Objective: To investigate the correlation between suPAR (soluble urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor) levels and imaging findings in children with severe pneumonia. Methods: 70 cases of children with pneumonia in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the research object. Among them, 35 children with severe pneumonia, 22 males and 13 females, were divided into severe group, 35 children with mild pneumonia, 20 males and 15 females. The levels of suPAR, myocardial enzymes, and lung imaging results were compared between the two groups, to understand whether suPAR has sensitivity and specificity in severe pneumonia, and to analyze whether there is correlation between suPAR level andmyocardial enzyme and lung imaging results. Results: The level of suPAR in the severe group was significantly higher than that in the mild group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The severe group was creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) and creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase(AST) myocardial enzyme related indicators were significantly higher than the mild group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the two groups of children with increased density, flocculent shadows, knots, there was no significant difference in the number of segmental consolidation and patchy shadows(P>0.05). There was a significant difference in the number of atelectasis, large patchy shadows, and double lung striae between the two groups (P<0.05); suPAR level and CK- MB, CK, LDH, AST and imaging characteristics were positively correlated (P<0.05). The AUC of serum suPAR level for ROC of severe pneumonia was 0.897 (95% CI: 0.819-0.975), and the optimal cutoff value was 1.9 ng/ml. the specificity, sensitivity were 82.86 %, 85.71 %, respectively. Conclusion: The value of suPAR in the severe pneumonia group is positively correlated with myocardial enzymes; the level of suPAR is correlated with imaging findings; the higher the level of suPAR, the more critical the condition, high sensitivity and specificity in the evaluation of severe pneumonia.

Objective: To analyze serum soluble urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), procalcitoni (PCT), C-reaction protein (C-reaction) Objective to evaluate the efficacy of CRP level in the differential diagnosis of severe pneumonia in children,so as to better evaluate the severity of the disease, guide the treatment and reduce the mortality of severe pneumonia. Methods: 80 cases of children with acquired pneumonia admitted to Guiyang Second People’s Hospital and Guiyang children’s Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects, including 40 cases of mild and 40 cases of severe children. White blood count (WBC), neutrophil (N), CRP, PCT and suPAR levels were detected at admission. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare the diagnostic efficacy of each index on the severity of pneumonia in children. Results: The levels of WBC, N, PCT, CRP and suPAR in the severe group were significantly higher than those in the mild group (P<0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum suPAR levels were positively correlated with WBC, N, PCT and CRP levels (P<0.05) . The area under curve (AUC) was 0.866 (95%CI: 0.780-0.951), the best cut-off value was 1.8, and the sensitivity, specificity and Youden index were 85.73 %, 83.52 % and 69.25 %,respectively. Conclusion: Early detection of serum suPAR can predict the severity of acquired community pneumonia in children, and the effect is better than WBC, N, PCT, CRP and other indicators.

Objective　To explore the application effect of narrative nursing in maintaining normal lactation state of parturients with mother infant separation during the hospitalization. Methods　Parturients delivered in the Tenth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from January to December 2020 and transferred immediately after the delivery were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group added narrative nursing mode under the routine nursing mode. The nursing related outcome indexes of the two groups were analyzed. Results　The first time of milking， average times of milking during the hospitalization， start time of lactation phase II and postpartum depression score of the narrative nursing group were better than those of the control group （P < 0.01）；Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the start time of lactation phase II was positively correlated with the postpartum depression， and the total variance explained was 67.00%. Conclusion　Narrative nursing is beneficial to keep the normal lactation of parturients with mother infant separation during the hospitalization， and can improve the level of pure breast feeding.

Skeletal muscles are the body′s agent of motion and important sites for the control of metabolism. The respiratory muscles are unique among skeletal muscles, since they must work without sustained rest throughout life. The diaphragm is the principal inspiratory pump muscle,it is more resistant to developing fatigue than limb muscles. The blood flow and the oxidative capacity of the diaphragm exceed those of limb muscles. Muscle atrophy and contractile dysfunction can be found in a variety of diseases. The reductions in muscle mass is tilted toward reduced protein synthesis and enhanced protein degradation. During pathologic conditions, enhanced protein breakdown is the main reason resulting in myofiber atrophy. Recent studies have underlined a critical role for the autophagy-lysosome (AL) system in regulating muscle mass. The main function of AL system involves the delivery of cytoplasmic cargo sequestered inside double-membrane vesicles to the lysosome which can eliminate the cell of superfluous or damaged organelles and proteins. Basal autophagy is necessary to muscle homeostasis, since it is responsible for the removal of intracellular metabolites. But excessive activation of autophagy can aggravate catabolism and contribute to muscle loss. This review focuses on the AL system and discusses its beneficial or detrimental role in skeletal and diaphragm atrophy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To explore the clinical effect and safety of low molecular heparin combined with salvia miltiorrhiza injection in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. Methods: 78 acute myocardial infarction patients were randomly divided into the treating group (39 people) and the control group (39 people). The two groups are performed conventional treatment, then patients in the treating group were performed low molecular heparin combined with salvia miltiorrhiza injection and those in the control group received the treatment of low molecular heparin. Medical cost, hospital stays and clinical effect between the two groups were compared. Results: There is significantly statistical difference in medical cost, hospital stays and coronary artery recanalization between the two groups (P <0.05). Conclusion: The clinical efficacy of low molecular heparin combined with salvia miltiorrhiza injection for treating acute myocardial infarction is conclusive, which is worth promoting.

Objective To investigate the status of asthma control and the parents′ cognitive level of asthmatic children in Guiyang. Methods A total of 400 children with asthma who had been diagnosed at least 12 months before were selected, and questionnaire survey was conducted on the parents about the status of asthma control and their cognitive level about asthma. After that, the results were analyed. Results In the past 12 months, 72.5% of asthmatic children had asthma attacks, 35.5% had visited the emergency room, and 17.8% of had been hospitalized. The children′s parents in 61.5% thought that the nature of asthma was a chronic airway inflammatory disease, 72 .3% thought asthma was able to control, 77 .0% thought asthma needed regular medication for a long time, and 86 .8% thought that long-term use of inhaled corticosteroids would affect children′s growth and development. When the acute asthma attacked, 37 .3% of parents would add antibiotics and 26 . 5% would choose short-acting β2-receptor agonists; meanwhile, 34 .2% of parents thought that asthmatic children could participate in the normal movement when the asthma was under control, 35.5% would let their children adhere to using medicines regularly, and 25.5% would bring their children to return visit hospital on time.Conclusion Children′s asthma is poorly controlled in Guiyang area, and some parents′ cognitive level about asthma is low.
