Objective:To investigate the incidence rate and gene variation of methylmalonic academia (MMA) in Ji′nan city by analyzing biochemical and genetic screening results, and to explore the carrier frequency of MMA-related pathogenic genes in the population in Ji′nan.Methods:The children diagnosed with MMA by tandem mass spectrometry screening in Ji′nan Neonatal Disease Screening Centre from May 2011 to May 2022 were enrolled in this study.Their genetic test results were retrospectively analyzed and summarized.The dried heel blood tablets collected from 6 800 newborns were tested for neonatal gene screening. MMAA, MMAB, MMACHC and MMUT genes in 4 800 cases were detected by high-throughput sequencing+ target area capture technology.Ultra-multiplex polymerase chain reaction+ target gene locus capture technology was used to detect 174 target loci of 8 genes related to MMA in 2 000 cases.The hotspot mutation and related gene carrier rate of MMA were analyzed. Results:A total of 367 452 newborns were screened by tandem mass spectrometry, and 103 cases (56 males and 47 females) were diagnosed with MMA by screening.The estimated incidence of MMA was 1∶3 567.Among the 103 MMA cases, 76 were genetically diagnosed, and 4 gene variants of MMA ( MMAHC, MMUT, MMAA, MMADHC) were identified.A total of 6 800 neonates underwent neonatal genetic screening.Three of them were diagnosed with MMA.About 318 infants carried pathogenic variants of MMA, with a total carrier rate of 4.68%.Specifically, the carrier rates of MMACHC and MMUT gene variants were 3.09%(210/6 800) and 1.43% (97/6 800), respectively. Conclusions:MMA is the most common organic acid metabolism disorder in our country.The incidence and carrier rate of this disease are high in Jinan city.Neonatal genetic screening is an important supplement to neonatal biochemical screening.Carrier screening for MMA-related pathogenic genes is recommended for couples of childbearing age in Jinan.

Objective To investigate the screening strategy of group B streptococcus (GBS) in the reproductive tract of women in the third trimester and analyze its impact on pregnancy outcome. Methods A total of 85 461 pregnant women in 35-37 weeks of gestation from Bao′an Maternity and Child Health Hospital, Jinan University from January 2011 to June 2018 were enrolled. They were divided into 3 periods according to different GBS screening strategies, the unscreened period included 31 384 cases (36.72%), 33 267 cases (38.93%) were included in partial screening period, 20 810 cases (24.35%) were included in screening period. All GBS screening positive pregnant women were given intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis (IAP). The impact on pregnancy outcomes, and the impact of different GBS collection transport and culture methods on the positive rate of GBS screening were analyzed. Results (1) The incidence of neonatal early onset GBS disease (EOGBSD) in unscreened period was 0.03% (11/31 773), in partial screening period was 0.02%(6/33 887), and in screening period, the incidence of neonatal EOGBSD decreased to 0, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=7.86, P=0.02).(2) The incidence of hematogenous infection of GBS in pregnant women was 0.02%(6/33 887) in partial screening period, and there was none in screening period, there was no significant difference (adjusted χ2=3.75, P=0.05). (3) In the screening period, the positive rate of GBS was 14.08%(2 719/19 306), which was significantly higher than the positive rate of GBS in the partial screening period (11.48%, 2 058/17 920; χ2=56.12, P=0.00). (4) Antibiotic sensitivity tests of 4 777 GBS strains showed that the antibiotics with higher resistance rate were tetracycline (81.52%, 3 896/4 777), erythromycin (66.59%, 3 181/4 777), and clindamycin (64.31%, 3 072/4 777). The combination of erythromycin, clindamycin and tetracycline was the most common resistant pattern, accounting for 48.80% (2 331/4 777). No penicillin, ceftriaxone or vancomycin resistant strains was found. Conclusions GBS screening strategy in different regions could combine the local neonatal EOGBSD incidence rate, maternal GBS colonization rate, and the socioeconomic factors to determine whether universal GBS screening or screening for high-risk maternal women. GBS screening positive rate is related to the population, scope of the investigation, the sample collection, delivery and culture methods. The multi-drug resistance rate of GBS is high.[Key words] Streptococcus agalactiae; Streptococcal infections; Neonatal sepsis; Prenatal diagnosis; Pregnancy trimester, third; Pregnancy outcome

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of compound α-ketoacid tablet in the treatment of type 2 dia-letic mellitusc(T2DM)complicated with early diabetic nephropathy. METHODS:A total of 180 T2DM patients with early nephrop-athy during Jan. 2013-Dec. 2015 selected as research objects were divided into group A,B,C according to random number table, with 60 cases in each group. Group C was given basic symptomatic treatment. Group A was additionally given Compound α-ketoac-id tablets 2.52 g orally,tid,on the basis of group C. Group B was additionally given Compound α-ketoacid tablets 5.04 g orally, tid,on the basis of group C. Three groups were treated for consecutive 24 weeks. The renal function indexes (BUN,Cr,GFR, urine ALB),blood glucose indexes (FPG,PPG,HbA1c),blood pressure indexes (SBP,DBP) and nutritional indexes (serum ALB,PA,Hb) were observed in 3 groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of ADR was recorded in 3 groups. RE-SULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in renal function indexes,blood glucose indexes,blood pressure in-dexes or nutritional indexes among 3 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,urine levels of ALB,HbA1c and SBP were decreased sig-nificantly in 3 groups;the group B was significantly lower than the group A;the group A was significantly lower than the group C. The levels of serum ALB,PA and Hb were decreased significantly in group A and C;the group B was significantly higher than the group A;the group A was significantly higher than group C,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in 3 groups were 8.3%,10.0% and 6.7% respectively,without statistical significance(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound α-keto-acid tablet can significantly improve renal function,control blood glucose and blood pressure levels and complete necessary nutri-ents in T2DM patients with early nephropathy patients with good safety. High dose are more effective.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;36(31):10-12
Objective To determine the levels of vitamin D in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).Methods Seventy-eight cases of SLE were selected as SLE group,42 cases of chronic nephritis (CN) were as CN group,and 40 cases of healthy persons were as control group.Vitamin D levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay.The correlation of vitamin D levels in patients with SLE and 24 h urinary protein excretion,SLE disease activity (SLEDAI) score,anti-ds-DNA antibodies,complement C3 were analyzed,and the relationships between vitamin D levels and kidney damage were estimated.Results The vitamin D levels in SLE group were (13.3 ± 6.2) μ g/L,significantly lower than those in CN group [(21.4 ± 9.7) μ g/L] and control group [(20.8 ± 9.5) μ g/L] (P < 0.05),and the difference was not statistically significant between CN group and control group (P > 0.05).The vitamin D levels in SLE and lupus nephritis (LN) patients were significantly lower than those in SLE and non-LN patients [(9.8 ±6.1) μg/L vs.(15.9 ±7.8) μg/L,P <0.05].Vitamin D levels in SLE patients were negatively correlated with SLEDAI score,anti-ds-DNA antibodies and 24 h urinary protein excretion (r =-0.712,-0.682,-0.769,P < 0.05),and were positively correlated with complement C3(r =0.608,P < 0.05).Conclusions The vitamin D levels in SLE patients decrease significantly and have close relationship with disease activity.It can not only reflect disease activity,but also act as a useful marker to predict visceral involvement.
