Objectives:To investigate the rate and risk factors of tip displacement of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) in preterm infants.Methods:This was a multicenter cohort study. Study population were preterm infants admitted to 44 tertiary hospitals in China between October 2019 and August 2021. Demographic information, general clinical data, UVC indwelling conditions and related complications were collected. The primary outcome was the rate of UVC tip displacement. The observation time points were 2 d and 7 d after UVC. They were grouped according to UVC displacement, gestational age, and birth weight. Binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of UVC tip displacement.Results:The 2 086 preterm infants had a gestational age of (29.9±2.3) weeks and a birth weight of (1 248±298) g. There were 1 106 male preterm infants (53.0%). The rate of UVC displacement at 2 d and 7 d were 34.6% (721/2 086) and 33.6% (494/1 470), respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=0.35, P=0.533). Univariate analysis indicated that male infants, small gestational age, low birth weight and small catheter diameter were all risk factors for UVC tip displacement at the 2 d time point (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that small catheter diameter was an independent risk factor for tip displacement at both 2 d ( OR=0.47, 95% CI 0.34-0.66) and 7 d ( OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.25-0.59) time points (both P<0.001). Conclusions:The rate of UVC tip displacement is high in preterm infants. It should be avoided to deliberately select a small diameter catheter for UVC, and pay attention to the imaging monitoring of the tip position after UVC.

Objective:To explore the effects of mechanical factors on the morphology of the growth plate and proximal femur development, in order to provide a mechanical basis for the mechanism of Cam lesions in femoral acetabular impingement (FAI).Methods:Using CT scan data of hip joint from adolescents, we constructed three-dimensional finite element models of normal and extended proximal femoral epiphyseal growth plates. Dynamic mechanics and position data from daily activities (walk, stand on one and two feet, go upstairs and downstairs, sit and stand up, squat and stand up) and basketball layup drills were collected from five healthy volunteers using the Vicon system. The mean values of femoral head mechanical loads and positions at peak values, movement onset, and termination were selected for finite element analysis to observe the distribution of equivalent stress, normal stress, and shear stress on the two growth plate models under different activity modes.Results:Successful construction of three-dimensional finite element models for normal and extended proximal femoral epiphyseal growth plates was achieved. Mechanical load values and spatial positions of the femoral head during daily activities and layup movements were obtained. In daily activities, peak equivalent stress values for normal and extended growth plates ranged from 1.6 to 11.0 MPa; compressive stress ranged from 1.7 to 12.0 MPa; tensile stress ranged from 0.5 to 10.0 MPa; and shear force ranged from 0.4 to 7.1 MPa. The compressive stress during walking, standing on one or both feet, going up and down stairs, sitting and standing, and squatting was concentrated in the central and lateral areas; tensile stress was concentrated in the central and medial areas; shear force was concentrated in the medial area and the anterior and posterior edges of the growth plate. During a layup, the compressive stress in the center, outer upper side, and medial edge of the growth plate of the normal model was notably concentrated, with peaks fluctuating between 5.5-19.0 MPa, 5.7-11.0 MPa, and 5.4-7.3 MPa respectively; tensile stress and shear force were concentrated at the inner and outer edges as well as in the central area, with peaks fluctuating between 3.0-24.0 MPa and 3.0-26.0 MPa respectively, these values were significantly different from those observed during daily activities. For the elongated growth plate, compressive stress was concentrated at the central and lateral edges with peaks fluctuating between 17.0-41.0 MPa and 17.0-38.0 MPa respectively; simulated shear stress and tensile stress showed significant concentration at peaks fluctuating between 4.9-34.0 MPa, also significantly different from those observed during daily activities.Conclusion:The difference in mechanical distribution between daily activities, basketball layup training, as well as between normal and extended growth plates may be the mechanical initiating factor in the development of extended growth plates and the formation of Cam lesions, it may be the mechanical initiating factor for the development of extended growth plates and the collision of Cam lesions in FAI.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC) by using different methods to estimate the insertion depth.Methods:PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library, CBM (SinoMed), CNKI, VIP Database, Wanfang Database and Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database were electronically searched for literature on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing different methods for estimating the insertion depth of UVC. The search period was from the establishment date of the above databases to April 15th, 2022. If 2 or more studies were available for each pairwise comparison, a meta-analysis was conducted using the RevMan 5.3 software. However, if only 1 study was included for each pairwise comparison, SPSS 26.0 statistical software is used for statistical analysis using the chi-square test.Results:A total of 9 RCTs were included in the final meta-analysis, with a total of 1 281 infants, using 6 methods for estimating the depth of UVC. Compared with the Shukla formula, the Dunn method showed a statistically significant improvement in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt ( RR=1.27, 95% CI 1.09-1.47, P=0.002). When comparing the Dunn method with the revised Shukla formula, the difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt was statistically significant (21.4% vs. 33.5%, χ2=7.24, P=0.007). There was no statistically significant difference in the correct place rate at the first UVC attempt between the Dunn method and the formula based on BW, the JSS formula and the revised Shukla formula, and the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of UVC complications between the Dunn method and the Shukla formula, and between the method based on anatomical marks and the Shukla formula. Conclusions:Comparing to Shukla formula, Dunn method has a higher correct place rate at the first attempt. The incidence of complications is similar between the different pairwise comparison methods.