Objective:To explore the early predictive value of umbilical cord blood S100β protein and lactate combined with amplitude integrated electroencephalogram（aEEG）in small for gestational age（SGA）preterm infants with brain injury.Methods:One hundred and six cases of SGA preterm infants were enrolled in this study in Neonatology Department of Inner Mongolia People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021. Umbilical cord blood serum S100β protein and lactate at birth of All SGA preterm infants were tested，and aEEG was monitored at 6h and 72 h after birth，corrected gestational age of 32 weeks and 37 weeks. According to the diagnostic criteria of brain injury in preterm infants，SGA preterm infants were divided into brain injury group（45 cases）and non-brain injury group（61 cases），and compared the differences of S100β protein，lactate and the designated time aEEG between the two groups.SGA preterm infants with brain injury were further divided into symmetrical group（28 cases）and non-symmetrical group（15 cases）. The differences of umbilical cord blood S100β protein and lactate level between the two groups were compared，and the diagnostic value in different types of SGA preterm infants with brain injury was also compared.Results:SGA preterm infants in the brain injury group had significantly higher levels of umbilical cord blood S100β protein［（0.826±0.218）μg/L vs（0.397±0.196）μg/L， t=8.316， P<0.05］and lactate［（8.5±1.3）mmol/L vs（3.8±0.9）mmol/L， t=3.281， P<0.05］than those in non-brain injury group.Symmetric SGA group had higher level of S100β protein than the asymmetric SGA group［（0.924±0.205）μg/L vs（0.438±0.196）μg/L， t=5.734， P<0.05］.But there was no statistically significant difference in lactate levels［（5.6±1.4）mmol/L vs（3.9±1.2）mmol/L， t=0.932， P>0.05］between symmetric SGA group and asymmetric SGA group. The abnormal rates of aEEG in brain injury group and non-brain injury group were respectively 100%（45/45）vs 22.95%（14/61）at 6 h after birth，95.56%（43/45）vs 16.39%（10/61）at 72 h after birth，62.22%（28/45）vs 6.56%（4/61）at 32 weeks of corrected gestational age，22.22%（10/45）vs 3.28%（2/61）at 37 weeks of corrected gestational age. The abnormal rate of brain injury group was higher than the non-brain injury group in the same nodal time，and the differences were statistically significant（ χ 2 value respectively 62.292，64.913，38.074，9.257，all P<0.05）. Conclusion:There were significant value in umbilical cord blood S100β protein，lactate level and aEEG monitoring in the early diagnosis in preterm infants SGA with brain injury. The combination of the three might be more helpful for the early diagnosis and timely treatment of brain injury in SGA preterm infants.

AIM: To determine the effects of valsartan on calcium channel and sodium-calcium exchanger current in isolated ventricular myocytes of congestive heart failure (CHF) rats. METHODS: Eight weeks after coronary ligation, the rats with heart failure were confirmed by measuring the hemodynamic parameters and divided randomly into the group treating with valsartan (CHF-T, 20 mg/kg) and placebo (CHF-C). Sham-operated group rats served as negative controls (PS). Twelve weeks later, 6 rats were selected randomly for the study of ion channel. Single ventricular myocytes of rats were isolated by enzymatic dissociation. The whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique was used to record calcium channel current and sodium-calcium exchanger current. RESULTS: (1) In the hemodynamic variables, HR and blood pressure were not significantly different in three groups. Compared CHF-C with PS group, LVEDP and Cm increased, LVSP and ?d p /d t max decreased ( P 0 05). (4) Na +-Ca 2+ exchanger current in CHF-C group increased significantly. Na +-Ca 2+ exchanger current in CHF-T group was smaller significantly than that in CHF-C group. However, CHF-T group and PS group were not significantly different. CONCLUSION: Administration of valsartan is effective in preventing from cardiac function deterioration, increases calcium channel current and decreases Na +-Ca 2+ exchanger current in ventricular myocytes of heat failure rats.
