Objective To evaluate the patient-reported outcome(PRO)of patients with breast cancer who underwent autologous breast reconstruction and implant breast reconstruction.Methods Patients who underwent breast reconstruction in Shanghai Cancer Center,Fudan University from Jan 2020 to Jun 2021 were selected,including 111 patients who underwent autologous breast reconstruction and 108 patients who underwent implant breast reconstruction.Chinese version Breast-Q2.0 scale,breast cancer specificity scale QLQ-BR23 and EORTC quality of life scale QLQ-C30 were used to investigate the PRO of the two groups 18 months after operation.Results The rate of stage Ⅲ breast cancer in the self-weight construction group was higher than that in the implant reconstruction group(64.9%vs.44.4%,P<0.001).The preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative radiotherapy in the autologous reconstruction group were higher than those in the implant reconstruction group(P<0.001).Postoperative chemotherapy and endocrine therapy in the autologous reconstruction group were lower than those in the implant reconstruction group(P<0.001).The study based on Breast-Q scale showed that the breast satisfaction of autologous reconstruction group was higher than that of implant reconstruction(59.28±17.20 vs.54.94±14.48,P<0.05).The study based on QLQ-BR23 showed that the self-weight construction group was higher than the implant reconstruction group in the field of arm symptoms(20.02±20.80 vs.12.65±16.18,P<0.05).The study based on QLQ-C30 scale showed that there was no significant difference in all functional areas and symptom areas of patients.There was no significant difference in the number and time of social regression between the two groups.Conclusion Breast reconstruction can improve the PRO of breast cancer patients,and oncology factors will affect the choice of breast reconstruction.Patients with autologous breast reconstruction are more satisfied with breast appearance,but upper limb symptoms such as swelling and pain are more obvious than implant reconstruction,which is related to the higher proportion of axillary lymph node dissection in patients with autologous reconstruction.There is no significant difference in quality of life and social regression between the two groups.

Objective:To preliminarily explore the association of pregnancy factors with cow's milk protein allergy in infants.Methods:This study was based on data from a subcohort of a study called ge-netic susceptibility to cow's milk allergy in Chinese children,including infants born in Peking University People's Hospital between March 1,2020,and December 31,2020.The infants were divided into a cow's milk protein allergy(CMPA)group and a control group according to whether they had developed cow's milk protein allergy at the age of 1 year.We retrospectively collected the clinical data of infants and their mothers before and during pregnancy,and analyzed the association of multiple factors during pregnancy with cow's milk protein allergy in infants.Results:A total of 278 infants were enrolled in this study,including 52 infants with CMPA and 226 infants without CMPA.Among them,there were 143 boys and 135 girls.The proportion of male infants in the CMPA group(69.2％)was higher than that in the control group(47.3％),and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.004).There were no significant differences in the distribution of birth weight,gestational age at birth,low-birth-weight in-fants,premature,umbilical cord entangle neck,and neonatal asphyxia between the CMPA group and the control group(P＞0.05).The proportion of mothers complicated with autoimmune diseases,anemia or antibiotics exposure during pregnancy in the CMPA group was higher than that in the control group,and there were statistical differences between the two groups(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the distribution of other pregnancy complications between the two groups(P＞0.05),such as eclamp-sia/preeclampsia,chronic hypertension/gestational hypertension,diabetes/gestational diabetes,thyroid diseases,and so on.There was no significant difference in the overall distribution of some blood routine indexes during pregnancy between the CMPA group and the control group(P＞0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis showed that male infant,mothers complicated with autoimmune diseases or ane-mia,antibiotic exposure during pregnancy were independent risk factors for cow's milk protein allergy.Conclusion:Male infant,mothers complicated with autoimmune diseases or anemia,antibiotic exposure during pregnancy were independent risk factors for cow's milk protein allergy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics of pattern-sensitive epilepsy (PSE).Methods:This retrospective case summary study enrolled 4 pediatric patients with PSE treated at the Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2015 to September 2023.The clinical data, EEG findings, treatments, and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 