A total of 526 team members from 28 community health service (CHS) centers in 5 pilot cities were surveyed by a questionnaire.All CHS centers developed team service.And 275 service teams were established and the coverage rate of area resident committee was 100％.The teaming modes were mainly divided into four kinds:medical-nursing-prevention classic combination,big team professional expansion,small team medical combination and non-health technology extensive participation.The team services showed multiple advantages of professionism,energy and time complementing.We should strengthen team construction,improve perfect team service mode and policy support and create a good environment for CHS development.

Objective To evaluate the perinatal outcome of three types of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins with selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR).Methods From January 2005 to June 2012,clinical data of 42 pairs of MCDA twins (84 fetuses) with sIUGR and 71 pairs of normal MCDA twins (142 fetuses) in the same period were analyzed retrospectively in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.Fetuses with sIUGR were classified into three groups based on umbilical artery Doppler flow.There were 25 cases of type Ⅰ,11 cases of type Ⅱ and 6 cases of type Ⅲ.The perinatal outcome was compared between sIUGR and normal MCDA twins,and among the three types of sIUGR as well.Perinatal outcomes included gestational age at delivery,rate of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD),birth weight,intertwin discordance of birth weight,neonatal death and survival rate at 6 months.Results (1) The gestational age of sIUGR at delivery was significantly earlier than the control group [(34 ± 3),(36 ±2) weeks,respectively],and the rate of IUFD of both fetuses of sIUGR was significantly higher (4.8％,0,respectively).In the sIUGR group,the average birth weight of large or small twins[(2130 ±.350),(1520 ±400) g,respectively] was smaller than those in the control group [(2470 ± 500),(2340 ± 460) g,respectively].The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01,respectively).The intertwin discordance of birth weight in sIUGR group was significantly larger (27.6％) than the control group(4.0％,P＜0.01).(2) The gestational age at delivery in type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ [(34 ±5),(34 ±2) weeks,respectively] was significantly earlier than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rate of IUFD of both fetuses in type Ⅱ (18％) was significantly higher than in type Ⅰ (0) and the control group (0,P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the average birth weight of small twins in type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ was (1640 ±430),(1330 ±310) and (1500 ±380) g respectively,all of which were significantly smaller than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The average birth weight of small twins in type Ⅱ was smaller than in type Ⅰ and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In sIUGR group,the intertwin discordance of birth weight in type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ and type Ⅱ was 24.1％,34.6％,31.3％ respectively,all of which were significantly larger than that in the control group(4.0％,P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistically significant differences of the intertwin discordance of birth weight among the three types of sIUGR(P ＞0.05).Survival rate at 6 months in type Ⅱ (64％) was significantly lower than in type Ⅰ (92％) and the control group (91.5％,P＜0.01).Conclusions The perinatal outcome of MCDA twins with sIUGR is poor.The outcome is different among the three types of sIUGR,and type Ⅰ is the worst.Type Ⅱ is associated with a high risk of intrauterine fetal demise.It is important to monitor the intrauterine situation closely.

Objective To examine outcomes of superficial vein stripping for vein varicosis caused by combination of superficial and deep venous reflux and the effect on deep vein reflux. Methods From January 2004 to December 2006, twenty patients (22 lower extremities) with combined superficial and deep venous reflux were enrolled for evaluation, patients with superficial venous reflux alone worked as controls.All patients underwent superficial vein stripping and followed up for 2 years. Venous clinic severity score (VCSS) and color duplex ultrasound test were used to evaluate the change of clinic symptoms and valve reflux of deep veins. Results Preoperative VCSS of superficial and deep vein reflux group and superficial vein reflux group was 7.1 ± 2. 9 and 6. 6 ± 2. 0 respectively (P = 0. 44). At two years after operation the VCSS was 2. 3 ± 1.2 and 1.8 ± 0. 8 respectively without significant statistic differences, whereas comparing postoperative VCSS with individual preoperative parameters there was a significant decrease (P <0. 01). In combined superficial and deep vein group, deep venous reflux reduced in 7 limbs, progressed in 4 limbs, no change in 12 limbs. While in superficial reflux alone group, deep venous reflux occurred in 4 limbs.Conclusions Superficial vein stripping effectively improves symptoms of great saphenous vein varicosis of lower extremity caused by combination of superficial and deep vein reflux without a significant effect on the stares of deep vein reflux.