The relationship between serum betatrophin and early growth of fetal macrosomia / 中国新生儿科杂志

Objective To study the relationship between serum betatrophin and early growth of macrosomia.Method Full-term macrosomia born in the Maternity and Children's Branch of Ruian People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January to June 2018 followed up to 6 months and their mother were enrolled in the prospective case-control study as the fetal macrosomia group.The full-term infants appropriate for gestational age,who met all the above requirements were randomly enrolled in the AGA group in a 1∶1 ratio.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the level of blood betatrophin at birth and 6 months respectively,and the relationship between serum betatrophin level and the growth and development of infants was analyzed.Result A total of 4 823 live births were delivered during the study period,308 of them were full-term macrosomia,the incidence was 6.4％.30 cases were included in the macrosomia group and the AGA group,respectively.The level of blood betatrophin at birth and 6 months in the macrosomia group were higher than that in the AGA Group [(1 088.3 ± 67.8) ng/L vs.(929.5 ± 81.0) ng/L,(1 057.1 ± 114.2) ng/L vs.(976.4 ±76.6) ng/L],and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).The incidence of overweight was 26.7％ (8/30) in the macrosomia group and 6.7％ (2/30) in AGA group at 6 months of age,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The level of blood betatrophin in overweight infants was statistically significantly higher than that in non-overweight infants (P ＜ 0.001).There was a positive correlation (P ＜ 0.001) between the level of blood betatrophin at the age of 6 months and the weight,body length,Z-score of weight/body length,triglyceride level at birth and the age of 6 months,and the level of umbilical blood betatrophin.But it was not correlated to gender,feeding pattern,other components of blood lipid,blood glucose and insulin in the cord blood and mother's blood,and the level of blood betatrophin in mother's blood (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The betatrophin is involved in the regulation of infant growth and development,which is associated with the occurrence of overweight.

The study of auditory performance of prelingual deaf cochlear implant recipients using Chinese version of categories of auditory performance / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#Applying Chinese version of categories of auditory performance (CAP) to assess cochlear implant (CI) recipients of prelingual deaf and test the reliability of Chinese version of CAP.@*METHOD@#Fifty CI recipients of prelingual deaf were interviewed by a parent and a speech therapist using Chinese version of CAP. Kappa coefficient analysis was applied to test the reliability of Chinese version of CAP.@*RESULT@#Thirty-five of 50 cases (70%) were found completely coincident, 12 cases (24%) were one category different, 3 cases (6%) were 2 categories different. Kappa coefficient was 0.624.@*CONCLUSION@#Chinese version of CAP was found reliable and useful to evaluate auditory performance of prelingual deaf pediatric after cochlear implantation.

Application of acupressure of Neiguan and Hegu point in gastric intubation / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To observe the effect of acupressure to relieve the adverse effect of patients and success rate of intubation during gastric tube insertion. Methods We divided 90 pancreatitis patients into the observation group and the control group randomly with 45 cases in each group.Routine intubation method was used in the control group.While in the observation group we gave acupressure of Neiguan and Hegu point based in the routine method.Then we compared the changes in heart rate,bucking,nausea,vomiting and other adverse effect as well as the one-time success rate of intubation.Results Changes in heart rate before and after intubation in the control group were significantly different(P<0.05).The incidence rate of adverse effect in the control group was 51.1%and rate of repeated intubation was 26.7%.In the observation group changes in heart rate was not evident(P>0.05).The incidence rate of adverse effect in the observation group was 4.4%and the one-time success rate of intubation was 97.8%.Conclusion It proved effective to use acupressure of Neiguan and Hegu point during gastric intubation for gastrointestinal decompression.
