Objective To investigate the state of thyroid hormones and thyrotropin level in different gestation periods. Methods FT3, FT4, TSH and hCG were measured in 623 patients by ACS-180 automatic chemiluninescence analyzer. The urinary iodine was random measured by the use of iodine catalytic reaction mechanism of Arsenic-Cerium, rapid urinary iodine was detected with cold digestion method of quantitative detection. Result Serum FT3,FT4 ,and hCG levels in the first and second trimester were higher than in the third trimester ( F =53. 19,78.00,58.77, P <0. 05) ,and TSH levels were lower than in the third trimester ( F =5.68, P <0.05). The incidence of thyrotropin level disorder was 7. 54%, there were no significant differences in the gestation periods ( χ2 = 3.92, P > 0. 05 ). The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism,subclinical hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism were 3.53%, 2. 57%, 1.12% and 0. 32%, respectively. The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism in the first and third trimester was high, while the incidence of subclinical hyperthyroidism in the second trimester was high. Conclusions Thyrotropin level in the third trimester was lower than that of the first and second trimester. HCG changes were not the main reason that caused the thyrotropin level disorder during the pregnancy.

Objective To explore the effects of hemodialysis on patients' coagulation function and to analyze its rea-sons. Methods Blood samples of 68 patients before and after hemodialysis who took maintenance hemodialysis in our hospital from January 2012 to April 2014 were selected. Flow cytometry was applied to test P-selectin on platelet sur-face. Indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to test ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein, endothelial von Willebrand factor and D-dimer. Through the observation on patients, arrangement of patient data, and measurement of dialyzer blood volume after hemodialysis, reasons and analysis for changes of coagulation function for patients taking hemodialysis were retrospectively analyzed. Results All patients were discharged from hospitals after the treatment, and PT and FIB values after the treatment were significantly lower than those before the treatment (P<0.05). APTT and TT values were not statistically different from those before the treatment (P>0.05). Positive rate of D-dimer was 50%before the treatment and 0.0% after the treatment, and the difference compared before and after the treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05). Results of P-selectin on platelet surface, ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein, endothelial von Wille-brand factor and D-dimer after hemodialysis were significantly higher than those before hemodialysis, and the differ-ences were statistically significant. Factors affecting changes of patients' coagulation function included individual health quality, doctors' inaccurate assessment, inappropriate anti-coagulation, insufficient usage of heparin and inappropriate operation techniques by nurses. Conclusion Medical staff should enhance their knowledge of anti-coagulation, improve the assessment and testing of coagulation status for patients taking hemodialysis, provide anti-coagulation protocol timely and properly, and practice operation techniques. Meanwhile, although heparin is used during treatment, patients may still be highly coagulated. Therefore, regular monitoring of coagulation indicators is able to effectively reduce co-agulation during hemodialysis.

Objective:To understand the change trend and influencing factors of fecal calprotectin(FC) in very low birth weight(VLBW) infants, and to explore the application value of FC detection in the diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC) in VLBW infants.Methods:VLBW infants hospitalized in the neonatal department at Quanzhou Children′s Hospital from June 2018 to May 2019 were selected as research object for a prospective study.Fecal samples from the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 35th days after birth and fecal samples from the acute and recovery stages of NEC were collected continuously.The content of FC was determined quantitatively by immunofluorescence assay.Results:(1) The FC level of non NEC VLBW infants from 1 to 35 days after birth was 143.5(47.8, 391.2) μg/g.Univariate analysis showed that the level of FC fluctuated with the postnatal age, the level of FC was the highest at 21 days, and then decreased.The level of FC increased significantly in formula feeding, premature rupture of membranes, neonatal sepsis, feeding intolerance and pregnant mothers without glucocorticoid before delivery( P< 0.05). (2) Multivariate covariance analysis showed that prenatal application of glucocorticoid( F=10.550, P=0.001), premature rupture of membranes( F=13.311, P<0.001), neonatal sepsis( F=8.001, P=0.005), feeding intolerance( F=4.751, P=0.030) and NEC( F=54.566, P<0.001) had significant effects on FC level.After controlling the effects of prenatal corticosteroid, premature rupture of membranes, neonatal sepsis and feeding intolerance, the levels of FC in NEC group and non-NEC group were 3 162.3(1 412.5-7 244.4)μg/g and 141.3(125.9-162.2)μg/g, respectively.In NEC group, the levels of FC in acute stage and recovery stage were 3 166.9(1 745.1, 6 806.4)μg/g and 130.9(97.4, 273.9)μg/g, respectively, with significant difference( t=10.304, P<0.001). While the levels of FC were 2 347.9(1 404.4, 5 893.4)μg/g in the mild NEC and 4 114.7(2 764.5, 9 208.4)μg/g in the moderate or severe NEC, respectively, with no significant difference( t=1.131, P=0.280). Conclusion:The levels of FC fluctuate with postnatal age and it is affected by multiple factors.FC maybe a useful marker for the diagnosis and evaluation of efficacy of NEC in VLBW infants.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of family-centered educational intervention on disease-related knowledge, health behavior and subsequent visit compliance among children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods From October 2014 to June 2015, a total of 62 children with SLE from a class Ⅲ grade A hospital of Beijing were selected as the research object by convenient sampling method. They were divided into control group with 32 cases and observation group with 30 cases in chronological sequence. No children were withdrawn from the observation group, and 2 cases in the control group had not been followed up for 3 months after discharge. A total of 60 children had completed the study for 6 months. Children in the intervention group were given family-centered educational intervention, while children in the control group were given conventional treatment and nursing in ward. We assessed their disease-related knowledge and health behaviors before the intervention, 3 months after discharge, and 6 months after discharge, and evaluated their subsequent visit compliance before the intervention and 6 months after discharge. Results The disease-related knowledge level of children in intervention group was significantly higher than that of children in control group at 3 and 6 months after discharge (F=4.513, 5.412;P<0.001);For the health behavior, there was no significant difference between two groups of children at 3 months after discharge (F=1.948,P=0.057), but at 6 months after discharge, the intervention group was higher than the control group (F=3.399,P=0.001); There was a significant difference in the compliance of the two groups of children in the 6 months after discharge (χ2=6.667,P=0.021). Conclusions Family-centered educational intervention can rapidly improve the level of disease-related knowledge in children with systemic lupus erythematosus. It can improve children's health behavior and improve their subsequent visit compliance.
