The improvement of women and children health,along with the growth in health needs,brings forth new challenges to maternal and children health care institutions.The dual demands of quantity and quality in maternal and children health services compel the institutions to improve capabilities under the current conditions,and more importantly,to further clarify the functional orientation which is the key issue for its development.This article is based on the analysis of the historical development and current situation of the maternal and children health care institutions,which sets up the functional orientation according with the rules and characteristics of maternal and children health services.The paper proposed a series of suggestions on its development,such as the health service admission system,appropriate staffing standards and the institution-construction standards.

The cDNA fragment of JEV prME gene was cloned into the baculovirus shuttle vector (bacmid) to construct a recombinant baculovirus vector, defined as AcBac-prME. Then the recombinant baculovirus Ac-prME was obtained by transfecting Sf9 cells with AcBac-prME. Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence results indicated that both prM and E proteins were efficiently expressed in Sf9 cells. Electron microscopy suggested that prME was assembled into JEV-VLPs. To further evaluate the potential of JEV-VLPs as vaccine, the mice were immunized with JEV-VLPs and then challenged with lethal JEV. The results of mice survival and pathological changes demonstrated that the JEV-VLPs performed complete protection against JEV-P3 strain and relieved pathological changes in the mice brain significant. This study suggest that JEV-VLPs would be a potential vaccine for Japanese encephalitis virus.

OBJECTIVE: To separate and identify chemical components in ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction from Tripterygium wilfordii, and to provider basis for further pharmacological study. METHODS: The ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction from T. wilfordii were separated and purified by MCI GEL-CHP 20P column chromatography, C18 RP silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography and HPLC. The structures of compounds were analyzed and identified by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and physicochemical properties. RESULTS: Two compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of T. wilfordii, namely orthosphenic acid (compound 1), dibutylphthalate (compound 2). Eight glucosides were isolated from water extract of T. wilfordii, namely 2,6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (compound 3), 2,6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenol-1-O-β-D-glucoside(compound 4), 4-hydroxy-1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-phenyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (compound 5), 3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (compound 6),β-adenosine (compound 7), ligustrin (compound 8), epicatechin-8-C-β-D-galactoside (compound 9) and 2-hydroxynaringenin-7-O-β-glucoside (compound 10). CONCLUSIONS: Chemical components of ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction are separated and identified from T. wilfordii.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous nursing intervention on limb function and nursing quality after proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Methods From February, 2017 to November, 2018, 100 elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who underwent PFNA internal fixation in our hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 50) and observation group (n = 50), who accepted routine nursing and continuous nursing respectively for three months. They were assessed with Harris score and visual analogue scale for pain (VAS) before and after the intervention. The postoperative nursing effect was compared. Results The Harris score increased in both groups after the intervention (t > 45.98, P < 0.001), and increased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 15.03, P < 0.001). The VAS score decreased in both groups after the intervention (t > 16.33, P < 0.001), and decreased more in the observation group than in the control group (t = 9.749, P < 0.001). The effect of nursing was better in the observation group than in the control group (Z = -2.272, P = 0.023). Conclusion Continuous nursing intervention can significantly improve the limb function and nursing satisfaction of elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture after PFNA.

ObjectiveTo predict whether antiviral therapy is required in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and an age of ≤30 years by establishing a noninvasive model, and to investigate the diagnostic value of this model. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 175 patients with chronic HBV infection who were admitted to Shenzhen Third People’s Hospital from January 2017 to January 2023 and met the inclusion criteria, and according to the results of liver biopsy, they were divided into treatment group with 41 patients (with indications for antiviral therapy) and observation group with 134 patients (without indications for antiviral therapy). The two groups were analyzed in terms of the indicators including clinical data, imaging examinations, and serum biochemical parameters. The univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the parameters affecting the indication for antiviral therapy, and different models for predicting the need for antiviral therapy were constructed based on related parameters. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to compare the diagnostic value of different models. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous variables between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous variables between groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsThere were significant differences between the treatment group and the observation group in alanine aminotransferase, ferritin, total cholesterol (CHOL), triglyceride, platelet count, liver stiffness measured by sound touch elastography (STE), and procollagen III N-terminal propeptide (PIIIP) (all P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CHOL (odds ratio [OR]=0.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.2 — 1.0), STE (OR=1.5, 95%CI: 1.0 — 2.1), and PIIIP (OR=1.1, 95%CI: 1.0 — 1.1) were independent predictive factors for the indications for antiviral therapy. Model 1 (STE+PIIIP+CHOL), model 2 (STE+PIIIP), model 3 (STE+CHOL), model 4 (PIIIP+CHOL) had an area under the ROC curve of 0.908, 0.848, 0.725, and 0.725, respectively, while STE, PIIIP, and CHOL used alone had an AUC of 0.836, 0.725, and 0.634, respectively, suggesting that model 1 had the largest AUC, with a specificity of 77.34% and a sensitivity of 96.36%, and had a significant difference compared with STE, PIIIP, CHOL, and the models 2, 3, and 4 (Z=0.21, 3.08, 3.06, 3.23, 0.89, and 0.88, all P<0.05). ConclusionThe noninvasive model established based on CHOL, STE, and PIIIP has a good value in predicting the need for antiviral therapy in patients with chronic HBV infection and an age of ≤30 years.
