The analyzed by logistic regression. In prospective 86 same age Positive interventions used shortening fasting time increasing perioperative rehydration. differences incidence between group...

Abstract Potassium testing is an essential test in emergency medicine. Turnaround time (TAT) the between specimen receipt by laboratory and release of report. A brief in-laboratory TAT increases department effectiveness. Optimizing processes to shorten using other tools requires extensive time, resources, training, support. Therefore, we aimed find a convenient way TAT, identify risk factors affecting timeliness potassium reporting, verify intervention’s effects. The dependent variable was...

Mutations in the surfactant protein C gene (SFTPC) result interstitial lung disease (ILD). Our objective was to characterize clinical and genetic spectrum of ILD Chinese children associated with SFTPC mutations. Six heterozygous for mutations were included. Candidate genes responsible dysfunction sequenced by next-generation sequencing. Subclones novel generated transiently transfected into A549 cells. The functional characterization mutant (SP-C) evaluated Western blotting...

Abstract Objective Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) was used to identify factors that contribute quality management deficiencies in laboratory testing of emergency complete blood count (CBC). Methods Improvements included instrument updates, personnel training, information system optimization. We operational data from January 2021 (control group) 2022 (FMEA compare the risk priority number (RPN) FMEA, CBC turnaround time (TAT), error report rate, specimen failure rate. Results After...

The paper explored some key points on decoupling of service systems in achieving mass customization by conducting a case analysis Chinese restaurant. It justified the effectiveness system purpose and reveals how to make decisions balancing multiple operational objectives. Technologies especially IT, as it further indicates, play vital role for delivering customized services however should be carefully adopted.

Considering the problem of class imbalance, method feature identification for disease diagnosis based on equalization methods and elastic net is proposed. First, cardiac arrhythmia dataset from UCI machine learning repository dealt with by random under-sampling synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE). Then, sequence identified net. Finally, "one-against-one" classification strategy multi-classes SVM classifier employed to test accuracies different rules. Experiments show that...

Abstract Objective Tongue defect reconstruction is one of the key components tongue cancer surgery. In this study, we used an L-shaped flap design adopted as a simple and efficient method to repair defects after hemiglossectomy. Furthermore, evaluated contrasted clinical effects two methods, traditional methods. Study Fifteen patients in group 20 were compared terms postoperative complications, dysphagia, language function appearance satisfaction. Results The results (Table 1) showed that...

The reactivation of fetal γ-globin expression is an effective strategy for ameliorating the clinical symptoms β-hemoglobinopathies. However, mechanism globin switching, especially roles long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in this process, remains elusive.We compared vivo transcriptome profiles nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) isolated from umbilical cord preterm and full-term newborns. We collected 75 samples performed qPCR candidate genes.In study, we identified 7,166 differentially expressed...

Erythropoiesis is a complex and sophisticated multi-stage process regulated by variety of factors, including the transcription factor GATA1 non-coding RNA. regarded as an essential transcriptional regulator promoting erythroid-specific genes-such long RNAs (lncRNA). Here, we comprehensively screened lncRNAs that were potentially in erythroid cells. We identified novel lncRNA-PCED1B-AS1-and verified its role differentiation K562 also predicted model which PCED1B-AS1 participates via dynamic...

3-M syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by primordial growth retardation, large head circumference, characteristic facial features, and mild skeletal changes, which associated with the exclusive variants in three genes, namely CUL7, OBSL1, CCDC8. Only few patients have been reported Chinese population.Children unexplained severe short stature, dysmorphism, normal intelligence two families their relatives were enrolled. Trio-whole-exome sequencing (trio-WES)...

Increased levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) can improve the clinical course patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) or β-thalassemia. The HBG1-HBD intergenic region plays an important role in this process. However, very few studies investigated whether variations have effect on HbF expression.

Erythropoiesis is a highly complex and sophisticated multistage process regulated by many transcription factors, as well noncoding RNAs. Anthrax toxin receptor 1 (ANTXR1) type I transmembrane protein that binds the anthrax ligands mediates entry of its toxic part into cells. It also functions for Protective antigen (PA) toxin, Edema factor (EF) Lethal (LF) cytoplasm target cells exerts their toxicity. Previous research has shown ANTXR1 inhibits expression γ-globin during differentiation...
