1.Protein hydrolysate formula in newborns
International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;(5):531-533,534
Enteral feeding is essential to the newborns,especially premature newborns,which related to infants′survival and long-term prognosis. There are different kinds of infant formulas which can be chosed in case of maternal breast milk is not available,but how to choose has always been the focus of attention. In recent years protein hydrolysate formula has been applied expanded gradually in the clinical practice,and more related research has been completed,which have conducted yielding new insights for researchers. Some recent applica-tion of protein hydrolysate formula in the neonatal are reviewed and discussed.

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with allergic disease in preterm infants during the first year of life. To investigate whether there was any association between peripheral blood eosinophils and allergic di-sease during the first year of life benefit of hydrolyzed formula feeding in preterm infants. Methods A nested case -control study was conducted in a cohort of artificial feeding preterm infants admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Shanghai Children's Medical Center from January 2012 to April 2013. The preterm infants were monitored from birth up to 1 year of age and the findings were related to development of allergic disease. Individuals with allergic disease during the first year of life(cases)were matched with gender,as previously described with two individuals(controls)who re-mained event - free during the study. The risk factors associated with allergic disease in preterm infants during the first year of life were analyzed. And whether there was any association between peripheral blood eosinophils and allergic di-sease during the first year of life benefit of a hydrolyzed formula feeding in preterm infants was investigated. Different variables in control and case individuals were compared with t test for normal distribution measurement date,χ2 tests for categorical variables and Mann - Whitney U test for non - normal distribution measurement date,and multiple conditio-nal Logistic regression were used to investigate the risk factors associated with allergic disease in preterm infants. Results Thirty - four individuals were in cases and 68 individuals were in controls. In a conditional multivariable Logistic model,peripheral blood eosinophils of preterm infants at full enteral feeding(EOS - 2)(OR = 5. 941,95% CI:1. 165 - 41. 375,P ﹤ 0. 05),and family history of allergy(OR = 3. 316,95% CI:1. 201 - 9. 152,P ﹤ 0. 05)were the two independent risk factors for allergic disease in preterm infants during the first year of life. Individuals fed with standard preterm formula after birth,the association between EOS - 2 and allergic disease was significantly enhanced (OR = 21. 459,95% CI:1. 686 - 273. 152,P ﹤ 0. 05). By contrast,in individuals fed with hydrolyzed formula,the risk of EOS - 2 was substantially attenuated(OR = 1. 708,95% CI:0. 148 - 19. 743,P ﹥ 0. 05). Conclusions Peripheral blood eosinophils of preterm infants at full enteral feeding EOS - 2 and family history of allergy were the 2 independent risk factors for allergic disease in preterm infants during the first year of life. Contrast to individuals fed with standard preterm formula after birth,individuals fed with hydrolyzed formula had lower association between factors of peripheral blood eosinophils and family history of allergy,and allergic disease during the first year of life.

Objective To explore the effects of Six-Step standardized communication procedure in improving the communication ability of nurses.Methods C-I-CARE communication procedure was converted into Chinese.The Chinese version of Six-Step standardized communication procedure was Yi Kan,Er Yin,San Gaozhi,Si Wen,Wu Da,Liu Zaijian.The procedure was propagandized by making posters,setting up computer desktop,training nurses by lectures,video and role play.The effects were evaluated by pre and post self-control test among 100 nurses.Results The average score of communication behavior of 100 nurses after applying standardized communication procedure increased from 2.55±0.67 to 4.44±0.59 (t=-23.174,P<0.001).In 2015,the nursing department received 622 silk banners and commendatory letters for appreciating nursing work,increased by 18.9% compared to 2014.The discharged patient satisfaction increased from 94.2% to 96.93%.The satisfaction of doctors to nurses' collaboration was 99.86%.There was no nursing complaint or dispute caused by bad communication.Conclusion The application of procedure and standardized communication method can improve the communication ability of nurses,optimize the relationship between nurses and patients and increase patient satisfaction.
