1-(2,6-Dimethylphenoxy)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamino) propane hydrochloride(DDPH) caused parallel rightward shifts of the phenylephrine(Phe) concentration-contractile response curves and did not suppress the maximal contractile response to Phe (pA2=7.24) in isolated rabbit urinary bladder smooth muscle. DDPH decreased the parameters of cystometry in urethane-anesthetized rats. Thirty minutes after DDPH (25 and 50 mg*kg-1 ig) administration, bladder capacity, voiding pressure, voiding threshold pressure were significantly decreased. With the observation of light-microscope and electron-microscope technique, DDPH (25 and 50 mg*kg-1*d-1 ig for 4 weeks) also inhibited the development of testosterone propionate-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats. The results indicate that DDPH may inhibit benign prostatic hyperplasia and improve the urinary flow.

Objective To assess the condition of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) under resting conditions and physiological exercise in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients.Methods A total of 60 patients with HCM and left ventri cular outflow tract gradient (LVOTG) ＜ 50 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) at rest were enrolled consecutively,and LVOTG at rest and exercise were measured by echocardiography.Of 51 patients with gradients ＜ 30 mm Hg at rest,26 were latent LVOTO with exercise peak value LVOTG ≥ 30 mm Hg,25 were non LVOTO with exercise peak value LVOTG ＜ 30 mm Hg,and 9 were resting obstruction with LVOTG 30-49 mm Hg.The morphological characteristics of different types of obstruction were analyzed.Results Patients with latent LVOTO were more likely to have SAM(73.1％ vs 8.0％),narrow of LVOT(46.2％ vs 4.0％),higher resting gradients [(16.9 ±7.2) mm Hg vs (7.1 ± 4.3) mm Hg] and mitral regurgitation grade at rest than patients with non-obstructive (all P values ＜ 0.05).The distribution of septal hypertrophy were different in the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed independent predictors of latent LVOTO were SAM (OR 6.431,95 ％ CI 2.323-291.112,P =0.002) at rest and distribution of septal hypertrophy (OR 0.011,95％ CI 0.001-0.179,P =0.008).Conclusions Approximately half of patients with nonobstructive HCM at rest have latent LVOTO.SAM and distribution of septal hypertrophy may be useful to identify patients with latent obstruction.

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of early intervention and delayed intervention therapy on elderly patients and younger patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. Methods The patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome were randomly divided into early intervention group (coronary angiography taken within 24 hours after grouping) and delayed intervention group ( coronary angiography taken after 36 hours after grouping). The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint of death, myocardial infarction and stroke during 180 days follow-up. Results A total of 815 patients were enrolled, including 198 elderly patients aged 75 years and above, and 617 younger patients aged below 75 years. The elderly patients had a greater incidence of the primary endpoint than that of younger patients ( P = 0. 00). The primary endpoint of early intervention group were obviously lower than that of delayed intervention group of younger patients ( P = 0. 01 ). There was no significant difference in primary endpoint incidence of early intervention group and delayed intervention group of the elderly patients (P =0. 39). Conclusions The elderly patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome who underwent intervention had greater incidence of death and myocardial infarction. Early intervention reduced the rate of myocardial infarction for the younger patients. There was no significant difference in primary endpoint incidence between early intervention and delayed intervention among elderly patients.

Objective To determine gender differences in baseline characteristics and intervention treatment in relation to prognosis in patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS). Methods A total of 814 patients (545 men and 269 women) with NSTEACS were randomized to early intervention (coronary angiography ＜ 24 hours after randomization ) or delayed intervention (coronary angiography＞36 hours after randomization). The primary outcome was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke at 6 months. Results Women were older and more frequently had hypertension, diabtetes, and history of coronary artery disease (CAD) or chronic angina (P＜0.05 for all).Women less were smokers and had elevations in cardiac marker(P ＜ 0. 05 for both). Women who underwent angiography had no significant lesions more often, but the left main stem and/or three-vessel diseases were similar with men. In adjusted multiple logistic regression analysis,the previous myocardial infarction and severe coronary artery disease were independently associated with the risk of primary endpoint in women. On multivariate analysis for men, severe coronary artery disease delayed intervention strategy and at least 3 risk factors for CAD were independently associated with the risk of primary endpoint. Conclusions In NSTEACS patients, different gender had the different prognostic predictor. Severe coronary diseases were as an independent predictor for both male and female patients. An early intervention strategy resulted in a beneficial effect in men which was not seen in women.

