Objective To study the clinical significance of monitoring the urine iodine level in pregnant women.Methods The urine iodine levels were detected in 391 cases of pregnant women.The relativity was analyzed among the pregnancy gestation,pregnancy complications and the urine iodine levels.The corresponding health educa-tion of iodine nutritional knowledge was conducted according to the results of the determination.Results (1 )The urine iodine value was (124.73 ±70.61)μg/L in 391 pregnant women.The severe deficiency iodine rate,deficiency iodine rate and appropriate iodine rate of pregnant women were 37.85%,64.70% and 25.06%,respectively.(2) There was no significant difference in values of urine iodine among the pregnant women during the first,second and third trimester of pregnancy[(121.76 ±71.81)μg/L,(125.52 ±69.28)μg/L,(129.30 ±75.19)μg/L](t≤0.59, all P >0.05).The mean values were all lower than the appropriate values of WHO(150 ~249 μg/L).The low iodine rates were 67.20%,63.23% and 65.12%,respectively.There was no significant difference among them(χ2 =0.56, P >0.05 ).(3 )The urine iodine value of the pregnant women complicated with hyperthyroidism [(85.76 ± 53.09)μg/L]was significantly lower than that of primary hypothyroidism combined with pregnancy [(133.65 ± 73.41)μg/L],pregnancy combined with subclinical hypothyroidism[(136.50 ±79.19)μg/L]and no pregnancy complication[(119.34 ±66.43)μg/L](t≥2.76,P <0.01).The rate of iodine deficiency(87.88%)was highest (χ2 =8.72,P <0.05).(4)The urine iodine value after iodine nutrition intervention was significantly higher than those before in 77 pregnant women[(129.74 ±68.04)μg/L vs.(107.01 ±74.36)μg/L,t =1.98,P <0.05].The iodine deficiency rate dropped from 79.22% to 63.64%(χ2 =4.58,P <0.05).Conclusion In order to improve the appropriate iodine rate of pregnant women,it should be very important significance on monitoring the urine iodine level of pregnant women in particular with a complication of pregnancy and conducting iodine nutrition intervention in whole pregnancy gestation.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and Caspase-12 activation after coronary microembolization (CME) in rats. Methods The CME models were produced by injection of 42 μm microspheres (3000/0.1 ml) into the left ventricle during clampinduced ascending aorta occlusion for 10 seconds in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats (CME group).The sham-operation group was injected with saline instead (S group). The survivors were randomly divided into five groups: 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 4 weeks (n=10, each), respectively. In addition,10 rats were designed as normal control group. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining. The expressions of Caspase-3, 12 and procaspase-3 and 12 were detected with Western-blot analysis. The activity of Caspase-12 was determined with fluorometric assay kit. Results (1)Compared with the shamoperation group and normal control group, the apoptosis rates of cardiomyocytes in CME group were significantly increased at each time point respectively (all P＜0.05). Apoptotic cardiomyocytes were found mainly in the border zones and infarct foci. The apoptosis rates of cardiomyocytes at 3 h, 6 h,12 h, 24 h and 4 weeks after CME were (1.76±0.68)%, (3.17±1.26)%, (1.34±0.12)%,(1.07±0.65)% and (0.30±0.13)%, respectively. The apoptosis rates of cardiomyocytes increased at 3 h after CME, peaked at 6 h after CME (all P＜0.05), and then gradually decreased with lowest value at 4 weeks (all P＜0.01). (2)Compared with sham-operation group and normal control group,the relative activation level of Caspase-3 and 12 in CME group increased remarkably (all P＜0.05).The time courses of Caspase-3 and 12 expressions corresponded well to those of cardiomyocyte apoptosis after CME. Conclusions The amount of cardiomyocytes apoptosis is significantly increased after CME. Caspase-12 may be involved in the apoptosis of cardiomyocyte after CME.

Objective To observe the correlation between non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and coronary artery disease(CAD),extent of angiographic coronary artery lesions and risk factors of CAD.Methods Serum total cholesterol ( TC ),triglyceride ( TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ),low density lipoprotein (LDL-C),Lp(a),apoA-1 and apo B levels were measured in 282 patients with angiographic CAD meanwhile in 129 normal controls without angiographic coronary artery lesions.Non-HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL ratio was calculated.Logistic regression and partial correlation were used to find the correlation of serum non-HDL-C with CAD.Results Non-HDL-C[ (3.40 ± 1.01 ) mmol/L vs (3.08 ±0.65)mmol/L,P ＜0.05],LDL-C[ (2.63 ±0.84) mmo/L vs (2.40 ±0.54) mmol/L,P ＜0.05 ],TC[ (4.48 ± 1.07)mmol/L vs (4.23 ±0.69) mmol/L,P ＜0.05 ],and LDL-C/HDL ratio [ ( 2.52 ± 0.96) vs (2.21 ± 0.74 ),P ＜ 0.05 ] were significantly higher in the CAD group than in the control group.The four indexes also showed an increasing trend in the sequence of single,double and triple vessel lesions.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis found that among lipid factors,only non-HDL-C was independently associated with CAD.The results of partial correlation analysis demonstrated that non-HDL-C was positively correlated to the number of lesions( r =0.250,P ＜0.01 )and gensini score of CAD( r =0.116,P ＜0.05 ).Conclusion Non-HDL-C level is an independent risk factor for CAD and significantly correlated with the severity of CAD.
