Objective:To explore the effects of nursing intervention with pregnant body mass management combined with role -based health education on stage of labor, pelvic floor function recovery, psychological status changes, maternal and neonatal outcomes in primiparas. Methods:From March 2019 on, pregnant body mass management combined with role -based health education nursing was implemented in the hospital. On basis of the theory, nursing regimens of pregnant body mass management combined with role-based health education we formulated. During the period from August 2018 to February 2019, 120 primiparas who underwent delivery in the hospital were randomly enrolled as control group. During the period from August 2019 to February 2020, 120 primiparas were randomly enrolled as observation group. The duration of labor stages, postpartum pelvic muscle strength, scores of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and delivery outcomes were compared between the two groups. Results:After nursing, the cesarean section rate was 20.83% (25/120) in observation group and 32.50% (39/120) in control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2 value was 4.176, P<0.05). The spending time of ending the first, second and third stage of labor was (517.27±8.95), (48.33±5.62), (10.26±1.63) min in observation group and (537.31±7.92), (57.29±5.58), (18.28±1.61) min in control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( t values were 18.369, 12.393, 38.347, P<0.001). After nursing, normal rate of pelvic floor muscle strength was 68.33% (82/120) in observation group and 54.17% (65/120) in control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2 value was 5.074, P<0.05). After nursing, scores of HAMD and HAMA were (4.43±1.02), (5.56±0.87) points in observation group and (6.09±1.15), (6.88±0.93) points in control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( t values were 11.830, 11.354, P<0.05). After nursing, adverse outcome rates of primiparas and neonates were 3.33% (4/120) and 5.83% (7/120) in observation group, and 10.00% (12/120), 15.83% (19/120) in control group, there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2 values were 4.286, 6.211, P<0.05). Conclusions:Pregnant body mass management combined with role-based health education nursing is conducive to shortening labor stages of primiparas, improving postpartum pelvic floor muscle strength and adverse emotions, and thus reducing the occurrence of maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a child featuring global developmental disorder with epilepsy.
METHODS:
A child who had presented at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center in July 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data was collected. Potential variant was detected by whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was validated by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis.
RESULTS:
The child, a three-year-old ethnic Zhuang Chinese girl, had presented with global developmental disorder and epilepsy, for which rehabilitation therapy was ineffective. Genetic testing revealed that she has harbored a homozygous c.821T>C (p.Leu274Pro) missense variant of the PIGW gene, for which both of her parents and sister were heterozygous carriers. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was classified as variant of uncertain significance.
CONCLUSION
The homozygous c.821T>C (p.Leu274Pro) variant of the PIGW gene probably underlay the onset of disease in this child. Above finding has enriched the mutational spectrum of the PIGW gene.
