Objective To investigate the effects of health education on diet and behaviors in stegmonth. Methods Three hundred and forty three primiparas were divided into the experiment and control group.The 163 primiparas in the experiment group took the courses in the pregnant women’s school and 180 primiparas in the control group did not.The differences of diet and daily behaviors in stegmonth were compared between the two groups.Results There were statistically significant differences in the rate of diet,health behaviors,breast feeding between the two groups(P<0.01).Conclusion The health education for the pregnant woman can enhance their sense of self care,change their wrong behaviors,and improve the rate of breast feeding.

Objective To explore the clinical features of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy lactic acidosis and strokelike episodes (MELAS) syndrome in fratemal twins brothers.Methods The clinical data,the results of laboratory examinations,electroencephalogram (EEG),imaging,and gene detection,and the process of diagnosis and treatment were retrospectively analyzed the fraternal twin brothers with MELAS syndrome.Results The proband,a 7-year-old male,had intermittent headaches,vomit and twitching at onset.He suffered from exercise intolerance,fatigue,accompanied by short stature and hairy.The fasting blood lactic acid level was increased.Multiple video EEG showed the slowdown of background activity.Head MRI showed recurrent lesions with the characteristics of migration and variation.The point mutation rate of mtDNA A3243G was 34.7％.The diagnosis of MELAS was confirmed.At the same time,his fraternal twin brother was screened and found that his point mutation rate of A3243G was 30.0％.Although there was no clinical symptom at that time,he was onset with convulsion after 3 years.Conclusions Gene detection and family screening are helpful for the early diagnosis of MELAS.The mutation rate of A3243G is very high,which can cause an early onset and serious clinical symptoms.

Objective]To discuss the effect of sciatic nerve injury on the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α), interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-10(IL-10)in anterior cingulate cortex(ACC),and further to explain their roles resided in the development of neuropathic pain.[Method]With use of the methods of behavioral test,western blot and immunohistochemistry, we examine the effects of spared sciatic nerve injury(SNI)on the expressions of TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-10 in ACC,and observe the effect of the neutralizing antibody of TNF-α,IL-1β on the rat mechanical allodynia.[Result]In present experiment ,SNI increased the protein levels of TNF-α,IL-10,but not IL-1β in ACC. Increased TNF-α-IR and IL-10-IR in ACC is located in neurons ,but not astrocytes and microglia at 7 d following L5-VRT. Pre-treatment with anti-TNFα antibody but not anti-IL-1βantibody into ACC significantly increased the rat paw withdrawal threshold to von Frey hairs.[Conclusion]These data suggested that the increased TNF-αin ACC neurons might be responsible for the development of neuropathic pain.

Two hundred cases of early pregnant women to receiveartificial abortion were randomly divided into 4groups,viz.analgesic solution,dicaine,normal saline,and blank control groups of which the action on dilata-tion of uterus and of mitigating the comprehensive re-actions to artificval abortion were observed.Resultsrevealed that the analgesic solution and dicaine groupshad better effect on dilatation of uterus and ameliorat-ing the reactions of artificial abortion,analgesic solu-tion was especially good at mitigating the comprehen-sive reactions to artificial abortion than the dicainegroup.

