Over the years of exploration and development, the surgical techniques and prognosis of liver transplantation in China have been significantly improved, resulting in a notable decrease in the prevalence of postoperative complications. However, ischemic-type biliary lesion remain a non-negligible issue. The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University formulated and published the "Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Ischemic-Type Biliary Lesions after Liver Transplantation in Mainland China" in 2015, which has now been updated into a guideline based on current conditions and literature reports. This guideline elaborates in detail on the definition, incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention of high-risk factors, and treatment of ischemic-type biliary lesion, aiming to provide standardized and normative guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic-type biliary lesion after liver transplantation, thereby reducing the rate of re-transplantation and fatality, and to improve the overall quality of life of liver transplant recipients.

Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2022;28(24):138-144
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of modified Zhibai Dihuangwan on children (female) with idiopathic precocious puberty (ICPP) and to explore the mechanism. MethodA total of 78 children with ICPP who were treated in Henan Children's Hospital from July 2019 to July 2020 were randomized into the observation group and control group by sealed envelope randomization with 39 in either group. The observation group was given modified Zhibai Dihuangwan (1 dose/day, oral, divided into two times) and the control group Zhibai Dihuangtang (1 dose/day, oral, divided into two times orally). The treatment lasted 3 months for both groups. The changes of mammary nucleus length, maximum follicular diameter, uterus, and ovarian volume before and after treatment in the two groups were observed, and serum luteinizing hormone (LH) level, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level, prolactin (PRL) level, and estrogen (E2) level were detected in the two groups. At the cellular level, the secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and mRNA expression of precocious puberty-related genes Kiss-1 and G protein-coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) were measured. ResultLevels of serum sex hormones of the two groups were significantly decreased after treatment as compared with those before treatment (P<0.01). After treatment, the length of the mammary nucleus and the maximum follicular diameter in the observation group were smaller than those in the control group (P<0.01). The total clinical effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). At the cellular level, the expression levels of GnRH, Kiss-1 and GPR54 mRNA in GT1-7 cells treated with modified Zhibai Dihuangwan were lower than those treated with traditional Zhibai Dihuangtang. ConclusionModified Zhibai Dihuangwan can effectively inhibit levels of serum sex hormones in children with ICPP and delay the development of mammary nucleus and ovary in children with precocious puberty. It is more effective than traditional Zhibai Dihuangtang, which is worthy of clinical promotion. The mechanism is the likelihood that it inhibits the expression of Kiss-1 and GPR54 mRNA.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical significance of miRNA-146, OX-LDL and ROS in patients with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).
METHODS:
100 patients with POI were prospectively collected and 100 women with normal ovarian function were randomly selected as control group. Serum miRNA-146 expression level was detected by qRT-PCR and serum OX-LDL and ROS expression levels were detected by ELISA. Ovarian granulosa cells of mouse were transfected with miRNA-146 mimics or inhibitors, and then treated with OX-LDL. Cell viability, colony forming ability, apoptosis rate and toll like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) of pathway proteins were evaluated respectively.
RESULTS:
Compared with control group, the expression level of miRNA-146 in POI group was significantly lower, the expression level of OX-LDL and ROS were significantly higher, and the ovarian volume and peak systolic blood flow velocity of ovarian artery were significantly decreased in POI group. Upregulation of miRNA-146 expression had a protective effect on OX-LDL injured ovarian granulosa cells, as evidenced by increased ovarian granulosa cell viability and colony number, reduced apoptosis, and downregulation of TLR4/NF-κB expression.
CONCLUSION
miRNA-146 can target downstream TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway affects oxidative stress and inflammatory response of POI induced by OX-LDL and ROS, and is expected to become a biomarker for early prediction of POI and a new target for treatment.

