OBJECTIVE: To explore the composition of microbial communities in vagina and intestine of the mother,the placenta and the neonatal meconium after cesarean section and to analyze the origin of neonatal intestinal microbiota.METHODS: Samples of intestine,vagina and placenta and neonatal meconium from 4 women who underwent cesarean section in Yan'an Hospital of Kunming City in October 2016 were collected.The high-throughput sequencing technology was used to sequence the 16 S rRNA gene,and the composition of the microbial communities and the relationship among the samples were analyzed.RESULTS: Firstly,comparing the number of OTUs in different samples,it was found that the number in placenta was the highest,followed by the intestine and vagina,and the least was in the neonatal meconium.Secondly,each sample was analyzed by PCA clustering,and it was found that the neonatal meconium was affected least by individual differences but the vagina was affected most.The intestinal and placental microbial communities had certain similarities.Finally,comparing the microbial community composition of each sample,it was found that the highest abundance in the neonatal meconium and placenta was Proteobacteria,and in the intestine and vagina it was the Firmicutes.CONCLUSION: During the caesarean section,maternal microbiota transfer may be from the mother's intestine to the placenta and then to the infant's intestine.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) after surgeries in Yunnan Province. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the demographic features, vascular risk factors, severity at admission, and aneurysm locations in 85 patients with aSAH receiving surgical interventions in Yunnan Province. All the patients were treated by aneurysm clipping or coiling and followed up for clinical outcomes and recovery of daily activities evaluated by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale, respectively. RESULTS: Thirty-four of the patients (40.0%) underwent aneurysm clipping and 51 (60.0%) underwent aneurysm coiling. During a median follow- up period of 66.23 months (IOR, 12.03 months), 84.7% of the patients had low mRS scores, and 78.8% lived independently. The WFNS grade at admission was significantly correlated with the follow-up mRS scores (95%: 1.48-19.09, =0.011) and ADL (95%: 2.55-28.77, < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that age (95%: 1.02-1.23, =0.017; 95%: 1.00-1.15, =0.038) and a high WFNS grade at admission (95%: 2.19-141.48, =0.007; 95%: 2.84-82.61, =0.002) were independent predictors of both mRS and ADL scores at follow-up. There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes or the length of hospital stay between the two treatment strategies ( > 0.05), but the cost of hospitalization was significantly higher in coiling group than in the clipping group ( < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Both aging and a high WFNS grade at admission are associated with a poor prognosis of aSAH, for which aneurysm clipping and coiling have similar long- term outcomes, but for patients with a high WFNS score, aneurysm clipping is favored over coiling in terms of health economics.

Objective:To compare the effects of spinal orthosis and exercise training on psychological status and quality of life in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods:From July, 2017 to Febrary, 2018, 55 AIS patients aged ten to 16 years were enrolled. According to the individual's choice, they were divided into exercise group (n = 25) and orthosis group (n = 30). The Cobb's angle, apex vertebral rotation (AVR), trunk shift (TS) and apex vertebral translocation (AVT) were measured before, three months and six months after intervention. They were also evaluated with Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire-22 (SRS-22) before and six months after intervention. Results:Six months after intervention, the scores of function/activity level, pain, self-image/appearance and treatment satisfaction were better in the exercise group than in the orthosis group (t > 2.137, P < 0.05). Three months and six months after intervention, the Cobb's angles reduced significantly in both groups (t > 4.461, P < 0.001); six months after intervention, the Cobb's angle was smaller in the orthosis group than in the exercise group (t = 2.548, P < 0.05). Three months and six months after intervention, TS, AVR and AVT improved in both groups (t > 2.338, P < 0.05); six months after intervention, they were better in the orthosis group than in the exercise group (t > 2.259, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Single exercise training is effective on AIS patients with Cobb's angle between 25° to 40°, especially for psychological status and the quality of life, however, it isn't as better as orthotics treatment for deformity correction.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the possible mechanism of Yunaconitine poisoning by studying the changes of urine metabolic profile in rats chronically poisoned by Yunaconitine via non-targeted metabolomics. METHODS: A rat model of Yunaconitine poisoning was established, and a metabolomics method based on UPLC-QTOF-MS technology was used to obtain the urine metabolic profile. Principal component analysis (PCA), orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), variable importance in projection (VIP) value greater than 1, fold change (FC) value greater than 3 or less than 0.33 and P value less than 0.05 were used to screen potential biomarkers related to the toxicity of Yunaconitine. The metabolic pathway analysis was performed through the MetaboAnalyst website and pathological changes of related tissues were observed. RESULTS: Sixteen potential biomarkers including L-isoleucine were screened, which mainly involved six metabolic pathways including the biosynthesis and degradation of valine, leucine and isoleucine, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, and propanoate metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, tyrosine metabolism. Pathological studies showed that rat toxic change in nervous system, liver and cardiac caused by Yunaconitine. CONCLUSIONS Yunaconitine may cause neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity by affecting amino acid and glucose metabolism.

