    Entry into the new era of care for children with hemophilia
    WANG Tian-you, WU Run-hui
    2017, 32(1): 18-22.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010605
    Abstract ( )  

    Thanks to the development of science,hemophilia care is improved gradually,and hemophilia is turning from one of inherited bleeding diseases with death and disability into one of lifelong diseases and it’s likely to deal with successfully in clinics. At present,the main problems of children hemophilia care are how to cost-effectively execute the prophylaxis and how to prevent and control the inhibitor. With the creation of novel technologies and products in hemophilia care,the conceptions and strategies of care are facing updating and challenges. Although China is a developing country and is slow in starting the care,the development of Children Hemophilia Care  has improved rapidly. With the more individualized treatment and novel technologies and products,the Children Hemophilia Care will enter a new era.

    New insights in diagnosis of children hemophilia
    CHEN Zhen-ping,FANG Yong-jun
    2017, 32(1): 23-28.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010606
    Abstract ( )  

    Hemophilia A(HA) and HB is a X-link recessive hereditary hemorrhagic disorder with genetic characteristics of male suffering and female carrying. In this paper,we will focus on three aspects of hemophilia,including the genetic diagnosis,inhibitor of factors and pharmacokinetics. The method of gene diagnosis for hemophilia included DNA sequencing,PCR,DGGE,SSCP,etc. At present,the FⅧ intron 22 inversion analysis can be used as a clinical screening test for severe HA. Prenatal diagnosis is helpful to reduce the birth rate of hemophilia. The factor inhibitor causes invalid replacement therapy for hemophilia. Individual hemophilia patients have different pharmacokinetics(PK). In addition to considering the bleeding event,the PK parameters should be considered as an important indicator for adjustment of individual preventive treatment. The relevant PK parameters include the half-life,clearance rate,in vivo recovery rate(IVR),the area under the curve(AUC),peak concentration,etc. The influencing factors for PK include age,body weight,blood type and von Willebrand factor(vWF) level. The above progress contributes to individual adjustment of treatment strategy for patients with hemophilia.

    DU Qing,LI Xin,YUAN Xiao-jun,et al.
    2017, 32(1): 29-31.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010607
    Abstract ( )  

    Hemophilia is a hereditary hemorrhagic disease caused by deficiency of coagulation factors. With the development of science and technology,improving the quality of life of hemophilia children has attracted more and more attention on the basis of conventional therapy. By conducting rehabilitation evaluation and treatment during different phases,the function of children should be improved and disability occurrence should be decreased. Appropriate rehabilitation treatment can increase the recovery of injury,prevent or reduce the incidence of complication and deformity in children with hemophilia,and maintain the range of motion,thus improve the quality of life.

    Management  of inhibitors in hemophilic  children
    FENG Xiao-qin
    2017, 32(1): 31-34.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010608
    Abstract ( )  

    Hemophilic children have high incidence of inhibitor. In addition to genetic risk factors,non-genetic risk factors not only play an important role in the development of inhibitor,but also directly affect the treatment strategy of hemophilia. Surgical procedures and intensive treatment for severe bleeding increased inhibitor risk. Regular prophylaxis,especially after 20 exposure day,was associated with lower risk. Immune tolerance induction(ITI) to eradicate high-titre and high-responding inhibitors is the mainstay of management. The high-dose and low-dose ITI were equally effective in inducing tolerance in good-risk patients,but high-dose ITI could reduce intercurrent bleeding and achieve tolerance more rapidly than low-dose ITI. Immunomodulation is not recommended as a first-line component of ITI. Immunomodulation may be considered in subsequent ITI attempts in patients with high-responding inhibitors who do not respond to initial treatment. The addition of rituximab to ITI may be useful for patients with inhibitors that are resistant to standard treatment.

    HU Qun,LIU Yu-feng
    2017, 32(1): 34-37.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010609
    Abstract ( )  

    The prophylaxis can prevent disability  in hemophilia. The ideal regimen  has not been determined yet. Individualized prophylaxis in children with hemophilia will be the direction of future development. Designing a prophylactic project for severe hemophilia must take into account each patient’s bleeding phenotype,pharmacokinetic profiles and joint assessment,even thrombin time. Optimal outcome,such as reducing hemorrhage,preventing joint damage,and improving quality of life, can be achieved through an individualized prophylaxis.

    Emergency treatment of critically ill childhood hemophilia
    LI Chang-gang*,WANG Xi-ge
    2017, 32(1): 37-40.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010610
    Abstract ( )  

    Haemophilia is a group of rare hereditary hemorrhagic diseases. Medical staff in general outpatient department and emergency room usually lack the experiences in  diagnosis and treatment of hemophilia. So patients with haemophilia may often be missed or delayed diagnosis,and some of them might lost the best chance to receive treatment on time,which may lead to various complications,and even life-threatening events occur. Therefore,it is very necessary to establish the process of diagnosis, differential diagnosis and emergency treatment for the disease. It is especially necessary to identify patients who haven’t been diagnosed with the hemorrhagic disease before, make the assessment of the degree of bleeding for these patients,and quickly make out the diagnosis and reasonable treatment to prevent the occurrence of related complications.

