Objective:To assess the status of undernutrition and appropriate catch-up growth in extremely preterm infants within 24 months of corrected age (CA).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 422 extremely preterm infants born at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital, Women and Children's Medical Center, Southern Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022 and followed up until 24 months of CA were enrolled. The extremely preterm infants were grouped by gestational age at birth (<25, 25-26, 27 weeks), birth weight (<500, 500-749, 750-999,≥1 000 g), weight for gestational age (large for gestational age (LGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA), small for gestational age (SGA)) and sex. Weight data within 24 months of CA were collected every 3 months. Nutritional insufficiency, growth rate, and achievement of adequate catch-up growth were analyzed during the period from 0 to 24 months of CA. Z-score method was used to analyze data. Fenton 2013 preterm growth charts (Fenton 2013) were used before 40 weeks of corrected gestational age, and World Health Organization child growth standards (2009) fitted Z-scores were applied from 40 weeks of CA. Changes in weight Z-scores of extremely preterm infants from 0 to 24 months of CA were observed and compared, the occurrence of moderate to severe malnutrition and growth retardation was determined, nutritional insufficiency was assessed, and growth rate as well as the achievement of appropriate catch-up growth were analyzed. The Lambda-mu-sigma method combined with the Z-score fitting model was used to fit and analyze the distribution characteristics of weight percentiles in extremely preterm infants. The Chi-square test was used to compare differences among groups.Results:A total of 422 extremely preterm infants were included, with a gestational age at birth of 26.3(25.4, 27.2) weeks and a birth weight of (880±177) g. Among them, 238 were males and 184 were females; 36 cases (8.5%) were LGA, and 16 cases (3.8%) were SGA. During follow-up within 24 month of CA, 89 cases (21.1%) developed moderate to severe malnutrition. When compared separately among different birth weight and gestational age at birth groups, there had both statistically differences in the incidence of moderate to severe malnutrition ( χ2=42.94 and 9.17, both P<0.05). The incidence was the highest in the birth weight of CA<500 g group and the <25 weeks gestational age at birth group, while it was the lowest in the birth weight of CA≥1 000 g group and the 27 weeks gestational age at birth group in their respective groups. Growth retardation occurred in 5.2% (22/422). However, there had statistically differences in the incidence of growth retardation among different birth weight and gestational age at birth groups, in each grouped time interval ( χ2=21.61 and 4.30, both P<0.05). The proportions of rapid growth were relatively high in the 0-3 months and 3-6 months of CA groups, which were 96 cases (27.4%) and 98 cases (26.6%), respectively. Overall, appropriate catch-up growth was achieved in 341 cases (80.8%) from 0 to 24 months of CA. There had statistically differences in the completion rate of appropriate catch-up growth among different birth weight and gestational age at birth groups ( χ2=23.65 and 7.08, both P<0.05). The completion rate was the highest in the birth weight of CA<500 g group and the <25 weeks of gestational age at birth group, while it was the lowest in the birth weight of CA≥1 000 g group and the 27 weeks of gestational age at birth group. Conclusions:The lower the birth weight and gestational age of extremely preterm infants, the higher the incidence of moderate to severe malnutrition and the lower the achievement rate of adequate catch-up growth within 24 months of CA. The period of 0-6 months of CA is the critical window for catch-up in extremely preterm infants.

Objective:To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)combined with paclitaxel(PTX)on the proliferation,level of reactive oxygen species(ROS),and cell cycle of human gastric cancer AGS cell line cultured in vitro. Methods:After the completion of in vitro culture,the AGS cells were divided into four groups,including control group,PTX group,HBO group,and HBO+PTX group. Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of HBO combined with PTX on the proliferation of AGS cells. Flow cytometry was adopted to detect the intracellular ROS level and cell cycle arrest. Western blotting was used to assess the expression levels of cell cycle-related proteins. Results:The survival rate of AGS cells in the HBO+PTX group was significantly lower than those in the control group and the HBO group( P<0.01),and also lower than that in the PTX group( P<0.05). The ROS level of AGS cells in the HBO+PTX group was significantly higher than those in the control group and the HBO group( P<0.01),and also higher than that in the PTX group( P<0.05). PTX blocked the AGS cell cycle in S phase( P<0.05),and the percentage of cells at S phase in the HBO+PTX group was found slightly higher than that in the PTX group( P>0.05). The expression level of Cyclin A1 in the HBO+PTX group was significantly lower than those in the other three groups( P<0.05 or P<0.01);the expression level of CDK2 in the HBO+PTX group was lower than those in the control group and the HBO group( P<0.05),and also slightly lower than that in the PTX group( P>0.05). Conclusion:HBO can effectively enhance the inhibitory effect of PTX on the proliferation of AGS cells,increase the intracellular ROS level in AGS cells,and block the cell cycle,thereby inhibiting the differentiation and proliferation of AGS cells.