4 patients, 3 were female, and 2 had developmental delays before the onset of the disease.Spontaneous seizures occurred in 3 cases, including spasticity and tonic seizures in case 1, atypical absence seizures, myoclonic seizures, and general tonic-clonic seizures in case 3, and eyelid myoclonic seizures in case 4.All 4 cases exhibited pattern-induced reflex seizures, and pattern-induced seizures with photosensitivity were monitored by EEG in 3 cases.Of the 3 cases, 1 had myoclonic seizures, 1 had eyelid myoclonic seizures, and 1 had both myoclonic seizures and focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures.Two out of the 4 patients were diagnosed with epilepsy syndromes: Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia.All 4 patients had interictal discharges, including 2 cases of generalized discharges, 1 case of multifocal discharges combined with generalized discharges, and 1 case of anterior head discharges.Three cases underwent the detection of whole exon gene and copy number variation, and 1 case showed a novel heterozygous mutation c. 73T>C(p.W25R) in the MBD5 gene on chromosome 2.Three patients were treated with antiseizure medication (ASM), while 1 did not receive ASM treatment because the seizures were all induced.However, none of the 4 had seizures under control after 5 to 10 years of follow-up. Conclusions:PSE is more common in female children and may co-occur with developmental delays and intellectual disabilities.In PSE children, the EEG shows mostly generalized discharges, spontaneous seizures, induced seizures, and predominantly generalized seizures coexist.Reflex seizures in PSE patients are more difficult to control with ASM treatment.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder.Primarily involving the skin and central nervous system, it also impacts the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs.The vast majority of TSC patients may experience neuropsychiatric symptoms during their lifetime, including behavioral, mental, intellectual, academic, neuropsychological, and psychosocial disorders, which are collectively referred to as TSC-associated neuropsychiatric disorders(TAND).The TAND Checklist is a screening tool designed to identify potential neuropsychiatric disorders by facilitating dialogues between TSC patients, their families, and clinicians.This article focuses on the concept and research history of TAND and the application of the TAND Checklist, contributing to the comprehensive and systematic clinical evaluation and understanding of the prognosis of children with TAND.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the occurrence of small for gestational age(SGA)at different degrees and provide a basis for early identification of severe SGA cases.Methods Neonatal and maternal prenatal information were retrospectively collected from January 2018 to December 2022 at Peking University People's Hospital.The neonates were divided into three groups:severe SGA group(birth weight below the 3rd percentile for gestational age and sex),mild SGA group(birth weight ≥3rd percentile and＜10th percentile),and non-SGA group(birth weight ≥10th percentile).An ordered multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the occurrence of SGA at different degrees.Results A total of 14 821 neonates were included,including 258 cases(1.74％)in the severe SGA group,902 cases(6.09％)in the mild SGA group,and 13 661 cases(92.17％)in the non-SGA group.The proportions of preterm births and stillbirths were higher in the severe SGA group compared to the mild SGA and non-SGA groups(P＜0.0125).The proportion of neonatal asphyxia was higher in both the severe SGA and mild SGA groups compared to the non-SGA group(P＜0.0125).Ordered multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that maternal pre-pregnancy underweight(OR=1.838),maternal pre-pregnancy obesity(OR=3.024),in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(OR=2.649),preeclampsia(OR=1.743),connective tissue disease during pregnancy(OR=1.795),nuchal cord(OR=1.213),oligohydramnios(OR=1.848),and intrauterine growth restriction(OR=27.691)were all associated with a higher risk of severe SGA(P＜0.05).Maternal parity as a multipara(OR=0.457)was associated with a lower likelihood of severe SGA(P＜0.05).Conclusions Maternal pre-pregnancy underweight,maternal pre-pregnancy obesity,in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer,preeclampsia,connective tissue disease during pregnancy,oligohydramnios,nuchal cord,and intrauterine growth restriction are closely related to the occurrence of more severe SGA.Maternal parity as a multipara acts as a protective factor against the occurrence of severe SGA.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(3):262-268]

