Objective:To analyze the incidence of complications of central venous catheterization and risk factors in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Xi'an Children 's Hospital.Methods:The clinical data of 310 children who underwent central venous catheterization in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Xi 'an Children's Hospital from June 2020 to February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of complications of central venous catheterization and risk factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 334 central venous catheters were used in 310 chidren. Among the 310 children who underwent central venous catheterization, 102 children (30.54%) had complications related to central venous catheterization. The complications related to central venous catheterization included catheter infection (13.17%), catheter malposition (8.38%), exudation at the puncture site (4.79%), catheter occlusion (2.99%), accidental removal (0.60%), and central venous thrombosis (0.60%). Central venous catheters were removed in 82 children (24.55%) because of complications. There was a significant difference in the incidence of central venous thrombosis among three surgical approaches: femoral vein, internal jugular vein, and subclavian vein ( χ2 = 7.06, P = 0.029). Longer time for catheterization resulted in a higher incidence of complications, including catheter-related infection ( χ2 = 7.17, P = 0.028), puncture point exudation and obstruction ( χ2 = 8.59, P = 0.014), central venous thrombosis ( χ2 = 6.78, P = 0.034). Regression analysis showed that suture shedding and bleeding at the insertion sites were the main risk factors for catheter-related complications (suture shedding OR = 4.85, P = 0.001; bleeding at the insertion sites OR = 1.83, P = 0.008). Conclusion:The most common complications of central venous catheterization in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Xi'an Children's Hospital include catheter-related infection, catheter malposition, and puncture site exudation. Risk factors for complications during catheter retention include suture shedding and bleeding at the insertion sites.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of chrysophanol on the activa tion of microglia and the expression of inflammatory factors in cerebral ischemia model rats. METHODS :SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group , model group and chrysophanol high ,medium,low dose groups [7.88,3.94,1.97 mg/(kg·d)],with 20 rats in each group (the number was complemented in cases of death or unsuccessful modeling during modeling process ). Except for sham operation group , middle cerebral artery occlusion model was established in other groups by improved thread method. After 2 hours of ischemia , sham operation group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with 1 mL normal saline ,and each administration group was intraperitoneally injected with 1 mL corresponding drug ,once a day ,for 7 consecutive days. After last medication ,the score of neurological impairment was recorded ;cerebral infarction of rats was observed by TTC staining ,and the percentage of cerebral infarction area was calculated. The expression of Iba- 1 positive cells in ischemic penumbra of rats was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The expression of Notch- 1,TNF-α and ICAM-1 in the ischemic penumbra of rats were detected by Western blotting assay. RESULTS :In sham operation group ,there was no infarction area in the brain tissue ,and the Iba- 1 positive cells in the ischemic penumbra were few and branched. Compared with sham operation group ,the infarction area of cerebral tissue in rats was obvious in model group ; the 052)number of Iba- 1 positive cells in ischemic penumbra were 〔ZQ2017003〕) increased significantly ,and they were in amoeba or round shape;the neurological impairment score ,the percentage of cerebral infarction area , relative expression of Notch- 1, TNF-α and ICAM-1 protein in ischemic penumbra were increased significantly (P<0.05). Compared with m odel rats ,the infarction area of cerebral tissue in each dose group of chrysophanol was reduced to different extent ;the number of Iba- 1 positive cells in ischemic penumbra was decreased ;neurological impairment score ,the percentage of cerebral infarction area ,relative expression of Notch- 1,TNF-α and ICAM-1 protein were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :Chrysophanol has a certain protective effect on the brain tissue of cerebral ischemia model rats ,and can relieve the nerve injury. Its mechanism may be associated with inhibiting the activation of microglia and expression of inflammatory factors mediated by Notch pathway.
