The vagina contains at least a billion microbial cells,dominated by lactobacilli.Here we perform metagenomic shotgun sequencing on cervical and fecal samples from a cohort of 516 Chinese women of reproductive age,as well as cervical,fecal,and salivary samples from a second cohort of 632 women.Factors such as pregnancy history,delivery history,cesarean section,and breastfeeding were all more important than menstrual cycle in shaping the microbiome,and such information would be necessary before trying to interpret differences between vagino-cervical micro-biome data.Greater proportion of Bifidobacterium breve was seen with older age at sexual debut.The relative abundance of lactobacilli especially Lactobacillus crispatus was negatively associated with pregnancy history.Potential markers for lack of menstrual regularity,heavy flow,dysmenor-rhea,and contraceptives were also identified.Lactobacilli were rare during breastfeeding or post-menopause.Other features such as mood fluctuations and facial speckles could potentially be predicted from the vagino-cervical microbiome.Gut and salivary microbiomes,plasma vitamins,metals,amino acids,and hormones showed associations with the vagino-cervical microbiome.Our results offer an unprecedented glimpse into the microbiota of the female reproductive tract and call for international collaborations to better understand its long-term health impact other than in the settings of infection or pre-term birth.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.Methods:A total of 1 000 children patients diagnosed with ADHD who received treatment in the Department of Pediatrics, the Third People's Hospital of Yuyao, China between January 2017 and June 2020 were included in the ADHD group. Additional 1 000 school-age children who concurrently received health examination were included in the control group. Questionnaire surveys were performed among the subjects' close relatives. The risk prediction models for ADHD were constructed.Results:Mother's irritability, abnormal emotion during pregnancy, father's history of ADHD symptoms, mother's smoking, rearing style and fetal distress were independent risk factors for ADHD. The area under the ROC curve of prediction model application was 0.929 (0.894-0.964).Conclusion:The constructed risk prediction models for ADHD have good performance in the prediction of ADHD. Children at high risk of ADHD should be followed up as early as possible. Parents' health education and parenting intervention should be strengthened to prevent the occurrence of ADHD.

Objective:To build a medical service experience system based on role play of hospital staff, and explore its contribution to upgrading medical service, elevating medical service quality, and improving patients′ satisfaction.Methods:An indicator system for medical service experience was developed via literature review. 20 newly recruited hospital employees in 2019 were sampled randomly to form a service experience team, who were arranged to experience the full medical service process of outpatients and inpatients based on role play. The questionnaire for service quality based on patient perception and expectation was used to survey the expectation and perception values of those role players on their medical service experiences, and summarize the defects found on such six dimensions as hospital reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, empathy and cost-effectiveness. After due corrections of these defects, further experiences and patient satisfaction survey were made to assess the effects of such actions taken. Paired t test was used respectively in statistical analysis of service experience value and actual perception value, as well as the perception values before and after the actions taken, and χ2 test was used for a statistical analysis of patient satisfaction. Results:Role players experienced respectively at the emergency, outpatient and inpatient departments of the hospital for a week in August 2019. Statistics of their experiences indicated≥0.50 points difference between the mean expectation and perception values on doctor-patient communication, patient help responsiveness, outpatient process, examination report delivery duration, service attitude, patient trust on medical workers, medical environment and patient privacy protection.Following a 3-month reform, role players found improvements in such aspects as hospital reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, empathy and cost-effectiveness; patient satisfaction improved sizably in December 2019 over January of the same year( P<0.05). Conclusions:The construction and application of the medical service experience system based on role play of hospital staff prove highly useful in upgrading medical service actions, improving medical service quality, and improving patient satisfaction.

In addition, we provided a special course of "Introduction to Medical Laboratory" to freshmen, helping them select direction and plan their career, and exploring how to cultivate medical and engineering compound applied undergraduate talents of medical laboratory major.

