Objective To explore whether Helq deletion affect the pluripotency of stem cells. Methods Helq knockout embryonic stem cells were obtained by CRISPR?Cas9 gene editing technique. Results The results of immunoflu?orescence analysis showed that the expression of Oct4 and Nanog had no obvious difference to that of the control cells. The Helq-/ - embryonic stem cells could produce viable pups by tetraploid complementation, indicating that their pluripotency was not affected. Meanwhile, we found that day 2 epiblast?like cells also were obtained through differentiation of the Helq-/ - embryonic stem cells in vitro. Immunostaining and real?time PCR analysis showed that the gene expression of Helq-/ - epiblast cells were similar to the wild type cells. Conclusions Taken together, it is proved that the genomic in?stability caused by Helq deletion does not affect the pluripotency of pluripotent stem cells.

Objective To explore the effects of rhubarb navel therapy on fecal continence in rectal cancer patients with colostomy.Methods 60 patients with colostomy were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 30 patients in each group.Patients in the control group received routine therapy and health education whereas the experimental group received 30-day extra rhubarb navel therapy started on the 15th day after the operation.The two groups were compared in postoperative 3 months with the following factors:the functions of colostomy and the formation of bowel regularity.Results The scores of the scale about the functions of permanent abdominal colostomy were improved in both groups.However,the score in the experimental group was much higher than that in the control group.The number of patients forming bowel regularity in the experimental group was more than that in the control group (19 and 4 cases respectively).Conclusions Rhubarb navel therapy is beneficial to rectal cancer patients with colostomy to improve the functions of colostomy and form the bowel regularity.

Objective:To explore the effect of communication competence and psychological resilience on job burnout among Operating Room nurses.Methods:From March to June 2023, randomized clustering sampling was used to select 138 registered Operating Room nurses from four ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Taizhou for investigation. The survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, Operating Room Nurses' Job Stressor Scale, Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Nurses' Clinic Communication Competence Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to explore the effects of communication competence and psychological resilience on job burnout among Operating Room nurses.Results:A total of 138 questionnaires were sent out, and 133 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.38% (133/138). Among 133 Operating Room nurses, the job burnout score was (56.35±9.28), and the communication competence, psychological resilience, and work stress scale scores were (196.71±18.92), (78.09±18.31), and (96.37±22.47), respectively. Pearson correlation showed that job burnout among Operating Room nurses was negatively correlated with psychological resilience ( r=-0.475, P<0.01) and communication competence ( r=-0.241, P<0.01), and positively correlated with work stress ( r=0.360, P<0.01). Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that, after controlling for other variables, psychological resilience and communication competence were the influencing factors of job burnout among Operating Room nurses ( P<0.01), which could explain 17.70% of the variation. Conclusions:The level of job burnout among Operating Room nurses is relatively high, and psychological resilience and communication competence are independent influencing factors. Managers can provide psychological counseling and support services for Operating Room nurses, offer communication competence training programs, and prevent and reduce job burnout among Operating Room nurses.

