Objective To examine the impact of different numbers of microsatellite markers on the analysis of population genetic diversity of Schistosoma japonicum, so as to provide insights into studies on the population genetic diversity of S. japonicum. Methods Oncomelania hupensis snails were collected from a wasteland in Gong’an County, Hubei Province, and 37 S. japonicum-infected O. hupensis snails were identified using the cercarial shedding method. A single cercaria released from each S. japonicum-infected O. hupensis snail was collected, and 10 cercariae were randomly collected from DNA extraction. Nine previously validated microsatellite loci and 15 additional microsatellite loci screened from literature review and the GenBank database and confirmed with stable amplification efficiency were selected as molecular markers. Genomic DNA from cercariae was subjected to three multiplex PCR amplifications of microsatellite markers with the Type-it Microsatellite PCR kit, and genotyped using capillary electrophoresis. The population genetic diversity of S. japonicum cercariae DNA was analyzed with observed number of alleles (Na), effective number of alleles (Ae), observed heterozygosity (Ho), expected heterozygosity (He), and polymorphism information content (PIC), and tested for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) and linkage disequilibrium (LD). To further investigate the impact of the number of microsatellite loci on the population genetic diversity of S. japonicum, the number of microsatellite markers was sequentially assigned from 1 to 24, and the mean and standard deviation of Na were calculated for S. japonicum populations at different locus numbers. In addition, the coefficient of variation (CV) of allelic number (defined as the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean) was determined, and the variation in Na with increasing microsatellite locus numbers was analyzed. Results Genomic DNA from 345 S. japonicum cercariae was selected for genotyping of 24 microsatellite markers, and all 24 microsatellite loci met linkage equilibrium (standardized linkage disequilibrium coefficient D′ < 0.7, r² < 0.3) and deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P < 0.001). The mean Na, Ae, Ho and He were 27.46 ± 2.18, 12.46 ± 0.95, 0.46 ± 0.03, and 0.91 ± 0.01 for 24 microsatellite loci in S. japonicum cercarial populations, respectively, and PIC ranged from 0.85 to 0.96, indicating high genome-wide representativeness of 24 microsatellite loci. The mean value of Na-Ae was higher in genotyping with 9 previously validated microsatellite loci (19.88 ± 8.43) than with all 24 loci (14.99 ± 8.09). As the number of microsatellite loci increased, the mean Na showed no significant variation; however, the standard deviation gradually decreased. Notably, if the locus number reached 18 or more, the variation in the standard deviation of Na remarkably reduced. In addition, the standard deviation of Na at 18 loci was less than 5% of the mean Na at 24 loci, with a CV of 4.6%. Conclusions The number of microsatellite loci significantly affects the population genetic diversity analysis of S. japonicum. Eighteen or more microsatellite loci are recommended for analysis of the population genetic diversity of S. japonicum under the current conditions of low-prevalence infection and unbalanced genetic distribution of S. japonicum.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between gluten-free diet and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Data were obtained from large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and genetic loci that are independent of gluten-free diet and RA of people of Europe2 were selected as instrumental variables. The gluten-free diet GWAS data included 64 949 individuals and 9 851 867 controls. Data were obtained from GWAS of 58 284 RA patients and 13 108 512 controls. The inverse variance weighted (IVW), MR Egger, weighted median method and weighted model were used to conduct two sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Cochran Q test and mendelian randomness pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) were used to assess SNP heterogeneity. Applying the MR Egger intercept to test the level pleiotropy of SNP. The sensitivity analysis of the "leave one method" that evaluates whether MR studies were influenced by a single SNP. Results:After matching GFD and RA data, three SNPs were included as instrumental variables in the study. IVW showed that GFD could significantly reduce the risk of RA ( β=-60.83, s x=3.82, P<0.001). The weighted median method and weighted pattern also showed that the gluten free diet could reduce the risk of RA ( β=-57.97, s x=4.41, P<0.001; β=-55.81, s x=5.10, P=0.008). Sensitivity analysis of the correlation between GFD and RA showed that there might be heterogeneity between SNPs (Cochran Q test, Q=12.80, P=0.002). The MR-PRESSO results showed that no abnormal SNP was detected ( P=0.174). The forest map showed that SNPs was closely related to GFD and RA stability. The method comparison chart showed that the results of multiple testing methods were basically consistent. The funnel plot showed that SNPs were basically symmetrical, indicating that there was no pleiotropy in MR analysis. The MR Egger intercept test showed no horizontal pleiotropy in MR analysis (intercept value was-0.24, P=0.174). The sensitivity analysis of the "leave one method" is suggested that no single SNP had a significant impact on the overall results. Conclusion:Gluten free diet is related to the risk reduction of RA.

