RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the indications for prenatal diagnosis and pregnancy outcomes of fetal Turner syndrome (TS) with different karyotypes.Methods:Clinical data of TS cases diagnosed by fetal karyotyping in the Prenatal Diagnostic Center of Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center from January 1, 2010, to June 30, 2021, were analyzed retrospectively. According to the karyotyping results, these cases were divided into two groups: monosomy X (45,X) and non-monosomy X groups (including karyotypes of mosaic monosomy X, isochromosome X, X deletion, X rearrangement, pseudodicentric X, and mosaicism with Y or Y deletion). Chi-square test was used to compare the detection rate, indications for prenatal diagnosis, and pregnancy outcomes of the two groups, and the Bonferroni test was conducted for further pairwise comparisons between the subgroups. The Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test) was used to compare the abnormal ultrasound signs. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the nuchal translucency (NT) thickness of the two groups. Results:(1) Invasive prenatal diagnosis was performed on 27 981 pregnancies, and 205 (0.73%) of them were diagnosed with TS, including 135 cases of monosomy X and 70 cases of non-monosomy X (44 with numerical sex chromosome abnormalities, and 26 with structural sex chromosome abnormalities). (2) Out of the 205 pregnancies, 164 (80.0%) had one indication for prenatal diagnosis, and 41 (20.0%) had multiple indications. The detection rate of fetal ultrasonographic abnormalities [85.2% (115/135)] in monosomy X cases was significantly higher than that of three other indications [positive serological screening for Down's syndrome: 67.3% (35/52); positive non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for sex chromosome abnormality: 60.0% (15/25); and other indications (advanced maternal age, adverse pregnancy history and thalassemia genes carried by both parents): 5.2% (7/135); all P<0.05], and also higher than the figure in non-monosomy X cases [25.7% (18/70), χ 2=71.55, P<0.001]. In non-monosomy X cases, the detection rates of TS among cases with high-risk results from serological screening for Down's syndrome and NIPT for sex chromosome abnormality [54.7% (29/53) and 68.3% (28/41)] were higher than those of the other two indications [fetal ultrasonographic abnormalities: 25.7% (18/70), other indications: 14.3% (10/70); all P<0.05]. (3) Of the 133 pregnancies with fetal ultrasonographic abnormalities as the indication, 65 (48.9%) had one abnormal ultrasound sign, and 68 (51.1%) had multiple signs. Among the 95 cases with ultrasound abnormalities in the first trimester and 38 cases in the second or third trimester, the incidence of cystic hygroma and hydrops was significantly higher in monosomy X cases than in non-monosomy X cases [in the first trimester: 71.8% (61/85) vs 1/10, 34.1% (29/85) vs 0/10; in the second or third trimester: 73.3% (22/30) vs 0/8, 50.0% (15/30) vs 0/8; Fisher's exact test, all P<0.05]. NT thickness in monosomy X cases was greater than that of non-monosomy X cases [7.5 mm (1.0-17.4 mm) vs 1.7 mm (0.8-9.5 mm), Z=-5.25, P<0.001]. (4) Among the 72 pregnancies with indications other than ultrasound abnormalities, 68 underwent Down's syndrome screening and 61 underwent NIPT. The detection rates among the cases with positive results in Down's syndrome screening, NIPT for a sex chromosome abnormality, and other indications (advanced maternal age, adverse pregnancy history, and thalassemia genes carried by both parents) were 54.4% (37/68), 59.0% (36/61) and 22.2% (16/72), respectively ( χ 2=22.40, P<0.001). The detection rates of the cases with high-risk results from Down's syndrome screening and NIPT for sex chromosome abnormality were higher than that of the cases with other indications ( χ 2=18.77 and 15.40, both P<0.001). Of the 72 pregnancies, 19 (26.4%) were monosomy X and 53 (73.6%) were non-monosomy X, including 42 (58.3%) with chromosomal mosaicism. (5) Among the 205 cases of TS, 185 were successfully followed up (123 were monosomy X and 62 were non-monosomy X). There was one live birth in monosomy X cases (0.8%, 1/123) and 17 in non-monosomy X cases (27.4%, 17/62), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=33.22, P<0.001). Sixty-three TS cases with normal ultrasound findings were followed up (18 were monosomy X and 45 were non-monosomy X). In these cases, all 18 pregnancies with monosomy X and 32 (71.1%, 32/45) with non-monosomy X were terminated and the other 13 (28.9%, 13/45) cases of non-monosomy X were delivered. Of the 18 live births, one (non-monosomy X) was delivered at 36 weeks of gestation and the rest were born at term. Eleven cases of them were followed up. The height of one child with monosomy X was lower than the average height of children of the same age and sex by more than 2 standard deviations (-2 SD). The height of 10 children with non-monosomy X were between-1 SD and +3 SD among the children of the same age and gender. The mental and motor development were good in the 11 cases, and no other structural abnormalities were observed. The remaining seven cases refused to be followed up. Conclusions:Ultrasonographic abnormalities are the main indications of fetal TS with monosomy X, while positive Down's syndrome screening and positive NIPT for sex chromosome abnormality are indicators of non-monosomy X. The termination rate for pregnancies with monosomy X is higher than that for non-monosomy X.