Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of glucose-6- phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency in Chinese on the intracellular glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and reactive oxygen intermediates production of peripheral neutrophil. Methods: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, its mRNA expression and reactive oxygen intermediates production(NBT test) in silent or stimulated neutrophil from health controls and patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency were analysized. Results: Compared with health controls, the activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase of peripheral neutrophil from patients with glucose-6 -phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency was decreased, and its mRNA expression increased. Reactive oxygen intermediate production increased(no statistical signification) in silence but decreased following stimulation by LPS in neutrophil from normal individuals than that from patients. Conclusion: Decreased activity of G-6-PD and production of reactive oxygen intermediates following stimulation in neutrophil could be caused by G-6-PD deficiency in Chinese.

Objective To explore the value of non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) in pregnant women with intermediate risk after traditional Down syndrome screening. Methods From March 1 2015 to March 31 2016, a total of 2 949 pregnant women with intermediate risk after traditional Down syndrome screening who received NIPT as the second-line screening method at Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital after informed consent were recruited for this study. Retrospective data analysis including the results of traditional Down syndrome screening, ultrasound, NIPT and invasive amniocentesis to fetal karyotype analysis were conducted, and pregnant outcomes were followed up. Results NIPT results were all obtained in 2 949 pregnant women with intermediate risk after traditional Down syndrome screening. Of 25 NIPT-positive cases, 24 cases received invasive amniocentesis to fetal karyotype analysis. Thirteen cases were confirmed with fetal chromosomal abnormalities including 5 cases of trisomy 21, 2 cases of trisomy 13, 4 cases of sex chromosomal abnormalities and 2 cases of other chromosomal abnormalities. In addition, 1 NIPT-positive case refused prenatal diagnosis was confirmed normal result after birth. The postnatal follow-up in NIPT-negative women did not find any newborn with chromosomal abnormality. The incidence of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in women with intermediate risk was 0.44% (13/2 949). Conclusion NIPT can be used as second-line screening method in pregnant women with intermediate risk after Down syndrome screening, which could lead to the prenatal detection of a higher proportion of fetal chromosomal abnormalities and a lower invasive-testing rate.

Objective To determine the association of one single nucleotide polymorphism loci G 398C in PRM2 with male in‐fertility in Chinese Han population .Methods A total of 386 infertile men were recruited as the observation group and 255 fertile men were recruited as the control group .Routine semen analysis as well as sperm functional parameters such as DNA integrity and nucleoprotein maturity rates were analyzed .Direct sequencing of G398C in PRM2 gene of infertile and fertile men was also conduc‐ted to evaluate the association of G398C SNP loci with male infertility .Results Statistical analysis showed that the frequencies of CC genotype of PRM2 G398C was significantly different between the infertile (11 .92% ) and fertile men (6 .67% ) and it was asso‐ciated with increased risk of male infertility (OR= 2 .002 ,95% CI= 1 .097 -3 .653 ,P< 0 .05) .Moreover ,it was discovered that sperm DNA integrity as well as nucleoprotein maturity rate of CC genotype were dramatically decreased compared with other geno ‐types (P<0 .05) ,which would probably lead to infertility .Conclusion Our results gave the first evidence that PRM 2 G398C poly‐morphism was associated with male infertility in Chinese Han population .

Objective To investigate the techniques and signifcations of endoscopic forehead lift when it was done alone or in combination with conventional facelifting.Methods For the patients with forehead transverse wrinkle,vertical frown line and eyebrow ptosis,resection of partial frontalis muscle,procerus muscle and eorrugator muscle was performed.If the patients had obvious excessive and drooping skin in middle face and lower face together with the wrinkles that were mentioned above,endoscopic forehead lift in combination with conventional facelifting was done at the mean time.The excessive skin was tailored and removed,SMAS was complicated or resected and sutured.Results 104 patients were subjected to the endoscopic forehead lift,in which 20 cases underwent it alone,and another 84 cases were treated in combination with the conventional facelifting.Of all cases,104 patients presented satisfactory results of forehead.They showed the eliminating of transverse wrinkle of forehead,glabellas vertical fold and lifting of eyebrow ptosis.Complications were less and minimal,including minimal local depression,retrodisplacement of hairline of forehead,recurrence of wrinkle and numb of forehead.No injuring of temporal branch of facial nerve occurred in this group.The cases that underwent endoscopic forehead lift in combination with conventional faeelift showed the coordinate and consistence of rejuvenation from forehead to middle face and lower face.Conclusions Endoscopic forehead lift is a minimally invasive technique,and it presents more satisfactory results with less severe complications.Its operative principle is reasonable,procedure is safe and reliable,and therefore it represents the tendency of developing of plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery.If patients have obvious excessive and drooping skin in middle face and lower face,endoscopic forehead lift is suggested in combination with the conventional facelift,and this resolution shows more balanced and coordinate cosmetic correction of whole face.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of anticipatory grief among family caregivers of terminal-stage cancer patients,and provide a reference for formulating intervention programs for anticipatory grief.Methods:An interview outline was designed,and the descriptive qualitative research method was used.The aim was to select 11 family narrative caregivers of patients in the Department of Medical Oncology,Nanfang Hospital,Southern Medical University for semi-structured in-depth interviews.Based on the social ecology model,using the narrative theory of life and health as the framework,the content analysis method was adopted to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 themes and 12 sub-themes were extracted,including the influencing factors at the individual level(narrative literacy,cognitive level towards death,and sense of self-worth),the influencing factors at the interpersonal level(patient's disease situation,education level,economic status,family narrative connection,peer narrative connection,and narrative connection between doctors and family members),and the influencing factors at the cultural policy level(social culture,physical environment of the ward,and policy level).Conclusion:Anticipatory grief was affected by multiple factors,and multi-dimensional narrative connection should be constructed from individual,interpersonal,family,social,and other levels to prevent caregivers from falling into a narrative lock of single caregiver identity,alleviate the impact of anticipatory grief on caregivers,and improve their quality of life.

