Objective To investigate the effect of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) syndrome on the blood lipid level of neonate. Methods Eighty neonates, whose mother had PIH, were enrolled and divided into three groups according to the 6th version of diagnostic standard from published Obstetrics and Gynecology:gestational hypertension group (PIH group 1 ,n = 30) ,mild pre-eclampsia group (PIH group 2,n =30),serious pre-eclampsia group (PIH group 3,n =20) ,and 40 infants with healthy mother were enrolled as normal control group. The blood lipid was measured by automatic biochemical analyzer. Results (1) The TG levels of the cord blood were (0.28±0. 10)mmol/L in PIH group 1,(0.33 ±0.09)mmol/L in PIH group 2,(0.39 ±0.06) mmol/L in PIH group 3,and (0. 23 ±0. 07)mmol/L in normal control respectively. TG levels were significantly higher in PIH groups compared to normal control,and the TG concentration increased gradually with the mothers' gestational hypertension (F = 2. 765, Ps <0. 05). (2)The HDL-C levels of the cord blood were (0. 61 ±0. 23) mmol/L in PIH group 1, (0. 54 ± 0. 25) mmol/L in PIH group 2, (0.47 ± 0. 15) mmol/L in PIH group 3, (0. 65 ±0. 14) mmol/L in the normal contral respectively;and the ApoA levels of the cord blood were (0. 63 ±0.24)g/L in PIH group 1 ,(0. 59 ±0. 16)g/L in PIH group 2, (0.53 ±0.21)g/L in PIH group 3,(0.69 ±0. 12)g/L in the normal contral respectively. Both index were significantly higher in PIH groups compared to normal control, and the concentrations decreased gradually with the mothers' gestational hypertension (F=2.783,P<0.05;F=2.831,P<0.05). (3)The TC levels of the cord blood were (1.41 ± 0. 37) mmol/L in PIH group 1, (1. 51 ±0.45) mmol/L in PIH group 2, (1. 56 ±0. 56) mmol/L in PIH group3, (1. 36 ±0.41) mmol/L in the normal contral respectively;and the LDL-C levels of the cord blood were (0. 79 ±0. 26)mmol/L in PIH group 1,(0. 80 ±0. 18)mmol/L in PIH group 2,(0. 82 ±0. 30)mmol/L in PIH group 3,(0.74 ±0. 18) mmol/L in the normal contral respectively. The data showed that the cord blood TC and LDL-C levels of PIH were higher than normal control and increased gradually with the mothers'gestational hypertension, but they didn' treach the significant level (F = 0. 695,P>0. 05;F = 0. 483,P>0. 05). (4)The LPA levels of the cord blood were (24. 50 ± 12. 01) g/L in PIH group 2, (22. 68 ± 9. 50) g/L PIH group 3,which were lower than normal control (25.70 ±11.90) g/L, and the LPA levels of the cord blood were higher in PIH group 1(33.46 ± 20. 10)g/L,while the differences didn't reach significant level compared among four groups (F = 1.480,P> 0.05). Conclusion The unhealthy intrauterus condition of PIH lead abmoral fat metabolism in fetus, and itmight get worse along with the severity of the mother's gestational hypertension. We presumed that the neonates of PIH mothers would be more prone to have coronary heart disease,atherosclerosis and abnormal fat metabolism related disease compared with newboms from normal control group.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical and the pathological diagnosis of elderly with dementia, assess the related factors affecting the diagnosis.MethodsThe 42 autopsied elderly patients with dementia were assessed with the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) criteria and the ischemic scales of Hachinski, Rosen, Loeb and Gandolfo for the clinical diagnosis of dementia. Specificity was calculated using the neuropathologic diagnosis as a gold standard.ResultsThe patients were differentiated with pathology verified Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD), and “mixed” (AD plus VaD) dementia, Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). Comparing clinical criteria and neuropathology, the consistent rate was 80.0% for AD, 52.4% for VaD, 18.2% for AD+VaD and 0.0% for PDD. The consistent rate between 3 scores and the pathological diagnosis was about 40%~70%. There were no significant differences between the average age of onset and the survival time, and the ischemic scales of Hachinski, Rosen, Loeb and Gandolfo among the 4 types of dementia. There was no significant difference in the specificity of the NINDS criteria among the 4 types of dementia.ConclusionDementia associated with cerebrovascular disease and Parkinson's disease is the main factor affecting the diagnosis of elderly with dementia. There is no significant difference for the diagnosis of dementia among the ischemic scales of Hachinski, Rosen, Loeb and Gandolfo.

