OBJECTIVETo evaluate the orthopedic effect of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM) devices on the palatal deformities in unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCCLP) patients.
METHODSThree groups with 19 patients each were studied. All samples in groups A and B were non-syndromic UCCLP children. Group A was treated with PNAM prior to operation. Group B was untreated prior to operation. Samples in group C were normally developed nose and lip palate infants aged three months. The orthotopic palate photos before and after PNAM treatment for group A, as well as pre-operative photos of groups B and group C, were taken and measured. All statistics were analyzed using SPSS 21.0.
RESULTSPNAM treatment significantly increased the AW, AC, and PA of UCCLP patients (P < 0.05), whereas CPW, CWA, CWAS, CWAH, PMD, and CA significantly decreased (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed with the cases in group C (P < 0.05). The AW, CPW, CA, and PA of the patients in group B significantly increased compared with the cases in group A before PNAM treatment (P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis of variance indicated that TW had no statistically significant difference among the three groups (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONPNAM treatment is a non-surgical early treatment for the effective improvement of palatal primary deformities in UCCLP patients.

Objective To identify human gastric cancer related genes. Methods Specimens of paired tumor, paratumor and normal gastric mucosa tissues were collected from five patients (male 3, female 2, with average age 48.8±18.1 years) who suffered from stomach antrum adenocarcinoma. Total RNA samples were extracted from these specimens, then studied by fluorescent differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) analysis. The differentially expressed bands of interest were recovered, purified and cloned, then they were analyzed by sequencing, Northern blot and RT-PCR. Through BLAST, the sequencing results were compared with GenBank database for homology analysis.Results One of the interesting cDNA bands expressed much lower in all five tested tumor samples than in their normal and paratumor counterparts. This band was named W4. Northern blot analysis showed a consistent result with that of DDRT-PCR. W4 was cloned into pGEM-T easy vector. Sequence analysis showed that W4 consists of 712bp, this sequence was named W44.BLAST analysis revealed that W44 has extremely low sequence identity with any genes from GenBank and any sequences from EST database. This sequence data was submitted to GenBank with accession No. AF150631. RT-PCR analysis showed that W4 was expressed much lower in 11/15 gastric cancer tissue than in paratumor and normal samples. Conclusion A novel cDNA sequence related to human stomach adenocarcinoma was identified.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of nursing-related research design types, implementation organizations, funding sources and research fields by analyzing the characteristics of nursing-related trials registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) .Methods:We searched the nursing-related clinical trials registered in the ChiCTR database, and the search time was from the establishment of the database to May 25, 2020. The characteristics of registered nursing related trials were analyzed.Results:A total of 319 nursing-related trials were obtained, of which 268 trials were registered as pre-registration and 51 trials were supplementary registration. The number of trial registrations in Shanghai, Guangdong, Sichuan, Jiangsu and Beijing were greater than or equal to 25. The main source of funding was college funds, followed by local finance, self-financing and national finance. Among the registered trials, 239 (74.92%) were randomized controlled trials, and 27 were multi-center clinical trials, and 53 trials used the blind method, and 277 trials passed the review of the ethics committee. Research fields were widely distributed, mainly tumors, strokes and diabetes.Conclusions:The number of nursing-related trials registered in ChiCTR is increasing, but there are regional imbalances in the distribution of research, and the low proportion of funding from high-level funds. Relevant personnel are needed to improve the level of nursing research from many aspects such as nursing education, nursing management, research registration management and funding support.