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of the preserving insertion point of the rectus abdominis-Pfannenstiel approach with traditional Pfannenstiel approach in the treatment of pelvic anterior ring injuries. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 43 cases with pelvic anterior ring injuries treated from September 2008 to February 2016. Among them, 20 cases were treated with the preserving insertion point of the rectus abdominis-Pfannenstiel approach (modified approach group) including 14 males and 6 females, aged 18-58 years, with an average age of 36.9 years. According to Tile classification of pelvic fractures, there were 8 cases of B1 type, 4 cases of B2 type, 2 cases of B3 type, 4 cases of C1 type and 2 cases of C2 type. And 23 cases were treated with traditional Pfannenstiel approach (traditional approach group, 16 cases of males and 7 cases of females, aged 19-59 years, with an average age of 36.8 years). Tile classification of pelvic fractures: 9 cases of B1, 4 cases of B2, 3 cases of B3, 4 cases of C1 and 3 cases of C2). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative reduction, postoperative functional and complications were compared between the two groups. Results: 43 patients were followed up for 12-40 months, with an average of 20.5 months. All fractures healed in 8-20 weeks, with an average time of 10 weeks. Duration of anterior approach: 119.0±18.3 min in the modified approach group and 93.7±17.8 min in the traditional approach group (t=4.597, P< 0.05). Intraoperative blood loss: 206.0±38.2 ml in the modified approach group and 252.4±46.1 ml in the traditional approach group (t=-3.560, P< 0.05). Postoperative hospital stay: 14.5±3.0 d in the modified approach group, and 20.0±4.4 d in the traditional approach group (t=-4.775, P< 0.05). Postoperative reduction was evaluated according to the Matta reduction criteria, among which 15 cases were excellent and 5 cases were good in the modified approach group; 17 cases were excellent and 6 cases were good in the traditional approach group. According to the Majeed score, the postoperative function of pelvic fracture was excellent in 10 cases, good in 7 cases, and acceptable in 3 cases, with an excellent and good rate of 85.0% (17/20). There were 11 excellent cases, 8 good cases and 4 fair cases in the traditional approach group, with an excellent and good rate of 82.6% (19/23). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ²=0.04, P >0.05). Complications: 2 cases of internal fixation loosening and 2 cases of coital pain occurred in the modified approach group after surgery, with a complication rate of 20.0% (4/20). Postoperatively, 1 case of superficial infection, 1 case of pulmonary infection, 1 case of internal fixation loosening, 1 case of screw broken and 4 cases of coital pain occurred in the traditional approach group, with a complication rate of 34.8% (8/23). Conclusion Both approaches can achieve satisfactory results in the treatment of anterior pelvic ring injury. The preserving insertion point of the rectus abdominis-Pfannenstiel approach for the treatment of anterior pelvic ring injuries has the advantages of less bleeding, faster recovery and shorter hospitalization time.

The widespread application of next generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical settings has enabled testing, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases. However, many issues have arisen in the meanwhile. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of standards for reporting genetic test results across different service providers. The First Forum on Standards and Specifications for Clinical Genetic Testing was held to address the issue in Shenzhen, China, on October 28, 2017. Participants, including geneticists, clinicians, and representatives of genetic testing service providers, discussed problems of clinical genetic testing services across in China and shared opinions on principles, challenges, and standards for reporting clinical genetic test results. Here we summarize expert opinions presented at the seminar and report the consensus, which will serve as a basis for the development of standards and guidelines for reporting of clinical genetic testing results, in order to promote the standardization and regulation of genetic testing services in China.