Objective To understand the risk factors of neurogenic pulmonary edema in the patients with severe hand foot and mouth disease(HFMD). Methods According to neurogenic pulmonary edema or not ,79 patients with severe HFMD were divided into two groups. The difference was analyzed on the clinical symptoms, signs,the outcomes of laboratory and electroencephalogram (EEG) examination between the two groups. Then the risk factors of neurogenic pulmonary edema was analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results There were significant differences of the EV71 infection rate,high body temperature,myoclonia,limb weakness,the disability of eyeball regulation,tachycardia, hypertension or hypotension, the extension of capillary filling time, leucocytosist, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hyperglycaemia between two groups. However, there were no significant differences of fever, fever time, vomiting, somnolence, convulsion, limb tremor, c-reactive protein and EEG between two groups. Tachycardia, hypertension or hypotension, hyperglycaemia were significant risk factors for neurogenic pulmonary edema by logistic regression analysis. And hyperglycaemia was the most significant prognostic factor(odd ratio 27. 075, P = 0. 000 2). Conclusion Tachycardia, hypertension or hypotension,hyperglycaemia are the significant risk factors for neurogenic pulmonary edema. It is especially important for hyperglycaemia to predict neurogenic pulmonary edema.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree affected with genetic epilepsy with febrile seizures plus (GEFS+). METHODS: Clinical data of the proband and his family members were collected. Following extraction of genomic DNA, the proband was subjected to high-throughput sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing of the proband and other family members. RESULTS: The pedigree, including 6 patients with febrile seizures from 3 generations, was diagnosed with typical GEFS+. Among them, 2 had febrile seizures (FS), 1 had febrile seizures plus (FS+), and 3 had febrile seizures with focal seizures. High-throughput sequencing revealed that the proband has carried a heterozygous missense variant of c.4522T>A (p.Tyr1508Asn) of the SCN1A gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that other five patients and one normal member from the pedigree have also carried the same variant, which yielded a penetrance of 85.7%. CONCLUSION The c.4522T>A (p.Tyr1508Asn) of the SCN1A gene probably underlay the disease in this pedigree. The pattern of inheritance was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance with incomplete penetrance. Above finding has enriched the variant spectrum of the SCN1A gene.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical features and genetic etiology of a child with Multiple congenital malformations-hypotonia-epilepsy syndrome type 3 (MCAHS3) and provide prenatal diagnosis for her parents. METHODS: A female child who had presented at Linyi People's Hospital on 27 July 2022 for recurrent convulsions for over 4 years was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the child were collected. Peripheral blood samples were taken from the child and her parents and subjected for whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. Prenatal diagnosis was carried out on amniotic fluid sample at 18 weeks' gestation. Bioinformatic software was used to analyze the pathogenicity of the protein model for the variant loci. RESULTS: The child was a 4-year-old female with frequent seizures, peculiar facial appearance, hypotonia and severe developmental delay. Genetic analysis revealed that she has harbored compound heterozygous variants of the PIGT gene, namely c.1126del (p.H376Tfs*56) and c.1285G>C (p.E429Q), which were respectively inherited from her mother and father. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, the c.1126del (p.H376Tfs*56) variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PM4), and c.1285G>C (p.E429Q) variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PM2_Supporting+PM3+PM4). Prenatal diagnosis suggested that the fetus also harbored the same compound heterozygous variants, and the pregnancy was terminated with induced labor. CONCLUSION The c.1126del (p.H376Tfs*56) and c.1285G>C (p.E429Q) compound heterozygous variants of the PIGT gene probably underlay the MCAHS3 in this patient, and prenatal diagnosis has prevented birth of further affected child in this family.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of a child with developmental epileptic encephalopathy caused by NR4A2 gene mutation, and to summarize the clinical phenotypes and genotypes to improve the clinician′s understanding of this disease. Methods:The clinical data of a child with developmental epileptic encephalopathy admitted to Linyi People′s Hospital in August 2022 were collected, video electroencephalogram, craniocerebral magnetic resonance imaging and family whole exon sequencing were improved, and the suspected mutation sites were verified by Sanger sequencing. Relevant literature was consulted to summarize the clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics of nervous system diseases caused by NR4A2 gene. Results:It was found that there was a heterozygous missense mutation at the locus c.866G>A (p.A289H) of NR4A2 gene in the child, which was a de novo mutation, and both parents were wild type. According to the American Society of Medical Genetics and Genomics variation classification, it was assessed as a suspected pathogenic variation. Through literature review, there were 16 related cases reported internationally, with clinical phenotypes including mental retardation/mental retardation, language disorders, seizures, muscle tone changes and different psychological and behavioral problems. Conclusions:The NR4A2 gene is not only associated with dopa responsive disorders, but also with neurological development, intellectual impairment, language development delay, and epilepsy. The mutation of NR42A gene c.866G>A (p.A289H) is the genetic cause of the patient, and the detection of this locus expands the NR4A2 gene spectrum. NR4A2 gene is one of the pathogenic genes of developmental epileptic encephalopathy.
