Objective:To investigate the relationship between previous bleeding history and poor prognosis of patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding.Methods:This study was a prospective multicentre real-world study (Acute Upper Gastrointestinal Real-word study, AUGUR study). The data of patients with UGIB who were admitted to the emergency department of 20 tertiary hospitals in China from June 30, 2020 to February 10, 2021 were collected. According to the number of previous bleeding history, the patients were divided into three groups (0 time, 1-3 times, and≥4 times). Based on the patient’s demographic data, clinical characteristics, laboratory data, treatment, and outcomes, univariate and logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate the correlation between the number of previous bleeding and the 90-day mortality and rebleeding of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.Results:A total of 1 072 patients with acute UGIB were included in this study. The all-cause mortality and rebleeding rate of all patients were 10.9% (117/1 072) and 11.8% (129/1 072), respectively. Among them, 712 patients (66.42%) had no previous bleeding, 297 patients (27.71%) had previous bleeding 1-3 times, and 63 patients (5.88%) had previous bleeding≥4 times. In univariate analysis, age, vital signs and consciousness on admission, history of liver cirrhosis, onset with hematemesis, admission hemoglobin, varicose veins bleeding, peptic ulcer bleeding, red blood cell infusion, tracheal intubation and the use of vasopressors after admission were risk factors for the 90-day mortality and rebleeding rate. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients with previous bleeding≥4 times had a higher risk of the 90-day mortality ( OR=2.17, 95% CI: 1.04-4.57, P=0.040) and rebleeding ( OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.19-4.53, P=0.013). Conclusions:The history of previous bleeding≥ 4 times can be used as an independent risk factor for the 90-day mortality and rebleeding in patients with acute UGIB.

Mucolipidosis II and III alpha/beta are autosomal recessive diseases caused by mutations in the GNPTAB gene which encodes the α and β subunits of the N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase. Clinically, mucolipidosis II (MLII) is characterized by severe developmental delay, coarse facial features, skeletal deformities, and other systemic involvement. In contrast, MLIII alpha/beta is a much milder disorder, the symptoms of which include progressive joint stiffness, short stature, and scoliosis. To study the relationship between the genotypes and phenotypes of the MLII and MLIII alpha/beta patients, we analyzed the GNPTAB gene in 16 Chinese MLII and MLIII alpha/beta patients. We collected and analyzed the patients' available clinical data and all showed clinical features typical of MLII or MLIII alpha/beta. Moreover, the activity of several lysosomal enzymes was measured in the plasma and finally the GNPTAB gene was sequenced. We detected 30 mutant alleles out of 32 alleles in our patients. These include 10 new mutations (c.99delC, c.118-1G>A, c.523_524delAAinsG, c.1212C>G, c.2213C>A, c.2345C>T, c.2356C>T, c.2455G>T, c.2821dupA, and c.3136-2A>G) and 5 previously reported mutations (c.1071G>A, c.1090C>T, c.2715+1G>A, c.2550_2554delGAAA, and c.3613C>T). The most frequent mutation was the splicing mutation c.2715+1G>A, which accounted for 28% of the mutations. The majority of the mutations reported in the Chinese patients (57%) were located on exon 13 or in its intronic flanking regions.
Background: Kabuki syndrome is a rare hereditary disease affecting multiple organs. The causative genes identified to date are KMT2D and KDMA6. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical manifestations and the spectrum of mutations of KMT2D.Methods: We retrospectively retrieved a series of eight patients from two hospitals in China and conducted Sanger sequencing for all of the patients and their parents if available. We also reviewed the literature and plotted the mutation spectrum of KMT2D.Results: The patients generally presented with typical clinical manifestations as previously reported in other countries. Uncommon symptoms included spinal bifida and Dandy-Walker malformation. With respect to the mutations, five mutations were found in five patients, including two frameshift indels, one nonsense mutation and two missense mutations.Conclusions: This is the first case series on Kabuki syndrome in Mainland China. Unusual symptoms, such as spinal bifida and Dandy-Walker syndrome, suggested that neurological developmental defects may accompany Kabuki syndrome. This case series helps broaden the mutation spectrum of Kabuki syndrome and adds information regarding the manifestations of Kabuki syndrome.
The clinical data of three Chinese children who had been definitely diagnosed with X-link dominate hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH) by gene mutation analysis of phosphate-regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X chromosome (PHEX) were retrospectively studied and the relevant literature was reviewed. PHEX gene mutations were detected in all 3 XLH children; a nonsense mutation (c.58C>T) in one case and splicing mutations (c.1645+1G>A, c.436+1G>A) in the other two cases. Among these mutations, c.436+1G>A was novel. As of January 2014, a total of 329 PHEX gene mutations were reported, primarily within three mutation hot spots, throughout the world. Missense mutations accounted for the highest proportion (24%) among all mutations. There is literature showing geographic differences in the total number of XLH subjects and PHEX mutation types across the world. In the current literature, 89 cases of XLH with 28 types of PHEX mutations have been reported in the population of mainland China. Exon 22 is the most frequent mutation site (18%) and missense mutations are the most common type of mutations (61%). It is concluded that exon 22 is the mutation hot spot and missense mutation is the most common type of mutation in the PHEX gene in Chinese XLH patients and that c.436+1G>A detected in this study is a novel PHEX gene mutation in Chinese with XLH.
BACKGROUND:Mucolipidosis type III gamma (MLIII gamma) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the GNPTG gene, which encodes the γ subunit of the N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphotransferase (GlcNAc-1-phosphotransferase). This protein plays a key role in the transport of lysosomal hydrolases to the lysosome. METHODS:Three Chinese children with typical skeletal abnormalities of MLIII were identified, who were from unrelated consanguineous families. After obtaining informed consent, genomic DNA was isolated from the patients and their parents. Direct sequencing of the GNPTG and GNPTAB genes was performed using standard PCR reactions. RESULTS:The three probands showed clinical features typical of MLIII gamma, such as joint stiffness and vertebral scoliosis without coarsened facial features. Mutation analysis of the GNPTG gene showed that three novel mutations were identified, two in exon seven [c.425G>A (p.Cys142Val)] and [c.515dupC (p.His172Profs27X)], and one in exon eight [c.609+1G>C]. Their parents were determined to be heterozygous carriers when compared to the reference sequence in GenBank on NCBI. CONCLUSIONS:Mutation of the GNPTG gene is the cause of MLIII gamma in our patients. Our findings expand the mutation spectrum of the GNPTG gene and extend the knowledge of the phenotype-genotype correlation of the disease.
