OBJECTIVE To explore the construction of selection system for drug directory of the county-level medical community based on multi-criteria decision analysis， and provide decision-making basis for the selection of drug directory of medical community. METHODS Taking county-level medical community in Chongqing as an example，Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process were employed to construct the selection system for drug directory of the county-level medical community. Selected drugs were quantitatively scored based on the constructed index system， and the drug directory was selected according to the drug’s comprehensive score. The implementation effect of the directory was then evaluated through questionnaire surveys one year after the implementation of the directory. RESULTS The expert authority coefficients of the two rounds of consultation were＞ 0.8， with Kendall’s W values of 0.213 and 0.196， respectively （P＜0.001）. Finally， the selection system for drug directory of the medical community was determined to include five evaluation dimensions： safety， effectiveness， economy， accessibility， and innovation， along with eight evaluation indicators. In the drug directory selected according to the above method， the proportions of centrally procured drugs， medical insurance drugs， and essential drugs had all increased compared to before the selection； the comprehensive scores of chemical drugs ranged from 50.25 to 96.31 scores， and the proportion of drugs scoring between 70 and 100 scores had increased from 78.06% before selection to 85.82%. Among them， antiparasitic drugs had the highest comprehensive scores， while drugs for the digestive tract and metabolism were the most numerous. The evaluation scores of each indicator and the comprehensive scores of drugs in the drug directory after the selection process increased significantly than before selection （P＜ 0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The selection system for drug directory of the county-level medical community constructed in this study is scientific， objective and operable. This process facilitates the promotion of standardized and unified management of drugs in the medical community.

Global developmental delay/intellectual disability (GDD/ID) is an enormous group of neurodevelopmental disorders with diverse clinical and genetic heterogeneity. The estimated prevalence of GDD/ID was 1%-3%, affecting about 150 million people. GDD/ID is one of the leading causes of disability in children worldwide. The causes of GDD/ID are complex, comprising genetic and environmental factors. It is often co-morbid with a variety of psychiatric behavioral disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Owing to the improvement of genetic technology, monogenic GDD/ID has been one of the hot-spot research in genomic era, and the relevant preventive measures deserve extensive attention. In this review, we summarized the advances in genetics and prevention of monogenic GDD/ID.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Cuscutae Semen on the learning and memory ability， N6-methyladenosine （m⁶A）-related modification enzymes and total m⁶A level in hippocampus of the offspring of fear-damaged pregnant rats. MethodForty-five pregnant rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group and Cuscutae Semen group. From the 1^st day to the 19^th day of pregnancy， rats in the model group and the Cuscutae Semen group were induced by observing electric shock of other rats. The Cuscutae Semen group was treated with 5 g·kg^-1·d^-1 Cuscutae Semen decoction （ig）， while the other two groups were treated with the same amount of purified water. The offspring were assigned following the grouping method of their maternal generation. The behavioral changes of the offspring were tested by Morris water maze on 21^st day after birth， and the development of hippocampal neurons was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The mRNA and protein expression levels of methyltransferase-like 3 （METTL3）， METTL14， Wilms tumor 1 associated protein （WTAP）， fat mass and obesity-associated protein （FTO） and Alk B homologue 5 （ALKBH5） were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）， Western blot and immunohistochemistry （IHC）. The total content of m⁶A in hippocampus was determined by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS）. ResultCompared with the conditions in the blank group， the average latency duration in the model group was prolonged， and the number of entries in the target quadrant， the target quadrant duration and the number of crossing the platform were decreased （P<0.01）. Additionally， the model group had seriously damaged structure of hippocampal CA1 and CA3 neurons， swollen mitochondria， expanded endoplasmic reticulum， and small number of synapses with some having blurred structure， and the expression levels of METTL3， METTL14， FTO， ALKBH5 as well as the total m⁶A level were lower than those in the blank group （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Cuscutae Semen group had shortened average latency duration， increased number of entries in the target quadrant， target quadrant duration and number of crossing the platform （P<0.01）， alleviated damage of hippocampal CA1 and CA3 neurons， fine structure of mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum， and clear， intact and dense synapses. And the expression levels of METTL3， METTL14， FTO as well as the total level of m⁶A were up regulated， while the expression level of ALKBH5 was down regulated in the Cuscutae Semen group （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionCuscutae Semen improved the learning and memory ability of the offspring of the rats affected by fear damaging kidney during pregnancy， protected hippocampal neurons， and up-regulated the expression levels of METTL3， METTL14， FTO and the total m⁶A level in hippocampus.

