Objective:
To investigate the association between etheno-DNA adduct and the promoter of DNA methylation levels of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (P16), Ras association domain family 1 (RASSF1A) and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) in workers with occupational exposure to diesel engine exhaust (DEE).
Methods:
We recruited 124 diesel engine testing workers as DEE exposure group and 112 water pump operator in the same area as control group in Henan province in 2012 using cluster sampling. The demographic data were obtained by questionnaire survey; urine after work and venous blood samples were collected from each subject. The urinary etheno-DNA adducts were detected using UPLC-MS/MS, including 1,N6-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (εdA) and 3,N4-etheno-2'-deoxycytidine(εdC). The DNA methylation levels of P16, RASSF1A, and MGMT were evaluated using bisulfite-pyrosequencing assay. The percentage of methylation was expressed as the 5-methylcytosine (5mC) over the sum of cytosines (%5mC). Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression were applied to analyze the association between etheno-DNA adducts and DNA methylation of P16, RASSF1A, and MGMT.

6.Research progress in prediction of postpartum depression.
Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2020;45(4):456-461
Postpartum depression is a kind of mental disorder caused by the comprehensive effects of economics, psychosociology, biology, obstetrics and other characteristic factors in the process of female pregnancy. The pathogenesis of postpartum depression is complicated and has not been clarified. With the process pregnancy, the influence of psychosocial and biology factors are also in dynamic change. The postpartum depression predictor among psychosocial factors are antenatal depression, life events and social supports. Among biological factors, the predictors are hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and serum lipids. Timely and effective prediction can identify the high-risk population and risk factors for postpartum depression.

Objective To evaluate different inflammation markers for predicting the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis patients. Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted. The adult patients with sepsis for more than 24 hours admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from March 1st, 2010 to November 1st, 2017 were enrolled. Inflammatory markers such as white blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rata (ESR), neutrophil and lymphocyte ratio (NLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), etc. were collected at ICU admission. The patients were divided into different groups according to the 24-hour AKI, and subgroup analysis was conducted according to the criteria of the Global Renal Disease Prognostic Organization (KDIGO)-AKI staging. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted with statistically significant inflammatory markers to assess the predictive value of AKI for patients with systemic infection. Results A total of 753 patients with sepsis were enrolled. 405 AKI patients were diagnosed within 24 hours, with a prevalence of 53.8%. There were 118 cases (15.7%) in AKI stage 1, 48 cases (6.4%) in stage 2 and 239 cases (31.7%) in stage 3. PCT in AKI group was significantly higher than that in non-AKI group [μg/L: 4.98 (1.51, 32.75) vs. 3.00 (0.37, 11.40), P < 0.01]. PCT of AKI stage 2 group was significantly higher than that of AKI stage 1 and 3 groups [μg/L: 27.86 (4.80, 37.26) vs. 3.00 (0.98, 16.10), 4.98 (1.51, 42.55), both P < 0.01]. Although ESR in AKI group was lower than that of non-AKI group (mm/1 h: 45.25±37.42 vs. 52.28±34.89, P < 0.01), there was no significant difference among the subgroups. CRP in AKI group was slightly higher than the non-AKI group [mg/L: 96.00 (42.20, 160.00) vs. 73.60 (21.01, 157.50)], but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in WBC or NLR between AKI group and non-AKI group. It was shown by ROC curve analysis that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of PCT in predicting the occurrence of septic AKI was 0.619, with the 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of 0.545-0.689 (P < 0.01). When the cut-off value of PCT > 0.4 μg/L, the sensitivity was 94.2%, the specificity was 26.5%, the accuracy was 64.2%, the positive predictive value was 61.6%, and the negative predictive value was 78.6%. Conclusion PCT could be a marker to predict AKI with sepsis patients.
