Objective To investigate the expression of stromal cell derived factor-1 ( SDF-1) and the effects of budesonide suspension for inhalation ( Pulmicort Respules) in mice with asthma. Methods Thirty Kunming female mice were randomly divided into three groups, ie. a control group, an asthma group, and a pulmicort treatment group. The asthma group and the pulmicort treatment group were sensitized with ovalbumin ( OVA) by a combination of intraperitoneal injection and repeated OVA intranasal challenges to establish mouse asthma model. The pulmicort treatment group received 100μL pulmicort by intranasal administration before OVA challenge. The immunohistochemistry was used to estimate the expression of SDF-1 in lung tissues. HE staining and Wright-Giemsa staining method were used to assess inflammatory infiltration in the airway and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) respectively. Results The expression of SDF-1 in the asthma group increased significantly compared with the control group ( 0.48 ±0.03 vs. 0.21 ± 0.02, Plt;0.05) , and significantly decreased after the intervention with pulmicort ( 0.29 ±0.01 vs. 0.48 ± 0.03, Plt; 0.05 ) . Compared with control group, the infiltration of inflammatory cells in airway was significantly enhanced in the asthma group, and attenuated in the pulmicort treatment group. The total number of inflammatory cells and eosinophil, lymphocyte, neutrophil counts in BALF increased significantly in the asthma group compared with the control group, and decreased significantly after pulmicort intervention. Conclusion SDF-1 may play an important role in the recruitment of inflammatory cells in asthmatic airway and pulmicort may relieve airway inflammation by decreasing the expression of SDF-1.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of aerosolized aminoglycoside antibiotics in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) by meta-analysis.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP and Wanfang Data for the Chinese and English literature on aerosolized aminoglycoside antibiotics for VAP until May, 2018. After data extraction and quality evaluation, RevMan 5.2 software was performed for meta-analysis.ResultsA total of 9 randomized controlled trials and a total of 543 patients were included in this study. Compared with patients treated with non-atomized inhaled aminoglycoside antibiotics, meta-analysis showed that aerosol inhalation of amikacin significantly improved the clinical cure rate of patients with VAP ［odds ratio (OR)=2.37, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.50, 3.75), P=0.000 2］, nebulized tobramycin ［OR=2.30, 95%CI (0.92, 5.78), P=0.08］ and two or more antibiotics ［OR=2.00, 95%CI (0.62, 6.46), P=0.25］ had no significant effect on the clinical cure rate of patients with VAP; aerosolized aminoglycoside antibiotics had no significant effect on mortality of patients ［OR=1.17, 95%CI (0.66, 2.07), P=0.59］ and tracheal spasm rate ［OR=2.39, 95%CI (0.94, 6.11), P=0.07］ and renal dysfunction rate ［OR=0.62, 95%CI (0.32, 1.21), P=0.16］ in patients with VAP.ConclusionInhalation of amikacin can significantly improve the clinical cure rate of patients with VAP, but it can not reduce the mortality rate of patients; the safety of aerosolized aminoglycoside antibiotics is good, and the risk of tracheal spasm and renal function damage in patients with VAP is not increased.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of intravenous polymyxin B alone and intravenous drip combined with nebulized inhaled polymyxin B in treatment of patients with carbapenem-resistant organism (CRO) pneumonia. Methods The clinical data of 85 patients with CRO pneumonia admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from September 2020 to June 2023 were collected using a retrospective study. According to the different ways of administration of polymyxin B, the patients receiving polymyxin B intravenous drip therapy alone were included in group A, and the patients receiving polymyxin B intravenous drip therapy combined with nebulized inhalation therapy were included in group B. The therapeutic effective rate, bacterial clearance rate, 30-day all-cause mortality and the level of infection indexes before and after the use of medication were compared between the two groups. The occurrence of acute kidney injury during the use of drugs in the two groups was observed and recorded. Results The pathogenicity culture results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.144). Serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein were significantly lower in the two groups after drug administration compared with those before drug administration (both P<0.05). The therapeutic efficiency and bacterial clearance rate in group B were higher than those in group A (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in 30-day all-cause mortality between the two groups (P=0.664). And there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P=0.650). Conclusion When polymyxin B is used to treat patients with CRO pneumonia, the intravenous drip combined with nebulized inhalation regimen is superior to intravenous drip therapy alone and does not increase the risk of developing nephrotoxicity.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of respiratory support in Community Respiratory Support Center on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in stable phase. MethodsSixty-four GOLD gradeⅢpatients with stable COPD over age of 55 years were randomly divided into two groups.A respiratory support group received respiratory support in Community Respiratory Support Center, including health education, long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT), long-term ambroxol for atomization, long-term budesonide and formoterol for inhalation.A control group were prescribed budesonide and formoterol for inhalation when recruited, informed LTOT and long-term ambroxol for atomization at home, and follow-up visits to clinic every month. ResultsAfter 24 months of treatment in the respiratory support group, SpO2, PaO2, FEV1%pred, 6MWD, BMI, and ALB increased, mMRC, CAT, Hb, PaCO2 decreased (P < 0.05).While in the control group, FEV1%pred decreased, mMRC and CAT increased (P < 0.05), other indexes did not change significantly (P > 0.05).The times of acute exacerbation and hospitalization of the respiratory support group was less than that in the control group(P < 0.05). ConclusionsEstablishing Community Respiratory Support Center will benefit patients with stable COPD correct hypoxemia, slow the deterioration of lung function, improve the nutritional status of patients, and can also increase patients compliance to treatment.
