Objective:To investigate the etiology of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Mianyang city in 2022, and to analyze the genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus A6.Methods:Pharyngeal swabs were collected from patients with HFMD in Mianyang city in 2022. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect enteroviruses in the samples. Part of the VP1 gene in enterovirus-positive samples was amplified by nested PCR using enterovirus typing primers to further identify the viral types. The VP1 coding region of all CVA6-positive samples and the whole genome of some samples were amplified and sequenced by PCR. The endemic strain in Mianyang city was analyzed for phylogeny, gene homology, amino acid variation and genetic recombination.Results:A total of 151 pharyngeal swabs were collected, and 104 enterovirus-positive samples were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, with an overall detection rate of 68.88% (104/151). The typing results showed that there were 77 cases of CVA6 infection, with a positive rate of 50.99% (77/151). The full-length VP1 genes of 77 CVA6 strains were amplified, sequenced, and successfully spliced, and phylogenetic analysis showed that all 77 strains were of the D3 genotype. There were multiple amino acid variant sites in the prevalent strains in Mianyang city compared with the reference strain. Twenty whole genome sequences were amplified, sequenced, and successfully spliced, and homology analysis showed that the nucleotide homology between the 20 positive sequences ranged from 97.0% to 99.9%. Phylogenetic tree and recombination analysis showed that no recombination occurred in the coding regions of the epidemic strains in this study.Conclusions:The predominant pathogen causing HFMD in Mianyang city in 2022 is CVA6 D3 subtype, which is consistent with the national epidemic in 2022.

Objective: To explore the family rehabilitation model for children with scar contracture after hand burns and observe its efficacy. Methods: A retrospective non-randomized controlled study was conducted. From March 2020 to March 2021, 30 children with scar contracture after deep partial-thickness to full-thickness burns of hands, who met the inclusion criteria, were hospitalized in the Burn Center of PLA of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University. According to the rehabilitation model adopted, 18 children (23 affected hands) were included in a group mainly treated by family rehabilitation (hereinafter referred to as family rehabilitation group), and 12 children (15 affected hands) were included in another group mainly treated by hospital rehabilitation (hereinafter referred to as hospital rehabilitation group). In the former group, there were 11 males and 7 females, aged (4.8±2.1) years, who began rehabilitation treatment (3.1±0.8) d after wound healing; in the latter group, there were 7 males and 5 females, aged (4.6±2.1) years, who began rehabilitation treatment (2.8±0.7) d after wound healing. The children in hospital rehabilitation group mainly received active and passive rehabilitation training in the hospital, supplemented by independent rehabilitation training after returning home; after 1-2 weeks of active and passive rehabilitation training in the hospital, the children in family rehabilitation group received active and passive rehabilitation training at home under the guidance of rehabilitation therapists through WeChat platform. Both groups of children were treated for 6 months. During the treatment, they wore pressure gloves and used hand flexion training belts and finger splitting braces. Before treatment and after 6 months of treatment, the modified Vancouver scar scale, the total active movement of the hand method, and Carroll quantitative test of upper extremity function were used to score/rate the scar of the affected hand (with the difference of scar score between before treatment and after treatment being calculated), the joint range of motion (with excellent and good ratio being calculated), and the function of the affected limb, respectively. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, equivalence test, Fisher's exact probability test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results: The differences of scar scores of the affected hands of children in family rehabilitation group and hospital rehabilitation group between after 6 months of treatment and those before treatment were 3.0 (2.0, 7.0) and 3.0 (2.0, 8.0) respectively (with 95% confidence interval of 2.37-5.38 and 1.95-5.91). The 95% confidence interval of the difference between the differences of the two groups was -2.43-2.21, which was within the equivalent boundary value of -3-3 (P<0.05). The excellent and good ratios of joint range of motion of the affected hand of children in family rehabilitation group and hospital rehabilitation group were 3/23 and 2/15 respectively before treatment, and 15/23 and 12/15 respectively after 6 months of treatment. The ratings of joint range of motion of the affected hand of children in family rehabilitation group and hospital rehabilitation group after 6 months of treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment (with Z values of 3.58 and 2.30, respectively, P<0.05), but the ratings of joint range of motion of the affected hand between the two groups were similar before treatment and after 6 months of treatment (with Z values of 0.39 and 0.55, respectively, P>0.05). The functional ratings of the affected limbs of children in family rehabilitation group and hospital rehabilitation group after 6 months of treatment were significantly higher than those before treatment (with Z values of 3.98 and 3.51, respectively, P<0.05), but the functional ratings of the affected limbs between the two groups were similar before treatment and after 6 months of treatment (with Z values of 1.27 and 0.38, respectively, P>0.05). Conclusions: The WeChat platform assisted rehabilitation treatment with mainly family rehabilitation, combined with hand flexion and extension brace can effectively reduce the scarring after children's hand burns, improve the joint range of motion of the affected hands, and promote the recovery of affected limb function. The effect is similar to that of hospital-based rehabilitation providing an optional rehabilitation, treatment method for children who cannot continue to receive treatment in hospital.

