Objective:
To construct a prediction model for preterm birth risk among pregnant women, so as to provide the reference for screening high-risk population and preventing preterm birth.
Methods:
Pregnant women who received antenatal examination and delivered at the Women's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from January 1 to December 31, 2019 were selected as the study subjects, among them, 80% were included in the modeling group, and 20% were included in the validation group. Demographic and clinical information were collected. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the predictive factors of preterm birth risk in the modeling group, and a preterm birth risk prediction model was established based on the OR values of predictive factors. The model was validated with the data from the validation group. The Youden index was used to determine the critical score for predicting preterm birth risk. The prediction performance of the model was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 15 197 pregnant women were surveyed, including 12 131 pregnant women in the observation group and 3 066 pregnant women in the validation group. There was no statistically significant difference in age, education level and gravidity between the two groups of pregnant women (all P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified the number of pregnancies, education level, place of residence, hypertension, diabetes, history of preterm birth, twin-pregnancy, placenta praevia, and gestational hypertension as risk prediction factors for preterm birth risk among pregnant women. The risk score system for preterm birth was established as follows: >2 pregnancies (2 points), high school education or below (4 points), college degree or above (-4 points), rural residence (5 points), hypertension (7 points), diabetes (11 points), history of preterm birth (11 points), twin-pregnancy (28 points), placenta previa (19 points), and gestational hypertension (12 points). The total score of the preterm birth risk scoring system ranged from -4 to 99 points. When the critical score was 8 points, the Youden index was the highest at 0.480, with an area under the ROC curve of 0.749 (95%CI: 0.732-0.767), a sensitivity of 0.610, and a specificity of 0.886, indicating good prediction performance of the model.
Conclusion
The preterm birth risk prediction model established in this study based on demographic and clinical characteristics of pregnant women can effectively predict the risk of preterm birth among pregnant women.

A new method for the determination of peptide antibiotics in sediment from aquaculture environment by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed. The target analytes in sediments were ultrasonically extracted twice with citrate buffer solution and methol mixture (3∶ 4, V/ V), followed by complexation with 0. 5 g of Na2 EDTA, purification with 5 mL of methyl isobutyl ketone, and clean-up with HLB-SPE column. The analytes were separated on a MGII C18 column by gradient elution with 0. 1% formaic acid-0. 1% formaic acid acetonitrile as mobile phase, detected in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with electrospray ionization (ESI) under positive ion mode, and quantified by external standard method. The calibration curves were linear (R2 >0. 999) over a concentration range of 10 -10000μg / L for colistin and bacitracin and 4-4000 μg / L for virginiamycin M1 . The limits of detection (S / N = 3) were 5 μg / kg for colistin and bacitracin and 2 μg / kg for virginiamycin M1 . The limits of quantification (S / N=10) was 10 μg / kg for colistin and bacitracin and 4 μg / kg for virginiamycin M1 . At three spiked levels, the recoveries ranged from 79. 7% to 91. 6% (RSD=1. 9% -10. 8% ), showing high sensitivity, good reproducibility and wide applicability.

Objective:To explore the effects of long non-coding RNA SATB2-AS1 in the proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells as an endogenous competitive RNA to regulate miR-373-5p/BTG3 axis.Methods:qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of LncRNA SATB2-AS1, miR-373-5p and BTG3 in paracancerous tissue and cancerous tissue of patients with CC. The interaction between LncRNA SATB2/miR-373-5p/BTG3 was then predicted and verified. The expression of SATB2-AS1 and miR-373-5p in cells was intervened, subsequently the CC cells were divided into different groups. The proliferation activity of cells in each group was detected by MTT, and the apoptosis of cells in each group was detected by flow cytometry.Results:qRT-PCR showed that the expression of SATB2-AS1 and BTG3 in cancer tissue and CC cells was significantly decreased, while the expression of miR-373-5p was significantly increased in cancer tissue and CC cells compared with paracancerous tissue and normal cervical cells.The targeting relationship between SATB2-AS1 and miR-373-5p was confirmed. Compared with NC group, overexpression of SATB2-AS1 inhibited cell proliferation butinduced apoptosis. Overexpression of miR-373-5p promoted cell proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, but this effect was partially saved by SATB2-AS1.Conclusion:Up-regulation of LncRNA SATB2-AS1 expression regulated the miR-373-5p/BTG3 axis and participated in the progression of cervical cancer, subsequently inhibited cancer cell proliferation but induced apoptosis.

