RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Two new SNPs have been recently associated to Alzheimer's disease in African American populations: FCGRIIB rs1050501 C/T, and PILRA rs1859788 A/G. The risk of Alzheimer's disease in FCGRIIB C and PILRA A allele carriers is three times higher than in non-carriers. However, the association between these and other single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) has not been assessed. METHODS: Linkage disequilibrium analysis, with r= 0.8 as a threshold value, was used to impute new candidate SNPs, on genomic data from both genes in 26 populations worldwide (n= 2504) from the 1000Genomes database. RESULTS: Four SNPs (rs13376485, rs3767640, rs3767639 and rs3767641) were linked to rs1050501 and one (rs2405442) to rs1859788 in the whole sample. CONCLUSIONS: Five novel SNPs could be associated with Alzheimer's disease susceptibility and play a causal role, even if none of them are exon variants since their potential roles in the regulation of gene expression.
ANTECEDENTES: Recientemente se han asociado dos nuevos polimorfismos de un solo nucleótido (SNP) a la enfermedad de Alzheimer en poblaciones afroamericanas: FCGRIIB rs1050501 C/T, y PILRA rs1859788 A/G. El riesgo de enfermedad de Alzheimer en los portadores de los alelos FCGRIIB C y PILRA A es tres veces mayor que en los no portadores. Sin embargo, no se ha evaluado la asociación entre estos y otros SNP. MÉTODOS: Se utilizó el análisis de desequilibrio de ligamiento, con r2= 0,8 como valor umbral, para imputar nuevos SNPs candidatos, sobre datos genómicos de ambos genes en 26 poblaciones de todo el mundo (n= 2504) de la base de datos 1000Genomes. RESULTADOS: Cuatro SNPs (rs13376485, rs3767640, rs3767639 y rs3767641) se vincularon al rs1050501 y uno (rs2405442) al rs1859788 en toda la muestra. CONCLUSIONES: Cinco nuevos SNP podrían estar asociados con la susceptibilidad a la enfermedad de Alzheimer y desempeñar un papel causal, aunque ninguno de ellos sea una variante de exón, dado su papel potencial en la regulación de la expresión génica.

Objective To investigate the application value of single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)linkage analysis based on next-generation sequencing(NGS)technology in preimplantation genetic testing(PGT)of families with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease(ARPKD).Methods A family with ARPKD was selected,where the female member had a pregnancy ultrasound revealing polycystic kidney in the fetus.Genetic testing showed compound heterozygous mutations of the polycystic kidney/polycystic liver disease 1 gene(PKHD1),c.10444C>T(paternal)and c.4303del(maternal),with the c.4303del mutation being reported for the first time.Targeting the coding region of the PKHD1 gene,335 high-density tightly linked SNP sites were selected in the upstream and downstream 2M regions using multiplex polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and NGS.The couple′s SNP risk haplotypes carrying gene mutations were constructed.After in vitro fertilization,blastocyst culture was performed.Trophoblastic cells obtained from the biopsy were subjected to whole-genome amplification,and NGS was used for linkage analysis and low-depth chromosomal aneuploidy screening of the embryos.Sanger sequencing was used to verify the results of embryo linkage analysis.Results Among the 6 biopsied embryos,4 were mutation-free and euploid,1 exhibited heterozygous for the mutation and mosaic while another unstable sequencing data,making it impossible to judge.One of the mutation-free and developmentally healthy euploid embryos was implanted into the maternal uterus,resulting in the full-term delivery of a healthy baby.Conclusion Application of NGS-based SNP linkage analysis in PGT can effectively blocking the vertical transmission of ARPKD within families,while avoiding abortion issues caused by aneuploid embryos.This study is also the first PGT report target-ing the PKHD1 gene c.4303del mutation.