A Comparison between Late Preterm and Term Infants with Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Early-Onset Sepsis, and Neonatal Jaundice in Ecuadorian Newborns

Background: To examine the differences in prevalence of respiratory distress syndrome, early-onset sepsis and jaundice, between late preterm infants versus term infants in Ecuadorian newborns. Methods: Study design: Epidemiological, observational, and cross-sectional, with two cohorts of patients. Settings: IESS Quito Sur Hospital at Quito, Ecuador, from February to April of 2020. Participants: This study included 204 newborns, 102 preterm infants, 102 term infants. Results: There are significant differences between late preterm infants and term infants, with a p-value of 0.000 in the prevalence of early sepsis, 70.59% vs. 35.29%. In respiratory distress syndrome between late and term premature infants, significant differences were observed with a p-value of 0.000, the proportion being 55.58% vs. 24.51% respectively. The prevalence of jaundice is higher in term infants with a p value of 0.002, 72.55%, versus 51.96% in late preterm infants, and the mean value of bilirubins in mg/dL was higher in term infants 14.32 versus 12.33 in late preterm infants;this difference is statistically significant with a p value of 0.004. Admission to the NICU is more frequent in late preterm infants with a p-value of 0.000, being 42.16% for late preterm infants vs. 7.84% in term infants;the mean of the hospital days with p-value 0.005, was higher in late preterm infants 4.97 days vs. 3.55 days for term newborns. Conclusion: Due to the conditions of their immaturity, late preterm infants are 2.86 times more likely to present early sepsis than full-term newborns. It is shown that late preterm infants are 2.69 times more likely to have respiratory distress syndrome compared to term infants, therefore, late preterm infants have a longer hospital stay of 4.97 days versus 3.55 days in term infants. Jaundice and mean bilirubin levels are higher in term infants due to blood group incompatibility and insufficient breastfeeding.

Chronic Vaginal Discharge Syndrome Caused by Obstructed Hemivagina and Ipsilateral Renal Agenesis (OHVIRA) Syndrome: A Case Report

Background: Vaginal discharge syndrome is a common condition across the world with the main causes being infectious. Rare causes include obstructed hemivagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OHVIRA syndrome). Case Presentation: This case involves an 18-year-old woman with a 9-year history of vaginal discharge treated unsuccessfully by multiple physicians and different health facilities. After she presented to our hospital gynecology clinic with the same complaint she investigated with blood, urine, discharge wet-mount, pelvic ultrasound, and abdominopelvic computed tomography at different times. Preoperatively she was suspected to have OHVIRA syndrome which was successfully surgically treated with a full return of function. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the need to consider non-infectious causes commonly congenital mullerian anomaly in young women presented with long-time vaginal discharge symptoms soon after menarche and which are nonresponding to different multiple medical treatments. In peripheral health institutions like ours, it is best to consider computed tomography if available but better not to forget at least abdominopelvic ultrasound to look for congenital Mullerian anomalies.

Early repolarization syndrome: A cause of sudden cardiac death

Early repolarization syndrome(ERS), demonstrated as J-point elevation on an electrocardiograph, was formerly thought to be a benign entity, but the recent studies have demonstrated that it can be linked to a considerable risk of life- threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death(SCD). Early repolarization characteristics associated with SCD include high-amplitude J-point elevation, horizontal and/or downslopping ST segments, and inferior and/or lateral leads location. The prevalence of ERS varies between 3% and 24%, depending on age, sex and J-point elevation(0.05 m V vs 0.1 m V) being the main determinants.ERS patients are sporadic and they are at a higher risk of having recurrent cardiac events. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation and isoproterenol are the suggested therapies in this set of patients. On the other hand, asymptomatic patients with ERS are common and have a better prognosis. The risk stratification in asymptomatic patients with ERS still remains a grey area. This review provides an outline of the up-to-date evidence associated with ERS and the risk of life- threatening arrhythmias. Further prospective studies are required to elucidate the mechanisms of ventricular arrhythmogenesis in patients with ERS.

