ObjectiveTo collect and analyze the clinical data and quality of life of hemophilic children, understand the present condition of these patients in Sichuan Province, and analyze related influencing factors. MethodWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of hemophilic children treated in our hospital from January 1, 2008 to May 30, 2015. ResultsThere were 92 child patients from Sichuan Province with a median age of 9.6 years old (ranging from 3.6 to 18.0). There were 87 cases (94.6%) of hemophilia A and 5 (5.4%) of hemophilia B; the number of light cases was 4 (4.3%), of moderate cases was 67 (72.8%), and of severe cases was 21 (22.9%); eighteen (19.6) of the patients had family history. First bleeding episode occurred at a median age of 11 months (0-48 months). Mild bleeding occurred in 23 cases (25.0%), moderate bleeding in 31 cases (33.7%), and severe bleeding in 38 cases (41.3%). First bleeding site was mainly the mucous membrane of the skin, followed by the joint muscles. Fist joint bleeding occurred at a median age of 18 months (2-107 months). Forty-six patients (59.0%) had severe joint damage during the course of the disease. Intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients (4.3%), among whom 3 were cured and discharged from the hospital, and 1 had neurological sequelae. Median diagnostic age was 12 months (0-120 months). Sixty-two (67.4%) were diagnosed in a short period of time, 9 (9.8%) in a mediate period of time, and 21 (22.8%) in a long period of time. Forty (43.5%) of the patients had been given sufficient coagulation factors, while all the others had not received sufficient replacement therapy. Fifty-six (60.9%) children had received prophylactic treatment. First prophylaxis was administrated at a median age of 36 months (1-199 months), but 27 (48.2%) discontinued. The median score of the 29 retreated Disease Burden Scale was 22.7±11.6 (4-43), and among them, 11 (37.9%) could not care for themselves. Twenty-three participated in the assessment of social activity ability, among whom, 2 did not attend school, and 6 could not take part in the assessment because of school learning. Correlation analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between diagnostic timing and family history (P=0.795) or between diagnostic timing and areas they came from (P=0.495). However, significant association was found between diagnostic timing and the severity of first bleeding (r=0.392, P=0.035). Disease burden of family was significantly correlated with the number of target joints (r=0.370, P=0.048), and was not closely related with area, severity of bleeding, frequency of hemorrhage, medical insurance, or physical and social activities. ConclusionsThe general diagnosis and treatment condition of child hemophilia in Sichuan is relatively under-developed with a high prevalence of joint damage, poor quality of life, and high disease burden to the family. Improvement in the care of hemophilia children is urgently needed.
Objective To investigate whether the sleep-induced hypoxemia ( SIH) at different time and different level have different effects on pulmonary emphysema and coagulation systemfunction in the rats with pulmonary emphysema. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups( n = 10 in each group) . All rats were exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day ( 30 min each time) . From29th day on, the rats in Group A ( pulmonary emphysema with short SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 12. 5% oxygen for 1. 5 hours during sleeping time every day ( the expose time was divided into 4 periods, 22. 5 min each) . The rats in Group B ( pulmonary emphysema with mild SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 15% oxygen for three hours during sleeping time every day( the expose time was divided into 4 periods, 45 min each) . The rats in Group C( pulmonary emphysema with standard SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 12. 5% oxygen for three hours during sleeping time every day( the expose time was divided into 4 periods,45 min each) . After continuous exposure for 56 days, the rats were sacrificed. Semi-quantitative image analytic method was employed for histopathological analysis including pathological score of lungs, mean linear intercept ( MLI) and mean alveolus number( MAN) . ATⅢ, FIB, vWF, FⅧ were measured. Results All animals in three groups manifested the histopathological features of emphysema. Pathological scores of lungs and MLI of every group were significantly different from each other( F = 21. 907, F = 18. 415, all P lt; 0. 05) , Group A [ ( 61. 90 ±4. 25) % , ( 92. 45 ±1. 78) μm] and Group B[ ( 64. 60 ±3. 95) % , ( 92. 80 ±3. 65) μm] were significantly lower than Group C[ ( 73. 30 ±3. 86) % , ( 99. 32 ±2. 81) μm, q= 8. 96, q =6. 84, q = 12. 64, q =9. 65, all P lt; 0. 05] . Levels of FIB were significantly different among three groups ( F = 20. 592, P lt; 0. 05) while FIB in Group A[ ( 189. 98 ±5. 29) mg/ dL] and Group B[ ( 182. 70 ±2. 78) mg /dL] were significantly lower than that in Group C[ ( 198. 40 ±7. 37) mg/ dL, q = 4. 86, q= 9. 07, all P lt; 0. 05] , and FIB in Group A was significantly higher than that in Group B( q = 4. 20, P lt; 0. 05) . Levels of FⅧ were significantly different from each other( F = 33. 652, P lt;0. 05) while FⅧ in Group A[ ( 232. 26 ±4. 17) % ]and Group B[ ( 242. 53 ±14. 50) % ] were significantly lower than that in Group C[ ( 303. 25 ±32. 93) % ,q= 10. 73, q = 9. 18, all P lt; 0. 05] . Conclusions Pulmonary emphysema and hypercoagulable states increases with time and severity of SIH in rats with pulmonary emphysema. The elevated activity of blood coagulation factor may be a critical role in the hypercoagulable states.

