Objective To understand the effect of environmental risk factors exposed in the first trimester of pregnancy on congenital heart disease, then provide scientific evidence for congenital heart disease prevention. Methods A hospital-based 1:1 matched case-control study was conducted. The risk factors were obtained by field investigation with standardized questionnaires. The data was dealt with single factor analysis and conditional Logistic regression using SPSS version 11.5. Results Folic acid(OR=0.340, 95%CI: 0.178-0.649), milk(OR=0.660, 95%CI: 0.460-0.947), meat(OR=0.771, 95%CI: 0.583-0.867) and nausea and vomiting of pregnancy(OR=0.457, 95%CI: 0.271-0.770)were significantly associated with congenital heart disease. Maternal infection(OR=2.736, 95%CI: 1.462-5.121), taking medicine(OR=2.735, 95%CI: 1.483-5.044), poisonous chemicals(OR=2.764, 95%CI: 1.065-7.177) and mental stress(OR=2.211, 95%CI: 1.022-4.782) were risk factors of congenital heart disease. Conclusion To prevent congenital heart diseases, pregnant women should take more nutriment, keep healthy state and avoid infecting, taking medicine and exposing chemical toxicants in the first trimester of pregnancy.

Objective To study the protective effect of resveratrol on endothelial cells injury induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and its protective mechanism. Methods The injured model was established by endothelial cell treated with oxLDL. In the experiment, endothelial cell were cultured in vitro and divided into seven groups which were: control group; solvent (DMSO) group, oxLDL group, quercetin plus oxLDL group, Reseveratrol-L (0.5 mol/L), M(5 mol/L), H(50 mol/L) plus oxLDL group respectively. Endothelial cells were incubated with 200?g/ml oxLDL for 18 hours in the absence or presence of various concentrations of resveratrol and quercetin. The apoptotic index was detected by flow cytometric. Meanwhile, the content of Malondialdehyde (MDA), and the activity of SOD, GSHPX in the culture medium and homogenate of endothelial cells were measured. Results Incubation of endothelial cells with oxLDL for 18 h elicited a significant increase in the percent of apoptotic endothelial cells, in control group, the percent of apoptotic cells is 7.6?0.6, however in oxLDL group, it increased to 41.4?2.3, furthermore, oxLDL induced the increase of the contents of MDA, and accompanied by the decrease in the activity of SOD, GSHPX in the endothelial cells, the difference of was significant as compared with control group. Pretreatment of resveratrol with 0.5~50 mol/L decreased these oxLDL-induced changes, in Reseveratrol with 50 mol/L group, the percent of apoptotic cells decreased to 13.0?1.5, the difference of was significant as compared with oxLDL group (P

AIM: To study the effect of TGF-? 1 and TN F-? antisense PS-ODNS on ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell s (HSPC). METHODS: CD 34 + cells were purified from fres h umbilical cord blood by immunomagnetic beads, and mononuclear cells were purifi ed from bone marrow by Ficoll-hypaque . The effects of TGF-? 1 and /or TNF-? an tisense PS-ODNS on ex vivo expansion of CD 34 + cells、CFU-GEMM、CFU-G M、CFU-E and BFU-E were detected by using liquid and semi-solid culture systems . RESULTS: TGF-? 1 antisense PS-ODNS cooperated with cytokines increased the number of CD 34 + cells,CFU-GEMM,CFU-GM,CFU-E and BFU-E , which was as 4,2.6,2.7,1.8,2.1 times as that of the control (the cytokine s combination), respectively. TNF-? antisense PS-ODNS cooperated with cytokines respectively increased the number of CD 34 + cells, CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM, CF U-E and BFU-E by 4, 2 9, 2 6, 1 7, 1 8 times as that of the control. The ab ove two antisense PS-ODNS cooperated with cytokines could respectively increased the number of CD 34 + cells, CFU-GEMM, CFU-GM, CFU-E and BFU-E by 5 3,2 1, 2 7, 1 9, 1 8 times as that of the control. CONCLUSION: I nhibition of endogenous TGF-? 1 and TNF-? by antisense PS-ODNS will be one of the effective methods to expand HSPC ex vivo.

For unresectable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),besides sorafenib,alternative drugs and treatment modalities are required.Clinical studies of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC),transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE),and system chemotherapy have shown favorable efficacy and tolerance in advanced HCC patients.In addition,the potential efficacy of sorafenib combined with focal treatment is also an interesting issue.As more therapies become available,decision-making for treating advanced HCC becomes increasingly complex.In our opinion,diverse treatment modalities should be utilized for the best interest of patients.Based on predictive biomarkers,we should develop a precise patient stratification system to select suitable candidates for each treatment modality in future studies,as is useful for improving prognosis of patients with advanced HCC.
