Objective To investigate the prevalence and the related factors of female breast disease in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, and to provide a targeted prevention guide for female breast disease. Methods A total of 6310 women were enrolled in this study. In addition to breast ultrasound, mammography and pathology assays were performed. Finally, the prevalence and influencing factors for female breast disease were analyzed. Results The prevalence of breast cancer and the total prevalence of breast diseases was 0.06% and 24.94%, respectively. The prevalence of female breast diseases was significantly correlated to age, educational level, occupa-tion, menstruation, reproductive age and a history of abortion. Logistic regression analysis showed that the occupa-tional type had a significant effect on the prevalence of female breast. Conclusion The prevalence of female breast disease is relatively high in Zhengzhou City, and it is affected by many factors. The targeted surveys and breast dis-ease screening should be conducted, and the secondary prevention of female breast disease should be strengthened.

Objective:To test the effectiveness of electrical stimulation of the median nerve (MNES) for relieving post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and explore the possible mechanism.Methods:Thirty patients with PSCI were randomly divided into a routine treatment group (the control group) and an MNES group, each of 15. Both groups were given routine rehabilitation treatment, including cognitive rehabilitation training, medications and acupuncture. The MNES group additionally received 30 minutes of MNES on their right hands every day, five times a week for six weeks. One electrode was positioned over the median nerve 2cm up from the rasceta of the right wrist. The other was on the muscles of the thenar eminence. Forty seconds of stimulation were applied with intervals of 20 seconds, for 30 min daily. Before and after 3 and 6 weeks of treatment, both groups were evaluated using the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), the modified Barthel index (MBI) and the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA). In another 15 patients oxyhemoglobin levels in the brain before and during the MNES were observed using near-infrared spectroscopy.Results:After 3 weeks of treatment, a significant improvement was observed in the average MMSE, FMA and MBI scores of both groups, and the average MoCA score of the observation group. Three weeks later, the average MMSE, FMA, MBI and MoCA scores of both groups had improved significantly compared with before the treatment, with the average MMSE and MoCA improvements in the MNES group significantly greater than the control group′s averages. After 6 weeks of treatment the significant improvements persisted in both groups. Both group′s average FMA scores had also improved significantly, as had the average MBI score of the control group. After 6 weeks of treatment, the observation group′s average time orientation, location orientation, language instant memory, attention, calculation and short-term memory in MMSE had all improved significantly along with visual space capacity, executive capacity, attention, language, orientation and memory in MoCA. The spectroscopic results showed significantly improved oxyhemoglobin concentration in the bilateral frontal lobes after the MNES.Conclusions:Electrical stimulation of the median nerve can help to improve cognition after a stroke. It increases oxyhemoglobin concentration in the bilateral frontal lobes.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic etiology for a fetus with congenital orofacial cleft.
METHODS:
Single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP array) was carried out on skin tissues sampled from the fetus following induced abortion for the detection of copy number variation (CNVs). Pathogenicity of the candidate gene was validated through experiment.
RESULTS:
SNP array revealed that the fetus has carried a hemizygous 9.23Mb deletion at Xq21.31-q22.1(91 063 807-100 293 555), which was inherited from its mother. The region contained 13 OMIM genes and 1 ncRNA coding gene(MIR548M). Inhibiting of the expression of the MIR548M gene in oral epithelial celllines has resulted in up-regulation of the expression of SUMO1 gene which was known to involve in the pathogenesis of orofacial cleft.
CONCLUSION
Dosage insufficiency of the MIR548M gene may underlie the etiology of orofacial cleft in this fetus.

This article reports a pedigree with two previously deceased neonates. Both neonates did not experience asphyxia but passed away on their 5th and 13th day of life. The chromosomal analysis of the parents' karyotype revealed no abnormalities. Clinical manifestations of the two deceased cases and relevant medical records were recollected. Whole exome sequencing was conducted on the stem blood sample of Neonate 2, revealing a c.729_730insTT homozygous mutation (p.D244Lfs*39) in the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase gene (NM_000255). It was confirmed that Neonate 2 was affected with methylmalonic acidemia. Amniocentesis was performed at 20 +3 weeks in the current pregnancy. Sanger sequencing of amniotic fluid indicated that the fetus carried the same gene mutation as Neonate 2. Consequently, the fetus was expected to be a patient with methylmalonic acidemia and to exhibit the same phenotype as Neonate 2. Termination of pregnancy, therefore, was selected at 24 weeks of gestation.
