OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the clinical treatment outcomes and the changes of the outcomes over time in extremely preterm twins in Guangdong Province, China.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed for 269 pairs of extremely preterm twins with a gestational age of <28 weeks who were admitted to the department of neonatology in 26 grade A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province from January 2008 to December 2017. According to the admission time, they were divided into two groups: 2008-2012 and 2013-2017. Besides, each pair of twins was divided into the heavier infant and the lighter infant subgroups according to birth weight. The perinatal data of mothers and hospitalization data of neonates were collected. The survival rate of twins and the incidence rate of complications were compared between the 2008-2012 and 2013-2017 groups.
RESULTS:
Compared with the 2008-2012 group, the 2013-2017 group (both the heavier infant and lighter infant subgroups) had lower incidence rates of severe asphyxia and smaller head circumference at birth (P<0.05). The mortality rates of both of the twins, the heavier infant of the twins, and the lighter infant of the twins were lower in the 2013-2017 group compared with the 2008-2012 group (P<0.05). Compared with the 2008-2012 group, the 2013-2017 group (both the heavier infant and lighter infant subgroups) had lower incidence rates of pulmonary hemorrhage, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (P-IVH), and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) and a higher incidence rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
There is a significant increase in the survival rate over time in extremely preterm twins with a gestational age of <28 weeks in the 26 grade A tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province. The incidences of severe asphyxia, pulmonary hemorrhage, PDA, P-IVH, and NRDS decrease in both the heavier and lighter infants of the twins, but the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia increases. With the improvement of diagnosis and treatment, the multidisciplinary collaboration between different fields of fetal medicine including prenatal diagnosis, obstetrics, and neonatology is needed in the future to jointly develop management strategies for twin pregnancy.

Objective To analyze the overall functioning of children with learning disabilities, and develop individualized exercise rehabilitation protocol using International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Methods Based on the theoretical framework of ICF and the disease diagnosis of International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), and with the perspective of child development, the functional profiles of cognition, understanding, attention, thinking, motor, and activity and participation of children with learning disabilities were analyzed. A function-oriented and individulized exercise rehabilitation protocol for children with learning disabilities was constructed in light of ICF bio-psycho-social health paradignm and the theory of somatic and mental interaction. Results The functional performance of children with learning disabilities mainly demonstrated in mental dysfunction in physical functioning in the activities and participation limitations, such as learning and applying knowledge, general tasks and demands, and communication. For the environment factors, products and technology for education, products and technology for culture, recreation and sports, and services, systems and policies could also affect children with learning disabilities. Physical activity was beneficial for children with learning disabilities to improve mental and motor functioning and to effectively enhance intellectual, cognitive, attentional, communication, and mobility skills for the overall development of the children. Physical activity for children with learning disabilities was selected according to WHO guidelines for physical activity and sedentary behavior for children, and moderate to vigorous physical activity for at least 60 minutes, as well as high-intensity training no less than three times a week, together with appropriate physical games and leisure physical activities could effectively improve learning outcomes and reduce learning disabilities. Conclusion The health condition, functioning and motor development of children with learning disability had been analyzed using ICD-11 and ICF, and with the theories of somatic and metal interaction and ICF bio-psycho-social model, the holistic and function-oriented exercise rehabilitation program was developed that recommended at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity, including aerobic exercise and physical games, per day, and at least three times a week of high intensity physical activity of no less than 30 minutes, including plyometrics and physical competition. The development of individualized function-based exercise rehabilitation programs incorporating the learning disability and motor function characteristics of children could effectively improve the cognitive, attentional, and thinking functions of children with learning disabilities, reduce learning disabilities, and promote the overall development of children.

To analyze the efficacy and safety of Shensong Yangxin Capsules in treatment of bradycardia combined with premature beat. Databases, such as CNKI, VIP, WanFang, SinoMed, PubMed, Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials were retrieved by computers for relevant randomized controlled trials of Shensong Yangxin Capsules in treatment of bradycardia combined with premature beat. Two researchers independently screened out the literatures, extracted data according to the inclusion criteria, and applied the Risk of Bias assessment tool in assessing the methodological quality. The Cochrane systematic evaluation software RevMan 5.3 was used for data analysis. Totally 9 randomized controlled trials including 706 subjects were included. The intervention measure was the single administration with Shensong Yangxin Capsules, and the control measure was the blank control. The results showed that Shensong Yangxin Capsules had an obvious effect on average heart rate(MD=6.59, 95%CI[3.87, 9.31], I~2=90%), premature beat efficacy(RR=1.72, 95%CI[1.53, 1.93], I~2=0%), heart rate efficacy(RR=1.74, 95%CI[1.40, 2.17], I~2=47%), and objective efficacy(RR=1.50, 95%CI[1.31, 1.70], I~2=31%). Eight studies reported safety events, with no significant adverse reaction. In conclusion, the single administration with Shensong Yangxin Capsules may have a certain effect in improving heart rate, controlling premature beats and alleviating clinical symptoms in patients with bradycardia combined with premature beat, with no obvious adverse reaction. Shensong Yangxin Capsules can be used in clinic. This potential conclusion needs to be confirmed in future trials using rigorous methodology.

