Effects of pulmonary surfactant combined with noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome

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_(2),PaCO_(2),and PaO_(2)/FiO_(2)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_(2)and PaO_(2)/FiO_(2)in both groups were significantly higher than before treatment,while the level of PaCO_(2)was significantly lower.After treatment,the observation group had significantly higher levels of PaO_(2)and PaO_(2)/FiO_(2)than the control group,while PaCO_(2)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.

Surfactant Protein B 1580 Polymorphism Is Associated with Susceptibility to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Chinese Han Population

Summary: Whether surfactant protein B (SP-B)-18A/C and 1580C/T polymorphism were associated with susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Chinese Han population was investigated. After genomic DNA was isolated from blood of COPD smokers and control smokers, the genotypes of SP-B-18A/C and SP-B1580C/T polymorphism loci were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP) respectively. The results showed that there was significant difference in genotypes distribution frequency of SP-B1580C/T polymorphism locus between COPD smokers and control smokers. C→T mutation rate (including TT homozygote and CT heterozygote) in COPD smokers was higher than in control smokers (57.9 % vs 41.7 %, χ2=4.93, P<0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in genotypes distribution frequency of SP-B1580-18A/C locus between COPD smokers and control smokers. The allele frequency (29.1 %) of SP-B1580-18A/C locus is lower than T allele (70.9 %) in Chinese Han Population, and the distribution was different from that in Mexican, in which, the A and T allele frequencies were 85 % and 15 % respectively. It was concluded that SP-B1580 T allele was probably associated with increased susceptibility to COPD in Chinese Han population; The polymorphism of SP-B-18A/C locus maybe varied with race.

Early Intratracheal Administration of Corticosteroid and Pulmonary Surfactant for Preventing Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Preterm Infants with Neonatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Meta-analysis

There is uncertain result with regard to the use of inhalation or instillation steroids to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants. This meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of early airway administration (within 2 days after birth) of corticosteroids and pulmonary surfactant (PS) for preventing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). The related studies were retrieved in PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Clinical Trial, CNKI, Wanfang and VIP Database from inception to August 2018. Two reviewers independently screened the studies to ensure that all patients with diagnosis of NRDS were enrolled to studies within 1 day after birth, assessed the quality of included studies by GRADEpro system and extracted the data for review. The meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.2 software. A subgroup analysis about inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) delivery method was made between ICS inhalation subgroup [inhalation of ICS by nebulizer or metered dose inhaler (MDI)] and ICS intratracheal instillation subgroup (PS used as a vehicle). Eight randomized controlled trials were enrolled in the meta-analysis, 5 trials of which stated the randomized method, grouping and blinded method, and the follow-up procedures were reported. GRADEpro system showed high quality of 4 trials (5 articles), and the rest 4 trials had moderate quality. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of BPD was decreased in ICS group, the relative risk (RR) was 0.56 (95% CI: 0.42-0.76), and similar trends were found in ICS inhalation subgroup and ICS intratracheal instillation subgroup, with the corresponding RR being 0.58 (95% CI: 0.41-0.82) and 0.47 (95% CI: 0.24-0.95) respectively. ICS could also significantly reduce the mortality risk as compared with placebo control group (RR: 0.67;95% CI: 0.45-0.99), with RR of ICS inhalation subgroup and ICS intratracheal instillation subgroup being 0.81 (95% CI: 0.34-1.94) and 0.64 (95% CI: 0.41-0.99) respectively. Moreover, the percentage of infants using PS more than one time was lower in ICS group than in the placebo control group, with the RR and 95% CI being 0.55 (95% CI: 0.45-0.67), and that in ICS intratracheal instillation subgroup lower than in ICS inhalation subgroup (RR: 0.56;95% CI: 0.45-0.69, and RR: 0.35;95% CI:0.08-1.52 respectively). There was no significant difference in the incidence of infection or retinopathy of prematurity and neuro-motor system impairment between ICS group and placebo control group, with the corresponding RR being 0.95 (95% CI:0.59-1.52), 0.92 (95% CI: 0.62-1.38) and 1.13 (95% CI: 0.92-1.39), respectively. It was concluded that early administration of ICS and PS is an effective and safe option for preterm infants with NRDS in preventing BPD and reducing mortality, decreasing the additional PS usage, especially for the ICS intratracheal instillation subgroup. Furthermore, the appropriate dose and duration of ICS, combined use of inhalation or instillation of ICS with PS and the long-term safety of airway administration of corticosteroids need to be assessed in large trials.

