The early clinical symptoms of newborns with acute bilirubin encephalopathy are absent or slight.In addition ,this diseaes is no specificity.So ne wborns with acute bil rubin encephalopaht y is easy to miss ni d iagnosis.If the best treatmetn opportunity of this disease is delayed,it can affect the long-term prog-nosis and survival.Neuros-pecfi ic nlo ase,cranial magnetic resonance imga ing,electroencpe halogram,amlp i-tude integrated electroencephalogram and rb ainstem auditory evoked potential can judge the position and in-tensity of brain injury from the different angle and level,which can provide important basis for the early diag-nosis and intervention of acute bilirubin encephalopathy.

Due to the fact that early full term newborn has no specific clinical signs,early diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage is difficult. Timely intervention will affect the longterm prognosis in patients with the treatment and survival. Amplitude integrated electroencephalography( aEEG) is a noninvasive monitoring and evaluation of brain function,simple and effective method,which can provide exact basis for full term newborn with hypoxic ischemic brain damage in early diagnosis and prediction of prognosis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Methods244 premature children 4 weeks after birth, which neonatal gestational age were ＜ 36 weeks, birth weight were ＜ 2 000g,were taken fundus examination.ROP stage at diagnosis, according to international law for the diagnosis and staging.Results244 patients with varying degrees of premature children with ROP in 49 cases(including 37 cases of ROP Ⅰ ,ROPⅡ of the 10 cases,ROP Ⅲ 2 ,ROP rate was 20.1％.Gestational age,birth weight,oxygen,mother pregnancy complications,acidosis, apnea,PaO2 changes, mechanical ventilation and infection on the incidence of ROP had a significant effect (all P ＜ 0.05) ;and shorter gestational age, birth weight, smaller, ROP incidence higher(all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe incidence of ROP and gestational age, birth weight,oxygen, mother pregnancy complications, acidosis, apnea, PaO2 changes and infection, mechanical ventilation and other factors, and the gestational age, birth weight, oxygen, apnea were independent risk factors for ROP.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and imaging features of perinatal autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease ( ARPKD) and a systematic review of the literature was performed to improve awareness of the disease. Methods A newborn with infantile ARPKD admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital was studied and her clinical data and imaging features retrospectively reviewed. CNKI, CBMdisc, MEDLINE and Embase databases were searched using autosomal recessive, perinatal and polycystic kidney as keywords. 9 case reports were retrieved from 2005 to 2015 and a total of 9 patients were analyzed. Results The gestational age of patients with infantile ARPKD was from 33 to 37 weeks. 6 of them were diagnosed using prenatal ultrasound and one patient was diagnosed using genetic sequencing. One of 10 infants had a family history, 4 patientsˊ mothers had abnormal pregnancy history (spontaneous abortion or miscarriage) and 7 (70. 0%) patients with respiratory failure needed mechanical ventilation. The ultrasound of all the patients showed enlarged and hyperechogenic kidneys. 9 patients died, and only one patient was alive after renal transplant. Conclusions The characteristics of perinatal APRKD are enlarged and polycystic kidneys, hepatic cysts and liver fibrosis. Infants with this disease have poor outcomes and high mortality rate. Respiratory failure and renal failure are the main causes of death in the neonatal period and early diagnosis and treatment are necessary.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic mutation types of the Mediterranean anemia in Guangxi region in the early neonatal period.Methods The observation group was the children who hospitalized in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomons Region during the period of January 2013 and November 2015,and diagnosed Mediterranean anemia were 85 cases.And 85 newborns that were in the hospital at the same time were selected as the control group.The matching condition between the observation group and the control group was the gestational age.We retrospectively analyzed the general situation (birth weight and gender) and the treatment procedure (the characteristic of blood routine examinations;the day-old of the onset of anemia;the endurance of jaundice;assisted ventilation;the time of oxygen therapy;the dayold of enteral feeding;the blood transfusion times) of the two groups.And the gene was detected in the observation group.Results The observation group's days of life [(13.00 ± 3.79) d] of the oral feeding were higher than that [(9.33 ± 1.95) d] of the control group's (t =2.730,P ＜ 0.05);the observation group's frequency [(3.0 ± 1.0) times] of the blood transfusion was higher than that [(1.0 ± 0.2) times] of the control group's (t =4.268,P ＜ 0.05).The observation group's days of life [(4 ± 1) d] of anaemic onset was