Objective To establish the reference value ranges of specific thyroid function indexes among pregnant women in the Longgang District Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital for avoiding the misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of pregnant thyroid diseases .Methods A total of 637 normal pregnant women with establishing the card in the outpatient department of this hospital and 201 non‐pregnant women undergoing the normal physical .The fasting venous blood was collected .The values of FT3 ,FT4 ,T3 , T4 and TSH were detected by adopting the chemiluminescence immunoassay .The median and 95% credibility interval statistical method was used to establish the normal reference value ranges of specific serum free triiodothyronine(FT3) ,free thyroxine(FT4) , three icdine thyroid gland(T3) ,total thyroid hormone(T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) in pregnancy .Results The me‐dian(M value) and double‐side limiting value(P2 .5 and P97 .5 ) were used to express the reference value ranges of thyroid hormones in early ,middle and late pregnant women and non‐pregnant women .FT3 and FT4 were significantly increased at early pregnancy ,then gradually increased with the pregnant period progression ,began to decrease from middle pregnancy and were higher than the levels before pregnancy .FT3 and FT4 were slightly increased ,then progressively decreased .TSH was significantly decreased in early pregnancy ,began to increase at middle pregnancy and was higher than the level in non‐pregnant women until late pregnancy .Conclu‐sion The establishment of reference value ranges of specific thyroid hormones during various stages of pregnancy ,which provides the clinical data for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease during pregnant period;the change rule of thyroid hormones in pregnant women provides a theoretical foundation for the prevention of thyroid disease during pregnant period .

Objective:To explore the influence of IL-18 on the expression of MHCⅠ,MHCⅡ,CD80,CD86 on the surface of 9L cells,to identify the effect of IL-18 on the immunogenicity and the efficiency of tumor antigen presentation of 9L.Methods:Retroviruses were used to transduce the mIL-18 gene into rat glioma cells and the cell clones (9L/IL-18) which steadily expressing mIL-18 gene were obtained ,and got the control cells of 9L/LXSN by the same method.The expression of MHCⅠ,MHCⅡ,CD80,CD86 on the cell surface were assessed by flow cytometry.The cell suspension of 9L/IL-18,9L/LXSN and 9L cells were inoculated into the brain of F344 rat to establish the animal models by the stereotactic technique ,got the tumor tissues to analyze the expression of MHCⅠ, MHCⅡ,CD80 and CD86 on the surface of tumor cells after 14 days.Results:The expression of MHCⅠ,MHCⅡ,CD80 and CD86 on the surface of 9L/IL-18 were (10.9±1.44)%,(0.61±0.14)%,(1.01±0.14)%,(0.57±0.11)% ; had no significant differences with the others in vitro (P>0.05);while the expression of MHCⅠ,CD80 and CD86 on the surface of 9L/IL-18 were(67.51± 1.40)%,(12.51±1.57)%,(6.95±0.56)%which were higher than 9L/LXSN and 9L cells (P<0.05),the expressions of MHCⅡwere no significant difference(P>0.05) in vivo.Conclusion: IL-18 did not affect the immunogenicity of 9L in vitro,but improve the immunogenicity and tumor antigen presentation in vivo.

BackgroundThe schizophrenia is majorly treated with drug and through physical therapy. However, both treatments would lead to adverse reactions, which could affect therapy adherence and treatment efficacy. Previous studies have shown that aerobic exercise can help alleviate cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease and depressive disorder. At present, little research has been done on such alleviation in schizophrenia patients. ObjectiveTo explore the effect of aerobic exercise on cognitive function in male patients with chronic schizophrenia, so as to provide references for relevant treatments. MethodsA total of 76 male patients with chronic schizophrenia hospitalized in the Fourth People's Hospital of Wuhu between December 2022 and April 2023 were selected as the study subjects and, in accordance with random number table, divided into study group (n=36) and control group (n=40). Both groups received conventional drug treatment. On this basis, the study group received a 60-minute aerobic exercise 5 times a week for 8 weeks as intervention. Before and after intervention, assessment of cognitive function was performed by using MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) and Stroop Color Word Test (SCWT). ResultAfter intervention, compared with the control group, the study group spent less time on finishing the Trail Making Test and scored higher in both the spatial span test and maze test (Z=-2.070, -2.306, -2.375, P<0.05). Repeated measure ANOVA results showed that the time main effect of Hopkins Verbal Learning Test score was statistically significant in the two groups after intervention (F=39.067, P<0.05). So was the interaction effect between the time and group of the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test and Verbal Fluency Test scores (F=10.092, 9.252, P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test and Verbal Fluency Test in the study group were higher than those in the control group (t=6.689, 4.249, P<0.05). As for the study group itself, the scores were higher than those before intervention (t=23.746, 23.842, P<0.05). After intervention, the numbers of correct reading in color test and word test in the study group were more than those in the control group (Z=-2.358, -2.771, P<0.05). The interaction effect between the time and group of the reaction time in color test, word test and color word interference test were statistically significant in both groups (F=23.383, 19.888, 19.662, P<0.05). After intervention, the reaction time in color test and color word interference test of the study group was shorter than those of the control group (t=4.895, 6.163, P<0.05). As for the study group itself, the reaction time were shorter than before intervention (t=54.318, 42.425, 42.141, P<0.01). ConclusionAerobic exercise may help alleviate the cognitive problems in male patients with chronic schizophrenia in terms of information processing speed, working memory, reasoning/problem solving ability, word learning and memorizing, visual learning and memorizing, and executive function.