This study investigatedexamined the correlation between surfactant protein-A (SP-A) polymorphism and the susceptibility of cvhronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Xinjiang Uighurs. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 194 COPD smokers and 201 healthy smokers of Uighur who were hospitalized in or paid a visit to one of the four Xingjiang-based hospi-tals involved in the study, betweenfrom March 2009 to December 2010. Single nucleotide polymor-phisms (SNPs) were studied on A/G atwithin amino acid aa62 (CCA/CCG rs1136451) and C/T within aa219 (CGG/TGG, rs4253527) in SP-A. Genotypes were determined by using the TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Our results showed that genotype frequencies were different be-tween the COPD and normal smokers infor aa62 (χx2=6.852, P=0.033). There were also significant differences in allele genotype frequencies between the COPD and the control and allele G might de-crease the risk COPD (χx2=6.545, P=0.011; OR=0.663; 95% CI: 0.484–0.909). The result suggested We were led to conclude that polymorphism of aa62 (CCA/CCG, rs1136451) of SP-A may be asso-ciated with the susceptibility to COPD in Xingjiang Uighurs.

Effect of different ventilation methods combined with pulmonary surfactant on neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome precipitates is widespread pulmonary injury in impacted individuals,the neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS),primarily observed in preterm infants,represents a prevalent critical condition in neonatal clinical settings.AIM To investigate the clinical efficacy of various ventilation strategies combined with pulmonary surfactant(PS)therapy in the treatment of NRDS.METHODS A total of 20 neonates diagnosed with respiratory distress syndrome,admitted between May 2021 and June 2022,were randomly assigned to either a research group or a control group.Neonates in the research group received treatment involving high-frequency oscillatory ventilation(HFOV)in conjunction with PS.In contrast,neonates in the control group were administered either controlled mechanical ventilation or synchronous intermittent mandatory ventilation,combined with PS.Arterial blood samples from the neonates in both groups were collected before treatment,as well as 6 h,12 h,24 h,and 48 h post-treatment.These samples underwent blood gas analysis,with measurements taken for pH value,partial pressures of oxygen(O_(2))and carbon dioxide.Concurrently,data was collected on the duration of ventilator use,length of hospitalization time,O_(2) treatment time,treatment outcomes,and complications of the ventilator.RESULTS From 6-48 h post-treatment,both groups demonstrated significant improvements in arterial blood pH and oxygen partial pressure,along with a significant decrease in carbon dioxide partial pressure compared to pre-treatment values(P<0.05).Although these changes progressed over time,there were no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).However,the research group had significantly lower X-ray scores,shorter hospitalization time,and less time on O_(2) therapy compared to the control group(P<0.05).Mortality rates were similar between the two groups(P>0.05),but the research group had a significantly lower incidence of complications(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The integration of HFOV combine with PS has proven to effectively expedite the treatment duration,decrease the occurrence of complications,and secure the therapeutic efficacy in managing NRDS.

Functional changes of pulmonary surfactant in rats with lung injury induced by endotoxin

We studied the functional changes of pulmonary surfactant （PS） in acutelung injury models produced by endotoxin injection (E.coli O55B5) in rats.The sur-face properties of the lung lavage liquid and the total phospholipids （TPL） ex-tracted from it were assessed on a modified Wilhelmy film balance.γ-A isothermof the lavage liquid revealed an increase in minimum surface tension and a de-crease in hysteresis area,recruitment index and stability index,whereas that ofTPL extracted from it did not show any change except for hysteresis area.Thesurface activity correlates positively with the TPL content but negatively with thetotal protein content in the lavage liquid.The findings indicated that there was adysfunction of PS in rats with the lung injury induced by endotoxin,suggestingthat the function deficiency of PS might be caused by decreased phospholipidsand increased proteins in the alveoli.

