Objective:To explore the types of venous access, indwelling time and the correlation with catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) of very and extremely low birth weight infants (VLBW & ELBW) in NICU.Methods:The self-designed venous access data collection form was used to collect the venous access data of VLBW & ELBW infants who were admitted to NICU of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University from January to December 2019. SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis, description and binary Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 218 cases were collected, including 9 cases of peripheral intravenous (PIV), 30 cases of PIV+ umbilical vein catheter (UVC), 43 cases of PIV+PICC, 136 cases of PIV+UVC+PICC. The average indwelling time of UVC was 6 days, the average indwelling time of PICC was 22 days. There were 23 cases (10.55%) got CRBSI and 195 cases (89.45%) without CRBSI. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that birth weight ( OR=1.003, 95% CI 1.000-1.006, P<0.05) and combination form of venous access ( OR=0.139, 95% CI 0.023-0.834, P<0.05) of VLBW & ELBW infants were associated with CRBSI. Conclusions:In NICU, PIV, UVC and PICC are the three main ways to indwell venous access for VLBW & ELBW infants. The occurrence of CRBSI is closely related to the type and combination of indwelling venous access.

Objective:To describe the current status and efficacy of additional acarbose combined with insulin therapy in adult patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) .Methods:Adult T1DM patients with acarbose combined with insulin (acarbose group) or insulin alone (insulin group), age≥18 years and disease course≥1 year, who were registered in the T1DM Translational Medicine Research Project of Guangdong Province from June 2011 to December 2014 were enrolled in the study. The hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c), body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), insulin dosage and hypoglycemia of acarbose group and insulin group after 1 year were compared. Results:A total of 717 adult patients with T1DM were included (62 cases in acarbose group and 655 cases in insulin group). At the time of enrollment, the onset age of acarbose group was higher than that of insulin group [(31.1±12.3)years vs (27.4±12.4)years, P=0.019]; There were no significant differences in gender, age, course of disease, body weight, BMI, WHR, proportion of carbohydrate heat ≥50%, proportion of exercise time ≥150 min per week, HbA 1c, dosage of insulin, occurence of hypoglycemia and proportion of patients with dyslipidemia between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). After 1 year of follow-up, the HbA 1c in acarbose and insulin group decreased from baseline ( P=0.014, P<0.001), the body weight and BMI increased from baseline (all P<0.05), but WHR, insulin dosage and hypoglycemia occurrence were not statistically significant between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 1 year of follow-up, there were no significant difference in changes of HbA 1c, body weight, BMI, WHR, insulin dosage and hypoglycemia occurrence in acarbose group compared with insulin group from baseline (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In the clinical practice of T1DM treatment, acarbose is used more frequently in patients with a slightly older age of onset. Treatment of T1DM with insulin combined with acarbose did not increase the incidence of hypoglycemia, and no benefit was observed in improving HbA 1c, maintaining body weight, and reducing insulin use.

A young female patient with acne and elevated testosterone level underwent plasma steroid hormones testing and found a significant increase in aldosterone. We excluded testing interference and verified the absence of hypertension, hypokalemia, and adrenal occupancy, as well as primary and secondary hyperaldosteronism. During follow-up, a temporal correlation was found between aldosterone levels and the use of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol tablets. It was observed that the combination of drospirenone and ethinylestradiol could lead to the increase of aldosterone level and the concentration ratio of aldosterone to direct renin through different mechanisms. Drospirenone exerts an antagonistic effect on mineralocorticoid receptor to prevent the development of hypertension or hypokalemia. In clinical practice, it is necessary to pay attention to the effect of this drug on screening markers for primary aldosteronism. In the laboratory examination, when female patients with no symptoms of hypertension and hypokalemia but with elevated aldosterone levels are encountered, it can be verified whether they have a history of use of compound estrogen-progestin such as drospirenone and ethinylestradiol tablets, and appropriate tips are provided in the report.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of cerebral palsy(CP)in children aged 1-6 years in China,including the incidence,prevalence,type of CP,etiology,prevention and rehabilitation status. Methods The survey was carried out by standard questionnaires,multi-center collaboration,stratified-cluster ran-dom sampling method.The surveyed adopted the following principles:streets in the city and villages in the rural areas, and the number of the urban and rural children was the same,and the proportion of children in each age group was balanced.The investigation areas included provinces and autonomous regions,including Heilongjiang,Beijing,Henan, Shandong,Shanxi,Shaanxi,Anhui,Hunan,Guangxi,Guangdong,Chongqing and Qinghai,and 323 858 children were in-vestigated.Results The incidence of CP was 2.48‰(155/62 591 cases),and the prevalence was 2.46‰(797/323 858 cases)(1-6 years old).The prevalence varied in different regions,in which the highest prevalence was 5. 40‰(54/9 998 cases)in Qinghai province,and the lowest prevalence was 1.04‰(47/45 133 cases)in Shandong province.The prevalence of the males(2.64‰,461/174 391 cases)was higher than that of the females(2.25‰, 336/149 467 cases),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The types of CP were spastic type (58.85%,469/797 cases),mixed type(13.17%,105/797 cases),dyskinetic(9.79%,78/797 cases),hypotonic (8.28%,66/797 cases),ataxia(6.25%,52/797 cases)and rigid(3.39%,27/797 cases)respectively in 797 CP children.The first three risk factors for CP were long -term exposure to harmful physical factors during pregnancy, whether there were birth defects among the three generations of relatives of the children,such as children's peers, parents or grandparents,whether there were birth defects among the children's peers,parents or grandparents,and neonatal jaundice or persistent jaundice.Among 797 CP children,79.67% of the children with CP were timely detected and treated in the local hospitals,while the other 19.93% of them were not timely treated.The places which could give them timely detection and early diagnosis and treatment were general hospitals(42.97%),Maternity and Infant Hospitals (27.03%)and Children's Hospitals(20.31%). The main rehabilitation methods for 797 children with CP were 34.58% in the hospitals or rehabilitation centers,31.61% in the communities(including at home),33.80% mainly in the medical institution,and in the communities they could also receive partially rehabilitation services. Conclusions The prevalence of CP in China is coincident with international levels.The prevalence rate of CP in males is higher than that in females.The types of CP distribution are accorded with international distribution characteristics.There were still some children with CP who could not receive timely detection and treatment.Rehabilitation at the medical institutions is the chief way and proper rehabilitation guidance should be carried out in the communities.