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND:A large number of domestic and international documents have confirmed that elevated interleukin-1β is associated with primary frozen shoulder.Interleukin-1B gene polymorphisms can affect the transcription and protein expression of interleukin 1β-related genes,resulting in altered levels of cytokines in vivo,and thus altering the incidence of primary frozen shoulder.Through the study of interleukin-1B gene polymorphism and susceptibility to primary frozen shoulder,this study aimed to explore new breakthroughs in the pathogenesis of primary frozen shoulder from the perspective of molecular biology,and to search for susceptibility genes of primary frozen shoulder. OBJECTIVE:To explore the association between linkage disequilibrium of three gene loci in interleukin-1B gene and susceptibility to primary frozen shoulder. METHODS:A case-control study was conducted.There were two groups in this study.One group consisted of 184 patients with primary frozen shoulder,while the other group included 260 healthy controls.The genotypes of interleukin-1B gene loci-511C/T(rs16944),+3954C/T(rs1143634),and-31C/T(rs1143627)were detected by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism.The correlation between the probability of linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes and the risk of primary frozen shoulder disease was compared and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Unconditional Logistic regression analysis showed that the proportion of CT genotypes at rs1143634 and rs1143627 sites increased significantly in the primary frozen shoulder.Linkage disequilibrium analysis showed that rs16944,rs1143634 and rs1143627 tended to be balanced in the control group(D'value<0.1),while there was a certain degree of linkage disequilibrium at rs1143627 and rs1143634 sites in the primary frozen shoulder group(D'value=0.595).Haplotype TTT increased the risk of primary frozen shoulder by 6.66 times compared with CCT type(TTT,OR=6.66,95%CI=1.59-27.88,P=0.009 7).To conclude,there is a certain degree of linkage disequilibrium between interleukin-1B gene loci rs1143627and rs1143634 in patients with primary frozen shoulder;haplotype TTT formed by these three gene loci may increase the risk of developing primary frozen shoulder.
RESUMEN
The theory of "linkage between spleen and small intestine" has been put forward by doctors as early as the Ming dynasty. In traditional Chinese medicine， the spleen and small intestine cooperate and work together physiologically， and they are also closely related and interact with each other pathologically. The spleen governs transportation and transformation， which involves the function of the small intestine in transforming water and grain. The small intestine， governing the receiving and transformation of substances， depends on the normal transportation of the spleen. At the same time， it provides guarantee for the spleen to transform Qi and generate blood as well as ascend lucidity and descend turbidity. The dysfunction of spleen in transportation is closely related to the dysfunction of small intestine. The stability of intestinal microecology necessitates the normal functioning of the spleen. When the original balance of intestinal flora is disturbed， the spleen functioning will be affected. This study explored the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes based on the physiological functions of the spleen and small intestine and the Western medicine targets of "nutrients-intestinal flora". According to modern medicine， nutrients are essential to maintain the normal physiological activities of the human body. Proper intake of nutrients can affect the absorption and metabolism of the human body for nutrients by regulating the composition and function of intestinal flora， so as to prevent the occurrence of diabetes. The imbalance of intestinal flora which harbors rich microorganisms may lead to the disturbance of energy metabolism and the dysfunction of the immune system， eventually leading to diabetes. As a metabolic disease， diabetes is closely related to the imbalance of intestinal flora and nutrient intake. Based on the theory of "linkage between spleen and small intestine"， this paper discusses the relationship between spleen and small intestine. Furthermore， this paper discusses the correlation between "spleen-small intestine" and "nutrients-intestinal flora" by reviewing the latest progress in modern medicine and clinical research， aiming to provide a theoretical basis and new ideas for the clinical prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
RESUMEN
The development and application of processing technology is closely related to the quality of Chinese medicine. Currently， Chinese medicine processing is still in the mechanization stage with limited processing equipment， low levels of automation and intelligence. As a result， the imprecise control of parameters during processing leads to unstable quality of Chinese herbal pieces. However， with the arrival of the big data era and the continuous development of "Internet+"， Chinese medicine processing technology and equipment have been continuously improved and updated， and gradually shifted to the development direction of automation and intelligence. The linkage production technology of Chinese herbal pieces optimizes the separate processing