Objective To investigate the compliableness and cardiac rehabilitation effect of application of the Android‐based cardiac rehabilitation risk assessment simulative software in the patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods A total of 150 discharge patients with CHD treated in the cardiology department of multiple hospitals in Guangzhou City from December 2014 to December 2015 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the observation group for applying the Android‐based car‐diac rehabilitation risk assessment software and control group according to the random number table ,75 cases in each group .The compliableness and cardiac rehabilitation effect after this software out‐of‐hospital application in the CHD patients were observed . Results Among 150 cases ,141 cases continued to follow up ,the follow up rate was 94 .0% ,including 72 cases in the observation group and 69 cases in the control group ,the re‐hospitalization rate and the standard‐reaching rate of blood pressure ,blood glucose and blood lipid in the observation group were superior to those in the control group with statistical difference (P<0 .05);the com‐pliableness of behaviors following doctor′s advice and comprehensive evaluation of living quality in the observation group were su‐perior to those in the control group ,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The application of the Android‐based cardiac rehabilitation risk assessment software is an effective measure for out‐of‐hospital cardiac rehabilitation , which can increase the compliableness of cardiac rehabilitation in the CHD patients .

Hepatitis E is a globally distributed infection that varies in seroprevalence between developed and developing regions.In the less developed regions of Asia and Africa,a high seropositivity rate has been reported for hepatitis E virus(HEV)antibodies.Although acute hepatitis E is often self-limited and has a favorable prognosis,some populations experience severe manifestations,which may progress to liver failure.Moreover,some immunocompromised patients are at risk of developing chronic HEV infection and cirrhosis.Proactive screening,reducing misdiagnosis,improving patient management,timely anti-viral therapy for severe and chronic cases,and vaccination of high-risk groups are important measures to reduce the morbidity of hepatitis E.This review focused on the clinical presentation,management,and prevention of hepatitis E.

Background and aim:Few studies have reported hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)kinetics after nucleos(t)ide analog(NA)discontinuation in patients with noncirrhotic chronic hepatitis B(CHB).The study specifically investigated long-term HBsAg kinetics after NA discontinuation. Methods:Between January 2014 to January 2024,this study prospectively enrolled 106 outpatients with noncirrhotic CHB who met the discontinuation criteria after NA consolidation treatment.Demographic,clinical,and laboratory data were collected and analyzed after NA discontinuation. Results:Ninety-six patients who finished 5 years of follow-up were included.HBsAg remained unde-tectable in 29 patients with end of treatment(EOT)HBsAg negativity.Among 67 patients with EOT HBsAg positivity,HBsAg seroclearance occurred in 12(17.9%)patients with an estimated annual inci-dence of HBsAg seroclearance of 3.6%.Patients with EOT HBsAg levels of ≤1000 IU/mL had a higher HBsAg seroclearance rate than those with EOT HBsAg levels of>1000 IU/mL(33.3%vs.5.4%).The pro-portion of patients with HBsAg ≤1000 IU/mL increased during follow-up.Logistic regression analysis indicated that the EOT HBsAg level was an independent factor for HBsAg seroclearance and an HBsAg level decline exceeding 1 log10 IU/mL.The optimal EOT HBsAg cutoff for both HBsAg seroclearance and an HBsAg level decline exceeding 1 log10 IU/mL was 359 IU/mL. Conclusions:Patients with EOT HBsAg negativity experienced no relapse and maintained HBsAg sero-clearance during 5 years of follow-up after NA discontinuation.A higher HBsAg seroclearance rate can be obtained in patients with EOT HBsAg levels of ≤1000 IU/mL during 5 years of follow-up after NA discontinuation.Close monitoring and proper NA retreatment are recommended to guarantee the safety of NA discontinuation.
4.Clinical characteristics and genetic counseling for a three-generation Chinese pedigree with recurrent fetal Kabuki syndrome due to variant of KDM6A gene
Chinese Journal of Medical Genetics 2024;41(1):81-85
Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a pregnant woman with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A woman with an adverse history of pregnancies including one fetal demise and two induced abortions due to fetal diaphragmatic hernia and complex cardiac anomalies was selected as the study subject. Muscle tissue from the induced abortus was subjected to whole exome sequencing, and candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing of the couple and other family members.Results:Genetic sequencing revealed that the fetus has harbored a frameshift variant of the KDM6A gene (NM_001291415.2), namely c. 1228_1229del (p.Gln410GlufsTer2), which was inherited from the woman and her mother. The variant was unreported previously, and the woman was found to have short stature, sparse eyebrows in the outer third, peculiar facial features, but normal intelligence in addition with female congenital genital malformation, like incomplete vaginal septum, double cervix, double uterus, and unilateral ovary absence. mostly similar phenotypes observed in her mother. Conclusion:The hemizygous c. 1228_1229del variant of the KDM6A gene probably underlay the abnormalities in the fetus. All findings have enabled genetic counseling for this family featuring X-linked inheritance, and the woman had given birth to a healthy girl with appropriate prevention and intervention.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is still a serious disease threatening human health. Anti-HBV treatment is an extremely important means to reduce the threat of hepatitis B. In recent years, there has been no consensus on the timing and drug selection of anti-HBV therapy. The timing and drug selection of anti-HBV therapy in various populations are discussed in this article.
