Objective:To detect the pharmacokinetic(PK)parameters of coagulation factor Ⅷ(FⅧ)in adult patients with severe hemophilia A,identify the potential factors influencing FⅧ PK,and optimize the use of FⅧ in individual prophylaxis regimens.Methods:PK characteristics of FⅧ were studied in a total of 23 severe hemophilia A adults.The correlation of patients'characteristics including age,von Willebrand factor antigen(vWF:Ag),blood group,weight,body mass index(BMI)and FⅧ genotype,with FⅧ PK were evaluated.Individual prophylaxis regimens were given based on FⅧ PK parameters.Results:The mean terminal half-life(t1/2)of FⅧ was 20.6±9.3 h,ranged from 11.47 h to 30.12 h.The age(r=0.580)and vWF:Ag(r=0.814)were significantly positively correlated with t1/2 of FⅧ.The mean area under the plasma concentration curve(AUC)of FⅧ was 913±399(328-1 878)IU h/dl,and the AUC of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.557)and vWF:Ag(r=0.784).The mean residence time(MRT)of FⅧ was 24.7±12.4(13.2-62.2)h,and the MRT of FⅧ was positively correlated with age(r=0.664)and vWF:Ag(r=0.868).The mean in vivo recovery(IVR)of FⅧ was 2.59±0.888(1.5-4.29)IU/dl per IU/kg,the mean clearance(CL)of FⅧ was 3±1.58(0.97-7.18)ml/(kg·h),and there was no significant correlation of IVR and CL with age and vWF:Ag.According to the individual PK parameters,ultra low-dose,low-dose and moderate-dose FⅧ were applied to 15,6,2 adults patients with severe hemophilia A for prophylaxis,respectively.Conclusion:There are significant individual differences in the FⅧ half-life of adult patients with severe hemophilia A.The older the patient,the higher the vWF:Ag level,and the longer the FⅧ half-life.Individual administration is required based on the FⅧ PK parameters to optimize prophylaxis treatment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of influenza in Hainan province,to provide evidence to support influenza prevention and control efforts.Pathogen monitoring data of influenza-like illness(ILI)in six national sentinel hospitals in Hainan province from 2013 to 2021 were analyzed in SPSS 20.0 software.A total of 50 415 ILI cases were detected during the 2013-2021 season,of which 5 581 were positive for influenza viruses,with a positivity rate of 11.07％.The dominant strains were type B,type A(H1N1)pdm09 and type A(H3N2).The positivi-ty rate of influenza virus was highest in people 5-14 years of age(17.56％)and lowest in people 0-4 years of age(7.32％).Influenza activity showed both a summer peak and a winter-spring peak in the 2014-2016,2017-2018 and 2019-2020 sea-sons,and was concentrated in April to September,with a maximum peak of 53.64％,and in November to March of the next year,with a peak of 47.30％.The 2013-2014,2016-2017 and 2018-2019 seasons showed only a winter-spring peak concen-trated between October and March of the next year,with a maximum peak of 54.17％,but no obvious summer peak.The pre-dominant influenza viruses during the eight surveillance seasons varied among H1N1,H3N2 and type B.The positive detection rate of influenza virus steeply declined during the 2020-2021 season:the positive detection rate was only 0.25％,and no obvi-ous epidemic period was observed.The intensity of influenza epidemic varied among monitoring years,and the dominant strains changed rapidly in Hainan Province.People 5-14 years of age were the key population affected.Summer,winter and spring were the key periods for influenza prevention and control.Etiological surveillance of influenza should continue to be strength-ened,the roles of health education and publicity should be emphasized,and the dual measures of influenza vaccination and non-drug intervention should be actively promoted to decrease the occurrence of influenza.

OBJECTIVE: To rank the effectiveness of various moxibustion methods on the quality of life in tumor patients, and explore the best treatment plan of moxibustion for improving the quality of life in tumor patients from the perspective of evidence-based medicine. METHODS: The Chinese and English literature of randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the effect of moxibustion on the quality of life in tumor patients were searched in PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, SinoMed, Wanfang and VIP. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the databases to October 31, 2020. The R3.6.2 and Stata15.0 software were used for network Meta-analysis based on Bayesian model. RESULTS: A total of 30 Chinese RCTs were included, including 2 169 patients, involving 16 interventions. In terms of the effectiveness of improving quality of life, the top three treatments were special moxibustion plus other therapies 1 (either of tendon acupuncture, acupoint pressing, acupoint injection, etc.), wheat-grain moxibustion and mild moxibustion. The special moxibustion methods were the combination of fire-dragon moxibustion, thunder-fire moxibustion, fuyang fire moxibustion and moxa salt-bag moxibustion. The number of literature of these four moxibustion methods was small. Considering the clinical application of moxibustion, it was concluded that wheat-grain moxibustion ranked first. CONCLUSION The adjuvant treatment of wheat-grain moxibustion is more effective than other moxibustion methods on improving the quality of life in tumor patients, but the results needed to be further verified because the bias risk of RCT included in this study is high and the sample size is small.

Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of automated classification of ICD-O-3 morphology code from pathology reports by text-mining and support vector machine ( SVM ) , in order to provide basis for automated tumor coding in Chinese. Methods: The tumor report cards of Zhejiang residents from 2017 to 2019 were collected from Chronic Disease Surveillance Information Management System of Zhejiang Province. According to ICD-O-3, the keywords of the pathology reports were extracted, and SVM was used for automatic classification. The classification results were compared with those of 16 professionals with more than two years of experience in tumor coding, and the accuracy rate, recall rate and F-score were calculated for effect evaluation. Results: Totally 83 082 cases from 2017 to 2019 were included and were categorized into 17 morphological classifications, with 52 877 ( 63.65% ) cases of adenocarcinoma, squamous carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma. A total of 1 090 keywords were enrolled into main corpus. The total F-score, accuracy rate and recall rate are 85.69, 77.20% and 96.27%, respectively. Conclusion Text-mining combined with SVM can improve the efficiency of ICD-O-3 morphology coding; however, the accuracy needs to be further improved.

Objective:To evaluate the value of whole exome sequencing (WES) in prenatal clinical application.Methods:A total of 1 152 cases of congenital abnormal [including structural malformation, nuchal translucency (NT) thickening and intrauterine growth restriction] with traditional prenatal diagnosis [including G-band karyotype analysis and chromosome microarray analysis (CMA)] negative were analyzed. The congenital abnormal fetuses were divided into retrospective group and prospective group according to the time of WES detection, that is whether the pregnancy termination or not. According to the specific location of fetal malformation and their family history, the cohort was divided into subgroups. The clinical prognosis of all fetuses were followed up, and the effect of WES test results on pregnancy decision-making and clinical intervention were analyzed. According to the follow-up results, the data of fetuses with new phenotypes in the third trimester or after birth were re-analyzed.Results:Among 1 152 families who received WES, 5 families were excluded because of nonbiological parents. Among the remaining 1 147 families, 152 fetuses obtained positive diagnosis (13.3%,152/1 147), including 74 fetuses in the retrospective group (16.1%,74/460) and 78 fetuses in the prospective group (11.4%,78/687). In fetuses with negative CMA and G-band karyotype analysis results but new phenotypes in the third trimester or after birth, the positive rate by WES data re-analysis was 4.9% (8/163). A total of 34 (21.3%, 34/160) fetuses were directly affected by the corresponding positive molecular diagnosis. Among 68 cases of live births with diagnostic variation grade 4, 29 cases (42.7%, 29/68) received appropriate medical intervention through rapid review of WES results.Conclusions:WES could increase the detection rate of abnormal fetuses with negative G-banding karyotype analysis and CMA by 13.3%. Prenatal WES could guide pregnancy decision-making and early clinical intervention. It might be an effective strategy to pay attention to the special follow-up of the third trimester and postnatal fetus and to re-analyze the WES data.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for fetal duodenal obstruction (DO). METHODS: Fifty-one fetuses with DO identified by prenatal ultrasound were divided into DO only group and DO with other anomaly group. CMA was carried out on amniotic fluid or umbilical blood samples, and the outcome of pregnancy of all cases were followed up. RESULTS: Eight fetuses (15.7%) were found with genomic abnormalities, which included 3 chromosomal aneuploidies and 5 copy number variations (CNVs), including one 17q12 microduplication syndrome, one 13q21.33q31.1 microdeletion, one 13q21.32q22.3 deletion, one 13q21.2q31.1 deletion and one 1q43q44 duplication. EDNRB from 13q and HNF1B from 17q12 are candidate genes for fetal DO. No significant difference was found in the detection rate of pathogenic CNVs between the DO only and DO with other anomaly groups (9.5% vs.11.1%, P> 0.05). There were 39 live borns, 1 stillbirth, and 11 artificial abortions (8 with abnormal CMA results). CONCLUSION There is a correlation between fetal DO and abnormal copy number of the genome, for which prenatal diagnosis is necessary. CMA not only can detect microdeletions/microduplications, but also identify pathogenic genes, which can facilitate prenatal diagnosis, genetic counseling and prognosis for the fetus.