ObjectiveTo systematically review the prognosis of fetal isolated hyper echogenic kidneys (IHEK) on prenatal ultrasound examination. MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, WanFang Data, and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect cross-sectional studies on the prognosis of fetal IHEK on prenatal ultrasound examination from January 1990 to January 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies; then, meta-analysis was performed by using R 3.5.2 software. ResultsA total of 9 cross-sectional studies involving 348 fetuses were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the incidence rate of live births was 79% (95%CI 69% to 88%), termination of pregnancy/neonatal mortality (TOP/NND) was 30% (95%CI 15% to 45%), normal kidneys was 34% (95%CI 15% to 53%), autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) was 21% (95%CI 12% to 30%), autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) was 13% (95%CI 5% to 21%), and multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) was 4% (95%CI 2% to 7%). Subgroup analysis showed that the prognosis of normal amniotic fluid subgroup was significantly superior to that of reduced amniotic fluid subgroup. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in patients with IHEK on prenatal ultrasound examination is high, the prognosis is superior when IHEK with normal amniotic fluid volume, and is worse when with small amniotic fluid volume. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
目的 分析不同孕周正常胎儿静脉导管的频谱特征及血流频谱参数，得到不同孕周胎儿各频谱参数的正常参考值范围。 方法 2011年6月－9月检测记录不同孕周胎儿的静脉导管波形及各频谱参数，统计各频谱参数的正常参考值范围，并评估与其孕周的相关性。 结果 胎儿静脉导管的频谱速度参数与孕周呈正相关，阻力参数与孕周呈负相关，均以11～20周变化趋势较明显，其中3.59%的胎儿静脉导管频谱出现异常。 结论 正常胎儿的静脉导管血流参数与孕周有较好的相关性，静脉导管频谱在孕16周前可出现生理性的异常。
Computer analysis of cardiotocography (CTG) is very significant to evaluate fetal status. However, current computer analysis based on traditional classification criteria is not ideal. In order to improve the accuracy of fetal status assessment, we proposed a new method. The new method improves the classification criteria and uses fuzzy set to represent the CTG parameters. And then feature vector is formed by that set to represent the CTG signal. By calculating and comparing the Euclidean distance between the signal feature vector and the standard state feature vector, the corresponding fetal status of the signal can be determined. Experiments showed that compared to the results of the first expert, the accuracy rate of new method was 88.3% which was higher than that (69.9%) of the traditional method, and the false positive rate of new method was 7.2% which was much lower than that (34.9%) of traditional methods. While compared to the results of the second expert, the accuracy of new method was 90.3% which was higher than that (66.0%) of the traditional method, and the false positive rate of new method was 9.0% which was well below the 38.2% of the traditional method. Thus the new method is reliable and effective.
Fetal nerve grafts preserved at deep breezing were used to repair the peripheral nerve defects. The nerve directs included the sural nerves (removed as the donor nerve in repairing other nerve defects) in 5 cases, and digital nerve in 2 cases. All of them got good sensitive function. Patients were followed up for 1 yeas, all patients had gained comparatively good sensation. The surgical technique was introduced, and the validity of the transplantation of fetal nerve was discussed.
Objective To investigate the gene expression of p38mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) and its upstream signaling molecule (mkk3 and mkk6) in fetal skin at different developmental stages and postnatal skin and its potential biological significance. Methods The fetal skin biopsies were obtained from human embryo of spontaneous abortion at gestational ages from 13 to 32 weeks and postnatal skin specimens were collected from patients(4-16 years) undergoing plastic surgery. After the morphological characteristics of skins at different developmental stages were detected with pathological methods, the gene expressions of p38MAPK, mkk3 and mkk6 in skins were examined with reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR). Results The gene expressions of p38MAPK, mkk3 and mkk6 could all be detected in fetal and postnatal skins. In fetal skins, these 3 genes were bly expressed. Along with fetal growth and development, the gene expressions of p38MAPK and its upstream signaling molecules were faded gradually. In postnatal skin, the mRNA contents of these 3 genes were significantly decreased in comparison with those in fetal skin (Plt;0.01). Conclusion p38 MAPK mediated signal pathways might be involved in the skin developmentat embryonic stage and in the determination of cutaneous structure and function, and also in wound healing at postnatal stage. The relative increment of these gene transcription in younger fetal skin might be one of the reasons why cutaneous cells proliferate rapidly and the wounds heal without scar.
Abstract In order to repair the bone defect afteroperation of benign lesion of extremity, the fetal demineralized bone was applied in 10 cases. These cases were followed up for 6 months to 8 years. The results showed that the grafted bone was integrated with the host bone in 6 months. Noadverse effect was found. The demineralized bone did not induce rejection. The advantages of using fetal demineralized bone were as follows: easily obtainable,its preparation and method of storage simple, and low finacial cast.
To observe the effect of allogenic transplantation of deep frozen nerve in repairing sensory nerve defect, 22 patients who had received this type of treatment were followed up for 0.5-5 years. There were 18 males and 4 females in this group, and the average age was 28 years old. Thirty-six nerve defects including the common volar digital nerve, proper volar digital nerve were repaired by allograft of nerves stored at deep frozen (-80 degrees C). The storation period was ranged from 9 days to 1 years. The length of the nerves were 2 cm-12 cm. After follow-up for 3 years (ranged from 7 months-5 years), 23 cases of nerve allograft obtained excellent and good results (63.9%), 10 cases were fair (27.7%) and 3 cases were poor (8.3%). It was concluded that (1) frozen nerve is one of nice materials for repairing the nerve defect (lt; 5 cm); (2) the immunity of allogenenic nerve is weak; (3) the deep frozen storation can reduce the immunity of nerve; (4) the dimethyl sulfoxide can prevent the nerve tissue from injury by deep frozen; (5) the best temperature and period for deep frozen storation should be studied further.
The monitoring of pregnant women is very important. It plays an important role in reducing fetal mortality, ensuring the safety of perinatal mother and fetus, preventing premature delivery and pregnancy accidents. At present, regular examination is the mainstream method for pregnant women's monitoring, but the means of examination out of hospital is scarce, and the equipment of hospital monitoring is expensive and the operation is complex. Using intelligent information technology (such as machine learning algorithm) can analyze the physiological signals of pregnant women, so as to realize the early detection and accident warning for mother and fetus, and achieve the purpose of high-quality monitoring out of hospital. However, at present, there are not enough public research reports related to the intelligent processing methods of out-of-hospital monitoring for pregnant women, so this paper takes the out-of-hospital monitoring for pregnant women as the research background, summarizes the public research reports of intelligent processing methods, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the existing research methods, points out the possible problems, and expounds the future development trend, which could provide reference for future related researches.