equipment coupling into the production line for continuous manufacture of Chinese herbal pieces， intending to improve production efficiency. The large-scale industrialized production of Chinese herbal pieces tends towards digital technology of processing experience and online inspection technology based on machine vision， electronic nose， and electronic tongue. These technologies are crucial prerequisites for standardizing the parameters of Chinese medicine processing. And further by docking the processing process and equipment with the internet， realizing the intelligent control of the production process is an important process for the transformation and upgrading of Chinese herbal piece industry in the future. In this paper， we summarized the development characteristics of different stages of Chinese medicine processing technology， combed application and development of processing theory， the evolution of processing equipment， and problems in the current industrial development stage of Chinese medicine processing， in order to provide ideas and methods for achieving digital and intelligent innovation of processing technology as well as high-efficient and high-quality production of Chinese herbal pieces.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo elucidate the principles and methods of the Bayesian probabilistic linkage model， and to demonstrate the effect of applying the model in linking birth and death data. MethodsThrough the Shanghai birth and death registration system， data of 199 025 infants born in 2017 and 1 512 infants who died in 2017 and 2018 were collected. After cleaning the data， the data were divided into monthly blocks and fully linked. The Jaro-Winkler algorithm and Euclidean distance were employed to measure the similarity of fields for matching. A Bayesian probabilistic linkage model was constructed and the linking effect was evaluated using a confusion matrix. ResultsUsing the Bayesian probabilistic linkage model， the birth and death data of infants were effectively linked， revealing that 36.71% of infants who died in Shanghai were born outside the city， and the probability of infant death was 2.6‰. The confusion matrix of the test set showed a recall rate of 0.86， precision of 0.76， and an F-score of 0.81. ConclusionThe practical application of Bayesian probabilistic linkage demonstrates a good model performance， enabling the establishment of birth-death cohorts that more accurately reflect the true levels of infant mortality. Utilizing this technique to integrate data from different departments can effectively improve research efficiency in the field of public health.

Se ha sugerido que el haplotipo rs3749474T/rs4864548A del gen CLOCK aumentaría el riesgo de obesidad, pero se desconoce el patrón de variabilidad poblacional de estos alelos y del haplotipo. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar el nivel de ligamiento entre los alelos de riesgo rs3749474T y rs4864548A a partir de la base de datos 1000Genomes para confirmar la existencia del haplotipo TA de los polimorfismos rs3749474-rs4864548 del gen CLOCK y su frecuencia cinco macro poblaciones. Se analizó el desequilibrio de ligamiento y las frecuencias haplotípicas para 2504 individuos, de 26 poblaciones, utilizando el estadístico r y la prueba exacta de Fisher. Existe una alta frecuencia del haplotipo TA en Latinoamérica (44,8%), un alto desequilibrio de ligamiento (r= 0,92) a nivel mundial entre esos alelos, una alta diferenciación entre macro poblaciones y una alta homogeneidad al interior de ellas. La evidencia presentada permite sugerir la realización de posteriores estudios de asociación entre este haplotipo y el nivel de riesgo de obesidad y sobrepeso en poblaciones latinoamericanas.
It has been suggested that the rs3749474T/rs4864548A haplotype of the CLOCK gene increases the risk of obesity, but the population variability of these alleles and the haplotype is unknown. This research aims to determine the linkage between the rs3749474T and rs4864548A alleles from the database of 1000Genomes to confirm the existence of the TA haplotype polymorphisms of these alleles and their frequency in five macro populations. Linkage disequilibrium and haplotype frequencies for 2504 individuals from 26 populations were analyzed using the r statistic and Fisher's exact test. There is a high frequency of the TA haplotype in Latin America (44.8%), a high linkage disequilibrium (r2= 0.92) worldwide between these alleles, a high differentiation between macro populations, and a high homogeneity. The evidence warrants further studies on the association between this haplotype and the risk of obesity and overweight in Latin American populations.