Objective:To analyze the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in Hainan Province from 2011 to 2023, key prevention and control measures taken during this period, and the impact of related events on the monitoring results.Methods:From 2011 to 2023, a systematic sampling method was used to divide 21 cities (districts, counties) in Hainan Province into 5 districts based on east, west, south, north, and center each year. One township (street) was selected from each district, and 40 children aged 8 - 10 (non boarding students) and 20 pregnant women were selected from each township (street) for determination of iodine level of their household salt and urine samples. Based on the monitoring results, the impact of key events such as the pre reduction (2011), post reduction (implementation of new iodized salt standard, 2012 - 2023), salt industry system reform (2017), and the two-year campaign for endemic disease prevention and control (2019, 2000), on the salt iodine coverage rate and qualified iodized salt consumption rate, the urinary iodine level and its distribution in children and pregnant women were analyzed in Hainan Province. B-ultrasound was used to detect the situation of thyroid enlargement was analyzed.Results:(1) In 2011, the median iodine level in edible salt of residents in Hainan Province was 32.1 mg/kg. It was 30.8 mg/kg after the implementation of the new standard in 2012. In 2013, the salt iodine level of residents had significantly decreased to 25.9 mg/kg, with 24.5, 24.2, and 23.8 mg/kg in 2017, 2019, and 2020, respectively. The differences of median salt iodine levels between different years were statistically significant ( H = 29.01, P < 0.001). The coverage rate of iodized salt among residents in Hainan Province from 2011 to 2023 was 98.08% (80 727/82 308), and the difference between different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 9.51, P = 0.023). The consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 95.65% (78 738/82 308), and the difference between different years was statistically significant (χ 2 = 21.80, P < 0.001). (2) The median urinary iodine level of children from 2011 to 2023 was 177.5 μg/L, with a median of 204.2 μg/L in 2011. After the implementation of the new standard, the median urinary iodine level of children was 194.9 μg/L in 2012. In 2013, the median urinary iodine level in children decreased to 167.8 μg/L, and had remained within the range of 100 - < 200 μg/L thereafter. In 2017, 2019, and 2020, the median urinary iodine levels were 170.4, 172.8, and 186.3 μg/L, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in different years ( H = 1.67, P = 0.061). The proportion of children with urinary iodine < 100 μg/L from 2011 to 2023 was 16.29% (8 740/53 634), and the proportion of children with urinary iodine between 100 and < 200 μg/L was 43.96% (23 575/53 634). The differences between different years were statistically significant (χ 2 = 21.50, 23.40, P < 0.001). The childhood goiter rate from 2011 to 2023 was 0.19% (101/53 634). (3) The median urinary iodine level of pregnant women was 153 μg/L in 2011, it was 154.7 μg/L in 2012 after the implementation of the new standard, and it had remained within the range of 100 - < 150 μg/L since then. The median urinary iodine level of pregnant women was 126.2 μg/L in 2013. The median urinary iodine level in 2017, 2019 and 2020 were 123.5, 133.8, and 135.4 μg/L, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the median urinary iodine levels of pregnant women between different years ( H = 92.10, P < 0.001). From 2011 to 2023, the proportion of pregnant women with a median urinary iodine level < 150 μg/L was the highest (55.75%, 14 761/26 477). Conclusion:From 2011 to 2023, although the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders in children and pregnant women in Hainan Province have fluctuated, they are still in a state of continuous elimination of IDD.

Objective:To exploring the application effect of doctors-nurses-patients theory of goal attainment combined with StMarys cluster intervention mode in patients with tracheotomy after stroke.Methods:Using convenient sampling method, a total of 130 stroke patients with tracheostomy who were admitted to Shangqiu First People's Hospital from August 2020 to February 2022 were selected as the research objects.