The status of lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor for many malignant tumors, including lung cancer. In the 8th edition of the TNM staging system for lung cancer, the T staging had obvious changes and refinements, but the N staging had little changes. Recently, several studies have found that the prognosis of patients with the same N stage can vary greatly, suggesting that a more detailed subgroup of patients with the same N stage should be subdivided, including the inclusion of extra-capsular lymph node metastases (ENE). In this review, we reviewed the definition, classification/grading, imaging diagnosis, pathological diagnosis, related molecular markers and their relationship with the prognosis of lung cancer patients.

Objective:To compare the effects of compression garment combined with orthosis for central face on facial burn scar to compression garment and 3D compression mask. Methods:From September, 2016 to June, 2019, 38 facial burn scar patients received compression therapy in Department of Burns and Cutaneous Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University. According to their preference, they wore compression garment only (CG group, n = 15), compression garment and orthosis for central face (CO group, n = 17) and 3D compression mask (3D group, n = 6) for a year. The facial scar was assessed with Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) before and after treatment, and the comfort and medical cost was investigated with questionnaire. Results:The VSS score decreased after treatment in all the groups (F = 18.49, P < 0.05), while the VSS score was higher in CG group than in CO group (1.717 points, 95%CI 0.925 to 2.482, P < 0.001) and 3D group (1.782 points, 95%CI 0.738 to 2.827, P < 0.001), the difference was less between CO group and 3D group (0.065 points, 95%CI -0.957 to 1.088, P = 1.000). The comfort rate was 60%, 52.9% and 66.7% for CG group, CO group and 3D group, respectively, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). The medical cost was the most for 3D group (12 000 to 16 000 Yuan), and similar for CG group (3000 to 4800 Yuan) and CO group (3300 to 5300 Yuan). Conclusion:Compression garment combined with orthosis for central face is more effective on facial burn scar, similar to 3D compression mask, but cheaper than 3D mask, which can be a choice for facial scar patients in developing areas.

Objective:To explore the effects of respiratory training on pulmonary and motor function for patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods:From January, 2018 to November, 2019, 60 inpatients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease from the Second Rehabilitation Hospital of Shanghai were randomly divided into control group (n = 30) and experimental group (n = 30). All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation, while the experimental group accepted respiratory training with Power Breathe in addition. They were measured the pulmonary function, and assessed with Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) part II and III, and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and four weeks after treatment. Results:The scores of UPDRS II and III, and MBI improved in both groups after treatment (|t| > 2.550, P < 0.05), while the forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV₁) and maximum expiratory flow rate at 50% vital capacity (MEF₅₀) increased in the experimental group (|t| > 2.838, P < 0.01), but did not in the control group (|t| < 1.058, P > 0.05). FVC, FEV₁, MEF₅₀, MBI score and UPDRS II score improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.191, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Respiratory training can improve pulmonary function for patients with Parkinson's disease, to further improve their activities of daily living. No synergistic effect is found on motor function.