Shift work aggravates metabolic syndrome development among early-middle-aged males with elevated ALT

AIM: To examine whether shift work accelerates metabolic syndrome (MetS) development among early middle-aged males with elevated alanine aminotransferase (e-ALT).METHODS: A retrospective, observational followup study on MetS development at a 5-year interval was conducted using health examination data. Nine hundred and ninety six male employees not fulfi lling MetS criteria at screening were enrolled. Age, MetScomponents, liver enzymes, serological markers for viral hepatitis, abdominal ultrasound, insulin resistance status, lifestyles, and workplace factors were analyzed.RESULTS: The prevalence of elevated serum ALT (> 40 U/L, e-ALT) at baseline was 19.1%. There were 381 (38.3%) workers with long-term exposures to day-night rotating shift work (RSW). 14.2% of subjects developed MetS during follow-up. After 5 years, the workers with e-ALT had significantly unfavorable changes in MetS-components, and higher rates of MetS development, vs subjects with normal baseline ALT levels. Workers with both baseline e-ALT and 5-year persistent RSW (pRSW) exposure had the highest rate of MetS development. Also, e-ALT-plus-pRSW workers had a significant increase in MetS-components atfollow-up, compared with the other subgroups. After controlling for potential confounders, e-ALT-plus-pRSW workers posed a signifi cant risk for MetS development (odds ratio, 2.7; 95% confi dence interval, 1.4-5.3, vs workers without baseline e-ALT nor pRSW). CONCLUSION: We suggest that all early middle-aged male employees with e-ALT should be evaluated and managed for MetS. Particularly in terms of job arrangements, impacts of long-term RSW on MetS development should be assessed for all male employees having baseline e-ALT.

Comparison of the meibomian gland dysfunction in patients with chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease and Sjogren's syndrome

AIM: To investigate the abnormalities in the meibomian gland in patients with dry eye disease(DED) associated with chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease(coGVHD) in comparison with Sj?gren's syndrome(SS), a major form of aqueous deficient DED and meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD), a common cause of evaporative DED.METHODS: A total 135 eyes of 135 subjects included in this study: patients with DED associated with coGVHD(n=30), patients with SS(n=35), patients with MGD(n=35), and normal controls(n=35). All participants completed the Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI) questionnaire, ocular surface examination [Schirmer test, tear film breakup time(TFBUT), and ocular surface staining], and meibomian gland assessment [meiboscore(gland dropout detected on meibography using infrared camera of the Keratograph 5 M), meibum expressibility score(MES), meibum quality score(MQS), lid margin abnormality]. In addition, correlations of meibomian gland characteristics with ocular surface parameters as well as disease severity score were investigated in coGVHD group.RESULTS: The coGVHD group showed significantly higher meiboscore, MES, and MQS than the other 3 groups(all P<0.05). In the coGVHD group, parameters of meibomian gland showed a significant correlation each other and those of ocular surface. The correlation between meibomian gland parameters and severity score of co GVHD was also established(meiboscore, r=0.62; MES, r=0.47; MQS, r=0.47; lid margin abnormality score, r=0.55; all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Patients with DED associated with co GVHD show poorer gland morphology and worse glandfunction than other types of DED. In addition, meibomian gland damage is not only associated with ocular surface damage but also disease severity of coGVHD.

Role of ranulas in early diagnosis of Sjögren’s syndrome: A case report

BACKGROUND Although the presentations of Sjögren’s syndrome(SS)are variable,ranging from mild dryness to wider systemic involvement,ranulas as early clinical signs were scarcely reported.Here,we present an adult patient with SS,who developed a unilateral simple ranula and was diagnosed primary SS 3 years later.We also provide a review of cases of SS and ranulas from 1980 to 2020.CASE SUMMARY A 22-year-old girl was found to have a left painless floor-of-mouth lesion 3 years ago,without obvious trauma or inducement.The diagnosis of a unilateral(left)simple ranula was made,and the ranula was surgically treated.Within 3 years after the ranula surgery,she developed acute lymphadenectasis in unilateral parotid twice without inducement,and ultrasonic examination revealed diffuse lesions in bilateral parotids and submandibular glands,which strongly suggested SS.Serologic tests and the unstimulated whole saliva flow rate confirmed the SS diagnosis.CONCLUSION Our study underlines that ranulas are early clinical signs of SS.As early diagnosis and early intervention of SS are important to obtain better outcomes,our findings underline the need for histopathological test after sublingual adenectomy and imaging detection of exocrine glands for the patients with ranulas.

EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROMES USING CLONAL ANALYSES

Objective: To study the value of clonal analysis to the early diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Methods: Four types of clonal analyses were performed on the bone marrow samples from 50 patients suspected of MDS: (1) Conventional Cytogenetics (CC) for clonal chromosomal abnormalities; (2) BrdU-Sister Chromatid Differentiation (BrdU-SCD) for cell cycle kinetics; (3) Fluorescence in Situ Hybridization (FISH) for trisomy 8; (4) Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) for N-ras mutation. Results: The diagnosis of forty-three patients was compatible with the FAB criteria for MDS. The other seven cases didn’t meet the FAB criteria, with only one lineage of dyspoiesis or with no obvious dysplastic changes. Among these seven cases, two were morphologically diagnosed with suspicious refractory anemia, one with sideroblastic anemia, one with leukemoid reaction, one with hypercellular anemia and two with chronic aplastic anemia. Clonal analyses of the 7 patients showed that six cases had clonal karyotype abnormalities, four had prolonged cell cycle patterns, four had trisomy 8 of different proportions and one had mutation of the exon 1 of N-RAS. Thus, they were revaluated as MDS patients. Conclusion: The untypical MDS patients with one lineage dyspoiesis or without obvious dysplastic changes can be diagnosed early by combining multiple clonal analysis techniques such as CC, SCD, FISH and PCR-SSCR.

Subclavian steal syndrome associated with Sjogren's syndrome: A case report

BACKGROUND Subclavian steal syndrome(SSS)caused by Sjogren's syndrome is rare,especially for elderly patients with risk factors for atherosclerosis.The current report presents the uncommon etiology and treatment of SSS,aiming to improve doctor’s clinical experience.CASE SUMMARY A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with hypertension and acute cerebral infarction presenting with left upper limb weakness and pain even gradually aggravating to left limb hemiplegia 30 years ago.He was managed with antihypertensive and antithrombotic therapy;however,his condition was recurrent,and he never had any further examination.It was found that the difference of the bilateral upper arm systolic pressure was over 20 mmHg,and Doppler examination showed that the blood flow of the left vertebral artery was reversed,suggesting SSS.Further tests revealed a benign lymphoepithelial lesion in salivary gland tissue,confirming the Sjogren's syndrome.CONCLUSION The patient was found to have hypertension when he was 33 years old,and the blood pressure of both sides was asymmetric,which was ignored.The patient's symptoms of dizziness and upper limb weakness were misdiagnosed as general cerebral infarction.It is necessary to test the aorta computed tomography angiography to prove secondary hypertension factors such as Sjogren's syndrome.

Study on the correlation between TCM syndrome differentiation and immune inflammation index of Sjogren's syndrome

Objective:To observe the relationship between the distribution of TCM Syndromes of primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS)and the changes of erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),immunoglobulin IgA,IgG and IgM.Methods:157 diagnosed PSS patients were divided into dampness heat obstructing collaterals syndrome,dryness evil invading lung syndrome,Qi blood stasis syndrome,liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome and Qi Yin deficiency syndrome according to TCM syndrome differentiation standard.The age,course of disease,general health score in international universal quality of life scale,self rating Anxiety scale(SAS),self rating Depression Scale(SDS)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were observed and detected(ESR,C-reactive protein(CRP),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),immunoglobulin IgA,IgG and IgM and other immune inflammatory indexes were detected.The relationship between different TCM Syndromes of PSS and molecular level changes of immune inflammatory indexes was analyzed and compared,as well as the impact on quality of life and mental emotion.Results:The overall health score of patients with Qi Yin deficiency syndrome was significantly lower than that of patients with dampness heat obstructing collaterals and dampness evil invading lung syndrome(P<0.01),while the SAS and SDS scores of patients with Qi Yin deficiency syndrome were significantly higher than those of patients with dampness heat invading lung syndrome and dampness heat obstructing collaterals syndrome(P<0.05,P<0.01);ESR,CRP,RF,TNF-α,IL-6,IgA,IgG and IgM related laboratory indexes of patients with dampness heat obstructing collaterals syndrome were significantly higher than those of patients with dry evil invading lung syndrome,liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome and liver kidney yin deficiency syndrome Qi Yin deficiency syndrome and Qi blood stasis syndrome(P<0.05,P<0.01).Correlation test found that the above five syndrome types were positively correlated with hs-CRP,IL-6,TNF-ɑindicators(P<0.05).Conclusion:The overall health,SAS,SDS and related hs-CRP,IL-6,TNF-ɑand some others indexes of SS patients are associated with TCM syndromes.

Serum-negative Sjogren's syndrome with minimal lesion nephropathy as the initial presentation:A case report

BACKGROUND Primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS)is an autoimmune disease,and renal involvement has been considered to be one of the systemic complications of pSS.Patients who have sjogren's syndrome with renal disease as the first manifestation and no exocrine gland involvement or autoantibodies can be missed clinically.CASE SUMMARY We here in report an unusual case of a primary Sjogren's syndrome in a 43-yearold female who had minimal lesion nephropathy as the initial presentation,and the patient was negative for serum anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies and did not have signs of exocrine gland involvement.The patient’s Sjogren's syndrome was confirmed by a minor salivary gland biopsy(MSGB)and a filter paper test.the patient’s oedema subsided,and the patient’s urinary protein resolved,showing that the treatment was effective.CONCLUSION MSGB should be considered if pSS is suspected in patients who do not have the typical pSS symptoms or who are positive for the specific autoantibodies.

