Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)and analyze the risk factors for early-onset NEC.Methods:A total of 220 children with NEC admitted to the Department of Pediatrics,Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 1st,2018 to February 29th,2024 were retrospectively selected as the research objects. According to the time of onset,the early-onset group( n=120)and the late-onset group( n=100)were established,and the clinical characteristics of the two groups were compared. Another 150 cases of normal healthy newborns born in this hospital in the same period were selected as the control group,and the clinical data of the control group were collected. The clinical characteristics of the early-onset group and the control group were compared,and the risk factors of early-onset NEC were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Results:Compared with the late-onset group,the early-onset group had fever[50.0%(60/120)vs. 40%(40/100), χ2=7.333, P=0.007],apnea[39.17%(47/120)vs. 28%(28/100), χ2=7.568, P=0.006],no rise in body temperature[56.67%(68/120)vs. 39%(39/100), χ2=6.815, P=0.009],abdominal distension[25%(30/120)vs. 40%(40/100), χ2=13.200, P<0.001],vomiting[30.83%(37/120)vs. 45%(45/100), χ2=12.797, P<0.001]was significantly different(all P<0.05);Multivariate Logistic regression analysis:weight<1 500 g( OR=5.871,95% CI:3.153~9.673, P<0.001),gestational age<30 weeks( OR=4.256,95% CI:2.641~7.896, P=0.007),hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus(hs-PDA)( OR=3.113,95% CI:1.865~5.133, P=0.033),severe anemia( OR=3.057,95% CI:2.165~4.802, P=0.001),feeding intolerance( OR=4.215,95% CI:1.579~10.802, P=0.005),amniotic fluid pollution( OR=2.452,95% CI:1.579~3.111, P<0.001)were the independent risk factors for early-onset NEC(all P<0.05). Conclusion:Weight<1 500 g,gestational age<30 weeks,hs-PDA,severe anemia,feeding intolerance,and amniotic fluid contamination are independent risk factors for early-onset NEC. In clinical practice,more attention should be paid to these factors for disease prevention,early identification,and timely intervention in newborns to reduce the occurrence of NEC.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors of severe patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) caused by Enterobacteriaceae bacteria. Methods:Patients suffered from BSI caused by Enterobacteriaceae bacteria admitted to department of critical care medicine of Binzhou Medical University Hospital from October 2016 to October 2019 were enrolled. The information of gender, age, combined shock, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), sensitivity of initial antibiotics, as well as the baseline of procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet (PLT), albumin (ALB) were collected. The 72-hour PCT clearance rate (72 h PCTc) was calculated after 72 hours' treatment. According to the clinical outcome after 28 days, the patients were divided into recovery group and death group. The differences of clinical indicators between the two groups were compared, and then the statistical significant variables were further performed by Logistic regression to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the factors in severe BSI. Results:A total of 86 patients were enrolled, among whom 54 cases recovered while 32 cases died, and the 28-day mortality was 37.2%. There was no significant difference in gender, age, sensitivity of initial antibiotics, baseline levels of PCT and WBC between two groups. In the death group, the shock incidence, APACHEⅡscore, SOFA score were significantly higher than those in recovery group [shock incidence: 84.4% (27/32) vs. 46.3% (25/54), APACHEⅡ: 24.94±7.65 vs. 17.02±6.57, SOFA: 11.00±3.27 vs. 6.30±2.65, all P < 0.01]; the PLT and ALB baseline levels, 72 h PCTc were significantly lower than those in recovery group [PLT (×10 9/L): 73.38±49.15 vs. 138.69±101.80, ALB (g/L): 25.47±5.91 vs. 28.59±4.53, 72 h PCTc: -44 (-170, 27)% vs. 63 (40, 77)%, all P < 0.01]. The above 6 variables were included in Logistic regression. The results showed that SOFA score was a risk factor for death in these patients [odds ratio ( OR) = 1.930, P = 0.037], while 72 h PCTc and ALB were protective factors ( OR values were 0.043, 0.783, P values were 0.008, 0.047). The SOFA, 72 h PCTc and ALB can be used to predict the prognosis of severe BSI, and the diagnostic value of the combination of three factors was the largest [area under the ROC curve (AUC) = 0.953, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.909-0.997], the sensitivity was 100%, and the specificity was 79.6%. Conclusions:Severe patients with BSI caused by Enterobacteriaceae bacteria had a high mortality. Higher SOFA score, and lower ALB and 72 h PCTc predicted the adverse outcome. The combination of the three factors has the greatest prognostic efficacy.

Objective To investigate the strengths and weaknesses of SPAIR and WE in iShim-IVIM of breast gland MRI scanning. Methods Twenty patients with breast tumor underwent iShim-IVIM and DCE-MRI scanning by SPAIR and WE technology. SNR ,CNR and ADC of the SPAIR-iShim and WE-iShim imaging were cal-culated and imaging quality were evaluated. Statistical analysis was done afterwards. Results The SNR and CNR of WE technology is higher than those of SPAIR statistically (P<0.05). There is no significant statistical differ-ence in score of the images between SPAIR and WE(P>0.05). The ADC of the center of the tumor has no signifi-cant statistical difference between SPAIR and WE(P>0.05). Conclusion The quality of the images using WE is significantly improved than SPAIR ,but both of them can meet the diagnostic requirements ,and the ADC has no statistical difference as well.

Objective To explore the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS)and the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.Methods 20 consecutive newly diagnosed middle-aged OSAS patients(OSAS group)with neither controllable factors nor conditions affecting left ventricular diastolic function and 15 healthy control subjects(control group)were examined with echocardiography.Results The OSAS group exhibited left ventricular diastolic dysfunction compared with the control group,including increase of isovolumic relaxation time(P<0.05)and mitral deceleration time(P<0.05),decrease of E/A.There was no difference between tow groups in interventricular systolic thickness,posterior wall thickness,left ventricular systolic diameter,left ventricular diastolic diameter and others.Conclusion OSAS may be related with the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
