Acute kidney injury ( AKI) in newborns is one of neonatal critical disease,the incidence of AKI is 23%and the mortality is 25%~50%in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).AKI in newborns is ab-normal renal function due to many various unfavorable factors,such as neonatal asphyxia,low blood volume, shock,hypoxia,hemolysis,low temperature,the clinical manifestations are oliguria or anuria,electrolyte disturb-ance,acid-base imbalance, high concentrations of metabolites in plasma and renal excretion ( urea, creatinine etc.) .At present,there are no effective prevention measures.In recent years,with the progress of blood purifica-tion technology,continuous blood purification ( CBP) has been used from AKI in children to AKI in newborns. Because of the neonatal hemodynamic instability and blood characteristics of small capacity, the application of CBP in the neonatal AKI still faces many problems.The paper summarizes high risk factors and diagnostic crite-ria of AKI in newborns,related problems of neonatal CBP treatment.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of bedside continuous blood purification (CBP) in the treatment of neonatal multiple organ failure (MOF).Methods Totally 6 newborn infants of MOF were hospitalized in department of neonatology in our hospital from June 2011 to June 2013.These 6 cases of clinical data were retrospectively analyzed,6 neonates were treated with CBP combined with conventional treatment.The model for CBP was continuous veno-venous hemodialysis filtration (CVVHDF),blood flow velocity was 3 to 5 ml/(kg· min),replacement fluid dose was 20 to 30 ml/(kg· h),dialysis fluid dose was 15 to 25 rnl/(min· m2).The clinical outcome measures included,blood pressure,blood pH,K+,Na+,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine,urine volume,PaO2/FiO2 and epinephrine intravenous dose,respectively before CBP treatment,6 h,12 h,24 h,48 h after CBP treatment and the end of CBP treatment.The efficacy of CBP treatment was evaluated in neonatal MOF.Results Gestational age of 6 neonates with MOF was 33 to 41 weeks,2 to 19 days old,2.25 to 3.36 kg birth weight.Primary disease was 4 cases of neonatal septicemia(1 case with congenital hereditary metabolic disease),2 cases of severe neonatal asphyxia.All 6 cases of venous catheter were smoothly done.CBP treatment persisted for 49 to 106 hours.Compared with before CVVHDF treatment,blood K+,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine significantly decreased at 12 h after CVVHDF treatment [(5.32 ± 1.84) mmol/L vs.(9.81 ±3.61) mmol/L,(9.0 ±3.4) mmol/L vs.(12.8 ±6.1) mmol/L,(99 ± 16) μmol/L vs.(176 ±25) μmol/L,P ＜0.05],and reached the normal range at 24 h after treatment,urine volume significantly increased at 24 h after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).PaO2/FiO2 reached 200 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) at 6 h after treatment and more than 300 mmHg at 24 h after treatment(P ＜0.05).Fifty percent of epinephrine intravenous dose were down-regulation at 12 h after treatment and stopped using epinephrine at 48 h after treatment.CBP treatment of 6 cases showed effective.Conclusion Application of bedside CBP treatment in neonatal MOF is safe,can effectively help neonates with MOF to skip over renal failure stage.

