Objective To explore the application effect of upper abdominal moxibustion combined with bedside ultrasound monitoring of gastric residual volume(GRV)in pre-pyloric feeding in stroke patients.Methods Eighty stroke patients admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 1,to December 31,2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into control group(n=38)and observation group(n=42)using a random number table method.All patients had a nasogastric tube for pre-pyloric feeding.The control group used the traditional syringe aspiration method to monitor GRV,while the observation group used upper abdominal moxibustion combined with bedside ultrasound to monitor GRV.The study compared the differences between two groups in terms of enteral nutrition intolerance,feeding complications,enteral nutrition compliance rate within 7 days of admission,time to achieve enteral nutrition compliance,and changes in hemoglobin(Hb),serum prealbumin,serum albumin(ALB),and serum transferrin before and after 14 days of feeding.Results The incidence rates of vomiting,abdominal distention,intra-abdominal hypertension,reflux,and aspiration pneumonia in observation group were lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).The rate of achieving intestinal nutrition standard within 7 days of hospitalization was significantly higher in observation group compared to the control group.The time to achieve intestinal nutrition standard was shorter in observation group compared to control group.Furthermore,after 14 days of feeding,the levels of Hb and ALB in observation group were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Upper abdominal moxibustion combined with bedside ultrasonic monitoring of GRV can significantly reduce intestinal nutrition intolerance and feeding complications during pre-pyloric feeding in stroke patients,shorten the time to achieve nutritional benchmarks,and improve nutritional status.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemic characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases （NIDs） other than coronavirus disease 2019 （COVID-19） in Shanghai in 2020， and to provide evidence for formulating infectious disease prevention and control strategies. MethodsData of NIDs reported in Shanghai from 2015 to 2020 were collected through the National Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Descriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the incidence and prevalence characteristics of NIDs in Shanghai in 2020， and compared them with the average values of 2015 to 2019. ResultsA total of 45 574 cases of 23 kinds of NIDs were reported in Shanghai in 2020， except for COVID-19， with an incidence of 187.69/10⁵， and a decrease rate of 50.58% compared with the average value of 2015 to 2019. The incidence of category B and C infectious diseases decreased by 38.07% and 57.47%， respectively （All P<0.001）. The top 3 reported infectious diseases with the highest incidence rate were influenza （64.58/10⁵）， syphilis （39.09/10⁵） and tuberculosis （24.90/10⁵）. The incidence of most infectious diseases decreased compared with the average of 2015 to 2019， among which measles （97.15%）， rubella （88.81%）， pertussis （87.43%）， hand foot mouth disease （85.99%） and scarlet fever （79.84%） decreased significantly （all P<0.001）. In general， compared with the average from 2015 to 2019， respiratory infectious diseases declined most， followed by intestinal infectious diseases， insect-borne and natural focal infectious diseases， blood-borne and sexually transmitted diseases. Districts with higher incidence in 2020 were Fengxian District （310.23/10⁵）， Xuhui District （271.93/10⁵） and Hongkou District （254.38/10⁵）. Respiratory infectious diseases in Fengxian District， intestinal infectious diseases in Jinshan District， blood-borne and sexually transmitted infectious diseases in Changning District， and insect-borne and natural focal infectious diseases in Yangpu District showed the highest incidence rate. Incidence of infectious diseases in 16 districts of Shanghai decreased with different degrees （all P<0.001）. Incidence of infectious diseases in males （209.44/10⁵） was higher than that in females （164.89/10⁵） （χ²=624.864， P<0.001）.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic etiology of a neonate with suggestive features of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS). METHODS: Chromosome karyotyping, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were carried out for the child. Meanwhile, peripheral venous blood samples were taken from his parents for verifying the suspected pathogenic variants detected in the child. RESULTS: The child has exhibited developmental delay, microcephaly, ptosis, micrognathia, and low ear setting, and was suspected as CdLS. No abnormality was found by karyotyping and CNV-seq analysis. WES has detected 5 heterogeneous variants and 1 hemizygous variant on the X chromosome. Combining the genetic pattern and result of family verification, a hemizygous C.3500T>C (p.ile1167thr) of the SMC1A gene was predicted to underlay the clinical manifestations of the patient. This variant was not recorded in the dbSNP and gnomAD database. PolyPhen2, Provean, SIFT all predicted the variant to be harmful, and PhastCons conservative prediction is was a conservative mutation. ACMG variant classification standard evidence supports are PM2, PP2, and PP3. CONCLUSION The novel c.3500T>C (p.Ile1167Thr) missense mutation of the SMC1A gene probably underlay the genetic etiology of CdLS in this child. Above results has enriched the mutation spectrum of CdLS type II, and facilitated clinical counseling for this family.

Objective: To learn the epidemiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019（COVID-19）in Huzhou,so as to provide reference for prevention and control of COVID-19. Methods: All the confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Huzhou,diagnosed according to the COVID-19 Diagnosis and Treatment Plan（Sixth Version Trial）and reported from January 25 to February 7,2020,were recruited. The process of diagnosis and treatment,clinical manifestation,exposure history and close contacts were collected to analyze the epidemiological characteristics. Results: On January 25,the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Huzhou was reported. By February 7,totally 10 confirmed cases were reported and no asymptomatic infection was found. They were all imported,including three Wuhan residents,two with a trip to Wuhan,three with a trip to Suizhou,one with a trip to Hangzhou and one with a trip to Thailand（two Wuhan passengers on the same flight）. The ratio of male to female cases was 1∶1. The median age was 32 years old. Seven cases were found when they went to a doctor by themselves,and three cases were found during the quarantine. The main clinical manifestations were fever,dry cough and fatigue. The median time from onset to diagnosis was 3 days. By March 3,all the cases were discharged,with median course of 24 days. There were 312 close contacts,and all of them were released after 14 days of quarantine. Conclusions To prevent imported cases from outside and stop spread inside taken by Huzhou government was proved to be effective. All the COVID-19 cases in Huzhou were imported,mostly from Wuhan. No local cases were reported.

Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is widely regarded as one of the most promising targets for cancer therapy due to its essential role in cell division and tumor cell survival. At present, most Plk1 inhibitors have been developed based on kinase domain, some of which are in clinical trial. However, inhibitors targeting kinase domain face off-target effect and drug resistance owing to the conserved nature and the frequent mutations in the ATP-binding pocket. In addition to a highly conserved kinase domain, Plk1 also contains a unique Polo-Box domain (PBD), which is essential for Plk1's subcellular localization and mitotic functions. Inhibitors targeting Plk1 PBD show stronger selectivity and less drug resistance for cancer therapy. Therefore, Plk1 PBD is an attractive target for the development of anti-cancer agents. In this review, we will summarize the up-to date drug discovery for targeting Plk1 PBD, including the molecular structure and cellular functions of Plk1 PBD. Small-molecule inhibitors targeting Plk1 PBD not only provide an opportunity to specifically inhibit Plk1 activity for cancer treatment, but also unveil novel biological basis regarding the molecular recognition of Plk1 and its substrates.