Objective:
To explore the association between factors affecting language development and Chinese dyslexia, providing scientific evidence for prevention and intervention of dyslexia.
Methods:
Twelve elementary schools were selected in Baoan, Shenzhen. The parents and head teachers of 12 868 children in grade 3-5 were surveyed by the Questionnaire for Children s Reading Ability, the Dyslexia Checklist for Chinese Children and the Pupil Rating Scale Revised Screening for Learning Disabilities.
Results:
The prevalence rate of dyslexia was 2.71%, with 349 children suffering from dyslexia. Gender, parental education and occupations, family income, whether parents work away from home before their child was 3 years old, average time mother spends with her child daily and number of languages spoken in family had statistical significance on dyslexia(all P <0.05). After adjusting for parental education and occupations, and family income, the children who spent more than 1 hour with their mothers per day had a significantly reduced risk of dyslexia (1-2: OR =0.46; 3-4: OR =0.45; 5-6: OR =0.40; >7 h: OR =0.36, P <0.05); the children living in families where two languages were used for communication had a significantly reduced risk of dyslexia( OR=0.74, 95%CI=0.57-0.96, P =0.02). Children with a history of language development disorders had a significantly increased risk of dyslexia( OR=17.30, 95%CI=7.86-38.09, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Increase of time mother spend with their child daily and paying more attention to the children with a history of language development disorders can help to prevent the occurrence of dyslexia.

Objective? To explore the current situation of intention to stay and its influencing factors and to analyze the correlations and interactions among resilience, perceived professional benefits and intention to stay. Methods? Cross-sectional survey was used in this study. In June 2017, we selected nurses from three general hospitals of aerospace system as respondents by convenience sampling. All of the nurses were investigated with the general information questionnaire, Nurses' Job Retention Questionnaire, Questionnaire of Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefits and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). A total of 600 questionnaires were sent out and 589 valid questionnaires were collected with 98.17% for the valid recovery rate. The data were analyzed with the Pearson correlation, multiple stepwise regression and mediating effect. Results? Among 589 nurses the total scores of intention to stay, perceived professional benefits and resilience were (3.28±0.58), (128.85±17.48) and (86.55±12.11) respectively. There were statistical differences in the scores of intention to stay among nurses with different ages, authorized sizes, job title, length of care time, operating hours, self-health conditions and burdens of family (P< 0.05). Pearson correlation showed that nurses' resilience and perceived professional benefits had positive correlations with the intention to stay (r=0.387, 0.557;P<0.05). Multiple stepwise regression showed that the five main influencing factors of nurses' intention to stay included health condition, nursing years, positive perceived profession, team sense of belonging and tenacity which explained 35.3% of the variance of nurses' intention to stay. Nurses' resilience had a partial mediation effect between perceived professional benefits and intention to stay with 12.43% for the effect value. Conclusions? Nurses' intension to stay is in a medium level which influenced by many factors. Nursing managers can increase nurses' intension to stay by improving nurses' perceived professional benefits and resilience.

Objective? To explore the status quo of sense of career successfulness, emotional intelligence and psychological resilience and the effects of emotional intelligence and psychological resilience on sense of career successfulness, and to provide a reference for stabilizing and managing the community nursing team. Methods? Totally 380 in-service nurses were selected from a community health service center in Beijing using convenient sampling between April and May 2019. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted with the self-designed questionnaire, Sense of Career Successfulness Scale (SCSS), Schutte′s Emotional Intelligence Scale-Chinese (SSEIS-C) and Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Results? A total of 380 questionnaires were distributed and 352 valid questionnaires were returned. The SCSS score of the 352 community nurses was (73.09±13.61), their total SSEIS-C score was (78.98±12.29), their total CD-RISC score was (88.01±14.79). Univariate analysis results showed that different marital status, with or without children, post satisfaction, job satisfaction, monthly income satisfaction, nurse-patient relationship satisfaction, colleague relationship satisfaction, cooperation relationship satisfaction, interest in management, research or specialty affairs, occupational development, manifestation of self-worth and decision to or not to quit were the influencing factor of the professional success of community nurses(P< 0.05). Psychological resilience and emotional intelligence were significantly and positively correlated with sense of career successfulness. A hierarchical regression analysis revealed that general demographic data could account for 32.4% of the total variable of sense of career successfulness in community nurses; emotional intelligence could account for 14.4%;and psychological resilience could account for 11.7%. Conclusions? The sense of career successfulness in community nurses stands at a medium level, which is correlated with multiple factors such as their research work, nurse-patient relationship satisfaction, special interest, emotional intelligence and psychological resilience. Community health services should pay attentional to these factors and improve their sense of career successfulness by enhancing their emotional intelligence and psychological resilience.
