Context: Nutritional screening tools (NSTs) are used to identify patients who are at risk of nutritional status (NS) deterioration and associated clinical outcomes. Several NSTs have been developed for hospitalized children; however, none of these were specifically developed for Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients.
Objective: A systematic review of studies describing the development, application, and validation of NSTs in hospitalized children was conducted to critically appraise their role in PICU patients.
Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to December 11, 2020.
Data Extraction: The review included 103 studies that applied NSTs at hospital admission. The NST characteristics collected included the aims, clinical setting, variables, and outcomes. The suitability of the NSTs in PICU patients was assessed based on a list of variables deemed relevant for this population.
Data Analysis: From 19 NSTs identified, 13 aimed to predict NS deterioration. Five NSTs were applied in PICU patients, but none was validated for this population. NSTs did not include clinical, NS, laboratory, or dietary variables that were deemed relevant for the PICU population.
Conclusion: None of the available NSTs were found to be suitable for critically ill children, so a new NST should be developed for this population. AQ6.

Programmable DNA Nanoswitch-Regulated Plasmonic CRISPR/Cas12a-Gold Nanostars Reporter Platform for Nucleic Acid and Non-Nucleic Acid Biomarker Analysis Assisted by a Spatial Confinement Effect.
Nano Lett

CRISPR/Cas 12a system based nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid targets detection faces two challenges including (1) multiple crRNAs are needed for multiple biomarkers detection and (2) insufficient sensitivity resulted from photobleaching of fluorescent dyes and the low kinetic cleavage rate for a traditional single-strand (ssDNA) reporter. To address these limitations, we developed a programmable DNA nanoswitch (NS)-regulated plasmonic CRISPR/Cas12a-gold nanostars (Au NSTs) reporter platform for detection of nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid biomarkers with the assistance of the spatial confinement effect. Through simply programming the target recognition sequence in NS, only one crRNA is required to detect both nucleic acid and non-nucleic acid biomarkers.

Histopathology

Department of Pathology, Molecular Pathology Research Center, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Science and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Aims: Nottingham grade for breast cancers, rather than gastro-entero-pancreatic (GEP) grade for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), is currently applied to primary breast NETs, which need further clarification. High-grade NETs in breast also remain poorly recognised.
Methods And Results: Among 595 breast carcinomas with diffuse synaptophysin (Syn) or chromogranin A (CgA) immunostaining (≥ 90%), 197 eligible cases were selected, including 69 NETs, 123 invasive breast carcinomas of no special type (IBC-NSTs) and five neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs).
A registry study on nonsyndromic craniosynostosis: Long-term associations with academic achievement.
J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg

Department of Medical Sciences, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Uppsala University, Sweden; Department of Psychology, Stockholm University, Sweden.
Objective: To assess the association between nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) and academic achievement.
Methods: Registry data were analyzed on demographic background, presence of craniosynostosis and other comorbidities, grades, and results on national standardized tests (NSTs) across primary and upper secondary school, as well as the presence of academic degrees. The analysis used regression modeling on a sample of N = 1110 individuals with NSC and a matched cohort of N = 10,654 individuals.
Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of N-salicyloyl tryptamine derivatives as multifunctional neuroprotectants for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a disease of high death and disability worldwide with few medications in clinical treatment. Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are considered as crucial factors in the progression of IS. In our previous studies, N-salicyloyl tryptamine derivative (NST) L7 exhibited promising anti-inflammatory properties and is considered a potential clinical therapy for IS but had limited antioxidant capacity.

Conventional insertion torque and pull-out tests are destructive and unsuitable for clinical bone screw fixation. This study evaluates screw stability using acoustic modal analysis (AMA) and Periotest compared to traditional methods in an ex vivo animal model. Titanium self-tapping screws (STS) and nonself-tapping screws (N-STS) were implanted in the proximal tibia of 12 rabbits.
