The chloroplast genome encodes many key proteins involved in photosynthesis and other metabolic processes, and metabolites synthesized in chloroplasts are essential for normal plant growth and development. Root-UVB (ultraviolet radiation B)-sensitive (RUS) family proteins composed of highly conserved DUF647 domain belong to chloroplast proteins. They play an important role in the regulation of various life activities such as plant morphogenesis, material transport and energy metabolism. This article summarizes the recent advances of the RUS family proteins in the growth and development of plants such as embryonic development, photomorphological construction, VB6 homeostasis, auxin transport and anther development, with the aim to facilitate further study of its molecular regulation mechanism in plant growth and development.

ObjectiveTo adapt the Stanford Expectations of Treatment Scale（SETS） into Chinese（C-SETS） and test the feasibility， validity and reliability of its application in patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome（IBS-D） with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome treated with traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）. MethodsWe obtained authorisation from the developer of the SETS， and followed the principle of "two-way translation" to translate the SETS by literal translation and back translation to form the C-SETS. Ninety-six IBS-D patients with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome were enrolled as respondents and filled out C-SETS before receiving treatment； the feasibility was assessed by the recall rate， completion rate and the duration of filling out the scale； the reliability was assessed by Cronbach's α； the structural validity was assessed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis， and the content validity was assessed by correlation analysis. ResultsThe C-SETS consists of 10 items， with the 1st， 3rd， and 5th rating items constituting the Positive Expectations subscale， and the 2nd， 4th， and 6th rating items constituting the Negative Expectations subscale， each of which is rated on a 7-point Likert Scale. The recall of C-SETS was 100%（96/96）， the completion rate was 89.58%（86/96）； Cronbach's α for the Positive and Negative Treatment Expectations subscales were 0.845 and 0.854， respectively； exploratory factor analysis showed that the coefficient of commonality for all six entries was larger than 0.4， and that the six entries could be used by both factors to explain 77.092% of the total variance； validation factor analysis showed that the goodness-of-fit index， comparative fit index， root mean square of approximation error， canonical fit coefficient， and chi-square degrees of freedom ratio took the values of 0.943， 1.003， 0， 0.943， and 0.626， respectively； and the results of Spearman's analysis suggested that the C-SETS had good content validity. ConclusionThe C-SETS has well feasibility， reliability， and validity， which initially proves that it can be used as a tool to assess the treatment expectation of patients with IBS-D with liver-constraint and spleen-deficiency syndrome before receiving TCM treatment.

At present， the process and methodology of patient guidelines （PGs） development varies greatly and lacks systematic and standardised guidance. In addition to the interviews with PG developers， we have sorted out the relevant methodology for the adaptation and development of existing clinical practice guideline recommendations and facilitated expert deliberations to achieve a consensus， so as to finally put forward a proposal for guidance on the process and methodology for the development of PGs. The development of PGs can be divided into the preparation stage， the construction stage， and the completion stage in general， but the specific steps vary according to the different modes of development of PGs. The development process of Model 1 is basically the same as the patient version of the guideline development process provided by the International Guidelines Network， i.e.， team formation， screening of recommendations， guideline drafing， user testing and feedback， approval and dissemination. The developer should also first determine the need for and scope of translating the clinical practice guideline into a patient version during the preparation phase. Model 2 adds user experience and feedback to the conventional clinical practice guideline development process （forming a team， determining the scope of the PG， searching， evaluating and integrating evidence， forming recommendations， writing the guideline， and expert review）. Based on the different models， we sort out the process and methods of PG development and introduce the specific methods of PG development， including how to identify the clinical problem and how to form recommendations based on the existing clinical practice guidelines， with a view to providing reference for guideline developers and related researchers.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of contrast-enhanced chest CT in the detection of responsible vessels for hemoptysis before selective arterial embolization(SAE).Methods The clinical data of 74 patients with hemoptysis trea-ted with interventional therapy and preoperative contrast-enhanced chest CT and digital subtraction angiography(DSA)were ana-lyzed retrospectively.The responsible vessels were identified and then embolized via angiography.The detection of the responsible vessels via preoperative contrast-enhanced chest CT was analyzed.The patients were followed up to observe the efficacy and compli-cations,and the influencing factors of interventional efficacy and recurrence were analyzed.Results A total of 245 responsible ves-sels were detected by preoperative contrast-enhanced chest CT,including bronchial arteries(n=178),ectopic bronchial arteries(n=10)and non-bronchial systemic artery(NBSA)(n=57),which could accurately show the anatomical information of responsible vessels.A total of 4 posterior intercostal arteries were missed.The diagnostic accuracy was 98.4％(245/249).All patients were followed up for 12 to 25.6 months.The immediate hemostasis rate was 93.2％(69/74)and the effective rate was 79.7％(59/74),respectively.The factors affecting the efficacy were bronchial artery to pulmonary circulation fistula,pleural thickening at the bleeding site,and underly-ing lung disease.Among the 59 patients with effective treatment,underlying lung disease was the influencing factor for postoperative recurrence.Conclusion Contrast-enhanced chest CT can provide anatomical information about the responsible vessels for interven-tional therapy of hemoptysis,improving surgical efficiency and reducing the recurrence rate of hemoptysis.

