Objective:
To learn the status and influencing factors of development among infants at ages of 0 to 36 months in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide the reference for promoting healthy development of infants.
Methods:
Infants at ages of 0-36 months who underwent physical examination in Child Health Clinic of Xiaoshan District Community Health Service Center were selected in 2022. General data of infants and their mothers were collected through questionnaires, and the development status of infants was screened by Age and Stages Questionnaire (third edition). Factors affecting the development status were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 2 519 infants were investigated, including 1 339 males (53.16%) and 1 180 females (46.84%). There were 608 infants with abnormal development of at least one functional area of communication (CM), gross motor (GM), fine motor (FM), problems solving (CG) and personal-social (PS). The abnormal rate was 24.14%, and the abnormal rates of the above functional areas were 9.77%, 6.59%, 7.98%, 6.39% and 9.33%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender (male, OR=1.563, 95%CI: 1.191-2.052), mother's childbearing age (≥35 years, OR=1.411, 95%CI: 1.001-1.988), mother's educational level (lower than junior college, OR=1.460, 95%CI: 1.116-1.912) were factors affecting abnormal development of CM; preterm birth (OR=2.323, 95%CI: 1.315-4.103) was factors affecting abnormal development of GM; gender (male, OR=1.654, 95%CI: 1.225-2.232) was factors affecting abnormal development of FM; gender (male, OR=1.511, 95%CI: 1.086-2.102) and mode of delivery (cesarean section, OR=1.460, 95%CI: 1.060-2.010) were factors affecting abnormal development of CG; gender (male, OR=1.340, 95%CI: 1.019-1.763) and birth weight (low birth weight, OR=1.985, 95%CI: 1.149-3.432) were factors affecting abnormal development of PS.
Conclusions
The rate of abnormal development among infants at ages of 0 to 36 months in Xiaoshan District is 24.14%. Gender, preterm birth, mode of delivery, birth weight, mother's childbearing age and mother's educational level could affect the development status of infants.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a disease closely associated with metabolic abnormalities and is currently one of the most common chronic liver diseases.Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles involved in a variety of metabolic and bioenergetic pathways in the liver,and they respond to environmental changes in a highly dynamic manner through mitochondrial dynamics.The circadian clock is able to modulate mitochondrial dynamics,making it exhibit rhythmic changes.In case of circadian rhythm disorders,mitochondrial dynamics loses rhythmicity,and mitochondria are unable to respond to changing energy demands in different environments,leading to the development and progression of NAFLD.This article summarizes the important role of circadian clock-controlled mitochondrial dynamics in the etiology of NAFLD.

Objective:To test whether the constructed intervention model of advance care planning (ACP) for patients with advanced cancer can be successfully implemented and the preliminary intervention effect, which provides reference for empirical research.Methods:32 cases of advanced cancer patients and 25 cases of their families at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zhuhai were selected. The patients were subdivided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the experimental group adopted the intervention model of "VIP for future care" on the basis of customary nursing. We measured the main outcome indicators: enrollment rate, consent rate, completion rate and loss of follow-up rate and secondary outcome indicators: decision-making certainty, end-of-life care preference and post-intervention satisfaction of patients and their families, within 1 week and 1 month after intervention.Results:The enrollment rate, consent rate and loss of follow-up rate were 74.6% (206/276), 36.9% (76/151)and 15.6% (5/32), respectively. After intervention, the completion rates of the experimental group and the control group were 16/16 and 15/16 within one week, and 14/16 and 13/16 within one month. All of the family members were conducted during the follow-up period. The intervention mode of "VIP for future care" had a statistically significant difference in decision-making certainty between the two groups of patients ( β=0.63, 95% CI 0.08-1.18, P<0.05), no statistically significant difference in end-of-life care preference between the two groups of patients and their families ( P>0.05), and had a statistically significant difference in "whether to recommend this project to others" between the two groups ( χ2 value was 4.167 , P<0.05). Conclusions:On the premise of sufficient preparation, the "VIP for future care" intervention mode can be successfully implemented in advanced cancer patients in mainland China, can improve the decision-making certainty of patients and the satisfaction of patients and their families, and it is recommended. And should be applied to ACP intervention for patients with advanced cancer.

