Objective:To analyze the risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in very preterm infants(VPI), and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of BPD in VPI.Methods:A prospective multicenter study was designed to collect the clinical data of VPI in department of neonatology of 28 hospitals in 7 regions from September 2019 to December 2020.According to the continuous oxygen dependence at 28 days after birth, VPI were divided into non BPD group and BPD group, and the risk factors of BPD in VPI were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 514 cases of VPI including 1 364 cases without BPD and 1 150 cases with BPD were enrolled.The incidence of BPD was 45.7%.The smaller the gestational age and weight, the higher the incidence of BPD( P<0.001). Compared with non BPD group, the average birth age, weight and cesarean section rate in BPD group were lower, and the incidence of male infants, small for gestational age and 5-minute apgar score≤7 were higher( P<0.01). In BPD group, the incidences of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS), hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, retinopathy of prematurity, feeding intolerance, extrauterine growth restriction, grade Ⅲ~Ⅳ intracranial hemorrhage, anemia, early-onset and late-onset sepsis, nosocomial infection, parenteral nutrition-associated cholestasis were higher( P<0.05), the use of pulmonary surfactant(PS), postnatal hormone exposure, anemia and blood transfusion were also higher, and the time of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation, oxygen use and total hospital stay were longer( P<0.001). The time of starting enteral nutrition, cumulative fasting days, days of reaching total enteral nutrition, days of continuous parenteral nutrition, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) total calorie, days of reaching 110 kcal/(kg·d) oral calorie were longer and the breastfeeding rate was lower in BPD group than those in non BPD group( P<0.001). The cumulative doses of amino acid and fat emulsion during the first week of hospitalization were higher in BPD group( P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that NRDS, invasive mechanical ventilation, age of reaching total enteral nutrition, anemia and blood transfusion were the independent risk factors for BPD in VPI, and older gestational age was the protective factor for BPD. Conclusion:Strengthening perinatal management, avoiding premature delivery and severe NRDS, shortening the time of invasive mechanical ventilation, paying attention to enteral nutrition management, reaching whole intestinal feeding as soon as possible, and strictly mastering the indications of blood transfusion are very important to reduce the incidence of BPD in VPI.

Objective::To evaluate the agreement and reliability of intrapartum nonreasurring cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation and prediction of neonatal acidemia by obstetricians working in different centers.Methods::A retrospective cohort study involving two tertiary hospitals (The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and Perking University Third Hospital) was conducted between 30 th September 2018 and 1 st April 2019. Six obstetricians from two hospitals with three levels of experience (junior, medium, and senior) reviewed 100 nonreassuring fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings from 1 hour before the onset of abnormalities until delivery. Each reviewer determined the FHR pattern, the baseline, variability, and presence of acceleration, deceleration, sinusoidal pattern, and predicted whether neonatal acidemia and abnormal umbilical arterial pH < 7.1 would occur. Inter-observer agreement was assessed using the proportions of agreement (Pa) and the proportion of specific agreement (Pa for each category). Reliability was evaluated with the kappa statistic (k-Light’s kappa for n raters) and Gwet’s AC1 statistic. Results::Good inter-observer agreement was found in evaluation of most variables (Pa>0.5), with the exception of early deceleration (Pa= 0.39, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.36,0.43). Reliability was also good among most variables (AC1 > 0.40), except for acceleration, early deceleration, and prediction of neonatal acidemia (AC1 = 0.17, 0.10, and 0.25, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences among the three groups, except in the identification of accelerations (Pa = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.83,0.95; Pa= 0.50, 95% CI: 0.41,0.60, and Pa= 0.35, 95% CI: 0.25,0.43 in junior, medium and senior groups, respectively) and the prediction of neonatal acidemia (Pa= 0.52, 0.52, and 0.62 in junior, medium and senior groups, respectively), where agreement was highest and lowest in the junior-level group, respectively. The accuracy and sensitivity of the prediction for umbilical artery pH < 7.1 were similar among the three groups, but the specificity was higher in the senior groups (93.68% vs. 92.53% vs. 98.85% in junior, medium and senior groups, P= 0.015). Conclusion::Although we found a good inter-observer agreement in the evaluation of the most basic CTG features and FHR category statistically, it was insufficient to meet the clinical requirements for "no objection" interpretation for FHR tracings. Further specialized training is needed for standardized interpretation of intrapartum FHR tracings.

