Objective: To study correlation between heart rate variability (HRV) and arteriosclerosis in patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods: A total of 139 EH patients from our hospital were enrolled as EH group.According to carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), they were divided into normal subgroup (n=65, PWV<9 m/s) and abnormal subgroup (n=74, PWV≥9 m/s).Another 60 healthy adults undergoing physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected as healthy control group.HRV indexes, PWV, carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and number of carotid plaques were compared among all groups.Correlation among above indexes were analyzed in EH patients.Results: Compared with healthy control group, there was significant reduction in standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals in all 5 min segments of the entire recording[SDANN, (142.3±21.4)ms vs.(119.3±16.5)ms], significant rise in low frequency[LF, (341.7±37.9)Hz vs.(695.4±43.3) Hz], high frequency[HF, (519.1±33.6) Hz vs.(636.8±39.5)Hz], LF/HF[(0.6±0.3) vs.(1.0±0.2)], PWV[(7.44±0.82) m/s vs.(11.13±0.65) m/s]and IMT[(1.03±0.24)mm vs.(1.74±0.41)mm]in EH group, P<0.01 all;in EH group, compared with normal PWV subgroup, there was significant reduction in SDANN, and significant rise in LF, HF, LF/HF, IMT and mean number of carotid plaques in abnormal PWV subgroup, P<0.05 or <0.01;Pearson correlation analysis indicated that in EH patients, PWV and IMT were significant inversely correlated with SDANN (r=-0.713,-0.699, P<0.01 both), significant positively correlated with LF, HF, LF/HF and carotid plaques (r=0.506~0.935, P<0.01 all), and PWV was significant positively correlated with IMT (r=0.883, P=0.001).Conclusion: In EH patients, SDANN, LF, HF, LF/HF of HRV are significantly correlated with arteriosclerotic extent.Besides lowering blood pressure , HRV etc.related with artery pathological changs should also be treated.

Objective:To compare the maternal and fetal outcomes of women with cervical insufficiency (CI) undergoing McDonald cerclage (MC) and laparoscopic cervicoisthmic cerclage (LCC), so as to provide evidence for the selection of cerclage methods.Methods:A retrospective trial was carried out in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2010 to December 2020. A total of 221 women who underwent the prophylactic cerclage were divided into MC group ( n=54), LCC with MC history group ( n=28) and LCC without MC history group ( n=129) by the mode of operation and whether the pregnant women who underwent LCC had MC history. General clinical data, pregnancy complications and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the three groups. Results:(1) General clinical data: the proportion of women accepted cervical cerclage during pregnancy in MC group, LCC with MC history group and LCC without MC history group were 100.0% (54/54), 7.1% (2/28) and 27.1% (35/129), respectively ( P<0.001). The indications of the three groups showed statistical significance ( P=0.003), and the main indication was the history of abortion in the second and third trimester [75.9% (41/54) vs 89.3% (25/28) vs 84.5% (109/129)]. (2) Pregnancy complications: the incidence of abnormal fetal position [7.8% (4/51) vs 17.4% (4/23) vs 19.8% (24/121)], placenta accrete [5.9% (3/51) vs 13.0% (3/23) vs 11.6% (14/121)], uterine rupture [0 vs 4.3% (1/23) vs 5.8% (7/121)] in the MC group were all lower than those in LCC with MC history and LCC without MC history groups. However, there were no statistical significances (all P>0.05). Intrauterine inflammation or chorioamnionitis [15.7% (8/51) vs 0 vs 0.8% (1/121)] and premature rupture of membrane [23.5% (12/51) vs 4.3% (1/23) vs 0] were both significantly higher in MC group than those in LCC with MC history and LCC without MC history groups (all P<0.001). (3) Pregnancy outcomes: the cesarean section rate was significantly lower in MC group (41.2%, 21/51) than that in LCC with MC history group (100.0%, 23/23) and LCC without MC history group (100.0%, 121/121; P<0.001). MC group was associated with lower expenditure than LCC with MC history and LCC without MC history groups (12 169 vs 26 438 vs 27 783 yuan, P<0.001). The success rates of live birth cerclage did not differ significantly in MC (94.4%, 51/54), LCC with MC history (82.1%, 23/28) and LCC without MC history (93.8%, 121/129) groups ( χ2=5.649, P=0.059). There was no significant difference in neonatal intensive care unit occupancy, neonatal birth weight and neonatal asphyxia between the three groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Both LCC and MC are the treatment choice for women with CI, which may get similar liver birth. However, MC has the advantages of low cesarean section rate, economical and easy operation. Therefore, MC is recommended as the first choice for CI patients, and LCC is for women with failed MC.

The research team on the National Key Scientific Program of China: "Transcriptomic regulation and molecular mechanism research of polygenic tumor at different stages" has focused on the field of transcriptomics of 4 common polygenic tumors, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC), breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and glioma. Extensive laboratory work has been carried out on the expression and regulation of tumor transcriptomics; identification of tumor suppressor/susceptible genes; mechanism of tumor epigenetics including miRNAs, and comparative study of specific gene/protein cluster of tumor transcriptomics and proteomics. Genes including SPLUNC1, LTF, BRD7, NOR1, BRCA1/2, PALB2, AF1Q, SOX17, NGX6, SOX7, and LRRC4 have been identified as the key transcriptional regulation genes during the stage of tumor initiation and invasion. Accordingly,the NPC gene signal regulation network of "SPLUNC1-miR-141-target genes", the breast cancer interaction signal pathway of "miR-193b-uPA",the glioma signal network of "miR-381- LRRC4-MEK/ERK/AKT", and the miRNA-target gene network of colorectal cancer metastasis related gene NGX6 have been thoroughly elucidated. These fruitful Results imply that the changes of key molecules in crucial signal pathway will cause severe dysfunction in signal transduction and gene regulation network in polygenic tumors, indicating that in the category of pathogenesis,these tumors may further classify as the "Disease of gene signal transduction and gene regulation network disorder". The researches have laid solid foundation for revealing the molecular mechanism and transcriptomic regulation of polygenic tumors at different stages.
