OBJECTIVE:
To apply single cell sequencing based on multiple annealing and looping amplification cycles (MALBAC) for the determination of the rate and type of mosaicisms of high-quality embryos at cleavage stage.
METHODS:
After thawing and removing of zona pellucida by enzymatic digestion, blastomeres were collected the high-quality embryos donated by couples whom had given birth to healthy offspring by intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer. The whole genome of single cell was amplified and subjected to next generation sequencing.
RESULTS:
From a total of 23 embryos, 184 blastomeres were collected. 175 (95.1%) of the blastomeres were successfully sequenced, of which 100 (57.1%) were found to harbor chromosomal aneuploidies. Among the 23 embryos, 3 (13.0%) were diploid, 20 (87.0%) were mosaicisms, which included 5 (21.7%) aneuploid mosaicisms, 7 (30.4%) diploid-aneuploid mosaicisms, 5 (21.7%) abnormal mosaicisms, and 3 (13.0%) irregular segregations.
CONCLUSION
There is a high rate of chromosomal mosaicisms in high-quality cleavage embryos. Mosaicisms of complex chromosomal abnormality or with high proportion of abnormal cells may be an important factor affecting the potential of embryonic development.

OBJECTIVETo assess the efficacy of prophylactic treatment with recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) on chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia in tumor patients.
METHODSIn this randomized cross-over self-controlled clinical trial, 24 patients with malignant neoplasms were randomized group A (12 cases) and group B (12 cases). All the patients underwent two identical cycles of chemotherapy. In group A, RhTPO (1.0 µg/kg) was administered subcutaneously on a daily basis 3 days before the second chemotherapy cycle for 7 consecutive days, and in group B, RhTPO was administered daily 6-24 h after the second chemotherapy cycle for 7 days. In both groups, RhTPO was not administered in the first chemotherapy cycle, which served as the control cycle.
RESULTSIn both the groups, platelet count was significantly higher in the second cycle than in the control cycle, and the duration of thrombocytopenia was significantly shortened in the second cycle. Compared with group B, the patients in group A showed a significantly higher platelet count in the second cycle and a significantly shorter duration of thrombocytopenia in the second cycle.
CONCLUSIONProphylactic administration of rhTPO can significantly reduce the severity and duration of thrombocytopenia and promote platelet recovery in patients undergoing chemotherapy for malignant tumors.

Objective:To explore whether esketamine (ESK) can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells, and explore the mechanism.Methods:CCK-8 assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of ESK on the proliferation of breast cancer cells. Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect the morphological changes of cells; Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species were detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect apoptosis and pathway expression.Results:CCK-8 experiment results proved that ESK could inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells in a time-dependent manner. The survival rate of MDA-MB-468 cells treated with ESK at 20 μM was (35.47±2.61) %, which was statistically different from that treated with vinorelbine at the same concentration ( P<0.05). The IC50 value of ESK on MDA-MB-468 cells was (14.54±2.12) μM. After treatment with ESK, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly reduced. In the protein level, the expression of Cytochrome C, Bax and Caspase-3 was up-regulated, and the expression of Bcl-2 was down regulated, which induced the mitochondrial dependent apoptosis of MDA-MB-468 cells. ESK could up regulate the level of reactive oxygen species in MDA-MB-468 cells and regulate the expression of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Conclusions:ESK can inhibit the proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells and induce them to play a mitochondrial dependent apoptosis. Its mechanism is achieved by up regulating the level of ROS in breast cancer cells, thereby regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which provides a theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Aln.

