Objective By discussion on the construction of school-community health education network,we can identify suitable community practice ways of improving students' comprehensive ability,enrich community health teams and meet the health demand of community residents.Methods Take Grade 08 and Grade 09 as the test classes.Two classes were selected from each grade,one class was set as the experimental group,the other was named as the control group.The communication skills,critical thinking skills,teamwork skills and the ability of getting the specific knowledge after the community practice for a year were compared between the two groups in each grade separately.At the same time,we assessed the community residents from the following four aspects,knowing about the health information,residents' health beliefs,their change in attitude,their adoption of healthy behaviors,and compared their knowledge of health information about three diseases.Results The results showed that the four mentioned abilities of the experimental groups were significantly improved.The community residents' health information awareness rate after the health education was significantly different compared with that before.There was no significant difference among three other levels.Conclusions Construction of school-community health education network can improve the students' comprehensive quality,it is beneficial to the survival and the development of health schools,and it can meet the needs of community residents,enrich the community health service team,and can also promote the change of teaching ideas.

AIM: To assess the effect of RNAi on suppressing the exogenous reporter gene expression in mammalian neurons,and explore the effect of siRNA quantitation on interference efficiency.METHODS: Exogenous green fluorescent protein(GFP) expression vector was transferred into neuro-2a cells,and then the small interference RNA targeting GFP mRNA(siGFP) synthesized by transcription in vitro at three different concentration was used in this experiment.RESULTS: The results showed that the neuro-2a cells can be transfected efficiently and siGFP can inhibit GFP expression greatly.CONCLUSION: RNAi can be applied into mammalian neurons successfully.The research on siRNA quantitation will provide technique support for studying the gene function of neurons in the future.

Objective To study effects of bivalirudin and heparin plus tirofiban on plasma P-selectin in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and compare the clinical effects on bleeding and thrombosis.Methods 260 hospitalized patients with acute STEMI who accepted emergency PCI were enrolled in the study.They were randomly divided into the bivalirudin group (129 cases) and the heparin plus tirofiban group (131 cases).Blood samples were taken before operation,during operation (about 20 minutes after medicacion injection) and after operation (three hours after the end of operation).Serum P-selectin levels were measured.All patients were followed-up for 30 days.The main events included hemorrhage within 30 days,acquired thrombocytopenia and stent thrombosis.Results The level of P-selectin increased significantly in the heparin group during operation compared to the preoperative level and remained statistically higher at three hours after the end of operation than preoperative level (P < 0.05).Compared with preoperative level,the P-selectin level of the bivalirudin group was significantly lower than that of heparin group (P < 0.05).After 30 days of follow-up,bivalirudin had lower rates bleeding events compared to the heparin group(5.4% vs.15.3%,P =0.009).The need of medical intervention for bleeding events (BRAC2-5 hemorrhage) was less in the bivalirudin group(0.8% vs.5.3%,P =0.029).There was no significant difference in the major bleeding events between the 2 groups (BRAC3-5 hemorrhage) (0 vs.0.8%,P =0.32).No significant difference found between the two groups in acquired thrombocytopenia (P > 0.05).Conclusion Bivalirudin may reduce P-selectin levels in STEMI patients undergone emergency PCI during perioperative period.Heparin increases perioperative P-selectin.Bivalirudin may reduce the bleeding events.

OBJECTIVETo study the characteristics, location, and amino acid changes of novel mutations of the Dystrophin gene.
METHODSTwelve patients in whom no deletion or duplication of the Dystrophin gene was detected were analyzed with next-generation sequencing. Fifty healthy adult males were recruited as the controls.
RESULTSAll patients were detected with mutations of the Dystrophin gene, which included c.33C>G, c.583C>T, c.1333C>T, c.2593C>T, c.5731A>T, c.7288G>T, c.2803+1G>T, c.10034G>A, c.4289A>G, c.1905_906delAG, c.5017delC, c.5768_5771delAAGA, and c.6261_6262insA. No similar mutations were found among the controls.
CONCLUSIONOur data has enriched the mutation spectrum of the Dystrophin gene and may provide an important basis for genetic diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE To provide prenatal diagnosis for families affected with tuberous sclerosis complex and explore the correlation between phenotype and genotype. METHODS For probands from 10 families, all exons and splicing regions of the TSC1 and TSC2 genes were analyzed with high throughput DNA sequencing. Suspected mutations were verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS All probands were found to have mutations, which included 1 case with TSC1 mutation and 9 cases with TSC2 mutations (missense mutations in 6, nonsense mutations in 2, and frameshifting mutation in 1 case). Prenatal diagnosis was provided for 9 cases, and 1 fetus was found to carry a mutation. Genetic analysis has identified a novel pathogenic mutation (TSC2 c.2415-2416 ins GT). CONCLUSION Identification of pathological mutations for tuberous sclerosis complex can facilitate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for the affected families.

OBJECTIVE:
To retrospectively analyze the results of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and parental origins of unbalanced translocations among 17 patients, so as to provide reference for their genetic counseling.
METHODS:
The results of CMA for 7 001 samples tested in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Unbalanced reciprocal translocation was defined as two non-homologous chromosomes with lost and gained segments respectively or both with gained segments, and their parental origins were identified by parental chromosomal karyotyping and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
RESULTS:
In total 17 unbalanced translocations were identified. In three cases, two non-homologous chromosomes both had gained segments, which constituted a derivative chromosome, with the total number of chromosomes being 47. In the remaining 14 cases, there was a terminal deletion on one chromosome and a terminal duplication on the other, 10 of which were confirmed by karyotyping, with the total number of chromosomes being 46. In the derivative chromosome, the lost segment was replaced by a gained segment from another chromosome. Among 15 cases undergoing parental origin analysis, 12 had paternal or maternal chromosomal abnormalities, including 11 balanced translocations and 1 unbalanced translocation. The unbalanced gametes therefore may form through meiosis. In 3 cases, the parental chromosomes were normal, indicating a de novo origin.
CONCLUSION
Discovery of terminal duplication and deletion or gained segments on two non-homologous chromosomes by CMA is suggestive of parental balanced translocation, which can facilitate genetic counseling and assessment the recurrence risk for subsequent pregnancies.

In complete-denture restoration of edentulous jaws, the following information is needed: functional impression of edentulous jaws, jaw relationship and facial fullness, parameters of individual mandibular movement, etc. Traditional clinical methods in obtaining these data, which depend greatly on practitioners' clinical experience and skills, are subjective, complicated and low efficient. With the development of the digital restoration of edentulous jaws, a variety of equipment for three-dimensional scan have been applied in acquiring three-dimensional source data concerning the needed information, which greatly simplifies the process of data obtaining, reduces the dependence on operational skills and subjective experience, improves efficiency and efficacy of diagnosis and treatment, and standardizes the restoration process.
