Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors, with rapid progression and a poor prognosis. More and more studies have shown that there are small open reading frames (sORFs) on the molecular sequences of a large number of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which can encode conserved peptides that play an important role in controlling the occurrence and development of HCC. This article introduces the discovery, prediction, and validation methods of ncRNA-encoding polypeptides and reviews its research progress, with the aim of providing new targets and ideas for early-stage diagnosis, targeted therapy, and prognosis assessment of HCC.

Objective:To understand the status quo of nutrition knowledge, attitude and behavior of nurses in class A tertiary hospital and its influencing factors, and to provide reference for the development of reasonable and standard nutrition training courses.Methods:The knowledge, attitude and behavior of nutrition of 207 nurses in 28 class A tertiary hospitals from 17 provinces cities on October 25-26, 2019 were investigated Questionnaire on Nutritional Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior Cognition of Nurses.Results:The scores of nurses′ nutritional knowledge, attitude and behavior were (69.70 ± 2.92), (82.76 ± 4.97) and (64.90 ± 4.77) respectively. There were significant differences in nurses′ nutritional knowledge, attitude and behavior at different ages, nursing ages, whether they had children, the highest educational background, department rotation, technical titles, administrative positions, employment methods, article publication, whether they had participated in nutrition training courses and in different regions ( F values were 6.80-60.95, t values were 2.94-7.08, all P<0.05). The main factors affecting nutrition knowledge were region, nursing age, the highest educational background, department rotation and whether they had participated in nutrition training courses ( t values were -6.88-6.73, all P<0.05). The main factors affecting nutritional attitude were region, nursing age and the highest educational background ( t=-2.22, 6.84, 3.21, all P<0.05). The main factor affecting nutritional behavior was nursing age ( t=5.45, P<0.05). Conclusions:Nurses′ nutritional attitude level is excellent, but their mastery of nutritional knowledge and nutritional nursing behavior level need to be improved. Reasonable, scientific and feasible nutritional training courses should be formulated according to the influencing factors of their nutritional knowledge, attitude and behavior, so as to improve nurses′ nutritional knowledge, belief and behavior level and improve the nutritional status and prognosis of hospitalized patients.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological distributions of fracture hospitalization.Methods:The present study included participants who participated in the baseline survey of China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) and excluded participants who were lost to follow up or died before 2009, leaving a total of 506 004 participants. Negative binomial regression models were used to analyze the epidemiological distribution of any fracture and fracture at five specific body sites (upperlimb, lowerlimb, spine, pelvis and hip) from 2009 to 2016 in 10 regions.Results:During a median follow-up of (7.7±1.2) years (total person-years 3 899 814), we documented 17 118 cases of fracture hospitalizations. The crude fracture hospitalization rate was 4.39/1 000 person-years. After controlling for the increasing age of the fixed cohort, the hospitalization rates of fractures at various body sites increased from 2009 to 2016, with an annual growth rate (95% CI) of 9.1% (8.3%-9.9%) for any fracture. The fracture hospitalization rate was higher in rural than in urban areas except for hip fractures ( P<0.05) and the hospitalization rate of any fracture were 5.42/1 000 and 3.24/1 000 person-years in rural and urban areas, respectively. Fracture hospitalization rate increased by age. In participants aged <50 years, men had higher fracture hospitalization rates than women except for pelvis fracture, while in those aged ≥50 years, women had higher fracture hospitalization rates than men. Conclusions:Fracture hospitalization rates increased by age and also showed upward selular trends. As China has begun the aging process, fractures impose a heavier burden on society. It is of great significance to prevent osteoporosis-related and injury-related fractures in order to reduce fractures incidence.

Objective:To examine the association between height loss and calcaneus bone mineral density (BMD) through data gathered from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB).Methods:The present study included 24 231 participants who attended the CKB resurvey during 2013-2014, in which calcaneus BMD was measured by quantitative ultrasound method for the first time. Height loss was calculated according to the differences appeared in height measurement between baseline and resurvey. We used linear regression models to estimate the association between height loss and BMD measures.Results:The mean interval between baseline and resurvey was (8.0±0.8 ) years. 33.0 % of the participants showed a height loss of ≥1.0 cm, and another 3.7 % were with height loss of ≥3.0 cm. After adjustment for potential confounders, there was a linear correlation seen between height loss and BMD ( P for all linear trend were <0.001). The βs (95 %CIs) for each 1.0 cm of height loss were -0.79 (-0.95--0.63) for broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA), -2.74 (-3.35--2.13) for speed of sound (SOS), and -1.29 (-1.54--1.04) for stiffness index (SI). Compared with participants with stable height, the multivariate-adjusted βs (95 %CIs) for those with height loss of ≥3.0 cm were -3.29 (-4.08--2.50) for BUA, -10.70 (-13.66--7.73) for SOS, and -5.16 (-6.36--3.96) for SI, respectively. According to the subgroup analyses, the association of height loss with BMD measures seemed to be more apparent among females, in those aged ≥55 years, and those being less physically active. Conclusions:BMD became lower with the increase of height loss. Regular height measurement may contribute to the early diagnosis and prevention of osteoporosis.

Objective:
To describe the characteristics of habitual snoring among adults from 10 regions engaged in the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study.
Methods:
The baseline survey of CKB was conducted from 2004 to 2008. Data was collected regarding the information on socio- demographic characteristics, lifestyle, sleeping habits, and results from the physical examination of the participants. Logistic regression models were used to compare the regional differences and to estimate the associations of other baseline characteristics on snoring habit.
Results:
A total of 512 713 participants were included in this study. The overall prevalence of habitual snoring was 21.2%, higher among men, in south regions and urban areas, but no difference observed among people with different socioeconomic status after adjusting for age, regions, BMI, waist circumference or lifestyle factors. Results showed that the prevalence of habitual snoring under the multivariable adjusted model increased among current and ever smokers, also among current and ever alcohol consumers. The risk of habitual snoring was increased by 19% per 1 kg/m2 and 6% per 1 cm increment in BMI or waist circumference, respectively. Among participants with similar BMI, central obese individuals were more likely to be habitual snorers. For individuals with similar waist circumference, the prevalence of habitual snoring was higher among those with higher BMI.
Conclusion
The prevalence of habitual snoring varied across regions. Substantial differences in habitual snoring were also seen among people with different lifestyles and body sizes.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy of percutaneous atrial septal defect (ASD) closure guided by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or guided by fluoroscopy in pediatric patients.
METHODSMedical records of patients who underwent percutaneous ASD closure in the Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2017 to March 2018 were reviewed. There were 120 patients whose procedures were guided by TEE (TEE group), and 125 patients who had their procedures guided by fluoroscopy (fluoroscopy group). The performance of surgery, efficacy and postoperative complications were compared between two groups.
RESULTSPercutaneous ASD closure was successful in all patients. The operation time was shorter in the TEE group than that in fluoroscopy group[(20±14) min vs. (29±11) min, =-7.939, <0.05]. The size of the defect was larger in the TEE group than that of fluoroscopy group[(11±4) mm vs. (9±4) mm, =2.512, <0.05], but there was no significant difference in the sizes of occluder and occluder sheath between two groups (all >0.05). No residual shunt, occluder shedding or displacement, severe arrhythmia or pericardial effusion were observed in either group. The incidence rates of fever, cough and diarrhea were not statistically different between two groups (all >0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThere was no significant difference in the outcome of percutaneous ASD closure guided by TEE or by fluoroscopy, but the procedure guided by TEE may reduce the operation time and can evaluate the size of ASD more accurately without involving radiation exposure, contrast agents use and large digital subtraction equipment.
