RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the early application effect of the bedside sitting respiratory training in patients with respiratory failure and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation of the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD).Methods:A total of 102 patients with respiratory failure and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation of the AECOPD treated in Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from June 2018 to December 2019 were selected and divided into the control group and the research group by random digits table method with 51 cases in each group. The control group was given the conventional treatment and nursing measures; and the research group was given the bedside sitting respiratory training. Pulmonary functional and blood -gas analysis parameters, clinical outcome of patients, etc. before and after the intervention between the two groups were compared. Results:After the intervention, the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1), forced vital capacity(FVC), FEV 1/FVC were (1.79±0.22) L, (3.09±0.28) L, (62.16±5.94)% in the research group, and (1.43±0.18) L, (2.66±0.23) L, (53.48±5.31)% in the control group, the differences were statistically significant(t values were 8.36, 8.00, 7.19, P<0.01). Arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO 2) and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2) in blood gas analysis were (51.14±3.79) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (71.07±5.49) mmHg in the research group, and (57.52±3.86) mmHg, (65.62±5.27) mmHg in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -7.78, 4.72, P<0.01). The non-invasive positive pressure ventilation time, hospital stays were (7.41±1.76) d, (11.27±2.41) d in the research group, and (9.79±2.11) d, (15.46±3.12) d in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -5.71, -6.70, P<0.01). The incidence of adverse events was 3 cases in the research group, 1 case in the control group, the difference was no statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The application of the bedside sitting respiratory training in patients with respiratory failure and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation of the AECOPD can effectively improve the pulmonary physiological function, shorten the noninvasive positive pressure ventilation time and hospitalization time, which has clinical application value.
RESUMEN
Objective@#Autologous lymph nodes fragmentary transplantation combined with vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) on athymic nude mice to explore the association between regeneration of lymphatic vessel and tumor cell migration.@*Methods@#A total of 45 nude mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: Group A, simple autologous lymph nodes fragmentary transplantation, n=15; Group B, autologous lymph nodes fragmentary transplantation together with VEGF-C, n=15; Group C, without any intervention, n=15. At 1 month, 2 months and 6months after surgeries, the axillary lymph nodes of 5 mice in each group were dynamically examined by in vivo indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging respectively. The regenerated lymph nodes and relevant skin were evaluated using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining and the skin was quantitatively analyzed via immunofluorescence staining for lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1(LYVE-1) as well.@*Results@#One month after surgery, the right regenerated axillary lymph nodes in group B (5/5) were visible by in vivo ICG fluorescence imaging, whereas the same signals were not detected in group A (0/5). The results were the same at 2 and 6 months after surgery. HE staining showed that the cortical, paracortical, and medullary regions of the right axillary lymph nodes of the experimental group B were clear, and the lymphatic vessel structure was present, accompanied by lymphocyte infiltration. Immunofluorescence staining of the right upper limb showed that the expression of LYVE-1 in the lymphatic endothelium of the B group was significantly higher than that in group A (P<0.001) and the control group (both P<0.001).@*Conclusions@#Due to the promising consequence of regenerated lymph nodes, the procedure of autologous lymph nodes fragmentary transplantation combined with VEGF-C in athymic nude mice provides a reliable animal model for the next stage research.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestation,laboratory findings,treatment and prog-nosis of immune dysregulation,polyendocrinopathy,enteropathy,X-linked ( IPEX) syndrome,and to improve pediatricians'knowledge of this disease. Methods Clinical data of two cases of IPEX were retrospectively analyzed,and related literatures were reviewed. Results One of the two male children showed severe and early-onset enteropathy,another showed insulin-dependent diabetes onset. Both of them complicated with sep-sis. DNA sequencing of whole-genome exon group showed a mutation in FOXP3 gene. Finally,one of the two IPEX children accepted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation( HSCT) . Another one was waiting for the treatment of HSCT. Conclusion IPEX should be considered also in infants with typical symptoms including early-onset refractory diarrhea, multiple endocrine disease and severe recurring infections. Gene sequencing mayl help diagnose the disease. Early HSCT can improve the patients'outcomes.

Objective To study the effect of genetic polymorphism of leukotriene C4 synthase (LTC4S) and 5-lipoxy-genase (ALOX5) on efifcacy of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRA) in children with moderate persistent asthma. Methods Seventy-two children with moderate persistent asthma who visited the out-patient clinic of Shanghai Children’s Medical. Center from June 2011 to June 2013 were divided into two groups, each of which ifrst had ICS or LTRA+ICS for twelve weeks and then had the other for another twelve weeks. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to assess the genetic polymorphism of LTC4S RS730012 and ALOX5 RS2115819. Pulmonary function, clinical symptoms and C-ACT score were evaluated before and after treatment. Results After the treatment with LTRA, 75%forced expiratory lfow (FEF75) was improved more signiifcantly in patients with A/C or C/C genotype at LTC4S (RS730012) locus than in patients with A/A genotype. After the treatment with LTRA+ICS, there was no difference of pulmonary function among patients with different genotypes at ALOX5 (RS2115819). Conclusions The SNP of LTC4S (RS730012) is associated with the efifcacy of montelukast in asthmatic patients because of the improvement of small airway function.
RESUMEN
Most childhood asthma is easily controlled with regular use of inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)and rescue bronchodilators.However,despite effective therapies,there are many children with severe asthma who do not achieve well control.Those proportion of children will have persisting symptoms,frequent exacerbations and frequent hospitalization/emergency department visits.The reasons are complex and diverse.Although treatment compliance is a very important factor,about 70% of the variability is determined by genes.Many gene polymorphisms have been identified to be associated with asthma,such as susceptibility,airflow obstructuin,airways responsiveness and treatment response.To improve the treatment and the quality of life,and achieve the individualized targeted therapy matched with the severity of disease,it is important to identify the relationship between gene polymorphism and the severity of children asthma.
