Small proteins specifically refer to proteins consisting of less than 100 amino acids translated from small open reading frames (sORFs), which were usually missed in previous genome annotation. The significance of small proteins has been revealed in current years, along with the discovery of their diverse functions. However, systematic annotation of small proteins is still insufficient. SmProt was specially developed to provide valuable information on small proteins for scientific community. Here we present the update of SmProt, which emphasizes reliability of translated sORFs, genetic variants in translated sORFs, disease-specific sORF translation events or sequences, and remarkably increased data volume. More components such as non-ATG translation initiation, function, and new sources are also included. SmProt incorporated 638,958 unique small proteins curated from 3,165,229 primary records, which were computationally predicted from 419 ribosome profiling (Ribo-seq) datasets or collected from literature and other sources from 370 cell lines or tissues in 8 species (Homo sapiens, Mus musculus, Rattus norvegicus, Drosophila melanogaster, Danio rerio, Saccharomyces cere-visiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Escherichia coli). In addition, small protein families identified from human micro-biomes were also collected. All datasets in SmProt are free to access, and available for browse, search, and bulk downloads at http://bigdata.ibp.ac.cn/SmProt/.

Epidemiologic, clinical and imaging data were collected from 14 children with confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted in Beijing Ditan Hospital from January 27, 2020 to February 12, 2020. There were 6 boys and 8 girls with a median age of 3.5 years (6 months-9.4 years). Four patients had a history of travel to Wuhan City or Hubei Province and 2 patients had contacted with people from Wuhan; 13 patients were familial cluster of infection. The incubation period was 4 to 16 days. The clinical manifestations were fever in 8 cases, cough in 5 cases, diarrhea in 1 case; and 2 cases were asymptomatic. Four patients had abnormal peripheral blood routine, including 1 had lymphocytosis, 3 had lymphocytopenia; 3 patients had a slightly elevated CRP, and 3 patients had hepatic dysfunction. Thirteen patients underwent chest CT; and 1 case showed bilateral lung glass exudation, 1 case showed multiple patchy high density shadows of bilateral lung. One patient underwent chest X-ray examination, which was showed no abnormal findings. The pediatric patients with COVID-19 in this series generally have a traceable epidemiological history. The clinical manifestations are fever, cough and diarrhea. Peripheral white blood cell counts were most normal. Chest CT reveals less severe changes than those in adults, most child patients show no manifestation of pneumonia.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of tongue and nape acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group of dysarthria on speech function in post-stroke dysarthria patients, and to explore the treatment of dysarthria. METHODS: Eighty patients with dysarthria were randomly divided into an observation group (40 cases) and a control group (40 cases). The patients in the two groups were treated with conventional treatment. The patients in the control group were treated with the acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training group of dysarthria; the patients in the observation group were treated with the control group treatment and tongue acupuncture, once a day, 6 days per week for 2 weeks. The patients were evaluated with general dysarthria scale and dysarthria checklist of Chinese Rehabilitation Study Center before and after 2-week treatment. RESULTS: After treatment, the total score and each item score of general dysarthria scale were reduced (all <0.05); all the score in the observation group was lower than those in the control group (all <0.05), except the score of jaw which had no significant difference between