Microtubulin disease,which is rare in prenatal settings,is characterized by severe brain developmental abnormalities due to mutations in the microtuberin gene.In this article,a patient diagnosed with TUBB3-related microtubule proteinopathy during prenatal testing was reported,serving as a reference for prenatal physicians. A 33-year-old pregnant woman,who was 23 +5 weeks pregnant,visited to Peking University First Hospital Ningxia Women and Children's Hospital. During a prenatal ultrasound examination,it was discovered that the fetal brain midline was curved,the septum pellucida was twisted,the left lateral fissure had an oblique platform shape,the left lateral ventricle was enlarged,and there were left thoracic cystadenoma and right ventricular hyperechoic plaques. Whole exome sequencing was performed and revealed a mutation in the TUBB3 gene. The pregnancy was terminated at 26 +6 weeks of gestation. Prenatal ultrasound can detect some signs of microtubule protein disease,and genetic testing is recommended for prenatal diagnosis to comprehensively assess the prognosis of the fetus.

On-site supervision is a risk-based regulatory system that requires the scientific development of supervision plans for quality risks and hidden dangers in pharmaceutical enterprises, the rational allocation of supervision resources based on their risk levels, and the implementation of classified supervision measures. In this study, the quality risk monitoring business support system is set up for pharmaceutical enterprises by establishing the quality risk expert database and quality risk monitoring index system for pharmaceutical enterprises based on the difficulty analysis of on-site drug supervision. Based on this support system, the quality risk classification method, the differentiated spot check strategy and business auxiliary visualization system are established. This support system is used to learn the risk level of pharmaceutical enterprises, so as to innovate supervision methods and optimize monitoring strategies. Taking Jiangxi Province as an example, it is verified that the support system can guide the risk assessment of sample enterprises, can improve the targeting of on-site drug supervision in the process of technical review, scheme editing, on-site implementation and comprehensive evaluation, and can effectively improve the quality and efficiency of supervision.

Objective::To use fetal heart quantification ( fetal HQ) technology to compare the coarctation of the aorta (CoA) and normal fetal heart structure and systolic function and to assess whether there are abnormalities in the fetal heart structure and systolic function associated with CoA. Methods::This prospective cohort study was conducted from May 2020 to December 2022 and involved 18-40-week-old singleton pregnancies and 30 fetuses diagnosed with CoA using fetal echocardiography at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University and Peking University First Hospital Ningxia Women’s and Children’s Hospital, China. The control group contained 60 normal fetuses. The following parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically: four-chamber view (4CV) end-diastolic long diameter, 4CV epicardial-contralateral epicardial transverse maximum diameter, 4CV global sphericity index (GSI), left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) 24-segment end-diastolic diameter (EDD), 24-segment sphericity index (SI), LV-fractional area change (LV-FAC), LV-longitudinal strain (LV-LS), RV-fractional area change (RV-FAC), RV-longitudinal strain (RV-LS), and LV and RV 24-segment transverse fractional shortening (FS). Measurement data were compared between the two groups using an independent sample t test, with P < 0.05 indicating statistically significant differences. Moreover, the correlation between gestational age and GSI, LV-FAC, LV-LS, RV-FAC, and RV-LS was assessed. Results::Within and between observer comparisons of the parameters associated with major cardiac function revealed an intragroup correlation coefficient of >0.9, indicating high consistency, and a coefficient of variable of <1 %, indicating low variability. Correlation analysis revealed no obvious correlation between gestational age and GSI, LV-FAC, LV-LS, RV-FAC, and RV-LS. A comparison of the four-chamber morphological structural parameters of the hearts in the two groups revealed that when compared with the control group, the 4CV end-diastolic long diameter was shortened in fetuses in the CoA group and the epicardial-contralateral epicardial transverse maximum diameter was wider, while the GSI was lower ( P < 0.05). A comparison of the LV and RV morphological structure parameters between the two groups revealed that when compared with the control group, the LV’s 24-segment EDD was smaller in the CoA group, the RV’s 24-segment EDD was greater in the control group, the SI of the LV’s segments 16-24 was greater than in the control group, and the SI of the RV’s segments 7-24 was less than in the control group (all P < 0.05). When compared with fetuses in the control group, the LV’s segments 16-24 were greater in the CoA group, whereas the RV’s segment 6-24 was smaller ( P < 0.05). When compared with the control group, LV-FAC, RV-FAC, and LS were lower in the CoA group ( P < 0.05). The FS of the LV segments 1-24 and the FS of the RV segments 1-16 were smaller in the CoA group than in the normal group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion::Fetal HQ, a new simple technique that offers rapid analysis and high repeatability, can quantitatively evaluate structural and systolic function changes in fetuses with CoA.

The comparison between traditional Chinese medicine Jinzhen oral liquid (JZOL) and Western medicine in treating children with acute bronchitis (AB) showed encouraging outcomes. This trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the JZOL for improving cough and expectoration in children with AB. 480 children were randomly assigned to take JZOL or ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution for 7 days. The primary outcome was time-to-cough resolution. The median time-to-cough resolution in both groups was 5.0 days and the antitussive onset median time was only 1 day. This randomized controlled trial showed that JZOL was not inferior to cough suppressant and phlegm resolving western medicine in treating cough and sputum and could comprehensively treat respiratory and systemic discomfort symptoms. Combined with clinical trials, the mechanism of JZOL against AB was uncovered by network target analysis, it was found that the pathways in TRP channels like IL-1β/IL1R/TRPV1/TRPA1, NGF/TrkA/TRPV1/TRPA1, and PGE2/EP/PKA/TRPV1/TRPA1 might play important roles. Animal experiments further confirmed that inflammation and the immune regulatory effect of JZOL in the treatment of AB were of vital importance and TRP channels were the key mechanism of action.

Objective To understand the HPV vaccination situation in the vaccination clinic of Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and to guide the rational use of the vaccine. Methods The vaccination information and the information on HPV vaccine inoculated subjects in the clinic of Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2018 to 2019 were analyzed. Results A total of 5 714 HPV vaccination subjects were analyzed, among which the largest proportion (48.97%) was in the 20-26.5 years old group, and the smallest proportion (1.12%) was in the 9-15 years old group. The 9-valent HPV vaccination accounted for 98.72% of the 20-26.5-year-old group. There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of vaccination populations between the bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines (P<0.01,χ2=252.85), and between the bivalent and 9-valent HPV vaccines (P<0.01,χ2=258.15). The vaccination rate of the bivalent HPV vaccine was 88.25% (894/1 013), and the vaccination rate of the quadrivalent HPV vaccine was 94.43% (1 915/2 028). The difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.02, P=0.043). Conclusion Vaccination subjects tend to choose high-valent HPV vaccines, and the proportion of HPV vaccination in the younger age group is seriously insufficient. Both bivalent and quadrivalent HPV vaccines have relatively high overall vaccination rates. The next step should be to strengthen the vaccination publicity for younger age groups.
