Background: Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease affecting preterm infants, with limited prevention and treatment options. Inhaled Nitric Oxide (iNO) is sometimes used to treat Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN) and Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (HRF), and its impact on BPD development remains debated.
Objective: To assess whether iNO-related factors are potential contributors to the development of BPD Grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ in very premature infants (VPI) diagnosed with PPHN or HRF at birth using Propensity Score Matching (PSM).
Article Synopsis
- This study examined the use and effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in preterm infants under 34 weeks gestational age across eight hospitals in China over a span of ten years.
- A total of 434 infants were analyzed, categorized into three gestational age groups: extremely preterm (24-27 weeks), very preterm (28-31 weeks), and moderate preterm (32-33 weeks), focusing on treatment outcomes and complications.
- Findings indicated that extremely preterm infants had the highest rates of iNO treatment and associated complications, with mortality rates inversely related to gestational age and birth weight, underscoring the importance of iNO in managing severe respiratory issues in this population.

Objective: To investigate the use of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) in hospitalized preterm infants in China over 10 years and its clinical outcomes.
Methods: A total of 616 premature infants who were administered iNO in the Neonatology Departments of 5 Class A tertiary hospitals in China for ten years from January 2013 to December 2022 were included retrospectively. Based on their enrollment periods, the patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 from January 2013 to December 2017 and Group 2 from January 2018 to December 2022, respectively.
Acupuncture and moxibustion for diminished ovarian reserve: A scoping review.
Complement Ther Med
October 2023
Objective: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) refers to the decreased number and quality of oocytes in the ovary. Acupuncture and moxibustion has a certain effect on DOR; however, the number of studies and reports of research evidence are limited. This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of the clinical research status of acupuncture and moxibustion for treating patients with DOR.

The comparative efficacy and safety of different acupuncture therapies are still unclear. The aim of this network meta-analysis (NMA) was to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of different acupuncture therapies for ALBP.