the two groups. After treatment, the dysarthria checklist of Chinese Rehabilitation Study Center in the observation group was superior to that in the control group (<0.05). The total effective rate was 85.0% (34/40) in the observation group, which was higher than 67.5% (27/40) in the control group (<0.05). CONCLUSION Tongue acupuncture, nape acupuncture and rehabilitation training group of dysarthria could effectively improve the speech function of post-stroke dysarthria patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) on postoperative psychological status and quality of life in patients with bladder cancer undergoing transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). Methods A total of 95 patients with non muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) undergoing TURBT hospitalized in Army General Hospital from November 2013 to November 2015 were selected and randomly divided into the control group (n=47) and the observation group (n=48). Patients in the control group received routine nursing care, while patients in the observation group received additional PDCA. The changes of serum norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and cortisol (Cor) levels were observed before and after the intervention in two groups. The SAS, SDS and the Self-esteem Scale (SES) were used to evaluate the psychological status of patients. The Simple Quality of Life Scale-36 (SF-36) was applied to evaluate the quality of life of patients. Results The postoperative serum NE, E and Cor levels of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P< 0.01). At 1 month after the operation, SAS and SDS scores of patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, while SES score in the observation group was higher than that of the control group; there were statistically significant differences between two groups (P< 0.01). At 18 months after the operation, SF-36 score of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P< 0.01). Conclusions PDCA can effectively reduce the postoperative stress reaction of bladder cancer patients after TURBT and improve their psychological status and quality of life, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective: To explore the epidemiologic characterization of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection and genotype distribution of HR-HPV among women in rural areas of China. Methods: This study used multiple layers of stratified cluster random sampling method. During January to December in 2014, 117 counties of 27 provinces were selected as the HPV test screening pilot project counties. The women aged 35-64 years with rural areas Hukou in these project counties were selected as the study subjects. A total 457 799 women received HPV DNA test. Among them, 118 237 women from 32 counties in 11 provinces received qualified HPV DNA test by fluorescent PCR to detect HPV genotypes. Results: Among 118 237 rural women, the overall HR-HPV positive infection rate was 7.8% (9 249/118 237). The infection rate increased with age and reached an infection peak at the 60-64 age groups (9.9%, 831/8 394). The HR-HPV positive infection rate in western regions (6.9%, 2 144/31 130) was statistical significantly lower than in central regions (8.2%, 1 894/23 023) and eastern regions (8.1%, 5 211/64 084) (χ²=51.46, P<0.001). Among 9 249 women with specific genotypes of HR-HPV, 6 496 (97.6%) cases were infected with single HR-HPV type, and 163 cases (2.4% ) were infected with multiple types. HR-HPV type 52, 16 and 58 were the most common infection types in rural areas of China. The single infection rates were 20.9% (1 355/6 496), 18.7% (1 215/6 496), and 11.2% (725/6 496), respectively. The multiple infection rates were 47.2% (77/163), 17.8% (29/163), and 18.4% (30/163), respectively. Conclusion The HR-HPV positive infection rate in rural areas of Chinese woman was 7.8%, western region has lower infection rate compared with central and eastern regions. HPV 52 was first of the most common genotypes in rural areas of China.

