AIM:To investigate the association between long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)growth arrest-specific transcript 5(GAS5)genetic polymorphism and the onset of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).METHODS:The case-control study was performed,selecting 236 PCOS patients diagnosed at the Reproductive Medicine Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Youjiang University for Nationalities from May 2018 to May 2019 as the case group,while 277 healthy women matched in sex and age during the same period were selected as the control group.The iMLDR single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)was used to detected the genotypes of rs145204276 I/D,rs55829688 C/T and rs6790 G/A in GAS5 gene.The correlation between GAS5 gene polymorphism and PCOS was analyzed using logistic regression.RESULTS:The difference of GAS5 gene rs145204276 I/D polymorphism had statistical significance between control group and PCOS group.Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the I/I genotype,the I/D and D/D genotypes,as well as the dominant model I/D+D/D,had a reduced risk of PCOS[I/D vs I:OR(95%CI)=0.61(0.42,0.88),P=0.009;D vs I/I:OR(95%CI)=0.44(0.23,0.84),P=0.013;I/D+D vs I/I:OR(95%CI)=0.57(0.40,0.81),P=0.002].Compared with the I allele,the D allele significantly reduced the risk of PCOS[D vs I:OR(95%CI)=0.62(0.47,0.82),P=0.001).There was no statistically significant difference in the polymorphism of rs55829688 C/T and rs6790 G/A between control group and PCOS group(P＞0.05).The combined analysis of haplotypes showed that the difference of D-T-A haplo-type distribution was statistically significant between control group and PCOS group[OR(95%CI)=0.61(0.45,0.84),P=0.002].CONCLUSION:The polymorphism of GAS5 gene rs145204276 I/D may be associated with genetic suscepti-bility to PCOS,and individuals carrying the D allele may have a reduced risk of developing PCOS.

Objective To investigate current status in nasal injury caused by nasal continuous positive airway pressure(nCPAP)in neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)and its influencing factors so as to provide a basis for clinical nursing.Methods Data between October 2022 and March 2024 were collected from 268 neonates who underwent nCPAP in NICU of our hospital.The number of newborn nasal injury was recorded and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors associated with nasal injury caused by nCPAP in NICU neonates.Results The incidence of nasal injury in the 268 neonates with nCPAP was 19.40%(52/268).Risk factors that associated with nasal injury included gestational age≤32 weeks,birth weight<1500g,frequency of sedative use within 24 hours≥2 times,forced body position,incubator humidity>65%,lethargy/coma,history of invasive ventilation,neonatal skin risk assessment scale score≥13 points before nCPAP,and with nCPAP≥8 days(all P<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of nasal injury in NICU neonates with nCPAP is high with many influencing factors.Preventive measures should be taken according to the identified risk factors in order to reduce the incidence of nasal injury in neonates with nCPAP.

After the full implementation of Diagnosis-Intervention Packet(DIP)payment,driven by the dual mode of public welfare and economy,disease cost accounting,as a key link,promotes the transformation of hospitals from extensive income-driven development mode to refined operation management.Through literature analysis,it compares the characteristics,advantages and limitations of various methods of disease cost accounting.Combined with the current situation of case hospital cost accounting and the dilemma of disease cost accounting,the parameter distribution method combined with the service unit superposition method is used to realize the medical business cost and medical total cost accounting of the DIP disease in the case hospital.In addition,how to better implement DIP disease cost accounting in county-level public hospitals is discussed and suggested,in order to further improve the same type of hospitals and speed up the application of disease cost accounting results.

