Objective:To investigate the perinatal prognosis and its impact factors for premature infants with twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) who were born at ≤34 weeks of gestation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 68 pregnancies of TTTS with gestational age ≤34 weeks at delivery, among them 106 preterm infants (TTTS group) were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2003 to February 2019. During the same period, another 178 twins without TTTS, congenital malformation, and intrauterine intervention who matched the TTTS group in maternal age (differences within two years) and gestational age (differences within one week) were assigned as non-TTTS group. Perinatal prognosis of TTTS infants born at ≤34 weeks was analyzed by comparing the differences in postnatal early complications and perinatal outcomes (survival time morn than 28 days or not) between the TTTS and non-TTTS groups, recipient and donor twins, mild and severe TTTS infants, and among TTTS infants with different intrauterine interventions. The risk factors for perinatal survival in TTTS infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks were analyzed. Two independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, rank-sum test, Chi-square test, and ordered logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results:(1) Among the 68 pregnancies, the overall perinatal survival rate of the neonates was 72.1% (98/136), the double-twin survival rate was 48.5% (33/68), and the rate of at least one survivor was 95.6% (65/68). (2) In the TTTS group, 62 were recipients and 44 were donors. Stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ TTTS was found in 41 cases (mild TTTS group) and stage Ⅲ-Ⅴ in 65 cases (severe TTTS group). (3) The rate of severe brain injury was higher in the severe-TTTS group than those in the mild-TTTS group [9.2% (6/65) vs. 0.0% (0/41), χ 2=4.01, P=0.045]. (4) Gestational age ≤28 weeks ( OR=101.90, 95% CI: 5.07-2 048.37), stage Ⅳ ( OR=14.04, 95% CI: 1.56-126.32) and stage Ⅴ TTTS ( OR=51.09, 95% CI: 3.58-728.81) were independent risk factors for death within 28 days (all P<0.05). (5) Compared with the non-TTTS group, the TTTS group had higher rates of neonatal anemia [51.9% (55/106) vs. 33.1% (59/178), χ 2=9.71], polycythemia [5.7% (6/106) vs. 0.6% (1/178), χ 2=7.18], neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension [3.8% (4/106) vs. 0.0% (0/178), χ 2=6.81], sepsis [15.1% (16/106) vs. 7.3% (13/178), χ 2=4.40], state Ⅲ or higher retinopathy of prematurity [3.8% (4/106) vs. 0.0% (0/178), χ 2=6.81], congenital cardiac structural abnormality [19.8% (21/106) vs. 0.6% (1/178), χ 2=33.45], heart failure [8.5% (9/106) vs. 0.6% (1/178), χ 2=12.29], and renal insufficiency [14.2% (15/106) vs. 1.1% (2/178), χ 2=20.04] (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the twin premature infants without TTTS, those with TTTS and ≤34 gestational age were more likely to have cardiac, cerebral, and renal complications. The more severe the TTTS, the higher the incidence of severe brain injury. TTTS preterm infants with gestational age ≤28 weeks and stage Ⅳ or above have high risk of death.

OBJECTIVE: To collect and summarize the pharmacoeconomic studies of adalimumab in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis, and to explore the economics of adamumab in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis. METHODS:Retrieved from Medline, Embase, Web of Science, VIP, CJFD and Wanfang databases, Chinese search terms included “adalimumab” “humira” “ankylosing spondylitis” “cost effectiveness” “pharmacoeconomic evaluation” “cost utility” “cost efficacy” etc. English search terms included “Adalimumab” “Humira” “Ankylosing spondylitis” “AS” “Cost effectiveness” “Pharmaceutical economic evaluation” “Pharmacoeconomics” “Cost utility” “Cost efficacy”, etc. The language is Chinese or English.The retrieval time was from January 2002 to May 2019. The pharmacoeconomic studies of adalimumab vs. traditional treatment,adalimumab vs. other biological agents in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis were collected, including cost analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-benefit analysis.The included studies were summarized in terms of countires, research method and economic evluation results. RESULTS:Six papers were included, involving six studies. The literature was mainly distributed in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands. The Markov model was most commonly used.The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of adalimumab in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis was£19 275-26 556 in UK, and adalimumab had cost-effectiveness advantage. The cost-effectiveness advantage between adalimumab and other biological agents was varied in different studies. CONCLUSIONS: Compared with conventional therapy, adalimumabhas economic advantages in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis in UK. But there was lack of relevant research in China, which needs to be carried out urgently.

