Objective:To analyze the characteristics of child cases admitted to accidental injury and provide reliable basis for the prevention of accidental injury.Methods:The clinical data of children admitted to Hunan Children′s Hospital aged 0-18 due to accidental injuries from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The type of accidental injury and characteristic factors such as prognosis, gender, age, time, and location of the child were analyzed.Results:A total of 9 049 children with accidental injury were admitted, accounting for 3.72%(9 049/33 697) of the total number of hospitalized children. The top three types of accidental injuries were falls/drop (3 695 cases), foreign bodies/suffocation (2 639 cases) and traffic accidents (1 165 cases), accounting for 82.87%(7 499/9 049). There were 8 760 cases (96.81%) of improvement and recovery, 178 cases (1.97%) of disability, and 111 cases (1.23%) of unhealed/dead. Among the accidental injuries, 5 833 cases (64.46%) were boys and 3 216 cases (35.54%) were girls, and the incidence ratio was 1.81∶1. There was significant difference between boys and girls in the composition ratio of the type of accidental injury such as falls/falls, foreign bodies/suffocation, poisoning, sharp object injury, drowning ( χ2 values were 3.90-20.56, all P<0.05). Among the accidental injuries, the children aged 1 to<3 years had higher accidental injuries than the other age groups (3 263 cases, accounting for 36.06%), and the composition ratio of accidental injuries in different age groups was different ( χ2 values were 12.98-573.97, all P<0.05). Among the accidental injuries, the accidental injuries occurred in the second quarter and the third quarter were higher than those in the other two quarters (4 892 cases, accounting for 54.06%), and the composition ratio of accidental injuries such as falls/falls, foreign bodies/suffocation, burn and scald, drowning occurred in different quarters was different ( χ2 values were 10.79-18.88, all P<0.05). In the case of accidental injuries, the family was the most likely place of accidental injury, with different types of accidental injuries occurring in different places ( χ2 values were 10.08-2 186.54, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Children′s unintentional injuries are most likely to occur in boys aged 1-<3 years, and fall/fall is the main injury type. Traffic accidents are the most important unintentional injury type leading to children′s unhealed/dead. Different injury types were related to child gender, age, quarter, and place of occurrence.Due to the differences in the occurrence mechanism and injury mode of accidental injuries in different countries and regions, and the majority of accidental injuries can be prevented, targeted preventive measures should be taken according to the characteristics of children′s accidental injuries in different regions, and a comprehensive prevention system for children′s accidental injuries should be constructed to ensure children′s safety.

Objective:To explore the relationship between different types of helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and metabolic Syndrome (MS) in healthy population.Methods:The data of 4 602 adults who underwent physical examination in the Space Center Hospital from January to December 2019 were collected for research, the serum Hp antibody typing was detected by immunoblotting, and the results of liver ultrasound and blood biochemical examination were collected for statistical analysis.Results:Among the physical examination population,there were 2 018 cases with positive serum Hp antibody and 2 584 cases with negative serum Hp antibody.According to the expression of cytotoxin-associated gene A protein (CagA) and vacuolar toxin, 2 018 patients with positive serum Hp antibody were divided into 1 088 cases in type Ⅰ group (53.9%(1 088/2 018)) and 930 cases in type Ⅱ Group (46.1%(930/2 018)). There were significant differences in age, systolic blood pressure and prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) between type Ⅰ group and type Ⅱ Group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), diastolic blood pressure, body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of ms between the two groups (18.3% (199/1 088)) and 19.0%(177/930), P=0.670). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was no correlation. between different serum Hp antibody typing and MS ( OR=1.194,95% CI 0.842-1.693, P=0.319). Conclusion:Different subtypes of type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ Hp infection are not distinctly associated with metabolic syndrome.

