To investigate the effects of early-onset sepsis (EOS) on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely premature infants (EPIs) by using propensity score matching (PSM). Clinical data of 591 EPIs admitted to NICU, Senior Department of Pediatric, PLA General Hospital from May 1, 2015 to May 1, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into an EOS group and a non-EOS group according to whether they had confirmed EOS or not.

- Vaccination is key in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections, especially in vulnerable preterm-born children, but there is a lack of research on its effectiveness in this group.
- A study involving 242 preterm-born children aged 3-7 years in China examined the impact of two inactivated vaccines (BBIBP-CorV and CoronaVac) after COVID-19 control measures were relaxed.
- Results indicated that vaccination significantly reduced the risk of symptomatic COVID-19 and related complications like pneumonia, fever, and persistent symptoms in these children.
Background: Invasive fungal infection (IFI) has become an increasing problem in NICU neonates, and end-organ damage (EOD) from IFI is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates. This study was conducted to summarize clinical data on epidemiology, risk factors, causative pathogens, and clinical outcomes of IFI-associated EOD among neonates in a center in China for the sake of providing references for prevention and treatment of fungal infections in neonates in future.
Methods: The clinical data of IFI neonates who received treatment in a tertiary NICU of China from January 2009 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including causative pathogens and the incidence of EOD.
Background: Infantile pneumonia is a respiratory infection disease, seriously threatening the life of neonatal patients. Circular RNA (circRNA) dysregulation is reported to be involved in pneumonia pathogenesis. Circ_0012535 was previously displayed to be upregulated in blood samples of patients with community-acquired pneumonia.

Aim: To investigate the influence of paraclorophenol (pCP) on dendritic cells loading and presenting HBsAg from peripheral blood monocytes of healthy volunteers identified as hepatitis B vaccine nonresponders.
Methods: The density gradient centrifugation was performed to isolate mononuclear cells from 10 hepatitis B vaccine nonresponders. The adherent monocytes were incubated with HBsAg adding rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4 in the presence of absence of pCP for 7 days.