Augmented renal clearance (ARC)refers to the significant enhancement of patients ’renal function ,which is manifested by the significant increase of glomerular filtration rate ,which increases the clearance of drugs ,and the effective blood drug concentration cannot be achieved under the conventional dose. The efficacy of antibiotics is closely related to the concentration. The influence of renal dysfunction on drug metabolism is an important factor that clinicians should consider when determining the dosage. This article reviews the definition ,risk factors ,occurrence mechanism ,evaluation methods of ARC ,as well as its impact on the pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics of antibiotics and administration methods. It is found that ARC widely exists in critically ill patients ,and the risk factors include age (≤50 years old ),brain trauma ,sepsis,multiple trauma , etc. When using antibiotics in ARC patients ,the therapeutic effect of drugs can be improved by increasing the dosage ,prolonging the duration of administration and increasing the frequency of administration. However ,in order to prevent adverse reactions caused by high concentration accumulation of drugs ,it is recommended to try to combine treatment drug monitoring.

【Objective】 To establish an effective method for acquiring bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) from BALB/C mice in vitro and to establish a reservoir of DC precursor cells. 【Methods】 CD117+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were isolated and purified from bone marrow of BALB/C mice by immunomagnetic beads separation system (MACS), and then amplified in vitro with mouse stem cell factor (SCF) and interleukin-3 (IL-3). HSC was induced to differentiate into DCs by adding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rmGM-CSF) and IL-4. Different cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha or IL-10) were added to control the maturity of dendritic cells. Then the morphology (electron microscopy), surface molecular markers (FACS method) and cytokine secretion level (ELISA method) were identified. 【Results】 ① The purity of CD117 + HSC isolated and purified by MACS system was over 95%. ② SCF plus IL-3 could effectively stimulate HSC amplification. ③ The morphology of mature DC (mDC) and immature DC (imDC) was significantly different under light and scanning electron microscopy. ④ In the expressions of surface markers CD40, CD80, CD86, I-A/I-E, there were significant differences between imDC group and mDC group (P<0.01). ⑤ After LPS stimulation, the secretion of IL-12 in imDC group did not change significantly (P=0.064), while the secretion of IL-12 in mDC group increased significantly (P=0.009). LPS and TNF-α had a synergistic effect in stimulating DC maturation. 【Conclusion】 Specific combinations of cytokines can effectively induce the differentiation of bone marrow HSCs into DCs in BALB/C mice, and can control the maturity of DCs. This study makes it possible to use gene modified dendritic cells in GD immunotherapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate effect of conducting training of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) early screening skill on improving the ability to early identify ASD of medical staffs in primary care hospitals. MethodsIn September 2021, the training of ASD early screening skills was carried out for medical staffs from 20 primary care hospitals in Chengdu. After training, the training effect was evaluated. The numbers of referrals from primary care hospitals to superior hospitals, confirmed ASD as well as their average diagnostic age of children with ASD before and after training were used as evaluation indicators. ResultsAfter training, the number of children with suspected ASD referred by primary care hospitals was more than that before training [(16.65±11.60) vs. (3.40±2.23), t=5.431, P<0.01], the number of children diagnosed with ASD was more than that before training[(6.85±4.93) vs. (2.45±1.67), t=4.171, P<0.01], and the differences were statistically significant. As for the diagnosed age of ASD children, after training, the average age was lower than that before training [(34.95±11.67) vs. (42.2±14.64), t=-2.553, P=0.019]. ConclusionTraining of ASD early screening skills for medical staffs in primary care hospitals may help to improve their ability to early screening ASD children.
