Thyroid diseases are often accompanied with dyslipidemia.In me past,low level of myroid hormone(TH) was considered a main factor in causing elevated level of blood cholesterol in hypothyroid patients.However,some clinical features can not be explained by this traditional theory. For example,in subclinical hypothyroid cases,both levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and serum total cholesterol (TC) increase,while TH level remains normal.From this phenomenon,we speculate that in case with hypothyroidism,not only there is a relationship between serum TC and TH levels,but also serum TC level change is related to TSH in some way,which has not been noticed.The purpose of this paper is to review the new and most advanced progress in the research of TSH and cholesterol.

Objective To compare the effect of music and music plus non- nutritive sucking interventions on the newboms' pain caused by heel lance. Methods 75 neonates from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) whose gestational age=28 weeks were randomly separated into the music group,the music plus non-nutritive sucking group and the control group. The newboms' crying and grimacing,heart rate (HR), oxygen 9at-uration(SpO2) changes and times of crying 90 seconds after heel lance were observed. Results The cry-ing and grimacing time,the convalescence time of HR and SpO2 in the two intervention groups were significantly shorter than the control group.And the amplitude of HR, SpO2 changes was also significantly smaller than the control group.The crying and grimacing time and the convalescence time of HR and SpO2 in the music plus non-nutritive sucking group were significantly shorter than the music group. Conclusions Music or music plus non-nutritive sucking can ease newboms' pain caused by heellance.Music plus non-nutritive sucking can strengthen the music ther-apy's analgesic effect.

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.

Objective:To evaluate high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) genotyping and viral load in predicting CIN (cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2 or worse in a Chinese rural area population with limited health resources. Methods:We performed a population-based prospective study and enrolled 2,257 women aged 35 to 64 years from three rural screening sites of Jiangxi prov-ince. We conducted a hybrid capture (HC-2) assay to predict viral load. A HC-2 relative light unit (RLU) threshold of 10 was set to differ-entiate samples between low (<10) and high (≥10) viral loads. We also carried out a HybriMax test to detect different hrHPV geno-types in the samples. Women exhibiting positive HC-2 or HybriMax results underwent colposcopy and colposcopically directed biopsy. Women with negative or positive hrHPV test results but with normal biopsy or CIN1 were followed-up for 24 months without interven-tion (n=2,211). We used histopathological findings as outcome. Results:Of the 2,211 women, 1,636 provided complete follow-up data. Of the 132 women with a high viral load, 4 (3.03%) developed CIN2+in the same period. The relative risk (RR) of CIN2+for HC-2 posi-tivity at baseline was 42.24 (95%CI=4.76-375.2). Of the 159 women who were positive for HPV16 or HPV18 upon screening, 4 (2.52%) progressed to CIN2+(RR=33.06, 95%CI=3.72-293.9). The 2-year cumulative incidence rates of CIN2+did not significantly differ be-tween the high viral load group and the HPV16/18 group. Conclusion:The risks of CIN2+progression were higher among women with a high viral load or HPV16/18 positivity than among women with negative hrHPV. Increasing the HC-2 cut-off value to 10 RLU or using HPV16/18 positivity may be similarly used to triage hrHPV-positive women for immediate colposcopy and comprehensive follow-up.Both approaches were equally predictive of the CIN2+risk in rural area. Increasing the HC-2 cut-off value to 10 RLU may also help allo-cate health resources effectively.
