Objective:To describe the secular trends of premarital medical examination ( PME ) in China during 1996 and 2013 and to assess the impacts of national health policies on the PME rate. Methods:The information on marriage and PME for districts and counties in 31 provinces of China was annually collected by the Office for National Maternal & Child Health Statistics of China, and the infor-mation on the health policies was from official governmental websites. According to the main health poli-cies, the calendar years were categorized into 3 periods:1996 to 2003 was mandatory PME period;2004 to 2008 was encouraged voluntary PME period; and 2009 to 2013 was free-paid voluntary PME period. Results: During the 18-year period, 284 242 719 people were registered for a marriage in which 107 198 795 were examined, giving the PME rate of 37. 7%. During the mandatory PME period, the rate ranged 52 . 7% -67 . 7% with an average of 60 . 9% ( urban 71 . 5%, and rural 51 . 7%) . In 2004 , the first year when the PME became voluntary, the rate was abruptly dropped to 2. 6%, and thereafter gradually increased to 11 . 5% in 2008 . As the policies of the free-paid voluntary PME were subsequently issued, the rate was quickly increased to 52. 3% (urban 49. 8%, and rural 54. 6%) in 2013. The in-creasing trend was consistently observed both in urban and rural areas, and across East, Middle, West, and Northeast economical regions. However, the rates differed greatly among provinces. In 2013, 5 pro-vinces had rates of >90% ( Guangxi 97 . 5%, Fujian 96 . 0%, Ningxia 95 . 4%, Zhejiang 93 . 4% and Anhui 90. 1%), whereas some provinces were stuck at a low rate, including developed and underdeve-loped provinces/cities. The PME rate in 2013 was 27. 4% for Shanghai, 25. 5% for Guangdong, 12. 4%for Chongqing, 5. 8% for Beijing and 4. 6% for Tianjin. Underdeveloped provinces were Guizhou (6. 4%) and Qinghai (1. 8%). Conclusion:As various national policies to promote voluntary PME were issued, the PME rate was significantly increased after a sharp decline, though it varied greatly by provinces. For provinces with high PME rate, PME-related health benefits need to be evaluated;for provinces with low rate, it is of important practical significance to explore a cost-effective health service model that is likely incorporated with pre-pregnancy examination.

Objective To compare and investigate the efficacy of small bone window via lateral fissure and cranial awl hole puncture aspiration via temporal lobe in treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HIH) in basal ganglia. Methods Eighty-two patients with HIH in basal ganglia were divided into group A (34 cases) and group B (48 cases) by random digits table method. The patients in group A underwent small bone window via lateral fissure, and the patients in group B underwent cranial awl hole puncture aspiration via temporal lobe. The hematoma clearance rate, short-term effects, Barthel index, Scandinavian stroke scale (SSS) score and complications were compared between 2 groups. Results The Hematoma clearance rate and excellent rate in group A were significantly higher than those in group B:(91.12 ± 6.55)%vs. (55.83 ± 4.32)%and 52.94%(18/34) vs. 33.33%(16/48), the incidence of complications was significantly lower than that in group B:5.88%(2/34) vs. 22.92%(11/48), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The SSS score 14 d after operation and Barthel index 60 d after operation in group A were better than those in group B:(29.72 ± 6.39) scores vs. (26.43 ± 6.11) scores and (83.91 ± 17.82) scores vs. (72.34 ± 15.62) scores, there were statistical differences (P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions The efficacy of small bone window via lateral fissure in treatment of HIH in basal ganglia is better than cranial awl hole puncture aspiration via temporal lobe, however, surgical trauma is relatively large, and operation should be a reasonable choice according to the specific circumstances of patients.