Objective:To investigate the effect of LINC00261 on the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and tumor formation and its underlying mechanism in nude mice.Methods:qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of miR-620 and LINC00261 in radiosensitive and radioresistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues. After the 6-10B and HNE-3 cells were irradiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy 60Coγ-ray, the relative expression levels of miR-620 and LINC00261 were measured by qRT-PCR. After over-expression or silencing of LINC00261 and inhibition of miR-620 expression, the cells were irradiated with 4 Gy 60Coγ-ray. Clone formation assay was performed to detect the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis. Western blot was utilized to detect the expression levels of Cleaved caspase-3 and Cleaved caspase-9 proteins. Luciferase reporter assay was adopted to analyze the targeting relationship between LINC00261 and miR-620. The changes in tumor formation were observed in tumor-bearing nude mice. Results:Compared with the radiosensitive tissues, the expression of LINC00261 was significantly down-regulated, whereas that of miR-620 was significantly up-regulated in radioresistant tissues (both P<0.05). After different doses of irradiation, the expression of LINC00261 was significantly down-regulated, whereas that of miR-620 was significantly up-regulated in 6-10B and HNE-3 cells (both P<0.05). After overexpression of LINC00261 and interference with miR-620 expression, the expression levels of Cleaved caspase-3 and Cleaved caspase-9 were significantly up-regulated (both P<0.05), the cell apoptosis rate was remarkably increased ( P<0.05) and the cell survival fraction was significantly enhanced in 6-10B and HNE-3 cells ( P<0.05). LINC00261 targetedly regulated the expression of miR-620. Overexpression of miR-620 could attenuate the radiosensitization and pro-apoptotic effects of LINC00261 overexpression on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. LINC00261 overexpression could significantly reduce the tumor formation weight of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in nude mice ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Overexpression of LINC00261 can increase the radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells probably by targeted regulation of miR-620 expression.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between 21-gene recurrence score (RS) and clinicopathological characteristics of patients with Lumina type breast cancer, and to explore its significance in individualized treatment.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 59 patients with surgical resection and pathological diagnosis of Lumina type breast cancer in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from May 2018 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression of 21 gene and RS was calculated. According to the 21-gene RS, the patients were divided into low recurrence risk group (RS < 18 points), intermediate recurrence risk group (RS 18-31 points) and high recurrence risk group (RS > 31 points). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were made to evaluate the correlations between different recurrence risk and clinicopathological characteristics of patients and their influence on the choice of adjuvant chemotherapy.Results:Based on the 21-gene RS, 29 patients were in low recurrence risk group, 22 cases were in intermediate recurrence risk group, and 8 cases were in high recurrence risk group. Single-factor analysis showed that age ( P = 0.012), maximum mass diameter ( P = 0.031), histological grade ( P = 0.036), progesterone receptor (PR) level ( P = 0.015), Ki-67 positive index ( P = 0.049) and molecular typing ( P = 0.010) were influencing factors of 21-gene RS recurrence risk. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age and Ki-67 positive index were negatively correlated with 21-gene RS recurrence risk (both P < 0.05). After grouping according to the 21-gene RS, 17 patients in the intermediate recurrence risk group (according to the traditional postoperative recurrence risk grouping method for breast cancer) were classified as low recurrence risk group, and 4 patients in the low recurrence risk group were classified as intermediate recurrence risk group ( χ2 = 4.535, P = 0.033). After grouping based on 21-gene RS, the number of patients who needed chemotherapy in individualized treatment decreased. Of the 17 cases, 11 cases did not undergo postoperative chemotherapy, and the remaining patients received chemotherapy. The postoperative follow-up period was 11-22 months. As of March 2020, there was no recurrence or disease progress. Conclusion:The 21-gene RS can provide objective basis for the individualized precise treatment and prognosis prediction for patients with early-stage Lumina type breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the value of serum miR-143 level combined with MRI in predicting the early response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 85 patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer underwent conventional MRI, intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI), and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) before CCRT. The biopsy tissues and serum samples were collected. The differential expression of miRNA in the biopsy tissues was determined by microarray chip. The expression level of miR-143 in the serum samples was analyzed by qRT-PCR. All patients were divided into the non-residual and residual tumor groups according to post-treatment MRI. Pre-treatment clinical factors, MRI parameters and miR-143 between two groups were statistically analyzed by the univariate and multivariate analyses. The optimal thresholds and predictive performance for post-treatment incidence of residual tumors were estimated by drawing the ROC curve.Results:At one month after CCRT, there were 52 patients in the non-residual tumor group and 33 patients in the residual tumor group. In the residual tumor group, pre-treatment FIGO staging, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), D