Objective:To explore the effects of the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing. Methods:We assigned 152 students of nursing and midwifery majors of grade 2018 (experimental group) to be taught using the scaffolding-based flipped classroom approach and 182 students of grade 2017 (control group) to be taught using the traditional lecture method. Teaching effects were evaluated through students' exam performance and a questionnaire survey. Numerical data were analyzed using the χ2 test and t test with the use of SPSS 18.0, and text data were processed using NVivo 11 for thematic analysis. Results:The experimental group and control group showed significant differences in the interim exam score (83.19±7.96 vs. 79.62±3.14, P<0.001) and final exam score (78.47±6.92 vs. 73.16±8.24, P<0.001). The students of grade 2018 had a high level of participation in online learning. The questionnaire results showed that the scaffolding-based flipped classroom was well recognized in terms of students' overall perception, perceived course quality, perceived value of learning, and satisfaction and the open-ended question, with low scores for learner complaints and loyalty. Conclusions:The scaffolding-based flipped classroom is feasible in the teaching of Infectious Disease Nursing, which can improve students' academic performance and overall competence.

Myocardial dysfunction is the most serious complication of sepsis. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SMD) is often associated with gastrointestinal dysfunction, but its pathophysiological significance remains unclear. The present study found that patients with SMD had higher plasma gastrin concentrations than those without SMD. In mice, knockdown of the gastrin receptor, cholecystokinin B receptor (Cckbr), aggravated lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction and increased inflammation in the heart, whereas the intravenous administration of gastrin ameliorated SMD and cardiac injury. Macrophage infiltration plays a significant role in SMD because depletion of macrophages by the intravenous injection of clodronate liposomes, 48 h prior to LPS administration, alleviated LPS-induced cardiac injury in Cckbr-deficient mice. The intravenous injection of bone marrow macrophages (BMMs) overexpressing Cckbr reduced LPS-induced myocardial dysfunction. Furthermore, gastrin treatment inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression through the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) signaling pathway in BMMs. Thus, our findings provide insights into the mechanism of the protective role of gastrin/CCKBR in SMD, which could be used to develop new treatment modalities for SMD.

Objective:To report a case of developmental epileptic encephalopathy caused by CACNA1E gene mutation and explore C Clinical phenotype and prognosis of 2069G>A (p.Gly690Asp) locus.Methods:The clinical data and follow-up of a case of developmental epilepsy related to CACNA1E gene mutation admitted to the Maternity And Children Health Hospital of Xiangtan City in September 2020 were summarized and analyzed.Results:The male patient, with delayed intellectual and motor development, sought medical attention and gradually developed seizures. The genetic results showed that the CACNA1E gene c. 2069G>A (p.Gly690Asp) was a newly discovered variant, and the parental site was a wild-type. Based on clinical manifestations, the diagnosis was a pathogenic variant.Conclusions:Developmental epileptic encephalopathy caused by mutations in the CACNA1E gene can have intellectual and motor impairments as the initial manifestation; Site C 2069G>A (p.Gly690Asp) presents with severe epilepsy and poor prognosis, with the possibility of brain atrophy. The combination of valproic acid and clonazepam may be effective in treating epilepsy.

