These results suggest the existence of significant associations between FSH, E2, OV, AFC, and menopause status, supporting the use of the STRAW system among community-based women in China. Further study of the MT is recommended to confirm the appropriateness of the STRAW system for Chinese women.
Lymphatic malformation-6 (LMPHM6) is a rarer form of nonimmune hydrops that often manifests as widespread lymphedema involving all segments of the body, namely, subcutaneous edema, intestinal/pulmonary lymphangiectasia, chylothoraces, and pleural/pericardial effusions. Here, we detected one rare and previously unobserved homozygous missense variant in PIEZO1 (c.5162C>G, p.Ser1721Trp) as a novel genetic cause of autosomal recessive LMPHM6, in a family with three adverse pregnancy outcomes due to nonimmune fetal hydrops. Although, the loss-of-function mutations such as those usually including nonsense, frameshift, splice site, and also fewer missense variants in PIEZO1 have been proved to lead to LMPHM6, among these, the biallelic homozygous mutations resulting in the loss of function of PIEZO1 have not been reported before. Here, we first strongly implicated impaired PIEZO1 function–associated LMPHM6 with a homozygous missense mutation in PIEZO1.
Background
To explore the efficacy and safety of minocycline as adjuvant therapy for refractory mycoplasma pneumonia in Chinese children.
Methods
PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP database were systematically searched. Studies where minocycline was used as adjuvant therapy for refractory mycoplasma pneumonia in Chinese children were included. The effect of numeration data and the measurement data were represented by odds ratios (OR) and weighted mean differences (MD), respectively. Review Manager version 5.3 was used to compare the treatment efficacy, time for the cough to subside, defervescence time, hospitalisation time, adverse events and other indicators.
Results
Ten studies involving 857 patients were included in the final analysis. Compared with the conventional treatment of refractory mycoplasma pneumonia in children, the addition of minocycline as adjuvant therapy was found to improve the treatment efficacy (OR: 5.45; 95% CI: 3.46, 8.57, p < 0.001); shorten the duration of cough (MD: -3.61; 95%CI: -4.25, -2.97, p < 0.001), fever time (MD: -4.77; 95% CI: -6.30, -3.23, p < 0.001) and hospitalisation time (MD: -5.53 (95% CI: -7.19, -3.88, p < 0.001); and decrease the concentration of C-reactive protein (MD: -13.95; 95%CI: -18.61, -9.29; p < 0.001) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (MD: -10.88; 95% CI: -14.05, -7.72, p < 0.001). The use of minocycline did not lead to significant adverse events (OR = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.39, 1.01, p = 0.05).
Conclusion
The use of minocycline as adjuvant treatment of refractory mycoplasma pneumonia in Chinese children has good efficacy and safety and may be promoted in clinical practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
