Objective: To learn the characteristics of adolescent pregnancy in Wenzhou from 2015 to 2019, so as to provide basis for protecting adolescent physical and mental health. Methods: Data of demographic characteristics, pregnancy and delivery outcomes of the women aged under 19 years ( adolescent pregnant ) and 20 to 34 years ( right-age pregnant ) who delivered in Wenzhou from 2015 to 2019 were collected from Wenzhou Maternal and Child Health Information Management System. The incidence of pregnancy complication, comorbidity and adverse delivery outcomes of adolescent pregnant women was compared with that of right-age pregnant women. Results: Among 536 753 parturients reported in Wenzhou from 2015 to 2019, there were 22 419 ( 4.18% ) of adolescent pregnancy and 430 163 ( 80.14% ) of right-age pregnancy. The average age of adolescent pregnant women was (18.11±0.82) years ( range, 10-19 years ). The majority of adolescent pregnant women were migrant population (19 437 cases, 86.70%), had an education level of junior high school and below ( 18 594 cases, 82.94% ), and had no occupation (19 192 cases, 85.61%). The incidence rates of anemia, gestational diabetes, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal laceration and premature delivery in adolescent pregnant women increased from 2015 to 2019 ( all P<0.05 ). The incidence rates of gestational diabetes, anemia, gestational hypertension, placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, perineal laceration, premature delivery, low birth weight, fetal death and stillbirth were 1.65%, 11.76%, 0.19%, 0.26%, 3.19%, 24.52%, 6.03%, 5.53%, 0.50% and 0.04% in adolescent pregnant women, which were significant different from 5.49%, 8.94%, 0.13%, 0.01%, 0.17%, 23.46%, 4.66%, 3.08%, 0.26% and 0.01% in the right-age pregnant women, respectively ( all P<0.05 ). Conclusions The adolescent pregnant population in Wenzhou are mainly migrant population with lower education level and no occupation. The incidence rates of pregnancy complication, comorbidity and adverse birth outcomes in adolescent pregnant population are higher than those in right-age pregnant population, and are increasing year by year.

Objective To investigate the role of gamma secretase inhibitor-I (GSI-I) in cell proliferation and apoptosis of human glioma cell lines U87 and U251.Methods RT-PCR and fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) were employed to evaluate the expressions of Notch receptors and their target gene Hes-I in both U87 and U251 cells treated by GSI-I,respectively.Then,MTT assay was used to examine the effects of GSI-I on cell proliferation of the 2 glioma cells.Meanwhile,flow cytometry technique was also employed to detect the cell cycle changes and apoptosis induced by GSI-I treatment.Results The activity of Notch pathway was inhibited by GSI-I treatment through down-regulating the expression of Notch receptors target gene Hes-I in both U87 and U251 cells.Treatment with 2.5μmol/L GSI-I or above concentrations could significantly induce the cell cycle arrest of U87 and U251 cells and these effects were positively concentration-dependent.Flow cytometry technique showed that GSI-I inhibited the cell proliferation by inducing the cell cycle arrest of U87 cells at GI phase and inducing the apoptosis of U251 cells.Conclusion GSI-I can dramatically inhibit the cell proliferation and induce the apoptosis of U87 and U251 cells,providing a reliable evidence for clinical glioma treatment.

Objective To compare the treatment effects of Qingyi Huoxue decoction and infliximab on acute necrosis pancreatitis ( ANP) complicated with MODS in a rat model. Methods 4.5% sodium taurocholate was injected into the pancreatic duct to induce the ANP complicated with MODS model. The ANP rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, ANP group (ANP), Qingyi Huoxue decoction treatment group ( QG) , infliximab treatment group (IG). Rats in infliximab group received infliximab injection at a dose of 8 mg/kg body weight via tail vein 6 h after the ANP induction. The ANP and QG received normal saline and Qingyi Huoxue decoction (20 ml/kg) via gastric lavage 4 h before and 3 h, 9 h after ANP induction. After 24 h, all rats were sacrificed, the serum levels of amylase, total bilirubin, Cr, TNF-α, diamine oxidase ( DAO) , intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and the rate of carbon propelling rate in ileum were measured. The pancreas samples were collected for pathological examination. The pathological score of pancreas was calculated. Results The pathological scores in ANP, QG, IG were 13.8 ±0.8, 6.1 ±0.4, 3.9 ±0.6, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The serum levels of amylase, total bilirubin, Cr, TNF-α were significantly decreased. In ANP, QG, IG the serum levels of DAO were (186.3 ± 10.2 ) , ( 134.6 ± 14.3 ) , ( 149.1 ± 16.3) U/L; the carbon propelling rates in ileum were (53 ±0.1)% , (89 ±0.1)% , (61 ±0.1)% ; the IAPs were (11.8 ±1.5), (4.1±0.8), (5.8 ±1.2) mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The DAO and IAP in AG, IG were significantly decreased when compared with that in ANP group, but the carbon propelling rates in ileum was significantly higher than that in ANP group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). In addition, the carbon propelling rates in ileum in QG were higher than that in IG, and IAP and DAO levels were lower than that in IG, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusions The Qingyi Huoxue decoction and infliximab were significantly effective in the treatment of ANP rats complicated with MODS. But the effects of Qinyi Huoxue decoction on promoting gastrointestinal motility, reducing the IAP and improving the intestinal barrier function were better than those of the infliximab.

In order to establish a method for the determination of the sterols of the oil in the freeze-dried acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) and to evaluate its antioxidant activities, a saponification/extraction procedure and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis method were developed and validated for the analysis of phytosterols in PEE (Petroleum ether extract). Separation was achieved on a Purosper STAR LP C18 column with a binary, gradient solvent system of acetonitrile and isopropanol. Evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) was used to quantify β-sitosterol and the total sterols. Peak identification was verified by retention times and spikes with external standards. Standard curves were constructed (r = 0.999 2) to allow for sample quantification. Recovery of the saponification and extraction was demonstrated via analysis of spiked samples. The highest content of total sterols is β-sitosterol. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated using the total oxyradical scavenging capacity assay (TOSC assay). The result showed that the PEE exhibited significant antioxidant properties, sample concentration and the antioxidant capacity had a certain relevance.