Objective:To study the clinical features and risk factors of pulmonary hemorrhage in extremely preterm (EPT) infants.Methods:From February 2018 to January 2022, EPT infants admitted to NICU of our hospital and diagnosed with pulmonary hemorrhage were retrospectively assigned into the observation group and those without pulmonary hemorrhage were assigned into the control group. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to compare the clinical features and determine risk factors of pulmonary hemorrhage in EPT infants.Results:A total of 114 EPT infants were included, including 28 cases (24.6%) in the observation group with pulmonary hemorrhage and 86 cases in the control group. Pulmonary hemorrhage mainly occurred within the first week after birth. Univariate analysis showed that the observation group had higher incidences of following events than the control group: birth asphyxia, delivery room intubation, severe respiratory distress syndrome, hyperglycemia, thrombocytopenia, severe acidosis, shock, score for neonatal acute physiology with perinatal extension-Ⅱ (SNAPPE-Ⅱ) ≥37 and the highest lactate level. Birth weight was lower in the observation group than the control group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that SNAPPE-Ⅱ≥37, shock and hyperglycemia were risk factors of pulmonary hemorrhage ( OR=4.081, 4.610 and 3.355, respectively, all P<0.05). The incidences of mortality and intracranial hemorrhage in the observation group were higher than the control group. The duration of mechanical ventilation in the observation group was longer than the control group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed in the duration of nasal continuous positive airway pressure, assist mechanical ventilation and total oxygen use, the incidences of grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity and the length of hospital stay ( P>0.05). Conclusions:SNAPPE-Ⅱ≥37, shock and hyperglycemia are early risk factors for pulmonary hemorrhage in EPT infants. EPT infants with pulmonary hemorrhage have higher incidences of mortality and intracranial hemorrhage, requiring longer periods of mechanical ventilation.

Objective:To study the use of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CE-US) and contrast-enhanced MRI(CE-MRI) in evaluation of therapeutic effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients with HCC (with 114 lesions), who were treated with TACE in Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2018. There were 53 males and 7 females, age ranged from 47 to 84 (mean age 61.9) years. CE-US, CE-MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were performed in all these patients within one week after TACE. Using DSA as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy in the detection of residual lesions were compared between the two imaging methods. The consistency of results between CE-US and CE-MRI was analyzed.Results:CE-MRI and CE-US showed presence of active tumor foci (residual and/or recurrent lesion) in 78 lesions, and complete inactivation of HCC foci in 26 lesions. Ten lesions were diagnosed as active foci by CE-MRI, which were missed by CE-US. The diagnostic accuracy of CE-MRI was 100.0% (114/114), which was significantly better than the 91.2% (104/114) of CE-US ( P<0.05). The Kappa value between CE-US and CE-MRI was 0.781. The diagnostic coincidence between CE-MRI and CE-US was quite high. Among small lesions of less than 5 cm, the diagnostic accuracy of CE-MRI was 100.0% (78/78), which was significantly better than the 88.5% (69/78) of CE-US ( P<0.05). In large lesions of greater than 5 cm, the diagnostic accuracy of CE-MRI was comparable to that of CE-US. The difference was not significant ( P>0.05). The sensitivity of CE-MRI in detection of active lesions was higher than that of CE-US, and the specificity of the two imaging methods was consistent. The Kappa value between CE-US and CE-MRI was 0.747 for small lesions of less than 5cm, and 0.873 for large lesions of greater than 5 cm. The diagnostic coincidence between CE-MRI and CE-US was quite high. Conclusion:CE-MRI and CE-US can both be used as reliable imaging methods for evaluating the therapeutic effect of TACE for HCC.

Objective To investigate the effect of early intervention with mirror therapy on hemiparetie survivors of ischemic stroke.Methods Thirty-six hemiplegic patients within one month after a stroke were randomly divided into a mirror therapy group (MT group,n=18) and a routine rehabilitation control group (RRC group,n=18).The participants in the MT group received MT for 45 min/d,5 d/wk for 3 weeks in addition to conventional stroke rehabilitation.Those in the RRC group received exercise therapy at the same frequency without the mirror protocol.The Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),Wolf motor function test (WMFT),functional ambulation category scale (FAC),Brunnstrom stages of motor recovery,and the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were used to assess changes in the upper limb,gross hand dexterity and lower limb recovery before and right after the interventions,as well as one and two months after the treatment.Results Significant improvement was observed in the limb function of both groups after the treatment.Compared with the RRC group,there was significantly greater improvement observed in the MT group.This was true of the FMA ratings at all time points,the average WMFT scores one and two months after the intervention,the FAC ratings two months after the intervention,and the Brunnstrom stages at both one and two months after the intervention.However,no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the average MAS scores was observed at any time point.Conclusion Early intervention with MT can significantly accelerate the recovery of a paretic upper limb aud improve walking ability after stroke.Such intervention is worthy of promotion and application in clinical practice.

The liver in the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory of visceral manifestation has rich connotations. Thestructure and function of liver differed from that of liver in modern recognition. Research on TCM theory has partiallyexplained the liver theory. The function of controlling dispersion of liver was associated with neuro-endocrine-immunesystem, liver sinus endothelial function, and metallothionein, etc. While the activity of storing blood of liver related withblood coagulation factors, anticoagulant and so on. The functional interaction between Zang-organ and Fu-organ maycorrelate with the lung-liver axis and liver-intestine axis. The review summarized the modern explanation on liverfunction in TCM and its relationship with Fu-organs to help the development of TCM basic theory in liver function.
