Objective To evaluate the clinical value of prenatal screening by analyzing the second -trimes-ter maternal serum screening results and prognosis .Methods The second-trimester maternal serum screening in-cluding alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) andβ-human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-HCG) was tested by time-resolu-tion immunofluorescence .2T-Risks software was used to evaluate fetal risk of three kinds of defects , such as trisomy 21, trisomy 18 and neural tube defects (NTD).For those of pregnant women with high -risk screening results, am-niotic fluid, umbilical cord blood karyotype analysis or four -dimensional color Doppler ultrasound scan can be rec-ommended to confirm the diagnosis .Results This research included the analysis of 10 668 cases of pregnant meta-phase prenatal screening results .677 cases were in high-risk, which took up 6.35%.Among those 677 cases, 501 cases had high-risk 21-trisomy Syndrome , and 104 cases had high-risk NTD.72 cases with high-risk 18-tri-somy Syndrome had been found , and the percentage of those cases above were 4.70%, 0.97%and 0.67%, respec-tively.As for the 677 follow-up pregnant women with high risks , the results indicated that during those 356 high-risk women, who had performed prenatal diagnosis , 2 cases of 21-trisomy Syndrome, 3 cases of NTD, and 4 cases of structural abnormalities had been found .In addition , there were 19 cases of spontaneous abortion and stillbirth , as well as 10 cases of other abnormalities .There are 40 abnormal cases in total , which took up an abnormal percentage of 5.91%.In those 9 991 follow-up pregnant women with low risks , there are 57 cases (0.57%) presented abnor-mal, in which had 1 cases with 21-trisomy Syndrome, 2 cases with NTD, 3 cases with deformity, 23 cases of spon-taneous abortion and stillbirth and 28 other abnormal cases .Conclusion The second -trimester maternal serum screening plays an important clinical role in the prediction of abnormal fetus and prevention of birth defects .

Objective To investigate the influence of family nursing intervention on daily life ability of senile dementia patients? Methods Eighty senile dementia patients were equally randomized into two groups: the control group and the observation group? The controls received conventional home nursing instruction and health education and those in the latter group were managed with home nursing intervention? The activity of daily living scale(ADL)was used to assess their daily life ability? Result After nursing intervention,the daily life ability of observation group was better than control group(Z = 18?914,P < 0?05)? Conclusions The family nursing intervention is effective in directing the dementia patients with exercises of daily living ability? Thus it may improve their ability in daily life?

Objective To predict the binding sites of transforming growth factor-βreceptor Ⅱ (TβRⅡ ) ectodomain and the aptamer S58 specifically targeted TβRⅡ ,and to confirm the structure stability of the aptamer S 58 in vitro .Methods We created three-dimensional structure by utilizing ssDNA aptamer sequences ,the crystal structure of the TβRⅡ was searched by protein data bank database .According to the results of the molecular docking experiments on aptamer S 58 and TβRⅡ ectodomain ,we sheared the aptamer sequences ,then verified its affinity respectively by biosensor technology and Western blot .Results Binding sites of aptamers S58 and TRβⅡ ectodomain included site Ⅰ(T4 ,T5 ,G6 ,C7) ,site Ⅱ(G13 ,A14 ,T15 ,C16 ,G17 ,C18 ) ,site Ⅲ (T31 ,G32 , T33 ,C34) and site Ⅳ(G40 ,A41 ,T42 ,T43 ,T44 ,G45 ,G46) .We validated the high affinity between aptamer S58 and TRβⅡ ectodo-main .The expression of α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) protein in the human tenon′s capsule fibroblasts was descended obviously after the experiment of the aptamer S58 in comparing with the control of DMEM (P< 0 .05) .But the new ssDNA by shear the aptamer ssDNA S58 according to the results were poor than aptamers S58 .Conclusion The aptamer S58 targeted TβRⅡ was high-ly specific with a certain stability ,any changing of structure will reduce the affinity of TβRⅡ .Computer-aided molecular docking technology has become an important means of an exploratory intermolecular interaction ,and can provides a good theoretical basis on medical research .

The pathogenesis of brain injury in fetal growth restriction (FGR) fetuses is likely associated with oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. This article mainly reviews the anatomical alterations, potential pathophysiological processes, and the specific molecular mechanisms involving various types of brain cells in FGR.

