Objective Study the relationship between HLA antibodies production and the number of Gravidity.Methods A total of 856 pregnant women of first pretanal in Xiasha Hospital of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital of Zhejiang University from Nov 2016 to Mar 2017 were recruited.The blood samples were collected during 24-28 weeks of pregnancy,and the expression of platelet-specific alloantibody was detected by solid-phase red cell adherence assay.Results There were 67 positive HLA antibody in pregnant women,and the antibody positive rate was 7.8%.There were 15 positive HLA antibody in 334 first pregnant women,14 in 214 two or more pregnancy pregnant women without abortion,10 in 107 pregnant women with once abortion,28 in 223 pregnant women with two or more abortion.The antibody positive rate respectively is 4.5%,6.5%,9.3% and 12.6%.The production of HLA antibody was significantly associated with the numberof gravidity.Conclusion The antibody positive rate of two or more pregnancy is significantly higher than the fisrt pregnancy.

Objective:
To investigate the effect of glycogen synthase kinase 3 β ( GSK-3 β) and its correlation with microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) during cerebral hypoxia / reoxygenation (H / R) in zebrafish.
Methods:
The cerebral hypoxia / reoxygenation model of zebrafish was established.Healthy adult zebrafishes of the same size were divided into control group ( Control) ,hypoxia / reoxygenation group ( H / R) and hypoxia / reoxygenation + GSK-3 β inhibitor group (H / R + TDZD-8) for experiment.The brain tissues of zebrafish in each group were selected to determine the mRNA expressions of hypoxia inducible factor 1 αa and 1 αb (HiF-1αa and HIF-1 αb) at different reoxygenation time points by qRT-PCR , and the protein expression levels of HIF-1α , GSK-3 β , p-GSK-3 β (Ser 9) and MAP2 were detected by Western blot,TTC staining and TUNEL staining were used to detect cerebral infarction area and cell apoptosis ,and immunofluorescence was used to detect the distribution and expression of MAP2 in brain.
Results:
Compared with Control group,the mRNA levels of Hif-1αa and Hif-1 αb(P<0. 01) and protein expression of Hif-1 α(P<0. 01) increased in H / R group,the area of cerebral infarction (P <0. 01) and apoptotic cells(P <0. 01) increased,p-GSK-3 β ( Ser 9) / GSK-3 β ratio,MAP2 protein expression (P <0. 05) and immunofluorescence expression of MAP2 (P <0. 01 ) reduced ; Furthermore,TDZD-8 pretreatment could relieve the brain injury of H / R zebrafish by decreasing the infarct size and cell apoptosis,improving the ratio of p-GSK-3 β ( Ser 9 ) / GSK-3 β , and increasing the expression of MAP2.
Conclusion
Hypoxia / reoxygenation can cause brain neuron damage in zebrafish,and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of GSK-3 β phosphorylation and MAP2 expression.GSK-3 β specific inhibitor TDZD-8 can reverse the damage of brain neurons caused by hypoxia / reoxygenation by promoting the expression of P-GSK-3 β (Ser 9) and reducing MAP2 degradation.