Objective To evaluate clinical outcomes of the Kocher-Langenbeck (K-L) approach combined with partial proximal Watson-Jones incision for the treatment of acetabular fractures involving the weight-bearing area.Methods From January 2012 to January 2017,20 patients were treated by the K-L approach combined with partial proximal Watson-Jones incision for acetabular fracture involving the weight-bearing acetabular dome.They were 13 males and 7 females,with an average age of 40.7 years (range,from 22 to 67 years).According to the Letournel-Judet classification,there were 8 posterior wall fractures,one transverse fracture,one T-shaped fracture,one transverse and posterior wall fracture,3 posterior column and posterior wall fractures,and 6 double-column fractures.All patients received open reduction and internal fixation with plates and screws.The outcomes of reduction were evaluated at follow-ups according to the Matta criteria.The hip function was evaluated according to the modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel criteria and the abductor strength by the American Medical Research Council criteria at final follow-ups.Results All the 20 patients were followed up for an average of 8.2 months (range,from 7 to 21 months).They all obtained bony union after 10 to 18 weeks (average,11.4 weeks).No fracture displacement,internal fixation loosening or deep infection occurred.According to the Matta criteria,anatomic reduction was achieved in 13 cases,satisfactory reduction in 6 cases,and unsatisfactory in one (a satisfactory rate of 95％).The modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel scoring for the hip function at the final follow-ups yielded 9 excellent cases,7 good cases,3 fair cases and one poor case (an excellent to good rate of 80％).Ectopic ossification of Brooker grade Ⅰ occurred in one case.The abductor strength was rated as grade Ⅳ in 3 cases and as grade Ⅴ in 17.Conclusions In the treatment of acetabular fractures involving the acetabular dome,the K-L approach combined with partial proximal Watson-Jones incision can increase the operation view of the weight-bearing area,enhance the anatomic matching of femoral head and acetabular roof,and reduce the difficulties in reduction and fixation.

Objective To report the effects of surgical treatment of old die-punch fractures of the distal radius.Methods A retrospective study of case series was made of the 21 old die-punch fractures of the distal radius which had been surgically treated from January 2012 to January 2017 at Department of Orthopaedics,Shandong Provincial Hospital.There were 13 males and 8 females,aged from 34 to 63 years (average,46.9 years).According to the preoperative definite diagnoses by the X-ray and CT images,there were 14 metacarpal compression fractures and 7 dorsal compression fractures.The palmar approach was used in 13 cases,the dorsal approach in 7 and the combined approach in one.Autogenous iliac bone grafting was performed for all the cases.Their preoperative and postoperative Cooney scoring and visual analogue scale (VAS) of the wrist,and postoperative complications as well,were observed and recorded.Results This cohort was followed up for 8 to 14 months (average,9.2 months).All their postoperative wounds healed by the first intention.Their Cooney functional scores of the wrist were,respectively,58.5 ± 4.2 and 84.0 ± 3.1 points preoperatively and at the final follow-up,and their corresponding VAS scores 7.6 ± 0.9 and 3.4 ± 1.3 points,showing significant differences between preoperation and the final follow-up (P ＜ 0.05).Carpal arthritis was observed in one case.Conclusion For old die-punch fractures of the distal radius,surgical treatment can obviously reduce pain,improve function of the wrist and enhance the quality of life of the patients.

Objective To explore the application value of external fixator in obsolete hip dislocation.Methods Retrospective analysis of 9 cases of obsolete hip dislocation treated with external fixator from January 2010 to January 2017.There were 6 males and 3 females,with an average of 32.0±8.3 years old (range 19-47).The time from injury to operation was 3-9 months,with an average of 6.2± 1.9 months.The patient's limb shortening length,traction time,traction length,operation time,surgical bleeding volume,preoperative and last follow-up VAS score,Epstein score,D'Aubigne functional score were recorded.Results The length of the limb shortened 5-11cm,with an average of 6.7±2.0 cm.The preoperative traction time ranged 20-45 d,with an average of 26.9±8.2 d.The length of traction ranged 5-12 cm,with an average of 7.1±2.2 cm.The second reconstruction operation time was 2.0-4.0 hours,with an average of 2.8±0.7 h.The bleeding volume was 800-2 000ml,with an average of 1 216.7±422.8 ml.The Epstein score at the last follow-up was excellent in 4 cases,good in 4 cases and improved in 1 case.The preoperative VAS score and the final follow-up VAS score were 0.9±0.8 points and 4.6±0.9 points respectively.There was a significant difference between preoperative and postoperative VAS scores (t=8.981,P=0.000).The D'Aubigne functional scores of preoperative and final follow-up were 5.2±1.0 points and 13.1±2.0 points respectively and the difference was statistically significant (t=-12.044,P=0.000).Conclusion The external fixation in the treatment of obsolete dislocation of the hip is helpful and accepted in patients with femoral head dislocation.It is easy to carry and tract for patients and convenient for functional exercise.The external fixation makes operation simple and flexible;the traction force is strong and the effect of the femoral head reduction is obvious,the operation method is simplified and the quality of the reduction is improved.
