Objective To investigate the Toxoplasma gondii infection situation and relative factors in reproductive women in Shandong area,so as to provide the evidences for establishing strategies for reducing the birth defects and improving the quality of population. Methods A total of 5 386 reproductive women who visited hospitals at county and city levels in Shandong region from January 2013 to December 2015 were treated as the research objects,and their venous blood samples were collected to de?tect the antibodies(IgG and IgM)against T. Gondii in serum. Meanwhile,the related risk factors of T. gondii infection were sur?veyed by questionnaires. Results Among the 5 386 reproductive women,623 ones were positive for IgG antibody and the posi?tive rate was 11.56%,and 328 ones were positive for IgM antibody and the positive rate was 6.21%. The single factor analysis showed that the pregnant status(χ2 =13.12,P<0.01),whether the residences were in downtowns or counties(χ2 =6.27, P<0.05),whether having animal contact history(χ2=10.46,P<0.01),and whether eating half?baked foods(χ2=21.19, P < 0.01)were related to T. gondii infection. Conclusions The T. gondii infection rate of reproductive women in Shandong Province is high;the related risk factors include pregnant status,residence,degree of intimate contact with animal,and wheth?er eating half?baked foods. It suggests that the detection of T. gondii infection and health education in reproductive women should be strengthened.

Aim To investigate the anti-arrhythmic effect and mechanism of ?-opioid receptor during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion in rats,and to initially determine the regulation of U50488H(U50,a selective ?-opioid receptor agonist) to angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ),endothelin(ET) and nitric oxide(NO) in rats.Methods Rats were randomly divided into 7 groups,i.e.,control group,ischemia/reperfusion group(I/R),U50488H+I/R group,PTX group(PTX,a Gi/o proteininhibitor),Glib group(glibenclamide,a K_(ATP) channel blocker),Che group(chelerythrine,a selective PKC inhibitor),and Gen group(Genistein,a Tyrosine kinase inhibitor) respectively.The arrhythmia occurrence and score in different groups were observed and counted.The contents of AngⅡ,ET and NO in plasma of rats were also examined.Results ① Compared with I/R group,the arrhythmia score of U50+I/R group was significantly decreased.The effect of pared with I/R group,the arrhythmia score of U50+I/R group was significantly decreased.The effect of glibenclamide and chelerythrine respectively,the anti-arrhythmic effects induced by U50488H in the rats during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion were significantly attenuated or even completely blocked.③ The anti-arrhythmic effects of U50488H were not significantly affected by pretreatment with genistein.④ In comparison with normal rats,the contents of AngⅡand ET in plasma of I/R group were significantly increased,but the content of NO was decreased.With the administration of U50488H,the contents of AngⅡand ET in plasma of rats in U50488H+I/R group were significantly decreased.Meantime the content of NO was increased.Conclusions ① U50488H-induced anti-arrhythmic effects in the rats with myocardial ischemia and reperfusion are mediated by ?-opioid receptor.The signaling pathway may be related with(Gi/o,) PKC,and K_(ATP) channel.② The activation of ?-opioid receptor may elicit anti-arrhythmic effect through the down-regulations of AngⅡ or ET and up-regulation of NO in plasma of rats.

Objective To explore dynamic changes of renal cortex blood perfusion in Goto-Kakizaki rats(GK rats) by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography.The clues for early diagnosis and intervention of diabetic renal impairment may be obtained from the study.Methods Male GK rats were taken as experimental groups,and Wistar male rats were used as controls.Contrast-enhanced agent SonoVue was administered via the femoral vein cannulation in a bolus fashion.Image changes of renal cortex were observed in real time, and dynamic image changes within 0 - 5 minute after injection were observed and stored.The renal cortex blood perfusion changes were analyzed using the time-intensity curve (TIC).Results (1) The kidney was quickly enhanced after the injection of contrast agent.The renal artery, cortex, renal vein were displayed in sequence.(2)The shape of renal perfusion TIC in all the objects was a single peak,steep ascending, flat descending curve.The overall shape of TIC in GK rats was wider than controls and they were wider and wider with age increasing of the GK rats.(3) Compare to controls,the time to peak (TTP)and the half time of peak descending (HDT) in GK rats was longer (P <0.01), the slope rates of the ascending curve (S1) and the slope rates of the descending curve (S2) decreased and the area under the curve increased in 12-week-old and 20-week-old GK rats (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).Conclusions The abnormal blood perfusion of renal cortex microcirculation was present in the early stage of diabetic in GK rats.Real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and TIC could display this change effectively.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis value of heparin-binding protein ( HBP ) and pentraxin 3 ( PTX3 ) in neonatal bacterial infectious diseases . Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 30 septic neonatal as neonatal sepsis group and 84 local infection neonatal as general infection group from May to November 2017 in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University .It also selected 50 high bilirubin hematic disease but without infection or shock neonatal ( control group ) .A total of 114 neonatal bacterial infection ( neonatal sepsis group and general infection group ) were divided into shock group ( 39 cases) and non-shock group ( 75 cases ) . The levels of plasma HBP and PTX3 were tested with immunoturbidimetry and ELSIA respectively .The results of procalcitonin ( PCT ) and white blood cells (WBC) counts were collected.Non-parametric test were performed for non-normal distribution data; the diagnostic performances of data were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve; pearson correlation coefficient was performed for correlation analysis .Results Plasma levels of HBP in neonatal sepsis group, general infection group and control group were (64.41 ±78.51) ng/ml, (47.16 ±50.59) ng/ml and (31.97 ±20.76) ng/ml, respectively; plasma levels of PTX3 were (2.23 ±1.44) ng/ml, (1.76 ±0.94) ng/ml and (1.26 ±0.66) ng/ml, respectively;serum levels of PCT were (31.92 ±36.65) ng/ml,( 7.72 ±9.28 ) ng/ml and ( 1.87 ±5.02 ) ng/ml, respectively.The levels of PTX3 and PCT in neonatal sepsis group were significantly higher than in general infection group (Z=3.74, Z=5.01, all P<0.05) and control group (Z=3.98, Z=5.20, all P<0.05).The levels of HBP in neonatal sepsis group were significantly higher than in control group ( Z =2.37, P <0.05 ), but there were no significant difference in neonatal sepsis group and general infection group (Z=1.16, P>0.05).The levels of PTX3 and PCT in shock group were significantly higher than in non-shock group ( Z=2.20, Z=3.70, all P<0.05), but there were no significant difference in plasma HBP of shock and non-shock group ( Z=0.37, P>0.05).The area under curve (AUC) of HBP, PTX3 and PCT were 0.683, 0.802 and 0.869 respectively in the diagnosis of neonatal bacterial infection diseases .The biggest AUC of combined diagnosis of HBP, PTX3 and PCT was 0.910.There was a positive correlation between PTX 3 and PCT ( r=0.242, P<0.05) .Conclusions PTX3 and PCT could probably be acted as an important biomarker for diagnosis of neonatal bacterial infection diseases , and combined diagnosis of HBP , PTX3 and PCT could be superior to single biomarker diagnosis.
