Pediatric malocclusion is common in dentistry.Some children with malocclusion combined with obstruc-tive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)often fail to receive appropriate treatment due to a lack of multidisci-plinary diagnosis and treatment.It can cause abnormal ventilation during sleep,affecting the central nervous system and cardiovascular development and even causing neurological and behavioral problems.Pediatric OSAHS is caused by the narrowing of the upper respiratory tract,characterized by specific facial bone characteristics and neuromuscular factors and correlated with malocclusion.Due to its diverse clinical manifestations and etiology,the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric OSAHS require an interdisciplinary,personalized,and specialized approach.Questionnaires and physical ex-aminations can be used for preliminary screening.Moreover,children's stomatology and otorhinolaryngology examina-tions are the basis for disease diagnosis.Polysomnography(PSG)is currently the direct diagnostic method.There are var-ious treatment methods for OSAHS in children,and for OSAHS caused by adenoid tonsil hypertrophy,adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy are the main treatments.Othodontic treatment including mandibular advancement and rapid maxillary expansion et al is also effective for OSAHS in children with malocclusion.Currently,there is limited research on the cor-relation between childhood malocclusion and OSAHS,and multidisciplinary combination therapy may improve the cure rate,but there is a lack of sufficient evidence.In the future,the pathogenesis of OSAHS should be further elucidated,and research on multidisciplinary combination therapy should be promoted to achieve early intervention and treatment for potential and existing patients.

Objective To explore the effect of the intervention of clinical pharmacists on the rational use of piperacillin-tazobactam by using PDCA cycle, in order to provide reference for rational drug use. Methods The problems of piperacillin-tazobactam in our hospital was analyzed. PDCA cycle was used to manage the problems. Then, the data before and after PDCA cycle was compared and analyzed. Results After using PDCA cycle, the irrational use rate of piperacillin-tazobactam gradually decreased, from 9% in February 2018 to 2% in February 2019; the doses decreased from 4380 in February 2018 to 3346 in February 2019; and the frequency of usage decreased from 391 DDDs in February 2018 to 298 DDDs in February 2019. The effectiveness and continuous improvement of PDCA cycle in managing piperacillin-tazobactam were significant. Conclusion PDCA cycle can effectively improve the management effectiveness of piperacillin-tazobactam administration.

Purpose:
This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the distribution pattern and prognostic value of 21-gene recurrence score (RS) in Chinese patients with mucinous breast cancer (MC) and compared with infiltrating ductal carcinoma (IDC).
Materials and Methods:
Patients diagnosed with MC or IDC from January 2010 to January 2017 were retrospectively recruited. Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction assay of 21 genes was conducted to calculate the RS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the association between RS and clinicopathological factors. Survival outcomes including disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test.
Results:
The MC cohort included 128 patients and the IDC cohort included 707 patients. The proportions of patients with a low (RS < 18), intermediate (18-30), or high risk (RS > 30) were 32.0%, 48.4%, and 19.5% in MC cohort, and 26.9%, 46.8% and 26.3% in IDC cohort. The distribution of RS varied significantly according to different Ki-67 index and molecular subtype in both cohorts. Moreover, the receipt of chemotherapy was associated with RS in both cohorts. Among patients with MC, tumor stage was related to the DFS (p=0.040). No significant differences in DFS and OS were found among MC patients in different RS risk groups (OS, p=0.695; DFS, p=0.926).
Conclusion
RS was significantly related to Ki-67 index and molecular subtypes in MC patients, which is similar in IDC patients. However, RS was not able to predict DFS and OS in patients with MC.

Objective:To understand the status quo of autonomous learning ability of nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A psychiatric hospitals and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for further improvement of nurse specialist education.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 910 nurses in 5 ClassⅢ Grade A psychiatric hospitals in Zhejiang province from July to October 2019. The survey methods included General Information Questionnaire and Self-Learning Ability of Nursing Staff Evaluation Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was carried out on the influencing factors of autonomous learning ability of nurses. A total of 910 questionnaires were issued and 904 valid questionnaires were recovered.Results:The total score of Self-Learning Ability of Nursing Staff Evaluation Scale of 904 nurses was (118.43±19.14) , the score of self-motivation belief dimension was (49.49±8.32) and score of the self-evaluation dimension was (14.05±2.39) . There were statistically significant differences in scores of autonomous learning ability of nurses among different genders, working departments, initial and final education background, employment method and current post ( P<0.05) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, initial education, current post and work department were the main factors affecting the autonomous learning ability of nurses, which jointly explained 40.1% of the total variation of the autonomous learning ability of nurses in psychiatric hospitals ( R2=0.401, F=15.685, P<0.001) . Conclusions:The self-learning ability of nurses in psychiatric hospitals is at a general level. Nursing managers should pay attention to the group of nurses with low self-learning ability, and carry out multi-level, multi-form and multi-channel on-the-job training methods for nurses with different educational backgrounds and posts to promote the improvement of self-learning ability and overall quality of nurses.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) between core needle biopsy (CNB) and surgery removed sample (SRS) in early stage breast cancer patients and to identify the correlating factors and prognostic significance of TILs changes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out on 255 patients who received CNB and underwent surgical resection for invasive breast cancer. Stromal TILs levels of CNB and SRS were evaluated respectively. Tumors with ≥50% stromal TILs were defined as lymphocyte-predominant breast cancer (LPBC). Clinicopathological variables were analyzed to determine whether there were factors associated with TILs changes. Log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards models were used to analyze the influences of TILs and TILs changes on survival. RESULTS: SRS-TILs (median, 10.0%) were significant higher than CNB-TILs (median, 5.0%; p<0.001). Younger age (<60 years, p=0.016) and long surgery time interval (STI, ≥4 days; p=0.003) were independent factors correlating with higher TILs changes. CNB-LPBC patients showed better breast cancer-free interval (BCFI, p=0.021) than CNB-non-LPBC (CNB-nLPBC) patients. Patients were categorized into four groups according to the LPBC change pattern from CNB to SRS: LPBC→LPBC, LPBC→nLPBC, nLPBC→LPBC, and nLPBC→nLPBC, with estimated 5-year BCFI 100%, 100%, 69.7%, and 86.0% (p=0.016). nLPBC→LPBC pattern was an independent prognostic factor of worse BCFI (hazard ratio, 2.19; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 4.53; p=0.035) compared with other patterns. CONCLUSION: TILs were significantly higher in SRS than in CNB. Higher TILs changes were associated with younger age and long STI. Changing from nLPBC to LPBC after CNB indicated a worse BCFI, which needs further validation.