Objective:To explore the effects of interpregnancy interval (IPI) on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy.Methods:A multicenter retrospective study was conducted in 21 hospitals in China. Information of age, height, pre-pregnancy weight, IPI, history of diseases, complications of pregnancy, gestational age of delivery, delivery mode, and pregnancy outcomes of the participants were collected by consulting medical records of pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries in the same hospital during 2011 to 2018. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to IPI:<18 months, 18-23 months, 24-59 months and ≥60 months. According to the WHO′s recommendation, with the IPI of 24-59 months group as a reference, to the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes of subsequent pregnancy were analyzed. Stratified analysis was further carried out based on age, history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), macrosomia, and premature delivery, to explore the differences in the effects of IPI on pregnancy outcomes among women with different characteristics.Results:A total of 8 026 women were included in this study. There were 423, 623, 5 512 and 1 468 participants in <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group, respectively. (1) The age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), history of cesarean section, GDM, gestational hypertension and cesarean section delivery rate of <18 months group, 18-23 months group, 24-59 months group and ≥60 months group were gradually increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). (2) After adjusting for potential confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, the risk of premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, and oligohydramnios were increased by 42% ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.07-1.88, P=0.015), 46% ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.13-1.88, P=0.004), and 64% ( OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.13-2.38, P=0.009) respectively for women in the IPI≥60 months group. No effects of IPI on other pregnancy outcomes were found in this study ( P>0.05). (3) After stratified by age and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of oligohydramnios for women with advanced age ( OR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.41-5.83, P=0.004); and <18 months could increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women under the age of 35 ( OR=1.59, 95% CI: 1.04-2.43, P=0.032). Both the risk of premature rupture of membranes ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.18-2.13, P=0.002) and premature delivery ( OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.07-2.17, P=0.020) were significantly increased in the IPI≥60 months group. After stratified by history of GDM and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage for women with a history of GDM ( OR=5.34, 95% CI: 1.45-19.70, P=0.012) and an increased risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of GDM ( OR=1.44, 95% CI: 1.10-1.90, P=0.009). After stratified by history of macrosomia and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months could increase the proportion of cesarean section for women with a history of macrosomia ( OR=4.11, 95% CI: 1.18-14.27, P=0.026) and the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of macrosomia ( OR=1.46, 95% CI: 1.12-1.89, P=0.005). After stratified by history of premature delivery and adjusted for confounding factors, compared with women in the IPI of 24-59 months group, IPI≥60 months would significantly increase the risk of premature rupture of membranes for women without a history of premature delivery ( OR=1.47, 95% CI: 1.13-1.92, P=0.004). Conclusions:Both IPI≥60 months and <18 months would increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy. Healthcare education and consultation should be conducted for women of reproductive age to maintain an appropriate IPI when they plan to pregnant again, to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the subsequent pregnancy.

Objective To investigate the relationships between low one-minute Apgar score and the prognosis of extremely preterm infants (EPI) and extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI). Methods Altogether 50 EPI and ELBWI who had a low one-minute Apgar score ( ≤ 7) and were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Peking University Third Hospital from January 1,2010 to December 31, 2015 were enrolled in this study. All of them were divided into two groups according to their Apgar score: mild group (4-7) and severe group (0-3). Medical records of the subjects were reviewed and an at least 18 months follow up study was conducted. Conditions of all subjects during perinatal period and hospitalization were summarized. Outcomes and follow-up results were compared between the two groups by using Fisher exact test. Results (1) General information: Fifty infants were involved, among which 37 had a mild low Apgar score and 13 had a severe low Apgar score. The mean gestational age was (27.7±2.1) weeks and the mean birth weight was (884.4±174.3) grams. (2) Main complications (some infants with more than one complication): There were 42 cases of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, 12 cases of pulmonary hemorrhage, 21 cases of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, 31 cases of patent ductus arteriosus, 36 cases of intraventricular hemorrhage, 22 cases of white matter damage and six cases of retinopathy of prematurity. (3) Outcomes: The survival rate was 48% (24/50) and the mortality rate was 52% (26/50). Among the 26 infants, five died despite treatment and 21 died within 72 hours after their parents giving up treatment. There were no significant differences in the survival rates, mortality rates and rates of abandon treatment between the two groups [43% (16/37) vs 8/13; 11%(4/37) vs 1/13; 46% (17/37) vs 4/13; Fisher exact test, all P>0.05]. (4) Follow-up results: Twenty-one infants were followed-up to at least 18 months of age, among which four were normal, 10 had growth retardation and recurrent respiratory tract infection and seven had motor development retardation. The incidence of motor development retardation in severe group was higher than that in mild group, and the difference between them was statistically significant (5/8 vs 2/13, Fisher exact test, P=0.046). Conclusions EPI or ELBWI with a low one-minute Apgar score have many nosocomial complications, resulting in high mortality and high incidence of motor development retardation.

