Objective:To analyze the types and distribution of pathogenic variants for neonatal genetic diseases in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province.Methods:One thousand neonates (48 ~ 42 h after birth) born to Huzhou region were selected as the study subjects. Dry blood spot samples were collected from the newborns, and targeted capture high-throughput sequencing was carried out for pathogenic genes underlying 542 inherited diseases. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Among the 1 000 newborns, the male to female ratio was 1.02 : 1.00. No pathogenic variants were detected in 253 cases, whilst 747 cases were found to carry at least one pathogenic variant, which yielded a carrier rate of 74.7%. The most frequently involved pathogenic gene was FLG, followed by GJB2, UGT1A1, USH2A and DUOX2. The variants were classified as homozygous, compound heterozygous, and hemizygous variants. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), 213 neonates were verified to have carried pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic variants, with a positive rate of 21.3%. The most commonly involved genes had included UGT1A1, FLG, GJB2, MEFV and G6PD. Conclusion:Newborn screening based on high-throughput sequencing technology can expand the scope of screening and improve the positive predictive value. Genetic counseling based on the results can improve the patients′ medical care and reduce neonatal mortality and childhood morbidity, while provide assistance to family members′ health management and reproductive decisions.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of contracted nursing services for disabled persons.Methods:A qualitative study on the feasibility of contracted nursing services for disabled persons was conducted from August 2020 to October 2020 with the phenomenological method. Community nurses were selected with the purpose of sampling method from Yuetan and Baizhifang Community Health Service Centers in Beijing Xicheng District for semi-constructed interviews, and 12 community nurses were finally interviewed according to the principle of information saturation. The research team took field notes, audio recordings and transcriptions of the interviews, coded to refine the themes, and fed back with the respondents to confirm the accuracy of the themes.Results:All the interviewed nurses thought that the contents of basic medical and public health required by the Guidance manual of contracted services of family doctors for disabled persons (the manual) including basic documentation, appointments, pre-diagnosis and post-diagnosis services, home care, rehabilitation nursing guidance, referral services and extended nursing services for the disabled and their families could be completed. All interviewees said that the manual had a guiding role in contracted services for disabled persons. Eight interviewed nurses believed that the manual involved referral services and rehabilitation care, but the technical guidance content did not meet the actual work needs and it should be supplemented and improved; 9 interviewees pointed out that there was a lack of communication with various types of disabled people in service practice, especially for those with vision, hearing, mental disabilities and disabled children; 7 interviewees said that it the free home care for the disabled was not sustainable. Conclusion:The contracted nursing services for disabled persons are feasible and the manual has a guiding role for the practice,and some contents need to be added in the manual to further improve service capacity for disabled people.

Objective:To compare the predictive value of the Delayed Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting Risk Index (DCINV-RI) and the Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting Risk Prediction Tool (CINV-RPT) in the risk assessment of delayed chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (DCINV) after arterial chemoembolization in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:From May 2020 to May 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 212 primary liver cancer patients with arterial chemoembolization in the Department of Intervention Therapy of Jiangsu Cancer Hospital as the research object. The patients were divided into the control group ( n=80) and the DCIVN group ( n=132) according to the occurrence of DCIVN. DCINV risk assessment of patients was performed using DCINV-RI and CINV-RPT. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ( AUC) , sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index were used to compare the predictive value of the two tools. Results:Among the 212 patients with primary liver cancer, 62.26% (132/212) had grade 2 or above DCINV. When using the two tools for DCINV risk assessment, the scores of patients in the DCINV group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The AUC for the DCINV-RI score was 0.852. When the total score was 20.500 points, the sensitivity, specificity, and Youden index were 0.838, 0.765, and 0.603 respectively ( P<0.01) , and the predictive value of DCINV-RI was the greatest at this point. The AUC of the CINV-RPT score was 0.924. When the total score was 12.500, the sensitivity, specificity and Youden index were 0.863, 0.841, and 0.703 respectively ( P<0.01) , and the predictive value of CINV-RPT was the greatest at this point. The AUC, sensitivity, specificity and Youden index of CINV-RPT score were higher than those of DCINV-RI score, and the difference was significantly statistical. Conclusions:The incidence of DCINV in patients with primary liver cancer after arterial chemoembolization is at a high level. Both DCINV-RI and CINV-RPT can effectively predict the risk of DCINV in patients with primary liver cancer after arterial chemoembolization, but the predictive value of CINV-RPT is higher than that of DCINV-RI.
