The long-term development outcomes of the offspring born to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a cross-sectional study.

This study aims to explore the long-term physical, neurological, social and emotional development outcomes of the offspring born to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to provide insights that can assist pediatricians in enhancing the long-term prognosis of these children.

Delivery room resuscitation and short-term outcomes of extremely preterm and extremely low birth weight infants: a multicenter survey in North China.

Background: Delivery room resuscitation assists preterm infants, especially extremely preterm infants (EPI) and extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWI), in breathing support, while it potentially exerts a negative impact on the lungs and outcomes of preterm infants. This study aimed to assess delivery room resuscitation and discharge outcomes of EPI and ELBWI in China.

Methods: The clinical data of EPI (gestational age [GA] <28 weeks) and ELBWI (birth weight [BW] <1000 g), admitted within 72 h of birth in 33 neonatal intensive care units from five provinces and cities in North China between 2017 and 2018, were analyzed.

Neonatal hereditary spherocytosis caused by a de novo frameshift mutation of the SPTB gene characterized by hydrops fetalis: A case report.

Rationale: The etiology of non-immune hydrops fetalis is complex, and its prognosis is poor. One of its main causes is anemia. There are few reports on hydrops fetalis due to anemia caused by hereditary spherocytosis (HS), especially regarding its occurrence in the neonatal period.

[Perinatal conditions of late preterm twins versus early term twins].

Objective: To study the perinatal complications of late preterm twins (LPTs) versus early term twins (ETTs).

RIP140/PGC-1α axis involved in vitamin A-induced neural differentiation by increasing mitochondrial function.

Vitamin A deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction are both associated with neural differentiation-related disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down syndrome (DS). The mechanism of vitamin A-induced neural differentiation and the notion that vitamin A can regulate the morphology and function of mitochondria in its induction of neural differentiation through the RIP140/PGC-1α axis are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles and underlying mechanisms of RIP140/PGC-1α axis in vitamin A-induced neural differentiation.

The regulating effect of heme oxygenase/carbon monoxide on hypoxic pulmonary vascular structural remodeling.

Hypoxic pulmonary vascular structural remodeling (HPVSR) is the important pathologic basis of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). The discoveries of endogenous gaseous messenger molecules, nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), have been moving the research of HPVSR to a very new phase. But the effect and significance of heme oxygenase (HO)/CO on the development of HPVSR have not been fully understood.