AIM: To investigate the immune stimulation capacity of B7-H1 blockade on immature dendritic cells (DCs) in vitro. METHODS: The human monocyte-derived dendritic cells were induced in the presence of cytokine GM-CSF and IL-4. The expression of B7-H1 was detected by FCM. On blockade of B7-H1, the maturation and endocytic activity, T cells stimulatory proliferation capacity, IL-12 production, T cell differentiation effect of DCs were detected by FCM, MTT assay, ELISA and ELISPOT, respectively. RESULTS: The expression of B7-H1 was increased with the induction of DCs. On day 7, the positive expression was 54.12%, and the TNF-? induced mature DCs had the positive expression rate of 83.64%. The blockade of B7-H1 on immature DCs had sharply increased their T cells stimulatory proliferation capacity and IL-12 production, and efficiently induced the development of Th1/Tc1 cells, but had no effect on their maturation and endocytic activity. CONCLUSION: The blockade of B7-H1 on immature DCs increases its immune stimulation activity. It is valuable to investigate the antitumor immune responses of DCs vaccine with B7-H1 blockade.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) are two common disorders in neurology departments that place a significant economic burden on patients′ families and society. In recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between the two, but there is no clear-cut conclusion that RLS may be both a consequence of ICVD and associated with an increased risk of developing ICVD and poor functional outcome. This article summarizes the latest research findings on ICVD and RLS in China and abroad, with a view to providing a better understanding of their interaction and pathophysiological mechanisms, as well as providing some references for the early prevention and treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular events and rehabilitation.

Objective:
To understand the prevalence and influencing factors of scoliosis among primary and middle school students in Shanghai, so as to provide reference for the prevention and control strategies of scoliosis in children and adolescents.
Methods:
From September to December 2021, a total of 4 531 students from grade four of primary school to grade three of junior high school from 16 primary and middle schools in 4 districts of Shanghai were selected by multi stage stratified cluster sampling to carry out scoliosis screening and questionnaire survey. Independent sample t-test, Chi-squared test, Fisher s exact probability method and nonparametric Mann Whitney U-test were used for statistical analysis, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of scoliosis.
Results:
The on the spot detection rate of scoliosis abnormality was 7.4% and the prevalence was 2.2%, mainly for thoracolumbar scoliosis (60.4%) and the scoliosis angle of 10° -<20°(88.1%). The results showed that the detection rate of scoliosis in boys was 1.6% and in girls was 3.3%, with a statistically significant difference ( χ 2=11.84, P < 0.01). There were significant differences in weight and BMI between scoliosis students and students with negative initial screening( t = -3.77, -5.30, P <0.01). And there was a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of scoliosis with different frequency of classroom seating arrangements ( Z =2.02, P <0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression showed that the risk of scoliosis in girls was higher than that in boys ( OR =1.87, 95% CI =1.21-2.88). BMI ( OR =0.89, 95% CI =0.83-0.95) and frequency of classroom seating arrangements ( OR =0.49, 95% CI =0.25-0.93) were correlated with lower rate of scoliosis. After stratification by sex, the frequency of classroom seating arrangements ( OR =0.26, 95% CI =0.10-0.67) in boys and the educational stage ( OR =2.35, 95% CI =1.26-4.41) in girls ( P <0.05) was correlated with higher rate of scoliosis, while BMI ( OR =0.86, 95% CI =0.79-0.94) in girls were correlated with lower rate of scoliosis.
Conclusion
Regular screening of scoliosis is an effective method for early detection of scoliosis. Girls in junior high school and low BMI should be paid close attention to. According to the occurrence and influencing factors of scoliosis, comprehensive prevention and control based on family, school, society, and other aspects can be carried out.

Objectives: To investigate the expression of phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) in pancreatic cancer tissues, and its potential role in pancreatic cancer. Methods: The expression of PSAT1 in 98 human pancreatic cancer tissues, which were collected from the People's Hospital of Guizhou, between July 2013 to July 2017, and the corresponding adjacent normal tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining. Additionally, the relationship between the expression of PSAT1 and the clinicopathological parame-ters, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) of patients with pancreatic cancer was evaluated. The human pancreatic can-cer cell lines, BxPC-3 and SW1990, were transfected with PSAT1-siRNA, to investigate the effect of PSAT1 knockdown on cell prolifera-tion, migration, and invasion. Additionally, we performed Western blot to assess the expression of PI3K/Akt/mTOR-related proteins in PSAT1-knockdown cells. Results: The percentages of PSAT1-positive cells in pancreatic cancer and adjacent non-tumor tissues were 69.4% (68/98) and 5.0% (5/98), respectively, indicating a significantly higher expression of PSAT1 in pancreatic cancer tissues com-pared to adjacent non-tumor tissues (P<0.05). The increased expression of PSAT1 in pancreatic cancer tissues correlated with lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that a high expression of PSAT1 correlated with a poor OS and DFS compared to a low expression of PSAT1 (P<0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the expression of PSAT1 is an independent prog-nostic marker for OS and DFS in pancreatic cancer patients (P<0.05, all). Transient transfection of BxPC-3 and SW1990 cells with PSAT1-siRNA markedly reduced the cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities of these cells compared to transfection with NC-siRNA (P<0.05). Knockdown of PSAT1 in pancreatic cancer cells also inhibited the expression of p-Akt and p-mTOR (P<0.05). Conclusions: The expression of PSAT1 increases in human pancreatic cancer tissues and cell lines. Additionally, PSAT1 regulates cell proliferation and in-vasion through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
