At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen injury prevention education , improve the injury prevention awareness and skills of students and guardians, and effectively reduce the occurrence of children's injuries starting from primary prevention.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most important histological type of lung cancer. This disease affects a large number of patients, and the prognosis of advanced patients is poor. Although great progress has been achieved for existing treatment methods, challenges still exist. Cancer is a genetic disease, and its occurrence is accompanied by substantial genomic-sequence instability. (GT/CA)_n repeat sequence is a common microsatellite sequence serving as transcriptional function-related regions, DNA-methylation modification sites, and other functional sites. Its polymorphism is closely related to the expression of EGFR, HO-1, and HIF-1α in NSCLC patients. (GT/CA)_n repeat sequence is the breakthrough point to explore the molecular mechanism of NSCLC occurrence and development, develop molecular markers for diagnosis and prognosis and epigenetics research. This paper summarizes the studies on (GT/CA)_n repeat polymorphisms in NSCLC with the aim of providing references for relevant NSCLC research.

Molecular knowledge of human gastric corpus epithelium remains incomplete. Here, by integrated analyses using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) techniques, we uncovered the spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium. Specifically, we identified a stem/progenitor cell population in the isthmus of human gastric corpus, where EGF and WNT signaling pathways were activated. Meanwhile, LGR4, but not LGR5, was responsible for the activation of WNT signaling pathway. Importantly, FABP5 and NME1 were identified and validated as crucial for both normal gastric stem/progenitor cells and gastric cancer cells. Finally, we explored the epigenetic regulation of critical genes for gastric corpus epithelium at chromatin state level, and identified several important cell-type-specific transcription factors. In summary, our work provides novel insights to systematically understand the cellular diversity and homeostasis of human gastric corpus epithelium in vivo.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the predictive value of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), quick sequential organ failure assessment (qSOFA) and modified early warning score (MEWS) in evaluating the prognosis of patients in intensive care unit (ICU) of secondary hospitals, and to provide guidance for clinical application. METHODS: The clinical data of adult critical patients admitted to the ICU of Wanzhou District First People's Hospital from October 2022 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the clinical outcome of ICU, the patients were divided into improvement group and death group. The general information, blood routine, heart, liver and kidney function indicators, coagulation indicators, blood gas analysis, APACHE II score, SOFA score, qSOFA score, MEWS score at the time of admission to the ICU, the number of cases of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and continuous blood purification (CBP) were compared between the two groups. Univariate analysis was performed, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of death. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to analyze the predictive value of the four scores in ICU patients. RESULTS: A total of 126 patients were included, of which 45 patients died in the ICU and 81 patients improved and transferred out. Univariate analysis of death-related critically ill patients showed that procalcitonin (PCT), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), albumin (ALB), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), D-dimer, pH value, HCO₃^-, blood lactic acid (Lac), number of patients treated with IMV and CBP, APACHE II score, SOFA score, qSOFA score and MEWS score were significantly different between the two groups (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the APACHE II score [odds ratio (OR) = 1.115, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.025-1.213, P = 0.011], SOFA score (OR = 1.204, 95%CI was 1.037-1.398, P = 0.015), MEWS score (OR = 1.464, 95%CI was 1.102-1.946, P = 0.009), and APTT (OR = 1.081, 95%CI was 1.015-1.152, P = 0.016) were independent risk factors affecting the mortality of critically ill patients in the ICU. ROC curve analysis showed that APACHE II, SOFA, qSOFA, and MEWS scores could predict the prognosis of critically ill ICU patients, among which SOFA score had the strongest predictive effect, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.808. There was a statistically significant difference in the time required for the four scores (F = 117.333, P < 0.001), among which the MEWS scoring required the shortest time [(1.03±0.39) minutes], and the APACHE II scoring required the longest time [(2.81±1.04) minutes]. CONCLUSIONS APACHE II, SOFA, qSOFA, and MEWS scores can be used to assess the severity of critically ill patients and predict in-hospital mortality. The SOFA score is superior to other scores in predicting severity. The MEWS is preferred because its assessment time is shortest. Early warning score can help secondary hospitals to detect potentially critical patients early and provide help for clinical rapid urgent emergency decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expressions of serum trans thyroxine protein (TTR) , retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and metabolic syndrome of pregnancy (GMS) .Methods:A total of 103 patients with GMS from May. 2017 to Dec. 2019 were selected as the observation group, in addition, 100 healthy pregnant women with single pregnancy and no complications were selected as control group. Before pregnancy, the height and weight were detected. After the diagnosis of GMS, serum markers and blood pressure were detected. The levels of total cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected by Hitachi 7600 automatic biochemical analyzer, and the expression levels of TTR and RBP4 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of TTR and RBP4 in GMS. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of GMS in pregnant women.Results:There was no significant difference in age or gestational weeks between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Compared with those in the control group, the levels of BMI, TC, TG, LDL-C, FBG, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum TTR and RBP4 expression levels were higher in the observation group before pregnancy ( P<0.05) , while HDL-C was lower ( P<0.05) . The area under the curve (AUC) of TTR and RBP4 alone or combination in the diagnosis of GMS was 0.797, 0.816 and 0.898, respectively. The cut-off value of TTR was 284.91 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 63.10% and 89.00%, respectively. The cut-off value of RBP4 was 17.89 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 69.90% and 87.00%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis were 83.50% and 84.00% respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high level of TTR and high level of RBP4 were independent risk factors of GMS in pregnant women ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression levels of serum TTR and RBP4 in GMS patients are high, and they have certain diagnostic value for GMS. They are independent risk factors of GMS in pregnant women, which may provide new ideas for the early diagnosis and prevention of GMS.

