Objective To summarize the experience of the surgical treatment of complex congenital heart diseases in 29 newborns. Methods Twenty-nine newborns were operated on for various congenital heart diseases, ages were from 3 to 28 d. There were ventricular septal defect 3 cases, D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) 10 cases, pulmonary atresia (PA) 1 case,tricuspid atresia 3 cases, single ventricle 1 case, tetralogy of Fallot 6 cases, endocardial cushion defect 4 cases and truncus arteriosus 1 case. All patients were combined with atrial septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. All operations were performed under hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results The operative mortality was 13.8%(4/29). One case with D-TGA and 1 case with PA succumbed due to low cardiac output syndrome, and 2 cases due to acute respiratory distress syndrome and low blood oxygen saturation. Twenty-five cases were discharged. Follow-up was completed in 19 patients,with a duration of 1-31 months, all patients have been normal. Conclusion Anesthesia and cardiopulmonary bypass should be performed smoothly and satisfactorily in newborn babies for cardiac surgery. Surgical manipulation should be accurate with less trauma and well protection of myocardium and lung is important.
Objective To investigate the method and conditions of isolation，proliferation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells（MSCs）from human umbilical cord blood in vitro, and to induce osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation directly for identification. Methods Human umbilical cord blood was collected in asepsis condition, isolated by density gradient centrifugation,or sedimented red cell with methylcellulose, and then the same centrifugation was done, or obtained by negative immunodepletion of CD34+. These isolated mononuclear cells were used to carry on plastic adherent culture. To obtain single cellderived colonies, these cells were proliferated clonally in medium which consists of L-DMEM orMesencultTM medium and 10% fetal calf serum（FCS） respectively, then their differentiation potentiality to osteoblasts and lipoblasts was tested. Results The mononuclear cells isolated by sedimented and centrifugated way cultured in MesencultTM medium and 10%FCS were most available. These adhesive cells could become obviously short rodshape or shuttle-shape cells after 5-7 days.The colonies form well in 3rdpassage cells. The mononuclear cells obtained by onlycentrifugalized in density gradient were hard to form colony, isolated by immunomagnetic beads were hard to culture. The surface antigens of these colonies cells presented CD29, CD59, CD71 but not CD34,CD45 and HLADR etc. The colony cells differentiating into osteoblasts that produce mineralized matrices, stained by alizarin red, and differentiating into adipocytes that accumulate lipid vacuoles, stained by oil red. Conclusion MSCs can be isolated from human umbilical cord blood and proliferate it in vitro. The way that mononuclear cells are sedimented red cell by methylcellulose and cultured by MesencultTM medium and 10% FCS is the valid method of isolation. Proliferation colonies cells present matrix cell immunophenotypes, and candifferentiate into osteoblasts and adipocytes.
In 1984, according to the criteria of the classifieation for congenital hand deformity which wasput out by the International Hand Surgery Committee, we had made an investigation for congenitalhand deformity among 318066 newborns in Shanghai. It was found that the inctdence of a congenitalhand malformation was 0. 0808 percent among the total newborns. The congenital malformation ofthe thumb was 37. 74 percent of all deformities of the hand. According to the statistical analysis, we ...
Objective To assess the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) in reducing the need for exchange transfusion in neonates with proven haemolytic disease due to Rh and/or ABO incompatibility. To evaluate the effectiveness of IVIG in reducing the duration of phototherapy and hospital stay. Methods We electronically searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE (1966 to May 2008), EMBASE (1992 to May 2008), CBMdisc (November 1979 to May 2008), and also checked the reference lists of all papers identified. According to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of interventions, randomized controlled trials comparing IVIG and phototherapy with phototherapy alone in neonates with Rh and/or ABO incompatibility were identified and analyzed. Results Six RCTs were included. The meta-analysis showed that, IVIG can significantly decrease the requirements of exchange transfusion (RR=0.27, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.42), the duration of hospitalization (WMD= –1.11, 95%CI –1.60 to –0.63) and the duration of phototherapy (WMD= –0.82, 95%CI –1.16 to –0.47). Conclusions Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is recommended for treating hemolytic disease of the newborn because it is effective in decreasing the requirements of exchange transfusion, the duration of hospitalization and phototherapy. Well designed studies with large sample in multi-center are required for further proving.
