Objective To explore the association of the TSLP gene polymorphisms at rs3806932,rs11466741 and rs2289278 loci with childhood asthma and serum TSLP levels,and to analyze the effects of gene-environment interactions on asthma risk in children.Methods A total of 145 children with asthma and 108 healthy controls were included.Genotyping was performed using KASP and MassARRAY SNP technologies,and serum TSLP levels were measured by ELISA.Differences in allele and genotype frequencies between the two groups were analyzed,along with the impact of genetic models on asthma risk.Differences in serum TSLP levels across groups were compared.Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype analysis were performed using Haploview 4.2,and GMDR 0.9 software was used to assess gene-environment interactions.Results No significant differences were found in the allele and genotype frequencies of the three TSLP gene loci between the two groups(P>0.05).Under the co-dominant model,children with the AG genotype at the rs3806932 locus had 1.750 times the risk of developing asthma compared to those with the AA genotype(95%CI:1.018-3.010,P=0.043).Under co-dominant and overdominant models,children with the CT genotype at the rs11466741 locus had 1.705 times the asthma risk compared to those with the CC genotype(95%CI:1.006-2.891,P=0.048),and 1.698 times the risk compared to those with the CC-TT genotype(95%CI:1.019-2.827,P=0.041).Serum TSLP levels were significantly higher in asthma patients with the CT genotype than those with the CC genotype at the rs11466741 locus(P=0.032).Serum TSLP levels were higher in the asthma group with allergic rhinitis(AR)compared to the group without AR(P<0.01).No significant differences were observed in the distribution of haplotypes frequencies(AC,GT,GC)between the two groups(P>0.05).GMDR analysis showed that the highest asthma risk was observed in children with heterozygous genotypes(CT,AG)at both rs11466741 and rs2289278,or those with the CT genotype at rs11466741,a history of passive smoking,and a cesarean section delivery(P<0.05).Conclusion Polymorphisms in the TSLP gene at rs3806932 and rs11466741 are associated with an increased risk of childhood asthma.Variants at the rs11466741 locus affect serum TSLP levels in children with asthma.Asthma combined with AR leads to elevation of serum TSLP levels.The interaction between rs11466741 and rs2289278,along with environmental factors(passive smoking and cesarean section),contributes to the increase of asthma risk in children.

To investigate the correlation of polymorphisms at the rs1837253 and rs3806933 loci of the thymic stromal lymphopoietin(TSLP)gene with asthma susceptibility and Eos,IgE,and FeNO levels in children.A total of 143 asthmatic children were selected as the study group,and 112 healthy children undergoing routine health examinations at the same hospital were chosen as the control group.The MassARRAY SNP genotyping technology was used to detect the genotypes at two loci,while serum IgE levels were determined by using the turbidimetric scattering method.The distribution differences in genotype and allele frequencies between the two groups were analyzed,along with the effects of different genotypes on Eos,IgE,and FeNO levels.There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of rs1837253 allele and genotype frequencies as well as rs3806933 allele frequencies between the two groups(P>0.05).However,asthma group rs3806933 CT genotype frequency was higher than the control group,and CC genotype frequency was lower than the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the wild-type genotypes,children who carried rs1837253 CT+CC and rs3806933 CT,CT+TT genotypes had an increased risk of asthma(CT+CC vs TT:OR=2.737,95%CI:1.514-4.945;CT vs CC:OR=2.058,95%CI:1.194-3.543;CT+TT vs CC:OR=1.843,95%CI:1.109-3.062).There was an overall statistical difference in Eos counts among the three genotypes at the rs1837253 locus in the asthma group(P<0.05,correction for multiple comparisons P>0.05),but not in the control group(P>0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in Eos%,IgE,and FeNO levels among the genotypes at the two loci and no significant difference in Eos counts among genotypes at the rs3806933 loci(P>0.05).Taken together,polymorphisms at rs1837253 and rs3806933 loci in the promoter region of the TSLP gene are associated with asthma susceptibility in children.rs3806933 CT genotype may serve as a potential genetic marker for asthma,and rs1837253 CT+CC and rs3806933 CT+TT genotypes are risk factors for asthma in children;the rs1837253 locus polymorphism tended to affect blood Eos counts,while the two SNPs were not associated with Eos%,serum IgE,and FeNO levels.

