Abstract
This article reported the clinical diagnosis and treatment experience of two cases of fetal goiter in Graves' disease (GD) complicated with pregnancy. Two GD patients took antithyroid drugs regularly during pregnancy and their thyroid functions were well controlled, but the levels of thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb) of the two cases were still above the upper limit in the second and third trimester. Two fetuses had fetal goiter in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. After continuously controlling maternal thyroid function and closely monitoring fetal ultrasound, there was no aggravation of the fetal goiter, and the delivery went smoothly. One case had neonatal hyperthyroidism. It is suggested that although the thyroid function was well controlled during pregnancy in patients with GD, the high level of serum TRAb still needs to be alert to the occurrence of fetal goiter, and fetal ultrasound is the most direct non-invasive monitoring method.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of daratumumab in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). Methods: The efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of daratumumab based regimens were retrospectively analyzed in 37 patients with RRMM from Peking University People's Hospital, Beijing Hospital and Fu Xing Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University in China. The deadline for inclusion was December, 2019. Results: Among the 37 patients, 35 patients were available for response evaluation. The overall response rate (ORR) was 68.6%, which was better in patients receiving 16 mg/kg daratumumab than in those with fixed doses of 800 mg daratumumab [ORR: 78.3%(18/23) vs. 40.0%(4/10)]. The percentage of infusion related reactions of daratumumab was 27.0%(10/37). The most common hematological AEs were lymphocytopenia and thrombocytopenia, with the incidences of grade 3 or more severe 59.5%(22/37) and 43.2%(16/37) respectively. Pulmonary infections(37.8%, 14/37) were the most common non-hematological AEs. One patient with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and two patients dependent on dialysis were safely treated with daratumumab. Conclusion: Daratumumab is highly effective in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Adverse reactions are mild and well tolerable.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of micafungin (MCF) for pulmonary invasive fungal disease (PIFD) in pediatric patients with acute leukemia or post hematopoietic stem cells transplantation. Method: Twenty-five neutropenic PIFD children with acute leukemia or post hematopoietic stem cells transplantation in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were selected from January 2012 to June 2015, including 12 males and 13 females, age range 2-15 (average 6.2±2.0) years. There were 12 cases of acute leukemia (AL) after chemotherapy, 4 cases of acute leukemia (AL) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and 9 cases of β-thalassemia major after allo-HSCT. All children received MCM for the treatment of PIFD, the dosage of MCM was 3-4 mg/ (kg·d) , once a day. The children received 2 to 6 courses of treatment, individually with a course of 7 days. 1, 3-β-D glucan assay (G test), galactomannan antigen test (GM test), high-resolution CT and the biochemical indexes for organ functions were closely monitored. Result: Twenty-five cases were diagnosed as PIFD, including 2 patients diagnosed as proven, 6 as probable and 17 as possible. Of the 25 cases, 1 was confirmed aspergillus by biopsy pathology and 1 was candida albicans by blood culture. The G and GM test with positive results was 5 and 2 respectively. Chest CT scans of the 25 cases had obvious lesions: air crescent sign and cavitation in 4 cases, diffuse ground glass change in 9 cases, double lung scattered patchy, small nodules and cord like high density shadow in 7 cases, unilateral or bilateral chest wall wedge-shaped consolidation edge in 5 cases and pleural effusion in 5 patients. The effective rate of MCF in treatment of PIFD was 68% (17/25), including 13 cases cured, 4 cases improved, 4 cases were improved clinically and in 4 cases the treatment was ineffective. Eight cases were effective in MCF monotherapy group (12 cases) and nine were effective in MCF combined therapy group(13 cases), respectively. Side-effects including allergies, gastrointestinal side effects, electrolyte disturbances, impairment of liver and kidney function, and myelosuppression were not found in those children treated with MCF. Conclusion: Micafungin is effective and safe in the treatment of pulmonary invasive fungal disease in pediatric patients with acute leukemia or post hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the immunity to mumps after administrating measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) among children aged 2-7 years old in Jiangsu province in 2015. Methods: A total of 4 190 healthy children aged 2-7 years old, living in local places for at least 3 months, and having been vaccinated at least 1 dose MMR were recruited to the study from Wujin district of Changzhou city, Gaogang district of Taizhou city and Ganyu district of Lianyungang city by using stratified cluster random sampling method between September and November, 2015. Those who did not accept MMR vaccination, who refused venous blood collection, who had affected mumps according to the memory of parents or teachers and who were diagnosed serious disease by clinical doctors were excluded from study. The self-designed questionnaire was used to collect the general information of the subjects and their MMR immunization history; and 0.5-2.0 ml of venous blood was collected from each subject. ELISA was used to detect the mumps antibody level in the serum of patients. Positive was defined as the antibody level ≥108 mU/ml, and negative as <108 mU/ml. χ(2) test was used to compare the difference in positive rates among subjects; and analysis of variance was used to compare the GMC changes in different time points after MMR vaccination. Results: Among 4 190 children, 2 280 were males (54.42%) and 1 910 were females(45.58%), and the positive rate of IgG antibody was 81.38% (3 344). There were 3 156 (95.18%) children vaccinated with one dose MMR, 187 (4.80%) children with two dose MMR, and 1 (0.02%) child with three dose MMR. The difference in positive rate of IgG antibody among different aged subjects showed statistical significance (χ(2)=58.61, P<0.001), the highest positive rate was in group of subjects aged 4-5 years old, at 89.43% (406/454), while the lowest positive rate was found among subjects aged 6-7 years old, at 75.63% (1 648/2 179). The positive rate after one dose of MMR vaccination was 79.14% (3 156/3 988), significantly less than it after two doses (93.03%, 187/201) (χ(2)=22.93, P<0.001). The GMC level at years<1, 1-<2, 2-<3, 3-<4, ≥4 following one dose MMR in the 3 988 children was 152.47, 227.78, 167.08, 126.91, 79.43 mU/ml, whose difference was statistically significant (F=51.29, P<0.001). Conclusion: The sero-prevalence of IgG antibody in the children aged 2-7 years old in Jiangsu province was high. The positive rate among who received two doses MMR was significantly higher than it among who received just one dose, and the GMC level waned with times.

