Objective:To explore the range of medical reference value of thyroid hormone of pregnant women in early pregnancy in Jinan after adjustment of salt iodine content, so as to provide basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases of pregnant women in early pregnancy.Methods:A prospective study was conducted in 560 pregnant women in early pregnancy (0-13 weeks) who had underwent prenatal examination and thyroid function testing in Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January to December 2018. At the same time, 100 healthy non-pregnant women who were examined in the Health Examination Center of Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were selected as the control population. Urine samples of pregnant women in early pregnancy were collected, and urinary iodine content was detected by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry. Venous blood samples were collected from pregnant women in early pregnancy and control population, the serum levels of free triiodothyronine (FT 3), free thyroxine (FT 4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were detected by electrochemiluminescence (ECL), and the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH were established. Results:The median urinary iodine of pregnant women in early pregnancy was 162.21 μg/L, which was in the appropriate level of iodine. After the adjustment of salt iodine content, the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in pregnant women in early pregnancy were 3.86-6.15 pmol/L, 12.56-22.16 pmol/L and 0.01-3.48 mU/ L, respectively; and the medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in control population were 3.55-6.05 pmol/L, 9.93-20.58 pmol/L and 0.54-5.92 mU/L, respectively. Conclusions:The iodine nutrition of pregnant women in early pregnancy in Jinan is appropriate after the adjustment of salt iodine content. The medical reference values of FT 3, FT 4 and TSH in pregnant women in early pregnancy are different from those in the healthy non-pregnant women. Therefore, it is of clinical significance to establish a medical reference value range of thyroid hormone for pregnant women in early pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate and compare the effects of water extracts of Whitmania pigra Whitman and Hirudinaria ma-nillensis Lesson on the angiogenesis of Tg (kdrl:mCherry) zebrafish. Methods:The zebrafish embryos 6-8 hours after fertilization (6-8hpf) were transferred to the culture medium containing Whitmania pigra Whitman or Hirudinaria manillensis Lesson extract at different concentrations, and the culture medium containing the drugs was replaced every 24 h. And then, at 72 hpf, the larvalmorphology and intersegmental vessels were observed under a microscope. The hatchability of 48-and 72-hpf embryos, and the number of intersegmen-tal vessels and the heart rate of 72-hpf juveniles were measured. Results:Compared with the control group, when the concentration of Whitmania pigra Whitmanis was higher than 30μg· ml-1 , and the concentration of Hirudinaria manillensis Lesson was higher than 20μg· ml-1, the number of intersegmental vessels was significantly reduced (P<0. 01). Compared with the control group, at 48 hpf, when the concentration of the drug groups was higher than 40 μg· ml-1 , the hatchability of the two groups significantly decreased ( P<0. 01);at 72 hpf, the hatchability of Whitmania pigra Whitman decreased significantly at the concentration of 100 μg·ml-1 (P<0.01), while the hatchability of Hirudinaria manillensis Lesson decreased significantly at the concentration of 80 μg· ml-1(P <0. 01). There was no obvious yolk sac edema, pericardial edema and spine curvature in the two groups. The heart rate decreased sig-nificantly (P<0. 01), while was still within the normal range. Conclusion:Both Whitmania pigra Whitman and Hirudinaria manillen-sis Lesson have notable anti-angiogenic activity, and the anti-angiogenesis activity of Hirudinaria manillensis Lesson is stronger. They both have effects on the development of zebrafish embryos, while the toxicity is not obvious.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang (MXFT) against migraine. MethodTraditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), SiwssTargetPrediction and other databases were used to screen the active components and action targets of MXFT as well as migraine-related targets. The potential protein-protein interaction (PPI) network diagram was plotted for the intersection targets of MXFT and migraine using STRING 11.5. Metascape was used for Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of potential intersection targets. The component-target-pathway network of MXFT was constructed by Cytoscape 3.7.1 to screen core targets with high degree value. Finally, the binding strength between core target and its mapping components was verified by molecular docking, and the core targets with desirable docking results were verified by animal experiments in vivo. Forty eight SD rats were selected, and except the blank group, the other rats were subcutaneously injected with nitroglycerin to prepare the migraine rat model. The modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, positive drug group and MXFT high-, medium- and low-dose groups. The positive drug group was given zolmitriptan tablets, and the MXFT high-, medium- and low-dose groups were given high, medium and low doses of MXFT, respectively. The changes of behavior and pain threshold of rats in each group were observed every other day after modeling. The levels of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) and c-fos proto-oncogene (FOS) protein in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemical technique and Western blot were employed to determine the levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2, also known as MAPK1/3) and protein kinase B 1 (Akt1), protein kinase C α (PRKCA) in trigeminal nerve of SD rats. ResultThe network pharmacology showed that the core targets of MXFT in the treatment of migraine were MAPK1, MAPK3, Akt1, PRKCA, etc., mainly involving neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, etc. The molecular docking demonstrated that MAPK1, MAPK3, Akt1, PRKCA, PRKCB and PRKCG had good binding ability with their mapping components. The animal experiments indicated that compared with the conditions in the blank group, the number of head scratching in the model group was increased (P<0.01), and the pain threshold was decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the conditions in the model group, the number of head scratching in each administration group was reduced (P<0.01), and the pain threshold was increased (P<0.01). In addition, the levels of CGRP, ERK2 and FOS proteins in plasma, and Akt1, ERK1/2 and PRKCA proteins in trigeminal ganglion of the model group were higher than those of the blank group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The levels of CGRP, ERK2 and FOS proteins in plasma and Akt1, ERK1/2 and PRKCA proteins in trigeminal ganglion of each administration group were lower than those of the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionMXFT had multi-component, multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics in the treatment of migraine, and the mechanism might be related to inhibiting vasodilation, reducing the release of inflammatory factors and inhibiting neuronal hyperactivity.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of new elderly malignant tumor cases in Tongren City from 2018 to 2022, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of elderly malignant tumor in this area. Methods A retrospective analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of cases aged 60 and above who were first diagnosed with malignant tumors by pathology in our hospital from 2018 to 2022 was conducted based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Results The incidence rate of elderly malignant tumors in Tongren City increased from 123.83/100 000 in 2018 to 126.14/100 000 in 2022, and the incidence rate showed a trend of first rising and then declining. The top five tumors in incidence rate are lung cancer, rectal cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer and cervical cancer. The tumor order has changed over the years except lung cancer, which was the first. Lung cancer was the main high incidence tumor among the elderly of all ages. With the increase of age, the number of bladder cancer patients increases significantly, and the number of colon cancer patients also shows an upward trend. The prevalence rate of lung cancer(χ2=16.032,P=0.014) , liver cancer(χ2=8.099,P=0.030) , bladder cancer(χ2=11.274 , P=0.018) , and gastric cancer(χ2=19.387 , P=0.011) in elderly people of different sexes was generally higher in men than in women, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Lung cancer , rectal cancer and liver cancer, as the malignant tumors with high case composition and rapid increase in the elderly, can be the focus of early screening and prevention of malignant tumors in the elderly in Tongren City, and men should pay more attention.
