BACKGROUND:Gait analysis,as a radiation-free dynamic assessment method,may be able to assist imaging to evaluate patients with scoliosis,thereby reducing radiation exposure.OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation between gait parameters and imaging parameters in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,and preliminarily explore the potential mechanism through OpenSim simulation modeling.METHODS:Twenty adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients aged 10-18 years with Cobb angle of 10°-45° were selected as adolescent idiopathic scoliosisgroup. The control group was normal children of the same age and the same body mass index range,and a total of 40 subjects were included. The differences in spatiotemporal parameter,kinematic parameters,dynamic parameters,and gait deviation index of the two groups were compared to explore the correlation between pathological gait and coronal balance. The related mechanisms were preliminarily studied.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The comparison of gait parameters between groups showed that the percentage of bilateral support phase and double support phase increased in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,and the percentage of bilateral swing phase decreased (P<0.05). The maximum adduction angle of the left hip joint of patients in the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis group was greater than that of the control group,and the maximum abduction angle of the bilateral hip joints was significantly less than that of the control group (P<0.05). The ankle joints of the two groups when the bilateral heels initially touched the ground;the difference between angles was significant (P<0.05). The peak power of right hip flexor muscle group in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was significantly decreased when they pushed off the ground (P<0.05). (2) The results of the correlation study showed that the maximum abductive angle of the right hip joint was significantly positively correlated with the Cobb angle (r=0.552,P=0.012),and the right peak power of right hip flexor muscle and C7 lateral offset were significantly negatively correlated (r=-0.475,P=0.034). There was a significant positive correlation between ankle angle and lateral pelvic tilt when left foot followed the ground (r=0.476,P=0.034). (3) The simulation results of muscle length showed that the change of muscle fiber length of gluteal medium muscle in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was significantly reduced (P<0.05). The change of muscle fiber length of the bilateral internal oblique muscle was significantly reduced in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients (P<0.05). Comparing the muscle fiber length of the two groups when foot followed the ground,it was found that the muscle fiber length of the calf triceps of the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was significantly shorter when foot followed the ground (P<0.05). (4) The results showed that the postural stability control of the trunk of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients was decreased,which was manifested as slow step frequency,increased percentage of double support phase and decreased percentage of swing phase. The common pattern of low foot striking pattern is caused by bilateral Achilles tendon tension. In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients,the ability of hip flexor muscle to do work is decreased,which may be related to joint angular velocity and main bend direction.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2, also called IMP2) plays an essential role in the development and maturation of germ cells and embryos and is a candidate gene for goat litter size, based on a previous genome-wide selective sweep analysis. In this study, the mRNA expression level of IGF2BP2 was found to be significantly higher in a single-lamb group than in a multi-lamb group. Insertions/deletions (indels) within the goat IGF2BP2 gene, including P4-Ins-13bp and P5-Del-12bp, were verified in 918 Shaanbei White Cashmere (SBWC) female goats. The minor allelic frequencies (MAFs) of P4-Ins-13bp and P5-Del-12bp loci were 0.349 and 0.295, respectively. Analysis using the Chi-square (χ2) test showed that the genotype (χ2=14.479, P=0.006) distribution of P4-Ins-13bp was significantly different between the single-lamb and multi-lamb groups. Correlation analysis demonstrated that P4-Ins-13bp was significantly associated with goat litter size (P=0.022), and individual goats with the homozygous deletion/deletion (DD) genotype produced more litters than other goats. Therefore, considered as a potential molecular marker significantly related to lambing traits, the P4-Ins-13bp mutation of the goat IGF2BP2 gene can be used in goat breeding with practical molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) to optimize female reproduction and improve economic efficiency in the goat industry.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare Ursolic acid (UA)/Pluronic F127 (PF127)/TPGS-doxorubicin (DOX) mixed nanomicelles, and to characterize it and study its in vitro release behavior. METHODS: UA/PF127/TPGS nanomicelles were prepared by thin film hydration method. Using encapsulation efficiency of UA as index, combined with the results of single factor tests, L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize drug dosage of UA, molar ratio of PF127 to TPGS, hydration temperature and hydration volume, validation test was performed. On the basis of succinylated TPGS, TPGS-DOX was synthesized and mixed with UA/PF127/TPGS to prepare UA/PF127/TPGS-DOX mixed nanomicelles, the appearance, particle size and critical micelle concentration (PF127/TPGS) were investigated. The drug release behavior was examined by dialysis bag diffusion method. RESULTS: The optimal preparation technology of UA/PF127/TPGS nanomicelles was as follows as drug dosage of UA 8 mg, molar ratio of PF127 to TPGS 3 ∶ 7, hydration temperature 50 ℃, hydration volume 4 mL. Average encapsulation efficiency of UA in nanomicelles was 89.00% (RSD=0.43%, n=3). The prepared UA/PF127/TPGS-DOX mixed nanomicelles solution was clear with opalescence. The nanomicelles were spherical and uniform in size; average particle size was (115.00±9.42) nm; critical micelle concentration of PF127/TPGS (molecular ratio 3 ∶ 7) was 0.001 3%. The in vitro drug release of UA and DOX in the mixed nanomicelles was significantly slowed down, compared with raw materials or substance control. The drug release process of the two drugs in the nanomicelles conformed to Weibull equation. CONCLUSIONS: UA/PF127/TPGS-DOX mixed nanomicelles are successfully prepared with uniform particle size, good stability and good sustained-release effect.

Objective To survey the current situation and explore the association between empathic ability and job adjustment disorder of pediatric nurses. Methods The Jefferson scale of empathy health professionals and job adjustment disorder scale were used for the survey among 189 pediatric nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the association between empathic ability and job adjustment disorder of pediatric nurses. Results The total score of empathic ability of pediatric nurses was (76.32 ±5.03), the score of their job adjustment disorder was (23.69 ±6.03). Their empathic ability and its dimensions were significantly negatively related with job adjustment disorder (P <0.01). Conclusions The empathic ability of pediatric nurses was at a medium to low level, job adjustment disorder was at a medium to high level. The higher level of pediatric nurses' empathic ability, the lower level of job adjustment disorder is. Hospital staff should take measures to improve pediatric nurses' empathic ability, and the pediatric nurses themselves should also actively cultivate their own perception, and improve the empathic ability so as to better acclimatize themselves to pediatric nursing job and reduce the degree of job adjustment disorder.

Objective To assess right ventricular systolic function using real-time three-dimensional right ventricular quantitative analysis (RT-3DRVQ) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) complicating left heart failure. Methods Sixty-eight patients diagnosed with CAD and left heart failure were selected as the case group.Among them,38 individuals were associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) and 30 were without. Another 30 healthy people were recruited as control group. Conventional echocardiographic parameters,as well free wall and septum longitudinal strains of right ventricle were evaluated in all subjects. Results Patients with left heart failure had significant lower strain values than control group( P <0.001).In case group,three-dimensional derived right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (3D-FWLS) had strongly correlation with right ventricular ejection fraction ( r = -0.877, P <0.001). The patients with PH had also significantly reduced 3D-FWLS values compared with patients without PH ( P < 0.01),and the area under the curve was 0.726 using ROC method to predict patients with PH.Conclusions RT-3DRVQ could be recognized as a good technology to evaluate right ventricular systolic function,which would provide valuable information for clinical decision-making.