Objective:To summarize the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and diagnoses basis of adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).Methods:The clinical data of 3 patients with AMN, admitted to our hospital from November 2016 to April 2019, were retrospectively collected. The clinical manifestations, imaging features, and diagnostic process of these patients were analyzed.Results:Three young male patients had onset with gradual aggravation of unilateral or bilateral lower limb insufficiency. MR imaging showed symmetrical abnormal signals in brainstem in 2 patients, and atrophy of thoracic spinal cord in 1 patient. By target region capture sequencing, mutations in the ABCD1 gene were found in all 3 patients; 2 underwent pedigree validation; the remaining one patient and his mother had failed Sanger sequencing validation due to pseudogene interference, and elevated plasma level of very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) was noted in this patient. Conclusions:AMN usually initiates in the adulthood with spastic paraplegia as onset. Symmetrical lesions in brainstem or atrophy of spinal cord can be manifested on MR imaging; some patients may be accompanied by adrenocortical insufficiency. The definite diagnosis mainly depends on genetic screening and determination of VLCFA level in the blood.

Objective:To investigate knowledge, attitude and practice intention of medical students on advance care planning (ACP) and to analyze the relevant influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From April to May 2019, the convenience sampling method was used to select medical students who were interning in 3 medical schools and affiliated hospitals in Guangdong Province as the research objects. General information questionnaire and self-designed ACP Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Intention Questionnaires were uesd to investigate. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to influencing factors. A total of 276 questionnaires were recovered in this survey, of which 274 were valid, the effective response rate was 99.3%.Results:The average accuracy rate of the ACP Knowledge Questionnaire for medical students was 48.75%. The average score of items of the ACP Attitude Questionnaire was (4.00±0.53) . The average score of items of the ACP Practice Intention Questionnaire for medical students was (3.94±0.59) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the attitude toward the major they studied, whether they had the part-time social experience, whether they heard of ACP and whether they received ACP training or courses were influencing factors of ACP knowledge for medical students ( P<0.05) . Whether they had clinical practice and whether they had the treatment experience of patients' death were the influencing factors of ACP attitude of medical students ( P<0.05) . Attitudes towards the major they learned and whether they had any experience in the treatment of patients' death were the influencing factors of ACP practice intention of medical students ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Medical students have a certain acceptance of ACP, but the awareness rate of ACP is generally low. Consideration should be given to improving the relevant education methods and content to prepare for the role adaptation of medical students in future clinical work, improving the humanistic care literacy of medical students and promotion of ACP in the clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have reported inconsistent results with positive,negative,and J-shaped associations between alcohol consumption and the hazard of aortic aneurysm and dissection(AAD).This study aimed to examine the connections between weekly alcohol consumption and the subsequent risk of AAD. METHODS:The UK Biobank study is a population-based cohort study.Weekly alcohol consumption was assessed using self-reported questionnaires and the congenital risk of alcohol consumption was also evaluated using genetic risk score(GRS).Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios(HRs)with 95%confidence intervals(CIs)for the associations between alcohol consumption and AAD.Several sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS:Among the 388,955 participants(mean age:57.1 years,47.4%male),2,895 incident AAD cases were documented during a median follow-up of 12.5 years.Compared with never-drinkers,moderate drinkers(adjusted HR:0.797,95%CI:0.646-0.984,P<0.05)and moderate-heavy drinkers(adjusted HR:0.794,95%CI:0.635-0.992,P<0.05)were significantly associated with a decreased risk of incident AAD.Interaction-based subgroup analysis revealed that the protective effect of moderate drinking was reflected mainly in participants younger than 65 years and women. CONCLUSION:Our findings support a protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on AAD,but are limited to participants younger than 65 years and women.