Oral cancer is a common head and neck malignant tumor. Its molecular mechanism of pathogenesis is complex and needs further exploration. Non-coding RNAs account for more than 95% of human transcripts and include microRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs. They are an important entry point for research on molecular mechanism of oral cancer. Non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes constitute a complex regulatory system involved in the regulation of physiological and pathological processes. This review summarizes articles about oral cancer-related non-coding RNAs and presents valuable information from the perspectives of microRNA, lncRNA, and circRNA.

Radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) is one of the complications after radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumors, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. The pathophysiological mechanism of RBI is not completely clear. Current studies suggest that it is involved in a variety of cells in the central nervous system (CNS), whereas astrocyte, as the largest number of glial cells in the CNS, plays an important role in maintaining the CNS homeostasis and responding to CNS injury. In this article, the role of astrocytes in RBI was reviewed.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a child presented with renal failure and multi-cystic dysplastic kidney without anal atresia. METHODS: Peripheral blood sample of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The 40-day-old infant had presented with vomiting brown matter in a 7 days neonate and was transferred for kidney failure. Clinical examination has discovered renal failure, polycystic renal dysplasia, congenital hypothyroidism, bilateral thumb polydactyly, sensorineural hearing loss and preauricular dermatophyte. Genetic testing revealed that he has harbored a previously unreported c.824delT, p.L275Yfs*10 frameshift variant of SALL1 gene, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing as de novo. CONCLUSION The patient was diagnosed with Townes-Brocks syndrome due to the novel de novo variant of SALL1 gene. Townes-Brocks syndrome without anal atresia is rare. Above finding has also enriched the mutational spectrum of the SALL1 gene.

Objective:To investigate the effects of standardized treatment combined with medical nutrition intervention on blood glucose level, body mass management and glucose metabolism at 3 months postpartum in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A total of 114 patients with GDM who received treatment in Shunyi District Hospital of Beijing from June 2017 to October 2019 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into observation group ( n = 57) and control group ( n = 57). The control group was treated with standardized therapy, and the observation group was treated with standardized therapy combined with medical nutrition intervention. Blood glucose level, body mass management, glucose metabolism outcomes at 3 months postpartum, pregnancy outcome, and neonatal outcome were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, 2-hour plasma glucose (2hPG) after breakfast, and 2hPG after dinner in the observation group were (5.20 ± 0.34)%, (4.69 ± 0.31) mmol/L, (7.32 ± 2.13) mmol/L, and (7.54 ± 2.36) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(6.38 ± 0.42)%, (6.34 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (9.01 ± 2.27) mmol/L, (9.35 ± 2.47) mmol/L, t = 16.48, 22.79, 4.09, 4.00, all P < 0.001]. The increases in body mass and body mass index during pregnancy in the observation groups were (12.19 ± 2.35) kg and (4.52 ± 1.13) kg/m 2, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(16.21 ± 2.64) kg, (6.11 ± 1.25) kg/m 2, t = 8.58, 7.12, both P < 0.001]. The abnormal rate of glucose metabolism at 3 months postpartum in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.3% (3/57) vs. 8.8% (5/57), χ2 = 0.53, P = 0.462]. The incidences of premature rupture of membranes, polyhydramnios, and cesarean section in the observation group were 5.3% (3/57), 14.0% (8/57) and 15.8% (9/57), which were significantly lower than those in the control group [22.8% (13/57), 35.1% (20/57), 40.4% (23/57), χ2 = 7.27, 6.81, 8.51, all P < 0.05]. There were no significant differences in the incidences of pregnancy-induced hypertension and postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups (both P > 0.05). The incidences of premature births, macrosomia, respiratory distress, neonatal hypoglycemia and hyperbilirubinemia in the observation groups were 5.3% (3/57), 3.5% (2/57), 7.0% (4/57), 3.5% (2/57), 5.3% (3/57), respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [22.8% (13/57), 17.5% (10/57), 21.1% (12/57), 15.8% (9/57), 19.3% (11/57), χ2 = 7.27, 5.96, 5.60, 4.93, 5.21, all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Standardized treatment combined with medical nutrition intervention can effectively reduce blood glucose level in patients with GMD, control body mass, and improve glucose metabolism at 3 months after delivery.
