Journal of Preventive Medicine 2022;34(10):1048-1052
Objective:
To investigate the perinatal mortality and its causes in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide insights into the reduction of perinatal mortality.
Methods:
The perinatal mortality data were collected from three designated monitoring counties (districts) in Lishui City from 2015 to 2020. The changing trend in perinatal mortality and causes of death were analyzed, and the differences of perinatal causes of death and maternal conditions in urban and rural areas were compared.
Results:
There were 406 perinatal deaths in three monitoring counties (districts) of Lishui City from 2015 to 2020. The perinatal mortality showed a downward trend (χ2trend=5.078, P=0.024), and the average perinatal mortality rate was 5.93‰. The top five causes of perinatal mortality were birth defects, unknown causes, umbilical cord factors, maternal factors and preterm delivery. There was significant difference in the causes of perinatal death between urban and rural areas (χ2=25.574, P<0.001); birth defects, umbilical cord factors and unknown causes were predominant in urban areas, accounting for 75.00% (138 deaths); while birth defects, unknown causes and maternal factors were predominant in rural areas, accounting for 67.57% (150 deaths). The proportion of junior high school education and below was significantly higher in rural women than in urban women with perinatal death (54.50% vs. 26.63%; χ2=32.117, P<0.001), and the proportion of more than 5 antenatal examinations was significantly lower in rural women than in urban women with perinatal death (46.85% vs. 59.24%; χ2=6.195, P=0.012).
Conclusions
The perinatal mortality appeared a tendency towards a decline in Lishui City from 2015 to 2020, and birth defect was the main cause. Prenatal and postnatal care and tertiary prevention should be strengthened.

An RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of and Amlodipine (AL)Ramipril (RP) in tablets was developed and validated by Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010. The linearity of the proposed method was investigated in the range of 0.01-0.25 mg/mL (r2 ? 0.9998) for RP and 0.014-0.36 mg/mL (r2 ? 0.9997) for AL. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.06μg/mL and 0.02μg/mL for RP and AL, and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0.2μg/mL and 0.07μg/mL, respectively. Some major impurities and degradation products did not disturb the detection of RP and AL and the assay can thus be considered stability-indicating.

Objective To explore the role of Toll like receptor 2 (TLR2) in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris. Methods Venous blood was collected from 30 normal human controls and 90 patients with acne vulgaris. The patients were equally divided into three groups, i.e., mild, moderate and severe groups, according to disease severity. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the expression of TLR2 in PBMCs, and double antibody sandwich ELISA to measure the levels of serum interleukin-8 (IL-8) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Results A significant increase was observed in the expression of TLR2 in PBMCs, serum level of IL-8and TNF-α in the three groups of patients with acne vulgaris compared with the normal human controls (all P <0.01). The expression of TLR2 was positively correlated with the expression of IL-8 (r=0.382, 0.517,0.436,respectively, all P<0.05) and TNF-α(r=0.641, 0.725, 0.593, respectively, all P<0.05) in the patients with mild, moderate and severe acne vulgaris, respectively, and with the severity of acne vulgaris (r = 0.406,P<0.01 ). Conclusion The expression level of TLR2 and related cytokines seems closely correlated with the severity of acne vulgaris.

The present study aimed to investigate the impact of hypothyroidism on left ventricular systolic function using real-time three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (RT3D-STI). Thirty hypothyroidism patients and forty healthy volunteers were recruited and received RT3DSTI measurement of global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS), and global area strain (GAS). A comparison of differences between the hypothyroidism patients and those in the healthy group was carried out and we obtained the results as followings. The values of GLS were (-18.93 +/- 3.89) vs. (-21.44 +/- 1.99), with P < 0.01, GRS were (51.13 +/- 11.95) vs. (56.10 +/- 5.76), with P < 0.0; and GAS were (-31.63 +/- 5.38) vs. (-34.40 +/- 2.32), with P < 0.01, i.e. they were lower in hypothyroidism group than those in the health group. While GCS were (-17.75 +/- 1.92) vs. 17.03 +/- 3.45), with P > 0.05, which were not significantly different between the two groups. In linear regres sion, GLS showed significant correlation with both TSH (b = -0.69, P < 0.01) and FT3 (b = 0.71, P < 0.01). Meanwhile, the GRS (b = 2.98, P < 0.05) and GAS (b = 3.11, P < 0.05) linearly correlated with FT3 level. In conclusion, the present study shows that the global longitudinal and radial moves of left ventricular are weaker in patients with hypothyroidism than healthy controls. And the impairment of left ventricular function would aggravate as FSH rises or FT3 declines.