Objectives:To investigate the predictive value of the hemoglobin to serum creatinine ratio(Hb/SCr)for all-cause mortality within 3 years after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods:A total of 687 STEMI patients who successfully underwent the first PCI at the Department of Cardiology,Gansu Provincial People's Hospital,from June 2016 to June 2020 were retrospectively enrolled.Patients were divided into survival and non-survival groups according to their vital status at 3 years post-PCI.Cox regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors of all-cause mortality.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were constructed to evaluate the predictive value of Hb/SCr for all-cause mortality,and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare cumulative survival rates between subgroups stratified by Hb/SCr levels.Results:The median follow-up duration was 37(25,50)months.Among the 663 patients(96.51%)with complete follow-up data,41 cases(6.18%)experiencing all-cause death.Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that age(HR=1.086,95%CI:1.037-1.137,P=0.000),body mass index(HR=1.195,95%CI:1.128-1.266,P=0.000),fasting blood glucose(HR=1.069,95%CI:1.007-1.135,P=0.030),fibrinogen(HR=1.418,95%CI:1.120-1.795,P=0.004),TIMI flow grade 1(HR=4.968,95%CI:1.194-20.667,P=0.028),TIMI flow grade 2(HR=3.861,95%CI:1.336-11.156,P=0.013),and Hb/SCr(HR=0.858,95%CI:0.766-0.961,P=0.008)were the independent predictors of all-cause mortality.ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the area under the curve(AUC)of Hb/SCr was 0.721(95%CI:0.645-0.798)for predicting all-cause mortality,with a sensitivity of 65.9%and specificity of 71.2%,at the optimal cut-offvalue of 16.627.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with Hb/SCr<16.627 had significantly lower survival rates than those with Hb/SCr≥16.627(log-rank P=0.000).Conclusions:Hb/SCr is an independent predictor of 3-year all-cause mortality in STEMI patients after PCI and this indicator could be used as risk stratification parameter and patients with lower Hb/SCr might benefit comprehensive post-PCI management to improve their outcome.

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the quality of Sanzi powder from different batches based on 12 components quantitative analysis combined with chemical pattern recognition and entropy weight-TOPSIS method.METHODS The contents of 12 components in 15 batches of Sanzi powder(No.S1-S15)were determined by HPLC-MS/MS,such as ethyl gallate,gallic acid,ferulic acid,corilagin,genipin-1-O-β-D-gentiobioside,toosendanin,geniposide,caffeic acid,methyl deacetylated coumarinate,tannic acid,rutin,quercetin.Cluster analysis(CA),principal component analysis(PCA),and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)were conducted on the assay results.Using variable importance projection(VIP)value＞1 and P＜0.05 as the evaluation criteria,the quality differential markers in Sanzi powder were screened.The entropy weight method was used to calculate the weight value,and TOPSIS method was used to rank the quality of 15 batches of Sanzi powder from superior to inferior.RESULTS The contents of the 12 components were 13.494-24.292,2 069.608-3 188.100,1.410-3.616,1 065.030-2 630.584,1 404.704-1 838.078,101.640-354.268,9 193.720-14 777.854,1.240-5.060,148.028-5 541.990,4 261.422-5 607.438,107.560-195.512,2.226-4.192 μg/g,respectively.The results of CA,PCA and OPLS-DA indicated that 15 batches of Sanzi powder could be clustered into two groups.Specifically,batches S3,S7,S10 and S15 were grouped into one category,and remaining batches were grouped into one category.VIP values of geniposide,quercetin,caffeic acid,and methyl deacetylated coumarinate were all greater than 1,with corresponding P-values less than 0.05.The results of the entropy weight-TOPSIS analysis revealed that methyl deacetylate exhibited the smallest information entropy and the highest weight.The relative closeness degrees of samples S3,S7,S10 and S15 ranged from 0.789 to 0.973,while the remaining samples ranged from 0.054 to 0.172.CONCLUSIONS The contents of 12 components in Sanzi powder could be determined accurately by using HPLC-MS/MS technology.Methyl deacetylated coumarinate,geniposide,quercetin and caffeic acid were identified as the quality differential markers.It was found that the overall quality of samples S3,S7,S10 and S15 were superior to that of other batches.Notably,the quality of Gardeniae Fructus decoction pieces emerges as a critical factor in ensuring the consistency of the preparation's quality.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacterial strains isolated from pediatric intensive care units(PICU)in China for better antimicrobial therapy.Methods Clinical isolates were collected from 17 institutions,including tertiary care children's hospitals and pediatric department of tertiary general hospitals in China from January 1,2020 to December 31,2022.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was carried out according to a unified protocol using Kirby-Bauer method or automated systems.Results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)in 2020.Results A total of 10 688 isolates were collected,including gram-positive organisms(39.2％)and gram-negative organisms(60.8％).The top three organisms were S.aureus(13.6％,1 453/10 688),A.baumannii(10.0％,1 067/10 688),and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(9.9％,1 058/10 688).Multi-drug resistant organisms(MDROs)were very common in children.