3.Influence of maternal H1N1 influenza on perinatal outcomes
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine 2010;13(5):371-374
Objective To discuss the influence of H1N1 influenza on maternal and fetal outcomes and obstetric management. Methods Totally, data were collected on 19 women, affected by H1N1 influenza and admitted to Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from November 7, 2009 to December 15,2009, and retrospective analysis was performed on the maternal and fetal outcomes. Results Among the 19 cases, three were( 15. 8%, 3/19) in puerperium, who were all mild cases and recovered. Sixteen (84.2%, 16/19)women were diagnosed as H1N1 influenza during pregnancy, among which two in early pregnancy (12. 5%), seven (43. 8%) in mid-term pregnancy and seven (43. 8%) in late pregnancy. According to the severity of H1N1 influenza, six were mild cases (37. 5% ,6/16), two (12. 5% ,2/16)were severe cases and eight (50. 0% ,8/16)were critical. For these 16 pregnant women, thc two cases in early pregnancy (mild cases) were terminated after recovery from H1N1 influenza. Among the seven mid-term cases, four mild and one of the three severe and critical cases delivered till term, and two of the three severe and critical cases were delivered abdominally because of fetal death intrauterine or maternal severe complications at 27 or 23 weeks of gestation. All of the seven late pregnant cases underwent emergent cesarean section due to maternal or fetal reasons, and two fetuses died in the uterus at late pregnancy and five survived including four preterm babies and one full term baby. Altogether, nine cases (56. 3%, 9/16)underwent emergent cesarean section, and six babies born alive and five survived without any symptom of influenza, two women died (10. 5%,2/19) after the operation. Conclusions Pregnant women during late pregnancy infected by H1N1 influenza are susceptible to develop into severe and critical conditions. Termination of the pregnancy in time is effective in both life-saving of the mothers and babies and prevent neonatal infection against H1N1.

Results the incidence of the SGA in twins was 10.89%. the protective factors were male fetus,assisted reproductive technology(ARt)and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). the risk factors were the female fetus and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Conclusion the gender of fetus,assisted reproductive technology(ARt),gestation-al diabetes mellitus(GDM),hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy are the influential factors of the SGA in twins. We recommend a further pre-pregnancy and pregnancy care which is of significance for the prevention of SGA.
5.Transcription factor TBX20 and pathogenesis of congenital heart disease
International Journal of Pediatrics 2021;48(5):302-305
TBX20 gene, a member of the T-box gene family, plays an important role during heart development and is required for maintaining adult heart function.TBX20 can act as both transcriptional activator and transcriptional suppressor during the development of the heart, and shows complex spatiotemporal regulation.TBX20 is an important candidate transcription factor for the pathogenesis of congenital heart disease(CHD), and its mutation or expression change can lead to the occurrence of CHD.In this paper, the latest research progress of TBX20 gene in the field of heart development is reviewed from the relationship between TBX20 and CHD, the signaling pathway involved in heart development and its interactions with other cardiac transcription factors.
