Abstract: Objective To establish a risk prediction model for nosocomial infection in preterm very low birth weight infants, and conduct internal validation. Methods A total of 206 cases of very low birth weight premature infants hospitalized in the Department of Neonatology of Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College from January 2018 to June 2020 were included in this study, factors that may affect the nosocomial infection of children were collected, and the infants were divided into two groups according to whether there is nosocomial infection. The influencing factors were compared between the two groups, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed after screening variables with LASSO regression. According to the results of multi factor analysis, the nomogram model was constructed and verified internally. Results A total of 29 of 206 children had nosocomial infection (14.08%), and 33 pathogenic bacteria were detected, including 23 Gram-negative bacteria, 9 Gram-positive bacteria and 1 fungus. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis based on LASSO regression showed that the risk factors for nosocomial infection of VLBW premature infants were 28-31+6 weeks of gestation, amniotic fluid pollution, mechanical ventilation, indwelling gastric tube, unreasonable use of antibiotics, and hospitalization time ≥ 7 days. The protective factors were Apgar score ≥ 7 points at 1 min and breast feeding accounting for 50% or more (P<0.05). The Area Under Curve (AUC) of ROC curve of nomogram model was 0.946 [95%CI(0.923, 1.000)]. The calibration curve showed that the probability of hospital infection predicted by the model was basically consistent with the actual probability. The decision curve showed that when the probability threshold of nomogram model to predict the risk of nosocomial infection of very low birth weight premature infants was 0-0.85, the net rate of return was greater than 0. Conclusion Preterm infants with extremely low birth weight are at high risk of nosocomial infection, mainly affected by factors such as gestational weeks, hospitalization time, amniotic fluid pollution, etc. The nomogram model constructed by the above factors has high accuracy and discrimination for predicting nosocomial infection in such children.

Objective To explore the risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Methods Clinical data of 211 cases of late preterm infants with hyperbilirubinemia and 246 cases of late preterm infants without hyperbilirubinemia were retro-spectively analyzed between 2011 and 2012. The risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia were filtered. Results Twenty-seven cases of late premature infants with hyperbilirubinemia were severe. Hospital stay less than 3 days, birth asphyxia history, small for gestatio-nal age, head hematoma, delivery injury, hypoalbuminemia, polycythemia, infection, hemolytic disease, feeding intolerance, and fe-tal excretion delay were associated with hyperbilirubinemia (P<0.05). Rural origin, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and premature rupture of membrane were also associated with hyperbilirubinemia (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the history of birth asphyxia , fetal excretion delay, hypoalbuminemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome were risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants (OR=2.35-4.05). Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and hemolytic dis-ease were risk factors of severe hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants (OR=5.74, 73.64). Conclusions Neonatal asphyxia, fetal excretion delay, hypoalbuminemia and pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome are risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late pre-term infants. Strengthening the management of pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and the treatment of newborn hemolytic disease can reduce the occurrence of severe hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants.

The effects of over-expression of ANXA10 gene on proliferation and apoptosis of hepato-cellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 were elucidated. The human ANXA10 gene was subcloned into the lentiviral vector, PGC-FU, to generate the lentiviral expression vector, PGC-FU-ANXA10. The corrected ANXA10 was confirmed by endoenzyme digestion, and sequencing. Recombinant lentiviruses were produced by 293T cells following the co-transfection of PGC-FU-ANXA10 with the packaging plasmids pHelper1.0 and pHelper2.0. The resulting recombinant lentiviruses carrying ANXA10 were then used to infect human embryonic kidney epithelial cells, and lentiviral particles were produced. The ANXA10 expression in 293T cells was detected by using fluorescent microscope and Western blotting. HepG2 cells were infected, and divided into PGC-Fu-ANXA10 group, PGC-Fu group and HepG2 cell group. The changes of ANXA10 mRNA and protein expression were detected by using RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively. Flow cytometry and MTT assay were performed to examine the changes in cell apoptosis and proliferation respectively. The recombinant PGC-FU-ANXA10 vector was successfully constructed, the ANXA10 protein was detected by using Western blotting, and virus titer was 2×10(8) TU/mL. The recombinant lentiviruses were effectively infected into HepG2 cells in vitro and the infection efficiency was 70%. At 72 h after infection, the ANXA10 mRNA and protein expression levels in PGC-Fu-ANXA10 group were significantly higher than in PGC-Fu group and HepG2 cell group (P<0.05); the in vitro growth inhibition rate of HepG2 cells in PGC-Fu-ANXA10 group was 24.65%, significantly higher than that in PGC-Fu group and HepG2 cell group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between PGC-Fu group and HepG2 cell group; the apoptosis rate in PGC-Fu-ANXA10 group, PGC-Fu group and HepG2 cell group was (51.92±1.41)%, (19.00±1.12)% and (3.59±0.89)% respectively. The apoptosis rate in PGC-Fu-ANXA10 group was significantly higher than in PGC-Fu group and HepG2 cell group (P<0.05). The recombinant lentiviruses PGC-FU-ANXA10 were constructed successfully and infected into HepG2 cells. The overexpression of ANXA10 gene can significantly inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis of HepG2 cells in vitro.
