Umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) is associated with many complications, such as displacement of the catheter, infection, exudation, thrombosis, pericardial effusion/pleural effusion, of which central line-associated bloodstream infections has been of long-standing interest. There is currently no optimal method for estimating the depth of UVC insertion. Ultrasound examination can be used to evaluate the position of the end of the tube after catheterization to avoid organ damage and complications caused by displacement and dislocation. However, whilst it is known that there is a correlation between the duration of UVC and central line-associated bloodstream infection, a consensus is yet to be reached regarding the optimal duration of UVC retention. More, high quality evidence through multi-center, prospective randomized controlled study is needed.

This article reported a case of fetal testicular torsion diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound. Ultrasound examination at 38 weeks of gestation showed a slightly enhanced echo in the left testicle of the fetus and fluid accumulation within the testicular sheath cavity and between the sheath and fascia, presenting a 'double-ring' sign. An emergency cesarean section was performed considering the risk of acute fetal testicular torsion. Postnatal ultrasound images revealed abnormalities in the left testicle of the neonate and peripheral effusion with a 'double-ring' echo. The patient was considered to have congenital testicular torsion (with a high possibility of extravaginal type) and received an emergency treatment of left testicular torsion reduction combined with testicular fixation surgery and right testicular fixation surgery. Six months after surgery, reexamination by ultrasound showed the testicles of the newborn were normal.

Objective:To explore the clinical utility of tongue pressure resistance feedback training in the treatment of post-stroke dysphagia.Methods:Twenty stroke survivors with dysphagia were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Both groups were given conventional swallowing rehabilitation training, while the experimental group was additionally provided with tongue pressure resistance feedback training. Before and after the treatment, MBSImp analysis and the Rosenbek penetration aspiration scale were used to quantify the control of the tongue, food delivery, oral residue, laryngeal elevation, hyoid bone movement, epiglottis turnover, larynx closure, vestibular larynx closure, pharyngal peristalsis and contraction, opening of the upper esophageal sphincter UES, contraction of the base of the tongue, pharyngeal residue and aspiration.Results:No significant differences were observed between the two groups before the intervention. Afterward the average pharyngeal period and aspiration score of the experimental group had decreased significantly compared with the control group′s values.Conclusions:Tongue pressure resistance feedback training is effective in improving pharyngeal swallowing and reducing the risk of aspiration after swallowing.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) by using different methods to estimate the insertion depth.Methods:PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library, CBM (SinoMed), CNKI, VIP Database, Wanfang Database and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database were electronically searched for literature on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different methods for estimating the insertion depth of UVC. The search period was from the establishment date of the above databases to April 15th, 2022. If 2 or more studies were available for each pairwise comparison, a meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.3 software. However, if only 1 study was included for each pairwise comparison, SPSS 26.0 statistical software is used for statistical analysis using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 9 RCTs were included in the final meta-analysis, with a total of 1 281 infants, using 6 methods for estimating the depth of UVC. Compared with the Shukla formula, the Dunn method showed a statistically significant improvement in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt ( RR=1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.47, P=0.002). When comparing the Dunn method with the revised Shukla formula, the difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt was statistically significant (21.4% vs. 33.5%, χ2=7.24, P=0.007). There was no statistically significant difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt between the Dunn method and the formula based on BW, the JSS formula and the revised Shukla formula, and the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of UVC complications between the Dunn method and the Shukla formula, and between the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. Conclusions:Comparing to Shukla formula, Dunn method has a higher correct place rate at the first attempt. The incidence of complications is similar between the different pairwise comparison methods.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of clinically isolated fungal strains and their resistance to common antifungal drugs in Shandong province.Methods:Through the Shandong Children’s Bacterial & Fungal Drug Resistance Surveillance and Research Collaborative Network, a total of 1 030 fungi were collected in 46 hospitals of Shandong province from January 1 to December 31, 2018. The source and type of strains were analyzed, and antifungal drug sensitivity tests were performed by using the micro-dilution method. Whonet 5.6 and SPSS 22.0 were applied to analyze the data.Results:The overall main strains were Candida albicans (38.74%, 399/1 030), Candida tropicalis (16.99%, 175/1 030) and Candida parapsilosis (16.41%, 169/1 030); the main fungi strains in child patients were C. albicans (52.50%, 63/120), C. parapsilosis (12.50%, 15/120) and C. tropicalis (9.17%, 11/120); the main fungi strains in adult patients were C. albicans (36.37%, 331/910), C. tropicalis (17.03%, 155/910) and C. parapsilosis (15.27%, 139/910). The isolation rate of main Candida strains from January to March and August to December was much higher than that of other months. The drug resistance rates of C. albicans to fluconazole and voriconazole were 7.14% and 7.43%, respectively, and the drug resistance rates to itraconazole were 50.44%. The resistance rates of C. tropicalis to fluconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole were 29.05%, 23.29% and 48.65%, respectively. The sensitivity rates of C. parapsilosi to fluconazole, voriconazole and itraconazole were 93.06%, 93.75% and 94.44%, respectively. Candida glabrata showed a dose-dependent sensitivity rate of 2.33% to fluconazole. Analysis of 244 blood fungi strains showed that non-candida albicans bacteremia accounted for 70.08%. In the pathogen spectrum covering 92.22%, fluconazole was sensitive to 64.65% of the pathogens, voriconazole was 68.88%, and amphotericin B was 88.75%. After quantification, the effective rates of fluconazole, voriconazole and amphotericin B in the clinical treatment of fungal bacteremia were 70.10%, 74.69% and 96.23%, respectively. Among them, the sensitivity rate of voriconazole to C. tropicalis was lower than that of fluconazole. Conclusions:Candida is the main clinical fungus isolates in hospitals of Shandong province. The resistance rate of C. tropicalis to azole antifungal drugs is on the rise, and the sensitivity of other Candida species to clinically used antifungal drugs is basically stable.