Objective:To investigate electrocardiogram (ECG) characteristics and related factors of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) complicated by depressive disorder.Methods:The clinical data of 243 patients with GDM who received treatment at Peking University Third Hospital from September 2021 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the scoring results of the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), these patients were divided into an observation group (GDM + depressive disorder, n = 51) and a control group (GDM alone, n = 192). The χ2 test was used to analyze the relationship between GDM complicated by depressive disorder and ECG diagnosis results. Additionally, the t-test was used to compare ECG indicators between the two groups. Results:Compared with the control group, patients in the observation group had a higher incidence of abnormal ECG indicators, including bradycardia ( χ2 = 4.68, P = 0.030), premature contraction ( χ2 = 10.78, P = 0.001), and atrioventricular block ( χ2 = 15.04, P < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences in the incidences of tachycardia, bundle branch block, or ST-T changes between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group exhibited significantly increased heart rate [(73.43 ± 8.24) beats/min vs. (67.22 ± 5.08) beats/min], maximum QT interval [(419.09 ± 36.00) ms vs. (351.95 ± 32.07) ms], minimum QT interval [(363.31 ± 30.78) ms vs. (316.52 ± 29.10) ms], and QT dispersion [(55.78 ± 17.87) ms vs. (35.42 ± 13.18) ms, t = -5.13, -12.95, -10.08, -7.60, all P < 0.001]. Conclusion:Among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, those with depressive disorder have an increased risk of exhibiting abnormal electrocardiogram patterns compared with those without depressive disorder.

Objective To compare the effect of epidural anesthesia combined with general anesthesia and general anesthesia in upper abdominal and thoracic tumor surgery anesthesia. Methods A total of 80 cases of ASAⅠ-IIelective surgery with the abdomen and chest patients were selected from July 2013 to December 2014 in our hospital, and divided into two groups, each of 40 cases, group A was treated with epidural block joint general anesthesia, group B was treated with general anesthesia. The amount of the anesthesia drug, anesthesia recovery and hemodynamic changes at different times of two groups were compared. Results Propofol, fentanyl and cis-atracurium dosage of group A were significantly reduced than group B, spontaneous breathing surgery recovery time, extubation time and fully awake time were significantly shorter, the occurrence of emergence agitation pain was significantly lower, the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). HR in group B on T2 was significantly faster than group A, HR, SBP, DBP on T3 and T4 were significantly higher than that in group A, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compare with general anesthesia, anesthesia of intraoperative hemodynamic stability, can suppress the stress response to surgery, recovery after extubation time is shorter than the general anesthesia group, perioperative application is more security and stability.

OBJECTIVETo examine the effect of parents' occupational and life exposure during six months before pregnancy on executive function of preschool children.

METHODSPregnant women involved in the study came from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study,a part of the China-Anhui Birth Cohort Study. Between October 2008 and October 2010, pregnant women who accepted pregnancy care in four municipal medical and health institutions in Ma'anshan city were recruited as study objects. A total of 5,084 pregnant women and 4,669 singleton live births entered in this cohort. Between April 2014 and April 2015, a total of 3,803 pre-school children were followed up. Finally, except 32 preschool children did not have EF evaluation result, there were 3,771 children included in this study. By using self-designed " Maternal health handbook", we researched parents' general demographic characteristics, and life and occupational exposure during six months before pregnancy. To research preschool children's executive function, we used the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P). Univariate and multivariate statistical method was used to analyze the association of parents' life and occupational exposure during six months before pregnancy and preschool children's EF.

RESULTS3,771 preschool children's detected rate of inhibitory self-control index (ISCI), flexibility index (FI), emergent metacognition index (EMI) and global executive composite (GEC) dysplasia were 4.8% (182), 2.3% (88), 16.5% (623) and 8.6% (324) respectively. During six months before pregnancy, children whose parents were lived in a noise environment (OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.36-2.54), whose maternal were exposed to pesticides were the risk of ISCI dysplasia(OR=3.60, 95% CI: 1.45-8.95). During six months before pregnancy, children whose maternal were exposed to pesticides (OR=6.72, 95% CI: 2.50-18.07) and whose father were exposed to occupational lead (OR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.25-3.54) were the risk of FI dysplasia. During six months before pregnancy, children whose parents were lived in a noise environment (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.18-1.71) and whose father were exposed to occupational lead (OR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.02-1.65) were the risk of EMI dysplasia. During six months before pregnancy, children whose parents were lived in a noise environment (OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.24-2.01) and whose maternal were exposed to pesticides (OR=2.39, 95% CI: 1.02-5.58) were the risk of GEC dysplasia.

CONCLUSIONThe development of executive function is worse among preschool children whose parents live in noise environment, mother exposed to pesticides, and father exposed to occupational lead during six months before pregnancy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the related influencing factors of preschool children's emotional and behavioral problems in early life and explore the associations between the symptoms of depression or anxiety during pregnancy and emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children.

METHODSBased on the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study of the China-Anhui Birth Cohort Study (C-ABCS), women were recruited at their first clinical visit between October 2008 and October 2010 in four municipal medical and health institutions of Ma'anshan City, a total of 5 084 pregnant women and 4 669 singletons live births were included in the birth cohort. Women completed measures of depressive (Self-Rating Anxiety scale) and anxious (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression) symptoms in pregnancy. By the age of 3-6 follow-up, 3 653 children were followed with completed information between April 2014 and April 2015, strengths and difficulties questionnaires were used to assessed offspring emotional and behavioral problems. Logistics regression was used to investigate the relationship between the symptoms of depression or anxiety during pregnancy and emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children.

RESULTSThe detected rates of emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity and peer problems in preschool children were 6.3% (229/3 653), 7.5% (274/3 653), 7.6% (278/3 653) and 2.8% (103/3 653), while 7.6% (277/3 653) for total difficulties, 10.9%(398/3 653) for prosocial behavior and 27.4%(981/3 557) for impact respectively. Prevalence of anxiety and depression in the first trimester was 2.7%(100/3 653) and 4.7%(171/3 653) respectively, and in the second trimester was 2.0%(66/3 375) and 3.6%(122/3 375) respectively. After we controlled the confoundings of gestation age, place of residence, family income, maternal education, paternal education, premature birth and folic acid supplement before pregnancy, multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of children's emotional symptoms in maternal anxiety in both first-trimester and second-trimester group was higher than the group of no depression and anxiety symptoms, and OR(95%CI) was 5.90(2.00-17.48). Compared with whose mother no depression in both first-trimester and second-trimester, the risk of children's emotional symptoms in maternal depression in both first-trimester and second-trimester group was higher, and OR(95% CI) was 3.07 (1.30-7.28). And the risk of children's total difficulties of maternal anxiety in second-trimester was 2.27 (95%CI: 1.10-4.71) times of no anxiety in second-trimester. While the risk of children's total difficulties of maternal depression in second-trimester was 2.20 (95%CI: 1.24-3.93) times of no depression in second-trimester. Maternal emotional symptoms were not significant associations with conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems and prosocial behaviors (P> 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThere was a negative impact of maternal anxiety and depression symptoms during pregnancy on emotional and behavioral problems in preschool children. These findings highlight the need for additional clinical and research attention to both maternal depression and anxiety in pregnancy, which may be helpful to reduce the incidence of children's emotional and behavioral problems and act as an important measure in prevention.

OBJECTIVETo examine the effect of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain (GWG) with childhood overweight and adiposity, and to explore possible early life risk factors for obesity in preschool children.

