Objective:To explore the application effect of womb-like bird's nest nursing and parent-child kangaroo nursing model in the developmental care of premature infants.Methods:A total of 80 premature infants admitted to our hospital from Aug 2021 to Feb 2023 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group by random number table method.A total of 40 premature infants in the control group received routine nursing,and 40 premature infants in the observation group received womb-like bird's nest nursing combined with parent-child kangaroo nursing model.Both groups received continuous nursing for 2 weeks.The physiological indexes,growth and development,feeding intolerance,and parental satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The physiological indexes and growth and development of the observation group were better than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of feeding intolerance in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The score of parental satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:In the developmental care of premature infants,the combination of womb-like bird's nest nursing and parent-child kangaroo nursing model can improve the physiological indexes,promote the growth and development,and reduce the risk of feeding intolerance of premature infants,and thus improve the satisfaction of parents.

OBJECTIVES: The use of anticholinergic drugs in the elderly may lead to negative events such as falls, delirium, urinary retention and cognitive decline, and the higher the number of anticholinergic drugs use, the more such negative events occur. This study aims to analyze the risk factors associated with the prescription of total anticholinergic drugs in elderly outpatients and evaluate the rationality of anticholinergic drugs, and to provide a reference for reducing the adverse effects of anticholinergic drugs. METHODS: A list of drugs with anticholinergic activity based on the Beers criteria was established. The basic information (such as age and gender), clinical diagnosis, and medications of elderly outpatient were extracted from hospital electronic medical records, and the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) Scale was used to calculate the anticholinergic burden for each patient. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the potential risk factors for the occurrence of problems such as multiple medication and insomnia. RESULTS: A total of 1 840 prescriptions for elderly patients were reviewed. Of these patients, ACB score was more than or equal to 1 in 648 (35.22%) patients. Number of prescription medication (95% CI: 1.221 to 1.336) and insomnia (95% CI: 3.538 to 6.089) were independent factors affecting ACB scores (both P<0.01). Medications for patients of ACB scores were most commonly treated with the central nervous system drugs (such as alprazolam and eszopiclone) and for the cardiovascular system drugs (such as metoprolol and nifedipine). CONCLUSIONS There is a high rate of ACB drugs use in geriatric patients, and the clinical focus should be on multiple medication prescriptions, especially on the central nervous system drugs (such as alprazolam and eszopiclone) and cardiovascular system drugs (such as metoprolol and nifedipine). The prescription review should be emphasized to reduce adverse reactions to anticholinergic drugs in elderly patients.

To explore the pharmacogenomic markers that affect the platinum-based chemotherapy response in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), we performed a two-cohort of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including 34 for WES-based and 433 for microarray-based analyses, as well as two independent validation cohorts. After integrating the results of two studies, the genetic variations related to the platinum-based chemotherapy response were further determined by fine-mapping in 838 samples, and their potential functional impact were investigated by eQTL analysis and in vitro cell experiments. We found that a total of 68 variations were significant at P < 1 × 10^-3 in cohort 1 discovery stage, of which 3 SNPs were verified in 262 independent samples. A total of 541 SNPs were significant at P < 1 × 10^-4 in cohort 2 discovery stage, of which 8 SNPs were verified in 347 independent samples. Comparing the validated SNPs in two GWAS, ADCY1 gene was verified in both independent studies. The results of fine-mapping showed that the G allele carriers of ADCY1 rs2280496 and C allele carriers of rs189178649 were more likely to be resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy. In conclusion, our study found that rs2280496 and rs189178649 in ADCY1 gene were associated the sensitivity of platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Objective To investigate the changes and significance of the serum myeloperoxidase (MPO) and lipoxin (LXA4) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods From December 2010 to February 2011,143 patients with CHD (CHD group) and 44 patients without CHD (control group) were selected. The serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), MPO and LXA4 levels were assessed, and the ratio of MPO and LXA4 (M/L) was calculated. These indexes were compared between 2 groups. The influencing factors of MPO, LXA4 and M/L levels were analyzed by multifactor Logistic regression analysis. Results The serum levels of hs-CRP, LXA4, MPO, and M/L in CHD group were significantly higher than those in control group: 3.25 mg/L vs. 0.99 mg/L, 229.88 ng/L vs. 178.63 ng/L, 422.58 U/L vs. 186.85 U/L and (1.78 ± 0.52) U/ng vs. (1.02 ± 0.17) U/ng, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). Multifactor Logistic regression analysis result showed: LXA4 level, unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction and severe elevation of white blood cell count were the impact factors for the elevation of MPO (P<0.01 or<0.05);there were no correlations between MPO level and stable angina, mild and midrange elevation of white blood cell count (P>0.05). MPO was the impact factor for the increase of LXA4 (P<0.01), and stable angina was the impact factor for the decline of LXA4 (P =0.019);there were no correlations between LXA4 level and unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction and other factors (P>0.05). Stable angina, unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction were the impact factors for the elevation of M/L (P<0.01); there were no correlations between M/L and other factors (P>0.05). Conclusions The inflammatory response in patients with CHD is accompanied by the presence of inflammation and resolution imbalance.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the content validity and interrater reliability of the modified medication discrepancy tool (MDT). METHODS:According to the structure of MDT(English edition),the terms of MDT were modified,and 5 invited ex-perts used content validity indicator to test the content validity of MDT. The interrater reliability method was adopted to test the reli-ability of MDT. The interrater reliability was performed by 2 evaluators to same 20 research objects with modified MDT. RE-SULTS:Average item-level content validity index was over 0.800,and scale-level content validity index was 0.970. The item-level interrater reliability was between 0.667 and 1.000(P<0.01). The scale-level interrater reliability was 0.840(P<0.01). CONCLU-SIONS:The modified MDT has good content validity and interrater reliability,and can be used to evaluate discharged medication discrepancies in China.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of homeobox gene A5 (HOXA5) in multidrug resistance of human small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells and the possibility of using HOXA5 as the therapeutic targets for SCLC treatment.

METHODSWe examined HOXA5 mRNA and protein expressions in chemosensitive human SCLC cells (H69) and the multidrug-resistant SCLC cells (H69AR) using quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblotting. HOXA5 expression was then enhanced or suppressed by transfection of the cells with HOXA5 expression plasmids or small interference RNA (siRNA), and the chemosensitivity of transfected cells to cisplatin (DDP) and etoposide (VP-16) was evaluated using cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay.

RESULTSH69 cells showed a 8.99-fold higher expression of HOXA5 than H69AR cells. HOXA5 knockdown caused obvious reductions in the chemosensitivity of H69 cells to DDP and VP-16 with increased cells in G0/G1 phase; conversely, HOXA5 enhancement resulted in an increased sensitivity of H69AR cells to DDP and VP-16.

CONCLUSIONHOXA5 may play an important role in multidrug resistance of SCLC and can be a potential therapeutic target in clinical treatment of SCLC.
