IL-37b作用于树突状细胞CD39/ATP轴抑制类风湿性关节炎大鼠炎症反应的作用及机制

目的探讨白细胞介素37b重组蛋白(rmIL-37b)通过调节CD39/ATP轴抑制树突状细胞(DC)诱导类风湿性关节炎(RA)大鼠炎症反应的机制。方法将SD大鼠随机分为空白对照组(CTL)、CIA模型组、rmIL-37b 5μg/kg组、rmIL-37b 10μg/kg组,每组各10只。除了空白对照组外,其余大鼠采用含有卡介苗的完全弗氏佐剂和牛Ⅱ型胶原混合乳液免疫刺激,建立CIA模型。确定建模成功当天(D0),rmIL-37b组分别尾静脉注射5μg/kg、10μg/kg rmIL-37b;CTL组和CIA模型组注射相同体积的(1 ml/kg)生理盐水,连续给药15 d。免疫组化法检测滑膜组织Nod样受体蛋白3(NRPL3)炎症小体的表达,流式细胞术检测DC表型,另外试剂盒检测血清三磷酸腺苷(ATP)和免疫学指标。结果与CIA模型组相比,rmIL-37b 10μg/kg组大鼠足容积、AI值、NLRP3炎症小体表达量、血清ATP、IL-1β、IL-18、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、抗Ⅱ型胶原抗体亚型(anti-ColⅡ-IgG、anti-ColⅡ-IgG2a)水平均降低,同时DC表面CD...     

Moral Distress and Burnout in NICU Nurses

The objectives of this study were to factor analyze the Moral Distress Scale–Revised (MDS-R) in NICU nurses and to evaluate the relationships among dimensions of the MDS-R and the demoralization, exhaustion, and loss of motive dimensions of the Burnout Measure (BM). A total of 142 NICU nurses completed modified pen-and-paper versions of the MDS-R and BM. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the MDS-R-14 was a relatively good fit for the data. The compromised care dimension predicted BM demoralization (β = 0.24) and exhaustion (β = 0.22), the futile care dimension predicted BM exhaustion (β = 0.18), and the untruthful care dimension predicted BM demoralization (β = .25). Strategies to mitigate moral distress and resulting burnout in NICU nurses should address futile care, compromised care, and untruthful care.     

Immunogenicity and protective efficacy of adenoviral and subunit RSV vaccines based on stabilized prefusion F protein in pre-clinical models

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) remains a leading cause of severe respiratory disease for which no licensed vaccine is available. We have previously described the derivation of an RSV Fusion protein (F) stabilized in its prefusion conformation (preF) as vaccine immunogen and demonstrated superior immunogenicity in naive mice of preF versus wild type RSV F protein, both as protein and when expressed from an Ad26 vaccine vector. Here we address the question if there are qualitative differences between the two vaccine platforms for induction of protective immunity. In naïve mice, both Ad26.RSV.preF and preF protein induced humoral responses, whereas cellular responses were only elicited by Ad26.RSV.preF. In RSV pre-exposed mice, a single dose of either vaccine induced cellular responses and strong humoral responses. Ad26-induced RSV-specific cellular immune responses were detected systemically and locally in the lungs. Both vaccines showed protective efficacy in the cotton rat model, but Ad26.RSV.preF conferred protection at lower virus neutralizing titers in comparison to RSV preF protein. Factors that may contribute to the protective capacity of Ad26.RSV.preF elicited immunity are the induced IgG2a antibodies that are able to engage Fcγ receptors mediating Antibody Dependent Cellular Cytotoxicity (ADCC), and the induction of systemic and lung resident RSV specific CD8 + T cells. These data demonstrate qualitative improvement of immune responses elicited by an adenoviral vector based vaccine encoding the RSV preF antigen compared to the subunit vaccine in small animal models which may inform RSV vaccine development.     

神经节苷脂联合苯巴比妥治疗新生儿脑病的研究

目的探讨神经节苷脂联合苯巴比妥治疗新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病的临床疗效及对新生儿神经功能的影响。方法选取2017年3月-2019年3月本院收治的缺氧缺血性脑病新生儿106例,随机分为两组,对照组应用苯巴比妥治疗,研究组应用神经节苷脂联合苯巴比妥治疗。比较临床治疗有效率、神经功能恢复效果、治疗前后NBNA评分统计。结果研究组临床治疗有效率、不同程度的时间恢复效果、治疗后NBNA评分均高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论治疗新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病治疗过程当中,神经节苷脂联合苯巴比妥的治疗效果理想,可改善新生儿神经功能。     

PS结合CPAP治疗新生儿肺透明膜病的疗效

目的 探讨PS(肺表面活性物质)结合CPAP(鼻塞式持续气道正压通气)对新生儿肺透明膜病患儿的治疗效果.方法 随机选取医院2016年8月—2018年8月收治的106例新生儿肺透明膜病患儿,并将其均分为常规组(n=53)与联合组(n=53).其中对常规组患儿单纯用鼻塞式持续气道正压通气治疗,对联合组患儿在前者基础上配合肺表面活性物质治疗.结果 联合组患儿治愈率显著高于常规组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);与常规组患儿相比,联合组患儿肺炎发生率更低,且氧疗时间更短,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 肺表面活性物质联合鼻塞式持续气道正压通气治疗新生儿肺透明膜病,其疗效更明显,可在提高临床治愈率的同时,减少肺炎发生率并缩短氧疗时间.
