Objective To develop a WeChat based hospital-community-family nursing platform for premature infants and evaluate its effect on transitional care for premature infants.Methods A hospital-community-family nursing platform for premature infants using the WeChat applet was developed.A total of 96 preterm infants hospitalised in our hospital between January and September 2021 were enrolled and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group using a random number table,with 48 per group.The premature infants in the observation group were offered with transitional care intervention based on the WeChat based nursing platform developed by us,and those in the control group were on routine outpatient clinic visits and telephone follow-ups.The premature infants of the two groups were compared in terms of physical development,neuropsychological development and re-admission rate within the age of one year.Results A total of 46 premature infants in the observation group and 47 in the control group went through the study.After the intervention,the body length,weight and head circumference of the preterm infants in the observation group were all significantly greater than those in the control group,with F-values between the two groups of 5.338(height),4.133(weight)and 3.069(head circumference)(all P＜0.05).The total development quotient and the development quotient of each energy area in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group,with F-values between the two groups at 29.881(large movement),22.007(fine movement),17.722(adaptability),22.467(language),34.058(social)and 14.331(total developmental quotient)(all P＜0.001).The readmission rate of the premature infants in observation group was statistical significant lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusions The WeChat based hospital-community-family nursing platform is effective in transitional care for premature infants.It can promote physical development and neuropsychological development of premature infants,and reduce the readmission rate..

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a destructive pest native to America and has recently become an invasive insect pest in China. Because of its rapid spread and great risks in China, understanding of FAW genetic background and pesticide resistance is urgent and essential to develop effective management strategies. Here, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of a male FAW (SFynMstLFR) and compared re-sequencing results of the populations from America, Africa, and China. Strain identification of 163 individuals collected from America, Africa and China showed that both C and R strains were found in the American populations, while only C strain was found in the Chinese and African populations. Moreover, population genomics analysis showed that populations from Africa and China have close relationship with significantly genetic differentiation from American populations. Taken together, FAWs invaded into China were most likely originated from Africa. Comparative genomics analysis displayed that the cytochrome p450 gene family is extremely expanded to 425 members in FAW, of which 283 genes are specific to FAW. Treatments of Chinese populations with twenty-three pesticides showed the variant patterns of transcriptome profiles, and several detoxification genes such as AOX, UGT and GST specially responded to the pesticides. These findings will be useful in developing effective strategies for management of FAW in China and other invaded areas.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of tissue and blood long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) detection in the patients with hepatocellular cancer(HCC).Methods The HCC tissue sample,blood sample, suspected HCC puncture sample and blood sample from the persons undergoing healthy physical examination were selected for conducting the study.The six lncRNAs which were more than 5-fold expression amount were picked out in the 338 transcripts with abnormal high expression.The expression amount of lncRNA AK057037 in HCC tissue and serm tissue was detected by using the real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization.Then the results were statistically analyzed.Results The six lncRNAs were highly ex-pressed in the tissues and blood of the liver cancer,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Compared with healthy people,the relative expression of AK057037 in the tissues and blood of the liver cancer increased significantly,and the relative expression level in tumor and paracancerous tissues was statistically significant(P<0.05).As the tumor progresses,the relative expression of AK057037 was further enhanced. There was a higher relative expression in advanced liver cancer especially,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of the receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under curve of AK057037 was 0.834(95% CI 0.705-0.918)in the blood specimen,and its diagnostic efficiency was better than that of commonly used nucleic acid marker miR-29a.Conclusion lncRNA AK057037 is highly ex-pressed in HCC sample and blood,and can be used for clinical detection of HCC.

