Plasma thrombomodulin level in very low birthweight infants at birth

Objective: Plasma soluble thrombomodulin level reflects endothelial damage. The plasma thrombomodulin level at birth is increased in asphyxiated full-term infants. There is no report of plasma thrombomodulin level in premature infants. To determine the thrombomodulin level in premature infants and whether it might reflect endothelial damage, we examined the plasma thrombomodulin level in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants at birth. Methods: Forty-five VLBW infants, of whom 14 had perinatal asphyxia complications, were recruited. As a control, 50 full-term infants wimout complications were also studied. Plasma thrombomodulin concentration, pH, base deficit, serum creatinine and D-dimer concentration, platelet count and fibrinogen concentration were measured within 1 hour after birth. Results: There were significant differences in plasma pH, creatinine concentration, platelet count, antithrombin in activity and D-dimer concentration between VLBW infants and full-term infants. Plasma thrombomodulin concentration (39. 0 (16. 6–93. 7) vs 27. 0 (16. 6–39. 1) μg/L, p < 0. 0001) and plasma taombomodulin-to-serum creatinine ratio (0. 82 (0. 19–2. 65) vs 0. 47 (0. 24–0. 70) μg/μmol, p < 0. 0001) were significantly higher in VLBW infants than those in full-term infants. By univariate analyses for all neonates, there were significant relations between plasma thrombomodulin concentration and gestational age, birthweight, plasma pH, creatinine concentration, platelet count and antithrombin in activity. A stepwise multiple linear regression model using the above variables as dependent factors showed only birthweight contributed significantly to plasma thrombomodulin concentration (plasma thrombomodulin concentration (μg/1) = 45. 677–0. 006 (birthweight; g), r²= 0. 323, p < 0. 0001, n= 94). Plasma thrombomodulin concentration and plasma thrombomodulin-to -serum creatinine ratio in VLBW infants with asphyxia were higher than in those without asphyxia, but not significantly different (43. 2 ± 17. 7 vs 38. 3 ± 8. 5 μg/1 and 0. 92 ± 0. 60 vs 0. 83 ± 0. 37 μg/μmol). Conclusion: Plasma thrombomodulin level in VLBW infants shows a high value at birth, and we consider the main factor responsible for this elevation may be endothelial damage or low clearance rate of thrombomodulin, which may be related to early gestational age.     

Reversible changes in cerebral activity associated with acidosis in preterm neonates

Murdoch Eaton DG, Wertheim D, Oozeer R, Dubowitz LMS, Dubowitz V. Reversible changes in cerebral activity associated with acidosis in preterm neonates. Acta Paediatr 1994;83:486–92. Stockholm. ISSN 0803–5253
Computerized online EEG monitoring in ventilated preterm infants less than 32 weeks' gestation enabled evaluation of the effect of acidosis on cerebral function. All episodes of acidosis were found to be associated with changes in the levels of cerebral activity. In 21 of the 32 episodes, EEG activity returned to pre-acidosis levels after therapeutic intervention. The duration of EEG abnormality was related to the severity of acidosis. However, the time to recovery of the EEG after therapeutic procedures was not related to duration of the EEG change.     

Autopsy findings in two cases of neonatal herpes simplex virus infection: detection of virus by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and the polymerase chain reaction

We describe the pathological findings in two fatal cases of neonatal infection with herpes simplex virus. One had an encephalitis caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2); the other had a disseminated infection with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Confirmation of the diagnosis was obtained by use of the polymerase chain reaction to amplify viral DNA from paraffin sections of autopsy tissues. By using primers which amplify fragments of the HSV-1 thymidine kinase gene and HSV-2 glycoprotein gene respectively it was possible to discriminate between infection with HSV-1 and HSV-2. In contrast, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization using commercially available reagents did not distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection. However, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization are probably more reliable than the polymerase chain reaction for assessment of the distribution of virus in different tissues.

Effet apaisant du sucre chez le nouveau-né: revue de la littérature

Résumé  Le saccharose, administré à une concentration d’au moins 12% chez le nouveau-né à terme (24% chez le prématuré), en petite quantité (0,05 à 2 ml), dans une seringue ou mieux dans une tétine, 2 minutes avant la réalisation d’un soin douloureux avec effraction cutanée (microprélèvement, ponction veineuse), permet de réduire, plus rarement d’abolir, les comportements de détresse et/ou de douleur (pleurs et manifestations faciales). Il s’agit d’un moyen simple, non médicamenteux, et utilisable partout, qui doit pouvoir représenter une aide non négligeable chez les nouveau-nés, pour la prise en charge de la douleur provoquée par des soins modérément douloreux. Il peut être utilisé seul, mais son action limitée rend préférable de l’envisager comme technique adjuvante. Son mode d’action reste encore peu clair, ainsi que sa tolérance en cas d’administrations pluri-quotidiennes.

Summary  Sucrose of at least 12% concentration delivered to full-term infants (24% concentration for preterm infants), in a small volume of 0.05 to 2 ml, through a syringue or better through a pacifier, 2 minutes before blood sample such as heel-stick or venipuncture, can attenuate or hardly abolish stress and/ or pain (crying and facial expressions). It is a simple non pharmacological treatment, helpful in the management of pain related to moderate painful procedures. As it exerts moderate effects, it is better used as an adjuvant treatment than used alone. Mechanisms of effects are not clear yet, as well as the occurrence of adverse effects when repeated daily administrations.

早产儿与足月新生儿血清脂联素水平比较

目的探讨早产对血清脂联素水平的影响及早产成为成人期2型糖尿病、心血管疾病发生的重要危险因素可能机制。方法 采用放射免疫分析法,测定30例正常足月新生儿和21例早产儿血清脂联素水平结果早产儿血清脂联素水平(34.29±7.24)mg/L,正常足月新生儿血清脂联素水平(62。47±28.33)mg/L,早产儿血清脂联素水平显著低于足月新生儿(P<0.001);血清脂联素水平与胎龄(r-0.386 P<0.005)、出生体质量(r=0.432 P<0.005)均呈显著正相关 结论 早产儿具有较低血清脂联素水平;胎儿宫内发育不良引起早产或低出生体质量,进而降低其血清脂联素水平,可能是该群体日后发生2型糖尿病、动脉粥样硬化、代谢综合征的重要危险因素