The prevalence of Lyme disease in endogenous populations in Urumqi,Xinjiang was investigated.In total,795 serum samples were collected from residents of three townships in the surrounding area of Urumqi City from 2022 to 2023,which included 383 from Lucaogou Town,145 from Shuixigou Town,and,267 from Tori Township.Serum levels of IgG and IgM antibodies were screened with an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and confirmed by western blot(WB)analysis.Clinical data of WB-positive indi-viduals were collected and comprehensive analysis was con-ducted for case diagnosis.The chi square test was used for statistical analysis of the results and the P＜0.05 was consid-ered statistically significant.In total,110(13.84％)of 795 samples were positive.The positivity rates was higher in females than males[16.26％(73/449)vs.10.69％(37/346),x2=5.076,P=0.024],while there was no significant difference among age groups(x2=2.569,P=0.766).The positivity rates for serum antibodies in Shuixigou Town,Lucaogou Town,and Tuoli Township were 17.98％(48/267),14.48％(21/145),and 10.70％(41/383),respectively,with a significantly higher rate in Tuoli Township than Lucaogou Town(x2=7.041,P=0.008).Of 110 individuals who were initially positive for IgG and IgM antibodies with the ELISA,82(10.31％)were con-firmed positive by WB analysis.In total,20(2.52％)patients were diagnosed with Lyme disease based on clinical manifesta-tions.Lyme disease is epidemic among the population in Urumqi,as the infection rate is higher than the national average.Hence,continued surveillance is recommended for prevention of Lyme disease.

Objective To explore the research hotspots on systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)in pregnancy based on the bibliometric analysis of the related articles published from 2018 to 2023 and provide di-rections for the future research in this field.Methods PubMed,Web of Science,and Embase were searched for the articles on SLE in pregnancy that were published from January 1,2018 to December 31,2023.VOSviewer was used to visualize the high-frequency keywords in the selected articles.Results A total of 266 articles were selected,from which 25 high-frequency keywords were extracted.The bibliometric analysis showed that the available studies about SLE in pregnancy mainly focused on maternal complications,maternal and fetal outcomes,and medica-tions.The studies were limited regarding the predictors,autoimmunity,immunotherapy,and long-term outcomes of offspring.Conclusion Maternal complications,maternal and fetal outcomes,and medications are currently hotspots in the research on SLE in pregnancy,while predictors,autoimmunity,immunotherapy,and long-term outcomes of offspring may become future research directions.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between gestational weight gain (GWG) in twin pregnancies and adverse perinatal outcomes.Methods:This retrospective study included twin pregnant women with live births at≥25 weeks of gestation and their offspring, who delivered at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2012 to October 2022. Total GWG was standardized according to gestational age and categorized into three groups based on the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines: insufficient GWG (GWG below IOM recommendations), appropriate GWG (GWG within IOM recommendations), and excessive GWG (GWG above IOM recommendations). Comparisons between data of the three groups used analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test or Bonferroni correction or Chi-square partitions. Multivariable logistic regression models and generalized estimating equations with logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent effects of GWG on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Results:A total of 794 twin pregnant women and their 1 588 live-born neonates were included in the study. There were 360 women (45.3%) with appropriate GWG, 356 (44.8%) with insufficient GWG, and 78 (9.8%) with excessive GWG. Both insufficient and excessive GWG were associated with an increased risk of preterm birth [adjusted ORs of 1.39 (95% CI: 1.04-1.88) and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.05-2.78), respectively]. Insufficient GWG was associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-2.01) and low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.57-2.66). Insufficient GWG was also associated with a reduced risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.33-0.75), cesarean section (adjusted OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.77), discordant twin growth (adjusted OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.37-0.85), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.35-0.61). Excessive GWG was associated with an increased risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=2.85, 95% CI: 1.65-4.91), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.60-3.86), while with a decreased risk of low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.27-0.65). Conclusions:More than half of the twin pregnancies have GWG outside the recommended range of the IOM guidelines. Both insufficient and excessive GWG are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly an increased risk of preterm birth.