Morphofunctional Characteristics of Pulmonary Surfactant System and Its Effect on Immune Cells in Influenza A (H1N1) Pathogenesis

There is an annual increase of influenza-related SARI cases in winter months. Despite the high relevance of this problem, influenza pathogenesis and the role of surfactant system and its SP-A (surfactant protein A) enzyme in antiviral defense remain poorly understood. SP-A activates macrophage M1 polarization and triggers an antiviral response due to the activation of T-cells and dendritic cells. Therefore, surfactant system is an important element of infection protection and a promising therapeutic target.

Study on Pulmonary Surfactant of Sudden Death of Infant

Objective To find the pathogenesis of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) from changes of pulmonary surfactant. Methods By means of thin layer chromatography technique, surfactant in whole lung specimens of 10 infants with SIDS and 10 control infants without SIDS (dead of nonrespiratory diseases) were examined qualitatively and quantitatively. Results Eleven components in pulmonary surfactant were examined qualitatively, including lysophosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidic acid, cholesterol and neutral lipids. Quantitative examination showed that the amount of surfactant of whole lung specimens in sudden death group [(8.9±1.0) mg/g wet lung weight] was significantly less than that in control group [(12.6±1.4) mg/g wet lung weight, P<0.01]. Qualitative variance showed that the percentages of phosphatidylcholine (49.4%±2.0%) and phosphatidylglycerol (2.6%±0.7%) decreased markedly in sudden death group compared with those in control group (61.5%±3.0% and 4.3%±1.5%, P<0.01). Conclusion Before death there is serious defect on metabolism of pulmonary surfactant in sudden death infants, with the amount decreasing and the ratio of its components being disturbed, which is one of the important pathogenies of SIDS.

Effects of Different Surfactant Administrations on Cerebral Autoregulation in Preterm Infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome

To treat respiratory distress syndrome,surfactant is currently delivered via less invasive surfactant administration（LISA） or INtubation SURfactant Extubation（INSURE）.The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the two delivery methods of surfactant on cerebral autoregulation.Near infrared spectroscopy monitoring was carried out to detect cerebral oxygen saturation（Sc O2）,and the mean arterial blood pressure（MABP） was simultaneously recorded.Of 44 preterm infants included,the surfactant was administrated to 22 via LISA and 22 via INSURE.The clinical characteristics,treatments and outcomes of the infants showed no significant differences between the two groups.The correlation coefficient of Sc O2 and MABP（rSc O2-MABP） 5 min before administration was similar in the two groups.During surfactant administration,rSc O2-MABP increased in both groups（0.44±0.10 to 0.54±0.12 in LISA,0.45±0.11 to 0.69±0.09 in INSURE）.In the first and second 5 min after instillation,rSc O2-MABP was not significantly different from baseline in the LISA group,but increased in the first 5 min after instillation（0.59±0.13,P=0.000 compared with the baseline in the same group） and recovered in the second 5 min after instillation（0.48±0.10,P=0.321） in the INSURE group.There were significant differences in the change rates of rSc O2-MABP between the two groups during and after surfactant administration.Our results suggest that cerebral autoregulation may be affected transiently by surfactant administration.The effect duration of LISA is shorter than that of INSURE（〈5 min in LISA vs.5–10 min in INSURE）.

Changes of Tumor Necrosis Factor, Surfactant Protein A, and Phospholipids in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid in the Development and Progression of Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis

Objective To evaluate the alterations of biomarkers in the development and progression of coal workers＇ pneumoconiosis （CWP）. Methods The type and number of cells, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）, pulmonary surfactant protein, phospholipids and fibronectin in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were assayed in 14 health active coal miners, 21 coal miners without CWP and 13 miners with CWP of 0/1 to 1/1. Results Compared to active coal miners without CWP （8,23μg/mL）, TNF-α concentration was gradually decreased when dust exposure was stopped （5.90 μg/mL）. Elevated surfactant protein A （SP-A） level and phosphatidylglycerol （PG） to phosphatidylinositol （PI） ratio were found in miners actively exposed to coal dust （6528 μg/mL for SP-A and 10. for PG/P1）, and both parameters decreased when CWP progressed from CWP （0/1） （3419μg/mL for SP-A and 5.9 for PG/PI） to CWP （1/1） （1654 μg/mL for SP-A and 5.5 for PG/PI）. Conclusion Biomarkers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid can be used to screen coal miners at high risk of developing coal workers＇ pneumoconiosis.

