Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity of silica nanoparticles on vascular endothelial cells, and to clarify its action mechanism.Methods The 60 nm silica nanoparticle was selected and the invitro cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)were used as cell model.The HUVECs were divided into control and silica nanoparticle exposure groups with concentrations of 12.5,25.0,and 100.00 mg·L-1 .MTT assay was used for the determination of cell viability,lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)release assay for membrane integrity,flow cytometry (FCM)for intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)content,and real-time PCR assay for intracellular NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2 ), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1 ), superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2 ) and glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC)mRNA levels.Results The MTT results showed that the cell viabilities in each silica nnaoparticle exposure group were decreased compared with control group in a dose-dependent manner. Upon the silica nanoparticle exposure for 12 h,the cell viability was declined significantly only in 100 mg·L-1 exposure group compared with control group (P<0.05).When exposured for 24 h,the cell viabilities in 25.0, 50.0,and 100.0 mg·L-1 exposure groups were declined significantly compared with control group (P<0.05). Under the exposure to silica nanoparticle with the same dose, the cell viabilities were decreased along with the elongation of exposure time.LDH assay and FCM showed that except for that in 12.5 mg·L-1 exposure group, both the LDH activities in media and intracellular ROS levels in other exposure groups were increased compared with control group (P<0.05 ). The results of real-time fluorescence PCR showed that the mRNA levels of Nrf2, HO-1,SOD2 and GCLC in 100 mg·L-1 silica nanoparticle exposure group were increased significantly compared with control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Silica nanoparticles have toxicity to vascular endothelial cells,which includes reducing cell viability,membrane integrity destruction,induction of ROS generation,and tranSCriptional regulation of redox-related factors. Oxidative damage is one of the mechanisms of vascular endothelial toxicity mediated by silica nanoparticles.

Objective To evaluate the effect of different doses of Astragalus membranaceus on the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor ( bFGF) in serum and lung tissues of rats with pulmonary embolism. Methods Seventy-six clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8-9 weeks, weighing 140-170 g, were assigned to control group ( group C, n=11) and experimental group ( group E, n=65) by a random number table method. The rats with pulmonary em-bolism in group E were further divided into 4 subgroups using a random number table method: pulmonary embolism group (group P), low-dose Astragalus membranaceus group (group H1), median-dose Astraga-lus membranaceus group ( group H2 ) and high-dose Astragalus membranaceus group ( group H3 ) . The model of pulmonary embolism was established by injecting autologous blood clots into the right jugular vein. At 1 h and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 days after successful establishment of the model, Astragalus membrana-ceus 20, 40 and 60 g∕kg were injected intraperitoneally in H1-3 groups, respectively, while the equal vol-ume of normal saline was given instead in group P. The chest was opened after anesthesia on day 7, and blood samples were collected from cardiac chambers for determination of concentrations of serum VEGF and bFGF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The pulmonary specimens were obtained from the upper lobe of right lungs for determination of the expression of VEGF and bFGF mRNA ( using real-time polymerase chain reaction) . Results Compared with group C, the concentrations of serum VEGF and bFGF were sig-nificantly increased, and the expression of VEGF and bFGF mRNA in lung tissues was up-regulated in the other four groups (P<0. 05). Compared with group P, the serum bFGF concentration was significantly in-creased, and the expression of VEGF and bFGF mRNA in lung tissues was up-regulated in H1-3 groups ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group H1, the serum bFGF concentration was significantly increased, the ex-pression of VEGF mRNA and bFGF mRNA in lung tissues was up-regulated in H2 and H3 groups ( P<0. 05) . Compared with group H2, the expression of VEGF and bFGF mRNA in lung tissues was significant-ly up-regulated in group H3 ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion Astragalus membranaceus can up-regulate the ex-pression of VEGF and bFGF in lung tissues in a dose-dependent manner, thus improving pulmonary embol-ism in rats.