Objective:To investigate the light exposure in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and to explore the effect of light management on the growth and development of premature infants.Methods:This study adopted a quasi-experimental research method. Sixty-three premature infants hospitalized in NICU of Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital Affiliated to Jiangnan University from January to December 2021 were selected by convenience sampling as the control group, and conventional premature infant care measures were implemented, while 60 hospitalized premature infants from January to December 2022 were selected as the observation group, and NICU light management strategies were implemented. The light intensity, bad light exposure, the growth of body mass, body length, hospitalization days of premature infants during hospitalization, and the feeding of premature infants during hospitalization were compared between the two groups.Results:Sixty-three patients were enrolled in the control group, including 28 males and 35 females with a gestational age of (32. 13 ± 1.94) weeks, while 60 patients were enrolled in the observation group, including 32 males and 28 females with a gestational age of (31. 79 ± 1.83) weeks. The daytime and nighttime illuminations in the observation group were (413.79 ± 181.95) and (18.95 ± 12.43) lux, which were better than those in the control group (145.12 ± 99.56) and (53.25 ± 38.34) lux, respectively. The rate of bad light exposure in the observation group was 18.2% (183/1 008). The difference was statistically significant ( t=-29.08, 11.55, χ2=126.99, all P<0.05). In the observation group, the body mass, weekly length gain, hospitalization days, milk intake and age at full feeding on the 7th and 14th day of birth were (1.74 ± 0.32) kg, (1.88 ± 0.32) kg, (1.63 ± 0.60) cm, (26.92 ± 12.32) d, (125.60 ± 69.43) ml/d, (239.33 ± 92.83) ml/d, (15.07 ± 10.01) d, and (1.58 ± 0.31) kg, (1.73 ± 0.31) kg, (1.39 ± 0.48) cm, (32.00 ± 14.00) d, (100.83 ± 68.54) ml/d, (195.05 ± 111.22) ml/d, (18.95 ± 10.76) d in the control group. There were significant differences between the two groups ( t values were -2.89 to 2.13, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of light management strategy in NICU can effectively reduce the bad light exposure of premature infants, promote their growth and development and shorten the length of hospital stay, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between mesenteric fat or creeping fat and bowel stricture or penetrating disease of Crohn's disease (CD).Methods:Clinical data of 101 CD patients undergoing bowel surgery at Department of General Surgery in our hospital between Mar 2021 and Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The characteristics of mesenteric fat, creeping fat, luminal cross-section diameter, and the intestinal stricture index were analyzed. The Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between disease behavior and mesenteric fat score or creeping fat score.Results:Totally 101 CD patients were enrolled, with 68 stricturing diseases and 33 penetrating diseases. CD patients with stricturing diseases had higher score of mesenteric disease activity index (4.6±1.9 vs. 3.7±2.0, t=2.212, P=0.029) and creeping fat index (4.2±2.0 vs. 2.9±1.6, t=3.154, P=0.002) than those in patients with penetrating diseases. The mesenteric fat and creeping fat score positively correlated with the intestinal stricture index, C-reactive protein, and fecal calprotectin, and negatively correlated with minimum luminal cross-section diameter. Conclusion:The higher score of mesenteric fat and creeping fat were observed in CD patients with stricturing disease, which were associated with intestinal stricture index and inflammation status.

