Abstract:Objective To explore the efficacy of high-frequency concussion ventilation combined with lung surfactant in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and the effects on inflammatory factors, myocardial injury markers, microRNA-21 (miR-21), respiratory mechanics indicators, and lung function indicators.Methods A total of 150 children with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome admitted from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected into control and intervention groups according to the randomized number table, with 75 cases in each group. The control group performed conventional ventilation with pulmonary surfactant and the intervention group performed high frequency concussion ventilation with pulmonary surfactant. The levels of tumor necrosis factor- α(TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) were determined by radioimmunoassay; The levels of the creatine phosphokinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and the amino-terminal type B brain sodium peptide precursor (NT-proBNP) were measured by an ase-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); The relative expression amount of miR-21 mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR); The respiratory mechanics indexes and lung function indexes were compared between the two groups; The clinical efficacy and the overall incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, CK-MB, NT-proBNP, relative expression of miR-21 mRNA and PaCO2 in intervention group were lower than those in control group 7 days after treatment (P < 0.05). PAO2, Oxygenation Index, TV, TPEF/Te, VPEF/VE in intervention group were higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05); total complication rate of intervention group (5.33%) lower than the control group (16. 00%) (P < 0.05).Conclusions High-frequency concussion ventilation combined with pulmonary surfactant is effective in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, improving respiratory function and lung function in children, reducing inflammatory response, protecting cardiomyocytes, and reducing complications.
