Objective To study the expression of the imprinted gene H19 and IGF-Ⅱ in newborn placenta,and to discuss its influence on the birth body mass of the neonate. Methods The fresh placental tissues from full-term newborn (without trimester of pregnancy complica-tion and placenta and funic abnormality) with normal,high and low birth body mass (12,10 and 8 samples respectively)were collected. The expression of imprinted gene H19 and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA in the placenta were estimated by reakime fluorescence quantitative PCR Results The ex-pression of H19 mRNA in the placenta was negative correlation to the birth body mass (r =-0.403,P = 0.027).The expression of of IGF-H mRNA was positive correlated to the birth body mass (r = 0.444,P = 0.014). The H19 mRNA expression level in the high birth weight neonates (0.21 0.31) was significantly lower than that in the low birth body mass neonates (1.51 2.04)(P= 0.013). But the expression level of IGF-Ⅱ mRNA in the high birth body mass neonates (2.67±3.41) was significantly higher than that in the low birth body mass neonates (0.39±0.33)(P =0.013). Conclusion The expression of H19 and IGF-Ⅱ mRNA was significantly different in the placenta of normal,high and low birth body mass newboms. These two genes may be related to the birth body mass,and there may be some realation-ship between these two genes.

Objective We compared the difference of diagnosing macrosomia using the body mass index (BMI)and body mass,so as to investigate whether BMI play an important role in the diagnosis and management of macrosomia in our clinical work.Methods We analysed 5522 newborns (without any maternal complication)delivered in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from Jan.2004 to Apr.2009,all of them were full term,singleton and with the birth body mass larger than 2500 g,among them 4989 were in the group with body mass <4000 g,that was 2510-4000 g.533 cases were in the group of body mass ≥4000 g.By both body mass and length,we got the BMI.According to statistical receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC),we determined the cutoff of BMI for diagnosing macrosomia,in addition the sensitivity and specificity of it. Using this newly gotten BMI cutoff as a method to diagnose macrosomia and analyse the results.Results (1)When the newborns with birth length 40-43 cm.the mean birth body mass was(3010 ±351)g,BMI was(17.0 ±2.7)kg/m2;the newborns with birth length 48-51 cm,the mean birth body mass was(3450 ±313)g,BMI was(13.2±1.4)kg/m2;newborns with birth length 56-60 cm,the mean birth body mass was(4332 ±456)g,BMI was(12.5 ±1.3)kg/m2,The longer the birth length,the larger the birth body mass,while the less BMI.(2)Determined by ROC curve,the BMI value could be used to diagnose macrosomia was 14.2 kg/m2.with sensitivity of 78.4% and specificity of 85.0%, the area of under curve was 0. 892. (3) By the BMI cutoff ( 14. 2 kg/m2 ), 111 macorsomia with birth body mass ≥4000 g were not macrosomia any more (20. 8%, 111/533 ),422 still were macrosomia (79.2% ,422/533) ; while for those birth body mass <4000 g, 728 were macrosomia determined by this BMI cutoff ( 14. 59%, 728/4989 ), 4261 were still not macrosomia ( 85.41%, 4261/4989 ). Using BMI cutoff 14. 2 kg/m2 to diagnose macrosomia, within the group of birth body mass ≥4000 g, their birth length in macrosomia and non macrosomia was (52. 2 ± 1.8) cm and ( 55.6 ± 1.3 ) cm respectively, the difference was significant (P <0. 01 ) ;while within the group with body mass <4000 g, the birth length of macrosomia and non-macrosomia was (49.0 ±2. 2) cm and (50. 8 ±2. 2) cm respectively,the difference was significant as well (P <0. 01 ). The whole incidence of macrosomia was 20. 83% (1150/5522) determined by this BMI cutoff. Conclusions Birth body mass and BMI in determining macrosomia show some bias, and birth length relates with this difference, which suggests birth length maybe play an important role in determine the macrosomia. We suggest it is very necessary to use BMI≥ 14. 2 kg/m2 in the diagnosis and management of macrosomia.