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application value of whole exome sequencing technology in fetuses with congenital structural abnormalities. METHODS: The chromosomal abnormalities of 1147 families were analyzed. According to the follow-up results, the data of fetuses with new phenotypes in late pregnancy or after birth were reanalyzed. Subgroups were divided according to the organs involved and whether single malformation or not. The gene regulatory network map was drawn by using string database and Cytoscape software. Fisher exact probability method was used to compare the difference of the diagnostic rate of pathogenic genes among the groups. RESULTS: A total of 160 fetal cases received positive molecular diagnosed, involving 178 variant sites of 125 pathogenic genes, including 8 cases (4.9%, 8/163) by data reanalysis, and the overall positive diagnosis rate was 13.9%. Diagnostic rate was highest in the group of skeletal malformation (31.5%, 39/124) and lowest in that with thoracic malformation (0, 0/32). The gene clusters of fetal edema and intrauterine growth restriction were independent, and were not associated with the major structural malformations. The probability of each parent carrying the same recessive gene variant was 0.03 (39/1146) and 0.08 (4/53) with positive family history. CONCLUSION For fetuses with congenital structural abnormalities that are negative for conventional genetic tests, 13.9% of phenotypic associated pathogenic/likely pathogenic genetic variants can be detected by whole exome sequencing technology. Its application value for prenatal diagnosis varies in fetus with different organs involved. Reanalysis of sequencing data for cases with new phenotypes in late pregnancy or after birth can further improve the molecular diagnosis rate. Further investigations are needed to explore the related genetic mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of fetuses with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) by whole exome sequencing (WES). METHODS: WES was performed on DNA extracted from cord blood samples of 26 fetuses with unexplained CAKUT with/without other structural anomalies. In the first 19 cases, sequencing was performed on fetal DNA only, and the turnaround time was 11-12 weeks. For the remaining 7 cases, the fetus and its parents were sequenced simultaneously, and the turnaround time was 8-9 weeks. RESULTS: Of the 26 cases, pathogenic variants were identified in 4 (15.4%) cases, which respectively involved UMOD, NEK8, HNF1B, and BBS2 genes, and likely pathogenic variants were identified in 2 (7.7%) cases, which respectively involved HSPD1 and GRIN2B genes. Two of the 4 cases had other anomalies in addition to CAKUT. Thus, the detection rate was only 2/19 (10.5%) for isolated CAKUT and 4/7 (57.1%) for CAKUT with additional anomalies. CONCLUSION The application of WES as a prenatal diagnostic approach for CAKUT fetuses with or without other anomalies allowed early and accurate diagnosis and improved their clinical management.

Objective: Analysis of the molecular characteristics of eosinophilia. Methods: Targeting sequence to 24 patients with chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) with rearrangement of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, or FGFR1 and 62 patients with hyper-eosinophilic syndrome (HES). Mutation annotation and analysis of amino acid mutation using authoritative databases to speculate on possible pathogenic mutation. Results: Thirty-seven kinds of clonal variant were detected from 17 patients with CEL, no recurrent mutation site and hot spot region were found. No pathogenic mutation was detected in 19 patients with PDGFRA rearrangement, but pathogenic mutations of ASXL1, RUNX1 and NRAS were detected from 2 patients with FGFR1 rearrangement who progressed to acute myeloid leukemia and 1 patient with PDGFRB rearrangement who progressed to T lymphoblastic lymphoma, respectively. One hundred and two kinds of clonal abnormalities were detected in 49 patients with HES. The main hot spot mutation regions included: CEBPA Exon1, TET2 Exon3, ASXL1 Exon12, IDH1 Y208C, and FGFR3 L164V. CRRLF2 P224L and PDGFRB R370C point mutations were detected separately in 2 patients with HES who treated with imatinib monotherapy and achieved hematologic remission. Conclusion The pathogenesis of CEL with PDGFRA, PDGFRB or FGFR1 rearrangement is usually single, and the progression of the disease may involve other driver mutation. A variety of genes with hot mutation regions may be involved in the pathogenesis of HES, and some mutation sites are sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
