Methods Hotelling T2 test and multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA)were used to analyze nurse job burnout datum. Results There was statistical significance between different cities,different ethnieities in the personal achievements,hut from three dimensions of the whole job burnout,there are no statistical sig-nificant differences among different cities, different ethnicities and different ages. Conclusions The use of Hotelling T2 test and multivariate analysis of variance to analyzing nurse job burnout data, not only ob-tain overall conclusion, and further use of single-variable analysis may also gain comparative results of each dimensions.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the practical and health economical values of non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) in Changsha Municipal Public Welfare Program. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was carried out on 149 165 women undergoing NIPT test from April 9, 2018 to December 31, 2019. For pregnant women with high risks, invasive prenatal diagnosis and follow-up of pregnancy outcome were conducted. The cost-benefit of NIPT for Down syndrome was analyzed. RESULTS: NIPT was carried out for 149 165 pregnant women and succeeded in 148 749 cases (99.72%), for which outcome were available in 148 538 (99.86%). 90% of pregnant women from the region accepted the screening with NIPT. 415 (0.27%) were diagnosed as high risk. Among these, 381 (91.81%) accepted amniocentesis, which led to the diagnosis of 212 cases of trisomy 21 (PPV=85.14%), 41 cases with trisomy 18 (PPV=48.81%) and 10 cases with trisomy 13 (PPV=20.83%). The sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for trisomy 21, trisomy 18 and trisomy 13 were (97.70%, 99.98%), (97.62%, 9.97%) and (100%, 99.97%), respectively. In addition, 213 and 30 cases were diagnosed with sex chromosomal aneuploidies (PPV=46.2%) and other autosomal anomalies (PPV=16.57%), respectively. For Down syndrome screening, the cost and benefit of the project was 120.79 million yuan and 1,056.95 million yuan, respectively. The cost-benefit ratio was 1: 8.75, and safety index was 0.0035. CONCLUSION NIPT is a highly accurate screening test for trisomy 21, which was followed by trisomy 18 and sex chromosomal aneuploidies, while it was less accurate for other autosomal aneuploidies. The application of NIPT screening has a high health economical value.

Objective:To investigate the effect of a tankyrase inhibitor NVP-TNKS656 on the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)cell lines and the involved molecular mechanisms.Methods:Five HCC cell lines were treated with 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 μmol/L of NVP-TNKS656.The cell lines of HLE and HLF were selected and divided into four groups: 0.0 μmol/L(control or DMSO), 2.5 μmol/L, 5.0 μmol/L, 10.0 μmol/L of NVP-TNKS656 groups.Cells were cultured for 48 h for subsequent experiments.Crystal violet staining was used to count the number of the newly formed cell clones.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of Yes-associated protein(YAP), angiomotin-like 1(AMOTL1)and AMOTL2.The real-time qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of YAP and its downstream connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)and cysteine-rich 61(Cyr61). Dual luciferase reporter gene was used to detect the luciferase activity of transcriptional enhancer activator domain(TEAD)family.Results:NVP-TNKS656 inhibited the growth of 5 HCC cell lines in a dose-dependent manner in HLE, HLF, Huh7, MHCC97-H, and MHCC97-L cell lines.There were significant differences in the newly formed cell clone numbers between control(0 μM of NVP-TNKS656)and each of 2.5 μmol/L, 5.0 μmol/L, 10.0 μmol/L of NVP-TNKS656 groups in a dose-dependent manner( F=90.46, 68.58, 191.8, 114.6 and 201.4, all P<0.05). In HLE and HLF cell lines, NVP-TNKS656 significantly reduced the protein level of YAP in a dose-dependent manner and decreased the YAP target gene CTGF(HLE cells: 1.02±0.02, 0.90±0.03, 0.57±0.02, 0.38±0.03, HLF cells: 0.98±0.03, 0.86±0.02, 0.66±0.02, 0.43±0.01)and Cyr61(HLE cells: 1.00±0.01, 0.86±0.02, 0.74±0.03, 0.44±0.03 and HLF cells: 0.99± 0.02, 0.87±0.01, 0.72±0.02, 0.54±0.01)( P<0.05), and inhibited the activity of YAP/TEAD luciferase.At the same time, NVP-TNKS656 up-regulated two major negative regulators of YAP, namely AMOTL1 and AMOTL2 proteins, and promoted the apoptosis of HLE and HLF cells in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:NVP-TNKS656 can inhibit the proliferation of HCC by stabilizing AMOTL1/ AMOTL2 and down-regulating the YAP target gene.This study indicates that NVP-TNKS656 can be used as a potential drug for treating HCC.