Objective:To analyse the clinical significance of selective single embryo transfer by time-lapse mo-nitoring(TLM)or conventional morphology assessment(CMA)in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection and embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET),and to initially explore the predictive value of Raman spectral analy-sis of embryo culture medium for clinical pregnancy rate.Methods:The study is a prospective randomized con-trolled clinical trial.We assigned 139 patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET in Reproductive and Genetics Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April 2019 to July 2020,which were randomly assigned to either the CMA or the TLM group.We performed selective single-embryo transfer(fresh cycle and FET)after selecting the optimal em-bryos with TLM or CMA respectively.If the patient's first embryo transfer was unsuccessful,a second one would be performed to compare the differences in the cumulative live birth rate of embryo transfer and other pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.Meanwhile,we collected 15 μl of embryo culture medium at day 3 after IVF/ISCI fertilization for Raman spectroscopy analysis.Results:There were no differences in cumulative live birth,cu-mulative clinical pregnancy,cumulative premature birth,cumulative early spontaneous abortion,cumulative ectopic pregnancy and LGA or SGA between TLM and CMA groups(P>0.05).The Neonatal sex ratio in the TLM group was lower than that in the CMA group,but the difference was not significant(P>0.05).Raman spectros-copy analysis of embryo culture medium predicted the clinical pregnancy rate with 67.21%accuracy.Conclu-sions:In young women with a good ovarian reserve,the advantage of using TLM to evaluate embryos is not obvi-ous,so we should remain vigilant that embryo selection based on morphokinetic parameters may affect the sex ratio.Raman spectroscopic analysis of embryo culture medium is not yet able to effectively predict the planting ability of embryos.

Flos Trollii is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb in China. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part 1) did not include the medicinal herb, its source is not clear, and there is a lack of relevantly systematic and comprehensive research. By consulting ancient Chinese herbal medicines, medical books and related literature, the textual research of Flos Trollii was conducted to verify the name, origin and producing area, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application and resource development of Flos Trollii. Through textual research, it could be seen that the name “Jinlianhua” was used as the correct name in the mainstream origin of the past dynasties, and there were still multiple synonyms such as Hanjinlian, Jinmeicao and so on, most of which originated from its growth environment and appearance. According to the distribution of varieties, it could be inferred that the mainstream origin of Flos Trollii in the Qing Dynasty and before was Trollius chinensis Bge. According to historical records, Flos Trollii were mostly produced in northern regions such as Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, etc., which was related to the fact that Flos Trollii liked cloudy, humid and cold environments. Based on the textual research results, the author suggested that the mainstream origin of the past dynasties T. chinensis Bge. should be selected for subsequent collection of Flos Trollii.

Objective:To explore the experience of the postoperative adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome from the patients′ angle and to provide references for improving the postoperative comfort of the patients.Methods:The phenomenology research method was adopted in this study. Thirteen postoperative adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome from Department of Otolaryngology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology participated in the in-depth interview with the interview outline. Data were analyzed by using Colaizzi′s phenomenological method.Results:Three level-1 themes and ten level-2 themes were extracted. The physical discomfort included throat discomfort, lacking of enough sleep at night, restricted diet, limitation in speaking. The negative emotion included the sense of worry, helplessness, fidget and regret. The wish of support included the wish of coping strategy and being understanded.Conclusions:The main uncomfortable experience of the patients is the throat discomfort which has the chain reaction and causes the other discomfort. So the nurses should inquire patients initiatively, cooperate with doctors and patients′ family members to relieve patients′ discomfort particularly at night, and then the patients′ quality of life, nurse-patient relationship and patients′ satisfaction may be improved.
