Objective :
To investigate the fertility level of registered population in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality and the incidence of adverse birth outcomes of live births from 2013 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for improving maternal and child health care strategies.
Methods:
The data pertaining to live births registered in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2022 were collected through the Shanghai Birth Medical Information System, including the basic information of live births and maternal fertility. The indicators such as fertility level, parity, birth age and incidence of adverse birth outcomes of live births were descriptively analyzed. The trend of crude birth rate and total fertility rate was analyzed by annual percent change (APC).
Results:
A total of 56 719 live births were registered in Baoshan District from 2013 to 2022. The crude birth rate was 6.54‰, the total fertility rate was 31.78‰, and the sex ratio at birth was 105.61. The crude birth rate showed a downward trend from 2016 to 2022 (APC=-11.054%, P<0.05), and the total fertility rate showed a downward trend from 2017 to 2022 (APC=-10.377%, P<0.05). The proportion of second parity and above showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2017 (P<0.05) and a decreasing trend from 2017 to 2022 (P<0.05). The maternal childbearing age showed an increasing trend from 2013 to 2022 (P<0.05), the incidence of premature infants and low birth weight infants showed an increasing trend (both P<0.05). The incidence of premature infants and low birth weight infants increased with the rising childbearing age (both P<0.05).
Conclusions
The fertility level in Baoshan District was relatively low from 2013 to 2022. The proportion of second parity and above showed an upward trend followed by a downward trend. The incidence of premature infants and low birth weight infants increased with the rising childbearing age.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 85 newly diagnosed patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), as well as the prognostic value of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in patients with FL aged ≥ 60 years old.Methods:The clinical data and prognosis of 85 newly diagnosed FL patients admitted from August 2011 to June 2022 were collected. The clinical features, laboratory indicators, therapeutic efficacy, survival and prognostic factors of patients were statistically analyzed, and the prognosis of patients was stratified using various geriatric assessment tools.Results:① The patients with FL were mostly middle-aged and older, with a median age of 59 (20-87) years, including 41 patients (48.2%) aged ≥60 years. The ratio of male to female was 1∶1.36. Overall, 77.6% of the patients were diagnosed with Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and 17 cases (20.0%) were accompanied by B symptoms. Bone marrow involvement was the most common (34.1%). ②Overall, 71 patients received immunochemotherapy. The overall response rate was 86.6%, and the complete recovery rate was 47.1% of 68 evaluated patients. Disease progression or relapse in the first 2 years was observed in 23.9% of the patient. Overall, 14.1% of the patients died during follow-up. ③Of the 56 patients receiving R-CHOP-like therapies, the 3-year and 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 85.2% and 72.8%, respectively, and the 3-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 95.9% and 88.8%, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that age ≥60 years old ( HR=3.430, 95% CI 1.256-9.371, P=0.016), B symptoms ( HR=5.030, 95% CI 1.903-13.294, P=0.016), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) <45.25 ( HR=3.478, 95% CI 1.299-9.310, P=0.013), Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index (FLIPI) high-risk ( HR=2.918, 95% CI 1.074-7.928, P=0.036), and PRIMA-prognostic index (PRIMA-PI) high-risk ( HR=2.745, 95% CI 1.057-7.129, P=0.038) significantly predicted PFS. Moreover, age ≥60 years old and B symptoms were independent risk factors for PFS. Progression of disease within 24 months (POD24) significantly predicted OS in the univariate analysis. Conclusions:FL is more common among middle-aged and older women. Age, B symptoms, PNI score, FLIPI high-risk, PRIMA-PI high-risk, and POD24 influenced PFS and OS. The CGA can be used for treatment selection and risk prognostication in older patients with FL.

ObjectiveTo determine the epidemiological characteristics and distributions of measles in Baoshan District, Shanghai. MethodsThis study used the measles surveillance information and reporting system to collect reported cases of measles in Baoshan District in 2005‒2021 and then conducted descriptive epidemiological methods to determine the temporality using the concentration method. ResultsIn 2005‒2021, a total of 525 measles cases were reported in Baoshan District with an average annual reported incidence rate of 1.75/105, showing an overall fluctuating downward trend and obvious seasonality. The cases concentrated in 30‒39 years of age (31.24%), 20‒29 years (28.57%), and under 5 years (16.57%). Majority of them were workers (18.10%), preschool children (16.19%), and unemployed persons (12.76%). The incidence was significantly higher in the central region than in the other two regions for workers, preschool children, and unemployed persons (χ2=54.515, P<0.001). Spatially, the incidence was significantly higher in the north-central sub-districts than in the south (χ2=88.103, P<0.001). Moreover, 33.14% of measles cases did not receive measles-containing vaccine (MCV), while 53.90% of the cases remained unknown. Additionally, uptake rate of MCV in non-local residents was significantly lower than in local residents (χ2=14.422, P<0.001). ConclusionThe measles incidence remains remarkably low in Baoshan District of Shanghai. Young and middle-aged populations in the north-central region are susceptible to measles. It is recommended to further strengthen measles surveillance, maintain high coverage of MCV among school-age children combined with catch-up immunization for at-risk populations, and improve health education.