shorter than that [(8 ± 2) d] of the control group's (t =-3.258,P ＜ 0.05).The mean corpuscular volume [(80 ± 12) fl] in the blood routine of the observation group was smaller than that [(91 ± 28) fl] of the control group (t =6.712,P ＜ 0.05).In the observation group,the mother's age of pregnancy was (29.19 ± 0.91) years,the birth weight of the newborns was (2.356 ± 0.748) kg,the service time of the ventilator was (7.11 ± 5.07) h,the time of continue positive airway pressure was (27.40 ± 15.17) h,the time of the oxygen provision was (84.98 ± 30.65) h,the time of duration of the jaundice last was (10 ± 3) d;and in the control group,the mother's age of pregnancy was (27.9i ± 0.88) years,the birth weight of the newborns was (2.507 ± 0.783) kg,the service time of the ventilator was (6.21 ± 2.55) h,the time of continue positive airway pressure was (9.64 ± 4.89) h,the time of the oxygen provision was(63.07 ± 21.87) h,the time of duration of the jaundice last was (15 ± 2) d.The parameters showed above were not statistically different between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).In 85 cases the detection of α-thalassemia in 60 cases,24 patients with β-thalassemia,1 cases of α-thalassemia combined with β-thalassemia.The logistic regression analysis showed that the age of the oral feeding completely (OR =0.233,95％ CI =0.081-0.673) and the times of blood transfusion (OR =6.621,95％ CI =2.777-15.784) were the independence factors of the Mediterranean anemia.Conclusion The early clinical performance of Mediterranean anemia is lack of specificity,and we must improve genetic testing and regulate blood transfusion as soon as possible to the one who has anemia and other clinical manifestations within a week immediately following birth or who is suspected of Mediterranean anemia patients by the blood routine examination.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics and risk factors of cow's milk protein allergy(CMPA)in infants less than 3 months old in Guangxi District.Methods From July 1 ,2012,to December 30,2014,infants less than 3 months old suspected of CMPA visiting the pediatric outpatient depart-ment of Maternal and Children Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were recruited,which included initial diagnosis and being transported from peripheral hospitals.Observation scale was formulated, attending physician screened patients and their senior made a definite diagnosis.All the infants underwent diagnostic algorithms and were followed up constantly.Results A total of 137 cases were divided into aller-gy group(n =51 )and control group(n =86).Two groups shared some common symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation,bloody stool,stomachache,gastroesophageal reflux(GER),indigestion,anorexia,feeding diffi-culties.Between the allergy group and control group the parameters such as feeding patterns (including breast feeding,mix feeding,formula feeding),improper deeding of food supplement,long-term use of antibiotics in neonatal period and parental atopy showed no significant differences(P ﹥0.05).The parameters in neonatal period including GER [20 cases (39.2%)vs.7 cases (8.1 %)],intake of cow's milk formula [51 cases (100%)vs.71 cases (82.6%)],feeding intolerance (including GER)[17 cases (33.3%)vs.1 1 cases (12.8%)],gut infection[8 cases(15.7%)vs.4 cases(4.7%)],transfusion of blood or/and bloody prod-ucts[12 cases(23.5%)vs.1 1 cases(12.8%)]showed statistically significant differences between the aller-gy group and control group(χ2 =19.538,P =0.000;χ2 =9.989,P =0.002;χ2 =8.308,P =0.004;χ2 =4.691 ,P =0.030;χ2 =5.198,P =0.023 ).Conclusion Symptoms of CMPA in infants no more than 3 months old involve mainly digestive system such as diarrhea,bloody stool,GER.Intake of cow milk formula in neonatal period play an important role in triggering CMPA.

Objective To discuss the safety of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO)for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Methods We analysed 65newborns diagnosed as BPD from January 2012to December 2013in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.They were divided into iNO group(n=35)and control group(n=30)according to whether administering iNO or not.The heart rate,blood pressure,oxygen supply time,assisted ventilation time,hospital stay,concentration of NO2 and methemoglobin,and the changes of coagulation function were observed dynamically before and after iNO treatment.Results There were significant differences in oxygen supply time[(37±9)d vs.(55±7)d], assisted ventilation time[(29±7)d vs.(35±9)d],hospital stay [(45±9)d vs.(54±7)d]between iNO group and control group(P﹤0.05).There were no obvious changes in heart rate,blood pressure and co-agulation function before and after iNO treatment(P﹥0.05).The incidences of the complications had no sig-nificant differences between the two groups (P﹥0.05).Conclusion Long-time iNO can shorten oxygen therapy time and assisted ventilation time,iNO therapy in BPD doesn′t found serious adverse effect to cardio-vascular function as well as coagulation function,and doesn′t increase the risk of intracranial hemorrhage and retinopathy of prematurity.

