Objective: To explore senior high school students' knowledge, behavior and attitude toward sex and reproductive health issues. Methods: Questionnaire surveys were carried out in 6 high senior schools in Harbin, the questionnaire was provided by YRH (youth reproductive health) Project Team. Results: The after-school life of our sample included reading, watching movies and television, Internet exploring and playing with partners; 30%-40% of the people had never explore sex topic with their parents. Most of the students had appropriate understanding of adolescent knowledge, but they had less knowledge about reproductive health and contraception; About 30% of students had fallen in lover, only 4.3% of students had intercourse with their partners, and they were lack of awareness and ability to protect themselves from unsafe sex. 31.6% of students think that the main sources of knowledge of adolescent health education in schools. Conclusion: Students in senior high school have showed a more positive and stable attitudes toward life. They have some knowledge about YRH but not systematic.

BACKGROUND:As a main antigen of platelet, CD36 antigen is also known as platelet glycoprotein IV (GPIV). The mutation of CD36 gene may result in deficiency of the antigen.
OBJECTIVE:To identify a novel CD36 alele.
METHODS: DNA was isolated from peripheral blood sample, and 12 coding regions of CD36 gene were amplified by PCR. Sequencing-based typing was used to analyze the sequence of the target regions. The derived sequences were aligned with the standard sequence of NG_008192 in GenBank to identify the novel alele.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: 1142 T>G mutation was detected in exon 12 of CD36 gene of the proband, and the other regions were consistent with the standard sequence. No data or report about 1142 T>G was found in GenBank or National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and thus it was reported to GenBank and received by number KM275213. 1142 T>G results in amino acid 381 Leu>Ser of the CD36 protein. There is a big difference in hydrophilia and polarity of the two amino acids. Also the 381 amino acid locates in highly conserved region. Thus it is speculated that 1142 T>G may reduce or vanish the activity of the protein.

Objective To investigate the changes of fatty acid oxidase in the placenta of preeclampsia cases with different clinical features, and the relationship with oxidative stress and inflammatory response. To study the correlation of serum free fatty acid (FFA) and triglycerides (TG) level in early second trimester with the molecular changes of the long-chain fatty acid oxidase in the third trimester. Methods This was prospective cohort study, in which cases with singleton pregnancies who archived in Haidian Maternal and Children′s Hospital, Beijing, from January 1st 2012 to May 31st, with regular prenatal care were included. Doppler ultrasound was used for screening for the presence of early diastolic notch of uterine artery at 22-24 weeks of gestation. All the 101 cases with the early diastolic notch of uterine artery were included as the notch group, and 377 cases without the early diastolic notch of uterine artery were included as the non-notch group. The perinatal outcomes and the incidence of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy of the two groups were observed. The serum level of FFA and TG was tested, and the mRNA and protein expression of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD), P47-phox subunit of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase α (p38MAPK-α) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were detected using real-time quantitative PCR and western blot. The relationship between serum level of FFA and TG and the mRNA and protein expression of LCHAD, NADPH P47-phox,p38MAPK-α and COX-2 of the placental tissue specimens were analyzed. Results (1) In the notch group, there were 9 cases of early-onset preeclampsia,15 cases of late-onset preeclampsia and 10 cases of gestational hypertension;and there were 8 cases of late-onset preeclampsia and 18 cases of gestational hypertension in the non-notch group. 15 cases with normal blood pressure in each group were randomly selected as the control group.(2)The serum level of TG of cases of early-onset preeclampsia, late-onset preeclampsia and gestational hypertension in the notch group were(2.0±0.8),(1.8±0.6)and (1.9±0.7)mmol/L, and that of FFA were(0.68±0.26),(0.52±0.10)and(0.52±0.17)mmol/L, respectively. The serum level of TG of cases of late-onset preeclampsia and gestational hypertension in the non-notch group were(1.6±0.6)and(1.4±0.4)mmol/L, and that of FFA were(0.49±0.11)and(0.48±0.05)mmol/L, respectively. The serum level of TG and FFA in the control group were(1.4±0.5)and(0.52±0.06)mmol/L, respectively. The TG level of the notch group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The FFA level of the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was higher than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).(3) The mRNA expression of LCHAD in the placenta of early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly lower than that of the late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and the control group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of NADPH P47-phox of the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group were significantly higher than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and the control group(P<0.01). The mRNA expression of p38MAPK-α of the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group were significantly higher than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and the control group (P<0.01). The mRNA expression of COX-2 of the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group were significantly higher than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and the control group (P<0.01).(4)The protein expression of LCHAD in the placenta of early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group and gestational hypertension in the notch group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01); and the protein expression of LCHAD in the placenta of early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly lower than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group (P<0.01). The protein expression of NADPH P47-phox in the placenta of early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly higher than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and control group (P<0.05). The protein expression of p38MAPK-α in the placenta of early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly higher than that of late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group and control group (P<0.01). The protein expression of COX-2 in the placenta of early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, gestational hypertension in the notch group, late-onset preeclampsia in the non-notch group, and gestational hypertension in the non-notch group, were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01).(5)The blood concentration of maternal FFA in the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly negatively correlated with the mRNA and protein expression of placental LCHAD (r=-0.810,-0.932,P<0.01). There was no correlation between maternal TG level and the mRNA and protein expression of placental LCHAD in each group(P> 0.05).(6)The mRNA expression of placental LCHAD in the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly negatively correlated with the mRNA expression of placental NADPH P47-phox and COX-2 (r=- 0.877,-0.762, P<0.05). The mRNA expression of placental LCHAD in the control group was significantly negatively correlated with the mRNA expression of placental COX-2 (r=- 0.565, P<0.01). The protein expression of placental LCHAD in the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group was significantly negatively correlated with the protein expression of NADPH P47-phox (r=- 0.818, P<0.01). The protein expression of placental LCHAD in the control group was significantly negatively correlated with the protein expression of COX-2 (r=- 0.502,P<0.01). Conclusions The placental mRNA and protein expression of long-chain fatty acid oxidation enzymes were different in different clinical features of preeclampsia, which were reduced more obviously in the early-onset preeclampsia in the notch group than that of the late-onset preeclampsia in the notch group, and were negatively correlated with the elevated serum FFA level, significantly enhanced oxidative stress and inflammatory response, but with no correlation with serum TG level.