Meta analysis of efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine combined with hydroxychloroquine sulfate in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine combined with hydroxychloroquine sulfate in the treatment of Sjogren's Syndrome(SS).Methods:Two researchers searched the databases of Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Database,Weipu Database,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database,PubMed Database,Web of science Database and The Cochrane Library Database(the retrieval period is from the establishment of the database to October 2020)and screened the literatures independently.The data were extracted for bias risk assessment,and then meta-analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 software.Results:A total of 19 articles involving 1185 patients were included,including 617 cases in the treatment group and 568 cases in the control group.Combined data analysis showed that the total effective rate of traditional Chinese medicine combined with hydroxychloroquine sulfate in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome was significantly higher than that of hydroxychloroquine sulfate alone[R R=1.34,95%CI(1.24,1.44),P<0.00001].The improvement of salivary gland[SMD=0.66,95%CI(0.47,0.85),P<0.00001],tear secretion function[MD=2.56,95%CI(1.29,3.83),P<0.0001]and reducing CRP[MD=-3.53,95%CI(-3.93,-3.14),P<0.00001],ESR[MD=-5.80,95%CI(-8.48,-3.13),P<0.00001]were better than those of the control group.However,there was no significant difference in the reduction of IgG and the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion:Traditional Chinese medicine combined with hydroxychloroquine sulfate in the treatment of SS is superior to the control group in total effective rate,improvement of salivary gland and tear secretion function,and reduction of CRP and ESR,and we didn’t see the significantly increase on the adverse event.However,due to the small sample size and low quality of the included studies,the conclusion needs to be verified by larger sample and higher quality randomized controlled trials.

Synchronized early gastric cancer occurred in a patient with serrated polyposis syndrome:A case report

BACKGROUND Serrated polyposis syndrome(SPS)is a relatively rare disease that is characterized by multiple serrated lesions/polyps.Very little is known regarding the extracolonic cancers associated with SPS.The genetic basis of the process remains unknown.CASE SUMMARY A 67-year-old male patient initially presented with belching and abdominal distension for a year as well as diarrhea for over 2 mo.The patient underwent colonoscopy and was diagnosed with serrated polyposis syndrome.Half a year later,a gastroscopy was performed during the postoperative re-examination to screen for other lesions of the upper gastrointestinal tract.An elevated lesion was detected in the anterior wall of the gastric antrum.Curative en bloc resection of the lesion was achieved via endoscopic submucosal dissection.The pathological result was high-grade dysplasia with focal intramucosal carcinoma.Exome sequencing was performed for the patient and five gastric cancer-associated variants(methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase,metaxin 1,coiled-coil domain containing 6,glutamate ionotropic receptor delta type subunit 1,and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1)were identified.CONCLUSION This paper reports a case that presented with both SPS and early gastric cancer.Genetic mutations that were potentially responsible for this condition were sought by exome sequencing.

Study on immunological characteristics of T lymphocyte in peripheral blood from patients with sjogren's syndrome

Objective: To study on in immunological characteristics of T lymphocyte in peripheral blood from patients with Sjogren's syndrome (SS), provide the theory basis for the further research of Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) targeted therapy.Methods:T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood from SS, RA and normal control groups were tested with various monocbnal antibodies and multicolor flow cytometry.T lymphocyte subsets were tested in peripheral blood from SS patients of different TCM Syndromes. The relationship between T Lymphocyte subsets and disease activity was measured by erythrocyte sedimentation rate (SR)and serum IgG. Results: The percentage of CD4^+T cells and the ration of CD4^+/CD8^+T cells in peripheral bbod from SS patients decreased significantly, and the percentage of CD8^+T cells increased than that in control groups (P<0.05). Compared with patients in inactive period, the percentage of CD4^+T cells in peripheral bLood from SS patients in the active stage increased (P>0.05), the percentage of CD8^+T cells decreased (P>0.05), and the ration of CD4^+/ CD8^+T cells increased (P<0.05).Compared with control groups, the percentage of CD69 expressed on T cells in peripheral blood from SS patients decreased, and the percentage of CD95's expression increased (P<0.05).The percentage of CD69CD95's expression also increased (P>0.05). There were no differences among CD4^+T cells, CD8^+T ceLs and CD4^+/ CD8^+ in peripheral blood from SS patients of different TCM Syndromes (P>0.05). CD69 and CD95's expression on SS patients of different TCM Syndromes was no significantLy different (P>0.05).T cell receptor Vβ(TCR Vβ) subfamilies gene in peripheral blood from SS patients and control groups were expressed in all. Compared witji control groups, Vβ 5.3,Vβ 13.1,Vβ 12,Vβ 7.2 had significant differences (P<0.05).Comparison of different TCM Syndromes in SS group: Vβ 13.1 and Vβ 14 were significantly different (P<0.05).Conclusion:There was dysimmunity on T lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of SS patients, which was related to disease activity;apoptosis after activation of autoreactive T cell may be induced by Chinese medicine;TCR Vβ subfamilies of different TCM syndromes were different, which noted that different autoreactive T cells of abnormal activation tended to result in different expression of TCM Different syndromes.