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence (TRAP),and investigate its prenatal evaluation and clinical management.Methods Karyotype results and ultrasound data of 25 TRAP cases were retrospectively reviewed,including estimated weight and umbilical blood flow of acardiac twin,cardiac function and middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity of pump twin.Various managements and the outcomes were analyzed.Results (1) Karyotype of amniotie fluid were tested in 16 pump twins.Mosaicism was found in 1 case (46,XX[36]/46,XY [14]).(2) According to the ultrasound evaluation,large acardia accounted for 87.0％ (20/23) cases.Abundant blood perfusion (inter-twin difference of umbilical resistance index ≤0.20) was indicated in 86.4％ (19/22) cases.Decompensation of cardiac function was suggested in 66.7％ (10/15) pump twins.Fetal anemia of pump twin indicated by middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity＞1.5 multiples of the median was diagnosed in 75.0％ (12/16) cases.(3) The acardiac twin with abundant blood perfusion was more likely to be a large acardia than those without [94.7％(18/19) vs 1/3,Fisher exact test,P=0.04]; More pump twin with large acardia tended to have cardiac decompensation than non-large acardia pump twins [83.3 ％ (10/12) vs 0/3,Fisher exact test,P=0.02].(4) Eleven patients chose to terminate their pregnancies after being diagnosed.In 14 cases who continue the pregnancies,the survival rate of pump twin was 64.3％ (9/14).In 3 cases of non-large acardia without cardiac decompensation of pump twin,the patients selected conservative observation resulting in 2 term deliveries and 1 termination of pregnancy due to for exacerbation.Among 11 cases with large acardia,which the pump twins were complicated by cardiac decompensation or anemia,five cases selected conservative observation.One ended in spontaneous abortion; three exacerbated (one termination and two cesarean section before term with living births) ; one was stable until delivery.Another 6 cases received bipolar cord coagulation,and successful interruptions of acardiac blood flow were achieved in 5 cases among which 4 pump twins survived.Conclusions Prenatal diagnosis,cardiac function and fetal anemia of pump twin,together with the growth and blood supply of acardia are important indexes for prenatal evaluation of TRAP,on which our prompt management should be based.

Objective To summarize the key nursing points in patients with monochorionic twins undergoing selective feticide with bipolar electrocoagulation.Methods Selective feticide with bipolar electrocoagulation were performed in 68 monochorionic twins with one twin anomaly.And the perioperative care was performed on the patients.Results Operations were accomplished successfully in 68 cases.No complications,such as infections,premature rupture of membrane and so on,were found in all cases seven days after operation.Conclusions The nursing key points include preoperative psychological nursing by interpretation of the operations,monitoring fetal heart sounds during operations,and close observation of body temperature,uterine contractions and fetal heart rate in pregnant women after operations.Careful perioperative nursing is helpful for improvement of operative success and to ensure normal development of fetus.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of invasive procedures of prenatal diagnosis for twin gestations through analysing the results and outcomes of twins.Methods Invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures guided by ultrasound were introduced to 164 twin pregnancies with various indications,including 111 amniocentesis,and 53 cordocentesis.The results of prenatal diagnosis,complications and outcomes of these twins were analyzed with Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.Results (1) Chromosome was examined in 261 fetuses and 6.13% (16/261)had abnormal karyotypes.(2) Comparing amniocentesis with cordocentesis,the fetal loss rate within two weeks after the procedure were 0.00% (0/191) and 3.85% (3/78),respectively (P=0.024).The total fetal loss rate and preterm delivery rates in amniocentesis and cordocentesis group were 3.87% (6/155) and 5.45% (3/55),51.22% (42/82)and 38.71% (12/31),respectively (P=0.235and 0.618).(3) Selective feticide was performed on 18 cases after prenatal diagnosis.Fifteen cases had survival neonates,two cases suffered from spontaneous abortion,and two cases had preterm labor with neonatal death.Conclusions (1) Invasive prenatal diagnostic procedures are effective and feasible in twins.Amniocentesis is a relative safer and simpler alternative to cordocentesis,which demanding higher skill and carrying higher fetal loss rate.(2) Mid-trimester selective feticide after prenatal diagnosis appears safety.Before the procedure,the chorionicity and fetal condition should be considered,in order to choose suitable feticide procedures.