Resumo As anomalias congênitas (AC) configuram um relevante problema para a saúde pública global, afetando em média de 3% a 6% dos recém-nascidos em todo o mundo. No Brasil, ocupam a segunda posição entre os principais grupos de causas de óbito infantil. Assim, estudos amplos são necessários para mostrar o impacto das AC na saúde infantil. O presente estudo descreve a tendência temporal da prevalência e da mortalidade infantil por AC entre nascidos vivos (NV) no Brasil e em suas cinco regiões de 2001 a 2018, utilizando dados vinculados entre as bases de dados do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) e do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM). A prevalência e mortalidade infantil por AC mostrou-se crescente no Brasil na maioria das regiões, principalmente no Norte e no Nordeste. Aquelas do aparelho osteomuscular foram as mais prevalentes ao nascimento (29,8/10.000 NV); as do aparelho circulatório passaram para a segunda posição (12,7/10.000 NV) após a vinculação das bases e representam a primeira causa de morte desse grupo. A técnica de vinculação de dados aplicada corrigiu a prevalência nacional das AC em 17,9% no período analisado, após serem recuperadas as AC notificadas no SIM, mostrando ser uma boa ferramenta para melhorar a qualidade das informações das AC.
Abstract Congenital anomalies (CA) are a relevant problem for global public health, affecting about 3% to 6% of newborns worldwide. In Brazil, these are the second main cause of infant mortality. Thus, extensive studies are needed to demonstrate the impact of these anomalies on births and deaths. The present study describes the temporal trends of prevalence and infant mortality due to CA among live births in Brazil and regions, from 2001 to 2018, using the related data between the Live Birth Information System (SINASC, acronym in Portuguese) and the Mortality Information System (SIM, acronym in Portuguese). The prevalence and infant mortality due to CA has increased in Brazil and in most regions, especially in the Northeast and North. CAs in the musculoskeletal system were the most frequent at birth (29.8/10,000 live births), followed by those in the circulatory system (12.7/10,000 live births), which represented the primary cause of death in this group. The applied linkage technique made it possible to correct the national prevalence of CA by 17.9% during the analyzed period, after retrieving the anomalies reported in SIM, thereby proving to be a good tool to improve the quality of information on anomalies in Brazil.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for further improvement of the essential medicine system. METHODS Statistical analysis method and comparative analysis method were used to explain the necessity of coordination between the two systems from the direct correlation and indirect impact of centralized volume-based procurement on the essential medicine system at the present stage. The relevant suggestions were put forward for the development of the essential medicine system in the new era from the perspective of improving institutional synergy. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS There was a direct correlation between the policy of centralized procurement and the essential medicine system in terms of policy objectives and medicines selection. However， it also indirectly affects the use of essential medicines in medical institutions through production and supply， coincidence degree between the essential medicine list and the selected variety， and the consistency evaluation of generic drugs. It is suggested that in the selection of essential medicine list in the future， priority should be given to the selection of varieties through centralized procurement， and improve the drug supply guarantee capacity under the dual policy linkage； at the same time， incentive assessments for the allocation and use of essential medicines by various entities should be further strengthened to promote the further improvement and development of the essential medicine system.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the application effect of Internet-based hospital-institution linkage care management model in elderly care for the elderly of dementia.Methods:The research was a quasi-experiment study. A total of 80 elderly people of dementia from three combined medical and nursing institutions, Beijing Fangshan District Mental Health Care Hospital, Beijing Jinhai Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Beijing Yiciyuan Nursing Care Center, were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling. The elderly people of dementia enrolled from May to August 2021 served as the control group, and elderly people of dementia enrolled from September to December 2021 served as the experimental group, with 40 cases in each group. Conventional management methods were taken in the control group, while Internet-based hospital-institution linkage care management model was taken in the experimental group. Before the intervention, at 3 months of intervention, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Barthel index (BI) and Cohen Mansfield agitation behavior inventory (CMAI) were used to evaluate the cognitive function, activities of daily living and agitation behavior of two groups.Results:A total of 78 cases were included, including 39 cases in the experimental group and 39 cases in the control group, respectively. Before intervention, there was no significant difference in scores of MMSE, BI, and CMAI in the two groups of elderly people with dementia ( P>0.05). After 3 months of intervention, the score of MMSE in the experimental group was (17.36±5.67) points, which was higher than (15.05 ± 2.70) points of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.13, P<0.05). The score of CMAI in the experimental group was (34.18 ± 4.37) points, which was lower than (37.13 ± 5.06) points of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.76, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in BI scores ( t=0.13, P>0.05). Conclusions:The Internet-based hospital-institution linkage care management model improves the cognitive function and agitated behavior of the elderly with dementia in medical-nursing institutions.