Objective·To explore the association between high myopia and life quality among children.Methods·Cross-sectional study method was adopted in this study.Highly myopic children aged 4-10 from 16 districts in Shanghai were enrolled through Shanghai Child and Adolescent Large-scale Eye Study-High Myopia Registration Study.Baseline data for spherical equivalent after cycloplegia and questionnaire data in 2020 were collected.Emmetropic children aged 4-10 from 16 kindergartens and elementary schools in Jing'an District and Pudong New Area were enrolled.The uncorrected visual acuity,corrected visual acuity and spherical equivalent without cycloplegia were measured through myopia screening in schools,and the questionnaire on quality of life was filled out.Quality of life was measured by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire(SDQ)and EuroQol Five Dimensions Questionnaire Visual Analogue Scale(EQ-VAS).After describing and testing the differences in variable distributions between the highly myopic children group and the emmetropic children group,the differences in life quality between the two groups,and the association between spherical equivalent and life quality scores of the highly myopic children were examined by a linear regression model.Results·A total of 193 children with high myopia and 209 children with emmetropia were enrolled.There were statistically significant differences in age[(9.58±0.94)years vs(7.63±1.50)years,P＜0.001]and gender distribution(46.6％males vs 62.7％males,P=0.00l)between the highly myopic children and emmetropic children.After adjusting for age and gender,it was found that there was no statistically significant difference in SDQ score between the highly myopic children and emmetropic children(β=0.313,95％CI-0.723-1.349,P=0.553),but the EQ-VAS score in the highly myopic children was lower than that in the emmetropic children(β=-3.805,95％CI-6.593--1.017,P=0.008).There was no significant relationship between spherical equivalent and SDQ score(β=0.297,95％CI-0.035-0.628,P=0.079)and EQ-VAS score(β=0.579,95％CI-0.330-1.489,P=0.21 1)in the highly myopic children.Conclusion·In children with high myopia,self-evaluated overall health status reflected by EQ-VAS score is poorer compared with that in children with emmetropia.However,the EQ-VAS score is not associated with the degree of high myopia.

Objective: To investigate the difference of clinical characteristics of recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) in patients with losses after spontaneous gestation and after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer ( IVFET) ． Methods : 237 patients diagnosed with RSA were divided into spontaneous gestation group ( n = 185) and IVF group (n = 52) according to their previous modes of fertilization．The clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed. Results: Compared with the spontaneous gestation group，the age of the first pregnancy and the age at the time of RSA in the IVF group were statistically greater than those in the natural pregnancy group ( P < 0. 05 ) ．The number of biochemical pregnancies in IVF group was statistically higher than that in spontaneous gestation group，and the number of spontaneous abortions in IVF group was statistically lower than that in spontaneous gestation group (P＜0. 001) ．The proportion of patients with irregular menstruation in IVF group was statistically higher than that in spontaneous gestation group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) ． The serum activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) ，R , K，high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ，thyrotropin (TSH) and homocysteine ( HCY) in IVF group were statistically lower than those in spontaneous gestation group，and the Angel，Ma，low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and body mass index (BMI) in IVF group were statistically higher than those in spontaneous gestation group (P＜0. 05) ．In the comparison of etiological composition between the two groups，the proportion of anatomical factors in IVF group was statistically higher than that in spontaneous gestation group (P < 0. 05) ． Conclusion The abortion risk factors in RSA patients after IVF-ET is more serious than that in RSA patients after natural pregnancy．It is suggested to further improve and implement the pre-pregnancy examination and education of infertile patients during IVF-ET treatment，so as to reduce the risk of RSA and obtain a better pregnancy outcome.