Objective:
To assess the value of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotyping for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for beta-thalassemia coupled with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching.
Methods:
Three couples were recruited. Couple 1 both carried a βIVS-2-654 variation and had previously given birth to a son with β thalassemia major. Couple 2 respectively carried βcd41-42 and βIVS-2-654 but had no history of pregnancy. Couple 3 respectively carried βCD17and βIVS-2-654, and had a daughter carrying βCD17.
Results:
For couple 1, NGS-SNP typing identified two embryos not only unaffected with thalassemia but also with matched HLA. One blastocyst was transferred and resulted in successful pregnancy. A healthy baby was born at 39th week of gestation. Its umbilical blood was used to treat the sick brother through hemopoietic stem cell transplantation. For couple 2, seven blastocysts were obtained. Second transplantation has resulted in successful pregnancy. Prenatal diagnosis was consistent with PGD. For couple 3, two blastocysts not only unaffected with thalassemia but also with no pathogenic copy number variations were obtained. Transfer of one blastocyte resulted in successful pregnancy, and prenatal diagnosis was consistent with PGD.
Conclusion
NGS-based SNP typing is an useful tool for selecting embryos unaffected with beta-thalassemia and matched HLA through PGD.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the pattern and value of the expression of T-bet in nasopharyngeal-associated lymphatic tissue (NALT) of patients with or without allergic rhinitis (AR).
METHOD:
T-bet and CD4/T-bet expression in adenoids, tonsils and nasal mucosa was respectively detected with single stain and double stain of immunohistochemistry.
RESULT:
The positive ratio of T-bet expression in tonsils, adenoids and nasal mucosa between AR group and the control group had statistically different (P < 0.05). There was statistical difference of T-bet expression in tonsils from AR group in three different age groups (P < 0.05). The difference was that T-bet expression in adults group was significantly lower than that in children group and adolescent group. There was no difference of T-bet expression among different age groups in non-AR group. There were some positive expression of CD4 and T-bet in tonsils, adenoids and nasal mucosa from two groups and most positive expression of T-bet on CD4 positive cell.
CONCLUSION
T-bet expression was down-regulated in NALT of patients with AR. T-bet expression of NALT is associated with allergic mucosal inflammation and functional status of NALT, as well as the weak Th1 response at the level of transfer factor in local mucosa of respiratory tract in AR patients.

Chinese Journal of Medical Genetics 2020;37(7):751-754
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic basis for a pedigree affected with propionic acidemia.
METHODS:
Trio whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to screen potential variants in the proband and his parents. Sanger sequencing was carried out for the elder sister of the proband, and prenatal diagnosis was carried out at 18th gestational week upon the next pregnancy of his mother.
RESULTS:
Two novel heterozygous variants, PCCA c.1845+1G>A and c.446delA, were detected by WES, for which his father and mother were respectively heterozygous carriers. His elder sister also inherited the PCCA c.1845+1G>A variant from her father, while the fetus was heterozygous for the PCCA c.1845+1G>A variant. Above results were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
CONCLUSION
Identification of the PCCA c.1845+1G>A and c.446delA variants by WES has facilitated genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this family.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the inhaled allergen distribution of children with allergic rhinitis in Guangzhou area and to analyze the relevant factors.
METHOD:
Six hundred and twenty-six cases children in Guangzhou region diagnosed with allergic rhinitis from January 2009 to December 2011 in our outpatient department were tested with skin prick test (SPT). Ten of standardized common inhaled allergens were analysed. The variety of allergens positive rate was calculated. And the gender, age, living environment,history of asthma, eczema, history and family history of clinical data were analyzed.
RESULT:
The positive rate of SPT was 84.82% (531/626). The dust mites(76.36%) and the house dust mite(72.84%) have the highest positive rate, then the positive rate of the dog hair (11.98%), cat hair (7.03%) and Blattella germanica (4.31%) was degressively. The positive rate was significantly correlated with family history, history of eczema and asthma. The positive rate was correlated with the gender, independent of the living environment. The intensity of the test has no significant correlation with gender, and was significantly correlated with other factors. The positive rate of SPT has significant difference in ages and the highest positive rate of SPT was in the 10-14 age group, the SPT rate was 93.8%. Three groups have significant differences in the positive rate of mite, dog hair and cat hair.
CONCLUSION
The main inhaled allergen in children with allergic rhinitis in Guangzhou area tested by SPT was mite, dog hair and cat hair, respectively. The different ages, living environment, family history, history of eczema and allergic rhinitis children with asthma were related with the pathogenesis and development of AR in childhood. Our results have the contribution to early diagnosis and intervention of children with allergic rhinitis in Guangzhou area.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effect of low-temperature coblation on subglottic hemangioma under endoscopy.
METHOD:
Clinical data of 5 patients whom were diagnosed as subglottic hemangioma treated with low-temperature coblation under endoscopy were retrospectively studied. Two cases of the patients were treated after tracheotomy.
RESULT:
Hemangioma vanished completely in the 5 patients. All patients were followed-up from 3-6 months,no recurrence was found, and the 2 cases were extubated successfully.
CONCLUSION
Endoscopic surgery u sing low-temperature coblation for subglottic hemangioma after tracheotomy can relief the airway obstruction quickly, shorten the nature course of hemangioma and the period of wearing trachea,also no complication such as subglottic stenosis which is thought to be a safe and effective therapy for large size hemangioma. While for small size hemangioma, endoscopic surgery using low-temperature coblation under good total anesthesia without tracheotomy combined is effective, less injure, and suitable. Endoscopic surgery using low-temperature coblation for subglottic hemangioma has following advantages such as simplicity, minimal invasion and so on. It is a viable surgical method for the treatment of subglottic hemangioma.