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the safety of family integrated care (FICare) model in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Methods:Multiple medical databases were searched for clinical studies on FICare in NICU published from January 1, 2010 to May 28, 2022. The quality of the literature was evaluated using Risk?of?Bias?2 tool?and cohort evaluation criteria from the Cochrane Systematic Evaluation Manual depending on the types of studies included. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.3 software.Results:Six randomized controlled trials and four cohort studies were included for meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with the traditional care model, FICare model did not increase the risk of nosocomial infection ( RR=0.75, 95% CI 0.46-1.24, P=0.27) and unstable medical conditions ( RR=0.86, 95% CI 0.61-1.22, P=0.40). No significant difference existed in the all-cause mortality between FICare and traditional care ( RR=2.74, 95% CI 0.88-8.57, P=0.08). Conclusions:FICare does not increase the risk of nosocomial infection, unstable medical conditions and adverse events compared with traditional care. It is safe and feasible to implement FICare in NICU.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features and therapeutic outcomes of patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH) auxiliarily diagnosed by 18F-DOPA positron emission tomography (PET) CT scanning. Methods:The clinical data of 123 patients who were diagnosed with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia by comprehensive clinical diagnostic procedures in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Diseases, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data such as gender, age of onset, province, concurrent serum insulin level measured during hypoglycemia, lesion type of pancreas by 18F-DOPA-PET CT scanning, genetic test results, and treatment were collected successively. The clinical features and therapeutic outcomes were compared between patients with focal and diffuse pancreatic lesions. T test, Rank sum test, and χ2 test were used for comparison between groups. Results:A total of 123 patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (72 males and 51 females), whose average age of onset was 3 days (ranging from 1 day to 4 860 days), were recruited from 24 provinces. The concurrent serum insulin level was 7.1 (0.4-303.0) mU/L during hypoglycemia. 18F-DOPA-PET CT scanning identified focal lesions in 25.2% (31/123) and diffuse lesions in 74.8% (92/123) of the patients; 64.2% (79/123) of the HH cases were found to have pathogenic gene variants, in which 88.6% (70/79) were found to have K ATP channel related genes (61 in ABCC8 and 9 in KCNJ11 mutations). Thirty-seven patients (17 focal and 20 diffuse) received surgical treatment with a success rate of 67.6% (25/37). The effective rate of diazoxide for children with diffuse type was significantly higher than that of children with focal group (28.3% (26/92) vs. 9.7% (3/31), χ2=10.31, P=0.001). Conclusions:18F-DOPA-PET CT scan can improve the success rate of surgery. Comprehensive diagnosis of the etiology of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia by genetic analysis and 18F-DOPA-PET CT scanning can result in better treatment and prognosis.

Objective:
To study the feasibility of 18F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography/Computed tomography (18F-DOPA PET/CT) scanning in the localization and differential diagnosing of focal versus diffuse form of pancreas lesions in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH).
Method:
Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with HH between January, 2016 and February, 2017 in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Diseases, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University using an integrated clinical and biochemical diagnostic protocol, domestic 18F-DOPA PET/CT imaging technique were applied after MRI and ultrasound failed to detect pancreas lesions. Pancreas 18F-DOPA standardized uptake values (SUV) were measured, and pancreas′ lesions were dually analyzed via visual method and pancreas percentage SUV method. Among these patients, 9 patients received surgical pancreatic lesion resections, the correlations among surgical outcomes, histopathological findings and 18F-DOPA PET/CT scan results were analyzed.
Result:
Seven patients were detected with focal form of pancreas lesions, the mean peak of SUV was 4.7±1.7(2.6-7.1), and 17 patients were found to have diffuse form lesions after 18F-DOPA-PET/CT scanning. Among the 24 cases, 9 patients (7 showed focal and 2 showed diffuse 18F-DOPA PET/CT pancreatic uptake)were euglycemic without any medical support after surgery; the resected pancreatic tissue histopathological results were consistent with that of PET/CT imaging. Only one patient, who responded to medical treatment before surgery, had temporary hyperglycemia after operation.
Conclusion
Domestic 18F-DOPA PET/CT could successfully locate and differentiate the pancreatic lesions and thus improve the success of surgery.
