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 combination of high risk screening and family screening for potential patients with Fabry disease in adult hemodialysis population, and to improve the diagnostic efficiency of the disease.Methods:It was a cross-sectional investigation study. High-risk screening for Fabry disease was performed on adult hemodialysis patients with end-stage kidney disease who were admitted to Yongkang First People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province between November 2022 and February 2023. Dry blood paper α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) detection assay was performed in males, or glycosphingolipids (Lyso-GL-3) detection assay was performed in females. GLA genetic assay was performed for further diagnosis after abnormal screening results. Family screening was carried out on the family members of the confirmed Fabry disease patients, and α-Gal A activity and Lyso-GL-3 of peripheral blood were measured. Additionally, urine routine, blood biochemistry, eye examination, hearing test, cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and electrocardiogram were performed to assess organ damage. Results:Among 244 hemodialysis patients, 139 (56.97%) were males and 105 (43.03%) were females. The age ranged from 25 to 81 years (with median age of 61 years). One female patient with Fabry disease was identified GLA IVS4+919G>A mutation, resulting in a total prevalence of 0.41%. Pedigree screening was conducted on 41 family members of the patient, leading to the confirmation of 12 patients (including the proband), including 3 males and 9 females. Among them, 9 patients were abnormal in enzyme examination, 10 patients were abnormal in substrate, and 11 patients were abnormal in gene sequencing. None of the 12 patients exhibited limb pain, hypohidrosis, angiokeratoma, corneal opacity, and hearing impairment. Eight patients had heart abnormalities. Nine patients had abnormal urine routine (albuminuria or hematuria) and one patient had abnormal renal function. Four patients had abnormal cranial magnetic resonance imaging findings. Conclusions:One GLA IVS4+919G>A mutation family is successfully identified through the combination of high-risk screening and family screening in adult hemodialysis patients, with a total of 12 cases of Fabry disease. The combination of high-risk screening and family screening proves to be effective in detecting potential patients with Fabry disease, and improve the screening efficiency of Fabry disease.

Objective:To investigate the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of patients with Fabry disease caused by a GLA variant, IVS4+919G>A.Methods:It was a prospective study. Fabry disease screening was conducted among high-risk population in Ninghai from October 2021 to August 2023. Those children with decreased α-galactosidase enzyme activity<2.40 μmol/(L·h) or elavated Lyso-GL-3 level>1.10 μg/L in dried blood spot (DBS) method underwent GLA genetic testing for diagnosis confirmation. Meanwhile, family screening was carried out. A proband and his family members diagnosed with Fabry disease were research subjects. The clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with Fabry disease caused by the GLA variant (IVS4+919G>A) were analyzed.Results:The female proband aged 9.8 years with pain in both lower limbs as the initial symptom was found to have a heterozygous GLA variant IVS4+919G>A among 102 patients. In family screening, there were 4 family members (proband's father, elder sister, elder male cousin and elder female cousin) with Fabry disease and a family member (proband's fifth aunt) with a GLA variant. Among these 4 diagnosed family members, the elder male cousin of the proband, a boy aged 13.2 years had a heterozygous GLA variant, IVS4+919G>A with intermittent pain in both lower limbs as the initial symptom. The proband′s father had knee joint pain. The proband′s elder sister had decreased vision and his elder female cousin had no obvious symptoms. The proband′s fifth aunt with a GLA variant had decreased vision.Conclusions:High-risk screening in children and family screening are helpful for early diagnosis and treatment of Fabry disease. Neuropathic pain may be a early symptom in children with Fabry disease caused by the GLA variant, IVS4+919G>A.

Objective To compare the impact of continuous profound neuromuscular blockade versus con-ventional neuromuscular blockade on postoperative shoulder pain in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery during steep Trendelenburg position.Methods This study was a single-center,randomized,double-blind clinical trial.The inclusion criteria encompassed individuals aged between 18 and 80 years,with an American Society of Anesthesiologists status of Ⅰ or Ⅱ,and a body mass index ranging from 18 kg/m2 to 30 kg/m2.A total of one hundred patients were randomly assigned to either the deep neuromuscular blockade group(D group)or the conventional neuromuscular blockade group(C group),with equal distribution of fifty cases in each group.Rocuronium dosage was titrated to achieve post-tetanic count values of 1~2 and train-of-four stimulation levels of 1~2 during surgery for D and C groups respectively.At the end of surgery,sugammadex was administered for reversal of neuromuscular blockade.The primary endpoint assessed the incidence of postoperative shoulder pain within three days after surgery.Secondary endpoints included Leiden score evaluation during intraoperative period,number of additional neuromus-cular blockers required by the surgeon,recovery time for muscle relaxation postoperatively,nausea and vomiting scores during recovery phase,visual analog scale(VAS)scores in Post-Anesthesia Care Unit(PACU)as well as within three days after surgery,incidence rate for postoperative pulmonary complications,length of hospital stay duration and patient satisfaction score.Results The incidence of postoperative shoulder pain was significantly lower in group D compared to group C(D group 32%vs.C group 56%;P<0.05).However,there were no significant differences in postoperative shoulder pain VAS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of Leiden score,surgeon's requirement for additional neuromuscular blockers,nausea and vomiting in PACU,and VAS score(P>0.05).Group D exhibited better early postoperative activity pain scores than group C(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in VAS scores between the groups at other time points(P>0.05).Furthermore,there were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications,length of stay,and satisfaction scores between the two groups.Conclusion The imple-mentation of continuous deep neuromuscular blockade in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery with steep Trendelenburg position can effectively mitigate the occurrence of postoperative shoulder pain.