【Objective】 To analyze the risk factors for intraoperative massive red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD), in order to develop a risk-prediction model and validate its predictive effect. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 233 patients with TAAD admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to June 2021 (modeling set) were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into routine transfusion group (n=128, RBC≤8 U) and massive transfusion group (n=105, RBC>8 U). Risk factors for intraoperative massive RBC transfusion in TAAD patients were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression and a risk prediction model was developed. Calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the accuracy and discrimination of the model. In addition, 61 TAAD patients admitted to our hospital from July 2021 to May 2022 (validation set) were used for external validation. 【Results】 The rate of intraoperative massive RBC transfusion in 233 TAAD patients was 45.06% (95% CI: 38.59%-51.69%). Logistic analysis showed that women, age >50 years, preoperative Hb≤131.50 g/L, intraoperative bleeding >720 mL, and CPB time >155 min were independent risk factors for massive intraoperative RBC transfusion (P<0.05). The intraoperative risk prediction model formula for massive RBC infusion was: -4.427+ 0.925×gender+ 1.461×age+ 2.081×preoperative Hb+ 1.573×bleeding volume+ 2.823×CPB time. The area under the ROC curve of the modeling set and validation set were 0.904 (95% CI: 0.865-0.943) vs 0.868 (95%CI: 0.779-0.958), and the slopes of the calibration curves all converged to 1, indicating that the model predicted the risk of intraoperative massive RBC infusion in TAAD patients in good consistency with the actual risk of massive infusion. The decision curve shows that the model exhibits a positive net benefit with a threshold probability of 0.15-0.67 and has a high clinical application value. 【Conclusion】 The prediction model constructed based on the risk factors of intraoperative massive RBC infusion in TAAD patients can effectively predict the risk of intraoperative massive RBC infusion with high clinical predictive efficacy.

【Objective】 To retrospectively analyze the indexes of autologous blood transfusion during heart valve replacement, in order to provide reference for allogeneic blood transfusion during heart valve replacement surgery under direct vision. 【Methods】 The data of 180 patients who underwent heart valve replacement in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into allogeneic and non-allogeneic blood transfusion group based on whether allogeneic blood was transfused during the operation, and the general data and 24 hours pre- and post-operative clinical examination indexes were compared. 【Results】 Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.110, 95% CI: 1.058-1.165, P<0.05) and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=1.062, 95% CI: 1.038-1.086, P<0.05) were risk factors for allogeneic blood transfusion, and preoperative Hb content (OR=0.910, 95%CI: 0.868-0.953, P<0.05) was a protective factor. The RBC count(4.16±0.73 vs 4.52±0.71)×10¹²/L and Hb(120.94±17.97 vs 136.57±19.33) g/L at 24 hours preoperative in the allogeneic transfusion group were lower than those in the non-allogeneic transfusion group, and the RBC(3.51±0.53 vs 4.13±0.78)×10¹²/L, Hb(114.15±11.68 vs 124.79±14.96)g/L and platelet count(124.28±32.11 vs 148.29±26.62)×10⁹/L at 24 hours postoperative were significantly lower than those in the non-allogeneic transfusion group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Age and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time are the risk factors for autologous and allogeneic blood transfusion during heart valve replacement under direct vision, and the preoperative Hb content is a protective factor. It is necessary to evaluate the symptomatic treatment of patients before operation and reduce allogeneic blood transfusion.

This article focuses on a case study of sitosterolemia in a child who initially presented with hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive lipid metabolism disorder, difficult to diagnose due to its non-typical clinical manifestations. The 8-year-old patient was initially misdiagnosed with pyruvate kinase deficiency. Comprehensive biochemical and molecular biology analyses, including gene sequencing, eventually led to the correct diagnosis of sitosterolemia. This case highlights the complexity and diagnostic challenges of sitosterolemia, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and accurate diagnosis in patients presenting with similar symptoms.

Objective:To explore the correlation between the length of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) through upper and lower extremities of premature infants and their body parameters, and to deduce the formula of the different length of PICC of premature infants, so as to improve the accuracy of the tip of PICC in premature infants.Methods:This study was a retrospective case series study.From January 2016 to September 2021, 758 premature infants with PICC hospitalized in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Shanghai Children's Hospital were selected retrospectively by convenience sampling. We recorded the sex, gestational age, catheterization age, catheterization vessel location, birth length, length on the day of catheterization, birth weight and weight on the day of catheterization of premature infants. Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression were used to find the most relevant body parameters, and formula fitting was carried out to derive the optimal length of PICC for premature infants.Results:In 652 premature infants (86.02%, 652/758) , the PICC was placed in the lower limb vein, and the proportion of great saphenous vein was the highest, accounting for 41.42% (314/758) . Simple linear regression showed that the weight and length had the highest correlation with the optimal length of PICC in the superficial veins of the upper and lower extremities. The formula for the length of PICC with the puncture points of median vein, basilic vein, axillary vein, great saphenous vein, small saphenous vein, popliteal vein and femoral vein was derived.Conclusions:The formula derived from the weight and length of premature infants can provide a reference for clinical measurement of PICC length of premature infants.