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) in a knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rat model and its influence on proteins associated with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Methods: A total of 32 specific-pathogen-free grade Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Eight rats were randomly selected as the control group (CG). The remaining 24 rats underwent intra-articular injections with 0.2 mL of 4％ papain to prepare the KOA rat models. After the model was established, the 24 rats were randomly and equally assigned to 3 groups, including a model group (MG), a Tuina group (TG), and a positive medicine group (PMG), with 8 rats in each group. The Lequesne score was applied to evaluate the success of model development. After the model was successfully established, the CG did not receive any intervention, and the TG was treated with local, clockwise annular Rou-Kneading around the knee joint with the thumbs. The pressure in the longitudinal direction was 3 N, and the frequency was designed to be 120-140 times/min for 15 min, followed by flexing the joint 10 times. The PMG was intragastrically administered with celecoxib [24 mg/(kg·bw)] every day. These interventions were performed once a day, 6 d per week, for a total of 4 weeks. After treatment, the Lequesne score was applied again to assess the severity of the KOA in the rats; hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and a mixture of equal volumes of aqueous solutions of safranin O-fast green were used to stain and observe the cartilage morphology and structure; the modified Mankin score was applied to evaluate the pathology; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method was used to quantify the C-telopeptide fragments of type Ⅱ collagen (CTX-Ⅱ) and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP); Western blotting was then applied to quantify Wnt4, β-catenin, matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP-13), and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) protein expression; immunohistochemistry was conducted to determine the percentage of collagen type X (ColX)-positive cells. Results: The Lequesne score of the TG and PMG was both lower than that of the MG (P<0.01); the HE staining, safranin O-fast green stained morphology and structure, and modified Mankin scores of the TG and the PMG were also better than those in the MG (P<0.01). Compared with the CG, the amounts of CTX-Ⅱ and COMP in the serum were significantly increased (P<0.01); the expression of Wnt4, β-catenin, MMP-13, and BMP-2 proteins in the cartilage tissue was significantly increased (P<0.01), and the percentage of ColX-positive chondrocytes was significantly increased (P<0.01) in the MG. In comparison with those in the MG, the amounts of CTX-Ⅱ and COMP were significantly decreased (P<0.01), the expression of Wnt4, β-catenin, MMP-13, and BMP-2 proteins was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the percentage of ColX-positive chondrocytes was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the TG and PMG. Compared with the PMG, the contents of CTX-Ⅱ and COMP and the expression of Wnt4, β-catenin, MMP-13, and BMP-2 proteins were decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01); the percentage of ColX-positive chondrocytes was significantly decreased (P<0.01) in the TG. Conclusion: Tuina can relieve the degeneration of KOA, and the mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, the decrease in MMP-13 and BMP-2 protein expression, the reduction in chondrocyte extracellular matrix degradation, and slowing down the terminal cell differentiation.