Objective To investigate the CT imaging findings of thymus and thyroid gland involved in Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH) of pediatric patients. Methods CT image findings in pediatric patients with LCH confirmed by pathology and clinical diagnosis from January 2006 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. By radiography, 38 cases' thymus gland were involved and 8 cases' thyroids gland were involved. Results Plain CT scan for thymus gland involved patients revealed 9 cases were shown as hyperplasia, 17 cases were shown as calcification, 9 cases were shown as hyperplasia with calcification, 1 case was shown as cavity, 1 case was shown as hyperplasia with calcification and cavity and 1 case was shown as hyperplasia with calcification and low density. Enhanced CT scan for thyroid gland involved patients showed bilateral or unilateral enlargement of thyroid gland with heterogeneous low density and unobvious enhancement. Conclusions Finely calcifications were the most common CT findings on thymus gland involved in LCH and might without hyperplasia. CT imaging of thyroid LCH exhibited an enlarged or normal size and abnormal density in the thyroid gland with adjacent soft tissues involved.

Objective To analyze the reported data of national rural cervical cancer screening project from 2012 to 2013 and to evaluate the project implementation condition. Methods Data of the national breast carcinoma and cervical cancer (two-cancer) screening project for rural women were collected from the online report system of key women and children's public health service programs.The screening items included: preliminary screening of cervical lesions (cervical cytology, using Traian Bethesda System (TBS) or Pap grading for classification and reporting), acetate/iodide staining (VIA/VILI), colposcopy, histopathological examination, and pathological diagnosis. The study collected the quarterly reported data from 1 183 counties of 30 provinces in 2014 and 1 130 counties of 30 provinces in 2013. Chi-square test was used to test the difference of positive detection rate, as well as precancerous cervical lesions, and cervical cancer detection rates among difference preliminary screening methods in 2012 and 2013. Results In 2012 and 2013, the number of cervical cancer screening was 10 621 482 and 10 321 835. The percentage of using ThinPrep cytological test as the screening method was 77.17%(n=8 196 627) and 77.07%(n=7 954 949) in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Among these ThinPrep cytological tests in these two years, 65.49%(n=5 368 194) and 71.67% (n=5 701 033) used TBS report system. The abnormality rate of colposcopy increased from 27.29% (170 063/623 161) to 31.15% (203 397/652 935) (χ2=2 295.94, P<0.001). The abnormality rate of histopathology test increased from 19.54% (37 992/194 394) to 35.43% (59 004/166 518) (χ2=11 523.58,P<0.001). All together, 27 341 cervical cancer or precancerous lesions have been detected in these two years. The detection rate of invasive cervical cancer increased from 18.02/100 000 in 2012 to 19.71/100 000 (χ2=7.90, P=0.005) in 2013 and that of precancerous lesions rose from 106.85/100 000 to 119.26/100 000 (χ2=70.82, P<0.001). The early detection rate was 89.60% (11 883/13 263), and 89.57%(12 609/14 078), respectively in 2012 and 2013. In these two years, the rank of the detection rate of each cervical lesion were CIN1, CIN2, CIN3, invasive carcinoma, adenocarcinoma in situ, and microinvasive carcinoma, from the highest rate to the lowest rate. Conclusion The program has achieved certain screening effect and the screening method has been improved. However, the quality of colposcope and histopathology should be enhanced.

Objective To investigate the chest HRCT characteristics of pediatric perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA) associated systemic vasculitis. Methods Retrospectively analysis of the clinical and HRCT data of 15 pediatric cases diagnosed as p-ANCA related pneumonia according to the classification and diagnostic criteria of Chapel Hill meeting of 1994 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. They were 13 girls and 2 boys. The age range was 1—17 years and the median was about 10 years old, In the 15 patients, 12 were diagnosed as primary MPA, 2 were secondary MPA, 1 was CSS. Two radiologists with 10 years of radiological experience read the CT imaging together. Results 1 of 12 primary MPA were found large opacities and ground glass shades in both sides of lung,especially the posterior parts on CT images with bilateral pleural effusion; 1 case had focal opacities in left lower lobe, around with thickened interlobular septa and pleural effusion; Another 1 case only had focal thickened interstitial in right middle lobe; The other 9 cases showed scattered or diffused ground glass opacity, with thickened pulmonary interstitial and (or) pleura. 1 of the 2 secondary MPA who had hemoptysis showed ground glass opacity on CT images with no thickened septal nodules or pleural effusion. The other one who had renal anomalies and no respiratory symptoms showed subpleural nodules with halo sign in right low lobe. The CSS showed diffused patchy ground glass opacity, consolidation of both lingular lobes, nodules of centri-and peri-lobular, thickened septa near the pleura, obviously thickened bronchial wall, slightly widened bronchial lumen and thickened pleura. Conclusion The classic imaging features of p-ANCA pneumonia on HRCT is the non-specific small pulmonary vessel hemorrhage.

Objective To develop the avian influenza Knowledge-Attitude-Practice ( KAP ) scale for community residents, and provide an objective evidence tool for community nursing. Methods The scale was based on the frame work of KAP theory and reference to the relevant literature and expert′s advice. A total of 454 community residents in Fuzhou were selected by convenient sampling and we analyzed the scale reliability and validity. Results The scale was composed of 3 domains and 46 items. The text-retest reliability of three domains were 0. 784, 0. 907 and 0. 881. The Cronbach α value for the overall scale was 0. 744 and the each domains was between 0. 678 and 0. 732. The content validity index (CVI) for the overall scale was 0. 78 and the each domain ranged from 0. 75 to 0. 84. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 17 common factors, which account for 59. 839% of the total variance. Conclusions The structure of the scale is in line with theory. The scale has good stability and reliability, therefore it can be used as a KAP scale of the avian influenza in community residents as survey tool.