Methods Thirteen children aged 3 to 11 years old with severe or moderate hemophilia A were included in the present study from November 2008 to April 2009. For children in the treatment group, they were treated with low-dose short-course infusion of recombinant human factor Ⅷ concentration with a dose of 7.5-10.0 U/kg twice weekly as secondary prophylaxis for two months. The incidence of joint bleeding 2 months before treatment (control group) and during the 2 months of treatment (treatment group) was observed. Moreover, the incidence of their target joint bleeding was measured in both groups. Results Children in the control group had (3.77±2.13) joint bleedings while children in the treatment group had (0.46±0.87) joint bleedings, which was obviously lower than those in the control group (Plt;0.01). Meanwhile, the incidence of target joint bleeding in the treatment group was 0%, which was obviously lower than that in the control group (35.7%) (Plt;0.01). In the treatment group, the costs of treatment were about RMB 510-680 yuan/kg every 2 months. Conclusions Treatment with low-dose short-course infusion of recombinant human factor Ⅷ concentration can effectively decrease joint bleeding in children with severe and moderate hemophilia A, and can effectively decrease the incidence of target joint bleeding. Therefore, this method may play an important role in protection of the joint function in those patients at an acceptable cost.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the pharmacoeconomics research of coagulation factor Ⅷ for the treatment of hemophilia A. MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect pharmacoeconomic studies of coagulation factor Ⅷ for the treatment of hemophilia A from inception to February 2022. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies; then, qualitative systematic review was carried out from the aspects of research model, research parameters and uncertainty analysis. ResultsA total of 17 pharmacoeconomic studies were included. The overall quality of the included literature was relatively high, and most of them conformed to the basic framework of pharmacoeconomic research; however, there were still differences and deficiencies in model setting and parameter selection. Most results of the study evaluation showed that prophylaxis of coagulation factor Ⅷ had cost-effectiveness advantages over on-demand treatment. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the preventive treatment of coagulation factor Ⅷ may have certain cost-effectiveness advantages compared with on-demand treatment; however, the adaptability of this conclusion to China still needs to be analyzed.
Objective To analyze the predictive value of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score on severity and prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Methods The ARDS patients who were admitted between January 2010 and May 2012 were recruited in the study. APACHEⅡ score and plasma vWF were detected on the first day and the third day after diagnose of ARDS. The patients were divided intoasurvival group andadeath group according the prognosis. The predictive value of vWF and APACHEⅡ score on prognosis were analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Lung injury score was calculated and its relationship with vWF and APACHEⅡ score were analyzed. Results One-hundred and twelve cases of ARDS were enrolled. There were no significant differences between the survival group and the death group in sex, age, respiration rate, blood pressure, white blood cells, procalcitonin or C-reactive protein (P > 0.05). On the first day after diagnosis of ARDS, the APACHEⅡ score and vWF level of the survival group were significantly lower than those in the death group (P < 0.05). On the third day, the APACHEⅡ score was increased but vWF level declined compared with those on the first day (P < 0.05). On the first day, lung injury score of the survival group was 1.7±0.4, significantly lower than that in the death group (2.5±0.6). On the third day, lung injury score in the survival group decreased, while lung injury score of the death group was significantly increased (P < 0.05). On the first day, vWF and APACHEⅡ score were positively correlated with lung injury score (r=0.75, P < 0.05; r=0.79, P < 0.05), respectively. On the first day, the area under the ROC curve of APACHEⅡ score and vWF were 0.87 and 0.91, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion APACHEⅡ score and vWF have high diagnostic value in evaluating the degree of lung injury and predicting the prognosis of patients with ARDS.
Objective To explore perioperative management and postoperative effectiveness of hemophilia induced lesions of the foot and ankle. Methods Between June 1998 and February 2012, 10 cases (12 feet) of hemophilia induced lesions of the foot and ankle were treated with surgery, including 9 cases (11 feet) of hemophilia A and 1 case (1 foot) of hemophilia B. Single foot was involved in 8 cases and both feet in 2 cases, including 3 left feet and 9 right feet. All were males, aged from 13-41 years (mean, 22.6 years). Disease duration was 5-84 months (mean, 32.2 months). Preoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score was 43.2 ± 21.1. Short Form 36 Health Survey Scale (SF-36) score was 45.4 ± 20.0. All patients were given clotting factors (2 000-3 500 U) for pre-experiment and clotting factors substitution therapy was performed perioperatively. Four cases (4 feet) underwent arthrodesis, and 7 cases (8 feet) underwent Achilles tendon lengthening/tendon transposition (1 patient underwent tendon lengthening on the left foot and arthrodesis on the right foot). Results The operation time was 65-265 minutes (mean, 141.1 minutes); 1 case had 400 mL blood loss and 200 mL autogenous blood transfusion, the other cases had less than 50 mL blood loss and no blood transfusion. Wounds healed by first intention in all patients, no postoperative infection, deep vein thrombosis, or other complications occurred. All cases were followed up 6 months to 14 years and 3 months (median, 22 months). The X-ray films at last follow-up showed the patients undergoing arthrodesis obtained complete joint fusion. AOFAS scores at postoperative 6 months and last follow-up were 78.8 ± 14.7 and 75.8 ± 14.5, respectively; SF-36 scores were 76.6 ± 13.1 and 75.5 ± 13.2, respectively; and significant differences were found when compared with preoperative scores (P lt; 0.05), but no significant difference between postoperative 6 months and last follow-up (P gt; 0.05). Conclusion For patients with hemophilia induced lesions of the foot and ankle, surgical treatment could relieve foot and ankle pain and improve the function. Clotting factors pre-experiment at preoperation and substitution therapy at perioperation can reduce the risk of severe postoperative hemorrhage.
