Objective:To investigate the RHD genotypes of RhD-negative pregnant women and explore the optimum strategy for fetal RHD screening among this population in the region. Methods:This prospective study recruited 33 cases of RhD-negative singleton pregnancies at ≥12 weeks of gestation in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from March to November 2021. On the basis of RHD genotyping, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the exons 5 and 10 of RHD gene in the circulating cell-free DNA of RhD-negative pregnant women harboring whole RHD gene deletion and RHD-CE(2-9)- D. High-throughput sequencing was performed to detect chr1:25648453 locus from circulating cell-free DNA in plasma of RhD-negative pregnant women harboring RHD 1227A mutation to screen the fetal RhD blood group. Neonatal umbilical cord blood samples were collected for verifying fetal RHD genotyping. Descriptive statistical analysis was used. Results:Whole RHD gene deletion homozygous genotype ( n=20, 60.6%), RHD-CE(2-9) -D/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype ( n=5, 21.2%), RHD 1227A/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype ( n=7, 15.2%) and RHD 711delC/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype ( n=1) were identified in the 33 RhD-negative pregnant women. In the 25 cases with whole RHD gene deletion homozygous genotype or RHD-CE(2-9)- D/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype, 22 fetuses were RhD-positive and three were RhD-negative based on prenatal screening, which were confirmed by the neonatal serological test results after birth. In the seven cases carrying RHD 1227A/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype, all fetuses were RhD-positive, which were consistent with the results of serological detection after delivery. The case harboring RHD 711delC/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype did not receive fetal RHD screening. Conclusions:This study suggests that whole RHD gene deletion homozygous genotype is the most common allele in RhD-negative population in this area, followed by RHD 1227A/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype and RHD- CE(2-9)- D/whole RHD gene deletion heterozygous genotype. For women with whole RHD gene deletion homozygous genotype, RHD- CE(2-9)- D, or RHD 1227A mutation, fetal RHD screening with quantitative real-time PCR and high-throughput sequencing are important for the management of RhD-negative pregnant women.

OBJECTIVE To understand the safety of Ilaprazole sodium for injection in clinical practice. METHODS From Jan. 1st 2019 to Feb. 29th 2020, the data of 3 926 valid hospitalized patients receiving Ilaprazole sodium for injection were collected prospectively from 5 third-level hospitals through CHPS, and the post-marketing safety analysis was performed by using retrospective multicenter single cohort study. At the same time, a nested case-control study (the ratio of trial group and control group was 1∶4) was used to confirm the baseline stability of this study cohort and the correlation between adverse reactions and Ilaprazole sodium for injection. RESULTS Among 3 926 patients, 3 patients experienced 5 adverse drug events after using Ilaprazole sodium for injection, with the incidence of 0.076%. There was no serious adverse event, and the occurrence time was 2 days after medication; adverse drug events mainly include elevated liver function indicators (alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, total bilirubin), which were mild and untreated, and all adverse drug events were improved. The results of the nested case-control study showed that the trial group and the control group belonged to the same background baseline, and the occurrence of adverse drug events was more closely related to Ilaprazole sodium for injection. CONCLUSIONS The overall safety of Ilaprazole sodium for injection is relatively high, and the occurrence of adverse events is more related to it.

Objective:To study the characteristics of video electroencephalogram (VEEG) and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neonates with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) and to determine the predictive value for prognostic.Method:From June 2016 to December 2018, a retrospective study was performed on newborns diagnosed with IEM receiving VEEG examinations at the Neonatology Department of our hospital. VEEG and cranial MRI were used as prognostic indicators and the follow-up results were used as criteria predicting the accuracy of prognosis. The accuracy of the prediction was calculated using a 4 × 4 table.Result:A total of 21 eligible cases with 14 types of IEM were included. The most common type of IEM was organic acidemia (47.6%, 10/21). 16 cases (76.2%) had abnormal VEEG background patterns, including 8 cases of organic acidemia, 3 cases of urea cycle disorders, 1 case of energy metabolism disorder and 4 cases of other IEMs. No significant differences existed in the abnormality rate of VEEG background patterns among these groups ( P=0.882). VEEG showed 3 cases of seizures including 2 cases of electrographic-only seizures. Interburst interval durations were shortened on VEEG background with the decrease of blood ammonia level. The positive predictive values of the moderate-to-severe abnormal VEEG background and the presence of major cerebral lesions on MRI in predicting poor prognosis were 90.0% (95% CI 55.5%~99.7%) and 100% (95% CI 66.4%~100%), respectively, and the negative predictive values were 50.0% (95% CI 18.7%~81.3%) and 85.7% (95% CI 42.1%~99.6%), respectively. Conclusion:Neonates with IEM have higher incidences of abnormal VEEG. Continuous VEEG may accurately diagnose neonatal seizures and effectively monitor brain function. VEEG is a useful tool monitoring infants with IEM and predicting adverse outcomes, especially when used in combination with brain MRI.

Objective: To assess blood levels of renal function related influencing factors with baseline clinical parameters for predicting the risk of 8-year survival in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A total of 293 CHF patients admitted in our hospital from 2006-07 to 2009-11 were enrolled. The patients were followed-up until 2014-6-30, the end point was death. According to followed-up results, they were divided into 2 groups: Survival group,n=107 and Death group,n=186. All patients received routine renal function and electrolytes examination including blood levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, anion gap and phosphorus; GFR was calculated by MDRD formula. Baseline clinical parameters as left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by echocardiography; blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded. The risk factors for 8-year survival in CHF patients were analyzed. Results: Compared with Survival group, Death group had increased LVEDD, urea nitrogen, creatinine and uric acid, while decreased LVEF, HR, GFR, blood sodium and calcium, allP<0.05. Univariate analysis indicated that LVEDD, LVEF, GFR, urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, blood sodium, calcium and phosphorus had the better predictive value for the risk of 8-year survival in CHF patients, allP<0.05. Multivariate analysis presented that LVEDD, GFR and blood sodium had the highest predictive value for the risk of 8-year survival, allP<0.001; the next one was blood calcium,P<0.01. Conclusion: LVEDD, GFR, blood sodium and calcium were the independent predictors for the risk of 8-year survival in CHF patients.