Abstract
Objective: To understand the characteristics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in epidemiology and distribution from Guangdong Province, and to explore the risk factors associated with drug resistance. Methods: A total of 225 clinical strains of MTB collected from 5 drug resistance monitoring sites of Guangdong Province in 2015 were tested by Regions of Difference 105 (RD105) deletion test and 15 loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRU) were used for genotyping. Gene clustering was analyzed using BioNumerics7.6. Drug susceptibility test was tested by proportion method. The statistical analysis used chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression. Results: There were 158 (70.2%) Beijing family strains from the 225 cases. Hunter-gaston index of MIRU loci varied from each other. The MTBs from Guangdong Province were categorized into 2 gene clusters by clustering analysis in which the rate of cluster of complexⅠwas significantly higher than complexⅡ(χ(2) values were 9.331, P values were 0.020). It was found by multivariate logistic regression that Qub11b was associated with resistance to rifampicin and isoniazid (P values were 0.013, 0.012 respectively.), ETR F with resistance to isoniazid, streptomycin, ethambutol and ofloxacin (P values were 0.039, 0.040, 0.023 and 0.003 respectively), Mtub21 with resistance to capreomycin (P values were 0.040), and QUB26 with resistance to ethionamide (P values were 0.047). Conclusions: The genes of MTB from Guangdong Province were of polymorphisms and the distribution of strains were stable. QUB11b, ETR F, Mtub21 and QUB26 could be related to biomarkers for predicting drug resistance.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTEOS) functionalized sodium alginate (SA) porous membrane adsorbent (APTEOS/SA) and tested its adsorption performance for removing of Cr(III) ions. The physico-chemical properties of the pristine and Cr(III) ions loaded APTEOS/SA were investigated by FT-IR, SEM-EDX, TG, AFM, and contact angle goniometer methods. To investigate the adsorption kinetics of Cr(III) ions onto this newly developed APTEOS/SA, we performed a batch of experiments under different adsorption conditions: solution pH, adsorbent dose, initial Cr(III) ion concentration, adsorption temperature, and contact time. The APTEOS/SA exhibited an encouraging uptake capacity of 90.0mg/g under suitable adsorption conditions. To study the mechanism of adsorption process, we examined the Lagergren pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic model, the intra-particular diffusion model, and the Crank model. Kinetics experiments indicated that the pseudo-first-order model displayed the best correlation with adsorption kinetics data. The Crank model showed that the intra-particle solute diffusion was the main rate-controlling step. Furthermore, our adsorption equilibrium data could be better described by the Freundlich equation. We also carried out consecutive adsorption-desorption experiments eight times to show that the APTEOS/SA has encouraging adsorption-desorption efficiencies. The results indicates that the prepared adsorbent is promising for using as an effective and economical adsorbent for Cr(III) ions removal.