Fetal lung surfactant and development alterations in intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

AIM: To investigate the association between total bile acid(TBA) level during intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy(ICP) and fetal lung surfactant alteration. METHODS: We recruited 42 ICP and 32 normal pregnancy women in this study. The maternal blood, fetal blood and amniotic fluid TBA level were detected using a circulating enzymatic method. Umbilical blood pulmonary surfactant protein A(SP-A) was evaluated with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High performance liquid chromatography was used for the determination of phosphatidyl choline(PC), phosphatidyl inositol(PI), lysolecithin(LPC) and sphingomyelin(SM). Amniotic fluid lamellar body was counted with a fully automatic blood cell counter. Fetal lung area and fetal body weight were calculated from data obtained with an iu22 color supersonic diagnostic set. Clinical information of a nonstress test, amniotic fluid properties and neonatal Apgar score, and birth weight were recorded for review. RESULTS: The TBA level in maternal blood, fetal blood and amniotic fluid in the ICP group were significantly higher than that in the control group(maternal blood: 34.11 ± 6.75 mmol/L vs 4.55 ± 1.72 mmol/L, P < 0.05; fetal blood: 11.9 ± 2.23 mmol/L vs 3.52 ± 1.56 mmol/L, P < 0.05; amniotic fluid: 3.89 ± 1.99 mmol/L vs 1.43 ± 1.14 mmol/L, P < 0.05). Amniotic fluid PC and PI in the ICP group were significantly lower than that in the control group(PC: 65.71 ± 7.23 μg/m L vs 69.70 ± 6.68 μg/m L, P < 0.05; PI: 3.87 ± 0.65 μg/m L vs 4.28 ± 0.74 μg/m L, P < 0.05). PC/LPC ratio of the ICP group was lower than that of the control group(14.40 ± 3.14 vs 16.90 ± 2.52, P < 0.05). Amniotic LB in the ICP group was significantly lower than that of the control group((74.13 ± 4.37) × 109/L vs(103.0 ± 26.82) × 109/L, P < 0.05). Fetal umbilical blood SP-A level in the ICP group was significantly higher than that of the control group(30.26 ± 7.01 ng/m L vs 22.63 ± 7.42 ng/m L, P < 0.05). Fetal lung area/body weight ratio of the ICP group was significantly lower than that of the control group(5.76 ± 0.63 cm2/kg vs 6.89 ± 0.48 cm2/kg, P < 0.05). In the ICP group, umbilical cord blood TBA concentration was positively correlated to the maternal blood TBA concentration(r = 0.746, P < 0.05) and umbilical blood SP-A(r = 0.422, P < 0.05), but it was negatively correlated to the amniotic fluid lamellar corpuscle(r = 0.810, P < 0.05) and fetal lung area/body weight ratio(r = 0.769, P < 0.05). Furthermore, umbilical blood TBA showed a negative correlation to PC, SM and PI(r pc = 0.536, r sm = 0.438, r pi = 0.387 respectively, P < 0.05). The neonatal asphyxia, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, fetal distress and perinatal death rates in the ICP group are higher than that of theCONCLUSION: ICP has higher TBA in maternal and fetal blood and amniotic fluid. The high concentration of TBA may affect fetal pulmonary surfactant production and fetal lung maturation.

IPPV; group Ⅱ： PEEP= 0.392kpa; group Ⅲ: IPPV and lungs inflated with0.392kPa during CPB. Results Crs was measured and airway aspirates were obtained. At the end of surgery,compared with the other 2 groups Crs, SatPC/TP and SatPC/TPL was decreased significantly in group I andlower than its baseline (P<0.05). Conclusio Use of PEEP and lung inflation during open heart surgery inchildren was more effective to improve lung function and surfactant phospholipid production.