Objectives:To assess bowel function and quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA).Methods:Clinical data of 37 UC patients after IPAA between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University. The IBDQ and Bowel Function questionnaire were used for analyzing correlation between clinical variables and quality of life or bowel function.Results:Laparoscopic operation was performed in 12 cases at stage 2 and 25 cases at stage 3. Postoperative defecation of stage 3 patients were better than that of stage 2 ( t=6.72, P<0.05). The number of daily defecation in age >45-year-old group was more than that in <45-year-old ( t=3.49, P<0.05), and the rate of evening stool seepage in the older group was higher than in the younger group( t=5.28, P<0.05). The total score of intestinal symptoms of IBDQ in patients of pouchitis was lower than that without pouchitis ( r=0.330, P<0.05). The total score in age >45 in terms of systemic symptoms ( r=0.349, P<0.05) and emotional function ( r=0.379, P<0.05) was higher than age <45. Conclusions:Outcomes of UC patients after IPAA are satisfactory, bowel function and quality of life is related with age, and stage of IPAA affect postoperative defecation.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients with Crohn's disease (CD).Methods:This retrospective observational study included CD patients undergoing bowel resection between July 2015 and July 2018. The prevalence and risk factors of SSIs were evaluated. The microbiological evaluation from patients with SSIs was performed by bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test.Results:There were 66 patients suffering SSIs, with 41 incisional SSIs and 32 organ/space SSIs. Multivariate analysis identified the preoperative infliximab therapy ( OR 2.338,95% CI 1.192-4.587, P=0.013), laparoscopic surgery ( OR 0.460,95% CI 0.226-0.936, P=0.013), and preoperative white blood cell ( OR 2.008,95% CI 1.018-3.961, P=0.044) as independent factors for SSIs. Fifty-nine strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected in 66 cases of CD combined with SSIs, including 36 strains of gram-negative bacteria, 5 strains of gram-positive bacteria, and 2 strains of fungi. Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were main G - bacteria, with high resistance to common used antibiotics. Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium were main G -. 62.1% of the SSIs grew extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing pathogens in their bacteria cultures and 37.9% grew non-ESBL microbes. Conclusion:The incidence of SSIs was higher in CD patients. Preoperative infliximab therapy, preoperative white blood cell, and laparoscopic surgery were predictors of SSIs.

Objectives:To investigate the diagnostic value of whole blood quantitative PCR for DNA load of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:A total of 694 patients with hematologic diseases who underwent allo-HSCT at the Hematology Department of Peking University First Hospital from April 2004 to April 2019 were included, and their data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:①Among the 694 cases, 29 cases (22 males and 7 females, with a median age of 22 (1-52) years) developed PTLD after allo-HSCT with a cumulative incidence of 4.2% and a median onset time of 2.1 (0.8-20.6) months. ② Univariate analysis showed that age<30 years, diagnosis with aplastic anemia, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch, use of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) in preconditioning regimens, and EBV reactivation were the risk factors for the occurrence of PTLD. Multivariate analysis showed that EBV reactivation was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of PTLD. ③Further analysis of EBV reactivation cases showed that the peak value of EBV-DNA load was significantly higher in the PTLD group than that in the non-PTLD group ( P<0.001) and the incidence of PTLD increased with the increase of EBV-DNA load. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that PTLD was more likely to be diagnosed when the EBV-DNA load was >1.19×10 6 copies/ml (sensitivity 0.800 and specificity 0.768) . ④All patients with PTLD received rituximab-based treatment, with an overall response rate of 86.2% and an overall survival rate of 54.3%. Conclusion:The PTLD occurrence after allo-HSCT is highly correlated with EBV reactivation, and the higher the EBV-DNA load, the greater the risk of PTLD occurrence. The dynamic monitoring of EBV-DNA load plays an important role in predicting PTLD occurrence.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of continuing nursing mode on mental state and the impact of care capacity in mothers of NICU children with very low birth weight.
Methods:
Based on the theory of continuous care, a continuation nursing program for children with very low birth weight from the day of discharge from the hospital to one month after discharge was used. A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 80 cases of very low birth weight infants admitted to our hospital. The order of discharge was randomly divided into 40 cases in the intervention group and 40 cases in the control group. The control group received routine care and the intervention group used a continuing nursing intervention model. On the day of discharge from the hospital, 1 week after discharge, and 1 month after discharge, the scores of the mothers' psychological status and home care ability were collected.
Results:
On the day of discharge, there was no significant difference in mental state and home care ability between the two groups (