Objective:To analyze the maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnant women with leukemia.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of singleton pregnant women with leukemia and their neonates at the Obstetrics Department of Peking University People's Hospital from June 2009 to May 2021. Statistical analysis was performed using a two-sample t-test, the Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney rank sum test, and the Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test). Results:(1) Ninety-one pregnant women were enrolled in this study, accounting for 2.8‰ of all deliveries during the same period. Among them, there were 15 (16.5%) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 38 (41.8%) with acute myeloid leukemia, and 38 (41.8%) with chronic myelogenous leukemia. Twenty-nine of the 91 pregnancies (31.9%) were terminated in the second or third trimester, and 62 babies (68.1%) were born through spontaneous delivery or cesarean section. The 62 parturients were (30.1±5.0) years old, of whom two died of complications of leukemia within 7 d after delivery, and five were transferred to the intensive care unit after delivery. Of the 62 cases, 18 (29.0%) received a blood transfusion and 12 (19.3%) received chemotherapy during pregnancy. (2) The proportion of patients with unremitted leukemia during pregnancy or newly developed leukemia was higher in women with terminated pregnancy than in those who continued the pregnancy [96.6% (28/29) vs 54.8% (34/62), χ2=15.83, P<0.001]. (3) The gestational age of the 62 newborns was (37.7±2.7) weeks. Premature, low birth weight and small-for-gestational-age infants accounted for 29.0% (18/62), 25.8% (16/62), and 12.9% (8/62), respectively. Hyperbilirubinemia occurred in 10 neonates (16.1%) and hypoglycemia in two (3.2%). Perinatal anoxia and asphyxia were reported in 13 cases (21.0%). Appearance, organ malformations, or chromosomal abnormalities were found in four neonates (6.4%) whose mothers did not receive chemotherapy during pregnancy. Fifty-nine infants underwent routine blood tests within 3 d after birth. The results showed that the mean white blood cell count, hemoglobin concentration, and platelet count were (16.1±7.0)×10 9/L, (181.5±20.0) g/L and (266.2±63.7)×10 9/L, respectively, and no juvenile cells were detected in their peripheral blood samples. Twenty children were followed up to 4 years and 4 months (9 months to 10 years and 3 months). No abnormalities in physical or mental development, motor function, or hematological system were reported. Conclusions:Pregnancy complicated by leukemia is rare and dangerous, which requires an individualized management strategy besides therapy for leukemia. A good prognosis is still expected with appropriate treatment.

Objective:To investigate the prognosis of childhood adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) with cognitive disorder after haploidentical allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT), and to identify risk factors affecting the prognosis.Methods:It was a single-center retrospective study involving 31 ALD children receiving haplo-HSCT in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2014 to October 2022.Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors for the prognosis of childhood ALD following haplo-HSCT. Results:Among the 31 children with ALD, 1 case died of cardiogenic shock during the transplantation, and the remaining had a successful haplo-HSCT.Ten children with ALD had cognitive disorder before haplo-HSCT, including 3 cases with the minimal LOES score ≥10 points and 8 cases with the Neurologic Function Score (NFS)>0 point before haplo-HSCT.Six children had major functional disability (MFD) and 2 cases died due to progression of ALD after haplo-HSCT.Twenty children did not have cognitive disorder before haplo-HSCT, of whom 3 cases had the LOES score≥10 points and 6 cases had NFS>0 before haplo-HSCT.Four children had MFD and 2 cases died due to progression of ALD after haplo-HSCT.For ALD patients without cognitive disorder after haplo-HSCT, the 3-year and 5-year survival rate were 100.0% and 72.9%, respectively, and the 5-year MFD-free survival was 61.6%.For ALD patients with cognitive disorder after haplo-HSCT, the 3-year survival rate was 83.3%.Compared with ALD patients with the LOES score<10 points before haplo-HSCT, those with the LOES score≥10 points had 9.243 times the risk of developing MFD after haplo-HSCT ( P=0.024, 95% CI: 1.332-64.127). Compared with ALD patients without cognitive disorder before haplo-HSCT, ALD patients with cognitive disorder had 9.749 times the risk of developing MFD after haplo-HSCT ( P=0.023, 95% CI: 1.358-66.148). Conclusions:Cognitive disorder and LOES score≥10 points before haplo-HSCT are risk factors for developing MFD in children with ALD following haplo-HSCT.
