Objective To explore the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy with respiratory distress type Ⅰ (SMARD1). Method The clinical data, results of gene detection, and follow-up information of a girl diagnosed with SMARD1 were retrospectively analyzed, and related literatures were reviewed. Results The girl was born by cesarean section due to oligohydramnios. After birth, she was transferred to neonatology department for poor feeding and response, and diagnosed with neonatal sepsis, infectious shock, disseminated inravascular coagulation and atypical purulent meningitis. She was discharged after one month of treatment. However, at 2 months old, she presented contracture of ankle joint, abnormal liver function, and myocardial damage. At 6 months old, she had obvious reduced muscular tension and development retardation. At 8 months old, the SMA gene was detected and it was normal. At 9 months old, The panel gene of peripheral neuropathy was detected and found 2 heterozygosis mutations in IGHMBP2 gene, exon8 c.1061-2A>G and exon12 c.1708C>T, which came from her father and mother respectively. Locus of exon12 c.1708C>T has been reported to be associated with the disease, and the other is a shear mutation. The diagnosis of SMARD1 was confirmed by the clinical and gene detection. The girl, 2-year-old now, suffered with recurrent respiratory tract infections, but had no respiratory distress or no respiratory failure yet. Conclusion The clinical phenotype of SMARD1 is complex and diverse. This case is the first domestic case comfirmed by gene detection.

Objective To assess and summary the guideline best evidence on malnutrition risk screening in adult inpatients so as to provide a reference for malnutrition risk screening of adult inpatients. MethodsGuidelines on malnutrition risk screening in adult inpatients were systematically retrieved in nutrition association official website, guideline website and database and were screened. All of the guidelines were assessed by 4 trained researchers with the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREEⅡ). Guidelines with level C were excluded, and guidelines with level A and B were selected to extract, translate and summary the recommendations. ResultsA total of 213 guidelines were retrieved and 140 were selected after eliminating repetitive guidelines. Finally, 13 guidelines were included after eliminating 128 guidelines by reading titles and abstracts. AGREE Ⅱ evaluation results showed that there were 3 guidelines with level A and 10 guidelines with level B. Analysis and summary showed that a total of 16 items of 3 classes best evidence on malnutrition risk screening in adult inpatients were selected including screening qualification, population, time and tools. ConclusionsIn this study, guidelines best evidence on malnutrition risk screening in adult inpatients provides a credible reference for clinical practice. Population with high risk of malnutrition should be assessed in comprehensive nutrition and should be treated in nutritional department when necessary.

In the orthodontics process, intervention and sliding of an orthodontic bracket during the orthodontic process can arise large response of the labio-cheek soft tissue. Soft tissue damage and ulcers frequently happen at the early stage of orthodontic treatment. In the field of orthodontic medicine, qualitative analysis is always carried out through statistics of clinical cases, while quantitative explanation of bio-mechanical mechanism is lacking. For this purpose, finite element analysis of a three-dimensional labio-cheek-bracket-tooth model is conducted to quantify the bracket-induced mechanical response of the labio-cheek soft tissue, which involves complex coupling of contact nonlinearity, material nonlinearity and geometric nonlinearity. Firstly, based on the biological composition characteristics of labio-cheek, a second-order Ogden model is optimally selected to describe the adipose-like material of the labio-cheek soft tissue. Secondly, according to the characteristics of oral activity, a two-stage simulation model of bracket intervention and orthogonal sliding is established, and the key contact parameters are optimally set. Finally, the two-level analysis method of overall model and submodel is used to achieve efficient solution of high-precision strains in submodels based on the displacement boundary obtained from the overall model calculation. Calculation results with four typical tooth morphologies during orthodontic treatment show that: ① the maximum strain of soft tissue is distributed along the sharp edges of the bracket, consistent with the clinically observed profile of soft tissue deformation; ② the maximum strain of soft tissue is reduced as the teeth align, consistent with the clinical manifestation of common damage and ulcers at the beginning of orthodontic treatment and reduced patient discomfort at the end of treatment. The method in this paper can provide reference for relevant quantitative analysis studies in the field of orthodontic medical treatment at home and abroad, and further benefit to the product development analysis of new orthodontic devices.
