Objective To determine the effect of the addition of sodium glycerophosphate to intravenous nutrition on bone metabolism in very low birth weight or very preterm infants.Methods The medical records of 116 very preterm infants with a birthweight <1 500 g or a gestational age <32 weeks were retrospectively reviewed. The cases were divided into observation group(53 cases) and control group(63 cases) according to whether or not Sodium Glycerophosphate Injections was added to the intravenous nutrition. The infants in both groups were given calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and in the observation group, sodium glycerophosphate injection was added to intravenous nutrition at 2nd day after birth. The both groups were treated for 2-3 weeks. The general conditions of mothers, comorbidities during pregnancy, and gestational age, sex, and birth weight of the affected child were recorded. The levels of serum calcium, serum phosphorus and serum alkaline phosphatase(ALP) of premature infants were collected at the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks after birth were compared.Results No clinical signs and symptoms such as hyperhidrosis, irritability, easily startled and occipital baldness were found in either group. There was no significant difference in the general data of the children and mothers between the 2 groups(P>0.05). At the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks after birth, the levels of serum calcium in the 2 groups was higher than that at the 1st day after birth, and at the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks after birth, the children in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). At the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks after birth, the levels of serum phosphorus in the 2 groups was lower than that at the 1st day after birth. At the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks after birth, the levels of serum ALP in both groups were higher than those at the 1st day after birth, At the 2nd, 4th and 6th weeks after birth were higher than those at the 1st week after birth. In the control group, the level of ALP at 6 weeks after birth was higher than that at the 2nd and 4th weeks after birth, while in the observation group, the level of ALP at the 6th week after birth was higher than that at the 2nd week after birth, but lower than that at the 4th week after birth; at the 2nd, 4th, 6th weeks after birth, the level of ALP in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Phosphorus element supplementation with Sodium Glycerophosphate Injection added early to intravenous nutrition significantly improved the bone metabolic parameters in preterm infants, which was conducive to the stability of serum calcium and phosphorus and bone metabolism.
Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome of neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome caused by maternal hyperemesis gravidarum.Methods:This retrospective study collected the clinical data of a set of premature twins with pseudo-Bartter syndrome who were admitted to Hebei Children's Hospital in September 2022. Clinical features of the cases were summarized with descriptive analysis.Results:The twins born with a gestational age of 30 +3 weeks required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation due to premature birth and respiratory distress. They were transferred to our hospital 2 h after birth. The mother suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum and even had severe vomiting complicated by hypokalemia 3 d before delivery. The blood gas analysis of the twins at 2 h after birth showed severe metabolic alkalosis, hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia and hyperlactatemia. Hyperglycemia appeared at 6 h after birth, and scleredema neonatorum at 24 h after birth. No significant abnormalities were found in the tandem mass spectrometer analysis of blood or urine samples. Whole-exome sequencing showed no abnormalities in the genes related to the phenotype. The twins were diagnosed with neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome. After symptomatic and supportive treatment, metabolic alkalosis and electrolyte disorders in the twins were completely resolved 4 d after birth. They were cured and discharged 51 d after birth without recurrence. Follow-up revealed no abnormalities in the physical or neurological development of the twins at 11 months after birth. Conclusions:Maternal hyperemesis gravidarum can lead to neonatal pseudo-Bartter syndrome, characterized by severe metabolic disorders as well as respiratory and circulatory dysfunction at the early stage after birth. Timely diagnosis and treatment are conducive to good prognosis in the affected neonates.

Objective:To study the etiologies and clinical features of neonatal shock and evaluate the risk factors of mortality.Method:From January 2018 to September 2020, the clinical data of neonatal shock patients admitted to neonatal intensive care unit of our hospital were retrospectively collected. Their etiologies and clinical features were analyzed. The infants were assigned into the cured group and the death group. The risk factors for death were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression methods.Result:A total of 99 neonatal shock cases were collected. The neonates had a gestational age (GA) of (37.7±2.9) weeks, a birth weight (BW) of (2 969±756) g, and male 55, female 44. The median age on admission was 12 days. 26 cases were premature infants. The most common type of shock was septic shock (78/99, 78.8%). The other causes included cardiogenic (6/99, 6.1%), hypovolemic (6/99, 6.1%), asphyxial (5/99, 5.1%) and congenital genetic metabolic diseases (4/99, 4.0%). The mortality rate was 21.2% (21/99). Escherichia coli and Group B streptococcus were the most common pathogenic bacteria. The mortality was significantly higher in premature infants than the full-term infants (42.3% vs. 13.7%, P<0.05). The death group had significantly higher incidences of infants with BW<2 500 g, GA<37 weeks, admission age < 3 d, pH<7.15 on admission, blood lactic acid (>4 mmol/L) on admission, hypotension, coagulation dysfunction, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome than the cured group. Logistic regression analysis indicated that pH<7.15 on admission and hypotension were the independent risk factors of death. Conclusion:Septic shock is the leading cause of neonatal shock in our patients. pH<7.15 on admission and hypotension are the independent risk factors of death from neonatal shock.
Objective:To evaluate the effect of continuous quality improvement (QI) in reducing the incidence of nosocomial infection (NI) and complications of premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).Method:This was a prospective, observational study of preterm neonates before and after QI efforts to reduce NI and complications. Premature infants with gestational age less than 34 weeks and age less than 7 days admitted to NICU in Hebei Children's Hospital from May 2015 to April 2018 were enrolled in the study. The premature infants admitted without continuous QI from May 2015 to April 2016 were taken as the control group, and those admitted from May 2016 to April 2017 after the implementation of QI measures related to NI were included in intervention group 1, and those admitted from May 2017 to April 2018 were included in intervention group 2. The SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the incidence of NI and the severe complications, such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the three groups.Result:A total of 738 premature infants were included in this study, including control group ( n=216), intervention group 1 ( n=295) and intervention group 2 ( n=227). No significant differences were found in the gestional age, birth weight and other clinical characteristics among the three groups ( P>0.05). After QI, the incidence of NI decreased significantly, with 15.3%, 10.2% and 7.5% in the three groups respectively. There was significant difference between the intervention group 2 and the control group ( P < 0.05). A total of 80 premature infants in the three groups developed NI, of which sepsis, ventilator-associated pneumonia and urinary tract infection accounted for 85.0%, 13.8% and 1.2%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the compliance rate of hand washing after intervention was significantly improved, the days of peripheral central venous catheterization and the days of antibiotics therapy were significantly shortened, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of BPD, ROP, severe IVH or PVL among the three groups ( P>0.05). The hospital stay of intervention group 2 was shorter than that of control group and intervention group 1, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Through the implementation of continuous QI measures, the incidence of nosocomial infection in premature infants of NICU can be declined, and the related complications of premature infants can also be reduced.