Objective:To investigate the difference of dose distribution between intensity-modulated photon radiotherapy (IMRT) and intensity-modulated proton radiotherapy (IMPT) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 8 patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer who received radiotherapy in Ion Medical center of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from November 2020 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. IMRT and IMPT radiotherapy plans were created for each patient separately, the main evaluation indicators were targeted area dose distribution parameters [homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI) and the percent volume of volume wrapped by 95% and 100% of prescription dose profile in the targeted area (V 95% and V 100%)], and the average dose (D mean) to the organ at risk and the percent volume of a certain relative biological effect (RBE) dose exposure [D mean, V 5 Gy(RBE) and V 20 Gy(RBE) of ipsilateral lung, D mean, V 5 Gy(RBE) and V 20 Gy(RBE) of bilateral lung, D mean, V 30 Gy(RBE) and V 40 Gy(RBE) of heart, maximum dose (D max) of spinal cord, and D mean of esophageal]. Results:In comparison with IMRT, IMPT reduced the levels of dose parameters in bilateral lung, ipsilateral lung, spinal cord, esophagus, and heart with statistically significant differences (all P < 0.05), especially in D mean of bilateral lung [(4.1±1.8) Gy (RBE) vs. (6.9±1.9) Gy (RBE)], V 5 Gy(RBE) [(15.9±7.1) % vs. (28.5±8.6)%], V 20 Gy(RBE) [(7.4±3.5)% vs. (10.1±3.5)%], and D mean of ipsilateral lung [(9.1±4.5) Gy (RBE) vs. (11.9±3.3) Gy (RBE)], all decreased significantly (all P < 0.001), but the differences in the levels of targeted area dose distribution parameters between them were not statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:For patients with non-small cell lung cancer, IMPT is superior to IMRT in the protection of bilateral lung, ipsilateral lung, spinal cord, esophagus and heart.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of disease-modifying drug nusinersen on children with spinal muscular atrophy.Methods:The baseline and longitudinal clinical data of 15 children who were treated with nusinersen in the Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from October 2019 to October 2021 were retrospectively collected. The general data (gender, age, genotype, and clinical classification, etc.), motor function, nutritional status, scoliosis and respiratory function were analyzed. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparing multi-system conditions before and after treatment.Results:The age of 15 cases (7 males, 8 females) was 6.8 (2.8, 8.3) years, with 2 cases of type 1, 6 cases of type 2, and 7 cases of type 3 respectively, and the course of disease was 55.0 (21.0, 69.0) months. After 9.0 (9.0, 24.0) months of treatment, the motor function scale evaluations of the Hammersmith neurological examination section 2 (13.0 (7.0, 23.0) vs. 18.0 (10.0, 25.0) scores, Z=-2.67, P=0.018) of 15 children, the Hammersmith functional motor scale expanded (38.0 (18.5, 45.5) vs. 42.0 (23.0, 51.0) scores, Z=-2.38, P=0.018), and the revised upper limb module (27.0 (19.5, 32.0) vs. 33.0 (22.5, 35.5) scores, Z=-2.52, P=0.012) of children with type 2 and 3 had significantly improved. Thirteen patients achieved clinically significant motor function improvement, and 2 of them had kept stable scale scores. Subjective reports also indicated that the muscle strength and daily exercise ability of these children improved after treatment, and no serious adverse reactions were reported. Supplemented by the multi-disciplinary team management, the levels of some indicators such as Cobbs angle of scoliosis and forced vital capacity all had significantly improved (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Nusinersen can improve the motor function of patients with 5q spinal muscular atrophy, which is also proved safe to be used in children. The drug treatment supplemented by the multi-disciplinary team management is helpful to improve the multi-system function of the children with spinal muscular atrophy.

Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is the most common thyroid dysfunction, and its relationship with blood pressure (BP) has been controversial. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between SCH and newly-diagnosed hypertension. Methods: Based on data from the Thyroid disease, Iodine nutrition and Diabetes Epidemiology (TIDE) study, 49,433 euthyroid individuals and 7,719 SCH patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled. Patients with a history of hypertension or thyroid disease were excluded. SCH was determined by manufacturer reference range. Overall hypertension and stage 1 and 2 hypertension were diagnosed according to the guidelines issued by the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association in 2017. Results: The prevalence of overall hypertension (48.7%), including stage 1 (28.9%) and 2 (19.8%) hypertension, increased significantly in SCH patients compared with euthyroid subjects. With elevated serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level, the hypertension prevalence also increased significantly from the euthyroid to different SCH subgroups, which was more profound in females or subjects aged <65 years. The age- and sex-specific regression analysis further demonstrated the same trends in the general population and in the 1:1 propensity matched population. Similarly, several BP components (i.e., systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial BP) were positively associated with TSH elevation, and regression analysis also confirmed that all BP components were closely related with SCH in female subjects aged <65 years. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension increases for patients with SCH. SCH tends to be associated with hypertension and BP components in females younger than 65 years.