Objective:To integrate qualitative research on the experience of type 2 diabetes patients using self-management APP, so as to provide evidence support for the design and promotion of highly accepted diabetes self-management APP.Methods:This study is a Meta-synthesis. Qualitative research on experience of type 2 diabetes patients using self-management APP was retrieved through computer in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , WanFang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc Literature Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Ovid (LWW Journals) , Scopus Chinese and English databases. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to April 30, 2022. According to the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center, the methodology of the included article was evaluated, and the included article was integrated with the method of pooled Meta-synthesis.Results:A total of 11 articles were included, 48 research findings were extracted and summarized into 3 integration results and 14 new categories. The integration results included that self-management APP promoted patients to form continuous self-management behavior and improved physical and mental health, obstacle factors that affected patients' use of APP, and patients' suggestions for improving the function of APP.Conclusions:Patients feel the benefits of self-management APP, such as correct understanding of diabetes, disease control, and improvement of psychological status. When developing relevant APP, we should pay attention to the change of patient behavior, design the APP function based on user needs, conduct cultural adjustment, improve training and technical support, and improve its acceptance and promotion.

Objective:To systematically review the risk prediction models for hypoglycemia in diabetic patients.Methods:The literatures published up to March 25, 2022 was retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, MEDLINE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP and SinoMed. Two researchers independently screened the literatures, extracted information, and applied the PROBAST tool to evaluate the quality of the included models.Results:A total of 11 literatures and 13 models were included. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve or C statistic of all models was 0.666-0.890, with a high risk of bias and a low risk of applicability, and the most included predictors were chronic kidney disease and age. The main reason for the bias in the model were insufficient number of events in the dependent variable, improper handling of continuous variables, and screening of predictors by single factor analysis. Conclusions:The existing hypoglycemia risk prediction models for diabetic patients are still in the development stage, and medical and nursing staff can choose the existing hypoglycemia models according to the results of this systematic review and clinical practice. In the future, we should improve the existing models based on tools or carry out large-sample, multi-center, prospective cohort studies, and build a high-quality hypoglycemia risk prediction model for diabetic patients that is more suitable for China based on more comprehensive and accurate statistical methods and clinical data.

Objective:To explore and analyze the relationship between serum KLK11 and MK levels and the effect of first iodine 131 ( 131I) ablation after operation for differentiated thyroid cancer. Method:108 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who underwent total thyroidectomy in our hospital from Jun. 2020 to Jun. 2021 were consecutively selected, and received radioactive ablation after surgery. There were 37 males and 71 females. The age was (48.32±4.25) years, ranging from 28 to 79 years. The patients were divided into successful ablation according to whether the ablation was successful after treatment. There were 64 cases in the group and 44 cases in the unsuccessful group, and 60 healthy people with no abnormality in physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. The patients were divided into a metastasis-positive group of 20 cases and a metastasis-negative group of 88 cases according to whether lymph nodes occurred. After surgery, serum samples of all subjects were taken, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of serum kallikrein-related peptidases 11 (KLK11) and midkine (MK) , and the levels of serum KLK11 and MK were analyzed. Gender, age, BMI, TNM stage, TSH, maximum diameter of lesion, and duration of nail removal were collected. Univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors of postoperative efficacy.Result:The levels of serum KLK11 and MK in the successful and unsuccessful groups were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of KLK11 and MK in the unsuccessful group were higher than those in the successful group (KLK11: t= 2.642, P<0.05; MK: t=11.906, P<0.05) . The serum levels of KLK11 and MK in the metastasis-positive group were higher than those in the metastasis-negative group (KLK11: t= 2.908, P<0.05; MK: t=14.907, P<0.05) . Univariate analysis showed that BMI ( χ2=6.780, P=0.009) , maximum diameter of lesions ( χ2=14.819, P=0.001) , TSH ( χ2=13.627, P=0.001) , serum KLK11 ( t=2.642, P=0.01) , and serum MK ( t=11.906, P<0.001) were associated with the effect of first 131I ablation after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer ( P<0.05) . Taking the success of ablation as the dependent variable, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed. The results showed that the maximum diameter of the lesions greater than 2 cm ( OR=10.740, 95%CI: 7.033-16.401) , increased level of TSH ( OR=8.559, 95%CI: 2.812-26.057) , increased serum KLK11 level ( OR=16.710, 95%CI: .548-32.666) and increased serum MK level ( OR=10.580, 95%CI: 6.294-17.786) were the factors affecting the first 131I ablation effect after DTC surgery ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The elevated levels of serum KLK11 and MK are independent risk factors affecting the efficacy of the first 131I ablation after surgery for differentiated thyroid cancer.
