Objective To investigate the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes among women with syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014,and to explore the influence of anti?syphilis treatment on pregnancy outcomes. Methods A retrospective study was carried out according to the Information Management System for preventing mother?to?child transmission(PMTCT)of syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was compared between women with syphilis and general women without syphilis, between treated and untreated women with syphilis, as well as between women with syphilis receiving and not receiving standard anti?syphilis treatment. The effects of anti?syphilis treatment and standard anti?syphilis treatment on pregnancy outcomes were analyzed. Results Data were collected from 3 985 women with syphilis and their children. Of these women, 12 had a stillbirth, and 3 973 a live birth. Totally, 3 210(80.55%)women received anti?syphilis treatment, 967(30.12%, 967/3 210) women received substandard treatment, and 775(19.45%)did not receive anti?syphilis treatment. Of the 3 985 fetuses or neonates born to women with syphilis, 45(1.13%)had abnormal clinical symptoms/signs. The incidence rates of low birth weight and early neonatal death were 7.00%(279/3 985) and 1.13%(45/3 985) respectively in fetuses or neonates born to women with syphilis, both significantly higher than those in fetuses or neonates born to general women without syphilis (3.18%[26 092/819494] and 0.13%[1 029/819 494], respectively, both P < 0.01). Among 775 untreated women with syphilis, the incidence rates of premature birth, low birth weight, early neonatal death, congenital syphilis and abnormal neonatal symptoms/signs were 15.61%(121/775), 10.84%(84/775), 2.45%(19/775), 3.48%(27/775)and 2.84%(22/775)respectively, all significantly higher than those in 3 210 women receiving anti?syphilis therapy (8.26%, 6.07%, 0.81%, 0.81% and 1.03%,respectively, all P < 0.01). Besides, the 967 women receiving substandard anti?syphilis treatment showed higher incidence rates of premature birth, low birth weight, early neonatal death, congenital syphilis and abnormal neonatal symptoms/signs than the 2 243 women receiving standard treatment (10.44%vs. 7.31%, 8.17%vs. 5.17%, 1.55%vs. 0.49%, 1.65%vs. 0.45%, 1.96%vs. 0.62%, respectively, all P<0.01). Conclusions The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes is high among women with syphilis in Zhejiang province during 2013-2014. Untreated and inadequately treated maternal syphilis is strongly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To investigate the expression of melatonin MT1 receptor in rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and the protective effects of melatonin (MT) pre-intervention for the pancreas. Methods Fifty-four male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups:sham-operation group, ANP group and MT-pretreated group. The models of ANP were induced by retrograde injection sodium taurocholate into the bili-pancreatic duct. MT group undergoing intraperitoneal injection 50 mg/kg 30 minutes before the establishment of ANP models. Four, 8 and 12 hours after the onset of operation, the levels of serum amylase and pathological changes of the pancreas were observed. The contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) in the pancreas were measured. The expression of MT1 protein and MT1 mRNA in pancreas were separately analyzed by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. Results (1) Pancreatic pathological damage in ANP groups was progressive exacerbated. It was obviously ameliorated in MT group as compared with ANP group ( P < 0.05 ); (2) Compared with SO group, the levels of serum amylase, MDA and TNFα in the pancreas were significantly increased in ANP group (P <0.05 or P <0.01 ). They were markedly decreased in MT group as compared with ANP group [ 12 h, (2348.00 ±278.90)U/L vs (3194. 83 ±538.10)U/L,(2.255 ± 0.472 ) μmol/L vs ( 2.960 ± 0.722 ) μ mol/L, ( 102.929 ± 29.399 ) ng/L vs ( 378. 544 ±183.454)ng/L, P < 0.05 ]. The level of SOD was decreased in ANP group compared with SO group (P <0.05) and increased in MT group[ 12h, (11.448 ± 1.594)U/L vs (8.427 ± 1.950)U/L, P<0.05] ;(3)Compared with SO group, the expression of MT1 protein and MT1 mRNA in ANP group were down-regulated as the severity of the disease increased ( P < 0.05 ). They were significantly higher in MT group than ANP group. Conclusions Melatonin pre-intervention is able to increase SOD level and decrease MDA, TNFα levels, thereby reducing pancreatic injury. The MT1 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of ANP. MT might exert protective effects for the pancreas in ANP rats through increase the expression of MT1.