Objective:To study the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activity and its clinical characteristics in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS). Methods:From January 2016 to August 2017, patients with HFRS who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were routinely tested by EBV serology, and were divided into two groups according to their presence or absence of EBV infection, namely EBV active group and non-EBV active group. The clinical data between the two groups were compared and analyzed by SPSS 18.0.Results:A total of 188 HFRS patients were enrolled, including 73 cases in EBV active group and 115 cases in non-EBV active group. The EBV active rate of HFRS patients was 38.83% (73/188). The incidences of lumbago [57.53% (42/73) vs 42.61% (49/115)], abdominal pain [42.47% (31/73) vs 20.00% (23/115)], skin and mucosa congestion [57.53% (42/73) vs 39.13% (45/115)], and conjunctiva edema [50.68% (37/73) vs 28.70% (33/115)] in EBV active group were significantly higher than those in non-EBV active group (χ 2 = 3.983, 11.008, 6.083, 9.239, P < 0.05). There were 10, 7 and 43 patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) stage 1, 2 and 3 in EBV active group and 5, 13 and 53 patients in non-EBV active group. Degree of AKI in EBV active group was higher than that in non-EBV active group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 12.615, P < 0.05). In EBV active group, the proportion of patients whose renal function recovery over 15 days [23.29% (17/73)] and white blood cell count [11.26 (3.39 ~ 54.23) × 10 9/L] were significantly higher than those in non-EBV active group [6.96% (8/115), 10.03 (2.91 ~ 66.99) × 10 9/L], and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 10.330, Z = - 2.003, P < 0.05). Conclusion:HFRS patients may cause latent EBV activity, complicate their clinical features, cause severe renal damage and prolong the recovery time of renal function.

Objective:To analyze the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of neonates with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the extremities and torso.Methods:The clinical diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of seven neonates with DVT of the extremities and torso admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 2016 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Paired t test and paired rank sum test were used to compare the difference of coagulation indexes before and after the anticoagulant therapy. Results:Among the seven neonates with DVT of the extremities and torso, six were male and five were term infants, with the gestational age of (37.9±2.5) weeks and birth weight of (2 989±619) g. The median age at admission was 2.0 d and the age at diagnosis was 3.0 d. Except for one case of left common femoral vein thrombosis with limb swelling on the affected side, the other cases were all found with DVT by routine abdominal ultrasound examination after admission. Six cases received heparin treatment with the median duration of 8.5 d (1.8-28.8 d), including four cases of thrombosis in the portal venous, one in the postcava and renal venous, and one in the left common femoral vein. Among the six cases, the thrombus disappeared in five cases, which were confirmed by vascular ultrasound examination during follow-up, and in another case, the thrombus was shrinked significantly but remained. After the treatment, the platelet count [(464.5±128.9)×10 9/L vs (142.5±104.2)×10 9/L, t=-5.019, P=0.004] and antithrombin-Ⅲ level [(67.08±28.87)% vs (46.05±12.60)%, Z=-2.201, P=0.028] were increased and the D-dimers was decreased [0.392 mg/L(0.250-0.884 mg/L) vs 2.511 mg/L(0.755-14.033 mg/L), Z=-2.201, P=0.028] with no reports of heparin-related side-effect. One case with advanced postcaval thrombosis did not receive heparin anticoagulant therapy, but the thrombosis disappeared 270 d after diagnosis during follow-up. Conclusions:DVT of the extremities and torso may have no specific symptoms during the neonatal period and the overall prognosis is good. Heparin anticoagulant therapy is recommended until thrombosis disappears for patients with large thrombosis or significantly high level of D-dimer. The course of heparin treatment varies greatly among individuals, and close monitoring is required.