Objective:To explore the prenatal ultrasound manifestations of fetal congenital right aortic arch and its diagnostic significance.Methods:The characteristics of prenatal ultrasound images (focusing on the three vessel trachea section) and clinical data of 128 cases of fetal congenital right aortic arch diagnosed in Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Center(Group) from January 2014 to January 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among 128 cases of fetal congenital right aortic arch, 111 cases were right aortic arch and leftductus arteriosus with aberrant left subclavian artery (RAA-LDA-ALSA), 1 case was diagnosed as left aortic arch atresia of double aortic arch by operation after birth; 9 cases were right aortic arch and right ductus arteriosus (RAA-RDA); 6 cases were mirror-image right active aortic arch and left ductus arteriosus connected to descending aorta (RAA-BAMB-LDA-DAO); 2 cases were mirror-image right aortic arch and left ductus arteriosus connected to the left innominate artery (RAA-BAMB-LDA-LINA). The three vessels and trachea view (3VT) had characteristic sonographic features.If necessary, coronary section of the upper thoracic aorta and / or stic were added - HD live flow technology assisted the diagnosis of 3vt section.Conclusions:Three vessel trachea view is a sensitive and effective view for prenatal detection and diagnosis of congenital right aortic arch. Upper thoracic aorta coronal section and combined stic - HD live flow technology can make up for its shortcomings. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of right aortic arch hasguiding significance for prenatal prognosis consultation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of 2 algorithm models, cascade channel model and combined wavelet with linear prediction coefficient(LPC), on extracting the hypernasal format parameters of cleft palate speech.Methods:The voice of 859 patients, 421 male and 438 female with average age of 12.1 years, were collected from the speech data of the Department of Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery of West China Hospital of Stomatology of Sichuan University. The patients were classified into 216 normal speech patients, 220 low-level hypernasal patients, 213 moderate-level hypernasal patients and 210 high-level hypernasal patients. 62 707 speech samples were collected. Cascade channel model and combined wavelet with LPC were used to combine the K-nearest neighbor classifier respectively to distinguish the hypernasal level, and the result were compared with the golden standard, i. e. the speech evaluation result. The result were analyzed statistically with chi-square test.Results:Compared to the cascaded channel model, levels combined wavelet with LPC achieved significantly higher accuracy of all hypernasal levels ( P<0.05). Among all different mis-classifications, the most common error of the 2 models was misjudging normal speech patients as low-level hypernasal patients (for cascaded channel model: 41/216, 18.98%; for combined wavelet with LPC: 32/216, 14.81%). Conclusions:Two algorithm models based on formant parameters for hypernasal recognition of cleft palate was established. Combined wavelet with LPC both realized the automatic identification of hypernasal level in Mandarin Chinese. The average classification accuracy of hypernasal level evaluation by using combined wavelet with LPC is higher.

Objective:To understand the clinical phenotype and spectrum of ATP7B gene mutation in children with Wilson’s disease (WD). Methods:A total of 55 cases diagnosed with WD at the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2012 to June 2018 were taken as the research subject. ATP7B gene point mutation was detected by direct sequencing after PCR amplification. Heterozygous mutation in children was discovered by sequencing. Furthermore, the long segment mutation of exon was analyzed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). Results:All 55 WD children had varying degree of liver damage symptoms. Among them, 2 cases had combined neurological symptoms. The positive rates of K-F ring (21%), 24-hour urine copper (97.7%), and ceruloplasmin were all abnormal. The results of ATP7B gene had identified 8 homozygous, 41 compound heterozygous and 6 heterozygous in 55 cases. Direct sequencing method had detected ten cases of ATP7B heterozygotes. In addition, MLPA analysis showed that other allele in four cases had a deletion of the ATP7B gene exon. In all cases, 35 different ATP7B gene mutations were detected, including 23 missense mutations, 3 frameshift mutations, 4 nonsense mutations, 3 exon deletions and 2 splicing changes. The most common allele mutation was c.2333G > T/p.R778L in exon 8, with an allele frequency of 36.54%, followed by c.2975C > T/p.P992L in exon 13, with an allele frequency of 14.42%. Conclusion:ATP7B gene c.2333G > T/p.R778L and c.2975C > T/p.P992L mutations are the most common mutations in children with WD in China. WD patients report shows that there are three long deletion mutations in the exon of the ATP7B gene. For WD children whose DNA sequencing is heterozygous ATP7B gene, it is suggested to further use MLPA method to detect deletion mutations of exons.
