Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2021;27(13):1726-1733
Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of phlebitis in hospitalized children in China, so as to provide an evidence for the prevention of phlebitis in children.Methods:From April to May 2019, convenience sampling was used to select 10 094 hospitalized children from 100 hospitals in 27 provincial units nationwide as the research object. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the National Questionnaire on Pediatric Safe Infusion Nursing-Patient Version designed by the National Intravenous Infusion Improvement Project Team. χ 2 test and Logistic regression were used to analyze the related factors of phlebitis. 10 024 valid questionnaires were recovered, the effective recovery rate was 99.3%. Results:The incidence of phlebitis in hospitalized children was 0.28% (28/10 024) . Logistic regression results showed that, connection to the connector for infusion, and the accumulation of blood and exudate in the dressing were the influencing factors for the occurrence of phlebitis in hospitalized children ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of phlebitis in hospitalized children in China is relatively low. Clinical nurses should avoid infusion connected to a connector, and pay attention to the influencing factors such as blood leakage in the dressing, and take active prevention and control measures.

Objective To analyze the serotypes of enteroviruses(EVs) isolated from patients with influenza-like illness in Beijing in 2017. Methods Oropharyngeal swab specimens were collected from pa-tients with influenza-like illness in eight districts of Beijing from July 2017 to October 2017. EVs were detec-ted by real-time PCR. Specific primers were synthesized and used to amplify the VP1 fragments of EVs. PCR products were sequenced and the results were compared with the reference sequences by using Basic Lo-cal Alignment Search Tool(BLAST) to identify the serotypes of isolated EVs. Results A total of 666 spec-imens were collected and 91 (13.66%) were positive for EVs. VP1 sequences of 66 EVs were successfully amplified and BLAST analysis revealed that these strains belonged to 14 serotypes,including seven serotypes of EV-A species,six serotypes of EV-B species and one serotype of Rhinovirus species. The predominant se-rotypes were CVA2 and CVA6. Eight out of 14 CVA6 strains that were collected in Shunyi District shared high homology. All seven CVB5 strains were collected in Shijingshan District and grouped into one cluster. Conclusion EVs causing influenza-like illness in Beijing in 2017 belonged to 14 serotypes and CVA2 and CVA6 were the predominant serotypes.

OBJECTIVES:
One of the underlying mechanisms of aging is chronic inflammation, which has been closely associated with daily diet. Phenotypic age (PhenoAge) has been used as an index to track the aging process before diseases show clinical symptoms. The present study aimed to explore the association between the dietary inflammatory index (DII) and PhenoAge.
METHODS:
In total, 9,275 adults aged 20 years old and over in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were involved in this study. Dietary patterns were classified as pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory according to the DII. PhenoAge was regarded as a continuous variable, and linear regression was used to explore its association with dietary inflammation. Stratified analyses by sex, age, race, physical exercise, smoking status, drinking status, and body mass index were used to test the sensitivity of these associations.
RESULTS:
The median value of PhenoAge was 38.60 years and 39.76 years for the participants with anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory diets, respectively. A pro-inflammatory diet was positively associated with PhenoAge (β=0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.31 to 1.14), compared with participants who had an anti-inflammatory diet. There was an interaction between dietary inflammation and age for PhenoAge (pinteraction<0.001). The strength of the association between a pro-inflammatory diet and PhenoAge was stronger as age increased.
CONCLUSIONS
A pro-inflammatory diet was associated with a higher PhenoAge, and the association was strongest in the elderly. We recommended reducing dietary inflammation to delay phenotypic aging, especially for the elderly.