Objective:To explore the curative effect of Buyang Huanwu Decoction combined with suspension exercise training for the patients with cerebral infarction combined and lower limb hemiplegia.Methods:According to random number table method, 94 patients with cerebral infarction and lower limb hemiplegia meeting the inclusion criteria were divided into the control group and the observation group between January 2017 and February 2021, 47 in each group. The control group was treated with suspension exercise training, while observation group was additionally treated with Buyang Huanwu Decoction on the basis of the control group treatment. All were treated for 6 weeks and then followed up for 3 months. Before and after treatment, the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes scores were recorded. The severity of nerve function injury was evaluated by National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The lower limb function was evaluated by Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA). The balance function was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale (BBS). The activities of daily life were assessed by Barthel Index (BI). The whole blood high shear viscosity, plasma viscosity and hematocrit were detected by full-automatic hemorheology analyzer. The levels of plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected by full-automatic analyzer. All were followed up for 3 months. The prognosis of patients was assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS). The adverse reactions during treatment were recorded.Results:After treatment, scores of TCM syndromes and NIHSS in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group ( t=5.35, 4.54, P<0.01), while scores of FMA, BBS and BI were significantly higher than those in control group ( t=3.40, 3.10, 7.57, P<0.01). The whole blood high-shear viscosity, plasma viscosity and hematocrit in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group ( t=2.94, 3.81, 4.23, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and levels of TC, TG and LDL-C were significantly lower than those in control group ( t=4.10, 4.27, 3.61, P<0.01). The differences in good prognosis rate between observation group and control group were statistically significant [74.47% (35/47) vs. 51.06% (24/47); χ2=5.51, P=0.019]. Conclusion:The Buyang Huanwu Decoction combined with suspension exercise training can relieve clinical symptoms, recover lower limb function, improve activities of daily life and prognosis in cerebral infarction combined with lower limb hemiplegia.

Objective:To explore the relationship between personality characteristics, social psychology and satisfactory rate in people undergoing facial cosmetic surgery.Methods:People undergoing facial cosmetic surgery who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from February 2021 to February 2022 were seclected. They were asked to fill out the Big Five Inventory (abbreviated version), social psychological factors questionnaire before surgery, and the surgical satisfaction scale 2 weeks after surgery. According to the results of surgical satisfaction, they were divided into satisfied group and dissatisfied group. The distribution of personality characteristics and social psychological factors was analyzed, univariate analysis and logistic multiple regression were used to analyze the personality characteristics and social psychological factors affecting the satisfaction result.Results:There were 217 cases, including 9 males and 208 females, aged 18-45 years old with an average age of 26 years old. According to the operation satisfaction survey, 174 cases were satisfied and 43 cases were dissatisfied. Among the personality characteristics of 217 cases, low agreeableness, high responsibility, high extraversion, low openness, and high neuroticism accounted for the majority; there were statistically significant differences in agreeableness, extraversion, openness, and neuroticism between the satisfied group and the dissatisfied group( P<0.05); but in the comparison of responsibility, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Among the psychosocial factors of 217 cases, female, aged 18-28 years, with a bachelor’s degree or above, a vocational student or employee, urban registered residence, with a medium income, with a history of plastic surgery, following the doctor’s advice, moderate expectation, surgery suggestion with family members account for the majority; the results of univariate analysis show that the satisfied group and the dissatisfied group were compared in terms of age, education level, monthly income, surgical cost, previous plastic surgery history, and expected effect, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05); however, there was no statistically significant difference in gender, marital status, occupation, nature of household registration, choice of surgery, surgery recommended by family members, and consultation in multiple hospitals ( P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that low agreeableness, low extraversion, high neuroticism, low age, high education level, and high expectation were independent risk factors affecting the surgical satisfaction( P<0.05). Conclusion:Personality characteristics (low agreeableness, low extraversion, high neuroticism) and social psychological factors (low age, high education level, high expectation) are independent risk factors of surgical satisfaction in people undergoing facial cosmetic surgery.
