Objective To investigate whether no asphyxia neonates with intrauterine distress are complicated with myocardial injury and determine the sensitive biochemical diagnostic parameters. Methods A total of 89 neonates born in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2009 to December 2009 were enrolled. Fifty-three fetal distress cases with Apgar score > 7 at 1 and 5 minites were enrolled in the study group; while the rest 36 healthy neonates, whose Apgar score = 10 at 1 and 5 minites, were the control group. Umbilical artery blood samples of all cases were collected for blood gas analysis and biochemical measurement. Results(1)pH(7.23±0.07) and BE [(-4.8±3.0)mmol/L] in the study group were significantly lower than pH (7.31 ±0.03) and BE [(-2.1±1.5)mmol/L] in the control group (P<0.05).The lactic acid of study group [(5.2±2.3)mmol/L] was higher than that of the control group [(2.3±1.1)mmol/L], and the difference was significant (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in PaO2[(16.2±7.9)mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) vs. (17.5±6.7)mm Hg] and PaCO2[(54.0±11.2)mm Hg vs. (48.5±5.4) mm Hg; P>0. 05]. (2) The level of CK-MB in neonates with fetal distress[(48 ±59) U/L] was significantly higher than that of healthy neonates [(36±27)U/L]. However, no significant difference was found in CK [(194±73)U/L vs. (162±95) U/L]and BNP levels[(519±309)ng/L vs.(481±216)ng/L;P > 0.05]. (3) Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that CK-MB level was negatively correlated with pH(r=-0.296, P<0.05) and BE (r=-0.318,P<0.05) of umbilical artery blood,while BNP level was positively correlated with umbilical lactic acid (r=0.278, P<0.05). No correlation was found between other parameters (P>0.05).Conclusions Intrauterine distress without neonatal asphyxia had effect on fetal myocardial injury. CK-MB can be used as a sensitive parameter for monitoring the development of myocardial injury. The severity of myocardial injury was related to fetal acidosis.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of low-dose rituximab therapy and sequential maintenance for patients with refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Methods Thirty-three patients with refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura received intravenous rituximab at the dose of 100 mg once a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Complete blood cell count and serum concentrations of immunoglobulin (IgG,IgM and IgA) were monitored regularly. The numbers of CD3+ and CD19+ CD20+ lymphocyte cells were assayed by flow cytometry before and after therapy. Twenty-five patients with responses(complete response and response) were divided into maintained group (12 patients) and control group (13 patients) by random digits table method. The patients in maintained group were treated with rituximab 100 mg every 6 months. The efficacy of maintenance therapy was evaluated through long-term follow-up. Results The complete response(CR) rate, response (R) rate and no response(NR) rate were 48.48%(16/33), 27.27%(9/33) and 24.24% (8/33), respectively. As a result, total effective rate was 75.76% (25/33). There were no significant changes of peripheral blood white blood cell count,hemoglobin,serum immunoglobulin and CD3+lymphocyte counts before and after treatment (P>0.05). However, CD19+ CD20+ cells were almost depleted in patients treated with rituximab: (3.71±2.64)×106/L vs. (279.33±92.78)×106/L, P<0.01. Five patients suffered from allergic response, and 1 patient developed pneumonia and respiratory failure. The relapse rates of maintained group and control group were 1/12 and 4/13, respectively. Conclusions Treatment with low-dose rituximab may be an effective and safe approach in patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Relapse rates can be decreased through maintenance therapy with refractory low-dose rituximab. However, the optimal therapeutic schedule need further investigation.