RESUMEN
Sialylated N-glycan isomers with α2-3 or 42-6 linkage(s)have distinctive roles in glycoproteins,but are difficult to distinguish.Wild-type(WT)and glycoengineered(mutant)therapeutic glycoproteins,cyto-toxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen-4-immunoglobulin(CTLA4-Ig),were produced in Chinese ham-ster ovary cell lines:however,their linkage isomers have not been reported.In this study,N-glycans of CTLA4-Igs were released,labeled with procainamide,and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(MS/MS)to identify and quantify sialylated N-glycan linkage isomers.The linkage isomers were distinguished by comparison of 1)intensity of the N-acetylglucosamine ion to the sialic acid ion(Ln/Nn)using different fragmentation stability in MS/MS spectra and 2)retention time-shift for a selective m/z value in the extracted ion chromatogram.Each isomer was distinctively identified,and each quantity(＞0.1％)was obtained relative to the total N-glycans(100％)for all observed ionization states.Twenty sialylated N-glycan isomers with only α2-3 linkage(s)in WT were identified,and each isomer's sum of quantities was 50.4％.Furthermore,39 sialylated N-glycan isomers(58.8％)in mono-(3 N-glycans;0.9％),bi-(18;48.3％),tri-(14;8.9％),and tetra-(4;0.7％)antennary structures of mutant were obtained,which comprised mono-(15 N-glycans;25.4％),di-(15;28.4％),tri-(8;4.8％),and tetra-(1;0.2％)sialy-lation,respectively,with only α2-3(10 N-glycans;4.8％),both α2-3 and α2-6(14;18.4％),and only α2-6(15;35.6％)linkage(s).These results are consistent with those for α2-3 neuraminidase-treated N-glycans.This study generated a novel plot of Ln/Nn versus retention time to distinguish sialylated N-glycan linkage isomers in glycoprotein.

RESUMEN
Objective:To identify the causative gene in patients with familial progressive hyperpigmentation (FPH) .Methods:Two families with FPH were collected in March 2005 and March 2015 respectively, and their phenotypes were observed and recorded. The causative gene was investigated by single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -based genome-wide linkage analysis and exome sequencing, and verified by Sanger sequencing. The candidate gene expression was determined in FPH lesions and normal skin tissues by using immunohistochemical techniques.Results:The genome-wide linkage analysis showed that the causative gene in FPH family 1 was mapped to the loci of rs1026369-rs11857925 on chromosome 15q21.1 - q22.2; a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) gene was identified as the possible causative gene by exome sequencing; Sanger sequencing showed that a splice-site mutation c.1511+1G>A in the ADAM10 gene was co-segregated with the disease phenotype in the FPH family 1. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that ADAM10 was expressed in both the FPH lesions and normal skin tissues of the proband in the FPH family 1. A missense mutation c.1172C>T (p.Ser319Phe) was identified by further ADAM10 mutation analysis in another 3-generation family with FPH (family 2). Both the above mutations were not detected in 300 local healthy controls.Conclusion:ADAM10 was identified as a novel causative gene responsible for FPH.
RESUMEN
In order to achieve the goal of integration, homogeneity, a net and a center of medical groups in Hainan province, Hainan province built an integrated management information platform of urban medical alliances and county medical communities based on projects such as the provincial three medical linkage information platform in February 2022. The overall architecture of the medical alliance and medical community platform was divided into system integration layer, data center layer, service layer and application layer. The service layer included four major systems: unified operation management platform, business center, performance evaluation management platform and comprehensive supervision subsystem, which was the core hub connecting the data center layer and application layer, and also was the unified operation and closed-loop management platform of the medical alliance and medical community. As of November 2022, the platform had covered 31 medical alliances or medical communities in 19 cities and counties of Hainan province, achieving information exchange, personnel interaction, resource sharing, business collaboration, and data integration among member units, narrowing the gap between urban and rural medical and health services, which had preliminarily achieved homogeneous management of the medical alliances and medical communities throughout the province, for a reference for the integrated management of medical alliances and medical communities within the regional scope of China.