Establishment of Surfactant-associated Protein A Suicide Gene System and Analysis of Its Activity

Summary： Alveolar epithelial type II （AT II） cells are essential for lung development and remodeling, as they are precursors for type I cells and also produce other non-repair cells （fibroblasts）. Progenitor ceils are believed to possess capability of multi-potent transdifferentiation, which is closely related to the niche, suggesting the importance of establishment of a lung progenitor cell niche model. We hypothesized that pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A （SPA） suicide gene system would cause AT II cell to kill itself through apoptosis and leave its niche. In vitro, the recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors-SPA-thymidine kinase （rAAV-SPA-TK） system was established to get targeted apoptotic AT II cells. The apoptosis of AT II cells was detected by using MTT. The results showed that cloned SPA gene promoter had specific transcriptional activity in SPA high expression cells, and SPA high expression cells （H441） transfected with TK gene had higher sensitivity to ganciclovir （GCV） than SPA low expression cells （A549）. In vivo, increased apoptosis of AT II cells induced by GCV in rAAV-SPA-TK system was observed by TUNEL. Finally, the successful packaging and application of rAAV-SPA-TK system provide experimental basis to get specific lung progenitor cell （AT II） niche in vitro and in vivo.

目的分析血清CXC趋化因子配体9(CXCL9)、可溶性血红蛋白清道夫受体163(sCD163)、肺表面活性蛋白D(SP-D)含量在老年慢性阻塞性肺疾病急性加重期(AECOPD)近期预后中的预测价值。方法回顾性分析2021年4月至2023年4月在榆林市第一医院进行治疗的110例老年AECOPD患者的临床资料。依据随访3个月的预后情况,分为预后良好组(n=75)、预后不良组(n=35)。比较两组基线资料,通过多因素Logistic回归分析老年AECOPD近期预后不良的危险因素,采取非条件Logistic逐步回归分析受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线预测急性生理与慢性健康评分Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)、血清CXCL9、sCD163、SP-D老年AECOPD近期预后的价值。结果预后不良组APACHEⅡ评分、血清CXCL9、sCD163、SP-D水平分别为(25.47±6.52)分、(12.16±3.21)pmol/L、(145.56±30.12)pg/mL、(137.21±35.47)μg/L,均高于预后良好组[(17.42±5.84)分、(9.45±3.12)pmol/L、(104.54±25.37)pg/mL、(113.45±30.67)μg/L],差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。多因素Logistic回归分析证实,APACHEⅡ评分、血清CXCL9、sCD163、SP-D是老年AECOPD近期预后不良的危险因素,均有P<0.05;经ROC曲线分析证实APACHEⅡ评分、血清CXCL9、sCD163、SP-D均可用于老年AECOPD近期预后的预测,曲线下面积分别为0.723、0.821、0.815、0.840,均有较高预测价值(P<0.05)。结论血清CXCL9、sCD163、SP-D水平升高将增加老年AECOPD患者近期预后不良风险,可将以上指标用于预测老年AECOPD患者近期预后,可获得较高敏感度与特异度。

经微创肺表面活性物质给药治疗早产儿呼吸窘迫综合征的效果及对动脉血气分析指标的影响

目的 分析经微创肺表面活性物质(LISA)给药治疗早产儿呼吸窘迫综合征(RDS)的效果及对动脉血气分析指标的影响。方法 选取2022年6月至2023年6月山西省儿童医院新生儿重症医学科收治的早产儿RDS148例,按随机数字表法分为常规给药组和微创给药组,各74例。微创给药组给予LISA治疗,常规给药组按照常规给药方法治疗。观察2组治疗情况、治疗前后动脉血气分析指标、住院期间并发症发生情况。结果 与常规给药组比较,微创给药组72 h内有创机械通气率、再次使用肺表面活性物质率更低(P <0.05),无创通气时间、住院时间更短(P <0.05)。与治疗前相比,治疗后2组动脉血氧分压(PaO2)、酸碱度(pH)升高(P <0.05),微创给药组高于常规给药组(P <0.05);2组动脉血二氧化碳分压(PaCO_(2))降低(P <0.05),微创给药组低于常规给药组(P <0.05)。与常规给药组比较,微创给药组支气管肺发育不良发生率更低(P <0.05)。结论 早产儿RDS经LISA治疗可改善治疗情况,改善动脉血气指标,控制并发症的发生风险。