Background Civil aviation pilots are actual operators of civil aircraft. Their job operations are directly associated with passenger safety and flight safety. Unsafe aviation operations are related to fatigue caused by poor sleep quality. Recently, with the promotion of China's air transportation business, irregular working hours of civil aviation pilots rise gradually. However, there is still a lack of relevant research on the influence of working conditions on sleep quality in this group. Objective To explore potential impact factors of sleep quality among civil aviation pilots, for the purposes of improving sleep quality and health level of this group and ensuring aviation flight safety by formulating health management suggestions in a targeted manner. Methods All pilots of an aviation company were approached when they visited the Shanghai Hospital of Civil Aviation Administration of China for their health examinations. After informed consent, an online questionnaire survey was conducted. Self-made questionnaires were used to collect information on general conditions, lifestyle, and subjective work stress levels. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. A total of 1204 valid questionnaires were recovered. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software. Results There were 410 pilots (16.8%) who reported sleep disorders, including insufficient sleep time, difficulty falling asleep, and poor sleep quality, and 894 pilots (74.3%) who reported moderate to severe work stress. Associations were identified between sleep quality of pilots and work stress or lifestyle indicators (P<0.05), while work stress showed the strongest association (r=0.28). Further multiple-factor analysis results showed that severe work stress (OR=4.25, 95%CI: 2.89, 6.30) and alcohol use (OR=1.72, 95%CI: 1.31, 2.27) associated with an increased risk of sleep disorders. Regular breakfast (OR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.42, 0.91) and physical exercise (OR=0.68, 95%CI: 0.45, 1.03) associated with a lower risk of sleep disorders. Conclusion A certain degree of sleep disturbance is reported in the civil aviation pilot group, which is closely related to work stress and lifestyle indicators. Targeted measures must be taken to effectively improve the quality of their sleep.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of treating mediate-risk pure ground glass pulmonary nodules (pGGNs) based on the state theory. MethodsA prospective clinical randomized controlled trial was used. Totally 141 cases of mediate-risk pGGNs were divided into treatment group (92 cases) and control group (49 cases) according to the random table method. The treatment group was given the basic Sanjie Formula (基础散结方) orally with modification according to the identification of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) state, 1 dose per day, 3 months as a course of treatment.Three months after the treatment patients were checked by CT. Patients who were clinically judged as cure, moderate to low risk, and turned to surgical resection do not carry out a second course of treatment,and the rest of the patients continued to complete the second courses. Patients in the control group did not receive any treatment and were only followed up periodically. Patients in both groups received a CT review 3 months and 6 months after enrolled. Comprehensive curative effect was evaluated according to the reduction rate of the area of pulmonary nodules shown in chest CT, to further explore the clinical effective difference for patients at different TCM state; the risk of malignancy index (Mayo score) was calculated by Mayo model at enrollment and 3 months and 6 months after enrolled. Adverse events were monitored continuously during the study. ResultsDuring the follow-up, 8 cases in the treatment group and 7 cases in the control group were lost. A total of 126 cases completed the whole process, including 84 cases in the treatment group and 42 cases in the control group. The total effective rates at 3 months and 6 months of the treatment group were 46.15% (30/65) and 45.71% (32/70) in the treatment group, while the total effective rates at 3 months and 6 months in the control group were 12.5% (4/32) and 10.00% (4/40). Compared with the control group, the comprehensive curative effect of 3 months and 6 months of enrollment in treatment group was significantly better than that in corresponding control group (P<0.01). The pulmonary nodule area and Mayo score in the treatment group decreased after 3 and 6 months of enrollment (P<0.01). In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in nodule area between pre- and post-enrollment time points in the control group (P>0.05), and probability of Mayo risk increased in the control group after 6 months of enrollment compared to pre-enrollment (P<0.05). Among the 84 patients in the treatment group, there were 15 cases of qi deficiency state, 7 cases of yin deficiency state, 5 cases of yang deficiency state, 20 cases of qi depression state, 32 cases of damp-heat state, and 5 cases of harmonious state; the difference in the distribution of the total clinical effective rate of the patients with different TCM states after treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the total effective rate of two-by-two comparison of qi depression state was higher (13/20,65.00%) than that of the total effective rate of damp-heat state (8/32,25.00%, P<0.00833). There were no significant changes in blood routine, urine routine, liver function and kidney function in both groups, and no adverse events occurred. ConclusionTreating mediate-risk pGGNs based on the state theory can effectively reduce the area of pulmonary nodules and inhibit the growth of malignant risk of pulmonary nodules.

