AI Article Synopsis
- - Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is a common and serious condition in newborns, primarily caused by a lack of surfactant, leading to breathing difficulties and high mortality rates in China.
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining pulmonary surfactant with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in treating NRDS by measuring the levels of keratin-14 (KRT-14) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in blood.
- - Results indicated that the combined treatment significantly improved the effectiveness rate and blood gas parameters in infants without increasing mortality or serious complications, while reducing KRT-14 and ET-1 levels post-treatment.
Article Abstract
Background: Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) is one of the most common diseases in neonatal intensive care units, with an incidence rate of about 7% among infants. Additionally, it is a leading cause of neonatal death in hospitals in China. The main mechanism of the disease is hypoxemia and hypercapnia caused by lack of surfactant.
Aim: To explore the effect of pulmonary surfactant (PS) combined with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation on keratin-14 (KRT-14) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in peripheral blood and the effectiveness in treating NRDS.
Methods: Altogether 137 neonates with respiratory distress syndrome treated in our hospital from April 2019 to July 2021 were included. Of these, 64 control cases were treated with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation and 73 observation cases were treated with PS combined with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation. The expression of KRT-14 and ET-1 in the two groups was compared. The deaths, complications, and PaO, PaCO, and PaO/FiO blood gas indexes in the two groups were compared. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was used to determine the diagnostic value of KRT-14 and ET-1 in the treatment of NRDS.
Results: The observation group had a significantly higher effectiveness rate than the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of neonatal mortality and adverse reactions, such as bronchial dysplasia, cyanosis, and shortness of breath After treatment, the levels of PaO and PaO/FiO in both groups were significantly higher than before treatment, while the level of PaCO was significantly lower. After treatment, the observation group had significantly higher levels of PaO and PaO/FiO than the control group, while PaCO was notably lower in the observation group. After treatment, the KRT-14 and ET-1 levels in both groups were significantly decreased compared with the pre-treatment levels. The observation group had a reduction of KRT-14 and ET-1 levels than the control group. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of KRT-14 was 0.791, and the AUC of ET-1 was 0.816.
Conclusion: Combining PS with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation significantly improved the effectiveness of NRDS therapy. KRT-14 and ET-1 levels may have potential as therapeutic and diagnostic indicators.

Background: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) can study the susceptibility values of brain tissue which allows for noninvasive examination of local brain iron levels in both normal and pathological conditions.
Purpose: Our study compares brain iron deposition in gray matter (GM) nuclei between cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients and healthy controls (HCs), exploring factors that affect iron deposition and cognitive function.
Materials And Methods: A total of 321 subjects were enrolled in this study.

To create a diagnostic tool before biopsy for patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels < 20 ng/ml to minimize prostate biopsy-related discomfort and risks. Data from 655 patients who underwent transperineal prostate biopsy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from July 2021 to January 2023 were collected and analyzed. After applying the Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique class balancing on the training set, multiple machine learning models were constructed by using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) feature selection to identify the significant variables.

Background: The role of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) in the risk-assessment of patients with de-novo stable chest pain is sparsely investigated. We assessed the association between Lp(a) concentration and the presence of coronary stenosis on coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in a broad population of patients referred with stable chest pain.
Methods: Lp(a) measurements and coronary CT angiography were performed in 4,346 patients with stable chest pain and no previous history of coronary artery disease.

Background And Objective: Helmet-Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (H-CPAP) is a non-invasive respiratory support that is used for the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), a severe medical condition diagnosed when symptoms like profound hypoxemia, pulmonary opacities on radiography, or unexplained respiratory failure are present. It can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. H-CPAP therapy is recommended as the initial treatment approach for mild ARDS.