Objective To analyze the heterogeneous variation of serum free fatty acid (FFA) and lipids during early second trimester in women with or without uterine artery notch in pre-eclampsia (PE).Methods This is a prospective cohort study of 4 000 women with singleton pregnancies registered in early pregnancy and in whom regular check-ups were performed in Haidian Maternal & Child Health Hospital.Blood specimens were collected at gestational age 14-18 weeks at the same time of screening for Down's syndrome.One hundred and one cases with early diastolic notch of the uterine artery were included in the N+ group,and 172 cases without notch but at high risk of PE were included in the N-group at 22-24 weeks.In addition,205 women who were selected randomly at a ratio of 1 ∶ 5,without notch or PE high-risk factors,were also included in the N group.Both groups were subgrouped according to the outcomes of pregnancy complications:early-onset PE group EPE,late-onset PE (LPE),gestational hypertension (GH) group,gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) group with normal blood pressure,and no complications (NC) group.The variation in FFA and other lipid metabolism indicators in the PE subgroups were compared and analyzed by two independent-sample t-test,one-factor analysis of variance,Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact) and Logistic regression.Results History of PE and pre-hypertension at first visit differed significantly between the N+ and N-groups [3.9％ (4/101) vs.0.8％ (3/377),x2=5.52,P＜0.05; pre-hypertension at first visit,42.2％ (43/101) vs.25.7％ (97/377),x2=10.91,P＜0.05].In the N+ group,23.8％ (n=24) of women had PE,of which 37.5％ (n=8) were early onset.In the N group,2.1％ (n=8) had PE,and all were late onset.The incidence of PE differed significantly between the N+ and N-groups (x2=59.72,P＜0.05).In the N+ group,FFA gradually decreased among the ePE,IPE,GH and NC groups [(0.68±0.27),(0.58±0.21),(0.57±0.21) and (0.49±0.19) mmol/L,F=2.78,P＜0.05]; Multivariate regression analysis showed that FFA (OR=135.68,95％CI:3.78-4 873.00) and PE history (OR=123.25,95％CI:9.27-i 638.00) were risk factors of ePE.Pre-hypertension at registration (OR=4.69,95％CI:2.08-10.58) and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) 24-28 (OR=3.69,95％CI:1.26-10.83) were risk factors ofGH.FFA (OR=9.08,95％CI:2.49-33.01) and pre-pregnancy BMI ≥ 28 (OR=5.08,95％CI:2.16-11.92) were risk factors for GDM.Conclusions Serum FFA and TG levels in early second trimester are correlated with PE,especially the early-onset PE.The onset of PE is heterogeneous and affected by many factors,and occurs in patients with or without early diastolic notch of the uterine artery in the second trimester.Patients with notch are more likely to have early-onset PE,which is correlated with blood FFA and TG levels.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular basis for an individual with a rare weak D phenotype.

METHODSSerological methods were used to characterize the RhD blood group phenotype. The exons of RHD gene were amplified with PCR and sequenced. The presence of Rhesus box was tested by PCR to determine the homozygosity of RHD gene.

RESULTSThe RhD blood group of the proband was detected as weak D. The 10 exons of the RHD gene and Rhesus box could be amplified by PCR, and the genotype of RHD alleles was determined as RHD+/RHD-. The exons of the RHD gene were sequenced, and a 365C>T mutation in exon 3 was detected. Therefore, the RhD blood group of the proband was confirmed as weak D type 54 by both serological methods and DNA sequencing.

