Objective To analyze the nutritional status of premature neonates first fed with extensively hydrolyzed protein formula.Methods From January 2013 to December 2014, 157 premature neonates hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Shanghai Children's Medical Center who were first fed with extensively hydrolyzed protein formula were enrolled.Clinical data were recorded, including related diseases, birth weight and gestational age, nutrients intake, and growth charts.Two groups were divided according to the existence or absence of feeding intolerance, and three groups were divided based on birth weight (＜ 1 500 g, 1 500 ～ 2 500 g,and ≥2 500 g).Results A total of 60 (38.2％) premature infants had feeding intolerance.The lower the birth weight and gestational age, the higher the frequency of feeding intolerance, and the incidence of feeding intolerance in ＜ 1 500 g group was 71.1％.Compared with the feeding tolerance group, the feeding intolerance group had significantly smaller birth weight [(1 620 ±440) g vs.(1 980 ±421) g, P =0.000], gestatonal age [(31.3 ±2.6) weeks vs.(33.0 ±2.1) weeks, P =0.000], birth head circumference [(28.9 ±2.2) cm vs.(30.4±1.9) cm, P=0.000], and birth length [(41.1 ±3.9) cmvs.(43.2±3.4) cm, P=0.000],but significantly longer time before transfer formula [(26.4 ± 17.6) d vs.(7.9 ± 5.3) d, P =0.000] and time before reaching sufficient feeding [(21.5 ± 10.0) d vs.(13.8 ± 6.2) d, P =0.000].The time of first feeding [＜ 1 500 g group (6.1 ±5.1) d, 1 500 ～2 500 g group (3.8 ±2.5) d, ≥2 500 g group (3.3 ± 1.2) d,P =0.002], time before transfer formula [＜ 1 500 g group (28.7 ± 18.3) d, 1 500 ～ 2 500 g group (9.7 ± 8.1) d, ≥2 500 g group (7.0 ±3.8) d, P =0.000] and time before reaching sufficient feeding [＜ 1 500 g group (24.0±10.4) d, 1 500～2 500 g group (14.3±6.0) d, ≥2 500 g group (11.4±3.5) d, P=0.000] increased along with the decrease of birth weight.The proportions of infants receiving parenteral nutrition in the feeding intolerance group (93.3％) and ＜ 1 500 g group (97.8％) were higher, with more calorie intake from parenteral nutrition [＜ 1 500 g group (325.9 ± 59.4) kJ/ (kg · d), 1 500 ～ 2 500 g group (281.2±64.8) kJ/ (kg·d), ≥2 500 g group (269.9 ±43.9) kJ/ (kg·d),P=0.001] and longer duration [＜ 1 500 g group (27.1 ± 14.5) d, 1 500 ～2 500 g group (13.0 ±7.0) d, ≥2 500 g group (8.7 ± 3.4) d, P =0.000].In terms of growth indicators, the increase in head circumference was significantly higher in the feeding intolerance group than in the feeding tolerance group [(0.7 ± 0.6) cm/week vs.(0.6 ± 0.5) cm/week, P =0.045].The increases in body weight and head circumference in the ＜ 1 500 g group were significantly higher than in the other 2 birth weight groups [body weight: ＜ 1 500 g group (21.8 ± 9.5) g/d, 1500～2500ggroup(4.2±7.6) g/d, ≥2 500 g group (4.9 ±11.9) g/d,P=0.000;head circumference : ＜ 1 500 g group (0.8 ± 0.4) cm/week, 1 500 ～ 2 500 g group (0.5 ± 0.4) cm/week, ≥ 2 500 g group (0.6 ± 0.8) cm/week, P =0.005].After controlling the variable of feeding intolerance,weight gain was negatively associated with gestational age (r =-0.666, P =0.035), birth weight (r =-0.700, P =0.024), head circumference (r =-0.846, P =0.002), and the day of returning to birth weight (r =-0.697, P =0.025), while positively associated with head circumference gain (r =0.672, P =0.033).There were no relationship between weight gain and birth length, the day of first feeding, time before transfer formula, time before reaching sufficient feeding, parenteral nutrition calorie and duration, days of hospital stay and complications.Conclusions First fed with extensively hydrolyzed protein formula, the growth in feeding intolerant premature infants may be similar to the feeding tolerant ones, which is associated with parenteral nutrition support.Premature infants with lower gestational age, birth weight, and head circumference may be more suitable for extensively hydrolyzed protein formula feeding.