Treatment of Sjogren's Syndrome with Liver Depression

Liu Chunying is a famous old Chinese medicine doctor for more than 30 years.He has rich experience in the understanding and treatment of Sjogren's syndrome(SS).Liu Shi systematically discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of SS from the angle of liver depression.In the treatment,it is emphasized that"Muyu Da Zhi"is the first,with the addition and subtraction of the disease,to provide a new idea for the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome from liver depression,and to attach a test case.

A New Case of Turner Syndrome with Early Pubertal Development

Turner syndrome (TS) is a relatively common chromosomal disorder caused by complete or partial X monosomy. The most frequently observed karyotype, 45, X, arises more often by loss of the paternal X or Y chromosome in meiosis or in early embryogenesis than by loss of the maternal X chromosome. The main clinical features of TS are short stature, gonadal dysgenesis, and not to undergo pubertal development (e.g. primary amenorrhea). However, a few rare cases of TS have shown precocious puberty. Our case of a 9-year-old girl did not have any TS-specific clinical hallmarks, with the exception of short stature. She visited our clinic because of her pubertal development and short stature. In this report, we highlight the variability that can occur in patients with TS and emphasizes the need to carefully assess unusual growth patterns in any child, regardless of other underlying conditions.

Research progress on BDNF in Sjogren's syndrome with depressive disorder

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)is a widely studied neurotrophic factor,which plays an important role in the growth,development,dif-ferentiation,injury,repair,survival and apoptosis of nerve cells.More and more studies have found that there is a high prevalence of depressive disorders in patients with autoimmune diseases.Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune exocrine disease characterized by lympho-cytic infiltration and exocrine gland destruction.Depres-sive disorders are common in patients with Sjogren's syndrome.The quality of life of patients with Sjogren's syndrome with depression was generally lower than that of patients with Sjogren's syndrome without depres-sion.In this article,we reviewed the research progress of BDNF and depression in Sjogren's syndrome at home and abroad.

Menstrual and Reproductive Characteristics of Patients with Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome:A 7-year Single-center Retrospective Study

Objective Primary Sjogren’s syndrome(pSS)is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly affects the exocrine gland,especially in women.Currently,the results of studies on the menstruation or fertility of pSS patients remain controversial.This study aimed to examine the menstrual and reproductive characteristics of pSS patients.Methods Clinical data of 449 pSS patients who were admitted to Tongji Hospital in Hubei,China,from January 2015 to November 2021 were obtained and their menstrual and reproductive information analyzed.In addition,the clinical features of pSS patients with premenopausal or postmenopausal onset were compared.Results The spontaneous abortion rate of pSS patients was not higher than the reported rate of the general population and that the age of menarche,menstrual cycle,and menstrual period of pSS patients did not significantly differ from those reported in the general population;however,early menopause seemed to be more common in pSS patients.Skin involvement(27.96%vs.15.00%,P=0.005)and hyperglobulinemia(10.64%vs.4.16%,P=0.033)were more common in patients with premenopausal pSS onset,but patients with postmenopausal onset had a significantly greater incidence of interstitial lung disease(32.50%vs.17.02%,P=0.0004).Also,erythropenia(47.00%vs.31.25%,P=0.002),hypoalbuminemia(19.49%vs.8.22%,P=0.0009),and prevalence of high hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels(21.67%vs.10.94%,P=0.005)were more common in pSS patients with postmenopausal onset.Notably,the rate of abnormal pregnancy was significantly greater in patients with premenopausal onset(9.72%vs.2.50%,P=0.011).Conclusion Patients with pSS onset before or after menopause may have different risks in pulmonary involvement and laboratory manifestations.