and V e were significantly higher (all P<0.05), whereas K trans value was significantly lower ( P<0.001) when compared to those in the non-residual tumor group. The miRNA array analysis showed that there were 16 miRNAs with differential expression levels between two groups (all P<0.05). Among them, the increase of miR-143 was the most significant in the residual tumor group. Compared with the residual tumor group, the expression level of serum miR-143 was significantly down-regulated in the non-residual tumor group ( P=0.002). Compared with the SiHa cells, the expression level of miR-143 in the SiHa-R cells was significantly up-regulated ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that only miR-143, D, K trans and V e were the independent prognostic factors. The combination of multi-parametric MRI and miR-143 exhibited the highest predictive performance (AUC=0.975), with a sensitivity of 84.8% and a specificity of 96.2%. Conclusion:The combination of multi-parametric MRI with miR-143 further improves the predictive performance for residual tumors after CCRT, which contributes to the personalized treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors for rebleeding after gastroscopy in patients with liver cirrhosis and esophagogastric variceal bleeding. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of the patients with liver cirrhosis and esophagogastric variceal bleeding who were hospitalized in Tianjin Third Central Hospital from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018, and according to the presence or absence of rebleeding and bleeding time, the patients were divided into non-bleeding group ( n =148) and bleeding group ( n =119). The risk factors for rebleeding after gastroscopy were analyzed. The t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The Cox regression model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP), fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) scores in predicting rebleeding after gastroscopy, and MedCalc was used to compare the area under the ROC curve (AUC). Results A total of 267 patients with liver cirrhosis and esophagogastric variceal bleeding were enrolled, among whom 53 (19.9%) had liver cancer. A total of 119 patients suffered from rebleeding, with an overall rebleeding rate of 44.6% and a median time to rebleeding of 11.0 (0-39.0) months. The univariate Cox regression analysis showed that liver cancer (hazard ratio [ HR ]=0.377, P < 0.001), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ( HR =1.002, P =0.025), serum Na ( HR =0.935, P =0.004), and FIB-4 ( HR =1.030, P =0.049) were associated with rebleeding, and the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that liver cancer ( HR =0.357, P < 0.001), AST ( HR =1.003, P =0.030), prothrombin time (PT) ( HR =0.196, P =0.001), CTP score ( HR =1.289, P =0.014), FIB-4 ( HR =1.062, P =0.033), and ALBI score ( HR =0.433, P =0.011) were independent risk factors for rebleeding. CTP, FIB-4, and ALBI scores had an AUC of 0.711 (95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 0.647-0.776), 0.705 (95% CI : 0.640-0.770), and 0.730 (95% CI : 0.667-0.793), respectively, in predicting rebleeding. There was no significant difference in AUC between CTP, FIB-4, and ALBI scores ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Liver cancer, AST, PT, CTP score, FIB-4 score, and ALBI score are associated with rebleeding after gastroscopy in patients with liver cirrhosis and esophagogastric variceal bleeding, among which CTP, FIB-4, and ALBI scores have a good value in predicting rebleeding outcome, while there is no significant difference in predictive ability between them.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD)combined with orthostatic hypotension (OH)and the impact of the condition on cognitive function.Methods:A total of 210 PD patients admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital were consecutively enrolled.Demographic data and clinical characteristics were recorded.Patients were divided into the PD with OH (PD-OH)group and the PD without OH (PD-NOH)group based on blood pressure values measured in both the supine and upright positions.Cognitive function of PD patients was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)scales.Results:Of 210 PD patients, 68 (32.4%)had OH.Patients in the PD-OH group had a higher mean age (69.7±8.9 years vs.62.1±11.3 years), longer disease duration [5.0 (3.0-8.0)years vs.4.0 (2.0-6.0)years], a higher incidence of diabetes (30.9% vs.17.4%), higher levels of fasting blood glucose (5.3±1.1 mmol/L vs.5.0±1.0 mmol/L)and glycated hemoglobin A1c (6.1±0.9% vs.5.7±0.7%), and more advanced Hoehn-Yahr staging [stage 2.5 (2.0-3.0) vs.stage 2.0 (1.5-2.5)]than the PD-NOH group ( P<0.05). The total scores of the MMSE and MoCA scales were lower in the PD-OH group than in the PD-NOH group (25.1±4.9 scores vs.26.8±4.0 scores, 19.4±5.4 scores vs.21.4±5.3 scores, P<0.05). A comparison of each cognitive domain of the MMSE scale between the two groups revealed that the scores of attention and calculation (3.7±1.7 scores vs.4.2±1.3 scores), delayed recall (2.1±1.0 scores vs.2.5±0.8 scores)and visuospatial ability (0.6±0.5 scores vs.0.7±0.5 scores)were lower in the PD-OH group than in the PD-NOH group ( P<0.05). A comparison of each cognitive domain of the MoCA scale between the two groups displayed that the scores of visuospatial and executive function (2.4±1.6 scores vs.2.9±1.7 scores)and delayed recall (1.3±1.4 scores vs.2.3±1.6 scores)were lower in the PD-OH group than in the PD-NOH group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.061, 95% CI: 1.022-1.102, P=0.002)and score of delayed recall of the MoCA scale ( OR=0.690, 95% CI: 0.498-0.955, P=0.025)were independent related factors for PD-OH. Conclusions:Compared with patients without OH, PD-OH patients are older and have a longer duration, increased disease severity, and a higher incidence of and more serious diabetes mellitus.Age is an independent related factor for PD-OH.Cognitive function is significantly impaired in PD-OH patients, and delayed recall is an independent related factor for PD-OH.
