China Pharmacist 2018;21(5):858-860
Anticoagulant pharmacists performed the pharmaceutical care for one child with warfarin resistance by detecting the relevant genes and retrieving the literatures. The reasons for warfarin resistance were analyzed, and the anticoagulation characteristics during menstrual period were explored in order to provide a reasonable anticoagulant recommendation for the child. Anticoagulant pharmacists defined the cause of warfarin resistance was gene polymorphism, and then implemented an individualized anticoagulant treatment according to the situation of the child. After the discharge of the patient, pharmacists carried out long -term follow -up to make the INR within the target range. Anticoagulant pharmacists should perform the whole course anticoagulation management during hospitalization and after discharge, and provide specific pharmaceutical services respectively for doctors and patients in order to guarantee the effectiveness and safety of anticoagulation and reflect the career value of pharmacists.

Objective:To investigate the application status of emergency radiology in China, and to provide data support for the standardized development, scientific management and big data research of emergency radiology.Methods:From August 12th to October 19th, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted through WeChat"Questionnaire Star"to send targeted questionnaires to investigate the relevant data of the current status of emergency radiology in China, mainly including digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT). This study was initiated by the Chinese Emergency Radiology Database Collaboration Group, and comprehensively investigated emergency imaging personnel, equipment, workload, critical value reporting process, and artificial intelligence (AI) application status.Results:There were 123 hospitals in the study. The survey showed that emergency DR/CT reports were mainly completed by residents and above (69.1%). There were 21 DR brands, 10 CT brands and 8 MR brands used for emergency imaging examinations. The median number of DR examinations in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals investigated from January to June 2022 was 4 642 and 2 015 cases respectively, and the median number of CT examinations was 16 512 and 3 762 cases respectively. The average single-shift workload of DR in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift in tertiary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies and 21-50 copies, and the average single-shift workload of CT in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift was mainly 21-50 copies and 51-100 copies, while the average single-shift workload of DR/CT in the emergency radiology department during the day/night shift in secondary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies. In terms of critical value reporting process, 74.8% of emergency imaging doctors and 84.6% of emergency imaging technicians took the way of phone/text message to notify the clinical doctor or the patients′ family. The overall deployment rate of AI in emergency imaging was about 60.2%. 75% of the respondents believed that in the future, AI can improve emergency radiology work from aspects such as emergency screening, aided diagnosis and process optimization.Conclusions:The emergency medical imaging mainly based on DR and CT has the current situations such as generally low seniority of doctors, diverse brands of imaging equipments, large volume of examinations and intense workload per doctor, especially in tertiary hospitals, and dependence on traditional means for critical value reporting. At present, AI is emerging in the field of emergency imaging, and there is still a long way to go to play the huge potential of AI in the intelligent whole process of emergency imaging in the future.

