Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of severe illness in infants, with no effective treatment. Results of a phase 2 trial suggested that ziresovir may have efficacy in the treatment of infants hospitalized with RSV infection.

Methods: In a phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted in China, we enrolled participants 1 to 24 months of age who were hospitalized with RSV infection.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the use of indocyanine green (ICG)-guided near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging for diagnosing neonatal cholestasis during surgery, comparing its effectiveness to the traditional method of laparoscopic bile duct exploration from January to December 2022.
  • - A total of 16 neonates, aged 42 to 93 days, were included, and while most (15 out of 16) were diagnosed with biliary atresia, the results from ICG-guided imaging matched those of laparoscopic exploration.
  • - The findings indicate that ICG-guided NIRF is a safe and minimally invasive option with diagnostic reliability comparable to conventional methods, suggesting it could be a

Objective: To explore the correlation between clinical phenotypes and genotypes among 46 children with SCN1A-related developmental epileptic encephalopathy (DEE).

Methods: Clinical data of 46 children with DEE and SCN1A variants identified at the Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between January 2018 and June 2022 were collected. The children were grouped based on their age of onset, clinical manifestations, neurodevelopmental status, and results of genetic testing.

Isolated polyhydramnios: Is a genetic evaluation of value?

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

February 2024

Prenatal Diagnostic Center, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Electronic address:

Objective: To analyze the risk for genetic aberrations and pregnancy outcomes in pregnancies with isolated polyhydramnios.

Study Design: This was a retrospective study of singleton pregnancies complicated by isolated polyhydramnios that underwent genetic amniocentesis between 2016 and 2021. Clinical and laboratory data were collected and reviewed for these cases, including maternal demographics, prenatal sonographic findings, chromosomal microarray results, and pregnancy outcomes.

Article Synopsis
  • * It reviewed nine cases diagnosed with NM, identifying genetic mutations and analyzing ultrasound findings, where most had normal early scans but abnormalities in the second and third trimesters.
  • * Of the nine cases studied, four pregnancies were terminated due to NM, while only one infant survived past one year, highlighting the challenges and serious implications of this condition.

A meta-analysis of treatment for early-stage cervical cancer: open versus minimally invasive radical trachelectomy.

BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

October 2023

Department of Gynecology, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China.

Background: In previous systematic reviews, meta-analysis was lacking, resulting in the statistical difference between the data of different surgeries being impossible to judge. This meta-analysis aims to contrast the fertility results and cancer outcomes between open and minimally invasive surgery.

Method: We systematically searched databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and Scopus to collect studies that included open and minimally invasive radical trachelectomy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study assessed the effectiveness of a multicolor melting curve analysis (MMCA) for mass thalassemia screening and prenatal diagnosis using 18,912 blood samples from couples and prenatal sources.
  • - MMCA showed a high detection rate for thalassemia genotypes, identifying various carriers and rare genetic variants, except for one specific initiation codon mutation.
  • - The findings suggest that MMCA can be a reliable, cost-effective, and efficient alternative to traditional methods for thalassemia testing in routine screenings and prenatal diagnoses.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to showcase fetal features of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS) through a review of 13 diagnosed cases using genetic testing and physical exams.
  • All cases showed CdLS-causing genetic variants, with most linked to mutations in the NIPBL gene, while some had normal ultrasound results despite having the syndrome.
  • Prenatal diagnoses are feasible for CdLS linked to NIPBL variants, but detecting non-classic cases solely through ultrasound remains difficult.

Chromosomal abnormalities are a common cause of spontaneous abortions, but conventional detection methods (karyotype, FISH, and chromosomal microarray [CMA]) have limitations, and many cryptic balanced chromosomal rearrangements are difficult to detect. We describe a couple who experienced a missed abortion, studied by CMA. CMA of the abortion tissue detected a 1.

Background: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been illustrated to contribute to the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In the present study, we aimed to elucidate how lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) influences insulin resistance (IR) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced mouse model of GDM.

Methods: We initially developed a mouse model of HFD-induced GDM, from which islet tissues were collected for RNA and protein extraction.

Prenatal isolated clubfoot increases the risk for clinically significant exome sequencing results.

Prenat Diagn

December 2022

Prenatal Diagnostic Center, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center Affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Child Health, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of exome sequencing (ES) in identifying genetic causes of isolated fetal clubfoot in singleton pregnancies between 2018 and 2021.
  • A total of 38 fetuses diagnosed with isolated clubfoot underwent ES after initial genetic testing was inconclusive, resulting in the identification of pathogenic variants in 10.5% of cases.
  • The findings suggest that isolated clubfoot may be linked to genetic conditions, indicating that ES should be considered in genetic investigations for affected pregnancies.