Background Long working hours (LWH) and shift work are harmful to the physical and mental health of occupational groups. Objective To understand the status quo of LWH and shift work of migrant workers in Shanghai, and to analyze the influence of the above two factors on sleep of the population. Methods From July to September 2018, a cross-sectional survey using questionnaires was conducted among 3215 in-service employees at seven workplaces with more than 300 employees in six selected districts of Shanghai using multi-stage random sampling method. A total of 2976 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 92.6%. The questionnaires included general demographic characteristics, personal health behavior, work-related factors, weekly working hours, shift work, and sleep. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the relationships of LWH and shift work with sleep, and an interaction item was included to evaluate potential interaction between LWH and shift work. Result The average age of the subjects was (30.98±9.49) years old, the male to female ratio was 1∶1.20, and 2382 workers were reported without local residency (80.0%). Among the migrant workers, the average weekly working hours was (57.23±13.14) h, the proportions of LWH (weekly working hours>40 h), extra LWH (weekly working hours>55 h), and shift work were 80.6% (1919/2382), 60.3% (1436/2382), and 25.4% (600/2366), respectively, all above were significantly higher than those of local workers. The prevalence rates of insomnia and lack of sleep among the migrant workers were 46.3% (1091/2356) and 25.4% (597/2354), respectively. The results of logistic regression model showed that after adjusting demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education level, and monthly income, as well as occupation and personal health behavior, compared with working hours ≤40 h per week, working 55-60 h per week was a risk factor for insomnia of migrant workers (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.02-1.72), while working >60 h per week was a risk factor for both insomnia (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.05-1.78) and insufficient sleep (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.28-2.35) of migrant workers. Shift work was only associated with insomnia (OR=1.37, 95%CI: 1.11-1.69). Meanwhile, working hours>60 h per week and shift work had an interaction effect on insomnia of migrant workers (OR=2.35, 95%CI: 1.20-4.60). Conclusion LWH and shift work are prominent among migrant workers, and there is an interaction between LWH and shift work with insomnia.

Background The community is the main place for people's daily activities. A livable environment will improve the subjective well-being of residents. Objective To understand the current status of subjective well-being of residents in Pudong, Shanghai, and explore the impact of community environmental factors on residents' subjective well-being. Methods Using quota sampling, 6000 permanent residents from 12 sub-districts or towns in Pudong, Shanghai were selected to participate in an questionnaire survey. The questionnaire included three parts: participants' basic information, community environmental factors (neighborhood aesthetics, fitness environment, public service and security, natural environment), and subjective well-being. Using a multiple regression model, the influence of community environmental factors on the subjective well-being of residents was analyzed. Results A total of 5887 questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 98.1%. The subjective well-being score of the survey respondents was (7.03±1.61) points. There was no statistical difference in the subjective well-being score of study subjects of different gender and marital status groups; while those with different ages, education levels, occupations, and self-evaluated economic status showed statistical differences in their subjective well-being score (P<0.05). The multiple logistic regression analysis results showed that after controlling general demographic characteristics, with the low level as the control group (according predetermined cut-off values of 33.3% and 66.7%, the community environmental factors were divided into high-, medium-, and low-level groups), the OR values of subjective well-being of the high- and medium-level neighborhood aesthetics groups were 1.393 (95%CI: 1.173-1.654) and 1.235 (95%CI: 1.080-1.412); the OR values of the high- and medium-level fitness environment groups were 2.297 (95%CI: 1.929-2.734) and 1.349 (95%CI: 1.166-1.560); the OR values of the high- and medium-level public service and security groups were 1.101 (95%CI: 0.943-1.285) and 1.039 (95%CI: 0.905-1.193); the OR values of the high- and medium-level natural environment groups were 4.248 (95%CI: 3.321-5.434) and 1.652 (95%CI: 1.374-1.986), respectively. Conclusion Community environment factors could affect residents' subjective well-being, and good neighborhood aesthetics, fitness environment, natural environment have positive effects.