Objective:To study the respiratory morbidity and the risk factors of respiratory complications in late-preterm infants.Methods:The data of 959 late-preterm infants in 21 hospitals in Beijing from October 2015 to April 2016 were collected.These infants were divided into the respiratory morbidity group (237 cases) and the control group (722 cases) according to whether they had short-term respiratory morbidity after birth.Clinical data of the two groups were compared.Results:Among the 959 late-preterm babies, 530 were male and 429 were female.Two hundred and thirty-seven cases (24.7%) developed short-term respiratory morbidity after birth.Infectious pneumonia developed in the most cases (81 cases, 8.4%), followed by transient tachypnea (65 cases, 6.8%), amniotic fluid aspiration (51 cases, 5.3%), and respiratory distress syndrome (24 cases, 2.5%) successively.All the infants recovered and discharged.There were no differences between gender and maternal age between 2 groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the control group, more late-preterm infants were delivered by cesarean section (73.4% vs.59.7%, χ2=14.43, P<0.001) and the 1-minute Apgar score was lower [(9.41±1.66) scores vs.(9.83±0.53) scores, t=5.40, P<0.001] in the respiratory morbidity group.The differences were statistically significant.There were more cases with maternal complications in the respiratory morbidity group that in the control group (66.7% vs.58.6%, χ2=4.877, P=0.027), but no difference in various complications between 2 groups was observed ( P>0.05). In the respiratory morbidity group, the most frequent complications were maternal hypertension and preeclampsia (27.8% vs.22.6%, χ2=2.728, P=0.099). There were no differences between 2 groups in gestational age, birth weight and birth length (all P>0.05). There were more infants small for gestational age and large for gestational age in the respiratory morbidity group than in the control group (18.8% vs.14.1%, 6.3% vs.2.4%, χ2=8.960, P=0.011). The duration of hospitalization of the respiratory morbidity group was significantly longer than that of the control group [(9.00±4.42) d vs.(6.82±4.19) d, t=6.676, P<0.001] since the infants with respiratory morbidity needed to be hospita-lized. Conclusions:Respiratory diseases occur in about 1/4 of late-preterm infants.Infants who are delivered by cesarean section and whose mothers are complicated with the maternal hypertension and preeclampsia should be monitored closely.Respiratory support should be provided for infants not appropriate for gestational age who are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases, so that they can successfully pass through the transition period.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Methods The clinical data of 815 late preterm infants (449 males and 366 females) from 25 hospitals in Beijing were collected from October 2015 to April 2016, including 340 cases(41.7%) with hyperbilirubinemia (hyperbilirubinemia group), and 475 cases without hyperbilirubinemia (control group). The clinical data of two groups were compared, and the maternal factors influencing hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants were analyzed with logistic regression. Results There were no significant differences in gender ratio (M:F 1.39 vs. 1.12, t=1.811,P=0.172)and birth weight[(2502.6±439.6)g vs. (2470.2±402.9)g,χ2=2.330,P=0.127)]between two groups. The incidence rates of hyperbilirubinemia in infants of 34 wks, 35 wks and 36 wks of gestational age were 22.9%(87/174), 35%(119/300) and 42.1%(143/341) respectively (χ2=1.218,P=0.544). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the maternal age(OR=1.044,95% CI:1.010-1.080,P=0.011)was independent risk factor and multiple births(OR=1.365,95%CI:0.989-1.883,P=0.048), premature rupture of membranes(OR=2.350,95% CI:1.440-3.833,P=0.001), cesarean section(OR=1.540,95%CI:0.588-4.031,P=0.014)were risk factors for hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Conclusions The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants is relatively high. Maternal age, multiple births, premature rupture of membranes and cesarean section are risk maternal factors related to hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants.

Objective:To screen the candidate genes in a patient with Kabuki syndrome (KS), providing basis for genetic counseling, prenatal screening, prenatal diagnosis and facilitating early treatment.Methods:This study included a 16-year-old female KS patient born of non-consanguineous Chinese parents who presented to Department of Orthognathic & Cleft Lip and Palate Plastic Surgery, School and Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University. Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the subjects and analyzed by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Sanger sequencing was performed to validate the mutation in the candidate gene. The conformational and physicochemical changes of the mutant were analyzed by Alphafold2, Antheprot and DOG.2.0.1, respectively. Distribution of KMT2D mutations in patients with KS was analyzed based on the Human Gene Mutation DatabaseResults:The proband manifested a typical KS facial gestalt, congenital cleft palate, fifth finger deformity, hypodontia, renal hypoplasia and hydronephrosis. Two de novo mutations c.[1166A>C; 1167dupC] (NM_003482) in cis on the same allele in the KMT2D gene were identified by WES and confirmed by allele-specific PCR. Bioinformatics analysis showed that three more α-helixes were added, and a (β-) turn and a (β-) sheet were reduced in KMT2D p. Y389S, p.V390Rfs*26 compared with the wild type. Meanwhile, the interceptive mutant-KMT2D protein p.V390Rfs*26 lost all four domains (FYRN domain, FYRC domain, SET domain, and PostSET domain), which may cause functional disabilities. Conclusions:Our study is the first to identify two novel and de novo KMT2D mutations in cis on the same allele in a KS patient and extends the KMT2D mutation spectrum of KS, providing evidence for genetic susceptibility counseling, prenatal screening and diagnosis, and early treatment of KS.
