Objective To evaluate the value of bispectral index(BIS)monitoring as an indicator for extubation sedation level after children's oper?ation by total intravenous anesthesia. Methods One hundred and eighty children(2?13 years old)were randomly divided into six groups with 30 cases in each. Group A kept BIS 56?60,and Group B 61?65,Group C 66?70,Group D 71?75,Group E 76?80,Group F 81?85 till extubation. All children were given fentanyl,propofol and cisatracurium besilate when induced,and maintained with propofol and remifentanil. All cases kept BIS 40?55 during the operation. Then the changes of electrocardiogram,mean arterial pressure,heart rate,SpO2,postoperative complications and recovery time were observed. Results Groups A and B were extubated at deep anesthesia,cycle stability,but with high incidence of adverse reactions and awaked with a long time. Groups E and F were extubated when awaked,but with greater stimulation and easier agitation. Groups C and D were lighter hemodynamic responses,less respiratory effects and less postoperative complications of anesthesia. Conclusion The BIS level of 66?75 is a good se?dation level for extubation,especially in the level of 71?75.

With the advance of research, non-coding RNA has been found to surpass the traditional definition to directly code functional proteins by coding sequence elements and binding with ribosomes. Among the non-coding RNAs, the function of circRNA encoded proteins has been most extensively studied. This study has used "circRNA", "encoded", and "translation" as the key words to search the PubMed and Web of Science databases. The retrieved literature was screened and traced, with the translation mechanism, related research methods, and correlation with diseases of circRNA reviewed. CircRNA can translate proteins through a non-cap-dependent pathway. Multiple molecular techniques, in particular mass spectrometry analysis, have important value in identifying unique peptide segments of circRNA encoded proteins for confirming their existence. The proteins encoded by the circRNA are involved in the pathogenesis of diseases of the digestive, neurological, urinary systems and the breast, and have the potential to serve as novel targets for disease diagnosis and treatment. This article has provided a comprehensive review for the basic theory, experimental methods, and disease-related research in the field of circRNA translation, which may provide clues for the identification of new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Objective:To investigate the current status of clinical teaching towards postgraduates of master of nursing specialist(MNS) in China.Methods:Objective sampling was used to invest 390 MNS clinical nursing teachers in 36 hospitals across the country. The survey included the admission and evaluation criteria of teachers, the MNS postgraduates′ clinical teaching plan and implementation, and the assessment of MNS postgraduate ′s clinical practice ability, etc. Results:Among the criteria for clinical teachers for MNS postgraduates, 79.49% of departments required bachelor ′s degree or above, and 67.18% of departments requested medium-grade professional title or above; 47.44% of the departments demanded that clinical teachers had the research experience, 58.21% departments asked for the experience of articles publication. The main method of selecting clinical teaching teachers was examination (50%), while 31.28% departments had no definite criteria. The evaluation indicators of clinical teachers mainly depended on the results of students ′ clinical practice capability assessment (81.79%) and students ′ satisfaction (80%). Only 49.23% of the study objects knew the training objectives of MNS. The pivotal abilities of MNS graduate students were the ability of clinical nursing practice (91.79%) and clinical research (82.82%). The MNS postgraduate teaching plan of each department was mainly derived from the requirements of tutors and colleges (87.69%). The mode of clinical teaching was that one student was guided by a fixed clinical teacher (87.18%). Clinical practice assessment methods of MNS mainly included theoretical knowledge assessment (88.46%) and the performance of section lectures (82.56%). The assessment personnel were mainly clinical teachers (95.40%) and head nurses (83.51%). The self-assessment of clinical teachers was rated at the medium level about their performance on the postgraduate MNS students ′ clinical teaching. Conclusions:The homogenization and standardization of the construction of MNS clinical teaching base needs to be improved in China. In the field of defining the criteria of clinical teaching teachers, strengthening the construction of clinical faculty, perfecting the clinical teaching plan and evaluation system according to the cultivation objectives and specialist characteristics, and elevating the comprehensive medical education combined with clinical education and college education, further exploration is indispensable.

Objective:
To examine pubertal timing across body mass index (BMI) trajectory under polygenic susceptibility in boys and girls,and to provide a reference basis for children’s adolescent development deviation form early intervention strategies.
Methods:
All the participants were recruited from 1 to 3 grade in 2016 from 2 Bengbu primary school and were followed up for 3 consecutive years. The study comprised 997 children (418 boys) with available data for height, weight, BMI, breast Tanner stages and testicular volume annually. The polygenic risk score (PRS) was computed based on 17 SNPs derived from published genome-wide association studies for early pubertal timing. Group-based trajectory model (GBTM) was used to identified BMI trajectory in children. Accelerated failure time model (AFT) was used to examine associations of different BMI trajectory and polygenic risk with pubertal development in boys and girls.
Results:
Classes of BMI trajectory were persistently healthy weight, persistently overweight and persistently obesity. Adjusted concomitant variables, boys with persistently obesity exhibited 6.10-mo delay of testicular volume in low polygenic risk group (adjusted TR=1.05,P=0.04). Compared with the girls in persistently healthy weight group, the girls with low PRS were persistently overweight or obesity, which was associated with thelarche age 3.42 and 6.84-mo earlier, respectively (adjusted TR=0.97,0.94,P<0.01). Persistently overweight or obesity in girls with moderate PRS was associated with an earlier age of thelarche timing of 6.72 and 8.96-mo, respectively (adjusted TR=0.94,0.92, P<0.01). At high PRS groups, the persistently obese girls were found to have a more advanced age (10.80 and 12.96-mo, respectively) of thelarche (adjusted TR=0.90,0.88, P<0.01).
Conclusion
Persistently overweight and obesity is associated with early thelarche in girls, but persistently obesity may increase delayed puberty risk in boys with low polygenic risk.

Peritoneal dialysis is a recognized renal replacement therapy. Long term peritoneal dialysis will lead to changes in the morphology and function of the peritoneum, that is, peritoneal fibrosis, which is a known cause of the loss of peritoneal ultrafiltration capacity. Pyroptosis is a special type of soluble programmed cell death, characterized by cell swelling, rupture, secretion of cell contents and significant proinflammatory effect. The pyroptosis can be divided into typical and atypical pathways, and the inflammatory body of NOD like receptor heat protein domain related protein 3 (NLRP3) is the most important initiator. Current evidence shows that high glucose peritoneal dialysis fluid can induce peritoneal Mesothelium to scorch, and the inflammation and cell damage caused by it can aggravate the progress of peritoneal fibrosis. Different signal pathways have been proved to regulate the occurrence of pyroptosis. The latest research has proved that some potential targeted methods to inhibit pyroptosis can effectively inhibit the inflammation of peritoneal mesothelium and alleviate peritoneal fibrosis. This article mainly discusses the molecular mechanism of pyroptosis and the relationship between pyroptosis and peritoneal fibrosis.