Objective To explore the value of sonogram index scoring system in the prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 18 syndrome.Methods Neonates who had prenatal sonographic screening in our tertiary center were followed up from January 2004 to December 2009.The fetuses who were suspected with abnormalities received karyotype analysis.All fetuses were divided into case group ( trisomy 18 group) and the control group (non-trisomy 18 group).The latter group was constituted of fetuses with trisomy 21,trisomy 13,other chromosomal abnormalitis and fetuses with normal karyotype.Logistic regression analysis was done to decide the individual sonographic features of trisomy 18.A score was assigned for ultrasound markers according to their likelihood ratios for trisomy 18 syndrome.A score of 3 was assigned for the sonographic features with likelihood ratio over 200,2 for those with likelihood ratio between 100 and 200,and 1 for those with likelihood ratio less than 100.The diagnostic efficacy of the ultrasound index scoring system was evaluated by diagnostic test.The optimal cutoff value was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The study group included 59 fetuses with trisomy 18.And 26 486 fetuses did not have trisomy 18 syndrome,including 93 fetuses with trismoy 21,19 fetuses with trisomy 13,134 fetuses with other chromosomal abnormalities,3739 fetuses with normal karyotype and 22 501 fetuses with normal appearance after birth.Two or more structural defects were observed in each trisomy 18 fetus.The highest incidence of sonogram abnormalities was extremities abnormalities (85％,50/59 ),followed by cardiac defects (83％,49/59) and central nervous system (CNS) malformations (75％,44/59).Overlapping fingers,ventricular septal defect and strawberry-shaped skull were the most common abnormalities in extremities abnormalities,cardiac defects and CNS malformations,respectively.Logistic regression identified 16 markers,including choroid plexus cyst,strawberry-shaped skull,enlarged cisterua magna,holoprosencephaly,low-set ears,ventricular septal defect,hypoplastic left heart syndrome,etc.Different scores were assigned according to the likelihood ratios of these markers.In trisomy 18 group,fetuses with the sonographic score of 1,4,9,10 to 16 were 2％ ( 1/59),9％ (5/59),10％ (6/59) and 32％ (19/59) respectively,whereas in non-trisomy 18 group they were 2.549％ (675/26 486),0.215％ (57/26 486),0.004％ ( 1/26 486) and zero,respectively.When a score of 4 was used as the cutoff value for diagnosing fetal trisomy 18,the sensitivity and specificity were 0.966 and 0.997,respectively.The area under ROC curve was 0.999.Conclusions The ultrasound index scoring system may help to quantify the ultrasound features and has a good diagnostic value for fetal trisomy 18 syndrome.The cutoff value of 4 has the best diagnostic efficacy.

Objective To investigate the intrauterine growth characteristics of twins and birthweight discordant twins (discordant twins ).MethodsTotal of 1010 twin pregnancies (2020 fetuses) with complete delivery records from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the First and Third Affiliated Hospital of SUN Yat-sen University between January 1,2000 and July 31,2010 were studied retrospectively.One handred and ninteen cases (238 fetuses) with intrapair birthweight difference ≥25％ were determined as the discordant twins group,and the other 891 cases (1782 fetuses) with intrapair birthweight difference ＜ 25％ were identified as the concordant twins group.The singleton control group included 4042 singleton pregnancies in the same period.Results ( 1 ) Comparison of clinical data between the twins groups:the birthweight of larger-twin,smaller-twin and intrapair birthweight difference in the discordant twins group and the concordant twins group were ( 2090± 827 ) g,( 1392 ± 592 ) g,( 33.9 ±9.3 ) ％,and ( 2408 ± 543 ) g,( 2191 ± 505 ) g,( 8.9 ± 6.5 ) ％,respectively,with significant differences (P＜0.01).The incidence of discordant twins was 11.78％ (119/1010).Compared with the concordant twins group,the discordant twins group bad higher proportion of monochorionic twins,and higher prevalence of pregnancy complications such as late miscarriage,abnormal umbilical insertion,twin-twin transfusion syndrome and hypertensive disorders in pregnancy ( P ＜ 0.05 ).( 2 ) The characteristics of twin birthweight distribution:① In all the 2020 twins,80.05％ (1617/2020) fetuses had birthweight below the 50th percentile of the singleton control group,while 23.71％ (479/2020) feeuses got birthweight below the 10th percentile of the singleton control group.② After 19th gestational week,the 50th and 90th percentile of all twins' birthweight were lower than those of singletons.After 38th gestational week,the birthweight of singletons kept increasing and reached its peak at 41 th week,while the birthweight of twins reached its peak at 38th week,followed by a decline at 39 weeks,which was even lower than the 10th percentile of the singleton control group.③ The distribution of birthweight of larger- and smaller-twin in the discordant twins group:65 (54.6％,65/119) larger-twins and one (0.8％,1/119) smaller-twin had birthweight above the 50th percentile of all twins,while 5 (4.2％,5/119) larger-twins and 97 ( 81.5％,97/119 ) smaller-twins got birthweight below the 10th percentile of all twins.Conclusions ( 1 ) The patterns of birthweight curves for each gestational week are different between twins and singletons.In order to evaluate the growth of twins, birthweight reference for twins shoull be employed.