Objective To investigate the expression levels and clinical significance of serum and placental microRNA(miR)-1227-3p and miR-212-3p in puerperas with fetal growth restriction(FGR).Methods A total of 120 puerperas diagnosed with FGR and completed delivery in our hospital were included as the study group.Patients were assigned into the mild group(n=72)and the severe group(n=48)according to the severity of their condition.Another 120 healthy puerperas who underwent prenatal check ups and delivered during the same period in our hospital were included as the control group.QRT-PCR was used to detect serum and placental miR-1227-3p and miR-212-3p.The pregnancy outcomes of both groups were recorded,including neonatal weight,1min Apgar score,placental weight and placental volume.Results Serum and placental miR-1227-3p expression levels,neonatal weight,1 min Apgar score,placental weight and placental volume were significantly lower in the study group than those of the control group(P＜0.05),while serum and placental miR-212-3p expression levels were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of miR-1227-3p in serum and placenta of the severe group were obviously lower than those of the mild group(P＜0.05),while the expression level of miR-212-3p was obviously higher than those of the mild group(P＜0.05).The expression levels of miR-1227-3p in serum and placenta were positively correlated with neonatal weight,1 min Apgar score,placental weight and placental volume,and the expression levels of miR-212-3p in serum and placenta were negatively correlated with the above indicators(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that elevated serum and placental miR-212-3p levels were risk factors for FGR(P＜0.05),and increased serum and placental miR-1227-3p,neonatal weight,1 min Apgar,placental weight and placental volume were protective factors(P＜0.05).Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis showed that the diagnostic value of combined detection of serum and placenta miR-1227-3p and miR-212-3p levels for FGR was better than that of single diagnosis.Conclusion The combined detection of miR-1227-3p and miR-212-3p in serum and placenta of FGR puerperas has certain value in the clinical diagnosis of FGR.

To improve clinicians' understanding, and to explore the diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy complicated with patent urachus. The clinical symptoms, ultrasound images, and delivery outcome of the pregnancy complicated with patent urachus were reported, and the literature was reviewed. The patient had umbilical leakage as a young child occasionally, the symptom of leakage was not obvious after she was 10 years old, and there was no asymptomatic before pregnancy and in the first and second trimesters. Umbilical leakage was present at gestational 33 weeks, and ultrasound showned a tubular structure (0.7 cm in width) was connected between the top of the bladder and the umbilicus, and there was anechoic areas inside. The pregnancy complicated with patent urachus was diagnosed. The patient was checked regularly, and kept the umbilicus clean and dry. Premature rupture of membranes occured at gestational 39 weeks 4 days. The patient was admitted to the obstetrics department, and she deliveried finally. After delivery, the symptoms of umbilical leakage urine relieved, and an elective resection of abnormal urachus was planned. The patent urachus creates a tube connection between the umbilicus and the anterosuperior wall of the bladder, it was termed an median umbilical ligament at birth as usual, which still communicated with the bladder after birth. The main clinical manifestations were umbilical leak and infection, which were the main diagnostic basis. Ultrasound, CT and MRI were important auxi-liary examination methods.The patients with symptoms in the neonatal and early childhood period were managed actively and had the potential for self resolution, especially for the children younger than 1 year. Therefore, patients under 1 year of age were offered surgery only if they had recurrent infections or failed to selfresolve. It is recommended to remove abnormal urachus before pregnancy for the women complica-ted with patent urachus. If the patent urachus was found during pregnancy, the umbilicus should be kept clean and dry to avoid infection. The pregnancy complicated with patient urachus is not contraindicated to vaginal delivery.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a common and critical disease in the neonatus characterized by persistent pulmonary hypertension and hypoxemia, with a high mortality.Except for intubation and ventilator support, recognized treatments often require the application of pulmonary vasodilators drugs, such as inhaled nitric oxide, Sildenafil, etc, each with its own advantages.In recent years, L-citrulline, as a potential therapeutic option, has shown huge potential in PPHN treatment.The purpose of this review is to explore the possible potential of L-citrulline in the treatment of PPHN in terms of therapeutic mechanism, pharmacokinetics, current status of research and future perspectives.

