Objectives:To observe the role of combined use of early micro feeding and intravenous nutrition in low birth weight(LBW) infants. Methods:Fifty four cases of LBW infants were randomly divided into two groups.Early micro feeding and intravenous nutrition were given in one group(EF & IN group) and another group(Control group) was given only with intravenous nutrition.The times of intravenous nutritional support requirement and hospital stay,the increase in body weight and the changes in serum bilirubin,lipids and creatinine were compared between the two groups. Results:The times of intravenous nutritional support and hospital stay were shortened and the body weight was increased in EF & IN group. The levels of serum bilirubin and creatinine and the serial concentrations of lipids on the day 7 and 14 after birth were significantly lower than those in control group. Conclusions:The combination of early,micro feeding and intravenous nutrition is superior to the only use of intravenous nutrition in shortrenning the critical course,increasing the body weight,beginning the oral intake and decreasing the possible injuries from total parenteral nutrition.

Objective To explore the relationship between folic acid levels of cord blood and birth weight, hyaline membrane disease in newborns. Methods Eighty-seven newborns were divided into premature infant group(42 cases) and term infant group(45 cases),intrauterine growth retardation group( 28cases) and control group (59 cases), hyaline membrane disease of premature infant group ( 13 cases) and premature infant control group(15 cases) according to the gestational age, birth weight, clinical manifestation and chest X-ray, respectively. Folic acid levels of cord blood were measured. Results The folic acid level of cord blood in premature infant group was lower than that in term infant group [(10.87 ±4.31) nmol/L vs.( 13.56 ± 5.07) nmol/L,P <0.05 ]. The folic acid level of cord blood in intrauterine growth retardation group was lower than that in control group [(11.01±4.29)nmol/L vs.( 14.87 ± 5.14)nmol/L,P<0.05]. The folic acid level of cord blood in hyaline membrane disease of premature infant group was lower than that in premature infant control group [(9.15 ±4.02) nmol/L vs.(12.91±4.51) nmol/L,P<0.05]. The positively correlation was found between the folic acid level of cord blood and birth weight in newborns (r =0.1825).Conclusion The folic acid level of cord blood is correlated with the occurrence of premature infants,intrauterine growth retardation and hyaline membrane disease in newborns.

Objective:The study aimed to analyze the risk variables influencing the prognosis of patients with sepsis-associated delirium (SAD) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and build a prediction nomogram.Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study that includes patients with SAD in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive CareⅢ database (MIMIC-Ⅲ) database as training cohort, and patients who were hospitalized in the First Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2021 to September 2022 as validation cohort. Inclusion criteria: (1) age≥18 years old; (2) being admitted to the ICU for the first time; (3) the length of ICU stay≥24 h; (4) consistent with the diagnosis of sepsis; (5) the diagnosis of delirium was identified by CAM-ICU questionnaire. The general information, vital signs, past medical history and laboratory examination results of the patients were collected, and the outcome was 28-day mortality. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify independent influencing factors and the nomogram was constructed. The validity of the prediction model was determined using multiple indicators, including calibration curve, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), decision curve analysis (DCA), and Hosmer-Lemeshow test.Results:A total of 250 patients were included in the training cohort and 154 patients were in the validation cohort. The multiple logistic regression demonstrated that age ( OR=1.057, 95% CI: 1.030-1.084, P<0.001), respiratory frequency ( OR=1.117, 95% CI: 1.037-1.202, P=0.003), lactic acid ( OR=1.137, 95% CI:1.011-1.279, P=0,032), hemoglobin ( OR=0.983, 95% CI: 0.970-0.997, P=0.020), SOFA score ( OR=1.184, 95% CI: 1.070-1.309, P=0.001) were independent risk factors associated with the 28-day mortality of patients with SAD. The AUC of the nomogram created by the five factors above was 0.773 (95% CI: 0.705-0.841), and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model was a good fit ( P=0.875). The DCA curve indicates that the model has potential net benefit. The AUC was 0.864 (95% CI: 0.799-0.928) in the validation cohort, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model was a good fit ( P=0.488). The DCA curve indicates that the model of the validation cohort had potential net benefit. Conclusion:The prediction model based on age, respiratory frequency, lactate, hemoglobin, and SOFA scores shows valuable capability of predicting the prognosis of patients with SAD, which could help clinicians identify risk factors at first time and make earlier intervention.

Objective:To investigate the disability status of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in China and to identify the influencing factors of the inflammatory bowel disease disability index (IBD-DI).Methods:From October 1 to December 31, 2021, a total of 1 170 IBD patients were recruited from 7 IBD centers and WeChat public platforms in China. All the patients were surveyed by the IBD-DI questionnaire, which included demographic information, disease activity, medication history, treatment and surgical history. Demographic information included gender, age, income status, etc. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of IBD-DI.Results:Among the 1 170 IBD patients, 746 patients (63.76%) were male and 424 patients (36.24%) were female; there were 871 cases (74.44%) of Crohn′s disease(CD), 277 cases (23.68%) of ulcerative colitis (UC) and 22 cases (1.88%) of inflammatory bowel disease undassified (IBDU). The age was 36.00 years old (29.00 years old, 45.00 years old), and the IBD-DI score was 9.00 (5.00, 15.00). The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the disease activity ( β=0.65, t=22.33, P<0.001), current treatment with enteral nutrition ( β=0.09, t=3.06, P<0.001), and history of perianal surgery ( β=0.06, t=2.12, P=0.034) were influencing factors of IBD-DI in the CD patients. Disease activity ( β=0.65, t=14.37, P<0.001), household per capita annual income ( β=-0.16, t=-3.59, P<0.001), current usage of immunosuppressants ( β=0.12, t=2.66, P=0.008), current treatment with enteral nutrition ( β=0.12, t=2.57, P=0.011), and the duration of each exercise ( β=-0.12, t=-2.67, P=0.008) were influencing factors of IBD-DI in UC patients. Conclusions:Disability is common in Chinese IBD patients, and their IBD-DI were different. Disease activity is the most important factor affecting IBD-DI. The IBD-DI is higher in IBD patients receiving enteral nutrition treatment, CD patients with a history of perianal surgery and UC patients with current usage of immunosuppressants. However, household per capita annual income and the duration of each exercise are negatively correlated with IBD-DI in UC patients.

Objective:To construct the continuous nursing need index system based on discharge readiness for patients with spinal cord injury so as to guide the clinical nursing practice.Methods:From January 2017 to July 2018, this study selected 115 spinal cord injury inpatients of Spine Surgery Department at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Qingdao as subjects by convenience sampling. The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) was used to investigate those patients. According to the investigation results, this study primarily built the continuous nursing need index system for spinal cord injury patients. Delphi method was used to select 25 experts for two rounds of consultation so as to establish the final the continuous nursing need index system for spinal cord injury patients.Results:Among 115 spinal cord injury patients, the total score and item average score of RHDS were (60.39±22.12) points and (5.27±2.75) points respectively. Among two rounds of consultation, the authoritative coefficients of experts were 0.78 and 0.81 respectively, and the coordination coefficients were 0.343 and 0.423. In the second round of consultation, the variation coefficients ranged from 0.09 to 0.18. The final the continuous nursing need index system for spinal cord injury patients included 5 first-level indexes and 33 second-level indexes.Conclusions:The continuous nursing need index system for spinal cord injury patients has a high level of authoritative coefficients and is scientific practical which can provide a basis for discharge health instruction in spinal cord injury patients and promote the safe transition in hospital-community-family as well as comprehensive rehabilitation.