Objective:To study the clinical characteristics and compliance of early-onset gout patients by case-control analysis.Methods:A total of 111 early-onset patients (onset age ≤35 years old) were included as Group A, and 111 non-early-onset patients (onset age >35 years old) with matched disease durationwere included as Group B. The differences ofclinical characteristics, causes of acute gout attack, dairy diet habits, compliance, and misunderstanding of the disease were compared.Results:Compared with the non-early-onsetgoutpatients, the early-onset patients had a higher proportion of obesity (63 cases vs 28 cases), family history (36 cases vs 20 cases) and tophus (39 cases vs 23 cases) and higher level of VAS scores (8.5±1.3 vs 7.6±1.7; χ2=22.988, P<0.01; χ2=5.749, P=0.016; χ2=5.729, P=0.017; t=4.639, P<0.01), lowerproportionof the first metatarsophalangeal joint involvement as the initial joint involvement (45.9%, 51 cases vs 59.4%, 66 cases; χ2=4.066, P=0.044), higher proportion of the ankle involvement as the initial joint involvement (34.2%, 38 cases vs 21.6%, 24 cases; χ2=4.386, P=0.036), higher proportion of alcohol drinkers and high fructose drinkers, which was more likely to relate to alcohol intake, strenuous exercise and high fructose intakeas trigger of the flare ( χ2=6.513, P=0.011; χ2=7.126, P=0.008; χ2=1.978, P=0.160), while the proportion of regular exercisers and on diet in the family was lower ( χ2=22.887, P<0.01; t=-4.917, P<0.01). The proportion of poor diet and medication compliance in Group A was higher than that in Group B(57.7%, 64 cases vs 38.7%, 43 cases; χ2=5.207, P=0.022; χ2=5.867, P=0.015). As for the reason for poor treatment compliance, early-onset gout patients were more worry about the side-effects of drugs than non-early onset patients ( χ2=4.190, P=0.041). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the main misunderstanding of gout. Conclusion:Although early onset gout patients are young, their condition is more serious, and compliance is poorer, this group of patients should be highly valued in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the rehabilitation efficacy of core stability training versus general exercises or manual therapy in patients with non-specific low back pain.Methods:The Medline, EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) , PsycINFO, China Biology Medicine (CBM) , CNKI, VIP and Wanfang database were searched by computer, and the retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to 20th October, 2018. All randomized controlled trials (RCT) and clinical control studies of the rehabilitation effects of core stability training on patients with non-specific low back pain were collected. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 2 researchers independently searched the literature, screened the literature and evaluated the quality of the included literature. And the data were extracted for Meta-analysis using Revman 5.3 software.Results:A total of 14 articles were included, all of which were RCTs. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the comparison of pain improvement between core stability training group and general exercise training group was ( Z=4.67, P<0.001) [ OR=1.01, 95% CI (-1.43, -0.59) ], and the evidence showed statistical significance ( P<0.05) . The comparison of Oswestry Disability Index scores of patients after core stability training and general exercise training was ( Z=5.03, P<0.01) [ OR=-7.18, 95% CI (-9.98, -4.38) ], and the evidence showed statistical significance ( P<0.05) . The comparison results of other indicators were not statistically significant ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:The core stability training group and manual therapy group can effectively reduce pain in patients with non-specific low back pain, and core stability training can promote the relief of dysfunction in patients with non-specific low back pain, and core stability training should be encouraged as part of musculoskeletal rehabilitation for patients with non-specific low back pain.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of clinical manifestations, risk factors, therapies and acute outcomes in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis complicated by cerebral hemorrhage. Methods Seventy-five patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis were included in the study. According to the radiological findings on the brain image, patients were divided into two subgroups:cerebral hemorrhage group and non-hemorrhage group. The demo?graphic data, potential risk factors, clinical manifestations, radiological features, therapeutic strategies and acute out?comes were compared between two subgroups, and high risk factors were also analyzed. Results There were seventy-five patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in the present study. Twenty-eight patients of them (37.2%) had cerebral hemorrhage whereas the remaining forty-seven patients (62.7%) did not have cerebral hemorrhage. Pregnancy/puerperi?um were significantly higher in patients with cerebral hemorrhage (with vs without;28.6%vs. 6.4%, P=0.015), while in?fection was markedly higher in patients without cerebral hemorrhage (with vs without;7.1% vs. 29.8%, P=0.021). Head?ache (92.9% vs. 70.2%, P=0.021), unconsciousness (25.0% vs. 6.4%,P=0.034), seizures (53.6% vs. 19.1%, P=0.002) and motor deficits (35.7% vs. 12.8%, P=0.019) were more common in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Moreover, mul?tiple sinus involvement (1.4% vs. 44.7%, P=0.024) was significantly higher and the acute outcomes(mRS≥3: 46.4%vs.17.0%, P=0.006)were poorer in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Binary Logistic analysis showed that pregnancy/pu?erperium (P=0.004) and multiple sinus involvement were positively, whereas infection was negatively correlated with cere?bral venous sinus thrombosis and hemorrhage ( P=0.007;P=0.03). Conclusions Pregnancy/puerperium, headache, uncon?sciousness, seizures, motor deficits and multiple sinus involvement are more frequently in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and hemorrhage, and the acute outcomes are poorer in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis complicated by cerebral hemorrhage.

OBJECTIVETo explore the incidence and genotypes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) gene mutations among infertile patients in Shenzhen.
METHODSDNA samples from 851 infertile patients were tested for 25 G6PD gene mutation sites using a multiplex SNaPshot assay.
RESULTSThe incidence of G6PD gene mutations among infertile patients in Shenzhen was 17.63%. Male and female abnormal rates were 15.13% and 20.09% respectively. Most of the female abnormal cases were heterozygotes. Mutations involved 11 haplotypes in 10 sites. 1311C> T/IVS-11 93T> C was the most common mutation, accounting for 72.00% (108/150) abnormal cases. Forty three cases of missense mutations were detected, including 19 cases of 1376G> T, 9 cases of 1388G> A, 5 cases of 95A> G and 871G> A/1311C> T/IVS-11 93T> C, 1 case of 202G> A, 835A> T, 1360C> T, 1376G> T and 392G> T/1311C> T/IVS-11 93T> C.
CONCLUSIONThe incidence of G6PD gene mutations among infertile patients in Shenzhen was high and the mutation types were various. Therefore, the G6PD deficiency genetic screening should be performed prior to assisted reproduction. This investigated results provided valuable basic data for genetic counseling, preimplantation genetic diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis.
