Objective:To study the safety and feasibility of early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia guided by intestinal ultrasound in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, neonates with HIE who received therapeutic hypothermia in the neonatology department of our hospital were retrospectively selected. They were assigned into the ultrasound-guided observation group (admitted from May 2020 to December 2021) and the control group (admitted from January 2019 to April 2020). In the ultrasound-guided observation group, intestinal ultrasound was performed during therapeutic hypothermia. Based on clinical manifestations and ultrasound results, a small amount of enteral feeding [20 ml/(kg·d)] was initiated and gradually increased to total enteral feeding after rewarming. In the control group, 5 ml (once every 3 h) of glucose and sodium chloride solution was given during 72 h of therapeutic hypothermia. After rewarming, enteral feeding was started and gradually increased to total enteral feeding without intestinal ultrasound. The time to start enteral feeding, the time to achieve total enteral feeding, the incidences of feeding intolerance, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and late-onset sepsis were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 17 cases were in the ultrasound-guided observation group and 18 cases in the control group. The median time to start enteral feeding and to achieve total enteral feeding in the ultrasound-guided observation group were earlier than the control group [36.0 (33.5, 39.0) h vs. 77.0 (74.0, 79.3) h, 6.0 (5.5, 6.5) d vs. 8.0 (7.0, 9.0) d, P<0.001]. No significant difference existed in the incidence of feeding intolerance between the two groups. Neither groups had NEC or late-onset sepsis. Conclusions:Early enteral feeding during therapeutic hypothermia in neonates with HIE is safe and feasible. Intestinal ultrasound helps implementing feeding plan and achieving early total enteral feeding.

Objective:To explore the teaching effect of Evidence-based Nursing course for undergraduate nursing students.Methods:From July to August 2020, 80 undergraduate nursing students from Xiamen University in 2017 and 2018 were selected as research objects by convenience sampling. Among the students, nursing undergraduates in 2017 were in the control group ( n=38) , and nursing undergraduates in 2018 who chose this course were in the test group ( n=42) . The Chinese version of the Evidence-Based Practice Knowledge, Attitude, Behavior Questionnaire and the Chinese version of the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI) were used to compare the evidence-based practice ability and critical thinking ability of the two groups of undergraduates. Results:The scores and total scores of three dimensions of evidence-based practice behavior, attitude and knowledge in the test group were higher than those in the control group, and the score of critical thinking ability of the test group was higher than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Setting up Evidence-based Nursing course for undergraduate nursing students can effectively improve students' knowledge, attitude and behavior and critical thinking ability of evidence-based nursing, and it is also conducive to the unification of clinical practice and classroom environment, promoting the development of nursing discipline and nursing cause in China.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) on the mortality and early complications of premature infants.
Methods:
The general clinical data of preterm infants with gestational age 24-36+ 6 weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.According to the severity of HDCP, the infants were divided into 4 groups: HDCP group, preeclampsia group, eclampsia group and non HDCP group, the mortality and major complications of preterm infants were compared, and the influencing factors were analyzed.
Results:
The mortality rate of preterm in the HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (