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of pregnant women with leukemia, the condition of leukemia and the influence of clinical treatment on maternal and infant outcomes, and to explore the best clinical management method of leukemia in pregnancy.Methods:Among 79 890 pregnant and lying-in women in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2004 to December 2015, 22 cases (0.028%) were with leukemia, including 5 cases of leukemia diagnosed before pregnancy [all acute myeloid leukemia (AML)] and 17 cases of leukemia diagnosed for the first time after pregnancy [9 cases of AML, 5 cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 2 cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and 1 case of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)]. According to the gestational weeks of admission and confirmed gestational weeks of leukemia, the 22 patients were divided into early-stage group (initial gestational week < 14 weeks, 5 cases), mid-stage group (newly diagnosed gestational week ≥ 14 weeks and < 28 weeks, 11 cases), and late-stage group (newly diagnosed gestational week ≥ 28 weeks, 6 cases, including 2 cases with previous diagnosis of leukemia). The final pregnancy outcomes included abortion, induced labor, premature delivery, full-term delivery and maternal and infant death. The effects of clinical treatment and obstetric treatment of leukemia on the final maternal and infant outcomes, follow-up to understand the progress of primary disease and fertility of pregnant women, and the impact of leukemia and pregnancy treatment on long-term health status of infants were analyzed.Results:Among 22 patients with leukemia in pregnancy, 14 cases (63.6%) (5 cases in early-stage group and 9 cases in mid-stage group) choosed to give up pregnancy, including 4 cases of early pregnancy abortion and 10 cases of mid pregnancy induced abortion; 12 cases of 14 cases were induced abortion or induced labor after leukemia remission induced by advanced chemotherapy. The remaining 8 patients (2 cases in mid-stage group and 6 cases in late-stage group) continued pregnancy and gave birth to live infants, of which 3 cases received chemotherapy before delivery.Conclusions:Gestational leukemia is a high-risk obstetric case, but it is still expected to achieve good pregnancy outcome under good management and treatment. On the basis of following the principles of leukemia treatment, according to the gestational weeks and patients' wishes, the individualized clinical management plan is formulated, and the accurate chemotherapy timing is conducive to the prognosis of mother and infant.

Objective To investigate the effects of early essential newborn care (EENC) on body temperature and short-term clinical outcomes of vaginally born preterm infants at 1 h after birth. Methods This was a prospective case-control study. A total of 97 premature infants, who were born vaginally between 34-37 weeks in the Obstetrics Department of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 1 to December 31, 2017 and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit were enrolled as intervention group. Another 103 premature infants, who were born vaginally in the Obstetrics Department of Yinchuan Maternal and Child Health Hospital at the same period were enrolled as control group. EENC-based treatment and management were implemented to infants in the intervention group, such as thorough drying immediately, 30 min skin-to-skin contact immediately and delayed cord clamping after birth, etc., while those in the control group were managed based on routine protocol. Chi-square test was used to compare the incidence of hypothermia, hypoglycemia and hypoxemia between the two groups at 1 h after birth. The general condition and the time of colostrum secretion were compared by two independent sample t-test. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of hypothermia. Results At last, 96 participants in the intervention group and 102 in the control group were analyzed. Compared with the control group, the intervention group showed lower incidence of hypothermia [17.7% (17/96) vs 37.3% (38/102), χ2=9.418, P=0.002], hypoglycemia [9.4% (9/96) vs 19.6% (20/102), χ2=4.142, P=0.042] and hypoxemia [14.6% (14/96) vs 28.4% (29/102), χ2=5.578, P=0.018] at 1 h after birth and earlier colostrum secretion [(18.3±2.4) vs (31.4±3.5) min, t=32.463, P<0.001]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that birth weight <2 500 g ( OR=2.483, 95% CI : 1.731-3.234, P=0.025), gestational age<36 weeks (OR=1.899, 95%CI : 1.325-2.472, P=0.012), room temperature between 22-24℃in the delivery ward (OR=2.465, 95% CI: 1.279-4.754, P=0.007), no-skin contact (OR=2.958, 95%CI: 1.435-4.481, P=0.023) and rapid and simple drying ( OR=2.467, 95% CI : 1.285-4.736, P=0.006) were the risk factors for hypothermia in premature infants. Conclusions EENC can reduce the incidence of hypothermia, hypoglycemia and hypoxemia in premature infants at 1 h after birth and may be helpful for early colostrum secretion.
