Objective: To explore outcomes of fetuses with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) after fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) treatment.
Case Report: Fetuses diagnosed with severe CDH and taken FETO for intrauterine treatment from January 2020 to December 2023 were recruited. There was no significant difference in general conditions, as well as O/E LHR and measurements related to CDH (p > 0.05). All babies were born prematurely. One got poor Apgar score and died soon after birth and 3 died after treatment in NICU for some time. Only one associated with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) was survived and got good outcome after long time follow-up. It seemed CCAM associated occupying a part volume of left thorax which may help to protect abdominal organs from herniating.
Conclusion: FETO treatment may not improve the survival rate of severe CDH significantly, but associated with CCAM may helpful to protect abdominal organs from herniating.

Premature deliveries and preterm newborns are of a special significance to obstetricians. Despite great improvement in neonatal intensive care in the last two decades, prematurity is still the leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity. Complications associated with premature deliveries are malpresentation, prolapse of the umbilical cord, entrapment of some parts of the fetal body, as well as severe bruising or bone fractures.

Placentation disorders, including severe preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction, have their origins in early pregnancy, whereas symptoms typically present later on. To investigate the pathogenesis of these diseases, there is a need for a reliable in vitro model system of early placenta development with known pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, we optimized the generation of human induced trophoblast stem cells (iTSCs) from term umbilical cord, enabling non-invasive collection of patient-derived material immediately after birth.

Objective: To investigate the pregnancy outcomes and independent risk factors associated with true knots of the umbilical cord (TKUC).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 8140 deliveries at Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital from 2017 to 2021. Mothers and newborns diagnosed with TKUC were included in the TKUC group, while the others were included in the control group.

Objective: To study perinatal outcomes for newborns with early, isolated, severe FGR, for whom initial active management was considered unreasonable or impossible at an obstetric-pediatric assessment and to identify the determinants associated with a course that made active management reasonable.
Material And Methods: This retrospective observational single-center study occurred in a level-3 university hospital maternity unit. It included all pregnancies with a singleton fetus presenting isolated FGR <3rd percentile at 23 weeks or more of gestation with an obstetric-pediatric assessment (OPA) initially unfavorable to active management.
