ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the clinical effects of different energy densities of enteral nutrition (EN) preparations on mechanical ventilation (MV) patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI). Methods Sixty MV patients with acute sTBI admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hangzhou Xiaoshan District First People's Hospital from July 2015 to December 2017 were divided into two groups according to different energy densities of nutritional preparations. Thirty patients of the control group were given nasal feeding with standard energy density EN (energy density 3.35 - 4.19 kJ/mL) and 30 patients of the observation group were given nasal feeding with relatively higher energy density (energy density 5.44 - 6.28 kJ/mL). The indexes of nutritional status between the two groups before and after treatment were compared: including prealbumin (PA), albumin (Alb), globulin (Glo), hemoglobin (Hb), 5-day and 1-week heat calorie compliance rates of reaching target calories, MV time and incidence of complications. Results There were no statistically significant differences in nutritional indicators before treatment between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The compliance rates of reaching target calories of the observation group on the 5 and 7 days after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group [5 days: 66.67% (20/30) vs. 50.00% (15/30), 1 week: 81.33% (25/30) vs. 70.00% (21/30), both P < 0.05], and the MV time was significantly lower than that in the control group (hours: 92.48±12.04 vs. 128.88±16.29, P < 0.05); the levels of PA, Alb, Hb, Glo were significantly higher in the observation group than those in control group on the 21st day after treatment [PA (g/L): 0.28±0.11 vs. 0.15±0.04, Alb (g/L): 36.52±5.79 vs. 29.63±2.74, Hb (g/L): 92.40±9.50 vs. 81.10±8.60, Glo (g/L): 24.42±1.73 vs. 18.19±3.59, all P < 0.05]. Complications: the total incidence of abdominal distension, diarrhea and constipation of the observation group was 36.6% (11/30), while that of the control group was 66.7% (20/30), the difference between the two groups being statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion High energy density enteral nutrition can improve the nutritional status of the organisms of MV patients with acute sTBI, reduce the time of MV and the incidence of complications, thus it is worthy to be widely applied clinically.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the functional changes and the clinical significance of B cell specific mono-clonal murine leukemia virus integration site -1 (Bmi -1 )and Th1 /Th2 cells in children with newly diagnosed im-mune thrombocytopenia(ITP)by testing the mRNA expressions of Bmi -1,helper T cell -related cytokine interferon (IFN)-γand interleukin(IL)-4 in children with newly diagnosed ITP.Methods Thirty -six cases of patients with newly diagnosed ITP in the experimental group came from the inpatient and outpatient children admitted to the Depart-ment of Pediatrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from April to December 201 3.In the control group,26 cases of children requiring selective operation were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Surgery during the same period.The mRNA expressions of Bmi -1,IFN -γand IL -4 in the peripheral blood lymphocytes were detected by means of the reverse transcription -polymerase chain reaction(RT -PCR)method,and were analyzed and compared by t test and linear correlation analysis.Results (1 )The mRNA expressions of Bmi -1,IFN -γand IL -4 in peripheral blood lymphocytes in the experimental group were 2.63 ±0.54,3.84 ±0.43 and 1 .44 ±0.39,respec-tively;while the mRNA expressions of Bmi -1,IFN -γand IL -4 in the peripheral blood lymphocytes in the control group were 3.91 ±0.92,2.88 ±0.57 and 1 .87 ±0.34,respectively.The levels of IFN -γof the experimental group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P 0.05).Conclusions Bmi -1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of ITP by regulating Th cell, and Th cell dysfunction may occur in the children with ITP,and the disproportion between Th1 and Th2 may be due to the advantages of Th1 .
ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss DNA methylation's effect on pathogenesis of pediatric immune thrombocytopenia (ITP)through detecting the expression level of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs)mRNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes of children with ITP.Methods Two mL peripheral blood was collected from each of 25 children with persistent and chronic ITP and 20 healthy children (the healthy control group)by using aseptic method in the pediatric ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from January 2014 to January 2015.First ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used as the anticoagulant.Then separate the mononuclear cells,extract RNA and detect expression levels of DNMT1,DNMT3A and DNMT3B mRNA using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method.Results (1) The blood platelet (PLT) of children with persistent and chronic ITP was (36.2 ± 19.6) × 109/L,which was obviously lower than the healthy control group(168.8 ±46.8) × 109/L(t =-11.85,P =0.000).(2)The DNMT1 mRNA expression level of children with persistent and chronic ITP was 0.17 ± 0.05,which was obviously lower than the healthy control group (0.27 ± 0.10) (t =-3.912,P =0.001).The DNMT3A mRNA expression level of children with persistent and chronic ITP was 0.20 ± 0.10,which was obviously lower than the healthy control group (0.32 ±0.11) (t =-3.779,P =0.000).The DNMT3B mRNA expression level of children with persistent and chronic ITP was 0.16 ± 0.1 1,which was obviously lower than the healthy control group (0.31 ±0.11) (t =-4.641,P =0.000).(3) There was positive correlation between the expression of DNMT1 and DNMT3B mRNA(r =0.433,P =0.031).There was positive correlation between the expression of DNMT3A and DNMT3B mRNA(r =0.721,P =0.000).Conclusions (1) Children with persistent and chronic ITP have lower expression levels of DNMT1,DNMT3A,DNMT3 B mRNA,which indicates that DNA methylation contributes to the pathogenesis of pediatric persistent and chronic ITP.(2) DNMTs have synergistic effect on DNA methylation of pediatric persistent and chronic ITP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between DNA methylation and pathogenesis of childhood immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) by examining the expression of DNA methyltransferase 1(Dnmt1) and DNA methyltransferase 3a (Dnmt3a) mRNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes of the children with ITP. Methods Expression of Dnmt 1 and Dnmt3a mRNA in the peripheral blood lymphocytes in 36 children with newly diagnosed ITP and 26 healthy children were detected using RT-PCR. Results Dnmt1 mRNA expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes in children diagnosed with ITP was 3.02±0.49, significantly lower than 4.58±0.52 in the control group (t=11.95, P<0.001). Dnmt3a mRNA expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes in children diagnosed with ITP was 1.49±0.44, signiifcantly lower than 2.41±0.32 in the control group (t=9.12, P<0.001). Conclusions Children with newly diagnosed ITP have lower DNA methylation status in peripheral blood lymphocytes as compared to that in healthy children. The DNA methylation may play an important role in the etiology of acute ITP in children.
ABSTRACT
Skin-hearing aid is a new type of electronic product, which can improve hearing for deaf patients. It is different from audiphones and cochlear implant. The instrument makes use of the effect of the skin response to audio signals. The working process of the instrument is as following. Firstly, the sound signal is converted to audio signal by microphone, then through the power amplifier and booster. Then the signal is transmitted to the brain via skin by electrodes. And finally the hearing is formed. As skin-hearing aid transmits signals through the skin by the electrodes, the intensity of the skin resistance becomes the main factor influencing the response of the skin to audio signal. Skin resistance depends mainly upon the stratum corneum. This article aims to discuss the factors affecting the skin resistance, such as the thickness of the stratum corneum, hydration level of stratum corneum, the relation of audio frequency and skin resistance, and the skin resistance of acupuncture points.
