呼吸衰竭新生儿肾上腺皮质功能状态分析

Objective To observe the adrenal function in neonates with respiratory failure(neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,pneumonia and severe wet lung),the incidence of adrenal insufficiency,and the relationships between adrenal function and lung diseases.Methods Fifty-five cases of neonates(the preterm group of 33 cases,the term group of 22 cases)were enrolled the study.Serum cortisol values and plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone(ACTH)concentration were detected in the morning.Peak serum cortisol values were detected after 30 minutes low-dose(1 μg/1.73 m2)ACTH stimulation test.Adrenal insufficiency was defined as the peak serum cortisol values ＜ 200 μg/L.Results The mean basal serum cortisol values of the preterm group was significantly higher than that of the term group[(139.2±85.4)μg/L vs(92.1±75.0)μg/L,P=0.0407],and the mean poststimulation increase cortisol level[(122.3±56.4)μg/L vs(198.2±77.9)μg/L,P=0.000 1]and the mean ACTH level[(5.22±2.40)ng/L vs(8.66±5.41)ng/L,P =0.008 4]of the preterm group were significantly lower than that of the term group.The total incidence of adrenal insufficiency in neonates with respiratory failure was 20.0%(11/55),and the incidence of adrenal insufficiency was 21.2%(7/33)in the preterm group and 18.2%(4/22)in the term group.Neonates who had the ventilatory requirements had significantly higher incidence of adrenal insufficiency than neonates who did not have the requirements(29.4% vs 4.8%,P = 0.037).None neonate with adrenal insufficiency died.Conclusion The adrenal and the pituitary function of preterm infants are poor than term infants.The incidence of adrenal insufficiency in neonates with respiratory failure is high,especially in the neonates who have the ventilatory requirements.We do not found relationship between the mortality and adrenal insufficiency.The low-dose ACTH test could be a valuable tool in assessing the function of HPA-axis in neonates with respiratory failure.     

Clinical characteristics and risk factors for early-onset necrotizing enterocolitis in preterm infants with very/extremely low birth weight北大核心CSCD

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors for early-onset necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in preterm infants with very/extremely low birth weight (VLBW/ELBW). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of 194 VLBW/ELBW preterm infants with NEC who were admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January 2014 to December 2021. These infants were divided into early-onset group (onset in the first two weeks of life; n=62) and late-onset group (onset two weeks after birth; n=132) based on their onset time. The two groups were compared in terms of perinatal conditions, clinical characteristics, laboratory examination results, and clinical outcomes. Sixty-two non-NEC infants with similar gestational age and birth weight who were hospitalized at the same period as these NEC preterm infants were selected as the control group. The risk factors for the development of early-onset NEC were identified using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Compared with the late-onset group, the early-onset group had significantly higher proportions of infants with 1-minute Apgar score ≤3, stage III NEC, surgical intervention, grade ≥3 intraventricular hemorrhage, apnea, and fever or hypothermia (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that feeding intolerance, blood culture-positive early-onset sepsis, severe anemia, and hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus were independent risk factors for the development of early-onset NEC in VLBW/ELBW preterm infants (P<0.05). Conclusions VLBW/ELBW preterm infants with early-onset NEC have more severe conditions compared with those with late-onset NEC. Neonates with feeding intolerance, blood culture-positive early-onset sepsis, severe anemia, or hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus have a higher risk of early-onset NEC. © 2023 Xiangya Hospital of CSU.

Ursodeoxycholic acid prevention on cholestasis associated with total parenteral nutrition in preterm infants:a randomized trial

Background Preterm infants with long-term parenteral nutrition(PN)therapy are at risk for cholestasis associated with total parenteral nutrition(PNAC).This study examined the safety and efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid(UDCA)in preventing PNAC in preterm infants.Our research aimed to investigate the prophylactic effect of preventive oral UDCA on PNAC in preterm infants.Methods We compared oral administration of UDCA prophylaxis with no prophylaxis in a randomized,open-label,proof-of-concept trial in preterm neonates with PN therapy.The low-birth-weight preterm infants(<1800 g)who were registered to the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)within 24 hours after birth were randomized.The main endpoint was the weekly values of direct bilirubin(DB)of neonates during the NICU stay.Results Eventually,a total of 102 preterm neonates from January 2021 to July 2021 were enrolled in this prospective study(42 in the UDCA group and 60 in the control group).Notably,the peak serum level of DB[13.0(12-16)vs.15.2(12.5-19.6)μmol/L,P<0.05]was significantly lower in the UDCA group than that in the control group without prevention.The peak serum level of total bilirubin(101.1±34 vs.116.5±28.7μmol/L,P<0.05)was also significantly lower in the UDCA group than in the control group.Furthermore,the proportion of patients who suffered from neonatal cholestasis(0.0%vs.11.7%,P<0.05)in the UDCA group was significantly lower.Conclusion UDCA prophylaxis is beneficial in preventing PNAC in NICU infants receiving prolonged PN.     

极低出生体质量儿闪光视觉诱发电位检测的临床意义

Objective To study the clinical significance of flash visual evoked potential(FVEP)detection in very low birth weight infants.Methods FVEP was performed in group of 43 very low birth weight infants with Medelecsynergy evoked potential instrument(Oxford Company,UK) comparing with the group of 56 term infants.Results The mean latency periods of N1,P1 and N2 waves in very low birth weight infant group were(181.43±26.73) ms,(217.27±26.54) ms,(249.21±26.49) ms respectively,while in term infant group were(159.51±18.27) ms,(200.26±13.94) ms,(231.56±15.72) ms.There were significant differences between two groups(P＜0.05,P＜0,001).The abnormal rates of main wave P1 were 75.6% and 0 respectively in very low birth weight infant group and term infant group.Furthermore,the major effect model for related influencing factors in very low birth weight infants with abnormal main wave was 3.898-2.861 intracranial lesion.Intracranial lesion was the independent risk factor for abnormal FVEP (0R=0.057,95% CI 0.006～0.579,P=0.015).Conclusion The abnormal rate of FVEP is higher in the very low birth weight infants,which is closely related to the intraeranial lesion.It is recomraended that FVEP is detected at least twice in the first month after birth or achieving the corrected gestational age of 42 weeks for dynamic observation.