Objective To investigate the role of low-dose heparin added to total nutrient admixture (TNA) solutions in the prevention of catheter related infections (CRIs). Methods One-hundred three newborn infants with periph-erally inserted central catheter (PICC) were divided into heparin group (n=63) and control group (n=40). The patients in the heparin group received TNA with 0.5 U/ ml heparin. The patients in the control group received TNA without heparin. We retrospectively analyzed the incidence of CRTs in the two groups. Results We found that the incidence of CRIs was 0 in the heparin group and 12.5% (5/40) in the control group. The incidence of catheter obstruction was 6.3% (4/63) in the heparin group and 20% (8/40) in the control group. The incidence of catheter-tip colonization was 1.58% (1/40) in the heparin group and 17.5% (7/40) in the control group. The incidences of CRIs, catheter obstruction, and catheter-tip colonization were signiicantly lower in the heparin group than those in the control group (Plt;0.05). Conclusion TNA solutions with 0.5U/ml heparin have decreased catheter obstruction and CRIs.

ObjectiveTo sum up experiences of precaution and provide evidence to prevent such accidents in the future via analyzing the nosocomial infection in newborn babies who were infected by rotavirus. MethodsWe investigated and monitored the 8 cases of nosocomial infection occurred between July 7th and July 14th, 2012 by epidemiologic and environmental hygienic methods, and analyzed the existing risk factors and took measures to control. ResultsThere were 8 nosocomial infected cases among the 45 newborn babies who were hospitalized. The infection rate was 17.8% and the accident lasted for 7 days. The distribution of space, time and population was clustered. Environment and hands were the main media to spread the virus. ConclusionThe accident was a suspected nosocomial infection caused by rotavirus in the hospital. It can be controlled effectively through intensive cleaning and sterilizing, isolated touching, and improving the medical staff's compliance and accuracy rate of hand sanitation.
Objective To systematically review the diseases constitution of children in Chinese medical institutions from 2010 to 2016, and to provide evidence for establishing essential medicine list for children (EMLc) of China. Methods We searched PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data from January 2010 to February 2016 to collect studies about diseases constitution of Chinese children. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk bias of included studies, then data was descriptively analyzed. Results A total of 33 studies of diseases constitution were included, involving 1 797 696 children among 0 to 18 years from 17 provinces of China. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal pneumonia and premature were the main diseases of inpatient newborns. The main diseases of children hospitalized were pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection and tumor. Upper respiratory tract infection, bronchopneumonia, bronchitis and diarrhea were the main diseases of outpatients. Hyperspasmia, upper respiratory tract infection and pneumonia were the main diseases of emergency patients. Diseases constitution of different medical institution: the main diseases were pathological jaundice, neonatal asphyxia and neonatal pneumonia in both tertiary and secondary medical institution in the newborn group. In the children group, the main diseases were pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection and bronchitis in both tertiary and secondary medical institution. Besides these diseases, indigestion and fever of unknown origin were also the main diseases of primary medical institution. Disease constitution of different areas: in the newborn group, pathological jaundice, neonatal pneumonia and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia were the main diseases in coastal areas. Neonatal pneumonia, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and premature were the main diseases in inland areas. Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal pneumonia and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy were the main diseases in remote areas. In children group, pneumonia, bronchitis and premature were the main diseases in coastal areas. Pneumonia, bronchitis and hand-foot-and-mouth disease were the main diseases in inland areas. Upper respiratory tract infection, bronchopneumonia and bronchitis were the main diseases in remote areas. Conclusion Diseases constitutions of children vary in different medical institution, and because of extreme lack of date from primary medical institution, we suggest to carry out investigation in primary medical institution to provide evidence for EMLc. Diseases constitutions of children vary in different area, additions should be made according to local conditions when essential drugs of children selected. Newborn, as a special group of children, should be considered separately when EMLc of China established.
ObjectivesUsing systematic literature review to analyze the effects of levetiracetam (LEV) on neonatal safety during early pregnancy.MethodsThe scope of the literature must be English literature, published from 1997 to 2018. Meta-analysis was performed by random effects models.ResultsSeven literatures were included. A total of 672 cases exposed to LEV in treatment group and 772 234 cases in control groups were selected for meta-analysis. There was no significant difference in neonatal malignancy between treatment group and control group［OR=1.05, 95% CI (0.54, 2.02), P=0.37］. Further, we evaluated the effect of LEV monotherapy and polytherapy on neonatal safety, a total of 464 monotherapy cases and 632 polytherapy cases respectively were selected for meta-analysis. The results showed that there was no significant difference between these two therapies in neonatal malignancy ［OR=0.54, 95% CI(0.31, 0.96), P=0.32］.ConclusionsAs the papers we included, levetiracetam in the treatment of epilepsy during pregnancy is relatively safe for newborn.
