ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect and potential mechanisms of isocitrate dehydrogenase 3A (IDH3A) on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. MethodsThe expression of IDH3A in the myocardium of healthy volunteers (n=10) and patients with heart failure (HF) (n=10), and in the myocardium of mice subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) surgery and sham operation, as well as in phenylephrine (PE)-induced neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NRVCs), was assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot assay. The effect of adenovirus-mediated overexpression of IDH3A on the expression of hypertrophy-related genes in PE-induced NRVCs was also evaluated. The effect of IDH3A on NRVCs area was examined by phalloidin staining assay. A mutant of IDH3A with abolished enzymatic activity, IDH3A_D208A, was generated through site-directed mutagenesis. The impact of this IDH3A mutant on the hypertrophic phenotype, ATP and ROS levels in NRVCs was evaluated to investigate whether the regulatory role of IDH3A in cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was dependent on its enzymatic activity. The effect of exogenous α-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was also detected by Western blot and phalloidin staining assay, respectively. ResultsIDH3A was significantly decreased in the myocardium of HF patients, in the myocardium of TAC-operated mice, and in PE-induced NRVCs (P = 0.005 2,P = 0.026 6,P = 0.041 3 and P = 0.006 6, respectively). Overexpression of IDH3A markedly suppressed the expression of hypertrophy-related genes and the increase of cell size of PE-induced NRVCs (P < 0.000 1, P = 0.000 1 and P = 0.000 2, respectively). The ATP and ROS analysis indicated that IDH3A inhibited the increases of ATP and ROS levels in PE-induced NRVCs (P = 0.001 2 and P<0.000 1, respectively), whereas the enzymatically inactive IDH3A mutant lacked this effect. Exogenous AKG provision could, but overexpression of IDH3A mutant failed to suppress PE-induced NRVCs hypertrophy. ConclusionIDH3A inhibits cardiomyocyte hypertrophy via elevating AKG level, providing scientific evidence for study on IDH3A-based treatment of cardiac hypertrophy.

In recent years, studies have found that breast microbiota differs between breast cancer tissue and normal breast tissue. Breast microbiota is closely related to the occurrence and development of breast cancer, and its mechanism includes affecting estrogen levels, lipid metabolism, immune regulation, and inflammatory response. Adjusting diet, rational use of antibiotics and oral probiotics can regulate breast microbiota, which is a new direction for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To perform principal component analysis on the status quo of nurses' research ability, and explore the status quo of their relevant research needs.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, totally 588 clinical nurses working in a children's hospital in Hunan Province from July to December 2019 were selected by stratified random sampling and investigated with the self-designed questionnaire. The survey content included three parts: the first part was general information; the second part was the survey of the status quo of nurses' research ability; the third part was the survey of the status quo of nurses' research needs. A total of 588 questionnaires were distributed, and 577 questionnaires were collected, accounting for an effective recovery rate of 98.13%.Results:The three items with the higher scores in the survey of research ability status were frequently search for professional materials through the Internet (3.255±0.491) scores, able to perform statistical description (2.931±0.572) scores and able to use Chinese database (2.894±0.429) scores. The three items with the higher need for research ability were project application 80.94% (467/577) , paper writing 76.95% (444/577) and special lecture 71.92% (415/577) , whereas the three items with the lower need for research ability were continuing learning 46.10% (266/577) , retrieving documents 40.90% (236/577) and group symposium 38.30% (211/577) .Conclusions:Nursing staff has relatively good ability in information retrieval and basic statistics, but relatively poor ability in paper writing. The research ability of nurses can be summarized as statistical analysis ability, information retrieval/document reading ability, research topic selection ability and paper writing ability. Attention should be paid to whether there are high research needs in the weak links of research ability, and nursing research guidance and education should be provided purposively.

Objective To analyze the situation of high-risk human papillomavirus(HPV) infection and its relationship with cervical lesions among rural women in Chongqing City. Methods A total of 20000 rural women were selected from the districts of Wanzhou, Yongchuan,Banan and Tongnan of Chongqing City from January to April 2016. The cervical cancer preliminary screening was performed by detecting HPV gynotyping. The cases of HPV 16 and HPV 18 positive or other 12 high risk HPV types positive with abnormal colposcopy examination conducted the colposcopy fixed point biopsy. Results The positive rate of high-risk HPV infection was 9.66% among rural women in Chongqing City. The positive rates of high-risk HPV infection and different types of high-risk HPV infection had difference among different age groups. Among women of high-risk HPV infection positive, the occurrence rate of CIN1 was 2.33 %,which of CIN2,CIN3 and AIS was 1.35 %,and which of cervical cancer was 0.31%, the incidence rate of different grades of cervical lesions had no statistical difference among different age groups. Among women with different types of high-risk HPV infection,the incidence rate of different grades of cervical lesions in women of HPV 16 positive was highest, those with the other 12 types of high risk HPV positive had the lowest occurrence rate of different grades of cervical lesions, the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion HPV genotyping detection can increase the efficiency of cervical cancer screen ing and is more suitable for the screening of large population.

OBJECTIVESince 1986, the reference of birth weight for gestational age has not been updated. The aim of this study was to set up Chinese neonatal network to investigate the current situation of birth weight in China, especially preterm birth weight, to develop the new reference for birth weight for gestational age and birth weight curve.
METHODA nationwide neonatology network was established in China. This survey was carried out in 63 hospitals of 23 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. We continuously collected the information of live births in participating hospitals during the study period of 2011-2014. Data describing birth weight and gestational age were collected prospectively. Newborn's birth weight was measured by electronic scale within 2 hours after birth when baby was undressed. The evaluation of gestational age was based on the combination of mother's last menstrual period, ultrasound in first trimester and gestational age estimation by gestational age scoring system.
STATISTICAL ANALYSISthe growth curve was drawn by using LMSP method, which was conducted in GAMLSS 1.9-4 software package in R software 2.11.1.
RESULTA total of 159 334 newborn infants were enrolled in this study. There were 84 447 male and 74 907 female. The mean birth weight was (3 232 ± 555) g, the mean birth weight of male newborn was (3 271 ± 576) g, the mean weight of female newborn was (3 188 ± 528) g. The test of the variables' distribution suggested that the distribution of gestational age and birth weight did not fit the normal distribution, the optimal distribution for them was BCT distribution. The Q-Q plot test and worm plot test suggested that this curve fitted the distribution optimally. The male and female neonatal birth weight curve was developed using the same method.
CONCLUSIONUsing GAMLSS method to establish nationwide neonatal birth weight curve, and the first time to update the birth weight reference in recent 28 years.

In this paper, a new method was presented which can generate dental panoramic radiographs from the 3D CT sectional data. The dental panoramic radiograph was generated by casting ray into the 3D sectional data from a curved surface close to the dental arch. With this method, the relationship between the 3D CT sectional data and the dental panoramic radiographs was built, which helped to overcome the defects in the real X-ray panoramic radiographs, such as structure overlap and unselectable content for displaying. The technology is of certain significance in computer aided technique and surgical planning related to dentistry.
