Objective To construct an intervention programme for breastfeeding among mothers of infants with congenital heart disease and to verify its effect.Methods Taking the capability-opportunity-motivation-behaviour model as the theoretical basis,the first draft of the intervention programme was formed through literature search and semi-structured interviews,and 8 experts in the relevant fields were selected to conduct expert validation and determine the content of the program.By the consecutive sampling method,infants and their mothers who attended the cardiothoracic disease clinic of a tertiary-level children's specialist hospital in Shanghai from 4 May to 24 June 2023,with a day-old age of≤14 d and a confirmed diagnosis of CHD,were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into an experimental group and a control group,with 16 cases in each group,by the method of randomized grouping by district.The experimental group received breastfeeding intervention for mothers of infants with CHD on the basis of routine care;the control group received routine care and basic disease education and breastfeeding counselling.At 1 and 3 months of the infants with CHD,the 2 groups were compared in terms of exclusive breastfeeding rate,daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,weight for age Z-score and height for age Z-score.Results A total of 1 round of expert validation was conducted,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 100%and an expert authority coefficient of 0.94.The breastfeeding intervention programme for mothers of infants with CHD is a comprehensive approach that encompasses 3 key dimensions,including capability,opportunity,and motivation.The programme is designed to enhance mothers'ability to recognize feeding signals,master breastfeeding techniques,and maintain successful breastfeeding practices.It also addresses common breastfeeding challenges and provides effective solutions.Additionally,it includes strategies for breastmilk management and fosters family support for breastfeeding.The programme offers medical information support on breastfeeding and aims to elevate mothers'understanding of its benefits.It involves systematic monitoring and recording of breastfeeding volumes,as well as thorough assessments and guidance on infant growth and development,including but not limited to the 10 specific entries related to the infant's progress.The results of the generalized estimating equations and repeated measures analysis of variance revealed statistically significant between-group differences(P<0.05)in the rates of exclusive breastfeeding,the proportion of daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,and the weight-for-age(WAZ)and height-for-age(HAZ)z-scores of infants across the 2 groups at various time points.The results of simple effect analysis showed that the differences in exclusive breastfeeding rate,the proportion of daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,WAZ and HAZ between the 2 groups before intervention were not statistically significant(P>0.05).At the age of 3 months of the infants after the intervention,the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.003).The proportion of daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds for infants in the intervention group at 1 and 3 months of age was higher than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).At 3 months of age,WAZ of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.037);HAZ of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 1 and 3 months of age after intervention,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The breastfeeding intervention programme for mothers of infants with CHD,constructed on the basis of the COM-B model in this study,was comprehensive,feasible and acceptable.Implementation of the programme has potential positive effects on increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates and the daily human milk as a percentage of total feeds,and may also have a positive impact on WAZ and HAZ of infants.

Neonatal skin care is still an important aspect of newborn care. At present, although there are nursing standards for various types of neonatal skin problems, there are different reports on complete evidence-based neonatal skin care practices. The American Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) developed and published the fourth edition of the Evidence- based Clinical Practice Guideline for Neonatal Skin Care in 2018. The guideline gives detailed guidance on the assessment of neonatal skin, identification of risk of neonatal skin damage, intervention of neonatal skin care, method of promoting neonatal skin development, and treatment of neonatal skin damage. However, nurses in China know little about this guideline. In order to facilitate nurses' understanding and application of this guideline to guide clinical practice, the content of this guideline is specially interpreted.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a child featuring delayed intellectual development.
METHODS:
The child and his parents were subjected to conventional G-banding karyotyping and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) analysis. Suspected copy number variations (CNVs) were verified in both parents.
RESULTS:
No karyotypic abnormality was found with the child and his parents. SNP-array results for both parents were normal. The child was found to harbor a de novo 172 kb deletion at 18q21.2 with a physical position of 52 957 042-53 129 237. The deletion only involved one OMIM gene, namely TCF4, resulting in removal of its exons 6 to 8.
CONCLUSION
The SNP-array assay has facilitated with the diagnosis of this child. Deletion of 18q21.2 region probably accounts for the Pitt-Hopkins syndrome (PTHS) in this patient.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical value of the neonatal hearing combined with deafness gene screening.METHODSFrom February 2014 to August 2015, 1933 newborns were included in the study. We analyzed the effects of combined screening of hearing and deafness gene.RESULTSAmong all the 1933 neonates, 71.34% (1379/1933) passed and 28.66% (554/1933) failed the initial hearing screening.The hearing impairment rate was 4.14‰ (8/1933). Genetic screening mutation rate was counted. GJB2 mutation rate was 28.97‰ (56/1933). SLC26A4 mutation rate was 13.97‰ (27/1933). GJB3 mutation rate was 6.21‰ (12/1933). Mitochondrial 12 S rRNA gene mutation rate was 1.03‰ (2/1933). 1 case of 235 delc homozygous mutation did not pass the initial hearing screening and lost to follow-up rescreening. 2 cases of 12 S rRNA 1555A>G homogeneous mutations passed early hearing screening. 8 cases of auditory handicaps were all normal.CONCLUSIONDeafness gene screening can make up for the deficiencies of the universal newborn hearing screening. Joint use of both of them should complement each other and play the biggest role.

OBJECTIVETo deepen the understanding of clinical manifestations and treatment of patients with positive lupus anticoagulant (LAC).
METHODSThe clinical data of 2 patients were analyzed and related literature were reviewed.
RESULTSCase 1, a 31-year-old female, diagnosed as lupus anticoagulant positive, secondary to undifferentiated connective tissue disease, was presented with menorrhagia and thrombocytopenia. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) was positive 1:1000 (homogeneous type) with anti-double stranded DNA positive, and dRVVT LA1/LA2 was 3.4. Coagulation function was alleviated after treatment with glucocorticoid and total glucosides of paeony. Case 2, a 59-year-old female was presented with gingival bleeding, hematuria with the level of F II:C 13%. dRVVT LA1/LA2 was 2.0. Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) was positive 1:1000 (type of cytoplasmic granule), anti-double stranded DNA was positive. The patient was diagnosed as hypoprothrombinemia-lupus anticoagulant syndrome (LAHS) and acquired coagulation factor deficiency. The signs of hemorrhage were alleviated after treatment with methylprednisolone 40 mg/day and cyclophosphamide, while the level of F II:C was below normal.
CONCLUSIONSymptoms of patients with positive LAC are variable. The diagnosis relies on history of disease and laboratory test. Currently, there is no standardized treatment. Cases of LAHS should be thoroughly investigated for any known causes and related disorder.
