Objective To investigate the effect of metformin ( MET) on learning and memory behavior in HFD-induced insulin-resistant rats.Methods Thirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into three groups to receive either a normal diet (Control group) or a high-fat diet (two HFD groups) for four weeks(HFD+MET).From two HFD groups, one received vehicle ( HFD group ) alone and other MET administration ( HFD+MET group ) .MET was dissolved in drinking water at a concentration of 2 mg/ml.All rats were subjected to the glucose tolerance test ( GTT) and behavioral tests using the elevated plus maze ( EPM ) , open field test ( OFT ) , Morris water maze ( MWM ) test and the step-through passive avoidance test ( PA) after four-week consecutive MET treatment .Blood samples were collected for determination of glucose. Results MET attenuated the glucose resistant condition and improved cognitive behavior in MWM and PA, vs the HFD group. Conclusion MET can improve the impaired learning and memory behavior in HFD-induced insulin-resistant rats.

Objective To discuss influence and curative effect observation of sodium hyaluronate on serum matrix metalloproteinase-9,12 and 13 (MMP-9, 12 and 13) levels of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Selected 70 cases of patients with knee OA, and divided into observation group (n=35 cases) and control group (n=35 cases) in accordance at random. The patients in two groups were given oral 75 mg diclofenac sodium enteric capsules , once a day for 5 weeks. The patients in observation group were additionally given 2 mL sodium hyaluronate , injected into in-tra-articular, once a week, for 5 weeks. Excepted for sodium hyaluronate injection fluid, the patients in control group were given the same medical treatment as that in observation group. The changes of serum MMP-9 , 12 and 13 levels between the two groups before and after medical treatment were observed , and the clinical curative effect and untoward effect was compared as well. Results After 5 weeks’ treatment, the serum MMP-9, 12 and 13 levels of patients in two groups were declined more significantly than before with different degrees (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the declining rate of patients in observation group was much higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The clinical good and excellent rate with in observation group(85.71%) was much higher than that in control group (62.86%)(χ2=4.79,P<0.05). 9 and 11 cases of untoward effect were appeared between control group and observation group respectively with light symp-tom, and after comparing the occurrence rates of untoward effect of patients in two groups, with no statistical differ-ences (χ2=0.28,P>0.05). Conclusion Sodium hyaluronate has favorable curative effect on patients with knee OA, whose mechanism of action has close effect on reducing serum MMP-9 ,12 and 13 levels.

Objective:To translate the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) into Chinese and test its reliability and validity.Methods:After obtaining authorization from the original author, we carried out translation, back translation and cross-cultural adaptation based on the Brislin principle, and formed the Chinese version of the SSCRS. From April to June 2019, we conducted the questionnaire survey among 189 nurses at a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Shiyan by convenience sampling to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of SSCRS.Results:The Chinese version of SSCRS had 17 items. Exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 4 common factors, with a cumulative contribution rate of 62.83%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the entire scale was 0.840, the split-half reliability was 0.842, and the test-retest reliability was 0.860. The scale-level content validity index of all items was 0.91, and the item-level content validity index of each item ranged from 0.81 to 1.00.Conclusions:The Chinese version of SSCRS has a good reliability and validity, which can be used as an effective tool to evaluate nurses' cognition of spirituality and spiritual care in China.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical phenotype of a Chinese pedigree affected with hereditary dentinogenesis imperfecta and mutation of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) gene.

METHODSAffected members underwent intraoral photography, dental film and panoramic radiography. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral venous blood samples. Coding regions of the DSPP gene were subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing. Functional effect of the mutation was predicted with SIFT and PolyPhen-2. The tertiary structure of wild type and mutant proteins were predicted by Swiss-Port.

RESULTSA heterozygous c.50C to T (p.P17L) mutation was identified in exon 2 of the DSPP gene in the proband and her father. The same mutation was not found among 200 unrelated healthy controls. The Pro-17 residues and its surrounding positions in DSPP are highly conserved across various species. The mutation was predicted to be damaging to the structure of DSPP protein.

