    Abstract Background: This meta-analysis aimed to identify the near- and long-term neurodevelopmental prognoses of preterm or low birth weight (LBW) infants with different severities of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH).
    Methods: Four databases were searched for observational studies that were qualified using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
    Results: 37 studies involving 32,370 children were included. Compared to children without IVH, children with mild IVH had higher incidences of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI), cerebral palsy (CP), motor/cognitive delay, hearing impairment and visual impairment, as well as lower scores of the mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor development (PDI). Moreover, compared to mild IVH, severe IVH increased susceptibilities of children to NDI, motor delay, CP, hearing impairment and visual impairment, with worse performances in MDI, PDI, motor score and IQ. Mild IVH was not associated with seizures or epilepsy.
    Conclusions: Adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes positively associated with the occurrence and severity of IVH in preterm or LBW infants, providing evidence for counseling and further decisions regarding early therapeutic interventions.
    Impact: Adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes later in life were closely associated with the occurrence and severity of IVH in preterm or LBW infants. Our results highlight the importance to make prediction of the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children born preterm or LBW with a history of IVH, which will guide affected parents when their children need clinical interventions to reach the full potential. We emphasize the importance of identifying specific developmental delays that may exist in children with IVH, providing detailed information for the development of comprehensive intervention measures.

    Abstract Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that utilizes the speaker's speech segments to recognize the identity, determining whether the test speaker belongs to one of the enrolled speakers. In order to improve the robustness of the i-vector framework on cross-channel conditions and explore the nova method for applying deep learning to speaker recognition, the Stacked Auto-encoders are used to get the abstract extraction of the i-vector instead of applying PLDA. After pre-processing and feature extraction, the speaker and channel-independent speeches are employed for UBM training. The UBM is then used to extract the i-vector of the enrollment and test speech. Unlike the traditional i-vector framework, which uses linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to reduce dimension and increase the discrimination between speaker subspaces, this research use stacked auto-encoders to reconstruct the i-vector with lower dimension and different classifiers can be chosen to achieve final classification. The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better performance than the state-of-the-art method.

    Abstract Background: Central nervous system (CNS) infections are relatively rare but are associated with high mortality worldwide. Empirical antimicrobial therapy is crucial for the survival of patients with CNS infections, and should be based on the knowledge of the pathogen distribution and antibiotic sensitivities. The aim of this study was to investigate the features of pathogens in patients with CNS infections in North China and evaluate the risk factors for mortality and multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections.
    Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with patients with positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures in a teaching hospital from January 2012 to December 2019. The following data were collected: demographic characteristics, laboratory data, causative organisms and antimicrobial sensitivity results. Data were analyzed with SPSS 16.0. Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for mortality and MDR bacterial infections.
    Results: A total of 72 patients were diagnosed with CNS infections, and 86 isolates were identified. The proportions of Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and fungi were 59.3, 30.2 and 10.5%, respectively. The predominant Gram-positive bacteria was Coagulase-negative Staphylococci. Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. were the predominant Gram-negative bacteria. Compared to 2012-2015 years, the proportion of Gram-negative bacteria increased markedly during 2016-2019 years. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Enterococcus faecium had 100% sensitivity to vancomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid. Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 100% sensitive to tigecycline. Escherichia coli had 100% sensitivity to amikacin, meropenem and imipenem. The overall mortality rate in the 72 patients was 30.6%. In multivariate analysis, age > 50 years, pulmonary infections and CSF glucose level < the normal value were associated with poor outcomes. CSF adenosine deaminase level > the normal value and the presence of external ventricular drainage/lumbar cistern drainage were associated with MDR bacterial infections.
    Conclusions: The mortality rate due to CNS infections reached 30.6% in our study. The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria has increased markedly in recent years. We should give particular attention to patients with risk factors for mortality and MDR bacterial infections mentioned above.

    Abstract Background: Hypoxia can threaten the metabolic functions of different systems in immature neonates, particularly the central nervous system. The red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has recently been reported as a prognostic factor in neurologic diseases.

    Abstract Malnutrition is a common complication in the dialysis population, both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis (PD). We report our exploratory study on the characteristics of intestinal microbiota and nutritional status in PD patients. The nutritional status of our PD patients were evaluated, and their feces were collected for 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 regions amplification and high-throughput sequencing. The characteristics and differences of microbiota between the well-nourished (W) and malnourished (M) groups were compared. We studied the genera and the operational taxonomic units (OTUs) within the genus of our patients, initially comparing the malnourished and the well- nourished groups and later on reanalyzing the whole group using these OTUs. At the OTU level, 6 bacteria were significantly correlated with the serum albumin level. The abundances of 2 OTUs (OTU208 Lachnospiraceae_incertae_sedi and OTU4 Bacteroides) were more in W group. Meanwhile, 4 OTUs (OTU225 Akkermansia, OTU87 Megasphaera, OTU31 Peptostreptococcaceae_incertae_sedi and OTU168 Clostridium_sensu_strictu) displayed higher abundance among individuals in M group. Notably, the OTU168 Clostridium_sensu_stricto was the only bacteria that significantly correlated with serum albumin (r = - 0.356, P = 0.05), pre-albumin (r = - 0.399, P = 0.02), and SGA (r = 0.458, P = 0.01). The higher the OTU168 Clostridium_sensu_strictu, the lower serum albumin and pre-albumin and a higher score of SGA signifying a worse nutritional status. Our preliminary findings suggested a relationship between the nutrition status and microbiota in PD patients. Our results provide a basis for further exploration of the interactions between malnutrition and intestinal flora in PD patients with potential interventions using probiotics and prebiotics.