Objective:To explore bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibition in the regulation of vascular endothelial cells activation and early atherosclerosis formation and its potential molecular mechanisms.Methods:1.Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and mouse heart endothelial cells (MHEC) were isolated,and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) was used to activate in flammatory genes transcription in the presence or absence of JQ1,a specific BET inhibitor.The groups are as follows:(1)Normal control group;(2) TNFα(25 ng/mL)group;(3) TNFα+JQ 1 group.The gene mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory cytokines were measured by both real-time PCR and flow cytometry (FCM).2.LDL receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-) mice were randomly divided into 2 groups:JQ1 group (n=8,JQlintraperitoneal,50 mg/kg,daily) and control group (n=8,DMSO,daily).After 8 weeks feeding with high cholesterol diet,vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in aortic arch was measured by immunohistochemistry.The activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling was monitored by 5XκB luciferase reporter assay in HEK293.Results:TNFα dramatically induced the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory genes and JQ 1 significantly downregulated the induction of them (E-selectin,P-selectin,VCAM-1,IL-8)(P＜0.01).Immunohistochemistry detection indicated that JQ1 significantly downregulated the expression of VCAM-1 in aortic arch induced by 8 weeks high cholesterol diet feeding comparing to control group.In addition,BET bromodomain inhibition downregulated TNFα upregulated NF-κB transcriptional activity (P＜0.01).Conclusions:Our study demonstrated that BET bromodomain was involved in NF-κB mediated inflammatory genes expression;inhibition of BET bromodomain suppressed vascular endothelial activation in vitro,and attenuated early atherogenesis in vivo.

Objective: To evaluate the applications and problems of statistical methods for articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》. Methods: We reviewed the statistical methods for original articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》in 2010, 2011 and 2015; general status with problems was analyzed and the situations were compared among different years. Results: A total of 404 articles were enrolled, statistical hypothesis testing was performed in 366 of them, 32 had descriptive statistics only and 6 articles were meta-analysis. The most frequently used statistical methods were student'st-test (57.4%), followed by chi-squared analysis (56.7%), analysis of variance (35.2%) and regression analysis (23.0%). The main statistical problems in Methods included in described method un-matched to really used method and insufifcient or wrong description. The proportion of insufifcient or wrong description in 2010 and 2011 was 36.6% (71/194), while in 2015 was 26.2% (55/210),P=0.02. The major wrong application of statistical approach was ignoring design with improper method and using unsatisifed precondition for speciifc analysis. The proportion of improper statistical method application in 2010 and 2011 was 19.1% (33/173), in 2015 was 19.7% (38/193),P=0.88. Conclusion: The quality of statistics was improved in 2015 than 2010 and 2011 for articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》; while there were still problems at certain degree, enhanced statistical review should be conducted in medical journals.

Objectives To understand the current situation and evaluation about the employer's demand of knowledge level and comprehensive ability of professional undergraduate talents in the health management. Methods Using self-designed questionnaire, the investigation was carried out on the company executives and teachers from 12 health management-related enterprises where health management graduates of Hangzhou Normal University practice internships . A total of 31 valid questionnaires were recovered . SPSS 19.0 software was used to conduct descriptive analysis, hierarchical analysis and rank-sum test of one-way ordinal data. Results Employers believe that students need to strengthen the knowledge of health man-agement and medical knowledge, and the top three skills that students are most likely to improve are common disease management skills, health risk factors intervention skills and health monitoring skills. Amongst those areas of professional abilities that need improving, three of the most important skill sets include suffi-cient fundamental knowledge in medicine and pharmacology, analytical and problem-solving abilities and teamwork as well as communication skills. There is a significant difference among the level of students' pro-fessional knowledge, the level of their professional skills and the level of their comprehensive ability by the rank-sum test (P<0.05). Conclusion According to the results of the demand-side's survey, training of health management undergraduate talents should increase the proportion of teaching about medical theory knowledge, redesign practical teaching modules, carry out foreign language learning as well as promoting the training method of health talents by the means of information, in order to optimize the training of profes-sional health talents through multi-angle as well as multi-level.
