Objective:To study the current status of longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) and to develop a prediction model based on clinical data from multiple NICUs.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, EPIs admitted to 32 NICUs in North China were retrospectively studied. Their general conditions, nutritional support, complications during hospitalization and weight changes were reviewed. Weight loss between birth and discharge > 1SD was defined as longitudinal EUGR. The EPIs were assigned into longitudinal EUGR group and non-EUGR group and their nutritional support and weight changes were compared. The EPIs were randomly assigned into the training dataset and the validation dataset with a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the training dataset to select the independent predictive factors. The best-fitting Nomogram model predicting longitudinal EUGR was established based on Akaike Information Criterion. The model was evaluated for discrimination efficacy, calibration and clinical decision curve analysis.Results:A total of 436 EPIs were included in this study, with a mean gestational age of (26.9±0.9) weeks and a birth weight of (989±171) g. The incidence of longitudinal EUGR was 82.3%(359/436). Seven variables (birth weight Z-score, weight loss, weight growth velocity, the proportion of breast milk ≥75% within 3 d before discharge, invasive mechanical ventilation ≥7 d, maternal antenatal corticosteroids use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia) were selected to establish the prediction model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the training dataset and the validation dataset were 0.870 (95% CI 0.820-0.920) and 0.879 (95% CI 0.815-0.942), suggesting good discrimination efficacy. The calibration curve indicated a good fit of the model ( P>0.05). The decision curve analysis showed positive net benefits at all thresholds. Conclusions:Currently, EPIs have a high incidence of longitudinal EUGR. The prediction model is helpful for early identification and intervention for EPIs with higher risks of longitudinal EUGR. It is necessary to expand the sample size and conduct prospective studies to optimize and validate the prediction model in the future.

Objective To investigate the induction factors of hypotension during cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) and to construct a nomogram prediction model. Methods A total of 130 parturients who underwent cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA from January 2020 to December 2023 in Yulin Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital were selected as study subjects. A self-designed general information questionnaire was used to investigate the basic information and the occurrence of hypotension of the subjects. According to the occurrence of intraoperative hypotension, the patients were divided into hypotension group (47 cases) and non-hypotension group (83 cases). Univariate analysis was performed on the general information of the two groups, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the induction factors of intraoperative hypotension. Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in body mass index, anesthesia level, presence of multiple pregnancy, preoperative systolic blood pressure, operative time, and the occurrence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex between the two groups (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index≥ 24 kg/m², anesthesia level was in the eighth thoracic vertebra(T8) or above, multiple pregnancy, preoperative systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg, operative time >1.5 h, and the occurrence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex were independent risk factors for hypotension during cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA (P < 0.05). A regression equation for the induction factors of hypotension during cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA was constructed: Logit(P)=-23.211+1.079×(body mass index ≥ 24 kg/m²)+1.101×anesthesia level (≥T8)+3.193×multiple pregnancy+2.214×preoperative systolic blood pressure (< 90 mmHg)+4.606×operative time (>1.5 h)+2.011×occurrence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex. The nomogram showed high discrimination and accuracy for patients with preoperative systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg. After 1, 000 times of Bootstrap resampling for the nomogram model, a calibration curve was obtained, and the consistency index was calculated as 0.850, indicating good calibration of the nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, with an area under the curve of 0.896 and 95% confidence interval of 0.802 to 0.956, suggesting good predictive performance. Conclusion Body mass index ≥24 kg/m², anesthesia level ≥ T8, multiple pregnancy, preoperative systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg, operative time >1.5 h, and the occurrence of Bezold-Jarisch reflex are induction factors for hypotension during cesarean section for perilous placenta previa under CSEA.

Objective:To investigate the infection status of the hepatitis B virus among the population over 18 years old in the Chaoyang District of Beijing from August to December 2020.Methods:A multistage stratified cluster random sampling was carried out on residents over 18 years old who lived in Chaoyang for more than six months in 2020. The estimated sample size was 8 525. A blood sample was collected and tested for HBsAg, anti-HBs, and anti-HBc using the Abbott Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay method. A questionnaire survey was also conducted.Results:A total of 9 875 residents were included; the overall positive rate of HBsAg, anti-HBc, and anti-HBs was 2.8% (95% CI:2.5%-3.1%), 33.9% (95% CI:33.0%-34.9%) and 45.6% (95% CI:44.6%-46.6%), respectively. The negative rate for all three serological markers was 45.9% (95% CI:44.9%-46.9%). The reported hepatitis B vaccination rate was 22.4%. The positive rate of HBsAg and anti-HBc were lower in group aged 18-28 years (1.9% and 6.8%, respectively) than the others, and that of the male was higher (3.6% and 35.4%, respectively) than the female (2.2% and 32.8%, respectively). The negative rate for all three serological markers increased with age. However, the positive rate of anti-HBs decreased with age. Conclusions:In Chaoyang District of Bejing, HBV prevalence among the population over 18 years old has decreased. The publicity and education about hepatitis B prevention and control should be strengthened to reduce the immunization gap of the population further.