Objective:To summarize the prenatal diagnostic characteristics of monogenic global developmental delay/intellectual disability(GDD/ID) pedigrees.Methods:This study retrospectively collected the prenatal molecular diagnostic results of 43 pedigrees that were affected with monogenic GDD/ID in the genetic counseling clinic of Peking University First Hospital from January 2015 to June 2019. The results of prenatal molecular tests were validated after birth or pregnancy termination. Pregnancy outcomes and healthy condition of the offspring were followed up. All data were analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis.Results:Among the 43 pedigrees, 24 were affected with autosomal recessive inheritance (AR) GDD/ID, in which six (25%) fetuses were found to carry two pathogenic variants; 13 (55%) had only one pathogenic variant; five (20%) did not harbor any variant. GDD/ID inherited in an autosomal dominant inheritance (AD) pattern was found in 13 pedigrees, in which 11 fetuses carried no variants while the other two fetuses had the same variants as the proband had (in one pedigree, a low-level variant was detected in the peripheral blood sample of the father while absent in peripheral blood samples of parents in the other pedigree, so it was suspected that the variants of these two affected fetuses were inherited from parental mosaicism). In the other six pedigrees with X-linked inheritance (XL) of GDD/ID, one male fetus was found to harbor the pathogenic variant, while no variants were detected in the others. Maternal contamination was excluded in all prenatal samples using short tandem repeat for linkage analysis. Postnatal validations were consistent with the prenatal tests. All nine affected fetuses were terminated, and the other thirty-four children were delivered and in good health.Conclusions:Prenatal molecular diagnostic test is an effective method to detect pathogenic variants during the first and second trimesters for pedigrees affected by monogenic GDD/ID. For pedigrees affected with AD or XL patterns caused by de novo mutations, potential parental mosaicism should be noted and prenatal diagnostic tests are also recommended.

Objective:To summarize the characteristics of genetic variation and prenatal diagnosis in pedigrees with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) and elucidate the value of prenatal diagnosis in preventing the birth of children with X-ALD.Methods:Twenty pedigrees, clinically diagnosed with X-ALD in Peking University First Hospital from November 2012 and March 2019, were included in this retrospective study. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and amniotic fluid or chorionic villi samples of probands and their families for detecting variants in ATP-binding cassette subfamily D member 1 ( ABCD1) gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Sanger sequencing. Linkage analysis was also performed on five microsatellite markers near ABCD1 gene to exclude maternal contamination. Characteristics of ABCD1 gene variants and prenatal diagnosis of X-ALD pedigrees were summarized by descriptive statistics. Results:Twenty ABCD1 gene variants were identified in the 20 pedigrees. The variants in three probands that were not detected by next-generation sequencing were identified by PCR-Sanger sequencing. Among the mothers of the 20 probands, 17 carried ABCD1 variants and three did not. We performed 24 prenatal diagnoses on 20 pregnancies (24 fetuses) and identified eight fetuses with variants who were finally terminated. The 16 cases without variants were born alive. The validation results obtained after termination or delivery were consistent with those performed prenatally. Conclusions:No hotspot variants in ABCD1 gene are detected in these X-ALD patients and most variants are maternally inherited. PCR-Sanger sequencing is an effective method for detecting ABCD1 variants. Prenatal diagnosis for mothers who had a body with X-ALD could prevent another one from birth.

Objective:To investigate the application value of transanal endoscopic partial intersphincteric resection for ultra-low rectal cancer.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 9 ultra-low rectal cancer patients undergoing transanal endoscopic partial intersphincteric resection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from December 2017 to August 2020 were collected. There were 8 males and 1 female, aged from 39 to 62 years, with a median age of 58 years. Observation indicators: (1) surgical and postoperative situations; (2) postoperative pathological examination; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination and telephone interview to detect postoperative tumor local recurrence and distant metastasis, survival of patients, ileostomy closure, anus function at 3 months after ileostomy closure, male urinary and sexual function and female sexual function at 6 months after rectal surgery. The follow-up was up to February 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1)Surgical and postoperative situations: all 9 patients underwent surgery successfully, without conversion to open surgery. Seven of the 9 patients underwent transanal endoscopic partial intersphincteric