Objectives To evaluate the effects of "disease-characteristics nursing quality improvement" program(DNQIP)combined with targeted monitoring in reducing the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP)among patients with mechanical ventilation and to provide evidence for the prevention of VAP. Methods This was a prospective intervention study. All mechanical ventilation patients admitted in stroke intensive care unit(SICU)of our hospital from 2007 to 2015 were selected as the research object. Targeted monitoring was implemented in patients admitted from 2007 to 2011,and DNQIP was formed based on the monitoring results. DNQIP combined with targeted monitoring was implemented from 2012 to 2013 as the first phase,and the second phase was from 2014 to 2015.Results From 2007 to 2015,the number of new patients per year and the total time of using breathing machine in SICU presented a tendency of increasing while the number of patients with VAP and the incidence of VAP presented a tendency of decreasing year by year. The implementation of DNQIP in the first phase from 2012 to 2013(incidence of VAP was 5.4 ‰),compared with the data before implementation from 2007 to 2011(incidence of VAP was 13.8‰),the incidence of VAP was significantly reduced(χ2=9.029,P=0.003). The incidence of VAP(5.3‰)in the second phase from 2014 to 2015,was significantly reduced compared with the incidence of VAP(13.8‰)from 2007 to 2011(χ2=9.559, P=0.002).Conclusions The implementation of targeted monitoring is helpful in finding problems existing in the prevention of VAP. DNQIP in patients with mechanical ventilation can effectively reduce the incidence of VAP and can refine professional assessment and health education. It is also good for the standardization and evidence-based care in the whole process provided for patients. DNQIP combined with targeted monitoring can realize the continuous quality improvement on the basis of evidence-based theory.

Background:The efficacy of standard triple therapy for eradication of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)is decreasing in recent years,and bismuth-containing quadruple regimen becomes the first-line therapy for Hp infection. However,the application of bismuth has some limitations. Aims:To investigate the efficacy of proton pump inhibitor(PPI)-based standard triple therapy combined with teprenone for Hp eradication. Methods:A total of 155 Hp-infected chronic gastritis patients were enrolled from Jan. 2013 to Dec. 2014 at Aerospace Center Hospital,and were randomly assigned into standard triple therapy group,bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group and teprenone-containing quadruple therapy group. Patients in standard triple therapy group were given rabeprazole sodium 20 mg + amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium 914 mg +clarithromycin 500 mg bid for 10 days. Patients in bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group were given standard triple therapy combined with bismuth potassium citrate 0. 6 g bid for 10 days. Patients in teprenone-containing quadruple therapy group were given standard triple therapy combined with teprenone 50 mg bid for 10 days. Symptoms of patients were evaluated before and after eradication therapy. Four weeks after the end of therapy,13 C-urea breath test( UBT)was reexamined to assess the status of Hp infection. Results:One hundred and fifty-two patients completed the treatment course. By ITT analysis,the eradication rates of standard triple therapy group,bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group and teprenone-containing quadruple therapy group were 69. 8%(37 / 53),86. 5% (45 / 52)and 88. 0% (44 / 50), respectively;by PP analysis,the eradication rates of the three groups were 71. 2%(37 / 52),88. 2% (45 / 51)and 89. 8%(44 / 49),respectively. Eradication rates analyzed by ITT and PP in bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group and teprenone-containing quadruple therapy group were significantly higher than those in standard triple therapy group(P <0. 05),but no statistically significant difference was found between these two groups( P > 0. 05). Relieving rates of abdominal pain,abdominal distention and belching in bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group and teprenone-containing quadruple therapy group were higher than those in standard triple therapy group,but statistically significant difference was only found in relieving of abdominal pain between teprenone-containing quadruple therapy group and standard triple therapy group(88. 9% vs. 70. 3% ,P < 0. 05). Adverse effects included transient and mild nausea,diarrhea and black stool, etc. Conclusions:Teprenone-containing quadruple regimen are effective for Hp eradication and symptoms relieving with no severe adverse effects,the efficacy is comparable with bismuth-containing quadruple regimen.