The wind, phlegm, and blood stasis are important pathogenic factors of cough variant asthma in children, and they are also the pathological products in the occurrence and development of this disease. They have typical pathogenic characteristics. The main pathogenesis characteristics of cough caused by wind, phlegm and blood stasis are as follows that external wind attacks the lungs and induces internal wind, phlegm and dampness accumulates in the lungs, and the lungs fail to declare and descend, and blood stasis obstructs the collaterals and stagnation of Qi. The wind, phlegm, and blood stasis have their own pathogenic characteristics, and their cough-causing also have their own pathogenic characteristics and clinical characteristics. Based on the characteristics of wind, phlegm, and blood stasis, the application of medicine based on the differentiation of symptoms and signs can effectively prevent and treat this disease, and provide theoretical basis and treatment ideas for the treatment of cough variant asthma in children with Chinese medicine.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of a family with inherited generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS + ) caused by the KCNT2 gene mutation and review the literature. Methods:Clinical data of a child with GEFS + and his family members who visited Department of Pediatric Neurology, Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center in May 2019 were collected.DNA samples were collected from the peripheral blood of the proband, his parents, his elder brother, and his maternal grandparents, and genetic analysis and verification were performed using the next-generation sequencing technique.Using " KCNT2" as the key word, literature was retrieved from PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang databases (up to August 2019). Results:The proband was a 3-year-old boy who was admitted to Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center because of frequent epileptic seizures in the past 5 months.He presented with a binocular gaze and experienced 3 to 8 times of extremities myoclonic-spastic epileptic attacks every day.He had a history of 3 times of febrile seizures at the age of 2 years old.His seizures were refractory to Sodium valproate, Topiramate, Nitrazepam and Levetiracetam.His elder brother and mother had a history of childhood febrile seizures.Other members in the family had no history of convulsion.Ictal electroencephalogram showed general 1 Hz high voltage spike-slow waves.A heterozygous nonsense mutation of KCNT2 gene c. 574C>T(p.Q192X) that was never reported previously was detected in the proband, his brother, mother and maternal grandmother.Furthermore, no other family members carried the mutation at the c. 574 locus of the KCNT2 gene.No article in Chinese was found, and 2 articles in a language other than Chinese provided the complete data of 3 sporadic cases.Together with 4 cases in the family studied in this article, there were 7 cases and 4 mutation sites in KCNT2 gene.Of these mutations, there were 3 missense mutations and 1 nonsense mutation.Three sporadic patients presented with early infantile epileptic encephalopathy.The family of this study was characterized with febrile seizures and febrile seizures plus. Conclusions:A de novo mutation and phenotype of the KCNT2 gene is found in a family with GEFS + .It would expand the gene mutation spectrum and provide basis for family genetic counseling. KCNT2 mutation induced GEFS + is refractory to antiepileptic drugs.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of rapid hepatitis B vaccination with different vaccine dosages and types in adults.Methods Adults who were aged ≥20 years,negative in the detections of 5 HBV serum markers or only anti-HBc positive were selected from Chaoyang district of Beijing.They were divided into 4 community-based specific groups and given three doses of 10 μ g HepB-SCY vaccine,20 μ g HepB-SCY vaccine,20 μ g HepB-CHO vaccine and 10 μ g HepB-HPY vaccine respectively at month 0,1,and 2.Their blood samples were collected within 1-2 months after completing the three dose vaccination to test anti-HBs level by using chemiluminesent microparticle immunoassay.A face to face questionnaire survey was conducted,and x2 test,Mantel-Haensel x2 test,Kruskal-Wallis rank test and multiple logistic regression analysis were performed.Results A total of 1 772 participants completed vaccination and observation.Their average age was 48.5 years,and 62.75％ of them were females.The anti-HBs positive rates in the groups of 10 μg HepB-SCY,20 μg HepB-SCY,20 μg HepB-CHO and 10 μg HepB-HPY vaccines were 79.49％,84.34％,82.50％ and 74.15％,respectively (P=0.005),and the geometric mean titers (GMT) were 39.53 mIU/ml,62.37 mIU/ml,48.18 mIU/ml and 33.64 mIU/ml respectively (P=0.025).The overall anti-HBs positive rate and GMT were 79.01％ and 41.18 mIU/ml.The anti-HBs GMT of 4 groups declined with age.The differences in anti-HBs GMT among 4 groups minimized with age.The result of logistic modeling indicated that vaccine type and dosage,age and smoking were associated with anti-HBs statistically after controlling the variables of "only anti-HBc positive or not" and "history of hepatitis B vaccination".Conclusion Hepatitis B vaccination at dosage of 20 tg based on 0-1-2 month rapid schedule could achieved anti-HBs positive rates ＞80％ in middle aged and old people,which can be used as supplement of 0-1-6 month routine schedule.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of epileptic children at early stage,and to explore the high risk factors for children′s refractory epilepsy(RE)in order to provide evidence for the early and timely treatment of RE.Methods A total of 147 epileptic patients with correct diagnosis and reasonable treatment were enrolled.Forty-nine patients were classified as drug non-responsive epilepsy(DNR-EP group).The remaining 98 patients were classified as drug-responsive epilepsy(DR-EP group).With multiple conditional Logistic regression,the clinical characte-ristics between the 2 groups were compared to identify the early predictors for RE.Results Single factor Logistic regression analysis showed that the initial age of onset <1 year,more than 20 seizures before treatment in a week,focal seizures,more than 2 kinds of epileptic seizures,changes in seizure type in the course of disease,neurological impairment,early intellectual disability,abnormal cranial magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),fixed focal abnormalities on video electroencephalogram(VEEG) after seizure-free interval,diffused anomaly of non-epileptic wave in VEEG before treatment,poor response to initial antiepileptic drugs(AEDs) therapy,compliance with the characteristics of epileptic encephalopathy at early stage significantly increased in DNR-EP group.Then multivariate conditional Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that more than 20 seizures before treatment in a week(OR=2.679,P=0.043),more than 2 kinds of epileptic seizures(OR=4.364,P=0.013),fixed focal abnormalities on VEEG after seizure-free interval(OR=3.898,P=0.008),poor response to initial AEDs therapy(OR=2.611,P=0.036),and compliance with the characteristics of epileptic encephalopathy at early stage(OR=6.022,P=0.002) were the risk factors for developing into RE.Conclusions Children are likely to develop into RE if they have more than 20 seizures before treatment in a week,with more than 2 kinds of epileptic seizures,fixed focal abnormalities on VEEG after seizure-free intervals,poor response to initial AEDs therapy,and compliance with the characteristics of epileptic encephalopathy at early stage.