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales(CRE),carbapenem-resistant E.coli,carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae(CRKP),carbapenem-resistant A.baumannii(CRAB),and carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa(CRPA)was 41.1％,19.4％,8.8％,30.9％,67.4％,and 28.8％,respectively.Overall,more than 50％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to cephalosporins,while nearly 25％of Enterobacteriales isolates were resistant to carbapenems.MDROs were highly resistant to commonly used antibiotics.More than 80％of CRE and CRAB strains were resistant to all beta-lactam antibiotics.CRE and CRAB showed low resistance rates to tigecycline and polymyxin.CRPA showed lower resistance rates to piperacillin,beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations than the resistance rates to third and fourth generation cephalosporins.All of the Staphylococcus and Enterococcus isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and tigecycline.None of PRSP strains isolated from meningitis and nonmeningitis samples were resistant to rifampicin,vancomycin,or linezolid.The prevalence of β-lactamase-negative ampicillin-resistant(BLNAR)strains was 43.3％in Haemophilus influenzae.Conclusions MDROs were prevalent in PICU.It is necessary to establish an effective multidisciplinary team(MDT)to control the antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum nidogen-2 (NID-2) and thoracic aortic calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and construct a risk prediction model based on NID-2 to evaluate its value in predicting the risk of the severe thoracic aortic calcification and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in CKD patients.Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. Patients with CKD at stage 3 to 5D in the Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University from January 2022 to January 2023 were enrolled. Syngo.via software was used to evaluate the volume of thoracic aortic calcification, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the level of serum NID-2. According to the volume of thoracic aortic calcification, the patients were divided into three groups: no calcification group, mild calcification group and severe calcification group. The top 25% of the patients were defined as no or mild calcification group, and the latter 75% were defined as severe calcification group. The follow-up period was one year. During the follow-up period, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, as well as all-cause death among the enrolled patients were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of thoracic aortic calcification. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis, a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), calibration curve, and decision curve were employed to evaluate the discrimination, calibration and clinical practicality of the nomogram model.Results:A total of 132 patients were included, with 91 males (68.94%) and age of (56.51±16.37) years. There were 60 CKD 3-5 stage patients (non-dialysis, 45.45%) and 72 CKD 5D patients (dialysis, 54.55%). Serum ND-2 levels differed significantly among healthy individuals, dialysis patients and non-dialysis patients ( H=70.651, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in serum NID-2 level between the no or mild calcification group and the severe calcification group in dialysis patients ( Z=350.00, P=0.426). The serum NID-2 level in the severe calcification group was significantly higher than that in the no or mild calcification group in non-dialysis patients ( Z=242.00, P=0.019). In non-dialysis patients, there was a statistically significant correlation between serum NID-2 level and volume of thoracic aortic calcification ( r=0.40, P<0.001). In dialysis patients, there was no statistically significant correlation between serum NID-2 level and volume of each segment of thoracic aortic calcification (all P>0.05). The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that, age, hemoglobin, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, NID-2, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction were correlated factors of thoracic aortic calcification in non-dialysis patients (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.22, 95% CI 1.08-1.50, P=0.010) was an independent correlated factor of thoracic aortic calcification in non-dialysis patients. The above related variables of univariate logistic regression analysis were incorporated into a nomogram to construct a predictive model for severe vascular calcification in non-dialysis patients, yielding an AUC of 0.94 (95% CI 0.89-0.99) in ROC curve, with a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 95%. A nomogram model based on above variables for predicting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in non-dialysis patients demonstrated an AUC of 0.95 (95% CI 0.90-1.00) in ROC curve, with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 87%. Conclusions:In non-dialysis patients, serum NID-2 level in the severe calcification group is significantly higher than that in the no or mild calcification group. The serum NID-2 is a related factor of thoracic aortic calcification and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in non-dialysis patients. The nomogram prediction model constructed by combining NID-2 with age, hemoglobin, serum albumin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction has a high predictive value for the risk of thoracic aortic calcification as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in non-dialysis patients.