Objective The incidence rate of pressure ulcer is high in critical patients and off-loading mattresses and reposi-tioning are known as effective interventions for the prevention of pressure ulcers .However, evidence is lacking for selection of the right type of mattresses and suitable interval of repositioning .This study was to compare the effects of two types of off-loading mattresses with two different repositioning intervals in preventing pressure ulcers in critical patients . Methods According to the design of this ran-domized controlled trial , we made a training plan concerning the participants , methods of intervention and comparison , criteria and methods of observation , and methods of recording , and trained 26 nurses from 7 hospitals .Using non-inferiority design and the method of stratified blocked randomization , we divided 1194 patients with the risk of pressure ulcer into a trial group ( n=596) and a control group ( n=598) , a viscoelastic sponge mattress with every-four-hours repositioning used for the former and an automatic aeration mat-tress with every-two-hours repositioning for the latter , both for 7 successive days .We examined the patients every day , recorded the in-cidence and stages of pressure ulcer , and compared the data obtained between the two groups of patients . Results The total inci-dence rate of pressure ulcer was 1.09%(13/1194), significantly lower in the trial than in the control group (0.34%[2/596] vs 1.84%[11/598], P=0.012). Conclusion A viscoelastic sponge mattress with every-four-hours repositioning is superior to an automatic aeration mattress with every-two-hours repositioning and therefore is preferred to the latter in preventing the incidence of pressure ulcer in critical patients in the ICU .

ObjectiveTo study the value of strain ratio from longitudinal section and cross section in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules using ultrasonic elastography.MethodsA total of 118 patients with 153 thyroid nodules underwent examinations with real-time ultrasonic elastography to obtain the strain ratio from longitudinal section and cross section. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the value of elastography. The nodules are divided into two groups, group one included nodules which were near the isthmus and group two included other nodules. Diagnostic results were compared with pathological results.ResultsThe area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the strain ratios for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules were 0.906 and 0.844. There was no statistical difference (Z=1.542,P>0.05). The best diagnostic cut-off points of the strain ratios were 3.65 and 3.58. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of the strain ratio from longitudinal section for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules were 81.2%, 80.8%, 81.0%, 87.2% and 71.2% and those of strain ratio from cross section were 77.2%, 76.9%, 77.1%, 84.4% and 63.4%. In group one, the AUC were 0.903 and 0.830. There was no statistical difference (Z=1.125,P>0.05). The best diagnostic cut-off points were 3.30 and 3.28. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of the strain ratio from longitudinal section for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules were 86.2%, 68.8%, 80.0%, 83.3% and 73.3% and those of strain ratio from cross section were 78.6%, 58.8%, 71.1%, 75.9% and 62.5%. In group two, the AUC were 0.906 and 0.852. There was no statistical difference (Z=0.936,P>0.05). The best diagnostic cut-off points were 3.33 and 3.71. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, negative predictive value of the strain ratio from longitudinal section for differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules were 90.1%, 75.7%, 85.2%, 87.7% and 80.0% and those of strain ratio from cross section were 84.7%, 70.3%, 80.6%, 83.6% and 72.2%. ConclusionReal-time ultrasonic elastography is helpful to the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, but there is no statistical difference between the strain ratio from longitudinal section and cross section.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship of the mutational status of the ND4 gene and the clinical features of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients with ND4 mutations.

METHODSUsing PCR combined with directly sequencing, we identified somatic mutations of ND4 in 121 primary AML patients to couple with their clinical features.

RESULTSThere were 58 male patients and 63 female patients (median age 49 years, 10-86 years). Eight of 121 patients (6.6%) with de novo AML were found harboring missense mutation of ND4 gene, including 3 patients with A131V (3/8, 37.5%), 2 patients with A404T (2/8, 25%), 1 patient with F149L (1/8, 12.5%), 1 patient with G242D (1/8, 12.5%) and 1 patient with Y409H (1/8, 12.5%), respectively. Patients with ND4 mutations were associated with good karyotype (P=0.049), regardless of gender, age, white blood cell, hemoglobin, platelet, blast cells of bone marrow or immunophenotype (P>0.05). There were no statistical significance in mutations of FLT3-ITD, NPM1, CEBPA, c-KIT and DNMT3A between patients with ND4 mutation and wild-type (wt) ND4 (P>0.05). The median overall survival of patients with ND4 mutations and wt ND4 were all not reached. The median relapse-free survival were not reached and 29(2-53) months, respectively (P>0.05). There was no significance in the ratio of CR and RR patients between wt ND4 and ND4 mutated groups (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONIt was concluded that novel ND4 mutations could be found in de novo AML patients, especially in patients with good karyotype. Thus, ND4 mutations might play an important role in AML prognosis. However, whether the mitochondria dysfunction contribute to leukemogenesis needs to be further investigated.