CONCLUSIONA weak D type 54 has been detected. A 365C>T mutation in RHD gene is responsible for the low expression of D antigen.

Objective:To explore the impact of different referral timing on postponing early-onset pre-eclampsia (PE), postponing severe pre-eclampsia (SPE), reducing SPE severe complications and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes by analyzing the pregnancy outcomes of SPE patients who were referred from primary hospitals to tertiary referral center in the referral system.Methods:The clinical data of 159 SPE patients who were referred from primary hospitals, treated and then terminated their pregnancy in Peking University Third Hospital from January 2020 to October 2021, were observed and analyzed in this clinical observational study. According to the clinical stage of PE at the time of referral, they were divided into four groups: 38 cases were referred after onset of SPE severe complications (SPE-C group), 72 cases were referred after onset of SPE (a-SPE group), 15 cases were referred after onset of PE (a-PE group) and 34 cases were referred after detection of PE early warning-signs (Warn-s group). And then these 159 cases were divided into different color groups according to the project management system for high-risk pregnant women. Patients of Red color (highest risk) and Orange color (higher risk) were required to be referred to tertiary hospitals (Red-Orange group, 113 cases), and patients of Yellow color (high risk) could be treated under tertiary hospitals (Yellow group, 46 cases). The maternal and neonatal outcomes of different referral timings were analyzed and compared.Results:(1) Pregnancy outcomes of different referral timings grouped by PE clinical stage at the time of referral: the later the referral timing, the higher the rate of SPE severe complications, the shorter the interval from referral to termination of pregnancy. The rate of SPE severe complications in the SPE-C group was significantly higher than those of the other three groups, and the interval from referral to termination of pregnancy in the SPE-C group was significantly shorter than those of the other three groups (all P<0.05). The referral gestational age of Warn-s group was earlier than those of the other three groups (all P<0.05). The average gestational ages for onset of SPE, termination of pregnancy, and onset of SPE severe complications were all after 34 gestational weeks, and were later than those of a-SPE group and SPE-C group; the rates of SPE onset before 34 gestational weeks, SPE severe complications onset before 34 gestational weeks, terminating pregnancy before 34 gestational weeks, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization, and pregnancy giving up before 28 gestational weeks were lower than those of a-SPE group and SPE-C group, the length of NICU stay was shorter than those of a-SPE group and SPE-C group, and its rate of take-home-babies was 100%, significantly higher than those in a-SPE group and SPE-C group (all P<0.05). The gestational ages for onset of SPE and termination of pregnancy in a-PE group were later than those in a-SPE group and SPE-C group, the rates of SPE onset before 34 gestational weeks, terminating pregnancy before 34 gestational weeks, and NICU hospitalization were lower than those of a-SPE group and SPE-C group, the length of NICU stay was shorter than those of a-SPE group and SPE-C group (all P<0.05). (2) Pregnancy outcomes of different referral timings grouped by the color classification of PE clinical characteristics: among the 159 cases of SPE, 113 cases (71.1%, 113/159) were in the Red-Orange group which were required to be referred to tertiary hospitals, and 46 cases (28.9%, 46/159) were in the Yellow group,which were not in the range of referral requirements, but actually referred to the tertiary hospital and eventually developed SPE. Gestational ages for onset of SPE, termination of pregnancy, and onset of SPE severe complications in the Yellow group were later than those of the Red-Orange group, while the rates of SPE onset before 34 gestational weeks, SPE severe complications onset before 34 gestational weeks, terminating pregnancy before 34 gestational weeks, NICU hospitalization, and pregnancy giving up before 28 gestational weeks were lower than those of the Red-Orange group, the length of NICU stay was shorter than that of the Red-Orange group, and its rate of take-home-babies was higher than that in the Red-Orange group (all P<0.05). (3) Analysis of different clinical referral timings in the Yellow group: among these 159 SPE patients, 46 cases (28.9%, 46/159) would be excluded from the range of referral requirements which belonged to the Yellow color grade, but 6 cases still developed SPE severe complications (4 cases in Warn-s group and 2 cases in a-PE group), 17 cases were terminated pregnancy before 34 weeks of gestation (12 cases in Warn-s group and 5 cases in a-PE group), and 23 cases developed SPE before 34 weeks of gestation (17 cases in Warn-s group and 6 cases in a-PE group). (4) Multivariate analysis: referral after detection of PE early warning signs was the independent protective factor for postponing the onset of SPE severe complications ( P<0.05). Referral after detection of PE early warning signs and referral after onset of PE were both protective factors for postponing the onset of SPE and early-onset PE (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Different referral timing in the referral system is one of the key points that affect the maternal and neonatal outcomes of SPE. Referral after detection of PE early warning signs and timely referral after onset of PE would reduce early-onset PE, postpone the onset of SPE and reduce the severe complications of SPE. The clinical development and evolution of PE is really complicated, and referral based on specific clinical situations is better than referral based on fixed mode.