Objective: To analyze the predictive value of lactate/albumin(L/A) ratio in neonatal infants with septic shock. Methods: The data of 185 neonatal infants with sepsis from January to December 2017 were retrospective analyzed in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital.The data were divided into low level of L/A group(L/A<0.1), medium level of L/A group(0.1≤L/A<0.2) and high level of L/A group(L/A≥0.2)according to L/A ratio level within 24 hours of sepsis.The clinical features, related laboratory indications and prognosis among the 3 groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the effects of various factors on the occurrence of neonatal septic shock.Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the early predictive va-lue of related indicators for neonatal septic shock. Results: A total of 185 neonatal infants with sepsis were collected.There were 88 cases in low level of L/A group, 64 cases in medium level of L/A group and 33 cases in high level of L/A group.There were no significant difference in gender, gestational age, birth weight, 1 and 5-minute Apgar scores, small for gestational age, use of pulmonary surfactant, maternal preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal fever and severe meconium stained (all P>0.05). There were no statistical differences among three groups in C-reactive protein, white blood cell count, neutrophil count and proportion, leucine count and proportion and platelet count(all P>0.05). Compared with low and medium level of L/A groups, the high level of L/A group had higher proportion of cesarean section, higher procalcitonin and lactate, severe intracranial hemorrhage, periventricular leucomalacia, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, septic shock and the dead; low level of L/A group had higher proportion of maternal premature rupture of membranes>24 hours, albumin, pH or base excess(BE), and there were statistically significant differences in all of those(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypoalbuminemia, hyperlacticemia, decreased pH and L/A≥0.1 were independent predictors for neonatal septic shock.L/A more than 0.114 within 24 hours was associated with neonatal septic shock, with a sensitivity of 76.90% and specificity of 81.30%. Conclusions The increased of L/A within 24 hours of sepsis can be used as an independent risk factor for predicting septic shock in neonatal infants.

Objective? To explore the effects of perioperative blood glucose management in orthopedic diabetic patients. Methods? Totally 75 diabetic patients receiving surgery and requiring blood glucose monitoring 7 times a day in the Department of Orthopedics, He'nan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2017 to February 2018 were included in the control group, who received blood glucose management using conventional methods. Another 79 patients of the same type hospitalized between March and June 2018 were selected into the observation group for whom a blood glucose team was built and an intervention protocol of perioperative blood glucose management was developed. Self-efficacy, blood glucose detection missing rate, patient's satisfaction and average length of hospital stay of the two groups were analyzed before and after intervention. Results? The self-efficacy score of the observation group was higher than that of the control group after intervention;the blood-glucose detection missing rate was lower in the observation group than in the control group; the average length of hospital stay was shorter in the observation group than in the control group; and patient's satisfaction was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P＜ 0.05). Conclusions? Blood glucose management in orthopedic diabetic patients helps to optimize the blood glucose management process, improve patients' self-management capability, reduce diabetic patients' operative risk, guarantee patients' safety, and improve the quality of medical service.

Objective? To optimize the emergency process with the healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) tool among lumbar surgery patients with muscle weakness so as to shorten the first-aid time, standardize doctor-nurse behavior and improve the timely cure rate. Methods? The emergency process from muscle weakness to hematoma evacuation in operating room was optimized based on the HFMEA. From June 2016 to May 2017, a total of 6 lumbar surgery patients with muscle weakness were in control group before optimization. From June 2017 to May 2018, a total of 7 lumbar surgery patients with muscle weakness were in experimental group after optimization. We compared the time from muscle weakness to effective cure of patients between two groups, and the detection rate for lumbar surgery patients with muscle weakness within 6 hours by nurses as well as the misjudgment probability for muscular strength assessment after lumbar surgery by nurses. Results? After implementing optimal process, the time from muscle weakness to effective cure of patients decreased from (23.78±1.95) h to (5.37±0.78) h. The detection rate for lumbar surgery patients with muscle weakness within 6 hours by nurses increased from 33.3% to 100.0%. The misjudgment probability for muscular strength assessment after lumbar surgery by nurses decreased from 12.2% to 4.6%. Conclusions? The application of HFMEA tool can optimize the muscular strength assessment management process for patients after lumbar surgery, standardize doctor-nurse behavior, shorten the first-aid time of muscle weakness and improve the detection rate for muscle weakness within 6 hours so as to guarantee the safety of patients.

Objective To explore the application effects of the clinical nursing muscle strength assessment record for patients with spinal cord injury based on the color separation Symbol Marking Method. Methods According to the neural classification standard of spinal cord injury formulated by the American Spinal Cord Injury Association, the main 10 groups of key muscles innervated by the motor function of spinal cord were sequentially set from top to bottom and from left to right. Different colors were used to distinguish the base plates of left and right limbs, and a special muscle strength evaluation record sheet was designed and made for patients with spinal cord injury. A total of 40 nurses for the Spinal Surgery Department of He'nan People's Hospital were recruited as the research subjects, and divided into study group and control group with 20 cases in each. 60 patients with spinal cord injury who were admitted to the spinal ward from June 2016 to December 2016 in this department were selected as the objects of assessment. The self-made muscle strength assessment record was applied in the study group, while the conventional writing method were applied in the control group. The rate of error evaluation, the rate of missing evaluation, the time of evaluation record were compared between the two groups,evaluate the satisfaction of study group nurses. Results In the study group, the rate of missing evaluation was lower than that in the control group (P＜ 0.05), and the time of recording in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference between the two groups on error evaluation (P ＞ 0.05). 95% of nursing staff in the study group were willing to use muscular strength assessment record, with a high satisfaction. Conclusions Muscle strength assessment records based on the color separation area symbol method can reduce the error rate, save the recording time, and improve the satisfaction of nurses. It also standardizes the working process and recording standards of nurses.