Objective To observe the effect of gastrectomy for gastric cancer on blood glucose in patients complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus by using different operation strategies.Methods The retrospective analysis was carried out of 68 cases who undergone radical surgery for gastric cancer and complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.These patients were divided into 3 groups by different kinds of digestive tract reconstruction,Billroth Ⅰ (n =26),Billroth Ⅱ (n =22) and Roux-en-Y (n =20).The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected before and after operation one week,one month and six months in three groups.Results Comparing to the level before operation,the level of FBG after operation showed a descent in group B and group C((10.03 ±5.12) vs.(13.56 ±3.36) mmol/L; (8.44 ±5.21) vs.(13.56 ±3.36) mmol/L;(10.61 ±3.16) vs.(12.84 ±3.36) and(7.68 ±4.88) vs.(12.84 ±3.36) mmol/L) which was better than group A((10.03 ±5.12)vs.(11.12 ±6.32),(8.44 ±5.21) vs.(11.12 ±6.32) mmol/L;(10.61 ±3.16) vs.(11.12 ±6.32) mmol/L),(7.68 ±4.88) vs.(11.12 ±6.32) mmol/L;P＜0.05,but there was no significantly difference between B and group C (P ＞ 0.05).The 3 groups of patients,with B,C groups of patients with diabetes improved obviously,of which nearly 50％ of patients cured,normal blood sugar control,the other part with the exception of a few effective,degradation of diabetes drug treatment,and operation effect was significant.Conclusion It is effective to control the blood glucose of gastric cancer patients complicated with type 2 diabetes with Billroth II or Roux-en-Y gastrectomy.There is a correlation between postoperative blood glucose change and different gastrojejunal anastomosis.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of mild hypothermia (MH) in treating the infants with moderate-to-severe neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE),and to make a follow-up of the nerve motor development of the infants at 18 months old after discharge.Methods Totally 61 neonates with moderate-to-severe HIE in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) from Jan.2007 to Dec.2013 were retrospectively analyzed.According to before and after MH therapeutic apparatus was used by NICU of Shanghai Children's Hospital,61 neonates of HIE were divided into 2 groups,the conventional treatment group(25 cases) and MH treatment group(36 cases).The patients in both groups were measured respectively by using the amplitude integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) before MH treatment and at 72 hours after M H treatment,by neonatal behavioral neurological assessment(NBNA) on the 28th day after birth,and by adopting Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 18 months old.The adverse reactions,serious disability cases and deaths of MH treatment were recorded.Results Compared with the conventional treatment group,aEEG recording before treatment showed no statistically significant differences in MH treatment group [maximum voltage:(22.4 ±3.1) μV vs(18.6 ±2.5) μV,maximum voltage:(8.2 ±2.6)μV vs(6.5 ±1.9) μV,t =1.264,0.852,all P ＞ 0.05].However,aEEG recording at 72 h after treatment showed statistically significant differences in MH treatment group [maximum voltage:(24.1 ± 3.2) μV vs (30.6 ± 2.8) μV,maximum voltage:(9.7 ± 3.4) μV vs (13.3 ± 2.2) μV,t =6.376,4.257,all P ＜ 0.05].Severe disability cases [24.0％ (6/25 cases) vs 5.6％ (2/36 cases),x2 =4.405,P ＜ 0.05] and deaths [16.0％ (4/25 cases) vs 0 (0/36 case),x2 =6.1 64,P ＜ 0.05] in MH treatment group were significantly decreased,and there was significantly difference in NBNA on the 28th day after birth[(35.9 ± 2.1) vs(39.1-± 1.6),t =3.361,P ＜ 0.05],and scales of neurobehavioral evaluation through follow-up of 18 months old [mental development index (MDI):(85.2 ± 10.7) vs (96.5-± 13.1),t =7.839,P ＜ 0.05].Very few neonates had apnea,coagulation dysfunction,arrhythmia and other adverse reactions in MH treatment course.Conclusions MH treating moderate-to-severe HIE is safe and effective.MH is effective in reducing death and major disabilities in neonates with moderate-to-severe HIE and without significant side effects.MH can obviously improve the development of nervous system disorders in 0-18 months infants,and can significantly improve these infants' Bayley developmental scale neurobehavioral scores.