Objective:To observe the effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)ultrasound drug permeation electrotherapy device on the inflammatory response of rats with cerebral ischemia, and to provide an experimental basis for the clinical application of TCM ultrasound drug permeation electrotherapy device in the treatment of cerebral ischemia.Methods:A total of 72 SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group (12 rats) and modeling group (60 rats). The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was prepared by thread embolism in the model group. The rats were divided into model group, Chinese medicine tablet group, blank tablet + TCM ultrasound drug permeation electrotherapy group (hereinafter referred to as "blank tablet + electrotherapy group"), Chinese medicine tablet + TCM ultrasound drug permeation electrotherapy group (hereinafter referred to as "Chinese medicine tablet + electrotherapy group") and butylphthalide group according to the random number table method, with 12 rats in each group. The corresponding treatment was given continuously for 7 days. The neurological function was scored using Longa method evaluation criteria; TTC staining was used to observe the infarct volume and calculate the percentage of infarct volume; HE staining was used to observe the cell morphology of cortical area in each group of rats; ELISA was used to detect the serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels in each group of rats; TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κBp65 protein expressions in hippocampal tissue of each group of rats on the infarct side were detected by Western blot method.Results:Compared with the model group, the neurological function scores of rats in the blank tablet + electrotherapy group, the herbal tablet + electrotherapy group, and the butylphthalein group significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the percentage of cerebral infarct volume significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the contents of serum TNF-α and IL-1β significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expressions of TLR4 (0.42±0.07, 0.31±0.07, 0.19±0.04 vs. 0.68±0.14), MyD88 (0.39±0.12, 0.30±0.07, 0.23±0.11 vs. 0.67±0.10), NF-κBp65 (0.32±0.03, 0.27±0.02, 0.17±0.03 vs. 0.57±0.12) protein in hippocampal tissue significantly decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The TCM ultrasound drug permeation electrotherapy device can inhibit TLR4, MyD88, NF-κBp65 protein expressions and reduce the release of serum inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β, thus exerting cerebral ischemic protective effects.

Objective:To investigate the differences and similarities of parameters associated with ane-mia of inflammation between patients with stage Ⅲ periodontitis and periodontally healthy volunteers,and to explore the influence of periodontal initial therapy on those indicators.Methods:Patients with stageⅢ periodontitis and periodontally healthy volunteers seeking periodontal treatment or prophylaxis at De-partment of Periodontology,Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from February 2020 to February 2023 were enrolled.Their demographic characteristics,periodontal parameters(including pro-bing depth,clinical attachment loss,bleeding index),and fasting blood were gathered before periodontal initial therapy.Three months after periodontal initial therapy,the periodontal parameters of the patients with stage Ⅲ periodontitis were re-evaluated and their fasting blood was collected again.Blood routine examinations(including white blood cells,red blood cells,hemoglobin,packed cell volume,mean cor-puscular volume of erythrocytes,and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration)were performed.And ferritin,hepcidin,erythropoietin(EPO)were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).All data analysis was done with SPSS 21.0,independent sample t test,paired t test,and analysis of co-variance were used for comparison between the groups.Results:A total of 25 patients with stage Ⅲperiodontitis and 25 periodontally healthy volunteers were included in this study.The patients with stageⅢ periodontitis were significantly older than those in periodontally healthy status[(36.72±7.64)years vs.(31.44±7.52)years,P=0.017].The patients with stage Ⅲ periodontitis showed lower serum he-moglobin[(134.92±12.71)g/L vs.(146.52±12.51)g/L,P=0.002]and higher serum ferritin[(225.08±103.36)μg/L vs.(155.19±115.38)μg/L,P=0.029],EPO[(41.28±12.58)IU/L vs.(28.38±10.52)IU/L,P＜0.001],and hepcidin[(48.03±34.44)μg/L vs.(27.42±15.00)μg/L,P=0.009]compared with periodontally healthy volunteers.After adjusting the age with the co-variance analysis,these parameters(hemoglobin,ferritin,EPO,and hepcidin)showed the same trends as independent-sample t test with statistical significance.Three months after periodontal initial therapy,all the periodontal parameters showed statistically significant improvement.The serum hemoglobin raised[(146.05±15.48)g/L vs.(133.77±13.15)g/L,P＜0.001],while the serum ferritin[(128.52± 90.95)μg/Lvs.(221.22±102.15)μg/L,P＜0.001],EPO[(27.66±19.67)IU/L vs.(39.63± 12.48)IU/L,P=0.004],and hepcidin[(32.54±18.67)μg/L vs.(48.18±36.74)μg/L,P=0.033]decreased compared with baseline.Conclusion:Tendency of iron metabolism disorder and ane-mia of inflammation was observed in patients with stage Ⅲ periodontitis,which can be attenuated by periodontal initial therapy.