With the continuous improvement of modern medical technology, medical practice has become more and more procedural. The medical process is often dominated by doctors, while the value orientation of patients is often ignored, lacking effective communication between doctors and patients. In response to this phenomenon, Charon R proposed the concept of narrative medicine, which has been recognized by all walks of life. In recent years, the value of medical humanism has attracted more attention, and the research on narrative medicine at home and abroad is increasing gradually. But at present, most of the research on narrative medicine is in terms of theory, lacking clinical research. How to make narrative medicine applied in the real world is the focus of current research. Following the concept of narrative medicine, and taking the study on doctor-patient parallel medical record to evaluate the real clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and Western medicine(WM) in the treatment of digestive diseases as an example, this study is to explore the design contents and key points of the clinical trial scheme of doctor-patient co-construction of TCM and WM under narrative medicine, and discuss the activity form and clinical efficacy evaluation method under narrative medicine. Clinical trial design includes four aspects: medicine, ethics, statistics and trial management. This study explored the design of the doctor-patient co-construction clinical trial scheme under narrative medicine from both theoretical and practical aspects, providing reference for the design and research of future doctor-patient co-construction scheme, and expecting to establish a better efficacy evaluation method of TCM and WM.

【Objective】To investigate the expression of FosB in invasive breast cancer and its correlation to the ultrasound findings and clinical significance.【Methods】Immunohistochemical and ultrasound examination were performed for 155 cases with invasive breast cancer,36 cases with paracancerous tissue and 30 cases with normal breast tissue. To investigate the correlations between the different expression of FosB with histological grade ,lymph nodes,and ultrasound findings.【Results】①The expression of FosB in paracancerous tissue and normal breast tissue was higher than that in invasive breast cancer(P<0.01). ②Based on immunohistochemical staining,high positive expression rate of FosB was associated with low histological grade,ER positive and PR positive(P<0.05). There was no correlation between FosB and age,tumor diameter,lymph nodes,Her2 and clinical stages(P>0.05)③The expression of FosB was higher in microcalcification positive and lymph nodes bigger tissues(P<0.05). There was no correlation between FosB and tumor size, regular shape,boundary,posterior attenuation ratio and blood flow(P>0.05).【Conclusion】The expression of FosB in invasive breast cancer was lower than that in paracancerous tissue and normal breast tissue. The different expression of FosB was correlated with histological grade,ER positive and PR positive. To study the expression of FosB in invasive breast cancer may be helpful for differential diagnosis and targeted treatment. The different expression of FosB was correlated with microcalcification,lymph nodes,and combined FosB with ultrasound findings may contribute to prognostic evaluation of breast cancer.

To systemically analyze the efficacy and safety of Babaodan Capsules in treatment of viral hepatitis. Databases such as CNKI,Wan Fang Date,VIP,Sino Med,PubMed,and Cochrane Library were electronically searched for relevant randomized controlled trials about Babaodan Capsules in the treatment of viral hepatitis,from database establishment to November 11,2018. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted data according to the inclusion criteria. GRADE system was used to evaluate evidence quality,and we used the Cochrane Rev Man 5. 3 software for Meta-analysis. Six randomized controlled trials including 520 subjects were included. Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment were used as intervention measures,and the conventional treatment was used as the control measures. The results showed Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment had better efficacy on reducing the total bilirubin( MD =-16. 25,95% CI[-19. 86,-12. 63]),alanine aminotransferase( MD =-26. 62,95% CI[-41. 18,-12. 06]),total bile acid( MD=-46. 02,95%CI[-49. 18,-42. 85]) and improving clinical efficiency( RR = 1. 34,95%CI[1. 13,1. 59]) than conventional treatment alone. In addition,Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment can delay the progression of liver fibrosis to some extent. Qualitative analysis showed that the combined treatment regimen was more effective in relieving clinical symptoms. There was no significant difference between the two regimens in increasing albumin and prothrombin activity. Babaodan Capsules combined with conventional treatment showed no adverse reactions. In summary,for patients with viral hepatitis,the combination of Babaodan Capsules and conventional treatment has more advantages in reducing total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase and total bile acid and is more effective in improving clinical symptoms as compared with conventional Western medicine,with no serious adverse reactions. Its clinical application with syndrome differentiation method can be considered. However,due to the limited number and quality of the original researches,more multi-center,high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed for further verification.

Objective To evaluate the effect of damped least-square algorithm on the identification of focal bidirectional electrical impedance perturbation in the intracranial area, and to analyze the influence of this kind of perturbation on the reconstruction quality of electrical impedance tomography. Methods Focal bidirectional electrical impedance perturbation was built based on the three-dimensional model and damped least-square algorithm was introduced into imaging. The position error and resolution were used to evaluate the imaging performance.Results When the focal electrical impedance perturbation existed,the target whose conductivity varied greatly or volume was large was more likely to be identified in the images while the target with smaller volume or variable conductivity presented in the reconstruction image was not obvious. It's pointed out that it may cause reconstruction images in some cases could not truly reflect the location and change information of the object of primary cerebral hemorrhage.At the same time,it affected the reconstruction precision,causing the position error and resolution with large fluctuation. Conclusion In reconstruction algorithm linearity correct matrix introduced for bidirectional electrical impedance perturbation contributes to enhancing the recognition of bidirectional perturbation, so that the characterization of the electrical impedance imaging can be augmented for clinical intracerebral hemorrhage.