Objectives To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of late-onset group B streptococcal (GBS) sepsis. Methods From Jan. 2007 to Dec. 2011, iffteen neonates diagnosed with late onset GBS sepsis at discharge from NICU were retrospectively analyzed, meanwhile, thirty-four neonates diagnosed with late onset non-GBS Gram-positive bacteria sepsis at discharge were selected as controls during the same period. Results There were signiifcant differences in occurrence rates of shortness of breath, convulsion and apnea between late onset non-GBS sepsis group and late onset GBS sepsis group (P<0.05). The percentages of neonates with white blood cell count (CSF)>100×106/L, high-sensitivity C-reaction protein (hsCRP)>100 mg/L and glucose in CSF<3.11 mmol/L in late onset GBS sepsis group were higher than those in late onset non-GBS sepsis group (P<0.05). GBS was sensitive to penicillin, ampicillin, ceftriaxone, piperacillin/tazobactam, levolfoxacin and vancomycin. The rates of GBS resistance to erythromycin and gentamycin were both 87.5%. There were signiifcant differences in occurrence rates of meningitis, hydrocephalus and ependymitis between late onset GBS sepsis group and late onset non-GBS sepsis group (P<0.05), while no difference in mortality was found between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The late onset GBS sepsis is in-sidious, atypical, with many complications and sequelae. It is important for the suspicious neonates to use effective antibiotics as early as possible.

Methods A total of 187 patients were treated with a series of five or more full-face treatments using IPL and 755nm laser alternatly. After the treatement, the patients and physicians subjectively evaluated improvement in five aspects, including color of the face, telangiectasia, pore, pigmentation, and skin texture. Results According to comprehensive evaluation of the five aspects by the patient and physicians, and as compared to the first score, significant difference was observed (P

Objective: To investigate the mechanism that glutamine downregulates the cytokine expression in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Methods:PMBC were extracted from healthy volunteer by density gradient centrifugation,and stimulated by lipopolysaccharide.The release of TNF-α and IL-10 was analyzed via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and p-P38 via western blot. Results:Gln led to an increase in HSP70 expression,and decreased TNF-α、IL-10 release at 4 h after LPS stimulation.The expressions level of TNF-α、IL-10 and P-P38 were decreased after using SB203580.Conclusion:These results indicate that the effect of Gln could attenuate cytokine release in PBMC and might may be related to the inhibition of P38 MAPK.

Objective To monitor the changes of resting energy expenditure in ventilated critically ill children,to compare the results of standard equations and indirect calorimetry (IC) in predicting energy expenditure,and to investigate the possible influence factors of the metabolic status of the critically ill children.Methods From September 2012 to September 2013,56 critically ill children on assisted ventilation and fitting the requirements of IC in pediatric intensive care unit of Shanghai Children's Medical Center were enrolled in this prospective study.IC measurements were performed using metabolic cart on day 1,4,7,10 after trachea intubation.General clinical data of these children were recorded.Results 130 IC measurements were performed in the 56 children.The measured resting energy expenditure (MREE) did not exhibit significant differences among day 1,4,7,and 10 (P =0.379).Although there were no significant differences between MREE and energy expenditure predicted with Schofield and WHO equations (P =0.917,P =0.995),the agreement was poor between the measured and predicted values (R2 =0.185,R2 =0.322).The metabolic status of the children on day 1 of ventilation was only correlated with age (P =0.000) and height (P =0.027),not with severity of underlying diseases or clinical outcomes.Conclusions MREE of IC method in ventilated critically ill children did not significantly change over time in this study.A poor agreement was observed between equationpredicted energy expenditure and MREE.IC measurement of resting energy expenditure is recommended for guiding individual nutritional support among critically ill children so as to improve clinical outcome.