METHODSBasic information of pregnant women and gestation period came from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study, a part of the China-Anhui Birth Cohort Study (C-ABCS). Pregnant women in routine health care from four municipal medical and health institutions were enrolled voluntarily during October 2008 and October 2010 in Ma'anshan City. A total of 5 084 pregnant women and 4 669 singleton live births were included in this study. Between April 2014 and April 2015, 3 797 children were followed up. Children whose BMI were >85th percentiles for age and genders of World Health Organization (WHO) reference were considered as overweight, and >95th percentiles for age and genders cut-off values were considered as obesity (pathological and secondary causes of obesity were excluded). Gestational weight gain was defined according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines. Univariate and binary regression model analysis was used to examine the effect of pre-pregnancy BMI and GWG with childhood overweight and adiposity.

RESULTSOf the 3 797 pregnant women, the prevalence of underweight, normal weight, overweight and obesity were respectively 22.6% (n=858), 70.3% (n=2 671), 6.2% (n=234) and 0.9% (n=34). There were 3 563 pregnant women who were obtained gestational weight gain data, the prevalence of inadequate GWG, appropriate GWG, excessive GWG were respectively 12.4% (n=443), 25.9% (n=922) and 61.7% (n=2 198). The prevalence of overweight and obesity were 11.5% (n=437) and 10.8% (n= 411) in preschool children, respectively. After adjusting confounding factors including age at delivery, genders of children, children age, birth weight, breastfeeding and household economic status, binary logistic regression analysis showed that pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity(OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.53-2.65), excessive GWG(OR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.35-2.03) were risk factors for overweight and obesity, and pre-pregnancy underweight was protective factor for childhood overweight and obesity (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.39-0.62). Joint associations of pre-pregnancy BMI and inappropriate GWG were also noticed in the study: compared to only pre-pregnancy higher BMI or excessive GWG or indequate GWG, combination of high pre-pregnancy BMI and excessive GWG or high pre-pregnancy BMI and inadequate GWG, adverse effects on childhood overweight and obesity were much higher,OR (95%CI) values were 2.90(1.97-4.28), 3.17(1.44-6.97) respectively.

CONCLUSIONBoth high pre-pregnancy BMI and inappropriate GWG are associated with greater offspring BMI. Pregnant women should achieve appropriate weight gain and help prevent obesity in their children.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the associations between pregnancy-related anxiety and the prevalence of subthreshold autism trait (SAT) in preschool children.

METHODSBaseline data came from the Ma'anshan Birth Cohort Study, a part of the China-Anhui Birth Cohort Study (C-ABCS). All the participants were enrolled among pregnant women who received prenatal health care in 4 municipal medical centers during Oct. 2008 to Oct. 2010. A total of 5 084 pregnant women were recruited at the beginning and 4 669 singleton live births were included until childbirth. The situation about pregnancy-specific anxiety during trimester and third trimester of women were evaluated by Pregnancy-specific Anxiety Questionnaire (PAQ). Between April 2014 and April 2015, the cohort was followed up again, and the Clancy Autism Behavior Scale (CABRS) filled out by parents was used for telling the SAT children from the healthy children among 3 663 preschool children. Univariate and binary regression model was used to estimate associations between the pregnancy-related anxiety during trimester and third trimester and the subthreshold autism trait in children.

RESULTSDuring the pregnancy, the detected rates of women with pregnancy-specific anxiety in trimester and the third trimester were 25.5%(935/3 663), 13.9%(501/3 592) respectively, and the detected rate of maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety in both periods was 7.7%(278/3 592). There were 290 positive children with SAT and the detection rate was 7.9%. After controlling possible confounding factors including children's genders, place of residence, supplement folic acid during pregnancy, preterm birth, exposure to second-hand smoke during pregnancy, the father (mother) cultural levels, the father (mother) nature of work and family income, the results of multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety in trimester was the risk factor for SAT in preschool children (OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.11-2.04), and there was no association between maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety in the third trimester and SAT in preschool children (OR=1.36, 95% CI: 0.82-2.22). Compared with the single function of maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety in trimester or the third trimester for SAT in preschool children, maternal pregnancy-specific anxiety in both periods presented a joint action that increasing the risk for SAT (OR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.36-2.98).

CONCLUSIONMaternal pregnancy-related anxiety was a risk factor for subthreshold autism trait in preschooler children. Pregnant women should try to keep a good mental state to create a good environment for fetal growth.
