Objective:To measure the hospital culture by using Denison and Schein organizational culture models, hence evaluate hospital culture comprehensively and lay a foundation for improving hospital culture construction.Methods:In October 2019, two kinds of organizational culture models were used to measure the culture of a hospital. Denison organizational culture model was used to measure hospital culture with cultural measurement scale in all staff, and Schein organizational culture model was used from the surface layer, middle layer and core layer by inference and description, based on information consulting, field visiting, personal interviewing, group interviewing and expert discussing.Results:The case hospital culture was externally focused and flexible. There was consistency and conflict between the surface culture and the middle culture, so the deep hypothesis could be inferred and described, and the core culture was presented.Conclusions:The two organizational culture models measure the profile and details of hospital culture from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and each has its own characteristics and application scenarios.

The clinical data of 4 patients in a pedigree of charcot-marie-tooth disease type 2cc (CMT2cc) caused by the NEFH gene mutation from the Department of Rehabilitation, Tianjin Children′s Hospital in March 2020 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.The purpose of this study was to improve clinicians′ awareness of the di-sease.The pedigree had signs and symptoms of varying degrees of pyramidal fasciculus involvement, high arched feet, and achilles tendon contracture.The electrophysiological testing of both lower extremities suggested sensory and motor nerve axonal damage, and an abnormal visual evoked potential was observed.Second-generation sequencing revealed that the pathogenic factor was the NEFH gene variation: c.1319G>A (p.Ser440Asn), which is a new mutation site that has never been reported before. NEFH mutations can cause a complex clinical phenotype of CMT2cc, which is therefore easily misdiagnosed.Central and peripheral nerves are simultaneously involved in CMT2cc patients.Electrophysiological testing and genetic analysis are required to clarify the diagnosis of CMT2cc.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the clinical phenotype and genetic basis of a child with Alazami syndrome (AS).
METHODS:
A child who presented at Tianjin Children's Hospital on June 13, 2021 was selected as the study subject. The child was subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES), and candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.
RESULTS:
WES revealed that the child has harbored two frameshifting variants of the LARP7 gene, namely c.429_430delAG (p.Arg143Serfs*17) and c.1056_1057delCT (p.Leu353Glufs*7), which were verified by Sanger sequencing to be respectively inherited from his father and mother.
CONCLUSION
The compound heterozygous variants of the LARP7 gene probably underlay the pathogenesis in this child.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and pathogenic mutation of gene NUDT2 in the child with intellectual disability with or without peripheral neuropathy (IDDPN). Methods:The clinical characteristics and development of one child attending the Department of Rehabilitation of Tianjin Children's Hospital were evaluated retrospectively,and the relationship between the clinical phenotype and gene mutation profile of NUDT2 was analyzed. Results:The child had global developmental delay, special appearance, low muscle tone of the limbs, accompanied by peripheral nerve damage in the limbs, and whole exome sequencing found that the child carried a homozygous mutation of NUDT2 gene, c.34C>T (p.R12X), which was a nonsense mutation. Sanger verified that both parents were carriers of c.34C>T heterozygous mutations. In the inclusion of 10 registered IDDPN patients, it was found that all of them were homozygous mutations, and the clinical phenotypes all had different degrees of cognitive impairment and movement disorders, among which only 3 cases were complicated by peripheral nerve damage. Conclusions:The child in this case had low birth weight/length, weak sucking ability in infancy, cognitive impairment, peripheral nerve damage, and genetic testing showed homozygous nonsense mutation of NUDT2 gene, which provided evidence support for the clinical understanding of the disease.

Objective To evaluate the impact of poor sleep quality on occurrence of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)in trauma patients.Methods We prospectively recruited 256 trauma patients hospitalized in 4 general hospitals in Zunyi during the period from October,2021 to November,2022,and 226 of the participants completed the PTSD survey and assessment.The patients'sleep quality within a month before trauma was estimated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),and their sleep quality within 7 days after admission was monitored by smart bracelet sleep monitoring;the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version(PCL-C)was used to detect the occurrence of PTSD during the follow-up.Results The detection rate of PTSD in the patients was 19.47%at 1 month and 17.61%at 3 months after trauma.The patients who developed PTSD had poorer sleep quality before the trauma,as shown by significantly higher PSQI scale scores(P<0.001),than those without PTSD,and they showed a sleep abnormality rate as high as 72.73%prior to PTSD onset.Within 7 days after admission,the patients developing PTSD had lower sleep quality scores with more frequent night awakenings(P<0.05).A 1 month and 3 months after trauma,the patients with PTSD had significantly higher PSQI scores than those without PTSD(P<0.05).Conclusion PTSD is more likely to occur in trauma patients with poor sleep quality before trauma.