Background The dysfunction of the blink reflex the eyelid-closure ability appears in the patients with facial paralysis,and its management is the implantation of mechanical-assisted eye-closure device in the upper eyelid.A novel device is palpebral spring implant.However,there is no similar study in China.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of palpebral spring placement for lagophthalmos caused by facial nerve palsy.Methods This clinical research complied with Helsinki declaration and the protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Henan Eye Institute & Henan Eye Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to the surgery.A retrospective serial case-observational study was performed.The medical records of 11 patients who underwent palpebral spring placement for hypophasis due to facial nerve palsy were reviewed at Henan Eye Hospital from August 2010 to November 2012.Palpebral spring placement was performed by the same surgeon to ensure a more even outcomes.Palpebral spring was made by nickel wire,with the diameter of 0.3 mm and implanted on tarsal plate in 11 eyes of 11 patients with symptomatic facial nerve palsy.The lower tip of Levine spring was encased into a small terylene bag and sutured to the anterior tarsal surface during the surgery.Preoperative and postoperative symptoms,upper eyelid margin to mid pupil distance (ULMD),degree of lagophthalmos and eyelid moving scope were examined and compared between before and after operation.The operating complication was followed-up for 8-38 months.Results The discomforted symptoms disappeared in all the operated eyes.The ULMD was (3.51±0.73) mm in preoperation and (3.20±0.86) mm in posteration,without significant difference between them (t=1.36,P=0.10).The degree of lagophthalmos was (5.94±1.57) mm and (1.06±0.98) mm in preoperation and postoperation respectively,showing a significant difference between them (t =9.42,P =0.00).The eyelid moving scope was (5.89±0.70) mm in postoperation,which was significantly increased in comparison with (0.11 ±0.33) mm of preoperation (t =22.97,P =0.00).The palpebral spring implant was regulated in 1 patient during the follow-up duration due to the trauma.No complication in other 10 patients appeared during the follow-up duration,such as implant exposure,metal fatigue or infection.Conclusions Palpebral spring placement is safe and effective for lagophthalmos in patients with facial nerve palsy.

Objective : To investigate the trends in incidence of malignant tumors in Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province from 2013 to 2019, so as to provide insights into formulation of the malignant tumor control strategy. Methods: Data pertaining to the incidence of malignant tumors from 2013 to 2019 were captured from the Zhejiang Chronic Disease Monitoring Information System. Based on the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision (ICD-10) and data from the national population census, the constituent ratio, crude incidence and Chinese population-standardized incidence of malignant tumors were estimated, and the trends in incidence of malignant tumors were investigated using annual percent change (APC). Results: The annual mean crude incidence and Chinese population-standardized incidence of malignant tumors were 356.75/105 and 226.97/105, which both appeared an overall tendency towards a rise (APC=5.887% and 4.815%, both P<0.05). The crude incidence of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a rise among both men (APC=3.860%, P<0.05) and women (APC=8.534%, P<0.05) from 2013 to 2019, and the Chinese population-standardized incidence of malignant tumors appeared a tendency towards a rise among women (APC=8.392%, P<0.05). The largest increase in the crude incidence of malignant tumors was seen among women at ages of 15 to 44 years (APC=11.599%, P<0.05). In addition, the Chinese population-standardized incidence of lung cancer, colorectal cancer and thyroid cancer all showed a tendency towards a rise among men (all P<0.05), and the Chinese population-standardized incidence of lung cancer and thyroid cancer both appeared a tendency towards a rise among women (both P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of malignant tumors showed a tendency towards a rise in Yongkang City from 2013 to 2019, and the elderly and young females are high-risk populations for malignant tumors. Lung cancer, thyroid cancer and colorectal cancer are cancers that should be given a high priority.

