Objective To analyze the laboratory determination results of hand-foot-mouth disease(HFMD)and explore its sig-nificance.Methods Pharyngeal swab specimens were collected from 502 children with HFMD(severe case:104 cases and mild case:398 cases).Specific RNA of enterovirus primer(EV),enterovirus71 (EV71)and coxsackievirus A16(CA16)were detected by real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Simultaneously,white blood cell (WBC),direct bilirubin(DBIL),alanine transarninase(ALT),creatine kinase MB isoenzyme(CK-MB)and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH )were determined,and the results were analyzed.Results Among the 502 children,384 cases were positive for EV,262 cases were positive for EV71,and 39 cases were positive for CA16.The positive rates were 76.49%,52.19% and 7.76%,respectively.In the 104 HFMD severe cases,EV71 positive rate was 92.31%(96/104).There were clearly more boys than girls.The age distribution was mainly in the group under 3-year-old(402 cases,80.08%).In the group under 3-year-old,there were 97 severe cases(93.27%),and the EV71 positive rate was 92.78%(90/97).Serum levels of WBC,DBIL,ALT,CK-MB and LDH were higher in severe HFMD group than in mild group(P <0.05).Conclusion The HFMD occurred mostly at the children under 3-year-old.The HFMD appeared is mainly related to the EV infection,and EV71 is the main pathogen causing the severe cases of HFMD.

Objective To analyze the abnormal region of gray matter and its distribution characteristics in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI),and to investigate the structural brain changes which closely related to mild cognitive impairment.Methods 27 PD patients were examined by T1WI three-dimensional brain volume (3D-fast spoiled gradient echo,3D-FSPGR) sequence,and were divided into 2 groups:PD patients with mild cognitive impairment group (PD-MCI group,n＝15) and PD patients without mild cognitive impairment (PD-nMCI group,n=12).Gray matter map in the two groups were analyzed by using voxel based morphometry (VBM) based on SPM5.Results There were significant differences in MMSE and MoCA scores between the two groups (P＜0.01 or 0.05).Compared with PD-nMCI group,gray matter volumes in PD-MCI group were decreased in bilateral mid frontal gyrus,left precentral gyrus,right mid-temporal gyrus,left superior temporal gyrus,transverse temporal gyrus,bilateral lingual gyrus,right cuneus,bilateral insular and right posterior cingutate gyrus.Conclusions Gray matter atrophy in bilateral mid-frontal gyrus,insular and left precentral gyrus is closely related to the mild cognitive impairment in PD patients.

Objective To evaluate the improvement effect of Nerve Growth Decoction ( NGD) on symptoms in senile Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with multi-scales.Methods Totally 100 PD patients who have previously taken Madopa therapy were divided into NGD treatment group(70 cases) and control group( 30 cases) .The NGD treatment group took a package of NGD oral solution twice a day for 30 days,and went on next period of 30 days after an interval of 1~2 weeks.The Unified Parkinson disease Rating Scale (UPDRSⅡ,UPDRSⅢ),the PD NMS Questionnaire (NMSQuest),Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL), the 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire ( PDQ-39 ) and Schwab & England Daily Living Scale ( Schwab) were used to evaluate both NGD treatment and control group,and within NGD treatment group be-fore and after NGD treatment.Results ( 1) There were significant differences comparing NGD treatment group with control group in ADL,Schwab,PDQ-39 and NMSQuest ( P<0.05) ((27.78±10.54)points,(0.87 ±0.14)points,(26.07±19.18)points,(9.95±4.70)points vs ((34.15±13.88)points,(0.77±0.21)points, (37.47±24.05)points,(13.46±4.01)points,respectively).(2)There were significant differences in UPDRSⅡ,UPDRSⅢ,NMSQuest,ADL,PDQ-39 and Schwab (10.68±7.15)points,(23.79±16.64)points,(33.96± 14.06)points,(0.77±0.21)points,(36.96±24.26)points,(11.96±5.17)points vs ((8.50±6.40)points, (16.79±13.48)points,(27.78±10.54)points,(0.87±0.14)points,(26.07±19.18)points,(9.95±4.70) points,respectively) between before and after treatment in NGD treatment group (P<0.05, P<0.01) .Con-clusion Based on Madopa therapy,the NGD may obviously improves the symptoms,the patient's quality of life and ability of daily life in senile PD patients.Multi-scale evaluations can be used systematically to evalu-ate PD patients,and as assessment indicators for effects of Traditional Chinese drugs.

