Abstract
BACKGROUND For the prognosis of patients with early gastric cancer (EGC), lymph node metastasis (LNM) plays a crucial role. A thorough and precise evaluation of the patient for LNM is now required.
AIM To determine the factors influencing LNM and to construct a prediction model of LNM for EGC patients.
METHODS Clinical information and pathology data of 2217 EGC patients downloaded from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database were collected and analyzed. Based on a 7:3 ratio, 1550 people were categorized into training sets and 667 people were assigned to testing sets, randomly. Based on the factors influencing LNM determined by the training sets, the nomogram was drawn and verified.
RESULTS Based on multivariate analysis, age at diagnosis, histology type, grade, T-stage, and size were risk factors of LNM for EGC. Besides, nomogram was drawn to predict the risk of LNM for EGC patients. Among the categorical variables, the effect of grade (well, moderate, and poor) was the most significant prognosis factor. For training sets and testing sets, respectively, area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of nomograms were 0.751 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.721-0.782] and 0.786 (95%CI: 0.742-0.830). In addition, the calibration curves showed that the prediction model of LNM had good consistency.
CONCLUSION Age at diagnosis, histology type, grade, T-stage, and tumor size were independent variables for LNM in EGC. Based on the above risk factors, prediction model may offer some guiding implications for the choice of subsequent therapeutic approaches for EGC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the family gene features in Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) type II. Methods: The UGT1A1 gene and related bilirubin metabolism genes were comprehensively analysed in a CNS-II family (3 CNS-II, 1 Gilbert syndrome, and 8 normal subjects). The genetics basis of CNS-II were investigated from the perspective of family analysis. Results: In three cases, compound heterozygous mutations at three sites of the UGT1A1 gene (c.-3279T > G, c.211G > A and c.1456T > G) caused CNS-II. Gilbert syndrome and CNS-II were not significantly associated with distribution or diversity loci. Conclusion: The compound heterozygous pathogenic mutations (c.-3279T > G, c.211G > A, and c.1456T > G) at three loci of the UGT1A1 gene may be the feature of the newly discovered CNS-II family genes based on the CNS-II family study.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common form of kidney cancer, with a high recurrence rate and metastasis capacity. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been suggested to act as the critical regulator in several diseases. This study is designed to investigate the role of circCSNK1G3 on RCC progression. We observed a highly expression of circCSNK1G3 in RCC tissues compared with normal tissues. The aberrantly circCSNK1G3 promoted the tumour growth and metastasis in RCC. In the subsequent mechanism investigation, we discovered that the tumour‐promoting effects of circCSNK1G3 were, at least partly, achieved by up‐regulating miR‐181b. Increased miR‐181b inhibits several tumour suppressor gene, including CYLD, LATS2, NDRG2 and TIMP3. Furthermore, the decreased TIMP3 leads to the enhanced epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, thus promoting the cancer metastasis. In conclusion, we identified the oncogenic role of circCSNK1G3 in RCC progression and demonstrated the regulatory role of circCSNK1G3 induced miR‐181b expression, which leads to TIMP3‐mediated EMT process, thus resulting in tumour growth and metastasis in RCC. This study reveals the promise of circCSNK1G3 to be developed as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in the clinic. And the roles of circCSNK1G3 in cancer research deserve further investigation.

Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the cognitive impairment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and it's relationship with sleep-related respiratory indexes. Methods: A total of 126 patients who were diagnosed with OSA and received treatment in the Sichuan Mental Health Center from March 2018 to September 2018 were selected as the OSA group, and 92 healthy volunteers with matched age, gender and education level were also recruited as the control group. All participants were assessed by polysomnography and the montreal cognitive assessment scale (MOCA). Results: (1) The total score of MOCA, visual space/executive function score, attention score, language function score and memory score in OSA group were significantly lower than those in the control group (23±4 vs 25±4, 2.0±1.7 vs 2.9±1.5, 5.4±1.0 vs 5.7±0.7, 2.7±0.6 vs 2.9±0.3, 2.6±1.4 vs 3.0±1.4, all P<0.05). The correlation analysis showed that MOCA score was in positive correlation with education level (r=0.585, P<0.001) and mean oxygen saturation (r=0.207, P=0.020). However, the MOCA score was in negative correlation with age (r=-0.564, P<0.001) and time in bed (TIB) (r=-0.205, P=0.021). There was no correlation between MOCA score and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) (r=-0.006, P=0.949). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age (t=-4.133, P<0.001), education level (t=4.001, P<0.001) and mean oxygen saturation (t=2.036, P=0.044) were the major factors that contributed to the cognitive impairment of OSA patients. Conclusions: Patients with OSA have cognitive impairment. The impairment gets more obvious when more severe hypoxia occurs at night, but it's not related to AHI.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the postoperatively hidden blood loss of elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients fixed with combined external fixator, and to explore the correlation between hidden blood loss and age. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 60 elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients who were admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of Hebei Provincial Hospital from January 2016 to May 2019. All the fractures were fixed with combined external fixators. The patients were divided into two groups according to the age: there were 31 cases in group A (60-80 years old) and 29 cases in group B (≥80 years old). The Gross equation and the Nandler formula were used to evaluate the amount of hidden blood loss based on changes in hematocrit (Hct) at the day preoperatively, 3 days postoperatively and the weight. The data were compared between the two groups by independent-sample t test. Results: The decreased Hct, hemoglobin(Hb) and the dominant blood loss and hidden blood loss in group A and B was 3.4%±1.7%, (13±7) g/L, (25±6) ml, (186±7) ml and 3.8%±1.2%, (13±3) g/L, (24±8) ml, (194±7) ml, respectively. There was no significant differences in the dominant and hidden blood loss between the groups (t=0.309, 0.883, both P>0.05). Conclusion: The age doesn't affect the hidden blood loss in elderly intertrochanteric fracture patients fixed with combined external fixator, which indicated that the operation is safe and reliable for such patients.