Objective To establish biological reference intervals of neonatal T lymphocyte subsets and IgG, IgA,IgMlevels in 24 -hour newborns in Guangxi.Methods Maternal history and neonatal clinical data were evalua-ted and recorded.Venous blood samplings were collected within 24 hours of birth and were sent for testing in half an hour.The neonates were divided into the early -preterm,the late -preterm and the term neonates group,1 1 0 cases for each group.The parturients were divided into Dexamethasone treatment group and without Dexamethasone treatment group.Data in neonates and the parturients and the sex were analyzed by SPSS 1 7.0 software and the biological refe-rence values were calculated.Results The two -sided reference intervals of 95% in the early -preterm group,the late -preterm group and the term neonates group were as follows:CD3 +:52.07 -88.92 g/L,58.1 6 -90.42 g/L, 56.1 5 -95.67 g/L;CD4 +:25.20 -59.26 g/L,31 .27 -72.91 g/L,28.44 -82.66 g/L;CD8 +:7.30 -36.26 g/L, 9.1 3 -38.49 g/L,1 1 .09 -48.99 g/L;CD4 +/CD8 +:0.34 -4.58,0.34 -4.58,0.32 -3.80;CD1 9 +:3.95 -27.59 g/L,4.04 -30.94 g/L,4.08 -38.70 g/L;NK cell:1 .34 -6.64 g/L,2.88 -8.92 g/L,3.07 -9.35 g/L;IgA:0.000 4 -0.039 6 g/L,0.000 0 -0.069 0 g/L,0.000 0 -0.069 0 g/L;IgM:0.001 6 -0.1 58 4 g/L,0.020 0 -0.1 40 0 g/L,0.020 0 -0.420 0 g/L;IgG:3.22 -1 0.98 g/L,1 .1 0 -1 4.62 g/L,5.00 -1 3.66 g/L.Moreover the ca-ses with Dexamethasone treatment were as follows:the late -preterm infants CD8 + 1 0.35 -40.33 g/L,NK 3.1 0 -9.46 g/L,term NK 6.60 -9.50 g/L;those in without Dexamethasone treatment:the late -preterm infants CD8 +8.42 -34.96 g/L,NK 2.94 -7.80 g/L,term NK 2.98 -8.94 g/L;according to gender,the males in the late -pre-term infants CD8 + 8.26 -35.66 g/L,term CD3 + 51 .90 -92.94 g/L;females in the late -preterm infants CD8 +1 1 .08 -40.68 g/L,term CD3 + 61 .1 0 -96.1 4 g/L.Conclusions Testing values of neonatal T lymphocyte subsets and IgG,IgA,IgM levels in 24 -hour newborns in Guangxi disperse largely and show some differences among the early -preterm neonates,the late -preterm neonates and the term neonates,and maternal Dexamethasone treatment during pregnancy and gender play a role in neonatal immunity.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic correlation and sensitivity of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG),brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) in the newborn.Method Term and near-term neonates (gestational age ≥ 35 weeks) with hyperbilirubinemia (the level of bilirubin over than 95th percentile) of high and intermediate risk group admitted in the neonatal ward of Guangxi Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from Jan 2014 to Dec 2015 were recruited retrospectively.The infants were assigned to ABE group and non-ABE group according to the diagnostic criteria of ABE.The clinical data of the newborns were collected and the diagnostic correlation between clinical diagnosis and aEEG,BAEP and cranial MRI were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was adopted to assess the diagnostic efficiency of the peak level of serum bilirubin,aEEG,BAEP and cranial MRI on the early diagnosis of ABE.Result A total of 152 newborns with hyperbilirubinemia were recruited,including 33 cases in the ABE group and 119 cases in non-ABE group.(1) The results of aEEG and MRI were marginally positively correlated with clinical diagnosis of ABE (aEEG:r =0.487,P ＜ 0.001;MRI:r =0.220,P=0.018),while the results of BAEP were closely related to the clinical diagnosis of ABE (r =0.593,P ＜ 0.001);(2) The results of BAEP and MRI on the diagnosis of ABE were positively correlated with those of aEEG (BAEP:r =0.424,P ＜ 0.001;MRI:r =0.307,P ＜ 0.001).(3) The area under the ROC curves for predicting the onset of ABE were 0.899 for the peak level of serum bilirubin,0.767 for BAEP,0.738 for aEEG and 0.590 for MRI.Conclusion There was the correlation on the diagnosis of ABE among the methods of aEEG,BAEP and MRI.The combined diagnosis of the three methods could play a complementary role.The aEEG contributed to the early diagnosis of ABE with high sensitivity.

Objective To evaluate the levels of total serum bilirubin(TSB),amplitude integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG) monitoring and brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP) individually and in combination for the early diagnosis of neonatal acute bilirubin encephalopathy by receiver operating charac-teristic( ROC) curve. Methods Clinical data was retrospectively analyzed. A total of 152 infants were diag-nosed with hyperbilirubinemia,including 119 cases of non-bilirubin encephalopathy group and 33 cases of bil-irubin encephalopathy group. The detection results of peak serum bilirubin,aEEG,BAEP combined with the three methods were determined with ROC curve analysis. Results The areas under ROC curve of TSB lev-el,aEEG,BAEP and in combination were 0. 900,0. 738,0. 767,0. 925,respectively,the corresponding sensi-tivity(specificity) in the cut-off point were 90. 91%(78. 15%),87. 88%(59. 66%),65. 52%(87. 91%), 93. 10%(82. 42%),respectively. It showed that the area under ROC curve of the maximum,the comprehen-sive assessment in diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of the combination of three methods were better than any single detection method by ROC curve. Conclusion The methods of TSB level,aEEG and BAEP play an important role in the diagnosis of neonatal bilirubin encephalopathy,and combination with the three meth-ods can improve the accuracy of diagnosis.