Objective This paper summarizes and evaluates the existing animal models of Post-infectious irritable bowel syndrome(PI-IBS)based on the clinical diagnostic criteria and symptom characteristics of PI-IBS in Chinese and western medicine.The goal of this study is to seek out animal models with a high degree of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine,and to provide an accurate animal model for the prevention and treatment of PI-IBS in traditional Chinese medicine.Methods The animal strains,modelling methods,and mechanisms of the existing PI-IBS animal models were summarized based on the clinical diagnostic features and symptomatology of PI-IBS,as well as the degree of match was evaluated and the strengths and weaknesses of the preparation of animal models were analyzed,by reviewing the articles related to PI-IBS animal experiments and the preparation of animal models.Results A thorough analysis discovered that Campylobacter jejuni infection model,Trichinella infection model,and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome in models of disease and symptom combination showed a comparatively high level of clinical agreement between Chinese and western medicine.Conclusion The existing PI-IBS models had the high degree of coincidence with western medicine,Chinese medicine four diagnoses and syndrome are generally less embodied and collected in the modeling process.The primary symptoms in Chinese medicine diagnosis are primarily based on the observation of animal apparent behaviors,while the observation of the sub-syndrome manifestations is relatively less,which results in failure of judgment of TCM syndrome types.Therefore,it is still necessary to further standardize the criteria for evaluating symptoms and the techniques for identifying disease-syndrome combination animal models.PI-IBS model with the syndrome-clinical characteristics in Chinese and western medicine has significant application value and prospects in the future.The multifactorial composite method of western medicine pathological injury+Chinese medicine etiological stimulation can establish a PI-IBS model with a higher degree of coincidence,which can provide theoretical support for the study of the pathogenesis of PI-IBS,the difference of syndrome,and the prevention and treatment with integrative Chinese and western medicine.It is crucial to guide the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PI-IBS.

Objective:To investigate the safety, efficacy and application indication of intra-operative cell salvage (IOCS) in cesarean section.Methods:A total of 1 265 pregnant women who received IOCS blood transfusion during cesarean section in 11 tertiary A hospitals from August 2016 to January 2019 were collected and divided into <1 500 ml group (796 cases) and ≥1 500 ml group (469 cases) according to the amount of blood loss during cesarean section. The general clinical data, ultrasonic imaging data, perinatal and puerperium indicators were analyzed retrospectively. The risk factors of intraoperative blood loss ≥1 500 mL using IOCS transfusion were analyzed by logistic multivariate regression.Results:(1) A total of 848 001 ml of blood was recovered and a total of 418 649 ml of blood was transfused in 1 265 pregnant women who received IOCS transfusions, which was equivalent to 23 258 U red blood cell suspension, greatly saving medical resources. The intraoperative blood loss in <1 500 ml group and ≥1 500 ml group was 800 ml (300-1 453 ml) and 2 335 ml (1 500-20 000 ml), respectively. No amniotic fluid embolism, severe adverse reactions, shock and death occurred in the two groups. (3) Multivariate regression analysis showed that age ≥35 years ( OR=1.5, 95% CI: 1.1-1.9), prenatal hemoglobin level <110 g/L ( OR=1.7, 95% CI: 1.3-2.2), history of uterine surgery ( OR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.3-2.6), placenta previa ( OR=1.9, 95% CI: 1.1-3.1), placenta accreta ( OR=2.6, 95% CI: 1.8-3.9), blood pool in the placenta ( OR=1.6, 95% CI: 1.1-2.3), abnormal posterior placenta muscle wall ( OR=1.8, 95% CI: 1.2-2.6), placenta projecting to the anterior uterine wall ( OR=3.0, 95% CI: 1.3-7.0) were risk factors for blood loss ≥1 500 ml in obstetric transfusion using IOCS technique, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusion:IOCS is safe and effective in cesarean section, which could save the medical resources and reduces medical expenses, however, it is necessary to strictly master the application indication.

The complement system is a self-protection mechanism of the human body. The abnormal activation of the complement system is involved in the occurrence and development of various diseases. The application of complement inhibitors in many rare diseases was a milestone in leading to the progress of such disease as paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and others. Recently, the application of complement inhibitors has gradually expanded to other complement-related diseases. This review summarizes the literature on the current application of complement inhibitors in rare diseases and looks into the prospects of the application in the rare diseases.