Objective To evaluate the effects of midazolam intravenous drip combined with lidocaine via nebulization on patients during mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit ( ICU) . Methods 60 thoracic patients required postoperative mechanical ventilation in ICUwere randomized into 2 groups. The patients in therapeutic group received lidocaine 1 mg/kg via nebulization and midazolam intravenous drip 0. 1 mg·kg- 1·h- 1 . The patients in control group received 0. 9% NaCl 1 mg/kg via nebulization andmidazolam0. 1 mg·kg- 1 ·h- 1 . According to the scale of Ramsay, the additional midazolam and fentanyl were injected to maintain sedation and inhibit cough in both groups. During ventilation, calm score, the number and the severity of cough, the mean arterial pressure ( MAP) , heart rate ( HR) , and the consumption of midazolam and fentanyl were record. Results The number and severity of cough, the scale of MAP and HR in the therapeutic group were all significant lower than those in the control group ( P lt; 0. 05) . Theconsumption of midazolam and fentanyl in the therapeutic group were also significantly lower than that in the control group ( P lt; 0. 05) .Conclusion Midazolam intravenous drip combined with lidocaine via nebulization can reduce the side effects and requirement of sedative and opioids drug in ICU patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.
Objective To investigate the pollution status of ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machine of traditional Chinese medicine and the effect of precision disinfection intervention, and to provide scientific basis for strengthening the cleaning and disinfection work of ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machine of traditional Chinese medicine. Methods From January to February 2024, samples were collected from the surface of seven ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machines of traditional Chinese medicine that could be used normally in the Department of Traditional Chinese Proctology of the First People’s Hospital of Longquanyi District, Chengdu. Samples were collected from four points, namely the nozzle, the front edge of the hip bath cover, the rear edge of the hip bath cover, and the outer edge of the hip bath cover, and at four times, namely before use, after use, after pre-intervention routine disinfection, and after post-intervention precision disinfection (including training of personnel, solidification of disinfection process, and improvement of disinfection supplies), to compare the pollution status and disinfection effect of the object surface at different points and sampling times, and analyze the microbial detection. Results In terms of different times, the qualified rate of specimens was 28.6% before use, which decreased to 14.3% after use; the qualified rate of specimens was 39.3% after pre-intervention routine disinfection, which increased to 92.9% after post-intervention precision disinfection, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=17.923, P<0.001). A total of 158 strains of bacteria were detected from unqualified specimens, including 121 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (accounting for 76.58%) and 37 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (accounting for 23.42%). The detected bacteria were mainly common environmental bacteria. The top three were Kocuria rhizophila, Dermacoccus nishinomurai, and Microbacterium aureum. The main pathogenic bacteria of common nosocomial infections were Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli, and no multi-drug resistant strains were detected. Conclusion Targeted cleaning and disinfection measures should be taken to ensure the disinfection effect and reduce the risk of nosocomial infection for special medical instruments such as ultrasonic atomization fumigation and washing machine of traditional Chinese medicine.
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of triple aerosol inhalation of pulmicort respules,ipratropine and ventolin in treatment of severe acute asthma exacerbations in adults. Methods46 cases of severe asthmatic patients with acute exacerbations admitted between May 2011 and May 2013 were recruited in the study.They were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group,23 cases in each group.The control group received aminophylline and methylprednisolone intravenously,while the treatment group received triple aerosol inhalation of pulmicort respules,ipratropine and ventolin on the basic treatment of the control group.The clinical efficacy,the score of asthma symptom of the day and night,the time of disappearance of symptoms and wheezing sound,the glucocorticoid dosage and the incidence of adverse reactions of each group were compared. ResultsComparison of clinical efficacy of two groups drew significant differences (P<0.05) after 7 days.The score of asthma symptom of the day and night in the treatment group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05).Except cough,the duration of wheezing,breathlessness,chest distress and extinction time of wheezing sound in the treatment group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05).The triple inhalation therapy can reduce the dosage and shorten the period of intravenous glucocorticoid treatment with slight adverse reactions (P<0.05). ConclusionIn the treatment of severe asthmatic patients with acute exacerbations,the clinical efficacy of triple aerosol inhalation of pulmicort respules,ipratropine and ventolin on the base of intravenous treatment is satisfactory with rapid onset,which can also reduce the glucocorticoid dosage and the incidence of adverse reactions.So the combination therapy is worthy of clinical use.
