Objective To determine contact allergens and their clinical significance in patients with dermatitis or eczema in Wuxi city.MethodsPatch test was conducted in 1065 patients with a clinical diagnosis of dermatitis or eczema.A statistical analysis was carried out.Results Positive patch test reactions were observed in 83.19% of the patients,with no statistical differences in the frequency of positive patch test reactions between female and male patients or between patients of different age groups.The most frequent 6 allergens were potassium dichromate,cobalt chloride,nickle sulfate,formaldehyde,carba mix and fragrance mix in these patients.Female patients showed a higher frequency of positive patch test reaction to nickle sulfate and formaldehyde,but a lower frequency to potassium dichromate and carba mix compared with male patients (all P< 0.01 ); young,middle-aged,and old patients exhibited an increased frequency of positive reaction to cobaly chloride compared with child patients,while young and middle-aged patients showed a decreased frequency to nickel sulfate compared with child patients (all P < 0.05).Conclusion Potassium dichromate,cobalt chloride,nickle sulfate,formaldehyde,carba mix and fragrance mix are the main allergens causing dermatitis and eczema in Wuxi city.

Objective:To study the effect of oropharyngeal colostrum administration on salivary secretory IgA (sIgA) levels in extremely/very low birth weight preterm infants fed by gastric tube.Methods:Preterm infants with birth weight <1 500 g ( n=90) hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit of the Affiliated Shenzhen Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital of Southern Medical University from August 2020 to January 2021 were enrolled as research subjects. They were assigned into observation group and control group. The observation group accepted oropharyngeal administration of colostrum before being fed by gastric tube once every 3 hours for 7 days. The control group was given normal saline before each feeding. Other nursing interventions were consistent with the observation group. Saliva samples were collected at the 2 hour and 7 day after birth and the levels of slgA were tested. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was applied to analyse the data. Results:A total of 81 preterm infants completed this study. The content of salivary sIgA in observation group (42 cases) on 7 day after birth were significantly higher than those on the 2 hour after birth [15.4 (0.6, 106.7) μg/ml vs. 0.6 (0.0, 5.3) μg/ml] ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the sIgA levels in the saliva of the control group (39 cases) at the 7 postnatal day and 2 hour after birth [0.0 (0.0, 1.4) μg/ml vs. 0.0 (0.0, 5.2) μg/ml] ( P>0.05). The content of salivary sIgA in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group on the 7 day after birth, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The salivary sIgA levels in the observation group were negatively correlated with the starting time of oropharyngeal administration of colostrum ( r=-0.330, P<0.05), and positively correlated with the total number of oropharyngeal administration of colostrum ( r=0.388, P<0.05). Conclusions:Oropharyngeal colostrum administration can improve the levels of salivary sIgA of extremely/very low birth weight preterm infants fed by gastric tube.

Objective:
To investigate the correlation of early incubator temperature fluctuation on intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very/extremely-low birth weight infants (E/VLBW).
Methods:
From July 2015 to September 2016, 270 patients of hospitalized E/VLBW were included in this study. Temperature changes including incubator temperature and abdominal temperature within 72 hours after admission and routine clinical data were collected,the E/VLBW were divided into IVH group and non-IVH group, as well as the occurrence and grading of IVH. Chi-square test, t test and nonparametric test and logistic regression analysis were used to explore the effect of early incubator temperature fluctuations in E/VLBW on IVH.
Results:
Of the 270 V/ELBW studied, the incidence of IVH was 24.4% (66/270) , severe IVH(grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ) was 5.2% (14/270) . Univariate analysis showed that in addition to common IVH risk factors such as gestational age, body weight, 1/5 min Apgar score, sex, delivery, hyperglycemia, prenatal steroid and mechanical ventilation, fluctuations of body temperature and incubator temperature were relevant for IVH in E/VLBW (
