    【Objective】 Through researching the characteristics and prognostic influential factors of the hospitalized infants with congenital digestive tract malformation aged 0~3 months, the present study aims at providing a scientific guideline for the establishment of an effective emergency rescue system for it. 【Methods】 Subjects were 466 hospitalized infants with congenital digestive tract malformation in the Neonatal Surgery Department of Hunan Children's Hospital within one year. Their basic features and influential factors on the outcome of these infants were analyzed by the approaches of single factor logistic regression analysis and multiple factor logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 The number of infants with congenital digestive tract malformation was 466, with 332 boys (71.24%) and 134 girls (28.76%), and with 367 rural patients (78.76%) and 99 urban patients (21.24%). The rural patients were much easier to suffer from such complications than urban patients as fluid and electrolyte imbalance, pneumonia, peritonitis, digestive tract perforation, malnutrition and so on. 385 cases of the patients were cured, accounting for 82.62%; 13 cases (2.79%) got better; 32 cases (6.87%) gave up and 36 cases (7.73%) died. And among the dead cases, there were 32 rural patients and 4 urban patients. The fatality rate of infants in rural areas was higher than that in urban areas. Through the application of single factor logistic regression analysis, the influential factors on the outcome of hospitalized infants with congenital digestive tract malformation were infectious shock, respiratory failure, septicemia, DIC, scleredema etc. Through the application of the multiple factor logistic regression analysis, the influential factors were respiratory failure, digestive tract perforation, septicemia and onset of disease. 【Conclusions】 The prognosis of congenital digestive tract malformation is closely related to such factors as infectious shock, respiratory failure, digestive tract perforation, septicemia, DIC, scleredema and so on. Countryside is the emphasis of prevention and treatment of congenital digestive tract malformation. In order to elevate the recovery rate, we should carry out prenatal diagnosis and early diagnose, popularize the knowledge of diagnose digestive tract malformation in countryside, give early operations and raise the level of treatment of the hospital.

    【Objective】 To investigate the effects of feeding in different ways on physical development and serum index of preterm infants. 【Methods】 91 preterm infants whose birth weights were all above 1 500 g. Infants were divided into 5 groups by following feeding ways: preterm-infant formula; term-infant formula; preterm-infant formula and breast milk; breast milk; term-infant formula and breast milk. Weights, lengths were measured at 4~6 months adjusted by gestational age. Z-score of weights and lengths were calculated. Serum total protein, albumin, and micronutrients etc were detected. 【Results】 The Z-score of weights and lengths in Group 4 were blow zero, and lower than other groups. But the differences were not significant ( P>0.05). The serum levels of BUN in Group 4 was significant lower than other groups ( P<0.05) and was significant higher in Group 2 than Group 3, Group 4, Group 5 ( P<0.05). The serum levels of albumin in Group 1 and Group 5 were significant higher than other groups ( P<0.05), but were similar between the two group ( P=0.947). There were no significant differences in other serum index levels among the groups ( P>0.05). The levels of serum BUN were correlated with the Z-score of length ( r=0.228, P=0.04). 【Conclusion】 1) Exclusive breast feeding can not provide enough nutrients for matching the early growth and development of preterm infants; 2) Further study will be needed to investigate the mechanisms and long effects of high serum BUN levels in preterm infants feeding with term-infant formula.

    【Objective】 To identify patterns of mother-infant attachment in Shanghai and to explore relevant influence factors. 【Methods】 The subjects included 160 healthy infant-mother dyads. Infant-mother attachment was assessed with Ainsworth's Strange Situation Strategy; Maternal sensitivity and Parental marital quality were assessed with Maternal Behavior Q-sort Manual Version 3.1 and Olson's marital questionnaire, respectively. A self-formulated questionnaire of family environment factors was completed by the infant's mother. 【Results】 Among the 160 infants, 68.2% were rated as securely attached(B) and 31.8% as insecurely attached. Of those infants rated as insecurely attached, 7.5% were characterised as avoidant(A), 21.8% as resistant(C) and 2.5% as disorganized(D). Maternal sensitivity and marital satisfaction were significantly different between securely attached infants and insecurely attached infants. Moreover, multiple caregivers in the family and infant's sleeping with other caregivers at night were more likely to be associated with insecure infant-mother attachment. 【Conclusions】 Maternal sensitivity and marital satisfaction are the important factors that influence infant-mother attachment relationship. Meanwhile, the association of high involvement of other caregivers in the family with insecure mother-infant attachment cannot be ignored. It is necessary to pay more attention to children's early attachment development and promote further studies on the subject in China.