Objective To explore the effect of macrolide antibiotics(erythromycin) on tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and interleukin(IL)-8 in hyperoxia-induced lung tissue of premature newborn rats,and to study the intervention effect of erythromycin on hyperoxia-induced lung injury.Methods One-day old preterm Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups by random number table method:air + sodium chloride group,air + erythromycin group,hyperoxia + sodium chloride group,hyperoxia + erythromycin group.Hyperoxia groups were continuously exposed to oxygen (oxygen ＞ 0.85) and air group in room air.After 1,7,14 days of exposure,the preterm rats of four groups were sacrificed,whole lung of these rats were isolated,the lung histological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,TNF-α and IL-8 in pulmonary tissue homogenate were detected by ELISA.Results The results showed that:(1) Compared with air + sodium chloride group,TNF-α and IL-8 expression in hyperoxia + sodium chloride group were significantly increased(P ＜ 0.05) after 1,7 days of exposure [1 d:TNF-α:(16.163 ± 0.574) ng/ml vs.(21.923 ±2.066) ng/ml,IL-8:(18.214 ±3.649) ng/ml vs.(23.546 ± 5.240) ng/ml ;7 d:TNF-α:(15.940 ±0.821) ng/ml vs.(19.688 ±0.764) ng/ml,IL-8:(18.541 ± 4.114) ng/ml vs.(24.255 ±4.692) ng/ml],in particular,TNF-α expression appeared to increase earlier,their expression became significantly weak in 14 days (P ＜ 0.05).(2) Compared with hyperoxia + sodium chloride group,TNF-α and IL-8 expression in hyperoxia +erythromycin group became significantly weak after 1,7,14 days of exposure(P ＜0.05) after the intervention of erythromycin [1 d:TNF-α:(21.923 ± 2.066) ng/ml vs.(18.903 ± 1.851) ng/ml,7 d:IL-8:(24.255 ±4.692) ng/ml vs.(23.508 ±3.543) ng/ml,14 d:TNF-α:(16.443 ±5.466) ng/ml vs.(14.453 ±0.963)ng/ml],but their expression became weaker in 14 days than that in 1,7 days.Conclusion The release of inflammatory mediators TNF-α and IL-8 induced by oxidation outbreak participates in the development of hyperoxia induced lung injury,erythromycin may regulate immune function,inhibits the levels of oxidant-mediated TNF-α and IL-8 induced by oxidation outbreak,and alleviate hyperoxia lung injury in premature rats.

Objective To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of non-immunologic hydrops fetalis (NIHF). Methods The clinical data of 10 cases of NIHF in neonatal intensive case unit during January 2011 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The related literatures were reviewed. Results In 10 cases of NIHF (6 males and 4 females). the gestational age were 32-42 weeks, and the birth weight was 2.25-3.95 kg. Among them, there were 3 cases of infectious diseases (cytomegalovirus, Streptococcus agalactiae, and parvovirus infection, one case each), 2 cases of fetal cardiovascular abnormalities, 2 cases of chromosomal abnormalities, 1 case of abnormal thoracic structures, 1 case of twin transfusion syndrome, and 1 case of etiology unknown of fetal hydrops. The clinical manifestations showed that there were 8 cases with 2 or more areas of edema (or hydrops), and only 2 cases with skin edema. Finally, 6 cases were cured and discharged, 2 cases were discharged by themself, and 2 cases died. Conclusions Prenatal ultrasound is a reliable method for the diagnosis of NIHF. Fetal edema in early pregnancy, especially with congenital malformations, is recommended for termination of pregnancy. After birth, NIHF should be diagnosed promptly so as to avoid or reduce severe complications.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of bedside continuous blood purification (CBP) in the treatment of critically ill neonates.Methods Totally ten critically ill neonates were hospitalized in Department of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Shanghai Children's Hospital from June 2011 to May 2015, and managed with CBP treatment.The indications of CBP therapy were multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) failed to conventional treatment or combined with acute renal failure (ARF).The model for CBP was continuous veno-venous hemofiltration dialysis (CVVH).The clinical outcomes included blood electrolytes, serum bio markers, urine output, hemodynamic indicators, dose of intravenous epinephrine before treatment, 6, 12, 24, 48 h after treatment and at the end of CBP.Complications of CBP were also observed.Statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and Dunnett-t test.Results The underlying problems of the ten newborns were septicemia (n=5), severe neonatal asphyxia (n=2), congenital hereditary metabolic disease (n=2) and traumatic asphyxia (n=l).The venous catheter was successfully inserted for