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of polysomnography (PSG) in depression patients complicating moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the outpatients, inpatients and physical examination population who completed overnight PSG monitoring in the sleep medicine center of Suzhou Guangji Hospital from December 2017 to October 2019. Four groups of subjects were finally enrolled, including depression patients with moderate-to-severe OSAHS (n=31), depression patients without OSAHS (n=79), moderate-to-severe OSAHS patients (n=96) and normal control group (n=32). The sleep process related indicators (total sleep time, sleep latency, number of awakenings), sleep structure related indicators (N1, N2, N3, percentage of REM sleep, REM latency, REM sleep duration), sleep-related respiratory variables (oxygen reduction index) and other polysomnographic parameters of the four groups were compared. ResultsIn terms of sleep process, the total sleep time, sleep latency and number of awakenings yielded significant differences among the four groups (F=2.874, 3.959, 12.291, P<0.05 or 0.01). In terms of sleep structure, the percentage of total sleep time in N2 and N3 stages demonstrated significant differences among the four groups (F=13.885, 48.013, P<0.01). The REM latency, REM sleep duration and percentage of REM sleep manifested significant differences among the four groups (F=41.492, 11.827, 10.552, P<0.01). In terms of sleep-related respiratory variables, the oxygen reduction index exhibited significant differences among the four groups (F=170.585, P<0.05). ConclusionDepression patients complicating moderate-to-severe OSAHS suffer from severe sleep process and structural disturbances, accompanied by quite frequent and severe sleep-related respiratory events.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the safety of cleaning and disinfection of duodenoscope used in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Methods The duodenoscopes,which were used in Endoscopy Center of Digestive Disease Hospital,Heilongjiang Provincial Hospital from May 4 to May 31 2016,were cleaned manually and disinfected with sterilization powder.The samples from elevator and elevator channel were collected for bacterial culture to evaluate the safety of clinical application of duodenoscope.Results Among 60 high level disinfections,one was excluded because disinfectant concentration wasn't effective.Among 59 elevator samples no positive cultures were detected,while among 59 channel samples,4(6.8%) cultures were positive and all from the same duodenoscope,including 3 cases of Klebsiella pneumonia and 1 case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Conclusion Sterilization powder is effective for disinfection of duodenoscope used for ERCP.Residual organic material can't be excluded from elevator sample even if it is negative for culture.Duodenoscope with high level disinfection still has the risk of transmitted infection,and should be monitored regularly by culture and reprocessed in time.

RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy performed using conventional laparoscopic instruments.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Thirty-two patients undergoing three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments (group A) with 3 ports around the umbilicus were compared with 96 patients (group B) receiving the conventional 4-port routine endoscopic cholecystectomy.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open laparotomy. In group A, the procedures were completed smoothly in 30 cases while 2 cases required another port (5 mm) punctured below the xyphoid due to severe adhesion around the cyst. The median operating time was 39.7∓5.2 min in group A, significantly longer than that in group B (25.3∓3.3 min, P<0.001), but the patients in group A obtained better cosmetic results (P<0.001); the median blood loss, recovery time of postoperative intestine function, length of postoperative hospital stay, and the rate of use of postoperative painkillers were comparable between the two groups. Bile leakage or other postoperative complications occurred in none of cases in the two groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>In cases without severe adhesion around the cyst, three-port transumbilical endoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments is a safe and feasible alternative to routine endoscopic cholecystectomy with better cosmetic results.</p>
