Based on the duality of "healthy" and "pathogenic" of the immune system in physiological and pathological states, and combined with the analogy between "immune function" and "healthy qi", the theory of "transformation of healthy qi into pathogenic qi" was proposed to guide the pattern identification and treatment of autoimmune diseases. The theory of "transformation of healthy qi into pathogenic qi" means that "healthy qi", which is originally used by the body's original ability to defend and remove harmful factors or normal functional activities, transformed into "pathogenic qi", which is factors that damage and destroy the human body or abnormal body state. In the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, the pathogenic factors and causes of congenital endowment, tissue damage under the influence of external pathogens, abnormal function of zang-fu (脏腑) organs and meridians, abnormal transmission and transformation of qi, blood, body fluids was proposed. Autoimmune diseases have the dynamic mechanism of latent pathogen at early stage, internal and external contraction at the onset stage, and the expansion of the pathogenic qi at the complete period, and also have the characteristics of the specificity, invisibility and contradiction of healthy qi and pathogenic qi. In terms of treatment, it advocates the ideas of treatment with both attack and supplementation throughout the disease, identifying diseases with special prescriptions and formulas for specific diseases, dynamically adjusting treatment by identifying the remission and onsets of the disease, observing the changes in the dynamics of healthy qi transforming into pathogenic qi, and treating disease before it arises with early intervention.

Objective:
This study’s objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) in improving insomnia disorder.
Methods:
Participants with insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to receive either PMTS or sham treatment for four weeks (n= 153; PMTS: 76, sham: 77). Primary outcomes are the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4 (treatment), and 5 (follow-up). Secondary outcomes are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline and week 4, and weekly sleep diary-derived values for sleep latency, sleep efficiency, real sleep time, waking after sleep onset, and sleep duration.
Results:
The ISI scores of the PMTS group and the sham group were 7.13±0.50, 11.07±0.51 at week 4, respectively. There was a significant group×time interaction for ISI (F3.214, 485.271=24.25, p<0.001, ηp 2=0.138). Only the PMTS group experienced continuous improvement throughout the study; in contrast, the sham group only experienced a modest improvement after the first week of therapy. At the end of the treatment and one week after it, the response of the PMTS group were 69.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.6%–79.0%), 75.0% (95% CI: 64.1%–83.4%), respectively, which were higher than the response of the sham group (p<0.001). For each of the secondary outcomes, similar group×time interactions were discovered. The effects of the treatment persisted for at least a week.
Conclusion
PMTS is safe and effective in improving insomnia disorders.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of functional RNAs that play critical roles in different diseases. NcRNAs include microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs. They are highly expressed in the brain and are involved in the regulation of physiological and pathophysiological processes of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Mounting evidence indicates that ncRNAs play key roles in CNS diseases. Further elucidating the mechanisms of ncRNA underlying the process of regulating glial function that may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for CNS diseases.

Objective To investigate the features and characteristics of GLIS3 gene mutation in patients with congenital hypothyroidism(CH),and to establish the theoretical basis for gene diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis of CH.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes of 50 patients with CH who were collected from February 2007 to November 2016 in Shandong Province.The exon 2 to 11 of GLIS3 were amplified with 11 pairs of sequence specific primers designed by Primer 5.0.Polymerase chain reaction and the first generation of sequencing method(Sanger sequencing) were used to detect the mutation.Comparison of the sequencing results with the GLIS3 reference sequence (National Center for Biotechnology Information Reference Sequence:NC_000009.12) helped to screen gene mutations.Results The 50 CH patients included 22 boys and 28 girls,and the sex ratio was 1.0 ∶ 1.3.The mean age was (2.5 ± 0.5) years.Six cases (12%) had thyroid gland hypoplasia,23 cases (46%) had thyroid gland agenesis and 21 cases(42%) with ectopic thyroid gland.C2507A missense mutation was found in exon 10 of GLIS3 in a thyroid gland agenesis case,which might result in proline to glutamine substitution at codon 836.One mutant (rs780019691,c.C289T) was detected which was nonsense mutation (Arg→Stop) in another thyroid gland agenesis child.Conclusions The mutation rate of GLIS3 gene is very low in CH children of Shandong province.Further studies are needed to investigate the relationship between GLIS3 genotypes and clinical phenotypes.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nasal continuous positive airway pres-sure (NCPAP) in treatment of severe pneumonia in children. Methods A series of 150 children with severe pneumonia were prospectively included from January 2016 to June 2017. The 150 children all still had short-ness of breath after 1 hours of nasal oxygen delivery,and then switched to NCPAP. We collected related clini-cal parameters (the basic vital signs,blood gas analysis index,shortness of breath,wheezing,groaning,nasal incitement,three depressions sign and NCPAP parameters) at three time points,including 0 h,1 h,4 h after using NCPAP. We compared the clinical parameters among the three time points before and after NCPAP with the purpose to assess the efficacy and safety of NCPAP. Results The proportion of shortness of breath (χ2=272. 218,P=0. 01),fast heart rate(χ2=31. 625,P=0. 01),wheezing(χ2=7. 624,P=0. 02),moaning (χ2=7. 203,P=0. 025),nasal flaring(χ2=74. 032,P<0. 01),three depressions sign(χ2=117. 030,P<0. 01) gradually decreased with statistically different among 0 h,1 h and 4 h after using NCPAP. PaO2/FiO2 (F=7. 32,P<0. 01) gradually increased with statistically different among 0 h,1 h and 4 h after using NCPAP. Twenty-seven patients required intubations. PaO2and PaO2/FiO2in patiens received intubations were lower than those in patients only received NCPAP before treatment. Conclusion NCPAP is an effective and safe way for severe pneumonia children who remained abnormal breathing after conventional oxygen inhalation.

Objective To report the treatment of type A3 distal tibiofibular fractures with the fibular posterolateral approach and minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO).Methods We reviewed 61 patients with type A3 distal tibiofibular fracture (observation group) who had been treated with MIPPO and the fibular posterolateral approach from June 2011 to May 2015.Our control group included 78 patients with type A3 distal tibiofibular fracture who had been treated by traditional open reduction and internal fixation from April 2009 to September 2013.Interval between injury and surgery,surgical time,intraoperative bleeding,hospital stay,postoperative complications,X-ray Lane-Sandhu osteotylus score and limb weight-bearing score one year after operation were compared between the 2 groups.Results All the 139 patients were followed up for more than one year.There were significant differences between the 2 groups in terms of interval between injury and surgery (8.0 ± 3.5 h versus 140.7 ± 52.4 h),surgical time (66.2 ± 7.2 min versus 92.1 ±6.6 min),intraoperative bleeding (59.8 ± 12.8 mL versus 209.5 ±50.4 mL),hospital stay (9.4 ± 1.9 d versus 26.1 ± 15.7 d),postoperative complications,X-ray Lane-Sandhu osteotylus score (3.9 ±0.2 points versus 3.0 ±0.6 points) and limb weight-bearing score (3.9 ±0.1 points versus 3.0 ±0.7 points) one year after operation,favoring the observation group(P < 0.001).Conclusions In the treatment of type A3 tibiofibular fractures,MIPPO plus the fibular posterolateral approach is superior to the traditional open reduction and internal fixation because it can benefit fracture healing by shortening the time for preoperative preparation,surgery and hospitalization,and decreasing the amount of intraoperative bleeding and the incidence of postoperative complications.