Objective To survey the working situation of community nurses and care needs of the residents in a prefecture-level city.Method One hundred and thirty-five community nurses and 338 residents were selected and investigated by self-designed questionnaire.Results Community nurses still focused on the area of nursing and treatment rather than prevention,rehabilitation, health care,health education and family planning,which need to be paid more attention to.The needs of residents on community nursing service shift from disease treatment to disease prevention and health promotion.The current community nursing service cannot satisfy residents’care needs.Conclusion Community nurses should provide demand-oriented community care to the residents, strengthen the concept of disease prevention and health promotion,and set up community health centers to be a blend of prevention, health care,rehabilitation,health education and family planning as soon as possible.

Purpose: Drug resistance is one of the main causes of chemotherapy failure in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and extensive biological studies into chemotherapy drug resistance are required. Materials and Methods: In this study, we performed lncRNA microarray, in vitro functional assays, in vivo models and cDNA microarray to evaluate the impact of lncRNA in SCLC chemoresistance. Results: The results showed that KCNQ1OT1 expression was upregulated in SCLC tissues and was a poor prognostic factor for patients with SCLC. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, chemoresistance and promoted apoptosis of SCLC cells. Mechanistic investigation showed that KCNQ1OT1 can activate transforming growth factor-β1 mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in SCLC cells. Conclusion Taken together, our study revealed the role of KCNQ1OT1 in the progression and chemoresistance of SCLC, and suggested KCNQ1OT1 as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in SCLC clinical management.

Objective:To design and evaluate the application value of intracavitary-interstitial brachytherapy (IC-ISBT) applicator template for locally advanced cervical cancer.Methods:MRI data of 100 patients with ⅡB-ⅣA stage cervical cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 staging system) before and after external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) admitted to Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from March 2019 to September 2020 were collected. The range of primary cervical lesions was retrospectively analyzed and compared. Based on the residual mass of patients, the corresponding high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) was delineated, and the IC-ISBT applicator template was designed and initially applied to cervical cancer patients. Dosimetry analysis and efficacy evaluation were compared between the applicator template-guided ( n=37) and free-hand implantation groups ( n=63). Chi-square test or Fisher exact test was performed for categorical variables, and t-test or U-test for continuous variables. Results:The median distance between the residual tumor margin (clockwise 3, 6, 9, 12 o'clock) and the center of 100 patients with ⅡB-ⅣA stage cervical cancer after EBRT was 16.5, 14.0, 17.0 and 13.0 mm, respectively. The corresponding HR-CTV was superimposed to reconstruct the three-dimensional diagram, and the cylindrical IC-ISBT applicator template with mushroom-like head was designed and manufactured: the longest and shortest diameter of the head was 35 and 20 mm, respectively; the central channel was adapted to the uterine tube, the C1-C12 channels was arranged in inner circle, and the peripheral B1-B5 and A1-A4 pin channels were expanded bilaterally. In terms of dose coverage, there was no significant difference between the HR-CTV D 90% [(635.12±22.65) vs. (635.80±25.84) cGy], bladder D 2 cm3 [(473.79±44.78) vs. (463.55±66.43) cGy)], rectum D 2 cm3 [(396.99±73.54) vs. (408.00±73.94) cGy] and sigmoid colon D 2 cm3 [(293.07±152.72) vs. (311.31±135.77) cGy] between the template-guided and free-hand implantation groups (all P>0.05), but the HR-CTV D 98% was significantly higher [(544.78±32.07) vs. (536.78±32.04) cGy, P=0.007] and the rectum D 1 cm3 and D 0.1 cm3 were significantly lower [(438.62±69.65) vs. (453.97±67.89) cGy, P=0.016; (519.46±70.67) vs. (543.82±81.24) cGy, P=0.001] in the template-guided implantation group. In addition, there was no significant difference in the complete response rate between two groups (86% vs. 83%, P>0.05). Conclusions:This IC-ISBT applicator template is reasonably designed, and the therapeutic efficacy of the template-guided implantation is equivalent to that of free-hand implantation. The dose coverage of the target area meets the clinical demand with a better protection of the organs at risk. The applicator template has the potential to be widely used as a conventional template in clinical practice as the applicator-guided implantation is convenient to operate and repeat.