Objective To explore the correlation between 4 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms （Tag SNP） sites （rs7721799, rs32897, rs7718461, rs10062367） of corticotropin releasing hormone binding protein （CRHBP） and schizophrenia and aggressive behavior in the Yunnan Han population. Methods Case-control correlation analysis was used to establish a complex amplification system. Improved multiplex ligase detection reaction （iMLDR） technology was used to detect the genotypes of 4 SNP sites of CRHBP gene of 163 Han schizophrenic patients （including 81 patients with aggressive behavior, 82 patients without aggressive behavior） and 345 healthy Han individuals, which were analyzed statistically by SPSS 19.0, Haploview 4.2 and PHASE 2.1 software. Results There was no correlation between the 3 SNP sites of CRHBP gene and the onset of schizophrenia except for the rs7718461 site （P>0.05）. The relative risk of aggressive behavior of patients carrying GG or GA genotype at rs7718461 site were 4.903 times higher than those carrying AA genotype （P<0.05）. Conclusion The CRHBP gene may not be associated with the occurrence of schizophrenia in Yunnan Han population, but AA genotype of rs7718461 may reduce the risk of aggressive behavior in schizophrenia patients.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of acupuncture therapy based on "gut-brain axis" on clinical manifestations and gastrointestinal symptoms of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS: A total of 66 children with ASD were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 33 cases in each group. The control group was treated by routine rehabilitation training. On the basis of the control group, the observation group was treated with acupuncture based on "gut-brain axis", and the acupoints were Touwei (ST 8), Shenting (GV 24), Sishencong (EX-HN 1), Tianshu (ST 25), Zhongwan (CV 12), Zusanli (ST 36), etc. Both treatments were given once every other day, 3 times a week, 4 weeks as a course of treatment, consecutively for 3 courses. The scores of autism behavior checklist (ABC), TCM symptoms of gastrointestinal disease and childhood autism rating scale (CARS) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. RESULTS: After treatment, the scores of ABC, CARS and TCM symptoms of gastrointestinal disease in the two groups were lower than before treatment (P<0.05), and those in the observation group were lower than the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 90.9% (30/33), which was higher than 81.8% (27/33) in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION On the basis of routine rehabilitation training, acupuncture therapy based on "gut-brain axis" is effective in treating ASD, which can relieve the clinical manifestations and gastrointestinal symptoms.

OBJECTIVE： To analyze the situation of drug instruction revision and promote the standardization. METHODS： By reviewing the laws and regulations on the management of drug instructions in China， inquiring the official documents of drug instruction revision during Jan. 2015 to May 2019， the types of drugs involved and the revised items were analyzed， and the contents and shortcomings of the drug instructions and their revision process were summarized. RESULTS： A total of 112 revision notices were issued in 5 years （20， 28， 19， 34， 11 revision notices in 2015-2019， respectively）， involving 270 varieties. There were 109 prescription drugs， 161 OTC， 158 Chinese medicines， 105 chemicals， and 2 biological products. The revised items mainly focus on safety information such as precautions， adverse reactions， contraindications， and additional warnings， including 100， 85， 103， 52 items. However， in combination with clinical practice， the author found that there were still some problems， such as non-standard writting drug instructions， lack of supervision on the implementation of the revision， and no notification to the relevant users after the revision， which seriously threatened the safety of drug use. CONCLUSIONS： The included specifications of drug instructions are not well regulated， the implementation of the revised instructions is not doing well， the delineation of rights and obligations is confused， and the legal binding force is not strong. The standardization of drug instructions in China needs further improvement.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between occupational stress response and psychological symptoms of metro-drivers and the mediating role of neurotic personality. METHODS: A total of 396 metro-drivers in a subway operating company were selected as the research subjects using judgment sampling method. Their psychological symptoms, neurotic personality and occupational stress response were evaluated using the Symptom Checklist 90, the Neurotic Subscales of NEO Five-Factor Inventory, and the Personal Strain Questionnaire of Occupational Stress Inventory Revised Edition. RESULTS: The scores of psychological symptoms, neurotic personality and occupational stress response in the metro-drivers were(148.8±42.7),(29.3±6.3) and(104.2±14.2), respectively. The occupational stress of metro-drivers was positively correlated with the psychological symptoms score(correlation coefficient was 0.45, P<0.01), and neurotic personality was positively correlated with occupational stress response and psychological symptoms scores(correlation coefficients were 0.44 and 0.53 respectively, all P<0.01). The occupational stress response of metro-drivers played a direct effect on their psychological symptoms, and the direct effect was 0.825. Neurotic personality played a partial mediating effect between occupational stress response and psychological symptoms, and the mediating effect was 0.537, accounting for 39.4% of the total effect. CONCLUSION: The neurotic personality of metro-drivers plays a partial mediating role between occupational stress response and psychological symptoms.

