Micro RNA has been revealed to be involved in a series of essential biological processing including cell development, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Micro RNA functions as tumor suppressor or tumor promoter, which might be used to measure lung cancer cell amount and to serve as markers of diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer.

Objective To identify the mutations of DNA gyrase gyrA and Topoisomerase Ⅳ parC genes in quinolone-resistant Shigella flexneri clinical isolates and evaluate the relevance of amino acid changes in GyrA and ParC to quinolone resistance. Methods Based on the antimicrobial susceptibility testing, 47 S.flexneri clinical isolates with different quinolone susceptibility were selected and the fragments including the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR) in gyrA and parC were PCR amplified and sequenced. SAS (V 8.2) software was used to analyze the correlation between quinolone resistance and changes in GyrA and ParC. Results Sense mutation(s) in gyrA and parC were commonly observed in all of 44 quinolone-resistant isolates, whereas no sense mutation was found in the 3 quinolone-susceptible ones. The most frequent mutation is at codon 83(TCG→TTG) of gyrA, which was observed in 43 quinolone-resistant isolates. The mixed model analysis indicated that the alterations in amino acid 83 of GyrA and amino acid 80 of ParC are close related to nalidixic acid resistance (P

BackgroundThe occurrence rate of dangerous behaviors in patients with severe mental disorders is higher than that of the general population. In China， there is limited research on the prediction of dangerous behaviors in community-dwelling patients with severe mental disorders， particularly in terms of predicting models using data mining techniques other than traditional methods. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of dangerous behaviors in community-dwelling patients with severe mental disorders and testing whether the classification decision tree model is superior to the Logistic regression model. MethodsA total of 11 484 community-dwelling patients with severe mental disorders who had complete follow-up records from 2013 to 2022 were selected on December 2023. The data were divided into a training set （n=9 186） and a testing set （n=2 298） in an 8∶2 ratio. Logistic regression and classification decision trees were separately used to establish predictive models in the training set. Model discrimination and calibration were evaluated in the testing set. ResultsDuring the follow-up period， 1 115 cases （9.71%） exhibited dangerous behaviors. Logistic regression results showed that urban residence， poverty， guardianship， intellectual disability， history of dangerous behaviors， impaired insight and positive symptoms were risk factors for dangerous behaviors （OR=1.778， 1.459， 2.719， 1.483， 3.890， 1.423， 2.528， 2.124， P<0.01）. Being aged ≥60 years， educated， not requiring prescribed medication and having normal social functioning were protective factors for dangerous behaviors （OR=0.594， 0.824， 0.422， 0.719， P<0.05 or 0.01）. The predictive effect in the testing set showed an area under curve （AUC） of 0.729 （95% CI： 0.692~0.766）， accuracy of 70.97%， sensitivity of 59.71%， and specificity of 72.05%. The classification decision tree results showed that past dangerous situations， positive symptoms， overall social functioning score， economic status， insight， household registration， disability status and age were the influencing factors for dangerous behaviors. The predictive effect in the testing set showed an AUC of 0.721 （95% CI： 0.705~0.737）， accuracy of 68.28%， sensitivity of 64.46%， and specificity of 68.60%. ConclusionThe classification decision tree does not have a greater advantage over the logistic regression model in predicting the risk of dangerous behaviors in patients with severe mental disorders in the community. ［Funded by Chengdu Medical Research Project （number， 2020052）］