Abstract
Because of the rarity of dural sinus thrombosis in children with polycythaemia vera (PV), the options for diagnosis and treatment remain elusive. A 12-year-old girl was admitted with dural sinus thrombosis associated with PV, diagnosed by magnetic resonance venography. She was managed with interventional endovascular thrombolectomy and venoplasty, phlebotomy, hydroxyurea, low molecular weight heparin, and aspirin followed by warfarin. She made a good recovery without residual neurological deficit. This case highlights the importance of diagnosis and appropriate intervention with multi-modality treatments in patients with PV and thrombosis.

Abstract
An innovative stress/strain fields scanning probe microscopy in ultra high vacuum (UHV) environments is developed for the first time. This system includes scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and noncontact atomic force microscope (NC-AFM). Two piezo-resistive AFM cantilever probes and STM probes used in this system can move freely in XYZ directions. The nonoptical frequency shift detection of the AFM probe makes the system compact enough to be set in the UHV chambers. The samples can be bent by an anvil driven by a step motor to induce stress and strain on their surface. With a direct current (dc) power source, the sample can be observed at room and high temperatures. A long focus microscope and a monitor are used to observe the samples and the operation of STM and AFM. Silicon(111) surface in room temperature and silicon(001) surface in high temperature with stress were investigated to check the performance of the scanning probe microscope.

Abstract
This study proposes a new zein nanoparticle (ZP) encapsulated 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) that target liver through intravenous delivery. The ZPs were prepared by phase separation process and optimized using uniform experimental design. The physical properties, in vitro drug release and stability of optimal drug-loaded ZPs were studied. The biodistribution and the target efficiency of the particles were investigated in a mouse model. The highest drug loading was obtained using zein: 5-FU, 3:1 (v/v); zein concentration, 12.5mg/ml, pH 9.18, mixing time, 3h and ethanol concentration, 40%. The encapsulation efficiency and the drug loading were 60.7 ± 1.74 and 9.17 ± 0.11 respectively. The size of ZPs and zeta potential were 114.9 ± 59.4 nm and -45 ± 0.3 mV respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) demonstrated that the drug was encapsulated within the ZPs. A sustained release profile of 5-FU was observed from ZPs. The more stable storage condition of ZPs was at a temperature of 4 °C. In vivo, ZPs was mostly accumulated in liver following intravenous injection, and the targeting efficiency increased 31.33%. The relative uptake rate of liver was 2.79. Also, nano-sized ZPs were beneficial for prolonged blood residence (7.2-fold increase). These demonstrated that the drug-loaded ZPs could be efficiently targeted at the liver by intravenous delivery.

Abstract
The effects of filler used in the pellet cores (ie, waxy cornstarch or lactose) and the enteric film coat thickness on the diffusion and dissolution of a freely soluble drug were studied. Two kinds of pellet cores containing riboflavin sodium phosphate as a model drug, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as a basic filler, and waxy cornstarch or lactose as a cofiller were film coated (theoretically weight increase 20% or 30%) with an aqueous dispersion of cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP). The diffusion of riboflavin sodium phosphate in aqueous enteric-coated pellets was investigated using noninvasive confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The in vitro release tests were performed using a USP apparatus I (basket method). Diffusion of drug from the core to the film coat was found to be greater with lactose-containing pellets than with waxy cornstarch-containing pellets. The dissolution test showed that 30% enteric-coated waxy cornstarch pellets had a good acidic resistance in 0.1 N HCl solution for at least 1 hour, while the other enteric pellet formulations failed the test. The waxy cornstarch-containing enteric pellets dissolved at SIF in less than 10 minutes. Confocal images of film-coated pellets showed that waxy cornstarch-containing pellets had less drug dissolved than respective lactose-containing pellets. The observations were further confirmed by measurement of fluorescence intensity of riboflavin sodium phosphate in the film coat. The dissolution test was consistent with the confocal microscopy results. In conclusion, waxy cornstarch as a cofiller in the pellet cores minimizes premature drug diffusion from the core into the film coat layer.

