This multi center randomized clinical trial study was conducted concomitant within NICU of three university hospitals of Tabriz, Isfahan and Mashhad for a period of 20 months on neonates with gestational age of 27-32 weeks. All infants received nCPAP before administration of surfactant. If we required fio2>30%to maintain spo2 >85% then surfactant was administered. A 5f vascular catheter was placed through 1 to 2 cm below the vocal cords and surfactant was administrated slowly. Mean gestational age in TEC was 29.6 weeks and in InSurE was the same. Mean weight in TEC was 1339 grams and in InSurE was 1304 gram. Surfactant was administered to 66 preterm via TEC method and to 70 infant via InSurE. Mortality in TEC group was significantly lower than InSurE. P<0.01RR=0.56, CI, 95(0.420.76). NEC reduced in TEC. CPAP duration decreased in two centers, p<.05 but increased in another center. Fio2 decreased rapidly and HCO3 increased 2 hours after surfactant P<0.03 in TEC. The average mean of Oxygen supplementation, BPD, Mechanical ventilation between two groups was not statistically significant. TEC method was effective in treating RDS. Mortality was significantly decreased in TEC group. As TEC procedure is a new method of surfactant administration and there are few studies about it, so it is too early to be certain about all aspects of this procedure.","PeriodicalId":351803,"journal":{"name":"medical journal of islamic world academy of sciences","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122663908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that this compound significantly reduces tumour cell growth rate, decreases tumour weight and increases life span in comparison to those of EAC bearing mice. The test compound restored the depleted haematological parameters of EAC bearing mice towards normal. The compound also enhanced number of macrophages in normal mice.

The patient had a past medical history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus for 20 years, coronary bypass for 10 years, and Alzheimer's disease for 3 years. Plain abdominal x-ray revealed dilated small bowel loops with air-fluid levels (Figure 1). Abdomen ultrasound revealed dilated bowel loops. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated dilated ileal loops, suggestive of ileus, and a foreign body lodged in the terminal ileum, with wall thickening (Figure 2). The patient was hospitalized and hydrated with intravenous saline with potassium supplementation. She was referred to emergency operation. Operative findings showed adhesion and strangulation of the terminal ileum. A 30-cm necrotic segment of the intestinal tract was surgically removed. Macroscopic findings were a largely dilated small bowel proximal to a napkin present in the ileum (Figure 3). Histopathological examination of the ileum revealed necrosis. Intravenous metronidazole and ceftriaxone were administered for 10 days. After treatment, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and potassium were normal.