The aim of this study was to investigate whether G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) could alleviate hippocampal neuron injury under cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) by acting on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). The CIRI animal model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Female ovariectomized (OVX) Sprague-Dawley (SD) female rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control, ischemia-reperfusion injury (MCAO), vehicle (MCAO+DMSO), and GPER-specific agonist G1 (MCAO+G1) groups. The neurobehavioral score was assessed by the Longa score method, the morphological changes of the neurons were observed by the Nissl staining, the cerebral infarction was detected by the TTC staining, and the neural apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 region was detected by TUNEL staining. The distribution and expression of GRP78 (78 kDa glucose-regulated protein 78) in the hippocampal CA1 region were observed by immunofluorescent staining. The protein expression levels of GRP78, Caspase-12, CHOP and Caspase-3 were detected by Western blot, and the mRNA expression levels of GRP78, Caspase-12, and CHOP were detected by the real-time PCR. The results showed that the neurobehavioral score, cerebral infarct volume, cellular apoptosis index, as well as GRP78, Caspase-12 and CHOP protein and mRNA expression levels in the MCAO group were significantly higher than those of control group. And G1 reversed the above-mentioned changes in the MCAO+G1 group. These results suggest that the activation of GPER can decrease the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and relieve CIRI, and its mechanism may involve the inhibition of ERS.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms of tumor suppressor gene PTEN and nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Jiamusi Han population. Methods The blood samples of 132 patients with naso-pharyngeal carcinoma(nasopharyngeal carcinoma group)and 73 healthy people(control group)were selected from September 2008 to January 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiamusi University. The whole genome DNA was extracted,and the pol-ymorphisms of rs532678 and rs701848 were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The relationship be-tween the polymorphism of PTEN gene and nasopharyngeal carcinoma was analyzed. Results The genotype and allele frequen-cy distributions of rs532678 and rs701848 loci were in line with the Hardy-Weinberg genetic balance law in the two groups (P > 0. 05). The genotypic frequency of CC,CT and TT at the rs532678 locus of PTEN gene in the control group was 0. 630, 0. 342 and 0. 027 respectively;and the allele frequency of C and T was 0. 801 and 0. 198 respectively. The genotypic frequency of CC,CT and TT at the rs532678 locus of PTEN gene in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma group was 0. 716,0. 265 and 0. 015 re-spectively;and the allele frequency of C and T was 0. 852 and 0. 147 respectively. There was no significant difference in geno-type distribution and allele frequency distribution at the rs532678 locus of PTEN gene between the two groups(P > 0. 05). The genotypic frequency of CC,CT and TT at the rs701848 locus of the PTEN gene in the control group was 0. 657,0. 342 and 0. 000 respectively;and the allele frequency of C and T was 0. 828 and 0. 171 respectively. The genotypic frequency of CC,CT and TT at the rs701848 locus of PTEN gene in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma group was 0. 424,0. 500 and 0. 075 respectively;and the allele frequency of C and T was 0. 674 and 0. 325 respectively. The frequencies of CT,TT genotype and T allele of rs701848 locus in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P < 0. 05). The frequencies of CC genotype and C allele in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0. 05). The individual with CT + TT genotype at the rs701848 locus of PTEN gene had higher risk for naso-pharyngeal carcinoma(P < 0. 05,OR = 2. 606,95％ confidence interval:1. 439 - 4. 720). The risk for nasopharyngeal carcino-ma in the individual with CT + TT genotype was 2. 606 times as much as the individual carrying CC genotype. Conclusion The rs532678 polymorphism of PTEN gene is not associated with the susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The polymor-phism of rs701848 locus is associated with the susceptibility to nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The individual carrying CT + TT genotype has higher risk for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
