Objective:To analyze the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy and anti-drug antibody production in children with Fabry disease.Methods:The clinical data of 7 children with Fabry disease treated with enzyme replacement therapy for more than 1 year at Children′s Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from July 2021 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The basic information and the changes of related clinical indicators before and after treatment were collected. Paired sample t test was used to compare renal function, left heart mass index, pain score and other related indexes before and after treatment. The anti-drug antibodies were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results:A total of 6 boys and 1 girl were included. The age of diagnosis was (12.2±1.8) years. After 1 year of enzyme replacement therapy, the abnormal substrate globotriaosylsphingosine and brief pain inventory scores of all children were significantly lower than those before treatment ((16±11) vs. (63±42) μg/L, 22±19 vs. 45±29, t=3.88, 3.43, both P<0.05). There were no significant differences in glomerular filtration rate, urinary microalbumin to creatinine and left heart mass index before and after treatment ((124±35) vs. (136±26) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), (9.3±8.3) vs. (3.8±2.5) mg/g, (38±9) vs. (33±6) g/m 2.7, t=1.33, 1.74, 1.19, all P>0.05). Patients 4, 5 and 6 developed anti-drug antibodies at 1 month, 4 months and 1 month after medication, respectively. Patient 4 had persistently high anti-drug antibody titers (absorbance 3.65-3.73) accompanied by urticaria, elevated globotriaosylsphingosine and worsening clinical symptoms. Conclusions:The enzyme replacement therapy can effectively improve the clinical symptoms and reduce the level of globotriaosylsphingosine in children with Fabry disease. The anti-drug antibody is common in patients after long-term enzyme replacement therapy and may diminish the efficacy, which needs dynamic monitoring.

Objective:To explore the cognition and intention of patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to participate in patient-reported outcomes (PROs), so as to provide references for the promotion, application, and practice of PROs in lower limb DVT patients in China.Methods:This study adopted the phenomenological qualitative research method. From February to June 2023, 13 lower limb DVT patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected for semi-structured in-depth interviews. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used for analyzing and summarizing data.Results:Thirteen patients with lower limb DVT highly recognized their own value in participating in PROs, namely health benefits, prevention of DVT complications, and reduction of disease uncertainty. Lower limb DVT patients expected to receive support from healthcare professionals, families, and portable and simplified reporting formats to promote their participation in PROs. From the patient 's own perspective, they perceived that insufficient attention to DVT caused by lack of awareness of the hazards of DVT and limited understanding of PROs made it difficult for them to participate in PROs. Conclusions:Lower limb DVT patients have a high intention to participate in PROs. The application and promotion of PROs in lower limb DVT patients in China require joint support from various sectors of society, among which strengthening effective health education for patients and their families and providing multi-channel reporting forms are the key to promoting of PROs.

To analyze the differences in cerebral blood flow (CBF) characteristics among children with different subtypes of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their relationship with executive function using arterial spin labeling (ASL) technology. A case-control study was conducted, including children diagnosed with ADHD at the outpatient clinic of Peking University Sixth Hospital from July 2015 to December 2019 as the ADHD group, and typically developing schoolchildren from January to December 2021 as the healthy control group. Both groups underwent pseudo-continuous ASL (pCASL) scanning to measure CBF, and executive function was assessed using the parent version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). Differences in CBF between ADHD children and healthy controls were compared. For brain regions showing significant group differences, CBF values were extracted and linear regression models were constructed with BRIEF scores to further explore the relationship between regional CBF and executive function. A total of 134 boys with ADHD were included[83 with ADHD predominantly inattentive subtype (ADHD-I) and 51 with ADHD combined subtype (ADHD-C)], along with 25 healthy control boys. Intergroup comparisons revealed that the CBF in the left middle temporal gyrus was significantly lower in ADHD-C children compared to both ADHD-I children ( The CBF in the left middle temporal gyrus of boys with ADHD-C is significantly lower than that of boys with ADHD-I and healthy controls. This reduced regional CBF may be associated with executive function deficits in organization and planning abilities in ADHD-C, providing new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying ADHD subtypes.
