Article Synopsis
- This study compared the effectiveness of budesonide inhalation suspension delivered through a vibrating mesh nebulizer versus a jet nebulizer for treating premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) on high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV).
- Researchers analyzed medical records of 36 preterm infants, examining outcomes like mechanical ventilation duration, NICU stay, and respiratory metrics.
- Results showed no significant differences in most areas, but the vibrating mesh nebulizer group had better oxygenation and lower carbon dioxide levels after 2 weeks, suggesting it might be a more effective treatment option.
Knowledge of Chinese Pediatric Professionals Regarding Pediatric Pain Management.
Children (Basel)
November 2022
Many healthcare professionals base their perceptions of pediatric pain on their knowledge of the subject. Therefore, knowledge deficits in this area may yield negative attitudes toward pain management and add to the complexity of pain management in hospitalized children. This study evaluated the knowledge of pediatric clinicians in China regarding pediatric pain management.

Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire surveyed 231 neonatal clinicians employed in 5 neonatal intensive care units from 2 children's hospitals and 3 medical centers in China.
Measurements: The translated modified version of the Neonatal Palliative Care Attitude Scale was used to survey neonatal clinicians' attitudes and beliefs regarding neonatal palliative care.
In this research our aim was to investigate Chinese parents' awareness of pediatric COVID-19 in relation to protecting their children. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Fujian provinces in China using a Web-based questionnaire to survey parents of children aged 6 to 16 years old. The sample included 1222 participants.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and improve the clinical treatment of prostatic small-cell carcinoma (PSCC).
Methods: We reported 2 cases of PSCC derived from prostate cancer after treated by androgen blockade and prostate electrotomy and reviewed the relevant literature.
Results: Two patients with PSA elevation were diagnosed with prostate cancer by prostatic puncture biopsy and treated by maximum androgen blockade, which reduced their total PSA to the normal level.
Objective: To explore the inhibitory effect of polyphyllin Ⅰ (PPⅠ) on the proliferation of castration-resistant prostate cancer PC3 cells and its molecular mechanism.
Methods: We cultured human prostate cancer PC3 cells in vitro and treated them with PPⅠ at the concentrations of 0 (blank group), 0.4, 0.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of male infertility.
Methods: Based on the principles and methods of Cochrane systematic reviews, we searched CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases from inception to December 2012 for randomized controlled clinical trials addressing the treatment of male infertility with kidney-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and retrieval strategies, we extracted the data, evaluated the quality of the included literature, and conducted meta-analysis using the RevMan 5.
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men. The mucin 1 (MUC1) heterodimeric oncoprotein is overexpressed in human prostate cancers with aggressive pathologic and clinical features, resulting in a poor outcome. However, the functional role for MUC1 C-terminal domain (MUC1-C) in androgen-independent prostate cancer occurrence and development has remained unclear.

Methods: Based on the differential types in traditional Chinese medicine, 121 asthenozoospermia patients received at our clinic of andrology were divided into groups A (kidney-yin deficiency), B (kidney-yang deficiency) and C (spleen and kidney deficiency), and treated with Yougui Decoction plus Wuziyanzong Pills, Jinkuishenqi Pills plus Wuziyanzong Pills, and Shizi Decoction plus Liujunzi Decoction, respectively, all given once daily for 4 weeks. Sperm parameters of the patients were analyzed with the computer-assisted sperm analysis system before and after treatment and compared among the three groups.