Objective:To explore the role of lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) receptor(LOX1) in ox-LDL stimulating endothelial nitric oxide(NO) production. Methods: LOX1 mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The quantity of NO was detected by Enzyme-method. Results: Incubation of ox-LDL increased endothelial NO production and LOX1 mRNA expression. When HUVECs were incubated with ox-LDL as well as the inhibitor of LOX1, polyinosinic acid,the increase of NO production and LOX1mRNA expression were attenuated. Conclusion: Ox-LDL enhanced endothelial NO production in a concentration-dependent manner, and the effect of ox-LDL on endothelial NO was mediated by LOX1.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on serum procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cells(WBC) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in children with necrotising fasciitis (NF) and its efficacy, and explore the diagnosis value of above indicators.Methods From March 2011 to June 2014,50 cases children with acute necrotic fasciitis treated in Children's Hospital of Hebei Province as study group,which were randomly divided into hyperbaric oxygen group (n =25) and routine group (n =25) .The routine group received the routine therapy of incision and drainage to clear the lesion, hyperbaric oxygen group received hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the basis of routine group,while 50 healthy children were selected as control group.The serum PCT, WBC, hs-CRP levels, efficacy, complications, death and hospitalization time were observed and compared.Results The serum PCT, WBC and hs-CRP levels pre-treatment in study group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).The area under the ROC curve of PCT and hs-CRP was 1.000,respectively, and WBC was 0.804, there were significant difference between PCT and WBC (Z=5.250,P=0.000), between hs-CRP and WBC (Z=5.037,P=0.000).After treatment, the wounds of 23 case patients (92.00%) were cured in hyperbaric oxygen group, and 21 cases in routine group (84.00%) , there were no significant difference in cure rate between two groups.There were six cases(24.00%) of complications and one case (4.00%) of death in hyperbaric oxygen group,while nine cases (36.00%) of complications and two cases (8.00%) of death, there were no significant difference in complications rate and death rate between two groups.The hospitalization time in hyperbaric oxygen group was (39.17 ±6.73) d, which was significantly lower than (52.13 ±4.28) d in routine group(P<0.05).Conclusion PCT and hs-CRP have certain value in diagnosis of children with acute necrotizing fasciitis; incision and drainage combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a better clinical effect in the treatment of children with acute necrotizing fasciitis.

Objective To assess the nutritional status of critically ill children and the nutritional intake during their stay in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU),and analyze the correlation factors of nutritional deftciencies.Methods One hundred and twenty-seven patients who met the PICU admission standards with a PICU stay of ＞72 h were recruited from June to October 2012 in Shanghai Children's Medical Center.Anthropometric measurements and all nutrition-related indicators of those patients were recorded from day 1 to day 10.Results 59 of the 127 patients (46.5％) showed malnutrition at admission,in which 49.2％ had severe malnutrition.65 of the 127 patients (51.2％) showed malnutrition at discharge,in which 63.1％ were severely malnourished.Median estimated energy requirements (EER) by American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition was 376.7 kJ/ (kg · d) [interquartile range,IQR:314.0～376.7 kJ/ (kg · d)],prescribed calories were 237.8 kJ/ (kg· d) [IQR:159.5 ～291.8 kJ/ (ks· d)],and delivered calories were 220.2 kJ/ (kg· d)[IQR:132.3 ～ 279.2 k J/ (kg · d)],showing significant difference (P =0.000).The delivered energy was ＜90％ of EER in 80.7％ of the 1021 recorded days and the prescribed energy was ＜90％ of EER in 74.3％of the 1021 recorded days.The cumulative calory deficiency from day 1 to day 10 in PICU was (933.5 ±745.5) kJ/ (kg · person),and the cumulative protein deficiency was (4.0 ±5.0) g/ (kg · person).83 patients (65.4％) experienced at least one feeding interruption.Altogether 170 times of feeding interruption were recorded,of which 117 (68.8％) could be explained by examination procedures.Conclusions There is a high prevalence of malnutrition in critically ill children at admission into PICU,and their nutritional status deteriorates during hospital stay.Discrepancies between required and delivered energy were mainly attributed to under-prescription,while discrepancies between prescribed and delivered energy were mainly attributed to feeding interruptions.Appropriate care for these children entails early nutritional risk screening and correct nutrition support to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
