Objective:To investigate the prevention and treatment status of venous thromboembolism (VTE) of pregnant women in general hospitals and specialized hospitals in China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey about VTE prevention and treatment in 112 hospitals across China from January 1st to December 31st, 2019, including general information, resource accessibility, hospital system and strategy. According to the characteristics, the hospitals were divided into general hospital group (70 hospitals) and specialized hospital group (42 hospitals). The basic information, VTE diagnosis and treatment resources, prevention systems and the preference of the VTE risk assessment form of the two groups were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the proportion of VTE incidence and related factors in the two groups of hospitals.Results:(1) The median annual delivery volume of the general hospital group was significantly lower than that of the specialized hospital group (3 428 vs 9 969 cases, P<0.01), the diagnostic accessibility of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) was significantly higher than that of the specialized hospital [92.9% (65/70) vs 59.5% (25/42), P<0.01], and the proportion of obstetric VTE risk assessment was significantly higher than that of the specialized hospital group [85.7% (60/70) vs 66.7% (28/42), P=0.017]. (2) Among the 88 hospitals using the VTE risk assessment sheet, the utilization rate of the evaluation sheet recommended by the obstetric VTE guideline in specialized hospitals (78.6%, 22/28) was higher than that of general hospitals (48.3%, 29/60), and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.007). (3) The proportion of VTE incidence in general hospital group was 0.126% (360/286 517), and the proportion of VTE incidence in specialized hospital group was 0.032% (154/484 111). Logistic regression analysis showed that the OR value of the specialized hospital group was 0.253 (95% CI: 0.209-0.305) and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) compared with the general hospital group. After adjusting the hospital level, B-ultrasonography and CTPA accessibility, whether to establish a risk assessment and obstetric VTE system, the proportion of VTE incidence in specialized hospitals was still lower than that in general hospitals ( OR=0.307, 95% CI: 0.251-0.376, P<0.01). Conclusions:General hospitals have higher access to resources for diagnosing VTE than specialized hospitals, and the VTE evaluation system is better implemented. The utilization rate of the obstetric VTE guidelines in specialized hospitals is higher than that of general hospitals.

With the development of modern sequencing techniques and bioinformatics, genomes that were once thought to be noncoding have been found to encode abundant functional micropeptides (miPs), a kind of small polypeptides. Although miPs are difficult to analyze and identify, a number of studies have begun to focus on them. More and more miPs have been revealed as essential for energy metabolism homeostasis, immune regulation, and tumor growth and development. Many reports have shown that miPs are especially essential for regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and regulating mitochondrial function. MiPs are also involved in the progression of related diseases. This paper reviews the sources and identification of miPs, as well as the functional significance of miPs for metabolism-related diseases, with the aim of revealing their potential clinical applications.

Background and objective hTe signiifcant effcacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has been ap-proved for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. No clear evidence exists that EGFR-L861Q is sensitive to TKIs, and the best treatment for NSCLC patients with EGFR-L861Q mutation is undetermined. hTis study aims to discuss the best treatment for advanced NSCLC patients with EG-FR-L861Q mutation by analyzing the differences among the structures of wild-type EGFR, activating mutant EGFR-L858R, and EGFR-L861Q mutation. Method The protein structures of wild-type EGFR were reconstructed. EGFR-L858R and EGFR-L861Q mutation were activated. hTe differences among the three kinds of protein conformation were analyzed using homologous modeling technique. Results hTe structure of EGFR-L858R and wild-type EGFR exhibited notable distinctions. hTe structure of EGFR-L861Q mutation was different compared with wild-type EGFR and activating mutant EGFR-L858R protein conformations. NSCLC patients with EGFR-L861Q mutation were given chemotherapy as the ifrst-line of therapy, and TKIs were applied to maintain treatment when the tumor is unchanged. Effect evaluation result was improved when the lung computed tomography lesions were reviewed. Conclusion hTe analysis of the protein conformation of EGFR-L861Q muta-tion and the curative effect of chemotherapy with TKIs could help predict the sensitivity of EGFR-L861Q to TKIs. Combining the analysis with a clinical case, maintenance treatment with TKIs may achieve satisfactory curative effect in advanced NSCLC patients who have achieved disease control atfer ifrst-line chemotherapy.

Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is a small segment of circular DNA located outside the chromosome, which has the function of self-replication. Recently, amplification of oncogenes on ecDNA has been proved to be a common phenomenon in tumor cells, and has some characteristics worth studying, such as correlation with patients' poor prognosis. Multiple chromosomal events are involved in the formation of ecDNA, and its amplification can directly increase the number of DNA copies of extra-chromosomal oncogenes and accelerate the generation and development of tumors. Moreover, the segregation pattern of unequal transmission of parental ecDNA cells to offspring not only increases tumor heterogeneity, but also enhances tumor adaptation to environment and response to therapy. This article reviews the current status and potential significance of ecDNA in tumor cells.