all babies and CBP treatment continued for (86.7 ± 25.9) h averagely with obvious effect.Four of the ten cases were cured and discharged, and the rest six refused to treatment and died after due to irreversible injury of the nervous system although they had survived from the oliguric stage of ARF.The complications of CBP included thrombocytopenia (n=3), catheter blockage (n=2), hypotension (n=l).No hypothermia, thrombosis, bleeding or infection occurred.The mean blood pressure and partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood/fraction of inspiration oxygen (PaO2/ FiO2) of the ten cases 6 h after the beginning of treatment were higher than those before [(46.4 ± 7.5) vs (36.5 ±8.3) mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa;(210.0±62.0) vs (93.0±43.0) mmHg;t=2.647 and 6.378, both P ＜ 0.05].At the 12th hour since treatment start, the blood pH value was 7.4 ± 0.2, which was higher than that before treatment (6.9 ± 0.2, t=2.731, P ＜ 0.05), and kept in normal range.At the 24th hour, the serum levels of potassium, urea nitrogen and creatinine dropped to normal range compared to those before treatment [(4.8±2.9) vs (9.6± 3.6) mmol/L;(7.2±2.3) vs (13.6±6.3) mmol/L;(51.0± 12.0) vs (172.0±23.0) μ mol/L;t=4.571, 5.427 and 21.672, all P ＜ 0.05].Urine output increased from zero before the treatment to (0.7±0.3) ml/(kg · h) after 24 h (t=3.284, P ＜ 0.05).The maintaining dose of intravenous epinephrine decreased since 12 h after the beginning of treatment and was ceased at the 48th hour.Conclusion CBP is an effective and feasible treatment for critically ill neonates.

Objectives To explore the effect of erythromycin on glutathione hormone (GSH) and γ-glutamyl cysteine synthetase (γ-GCS) in premature newborn rats exposed to hyperoxia, to study the intervention effect of erythromycin on hype-roxia-induced lung injury. Methods One-day old preterm SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group, eryth-romycin group, hyperoxia group, erythromycin+hyperoxia group. Hyperoxia group and hyperoxia+erythromycin group were continuously exposed to oxygen (oxygen concentration>0.85), control group and erythromycin group were in room air. Via cau-dal vein, the preterm rats was injected with erythromycin in erythromycin group and hyperoxia+erythromycin group, sodium chloride in control group and hyperoxia group daily. After 1,7,14 day(s) of hyperoxia (or air ) exposure, the preterm SD rats of four groups were killed, whole lung of these rats were isolated and histological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, GSH andγ-GCS of pulmonary tissue homogenate were detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme linked im-munosorbent assay. Total lung RNA was extracted andγ-GCS mRNA was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain re-action. Results The results showed that:After 1 and 7 day(s) of exposure, the expression of GSH、γ-GCS andγ-GCS mRNA in four groups showed significant differences(P<0.05). Among them, GSH expression in erythromycin + hyperoxia group was higher than that in the other three groups in 1,7,14 day(s) of exposure with significant differences (P<0.05);GSH expression in erythromycin+hyperoxia group and hyperoxia group reached the peak after 7 days of exposure. The expression ofγ-GCS andγ-GCS mRNA in erythromycin+hyperoxia group and hyperoxia group were higher than the other two groups after 1and 7 day(s) of exposure, the expression ofγ-GCS mRNA in erythromycin+hyperoxia group were higher than that of hyperoxia group with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusions The expressions of GSH andγ-GCS in the lung of premature SD rats were abnor-mal by oxidation outbreak. Erythromycin may increase the activity ofγ-GCS, improve the anti-oxidation ability of GSH, and al-leviate hyperoxia mediated lung injury in premature rats.

Objective To explore the danger of lead exposure in newborns who accepted the blood stored in blood bank for blood change treatment.Methods The lead level of blood was examined before and after blood change treatment for 37 neonates with hyperbilirubinemia who accepted 53 cases blood stored in blood bank during Jun.to Dec.2006.The level of blood lead was measured by graphite stove atom absorb spectrum method.Results The average lead level of 53 cases blood stored in blood bank was 101.02 ?g/L,which had attained the level of lead poisoning.There were 15 cases(28.5%) whose blood lead levels was very high(≥100 ?g/L),3 cases whose blood lead level ≥200 ?g/L.After blood change treatment,the percentage of the blood lead level ≥100 ?g/L rose from 2.9% to 19.0%.The average level of blood lead after blood change treatment was higher than before(P