resection and the rest of 2 patients with tumor close to the dentate line underwent transanal endoscopic modified partial intersphincteric resection. The operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 9 patients were (267±48)minutes and 50 mL(range, 30?60 mL), respectively. Five of the 9 patients underwent transanal specimen extraction, and 4 patients underwent specimen extraction by an abdominal incision. All 9 patients underwent transanal hand-sewn coloanal anastomosis and protective ileostomy, and two pelvic drainage tubes were indwelled. Transanal drainage tube was placed after anastomosis in 3 of 9 patients. Three cases had intraoperative adverse events and there were no intraoperative adverse event reported in the remaining 6 cases. The time to postoperative initial stoma exhausting and time to postoperative first semi-liquid food intake of 9 patients were 3 days(range, 2?4 days) and 5 days(range, 4?7 days), respectively. One case had Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ complication and 2 cases had Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complication during postoperative 30 days and the rest of 6 cases had no postoperative complication. No anastomotic stricture, hemorrhage or urinary retention occurred in 9 patients. The duration of postoperative hospital stay and cost of hospitalization of 9 patients were 11 days(range, 9?23 days) and (6.8±1.3)×10 4 yuan, respectively. (2) Postoperative pathological examination: the diameter of tumor, the distance of distal resection margin, the number of lymph node dissected and the number of positive lymph node of 9 patients were (3.2±1.4)cm, 0.6 cm(range, 0.5?1.5 cm), 17±7 and 0(range, 0?7), respectively. The tumor histopathological type was adenocarcinoma with negative tumor nodule and nerve infiltration in all 9 patients. Only 1 case of 9 patients was found vascular tumor thrombus. The surgical specimens of all 9 patients showed negative for distal and circumferential margins and complete mesorectum. Results of postoperative pathological TNM staging showed that of 6 cases with preoperative T1-T2 staging tumors, 3 cases were classified as pT2N0M0 stage, and 3 cases were classified as pT2N1M0 stage, pT2N2M0 stage or pT3N1M0 stage, respectively. Three cases with preoperative T3 staging tumors were classified as ypT0N0M0 stage, ypT2N0M0 stage or ypT3N0M0 stage, respectively. (3) Follow-up: all 9 patients were followed up for 6 to 13 months, with a median follow-up time of 9 months. No local recurrence, distant metastasis or tumor-related death was found during follow-up. Of the 9 patients, only 1 case did not receive stoma closure and undergo anus function assessment, and the rest of 8 cases underwent stoma closure. Results of postoperative anus function assessment showed 5 cases of accessibility, 2 cases of mild impairment and 1 case of severe impairment. Results of urogenital function assessment showed 6 cases of the 8 male patients of mild impairment, 1 case of moderate impairment and 1 case of severe impairment in micturition function, respectively, and 3 cases of accessibility, 2 cases of mild impairment and 3 cases of moderate impairment in sexual function, respectively. The female patient underwent accessibility of sexual function and the six-item version of the female sexual function index was 25. Conclusion:Transanal endoscopic partial intersphincteric resection can be used for the treatment of ultra-low rectal cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of Omniview combined with volume contrast imaging (VCI) in measuring the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle.Methods:Fifty fetuses whose lateral ventricles were widened, corpus callosum was poorly developed, and who had hydrocephalus as indicated by routine ultrasonography performed between October 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019 in Hangzhou Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital were included in this study. The width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle was measured using routine ultrasonography, Omniview-VCI technique, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in each fetus and compared among the three techniques.Results:The width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle measured by Omniview-VCI and MRI techniques was (1.17 ± 0.15) cm and (1.20 ± 0.12) cm, respectively, which was significantly greater than that measured by routine ultrasonography [(1.11 ± 0.13) cm, t = 2.137, 3.597, both P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle measured by Omniview-VCI technique versus MRI technique ( t = 1.104, P > 0.05). The mean examination cost and waiting time of Omniview-VCI technique were (222.15 ± 3.20) yuan and (0.24 ± 0.04) days, which were less or shorter than those of MRI technique [(597.23 ± 11.02) yuan, (1.02 ± 0.10) days, t = 213.126, 51.210, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Omniview-VCI technique can replace MRI and accurately measure the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle. It provides a more simple, fast and effective method for evaluating fetal near-field lateral ventricle, and can become a conventional application technique.