CONCLUSIONThe c.50C to T (p.P17L) mutation of the DSPP gene probably underlies the disease in this pedigree. Above finding has expanded the spectrum of DSPP gene mutations and provided a basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this family.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for asparaginase-associated pancreatitis (AAP) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after treatment with pegaspargase and evaluate the predictive value of pediatric sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, pediatric acute pancreatitis severity (PAPS) score, Ranson′s score and pediatric Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan (JPN) score for severe AAP.Methods:Cross-sectional study.The clinical data of 328 children with ALL who received pegaspargase treatment in the Department of Pediatric Hematology, Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University from January 2014 to August 2021, as well as their clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, and imaging examinations were collected.The SOFA score at the time of AAP diagnosis, PAPS score and Ranson′s score at 48 hours after AAP diagnosis, and JPN score at 72 hours after AAP diagnosis were calculated, and their predictive value for severe AAP was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 6.7%(22/328) of children had AAP, with the median age of 6.62 years.AAP most commonly occurred in the induced remission phase (16/22, 72.7%). Three AAP children were re-exposed to asparaginase, and 2 of them developed a second AAP.Among the 22 AAP children, 16 presented with mild symptoms, and 6 with severe symptoms.The 6 children with severe AAP were all transferred to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). There were no significant differences in gender, white blood cell count at first diagnosis, immunophenotype, risk stratification, and single dose of pegaspargase between the AAP and non-AAP groups.The age at diagnosis of ALL in the AAP group was significantly higher than that in the non-AAP group ( t=2.385, P=0.018). The number of overweight or obese children in the AAP group was also higher than that in the non-AAP group ( χ2=4.507, P=0.034). The areas under the ROC curve of children′s JPN score, SOFA score, Ranson′s score, and PAPS score in predicting severe AAP were 0.919, 0.844, 0.731, and 0.606, respectively.The JPN score ( t=4.174, P=0.001) and the SOFA score ( t=3.181, P=0.005) showed statistically significant differences between mild and severe AAP. Conclusions:AAP is a serious complication in the treatment of ALL with combined pegaspargase and chemotherapy.Older age and overweight or obesity may be the risk factors for AAP.Pediatric JPN and SOFA scores have predictive value for severe AAP.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and prognoses of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) caused by pegasparaginase (PEG-Asp).Methods:A total of 252 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were treated with PEG-Asp chemotherapy in our hospital from December 2016 to July 2021, including 8 children with CVST. The clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging features, treatments and prognoses of these children with CVST caused by PEG-Asp were analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) CVST occurred during induction chemotherapy in 4 children, during re-induction chemotherapy in 3 children, and during consolidation stage in one child. CVST occurred in two children who received PEG-ASP chemotherapy once, in one child who received PEG-Asp chemotherapy twice, and 5 children who received PEG-Asp chemotherapy more than twice. The median time between CVST occurrence and last treatment of PEG-Asp was 20.5 d. (2) The clinical manifestations included paroxysmal headache ( n=4), nausea or vomiting ( n=3), convulsions ( n=2) and persistent blurred vision ( n=1). (3) CVST appeared at the sigmoid sinus ( n=6), transverse sinus ( n=4) and superior sagittal sinus ( n=4), of which one child was complicated with hemorrhage in left frontal parietal and right parietal cortex, and one with reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome; 8 children were not complicated with thrombus in other parts. (4) Some of the children were complicated with abnormal blood coagulation. When CVST occurred, fibrinogen level decreased in 3 children, anti-thrombin III level decreased in 2 children, and D-dimer level increased in 3 children. (5) Six children were treated with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), of which, 4 were treated with rivasaban and one with warfarin sequentially. The total course of anticoagulation was 56 d. (6) The symptoms of 6 children disappeared after anticoagulation; Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed disappeared thrombus in 4 children and reduced thrombus range in 2 children. One child with intracranial hemorrhage did not use PEG-Asp anymore; 7 accepted PEG-Asp further during follow-up chemotherapy, of which one had CVST recurrence and the range of thrombus was reduced after anticoagulant therapy. Conclusions:When children with ALL develop unexplained neurological symptoms during PEG-Asp chemotherapy, CVST should be highly vigilant. Enhanced MRI and MRV should be performed for early diagnosis. Some children are complicated with abnormal blood coagulation, and LMWH, warfarin and rivasaban are effective. The prognosis is good and there are no sequelae. Most children accepted PEG-Asp again will not have CVST again.

With the development of more and more multi-center and cross-field cooperative medical research,the establishment of high-quality and efficient ethical collaborative review and mutual recognition systems is an inevitable demand for multi-institutional research,and an inevitable move to implement relevant national policies.Based on the work practice of ethical collaborative review and mutual recognition in Shenzhen,by analyzing the practical challenges of ethical collaborative review and mutual recognition in China,this paper proposed that to ensure the homogeneity and efficiency of review.Government departments need to take the lead,establish an ethical review alliance,and clarify responsibilities and rights.Based on actual needs,system first,and effective communication,ethical collaborative review and mutual recognition of results could be jointly promoted,aiming to provide a reference for our counterparts in China to promote ethical collaborative review and mutual recognition of cross-institutional research.

Objective To investigate the composition of symptom clusters in early postoperative breast cancer patients and analyze the sentinel symptoms of each cluster of symptoms.Methods A total of 309 patients who underwent mastectomy were conveniently sampled and surveyed using the Chinese version of the Anderson Symptom Inventory.Principal component analysis and varimax or-thogonal rotation were employed to analyze the symptom clusters,and their associations were analyzed using the Apriori algorithm model to identify the sentinel symptoms of each cluster of symptoms.Re-sults Three symptom clusters were identified in early postoperative breast cancer patients:neuro-sleep symptom cluster[fatigue(weakness)-distress-pain-sleepiness-restless sleep],sensory-perception symptom cluster(numbness-forgetfulness-shortness of breath-sadness-dry mouth),and digestive system symptom cluster(nausea-vomiting-loss of appetite).Fatigue was the sentinel symptom of the neuro-sleep symptom cluster,numbness was the sentinel symptom of the sensory-perception symptom cluster,and nausea was the sentinel symptom of the digestive system symptom cluster.Conclusion Early postoperative breast cancer patients experience multiple symptom clusters,with sentinel symptoms ex-isting in each cluster.Healthcare staff should develop intervention measures based on sentinel symp-toms to improve the efficiency of symptom management and reduce the degree of symptom distress for patients.
