Abstract: Objective To establish a screening-diagnosis-evaluation system of neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD) suitable for Hainan Province based on the application of percutaneous blood oxygen saturation measurement and cardiac auscultation screening, and to provide a basis for further promotion of the evaluation effect. Methods Screening agencies (all midwifery institutions) used the "double index method" to screen newborns for congenital heart disease. Those who were screened positive for any index were transferred to diagnostic institutions (the people's hospitals of all cities and counties and some tertiary hospitals) for echocardiography examination within 1 week. Those with abnormal results were transferred to the treatment institution (two tertiary hospitals) for reconfirmation and evaluation. All data were managed online. Results In this study, 96 913 newborns born in midwifery institutions in 19 cities and counties were screened, with a response rate of 99.44%. The ratio of male infants (50 836) to female infants (46 077) was 1.10∶1. A total of 2 284 positive patients were screened by dual index method, and ultrasound diagnosis was performed, with the rate of cardiac ultrasonography of 98.07% (2 240/2 284) and a high response rate. A total of 238 cases of congenital heart disease were diagnosed (incidence rate of 0.25%), with the top three main types were ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. The sensitivity (88.24%) and Youden index (0.86) of dual-indicator screening for CHD detection were significantly higher than the other separate indicators. Through Kappa consistency test analysis, the consistency of dual-indicator screening with simple heart murmur screening results was excellent, with a Kappa coefficient value of 0.835 (>0.75); the consistency of dual-indicator screening and simple POX screening results was good, with a Kappa coefficient value of 0.429 (between 0.40-0.75), and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.001). By the end of the study, 136 children had undergone open-chest/occlusion surgery, with good postoperative recovery, and the rest were followed up. Conclusions The neonatal CHD screening-diagnosis-assessment technology system established in this study, with close connections between various blocks, high screening response rate and echocardiography examination rate, is beneficial for the early diagnosis and treatment of CHD children, and has certain application value in institutions at all levels in Hainan Province, and is worth further promotion.

Objective:To explore the effect of case-based learning (CBL) guided by ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) in rehabilitation practice teaching.Methods:Fifty-eight rehabilitation undergraduates who had practiced in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine in The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from February 2019 to December 2019 were randomized into observation group and control group. The observation group adopted ICF-guided CBL method for practice teaching, while the control group adopted traditional teaching methods. At the end of the internship, all the students were assessed in terms of their theoretical knowledge, case analysis and clinical practice ability. At the same time, questionnaires were used to conduct a satisfaction survey on the teaching method, and the results of the two groups were compared and analyzed by ttest and rank-sum test through SPSS 25.0. Results:The scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05) . In the satisfaction survey, the observation group was superior to the traditional teaching method in terms of self-thinking ability and learning initiative, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). Conclusion:ICF-guided CBL method can strengthen students' independent thinking ability and learning initiative, and improve the students' clinical comprehensive ability of rehabilitation treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on NLRP3 inflammasome during acute lung injury ( ALI ) induced by blunt chest trauma and hemorrhagic shock-resuscitation in rats. Methods Forty-five SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-220 g, were divided into 3 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), ALI group and dexmedetomidine group ( Dex group) . A rat model of ALI was established by blunt chest trauma and hemorrhagic shock-resuscitation. Dexmedetomidine 5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 was infused into the femoral vein after blunt chest trauma in Dex group. Blood samples were collected from the femoral artery at 6 h after blunt chest trauma for measurement of arterial oxygen partial pressure and concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta ( IL-1β) and IL-18 in serum ( by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ) . The oxygenation index was calculated. The rats were sacrificed and lungs were removed for examination of the pathological changes which were scored and for determination of the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD ( ASC) in lung tissues ( by Western blot) and ac-tivities of lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) and myeloperoxidase ( MPO) in lung tissues ( by colorimetry) . Re-sults Compared with Sham group, PaO2 and oxygenation index were significantly decreased, the expres-sion of NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC was up-regulated, the activities of LDH and MPO were increased, and the concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were increased in ALI group ( P<0. 05 ) . Compared with ALI group, PaO2 and oxygenation index were significantly decreased, the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and ASC was down-regulated, the activities of LDH and MPO were decreased, and the concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum were decreased in ALI group ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can al-leviate blunt chest trauma and hemorrhagic shock-resuscitation induced ALI in rats, and the mechanism is related to inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and reduction of inflammatory response.

Abstract: Objective To evaluate the free thalassaemia screening programme for preconception and pregnancy in Hainan Province, and to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the screening process for thalassaemia. Methods From November 2020 to July 2021, a survey was conducted on 10 396 adults with Hainan household registration who participated in the Epidemiological Survey of Thalassemia in Hainan Residents in 19 cities and counties of Hainan Province. All of them underwent routine blood tests, haemoglobin electrophoresis tests and genetic tests for thalassaemia. The optimal diagnostic cut-off values for mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), and haemoglobin adult type 2 (HbA2) were determined using screening test indexes such as receiver operating characteristic curve and sensitivity. The diagnostic effectiveness of different primary screening programs for thalassemia gene carriers was evaluated. Results Using the existing MCV single-indicator thalassemia primary screening protocol in Hainan Province, where individuals with MCV<82 fL undergo thalassemia gene testing, resulted in a high missed diagnosis rate (34.06%) and low sensitivity (65.94%). The optimal cut-off values for MCV screening for alpha-and beta-thalassaemia were 84.45 fL and 79.05 fL, respectively; the optimal cut-off values for MCH screening for alpha-and beta-thalassaemia were 27.95 pg and 25.15 pg, respectively. The optimal cut-off value for HbA2 screening for alpha-thalassaemia was less than 2.55% and greater than 3.35% for beta-thalassaemia. The "combined HbA2 or MCH or MCV screening protocol" with the cut-off values recommended in this study had a better performance in primary screening for thalassemia, with the highest sensitivity (92.96%) and negative predictive value (92.67%) and the lowest underdiagnosis rate (7.04%), statistically significant differences compared with the existing protocol (P<0.05). Conclusions The current process of screening for thalassemia in Hainan Province may lead to missed diagnoses. The combined use of MCV, MCH and HbA2 for thalassemia screening, adopting locally suitable cutoff values for primary screening indicators, can improve the incidence of missed reporting of thalassemia and enhance diagnostic effectiveness.

Pediatric cough is a heterogeneous condition in terms of symptoms and the underlying disease mechanisms. Symptom phenotypes hold complicated interactions between each other to form an intricate network structure. This study aims to investigate whether the network structure of pediatric cough symptoms is associated with the prognosis and outcome of patients. A total of 384 cases were derived from the electronic medical records of a highly experienced traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) physician. The data were divided into two groups according to the therapeutic effect, namely, an invalid group (group A with 40 cases of poor efficacy) and a valid group (group B with 344 cases of good efficacy). Several well-established analysis methods, namely, statistical test, correlation analysis, and complex network analysis, were used to analyze the data. This study reports that symptom networks of patients with pediatric cough are related to the effectiveness of treatment: a dense network of symptoms is associated with great difficulty in treatment. Interventions with the most different symptoms in the symptom network may have improved therapeutic effects.