Objective To investigate the factors that affect the progression of epileptic seizure at the acute phase of encephalitis into postencephalitic epilepsy.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate the clinical data of 141 patients who were admitted to the First People’s Hospital of Yunnan Province and the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2010 to June 2019，diagnosed as autoimmune encephalitis or viral encephalitis in the acute phase with epileptic seizure and treated with immunotherapy. The 141 patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether their epileptic seizure progressed to postencephalitic epilepsy. Logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the factors that affect the progression of epileptic seizure at the acute phase of encephalitis into postencephalitic epilepsy.Results The epileptic seizure of 25 patients（17.73% of all 141 patients） progressed to postencephalitic epilepsy. The results of multi-factor Logistic regression analysis show that the risk factors involved in the progression of epileptic seizure included：a fever before treatment（OR=3.288，95％CI=1.116～9.687，P=0.031） and high seizure frequency（≥10 times/day）（OR=4.564，95％CI=1.263～16.491，P=0.021）. Compared with a course of antiepileptic drugs for less than 6 months，a course of antiepileptic drugs for 6-12 months（OR=0.672，95％CI=0.064～7.024，P=0.740） or above（OR=3.049，95％CI=0.906～10.261，P=0.072） did not affect the development of postencephalitic epilepsy. Compared with the patients with no fever before treatment，those with fever were more prone to disturbance of consciousness（P<0.001），status epilepticus（P=0.023） and a head MRI showing inflammatory lesions（P=0.007）.Conclusion Therefore，a fever before treatment and high seizure frequency（≥10 times/day） are identified as the risk factors causing postencephalitic epilepsy. The length of course of antiepileptic drugs does not affect the incidence of postencephalitic epilepsy，suggesting that it is unnecessary to prevent postencephalitic epilepsy by long-term use of antiepileptic drugs.

OBJECTIVES: To study the effect of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy on peripheral venous blood cell count in preterm infants with a gestational age of 28-34 weeks. METHODS: A total of 227 preterm infants with a gestational age of 28-34 weeks who were admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, the First Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University, from January to December 2020, and whose mothers had hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were enrolled as the study group. A total of 227 preterm infants with a gestational age of 28-34 weeks who were admitted during the same period and whose mothers did not have hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were enrolled as the control group. According to maternal blood pressure during pregnancy, the study group was divided into three subgroups: gestational hypertension (n=75), mild preeclampsia (n=81), and severe preeclampsia (n=71). According to the birth weight of the preterm infants, the study group was divided into two subgroups: small for gestational age (SGA) (n=113) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) (n=114). Peripheral blood cell count on day 1 after birth was compared between the study and control groups, as well as between the subgroups of the study group. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the study group had significantly lower white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, and blood platelet count (P<0.05) and significantly higher incidence rates of leucopenia and neutropenia (P<0.05). The subgroup analysis showed that the mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia subgroups had significantly lower white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, and blood platelet count than the gestational hypertension subgroup (P<0.05), and that the SGA subgroup had significantly lower white blood cell count, absolute neutrophil count, and blood platelet count than the AGA subgroup (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy can affect the peripheral venous blood cell count of preterm infants, which is more significant in infants with maternal preeclampsia and SGA infants.
