Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PD)deficiency is one of the most common monogenic genetic diseases in the world.China is the high incidence area of this disease.G6PD heterozygote is the main form of G6PD deficiency in females,which belongs to X-linked incomplete dominant inheritance.Therefore,the enzyme activities of female heterozygotes vary widely,showing normal to mild to moderate enzyme activi-ties.There is no unified calibrators for G6PD enzymatic detection reagents commonly used in clinical practice,and the results of the same sample detected by different kits from different manufacturers are different,so there is a phenomenon of missed detection in clinical screening of female G6PD heterozygotes.Although G6PD gene detection can effectively improve the detection rate of female heterozygotes,its clinical application is lim-ited due to cost and other reasons.Therefore,the development of detection methods that can improve the de-tection rate of female heterozygotes and are suitable for large-scale screening and clinical application will be an urgent need to be solved in clinical practice.This article reviews the epidemiology of G6PD deficiency,genetic characteristics of female G6PD gene,clinical manifestations and detection methods of G6PD female heterozy-gotes.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) -mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of facial port-wine stains (PWS) in children with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) .Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted based on the clinical data from SWS children treated with HMME-PDT at the Department of Dermatology, Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from December 2020 to January 2022. HMME was intravenously injected at a dose of 5 mg/kg, followed by the irradiation of SWS lesions with a 532-nm light-emitting diode light source, and the treatment interval was 8 weeks. The efficacy of HMME-PDT for SWS was evaluated based on the subsidence of erythema and changes in the number and density of blood vessels under a dermoscope before and after treatment; adverse events after treatment were recorded. Fisher's exact test was used to analyze differences in efficacy.Results:A total of 15 children with SWS were included, comprising 7 males and 8 females, with an average age of 4.74 years (range, 1 - 14 years). There were 10 cases of clinical phenotype Ⅰ and 5 cases of type Ⅱ; 10 patients were accompanied by glaucoma, 6 by epilepsy, and 10 showed abnormalities on craniocerebral imaging. After HMME-PDT treatment, 4 out of 15 patients achieved complete remission of SWS lesions, 3 showed marked improvement, and 5 achieved improvement. Among 8 cases receiving 2 sessions of treatment, 1 achieved marked improvement and 4 showed improvement; among 7 cases receiving 3 or more sessions of treatment, 4 achieved complete remission, 2 achieved marked improvement, and 1 showed improvement; the proportions of patients achieving complete remission and marked improvement were significantly higher among those receiving 3 or more sessions of treatment than those receiving 2 sessions (both P < 0.05). Among 7 patients with pink-type PWS, 1 recovered completely, 2 achieved marked improvement, and 4 showed improvement; among 4 patients with purplish-red-type PWS, 3 recovered completely and 1 showed marked improvement; among 4 patients with thickened-type PWS, 1 achieved improvement; there was a significant difference in the proportions of patients achieving marked improvement or improvement among the patients with different types of PWS (both P < 0.05). Among 14 patients with lesions involving the central face region, 4 achieved marked improvement and 2 showed improvement; among 15 with lesions involving the lateral face region, 5 recovered completely, 3 achieved marked improvement, and 4 showed improvement; the recovery rate of lesions was higher in the lateral face region than in the central face region ( P < 0.05). Under a dermoscope, the skin lesions showed 4 vascular patterns: short rod-shaped vessels in 3 cases, linear vessels in 4, reticular vessels in 5, and mixed-type vessels in 3. The 3 patients with short rod-shaped vessels all recovered completely; among the 4 patients with linear vessels, 2 achieved marked improvement, and 2 showed improvement; among the 5 patients with reticular vessels, 1 recovered completely, 1 achieved marked improvement, and 3 showed improvement; the 3 patients with mixed-type vessels all showed poor response to the treatment; the proportions of patients who recovered completely and those who achieved improvement significantly differed among the patients with 4 different vascular patterns (both P < 0.05). All the children experienced varying degrees of pain, swelling, purpura, and crusting after treatment, but none exhibited exacerbation of ocular or neurological complications. Conclusion:HMME-PDT was safe and effective in the treatment of PWS in children with SWS, and its efficacy was related to the number of treatment sessions, lesion types and locations.

BackgroundThe incidence of delirium in critically ill psychiatric patients is high， and there are many factors affecting delirium occurrence. At present， epidemiological studies on delirium among critically ill patients in psychiatric hospitals are limited. ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors for delirium in critically ill patients in a psychiatric hospital， so as to guide the clinical management of delirium in psychiatric hospitals. MethodsThis retrospective study included 427 critically ill patients who were admitted to Shenzhen Kangning Hospital from January 1， 2019 to May 31， 2021. The delirium situation， gender， age， pre-admission course of illness （duration from the onset of acute mental state changes to in-patient registration at a psychiatric hospital）， history of mental illness， history of cognitive dysfunction， history of using psychoactive substances， history of using sedative and hypnotic drugs， number of combined chronic diseases， number of combined drugs and type of disease were examined as potential risk factors for delirium. Single Logistic regression was used to analyze the potential risk factors for delirium， and the potential risk factors were incorporated into the multi-factor Logistic regression analysis model so as to gradually screen out the risk factors for delirium in critically ill psychiatric patients. ResultsDelirium was present in 33.49% （143/427） of critically ill patients. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the presence of delirium was associated with mental and behavioral disorders caused by psychoactive substances （OR=8.949， P<0.01）， absent history of mental illness （OR=4.202， P<0.01）， number of combined chronic diseases （OR=1.249， P<0.01）， age （OR=1.031， P<0.01） and pre-admission course of illness （OR=0.942， P<0.01） . ConclusionDelirium was present in nearly 1/3 critically ill patients in the psychiatric hospital. The risk factors for delirium included short course of illness before admission， age， more combined chronic diseases， absent history of mental illness， mental and behavioral disorders caused by psychoactive substances. ［Funded by Shenzhen Fund for Guangdong Provincial High-level Clinical Key Specialties （number， SZGSP013）］
