The growth-inhibiting and apoptosis-inducing effects of WW domain-containing oxidoreductase (WWOX) gene on ovarian cancer cell line A2780 were investigated. The full length cDNA of human WWOX gene was amplified from normal human ovary tissues. The correct cDNA of full length WWOX was subcloned into eukaryocytic expression vector pCMV. After introduction of WWOX gene into cancer cells with liposome, the WWOX mRNA and protein level in the cancer cells were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunoblotting. The growth activities of cancer cells were detected by Trypan blue staining. The clone formation assay in soft agar was employed to observe the proliferation of the cancer cells. Apoptosis was examined by DNA ladder and acridine orange-ethidium bromide fluorescent staining. The results showed that 72 h after WWOX gene transfection, the WWOX expression was increased significantly (P<0.01). The growth of ovarian cancer cells was decreased by 16.41% to 38.49% (P<0.01). The clone formation abilities were reduced (P<0.01). Some cancer cells presented the characteristic morphological changes of apoptosis with obvious ladder bands on electrophoresis. The apoptosis rate was (20.7+/-6.0)% (P<0.01). It was concluded that over-expression of WWOX gene could induce apoptosis and inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells, which might be potentially useful in the gene therapy of ovarian cancers.

Objective To investigate the main pathogenic factors of fetal distress and its complications and to reduce perinatal mortality. Methods Two hundred and ten records and pathological slides in autopsy due to fetal distress were reviewed. Results Cord problem was the first cause of fetal distress followed by placental and maternal factors. Most fetal distress were caused by multi-factors. Among 210 cases,meconium aspirative syndrome was found in 170 cases (81%),amniotic fluid aspiration 36 cases (17.1%) and hypoxic syndrome 4 cases (1.9%). There were 59 cases complicated with aspirative pneumonia including 48 cases of meconium aspirative pneumonia and 11 with amniotic fluid aspirative pneumonia. The main complications were hypoxia-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE)(153 cases),diffused pulmonary hemorrhage(68 cases) and fatal malformations (27cases). Conclusion Fetal distress increases perinatal mortality when complicated with HIE,diffused pulmonary hemorrhage,pulmonary infection or fatal malformation

Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a common severe complication during pregnancy, which is characterized by complex etiology, unclear pathogenesis and lack of effective tools for early diagnosis and prediction. Recently, the development of omics technology provides new insights into the research into HDP. Based on national and international publications from 2011 to 2022, this review summarizes the application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics in the pathogenesis and prediction of HDP, so as to provide insights into the prediction, prevention and precise treatment of HDP.

Objective To investigate awareness of hypertension prevention and treatment knowledge in physicians from hospitals at varied levels in Xinjiang. Methods In total, 150 voluntary physicians were selected randomly from hospitals at varied levels in Xinjiang for an anonymous close-book baseline survey on hypertension knowledge with questionnaire. Then, an intensive training on hypertension prevention and treatment based on Guidelines on Prevention and Treatment for Hypertension in China was offered for them.After training, another survey was conducted among them with the same questionnaire to examine improvement in their awareness of hypertension prevention and treatment knowledge and evaluate effectiveness of the training. Results At baseline, 89. 3 percent (134/150) of physicians could correctly know diagnostic criteria for hypertension, 78. 3 percent ( 18/23 ) of them from primary-care hospitals, and 52. 0 percent (78/150) could correctly know level of blood pressure under control, only 34. 8 percent (8/23) of them from primary-care hospitals. Only 67 (44. 7% ) physicians surveyed could know criteria for non-antihypertensive drug treatment, 27 of then from secondary-care hospitals and nine from primary-care ones, significant less in that among those from tertiary-care ones ( 88. 6%, 31/35 ) ( P < 0. 05 ). After training, their awareness of hypertension prevention and treatment knowledge improved significantly ( P <0. 01). Conclusions Awareness of hypertension prevention and treatment knowledge differed considerably in physicians from hospitals at varied levels, poorer in those from primary-care hospitals, and more importance should be attached to them, especially to those from primary-care hospitals.