    ZHOU Min,LI Xiao-jing
    2017, 32(1): 40-43.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010611
    Abstract ( )  

    Hemophilia is an X-linked congenital bleeding disorder. Comprehensive care by a multidisciplinary team is the optimal treatment model for hemophilia. Multidisciplinary team members include pediatricians and/or adult hematologists,nurses,the experts in surgery,stomatology and laboratory,etc. Comprehensive care includes not only factor replacement therapy but also multidisciplinary management for surgery, oral cavity problem, vaccine, genetic counseling,etc. Coordinated by a multidisciplinary team, comprehensive care can improve the quality of life of patients with hemophilia,   decrease the cost of treatment and the burden of family or society.

    2017, 32(1): 44-47.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010612
    Abstract ( )  

    We reviewed some relevant literatures at home and abroad in recent years, and summarized the developmental status of family therapy and nursing care of children with hemophilia.During more than 40 years of practice, their life expectancy and their quality of life have significantly been improved after the hemophilia patients received treatment from the Hemophilia Treatment Center in Europe and the United States. Comprehensive hemophilia care and family therapy and care started late in China, and large domestic Hemophilia Centers played greater roles in improvement of the life quality of the patients,but there were still many problems. Family therapy and nursing care can improve the quality of life of children with hemophilia, and save the cost of health care. Family therapy and nursing care for children with hemophilia should be strengthened in Hemophilia Treatment Centers.

    Lü Yan-qiu,CHENG Hua,ZHANG Ning-ning,et al
    2017, 32(1): 55-58.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010615
    Abstract ( )  

    Objective    To detect the value of 3D T1W-WATS sequence on cartilage display of hemophilic arthropathy using quantitative and qualitative assessment. Methods    Totally 16 joints including 8 knees and 8 ankles (13 joints with hemosiderin deposition) from 16 hemophilia patients were scanned on a 3.0 T MR (Achieva TX,Philips Health care,Best,The Netherlands) with sagittal 3D T1W-WATS sequence and 2D T2*W sequence. Signal to noise ratio (SNR) of cartilage and relative contrast between cartilage and surrounding tissues were employed to measure the performance of two sequences quantitatively:SNRcartilage= SIcartilage/standard deviationnoise, relative contrast=(SIcartilage-SIsurrounding tissues)/(SIcartilage+SIsurrounding tissues). Cartilage of 13 joints were divided into 142 subareas according to the literature. The impact of hemosiderin deposition was evaluated by counting the number of subareas where the display of cartilage was affected qualitatively. Results    SNR of 3D T1W-WATS sequence was(53.93±18.80),and SNR of 2D T2*W sequence was(52.96±24.32). There was no statistical difference for SNR between two sequences(P>0.05);3D T1W-WATS sequence exhibited better relative contrast between cartilage and bone marrow, cartilage and fat, cartilage and fluid than 2D T2*W sequence(P<0.05);42 of 142 subareas of cartilage were covered with hemosiderin partially or completely in 2D T2*W sequence,while the number was only 16 in 3D T1W-WATS sequence,there being statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion    3D T1W-WATS sequence is superior in the evaluation of cartilage display for hemophiliac joints with better relative contrast and immunity to hemosiderin deposition, compared with 2D T2*W sequence.

    2017, 32(1): 59-62.  DOI: 10.19538/j.ek2017010616
    Abstract ( )  

    Objective To evaluate the number of annual bleeding and annual joint bleeding and safety of third-generation full length recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅷ(ADVATE) in the prophylactic treatment of childhood patients with moderate-to-severe hemophilia A. Methods Fifteen children aged from 5 to 18 years with moderate-to-severe hemophilia A were enrolled in the one center,prospective,nonrandom,self-control study from Nov.01,2014 to Nov.30,2016. Children were treated with one-year long-course infusion of ADVATE with a dose of 20~40 U/kg twice-weekly or three times weekly. The numbers of annual bleeding and annual joint bleeding after the prophylaxis treatment were compared with that on-demand. Moreover,any adverse effect and serious adverse reaction related to ADVATE usage were documented during the study. The FⅧ inhibitor titer were measured with modified Nijmegen method before and after the prophylaxis every 3 to 6 months. Results The FⅧ∶C for these 15 boys,median age 15,was less than 2.2%,with 8 patient severe type. The number of annual bleeding was reduced from(27.60±13.67) on-demand treatment to(2.57±1.36) after the prophylaxis treatment(P<0.001),and the number of annual joint bleeding was also reduced from(11.13±8.81) to(0.93±1.10)(P<0.001). Seven patients had zero annual joint bleeding the mean annual bleeding for mild,moderate and severe degree was decreased significantly with zero times for severe degree bleeding after the prophylactic treatment. No adverse effect or serious adverse reaction related to ADVATE was recorded during one-year period treatment and FⅧ inhibitor detection was negative. Conclusion Prophylactic treatment with ADVATE can effectively decrease the annual bleeding and annual joint bleeding in children with moderate-to-severe hemophilia A. This therapy is safe with FⅧ inhibitor test negative.
