Objective To analyze the prevalence of hypertension in coal mine male workers and its influencing factors.
Methods A total of 1 772 coal mine male workers from a coal mining group were selected as research subjects using multi
stage
complex sampling method. The prevalence of hypertension and its influencing factors were analyzed. Results The
prevalence of hypertension was 33.0%(585/1 772). Logistic regression analysis of complex sampling showed that body mass
index, family history of hypertension, alcohol-drinking, tea-drinking, and snoring were independent risk factors for
hypertension(all P<0.05),after adjusting for the effects of other inclusion factors on the basis of age. The risk of hypertension
in coal mine male workers was higher in those with overweight and obesity than in normal weight(all P<0.01),higher in those
with family history of hypertension than in no history of hypertension(P<0.01),and higher in tea drinkers than in no tea
drinkers (P<0.05). The more the alcohol consumption and the higher the frequency of snoring,the higher the risk of
hypertension(all P<0.01). These factors have a dose-response relationship. Conclusion The body mass index,family history
of hypertension,alcohol-drinking,tea-drinking and snoring can affect the prevalence of hypertension in coal mine male workers.

Objective To explore the normal range of the volume of frontal lobe in Chinese adults of the Han nationality and provide morphological data for the construction of database for Chinese Standard Brain. Methods This is a clinical multi-center study. Two hundred Chinese healthy volunteers (age range= 18 to 70) recruited from 16 hospitals were divided into 5 groups, i. e. , age range from 18 to 30, age range from 31 to 40, age range from 41 to 50, age range from 51 to 60, and age range from 61 to 70. Each group contained 20 males and 20 females. All of the volunteers were scanned by MR using T1 weighted threedimensional magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo sequence. We used the manual method to trace the region of interest and measured the left and right frontal lobe volumes separately. All the data were analyzed with SPSS (version 13.0). The sex differences in the frontal lobe volumes were analyzed by independent-samples t test, and the side differences were analyzed by paired-samples t test. Correlation and regression analysis was used between the age and the frontal lobe volumes. Results In 200 healthy Chinese Han volunteers, the total frontal lobe volumes was (563 ± 73) cm3. For male, the volumes of the left and the right frontal lobe were (288±42) cm3 and (292 ±41 ) cm3 ,respectively. The volumes of the left and right frontal lobe in 100 women were (273 ±30) cm3 and (274 ± 30) cm3 respectively. The differences of sex (t = 3. 334, P < 0. 05 ) and side ( t = - 3.09, P < 0. 05 ) in the total frontal lobe volumes reach significant. There was no significant differences in women ( t = - 1. 304, P > 0. 05 ). There were negative correlations between the frontal lobe volumes and age in men and women ( r = - 0. 586, - 0. 498, P <0. 01 ). Conclusions The total frontal lobe volume of men was larger than that of women. The volume of the right frontal lobe was larger than the left frontal lobe in men, and the asymmetries didn't exist in women.The total frontal lobe volumes were both shrinking with age in men and women, which was more rapid in men than in women.

Objectives To investigate the correlation between dietary fatty acids intake of pregnant women and neonatal anthropometry at birth. Methods Women in early pregnancy were recruited with appropriate value of weight gain in pregnancy. Instant photography was used to assess the dietary situation in both the second trimester and the third trimester to calculate the intakes of food, energy, macronutrients, and fatty acids. The body weight, height and BMI at birth were evaluated with Z scores. The correlation between dietary fatty acids of pregnant women and neonatal anthropometry at birth were analyzed. Results There were 516 pregnant women recruited in this study. The average intakes of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the proportion of total fatty acids in the two trimesters were 15 . 09 g/d, 23 . 93% and 17 . 18 g/d, 24 . 86%. In the second trimester the intakes of n-6 and n-3 PUFA were 14 . 23 g/d and 3 . 45 g/d, and in the third trimester, n-6 and n-3 PUFA were 16 . 08 g/d and 3 . 81 g/d, the average intakes in the third trimester were signiifcantly higher than those in the second trimester (P?0.05).n-6/n-3PUFA ratio was 4.11 and 4.28?in the second trimester and the third trimester, respectively, without signiifcantdifference between the two trimesters (P?>?0 . 05 ). The intake of DHA ( 64 . 43 mg/d) in the second trimester was lower than that in the third trimester 75 . 12 mg/d, (P?0 . 05 ). The percentage of linoleic acid (LA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) contribution to energy were 5 . 95%, 1 . 42% and 6 . 20%, 1 . 45% in the second and the third trimesters, respectively. There was no signiifcant difference between the two trimesters (P?>?0 . 05 ).The dietary intakes of n-3 PUFA, n-6 PUFA and n-6/n-3 ratio in the second trimester were positively correlated with neonatal BMI r=0 . 142~0 . 189 , P?0.05). But in the third trimester, only n-3PUFA and DHA were positively correlated with birth weight ( r=0.206, 0.193, P?0 . 05 ); there was no correlation between n-6/n-3 ratio and neonatal BMI ( r=-0 . 018 , P?>?0 . 05 ). Conclusions The dietary ratio of n-6/n-3 PUFA in the second trimester was positively correlated with neonatal BMI, suggesting that moderately increasing the intake of n-3 PUFA may play a positive role in reducing childhood obesity.

The effect of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) on invasive capability of early pregnant extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVTs) was investigated in vitro. Primary EVTs were obtained by complex phosphoesterasum digestion and gradient centrifugation from villous tissue aseptically taken from healthy pregnant women. Cytokeratin7 (CK7), vimentin (Vim) and c-erbB-2 were immunocytochemically detected to identify source of cells, and HCMVpp65 antigen was assayed to determine the infection state of primary EVTs by immunocytochemical staining. The EVTs were divided into two groups: control group and HCMV group, and the expression of c-erbB-2, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 proteins was detected in two groups by immunocytochemistry and Western blotting. Enzymic activity changes of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were tested by gelatin zymography in primary EVTs infected with HCMV. The invasion of primary EVTs was detected by cell invasion assay in vitro after they were infected by HCMV. The cell source identification showed that the cells obtained were highly-pure primary EVTs, and primary EVTs could be infected by HCMV. Primary EVTs could express c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins, and as compared with control group, the protein expression was decreased significantly in HCMV groups (P<0.05). Primary EVTs could secrete active MMP-2 and MMP-9 in vitro, and the activity of two MMPs was decreased significantly in HCMV groups (P<0.05). The in vitro cell invasion assay showed that the number of primary EVTs permeating Matrigel in HCMV group was decreased (P<0.05). We are led to conclude that HCMV can infect primary EVTs and inhibit their invasion capability, suggesting that the impaired EVT's invasion capability might be related to the abnormal expression of c-erbB-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins.