Abstract
The effect of an aqueous amylopectin subcoating on the acidic resistance and dissolution behaviour of enteric-coated pellets was studied. Freely water-soluble riboflavin sodium phosphate (RSP) was used as a model drug, and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and lactose as fillers in the pellet cores. The pellets were subcoated with 5% aqueous amylopectin solution or with 5% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) solution, and subsequently film-coated with aqueous dispersion of cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP). Drug release of enteric-coated pellets was investigated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Dissolution tests showed that amylopectin subcoating improved the acidic resistance of the enteric-coated pellets in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid (HCl) compared with HPMC subcoating. As the amylopectin subcoating load was increased to 4% and the aqueous CAP coating load to 35%, the coated pellets resisted in 0.1 N HCl solution for approximately 1 h (the amount of drug released was below 10%), and they dissolved in the SIF without enzymes in less than 10 min. Confocal microscopy images and profiles of mean fluorescence intensities of RSP (obtained in the range of the interface of the pellet core and the film and the film coating surface) showed consistent results with dissolution tests. It seems that amylopectin subcoating can prevent the influx of the dissolution medium into the pellet core, and thus decrease the premature dissolution and release of the drug from the enteric-coated pellets in 0.1 N HCl solution. The drug release mechanism appeared to be osmotically driven release, and followed by diffusion through the polymer film.

Abstract
A molecular dynamics simulation has been used in exploring the behavior of a single long chain polyethylene (PE) on a solid surface. We have established how varying the intermolecular (polymer-surface) van der Waals (vdW) interaction force effects the structural and dynamic properties of the polymer chain. For a high intermolecular vdW force, the starting PE chain absorbs on to solid surface, and develops into a stretched monolayerlike structure. However, for a low intermolecular vdW force, segments in the PE chain avoid the surface and fold into a compact lamellalike structure. However, for a moderate intermolecular vdW force, the PE chain forms into a polylayerlike structure where stems align parallel to the surface. Unlike the short chain molecules, the overall conformations developed by the long chain PE possess a degree of intramolecular (intrachain) order. In addition to these, we have systematically analyzed the changes in components of the square of the radius of gyration parallel and orthogonal to the surface, as well as the intermolecular and intramolecular vdW energy of the PE chain when it transforms to monolayerlike, lamellalike, and polylayerlike configurations. Results show that the structural change is in phase with the variation of parallel and orthogonal components of the square of the radius of gyration, and has a corresponding relation with the intermolecular and intramolecular vdW energy. The intermolecular vdW force drags the PE chain lying on the surface and stretching into a loose monolayer. The intramolecular vdW force, rather than any of the other intramolecular interactions, drives the PE chain folding into a compact, ordered lamella.

Abstract
Direct compression of riboflavin sodium phosphate tablets was studied by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The technique is non-invasive and generates three-dimensional (3D) images. Tablets of 1% riboflavin sodium phosphate with two grades of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) were individually compressed at compression forces of 1.0 and 26.8 kN. The behaviour and deformation of drug particles on the upper and lower surfaces of the tablets were studied under compression forces. Even at the lower compression force, distinct recrystallized areas in the riboflavin sodium phosphate particles were observed in both Avicel PH-101 and Avicel PH-102 tablets. At the higher compression force, the recrystallization of riboflavin sodium phosphate was more extensive on the upper surface of the Avicel PH-102 tablet than the Avicel PH-101 tablet. The plastic deformation properties of both MCC grades reduced the fragmentation of riboflavin sodium phosphate particles. When compressed with MCC, riboflavin sodium phosphate behaved as a plastic material. The riboflavin sodium phosphate particles were more tightly bound on the upper surface of the tablet than on the lower surface, and this could also be clearly distinguished by CLSM. Drug deformation could not be visualized by other techniques. Confocal laser scanning microscopy provides valuable information on the internal mechanisms of direct compression of tablets.
