Objective To analyze the relationship between pre - pregnancy body mass index ( BMI) ,gestational weight gain ( GWG) and the birth weight of infants,and explore the effect of weight change before and during pregnancy on low birth weight ( LBW) and macrosomia. Methods Women were enrolled by the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study during first trimester. Each respondent's weight before and during pregnancy and the birth weight of infant were collected after fellow up. Prepregnancy BMI was divided into underweight,normal and overweight /obesity groups and GWG was divided into suitable, insufficient and excessive groups. Multivariate Logistic regression was adopted to explore the relationship be- tween pre-pregnancy BMI,GWG and newborn's birth weight. Results Women's prepregnancy BMI and GWG were associated with neonatal birth weight ( all P<0. 05) . Prepregnancy overweight or obesity ( OR=2. 339,95% CI: 1. 674-2. 282,P<0. 001) and excessive GWG ( OR= 1. 398,95% CI: 1. 188-1. 978,P= 0. 048) were shown as risk factors for macrosomia. Insufficient GWG increased LBW risk ( OR = 1. 479, 95% CI: 1. 461-1. 679,P= 0. 035) while excessive GWG declined LBW risk ( OR= 0. 428,95% CI: 0. 225 -0. 817,P= 0. 010) . Under weight-insufficient GWG was risk factor of LBW ( OR= 1. 335,95% CI: 1. 048 -2. 319,P= 0. 048) while normal BMI-excessive GWG ( OR= 1. 088,95% CI: 1. 016-1. 675,P= 0. 038) and overweight /obesity-excessive GWG ( OR= 1. 498,95% CI: 1. 244-2. 017,P= 0. 046) were associated with higher risk of delivering macrosomia. Conclusions Prepregnancy BMI and GWG were associated with infant's birth weight and women were suggested to maintain their weight in recommended range before and during pregnancy.

OBJECTIVETo study the acting mechanism of endothelial cell line ECV304 in regulating angiogenesis induced by Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XFZY).
METHODSThe angiogenesis effect of XFZY-contained serum (XFZY-CS) was confirmed by observing its impact on proliferation, cell cycle, migration of ECV304 and on vascular neogenesis in vitro. Then the effect of XFZY on various angiogenesis controlling factors was analyzed with gene chip microarray technique.
RESULTSTreatment of XFZY-CS in 2.5% concentration for 48 h showed evident actions of enhancing ECV304 activity, increasing cell numbers of S phase, inducing cell migration and promoting the in vitro angiogenesis. Meanwhile, expressions of four angiogenesis controlling genes were up-regulated and 10 were down-regulated.
CONCLUSIONThe angiogenesis mechanism of ECV304 induced by XFZY is complex, it shows a multi-pathway and multi-target feature.

CDISC standard has become a set of global data standards that can be used in clinical study, covering the full life cycle of clinical researches. After nearly 20 years of development and continuous version upgrades, CDISC standard can improve the quality and efficiency of clinical research and drug review, and to facilitate all stakeholders involved in researches to exchange the study data and communicate the outcomes. CDISC standard has been or is to be adopted as standard format in data submission by multiple regulatory authorities, and more widely implemented by the global pharmaceutical community. CDISC standard is gradually adopted in China. The feasibility and roadmap of CDISC standard as the Chinese data submission format requirements are undergoing exploration and piloting further.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effects of Jiedu Tongluo injection on cerebral edema induced by focal lesion of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, the hydrous content of brain and the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), E-selectin and MMP-9 in rats.
METHODThe model of brain middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion was established by the thread approach. After 24 hours of reperfusion, cerebral edema formation was determined by the hydrous content of brain. The permeability of blood brain barrier was evaluated based on the leakage of Evans blue. Enzyme-linked immunoadsordent assay (ELISA)was used to examine the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-selectin. The expression of MMP-9 was measured by immunohistochemistry.
RESULTJDTL, in the dose of 2 mL x kg(-1) and 4 mL x kg(-1), relieved cerebral edema (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), reduced the expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-land E-selectin and decreased MMP-9 activity (P < 0. 05, P < 0.01) in model rats.
CONCLUSIONJiedu Tongluo injection has a protective effect on rat brain from cerebral edema induced by the injury of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. The mechanism is related to that Jiedu Tongluo injection can reduce the expressions of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin and inhibit of MMP-9 activation in rat brain.

Objective: To observe the alteration of type- Ⅰ collagen protein gene expression after arterial injury and investigate its effect on the development of restenosis. Methods: Firstly, thee xperimental carotid arterial injury rabbit model was constructed. Then, Norther n blot, in situ hybridization and histomorphometric analysis were used to de tect the expression of procollagen mRNA and the accumulation of collagen protein 1,2,4 weeks after injury. Results: Type- Ⅰ collag en mRNA increased 1 week after injury, peaked 2 weeks later and decreased 4 week s later. The deposition of the collagen protein account for a high percentage o f space in neointima on histomorphometric analysis. Conclusion: Collagen protein may play an important role in the development of neointima and restenosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of simvastatin on severe complications and prognosis of subarachnoid heamorrhage (SAH).Methods98 cases with SAH were randomly divided into the treatment groups and control group (finally, there were 32 cases in treatment group, 48 cases in control group). Patients in treatment group were given simvastatin 20 mg/day, and those in control group were treated with routine therapy. The incidences of cerebral vasospasm, hydrocephalus, rebleeding and mortality between the two groups were compared.ResultsThe incidence of hydrocephalus of treatment group was 3.13%; that of control group was 18.7%, there was a significantly difference between two groups (P<0.05). There were no significant differences for incidences of cerebral vasospasm, rebleeding and mortality between two groups (P>0.05).ConclusionSimvastatin can reduce the occurrence of hydrocephalus after SAH.
