    Abstract ( )  
    Abstract Objective To study the incidence,risk factors,prophylaxis and treatment for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature.Methods From June 1999 to June 2004 seventytwo prematures with gestational age less than 32 weeks,birth weight less than 2000 grams and surviving more than 28 days were enrolled in the study.Fifteen prematures with BPD were compared to thirty one prematures without BPD in terms of sex,gestational age,birth weight,usage of prenatal steroids,usage of postnatal surfactant,hyaline membrane disease,duration of mechanical ventilation,supportive conditions for ventilation,gastroesophageal reflux,patent ductus arteriosus,fluid intake in the first few days and recurrent pneumonia.Results The overall incidence of BPD in preterm newborns was 20.83%,and 38.71% in those infants weighting <1500g at birth;Fio2,PIP,PEEP and MAP were all not statistically significant between BPD group and control (P>0.05);Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that gestational age less than 30 weeks,birth weight less than 1250 grams,prolonged mechanical ventilation (≥10days) and recurrent pneumonia were independent risk factors for BPD (P<0.05).Other factors including sex,usage of prenatal steroids,usage of postnatal surfactant,hyaline membrane disease,gastroesophageal reflux and excessive fluid intake in the first few days of life were not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion Preventing small gestational age and low birth weight prematurity,shortening the duration of mechanical ventilation and controlling pneumonia were effective in preventing BPD.

    2005, 20(07): 413-415 . 
    Abstract ( )  
    Abstract ObjectiveTo investigate the thyroid function in the premature infants.MethodsFrom Oct.2004 to Oct.2005 serum free triodothyrorine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4) and thyrotropin (TSH) in 60 premature infants on the 1st,7th days after birth were detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and were compared with those in 30 normal neonate controls.The 60 premature infants were divided into two groups according to the gestational age:the very premature infants (the group A,less than 34 weeks of gestational age,n1=30) and the older gestational age infants (the group B,34~41 weeks of gestational age,n2=30).ResultsThe serum concentrations of FT3,FT4,TSH showed a declining tendency in all neonates from the 1st day to the 7th day after birth.The serum concentrations of FT3,FT4 on the 1st and 7th day after birth were significantly higher in the controls than those in group A and group B,and those in group B were also significantly higher than those in group A.The serum TSH on the 1st and 7th day after birth were significantly higher in the controls than those in both group A and B,and those in group A were also significantly higher than those in group B.On the 7th day after birth,the serum TSH in group A were higher than those in group B and controls,whereas the serum TSH were not significantly different between group B and controls.ConclusionThe thyroid function in the premature infants is transiently low.The shorter the gestational age,the lower the thyroid function and the longer the stress reaction.

    Abstract ( )  
    Abstract Objective To explore the relationship between the rapid changes in CO2 and pH value and neurologic injury in asphyxia infants in presence of severe academia. Methods Umbilical arterial blood and radial arterial blood at postnatal 1,2h were checked in 55 infants.These infants were categortized in three groups:Ⅰ,pH>7.00,normal neurologic examination without respiration support;Ⅱ,identification to Ⅰexcept pH≤7.00;Ⅲ,pH≤7.00,abnormal neurologic examination with mechanical ventilation. Results Umbilical arterial blood pH was significantly different in Ⅲ vs Ⅰ and in Ⅱ vs Ⅲ.PaCO2 was significantly different in Ⅲ vs Ⅱ vs Ⅰ.At postnatal 1h pH increased and PaCO2 decreased in all groups,significant differences in three group remained.At postnatal 2h,no differences were observed for pH and PaCO2 in Ⅱand Ⅲ,there was different neurologic prognosis among groups.Apgar score was lower in Ⅲ. Conclusion After delivery pH and PaCO2 have rapid changes in presence of severe academia.Lower pH and Apgar score with mechanical ventilation are poor prognosis factors of neurologic result.

    2005, 20(07): 431-432 . 
    Abstract ( )  
    Abstract Objective To evaluate the accuracy and clinical value of transthoracic threedimensional echocardiographic (3DE) quantitative analysis in ventricular septal defect (VSD) of conotruncal defects (CTD).Methods From May 2000 to November 2003 in Shanghai Children Medical Center,there were 63 inpatients of CTD with all quantitative findings measured by 3DE,twodimensional echocardiography (2DE),angiocardiography and surgical findings.Their measurements of VSD sizes and areas with 3DE were compared with those with 2DE,angiocardiography and surgical findings.Results From the analysis of variance,StudentNewmanKeuls (SNK) test and correlation analysis,the measurements of VSD long diameter (mean 1.69cm in enface view of ventricular septa from right ventricle and 1.63 cm in enface view of ventricular septa from left ventricle) with 3DE was less than the measurements of VSD diameter (mean 1.84 cm) with surgical findings,but they were better correlated with those with surgical findings (r=0.74) than the measurements of VSD diameter (mean 1.27 cm) with 2DE (r=0.39) and those (mean 1.12 cm) with angiocardiography (r=0.25).However,the measurements of VSD short diameter with 3DE was close to those with angiocardiography,and there was no significant difference (P>0.05) between them.The measurements of VSD short diameter with 3DE were better correlated with those with 2DE and angiocardiography than the measurements of VSD long diameter with 3DE.Meanwhile,the measurements of VSD area with 3DE were well correlated with the measurements of VSD diameter with surgical findings (r=0.57).Conclusion 3DE can provide more accurate quantitative diagnosis in CTD VSD than 2DE.

    Abstract ( )  
    Abstract Objective To analyse the reasons of acute lung injury (ALI) after the surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and summarize the postoperative treatment skill.Methods There were 161 cases of patients with TOF who underwent corrective repair operation in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Xinhua Hospital/ Shanghai Children’s Medical Center from Jul.2003 to Jun.2004,in which there were 5 patients who developed ALI after the surgical correction of TOF.The mean age was 13.8±3.06 months (7~24 months) and the mean body weight was (8.20±0.46)kg (7~9.5kg).Before operation,their mean SpO2 was (72.8±2.2)% (67%~80%),mean HCT was (49.0±5.5)%,mean McGoon ratio was (1.27±0.05) and mean PAI was (136.0±16.8)mm2/m2.The total cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and aortic clamp time were (67.2±3.9) min and (43.6±2.4) min,respectively.The modified ultrafiltration was used throughout the CPB.The treatment and the blood analysis were recorded when the ALI developed.The parameters of pulmonary function and lung injury score were calculated.Results ALI developed (30.0±9.7) hrs after the operation and the incidence of ALI after the surgical correction of TOF was 3.1%.Two cases died within 48 hrs.Peritoneal dialysis (PD) was performed on all the cases.Meanwhile,2 cases were given inhaled nitric oxide (NO) and 1 case was given pulmonary surfactant (PS).The parameters of pulmonary function were improved step by step and the differences were statistically significant at the latest stage of treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion The treatment of ALI after surgical correction of TOF includes reasonable mechanical ventilation and maintaining the balance of fluid.Inhaling NO and using PS will be benefitial to improve the pulmonary function and to stop the vicious circle which results in the hypoxemia and refractory acidosis.