RESUMEN
Linear ubiquitination is an important post-translational modification that has been discovered in recent years. The linear ubiquitin chain is formed by the linkage of glycine residue of one ubiquitin protein to the methionine residue of another ubiquitin. This process is regulated by the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and the OTU deubiquitinase with linear linkage specificity (OTULIN). Linear ubiquitination is involved in various biological processes, including immune response, inflammation, and cell apoptosis. Recent studies have shown that linear ubiquitination is closely related to the occurrence, development, and drug resistance of tumors by affecting signaling pathways such as NF-κB and Wnt/β-catenin. The research progress on the function of LUBAC and OTULIN in tumors was reviewed in this paper.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the results of ATP7B gene screening in neonates and explore the linkage disequilibrium between different mutation loci, providing a basis for the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of Wilson′s disease.Methods:A total of 12 619 newborns who were born in Women′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University during March 18 and December 30, 2022, including 6 605 male neonates and 6 014 female neonates, with birth weight of (3.44±0.56) kg, were retrospectively collected. The results of ATP7B gene screening in all newborns were analyzed.Next-generation sequencing technology was employed to detect the pathogenic loci of ATP7B gene, and the identified loci were verified using Sanger sequencing. PLINK 1.9 software was used to analyze the linkage disequilibrium of different mutation loci.Results:Among 12 619 neonates, 22 cases were diagnosed with 2-3 pathogenic mutations in the ATP7B gene (suspected positive). Among them, 20 cases were recalled for family verification, and 2 cases refused to recall. The verification results showed that 3 newborns had mutations of two loci respectively from their parents and were preliminarily diagnosed with Wilson′s disease, the other 17 neonates were carriers of the c.3316G>A/c.588C>A or c.1708-1G>C/c.1168A>G mutation loci arranged in a cis-acting manner from the father source or maternal source. A total of 249 pathogenic mutation carriers were detected (232 cases carrying 1 pathogenic mutation, and 17 cases carrying 2 pathogenic mutations), with a carrier rate of 1/51. Among them, the mutation c.2333G>T was most frequently detected (1/207), followed by c.2975C>T (1/421), c.2621C>T (1/742), c.2755C>G (1/971) and c.2605G>A (1/971). The results of linkage disequilibrium analysis in both c.3316G>A/c.588C>A and c.1708-1G>C/c.1168A>G showed that D ′=1, which showed complete linkage disequilibrium. Conclusion:The carrier rate of pathogenic mutations in the ATP7B gene is relatively high.Moreover, the c.3316G>A/c.588C>A and c.1708-1G>C/c.1168A>G pathogenic mutation loci are likely to be arranged in a cis-acting manner, highlighting the existence of linkage disequilibrium between the two groups of mutations. This finding provides important reference value for the clinical diagnosis and genetic counseling of Wilson disease.
RESUMEN
Taking the current situation and problems of medical humanities education as the background, the concept of narrative medicine was used to sort out and integrate various course materials of medical humanities, explore the multi-link linkage mode of medical humanities education, and organically integrate medical humanities courses scattered in medical education activities such as medical ethics, health law, doctor-patient communication, and health policy science with teaching stages, teaching resources, and teaching methods, forming vivid narrative medical materials throughout the entire process of medical humanities education, and improving teaching efficiency by sharing and optimizing resources. Through questionnaire analysis, it was found that there are many unsatisfactory aspects of medical humanities education. Further analysis of the issues focuses on the contradiction between learning willingness and time allocation, the lack of synchronization between teaching and social development, the lack of integration between courses, and insufficient innovation in teaching methods. Based on these, countermeasures were put forward to integrate narrative medical materials of medical humanities courses and build a platform for the application and communication of narrative medical materials.