Objective To study the risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in gynecological patients administered prophylactic antiemetics.Methods A total of 1 000 gynecological surgical cases were reviewed.Data on patient characteristics,anesthesia,surgeries,and 1st postoperative day nausea and vomiting were collected and analyzed statistically.Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis included a history of motion sickness,the use of an analgesic pump,the duration of anesthesia,and the use of neostigmine.The odds ratios (ORs),in decreasing order,were that of a history of motion sickness [OR =1.953,95％ confidence interval (CI):1.404-2.716],the use of neostigmine (OR =1.831,95％ CI:1.203-2.786),the use of an analgesic pump (OR =1.472,95％ CI:1.017-2.129),and the duration of anesthesia (OR =1.256,95％ CI:1.058-1.492).The predictive model was described by the following equation:P=1/(1+e(1623-0.669X1-0.386X2-0.228X3+0.605X4)).Tne predictive accuracy of this model for the incidence of PONV in gynecological patients was 70.6％,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the predictive result was 0.642.Conclusion The independent risk factors for PONV in gynecological patients administered prophylactic antiemetics are a history of motion sickness,the use of neostigmine,the use of an analgesic pump,and the duration of anesthesia,in decreasing order of significance.

Objective To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of propofol-remifentanil closed-loop and open-loop anesthesia in gynecological laparoscopic operation under bispectral index (BIS) monitoring.Methods Forty female patients undergoing elective gynecological laparoscopic operation were recruited and randomly divided into closed-loop (group Ⅰ) and open-loop (group Ⅱ) groups.During anesthesia maintenance,the closed-loop group was administered with a BIS-feedback system to regulate the target effect-site concentration;whereas,the open-loop group was administered the target effect-site concentration according BIS value manually.The variation of non-invasive mean arterial pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR),SpO2,BIS,extubation time,consumption of propofol and remifentanil,Ramsay index,and subjective comfort grade were recorded at the selected time points.Results The extubation time in group Ⅰ was shorter than in group Ⅱ.The total dosage of propofol administered in group Ⅰ was less than that in group Ⅱ,but there was no significant difference in the total consumption of remifentanil.HR in group Ⅰ was steadier than in group Ⅱ.However,the MAP and Ramsay index were similar in both the groups.The subjective comfort grade in group Ⅰ was higher than in group Ⅱ.Conclusion The use of propofol-remifentanil closed-loop system by BIS-feedback anesthesia is safer,more controllable,with higher degree of satisfaction and sparing side-effects,we therefore recommend it during gynecological laparoscopic operations.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the functional protection exercise of radial artery after transradial coronary intervention (TRI).Methods The participants were randomly divided into intervention group and control group based on groups comparison.The age and gender were matched between the two groups.The patients of control group received normal nursing care after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI);the patients of intervention group received both normal care and functional protection intervention.The intervention conducted for three days and two cycles per day,which included a completely block of ulnar artery blood flow for 15-20 minutes and a repeat of this step after 30 minutes interval.Results There were four cases of acute occlusion,three cases of stenosis and seven cases of decreased blood flow in the intervention group.After the functional protection exercise of radial artery,the four acute occlusion cases were all recovered;the diameter of the radial artery increased more than 20％ for the stenosis and decreased blood flow cases;and the recovery of the radial artery diameter were significantly improved for the intervention group compared with that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The functional protection exercise of radial artery after TRI has significant effects on preventing the stenosis and decreased blood flow,as well as protecting the function of the radial artery.