( 2 ) According to the reference of twins birthweight,the most discordant twins are complicated with fetal growth restriction at least in one twin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of the abnormal chromosome karyotypes in twin pregnancies complicated with fetal malformations. Methods Totally 181 twin pregnancies (362 fetuses) in which one or two fetuses had abnormalities diagnosed by ultrasound were referred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January, 2000 to September, 2010. They were divided into different groups according to ( 1 ) maternal age: the cases with maternal age ≥35 were divided into advanced pregnancy group ( 105 fetuses) , and those with maternal age ＜35 were divided into young pregnancy group (203 fetuses) ; ( 2 ) conceived method : those conceived by assisted reproductive technology were divided into assisted reproductive group (81 fetuses), and the natural conception pregnancies were divided into natural conception group (227 fetuses) ; ( 3 ) chorionicity: the monochorionic twin (MCT) pregnancies were divided into MCT group( 123 fetuses), and the dichorionic twin (DCT) pregnancies were divided into DCT group( 185 fetuses); (4) structural abnormalities: 205 fetuses with structural abnormalities were divided into the abnormal fetal group, and 103 fetuses without structural abnormalities were divided into the normal fetal group. All fetuses were examined by the ultrasound and chromosomes were examined in 308 fetuses. Results( 1 ) The karyotype of fetuses: among 181 twin pregnancies, 23 cases had chromosomal abnormalities in 1 or 2 fetuses ( 12. 7％ ,23/181 ), and chromosomes were exarmined in both fetuses in 20 of 23 cases. Twenty-six of 308 fetuses were found with abnormal chromosomes ( 8.4％, 26/308 ) , and the aneuploid was the most common type of abnormal karyotypes ( 53.8％ , 14/26 ). Twenty-one of 205 fetuses with malformations were found with abnormal karyotypes (10. 2％, 21/205 ). (2) Seven of 123 fetuses in MCT group were with abnormal karyotypes (5.7％, 7/123), and 19 of 185 fetuses in DCT group were with abnormal karyotypes ( 10. 3％, 19/185 ). There was no statistical difference of abnormal chromosome incidence between the two groups. There were 14 fetuses with aneuploid in DCT group ( 7.6％, 14/185 ) ;but there was no fetus with aneuploid in MCT group. There was statistical difference between these two groups. In two cases of DCT group, only one fetus with malformation received chromosome examination because another fetus was dead, and the karyotypes were trisomy 21 and trisomy 18 respectively. Both fetuses of the rest 17 cases received chromosome examination, and the chromosomes of both fetuses in each pregnancy were different. Fifteen of 19 fetuses with abnormal chromosomes in DCT group were complicated with structural abnormalities, and 7 fetuses of 4 twin pregnancies in MCT group were with chromosomal abnormalities. (3) The comparison of the abnormal karyotype incidence between the advanced pregnancy group and young pregnancy group: the abnormal karyotype incidence of the advanced pregnancy group was 7. 6％ (8/105), and that was 8.9％ (18/203) in young pregnancy group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Six of 105 fetuses in advanced pregnancy group were aneuploids (5. 7％, 6/105), and 8 of 203 fetuses in young pregnancy group were aneuploids (3.9％, 8/203). The aneuploid incidence in advanced pregnancy group was significantly higher than that in young pregnancy group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). (4) The comparison of the abnormal karyotype incidence between the assisted reproductive group and the natural conception group: 11 of 81 fetuses were with the abnormal karyotypes in assisted reproductive group ( 13. 6％, 11/81 ), and 15 of 227 fetuses were with the abnormal karyotypes in assisted reproductive group (6. 6％, 15/227). There was statistical difference between the two groups ( P ＜0. 05). There were 7 fetuses with the aneuploid in assisted reproductive group ( 8. 6％, 7/81 ) and 7 fetuses with the aneuploid in natural conception group ( 3. 1％, 7/227 ), which showed no statistical difference ( P ＞0. 05 ).(5) The comparison of the abnormal karyotype incidence between the abnormal fetal group and normal fetal group: 21 of 205 fetuses in abnormal fetal group were with abnormal karyotypes (10. 2％, 21/205), and 5 of 103 fetuses in normal fetal group were with abnormal karyotypes ( 4. 9％, 5/103 ) . There was no statistical difference (P ＞ 0. 05 ). 13 fetuses in abnormal fetal group were with the aneuploid (6. 3％, 1 3/205), and only one fetus in normal fetal group was aneuploid (1.0％, 1/103 ). There was statistical difference between the two groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). ConclusionsAneuploid is the most common abnormal karyotype in twin pregnancy complicated with fetal abnormalities, especially trisomy 21. Aneuploid mainly occurs in only one fetus of DCT, and chromosomal discordance is usually found in DCT. While in MCT, the twin fetuses with the same abnormal karyotype may have different pbenotypes. The results suggest that it is necessary to analyze both karyotypes of twins even if only one fetus is complicated with structural abnormalities.
