Objective To discuss the impact of hyperthyroidism on pregnancy outcome.Methods Clinical data of 80 pregnancy patients with hyperthyroidism(hyperthyroidism group)were retrospectively analyzed,in accordance with the norms of treatment during pregnancy is divided into treatment group(61 cases)and untreated group(19 cases);At the same time,in accordance with the ratio of 1:2 160 cases of healthy pregnant women were randomly selected as control group.childbirth,the maternal and perinatal outcome in three groups were compared.Results Graves disease group the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension 10.0%,3.8% incidence of heart failure,cesarean section rate of 61.4%,7.6% incidence of prematurity,asphyxia incidence of 7.6%,a low incidence of 3.8%,the mortality rate 3.8%,and 1.3% of the control group,41.3%,1.3%,0.6%,0,0,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05),the incidence of neonatal abnormalities in two groups is not different(P＞0.05);the treatment group of diseases of pregnancy-induced hypertension,heart failure,premature birth,asphyxia,such as the incidence were 3.3%,3.3%,3.3%,0,0 mortality,with non-governing group of 31.6%,15.8%,21.1%,15.8%,10.5%.The differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05),and a low incidence of the two groups,the cesarean section rate,incidence of deformities such as no difference.Conclusion Hyperthyroidism can increase the incidence of pregnancy complications,and standardize the treatment can improve pregnancy outcome.

Objective To investigate the association between diet during pregnancy and hypertensive dis-order complicating pregnancy ( HDCP ) , so as to provide a theoretical basis guiding appropriate diet during pregnancy.Methods Using 1∶2 matched case-control study method, we selected pregnant women delivered in Anhui Women and Child Health Care Hospital from January to December 2014, and interviewed them with food frequency questionnaire.The relationship between intake frequency of various food and HDCP was analyzed. Results A total of 543 women were included in this study, including 181 cases and 362 controls.Mann-Whit-ney U test results showed that the frequencies of meat and fish, eggs, beans, nuts, milk, and pickled food con-sumption were significantly different between the cases and the controls (all P<0.05);while the differences in cereals, vegetables, and fruits consumption frequency between cases and controls were not statistically signifi-cant (all P>0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that higher intake frequencies of beans (OR=0.746, 95%CI:0.645-0.862), eggs (OR=0.789, 95%CI:0.693-0.898), and milk (OR=0.822, 95% CI:0.725-0.931) were associated with lower risk of HDCP; in contrast, higher intake fre-quency of pickled food was associated with higher risk of HDCP (OR=1.190, 95% CI:1.054-1.344). Conclusions Beans, eggs, and milk may be protective factors for HDCP, while pickled food may be risk fac-tor of HDCP.Diet during pregnancy should be appropriate and following scientific guidelines.

Recent studies suggest that glial cells play an impor-tant role in nervous system. Like astrocytes in the central nervous system,satellite glial cells( SGCs) also participate in the physio-logical and pathological processes of the peripheral nervous sys-tem. SGCs affect neuronal functions through neuro-glial interac-tions. In this review,we summarize the current understanding of how SGCs affect the function of neurons.

Objective:To explore the grey matter concentration in individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression.Methods:Thirty individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression and thirty age-and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this study,and they were subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination.The grey matter concentration differences were compared between the two groups by using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) following MRI.Results:Individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression showed significantly lower grey matter density in bilateral insular,left cerebellum,right supplementary motor area,and left precentral gyrus than those in the healthy controls,while the healthy controls showed significantly lower grey density in the right inferior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,and left cuneus than those in the individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression.Conclusion:Structural brain abnormalities in individuals with cognitive vulnerability to depression might be the neural basis for cognitive vulnerability to depression.

Objective To examine the effects of a functional polymorphism of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene on spontaneous brain activity in healthy male adolescents.Methods Resting-state fMRI was performed on 31 healthy male adolescents with the low-activity MAOA genotype (MAOA-L) and 25 healthy male adolescents with the high-activity MAOA genotype (MAOA-H).The amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) of the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal was calculated using REST software,and was compared between two genotype groups.The region ROIs showed significant difference.The ALFF data in ROIs were related to BIS scores.Results Compared with the MAOA-H group,the MAOA-L group showed a significant decrease of ALFF (P＜0.001) in the pons (MNI coordinates:-6,-19,-23;6,-16,-17;-6,-25,-32).In addition,the BIS scores were positively correlated with ALFF in pons in the MAOA-L group (r=0.398,P=0.02),but not in the MAOA-H group.Conclusions There exists relevance between the polymorphism of MAOA and the spontaneous brain activity in pons.And the lower activity of spontaneous brain activity in pons may be a key risk factor for impulsivity and aggression.

Objective To investigate the functional characteristic of adolescents with conduct disorder (CD) in the resting state.Methods Resting-sate fMRI (rs-fMRI) scans were administered to 28 male adolescents with CD and 28 age-,gender-and IQ-matched healthy controls (HCs).The rs-fMRI data were subjected to amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) analysis and ALFF values were compared between the two groups.Additionally,the region ROIs showed significant difference and correlation analysis was conducted between ALFF in each ROI and Barratt's scores.Results ① Compared to HCs,the CD group showed decreased ALFF (P＜0.005) bilaterally in the superior frontal gyrus,right middle frontal gyrus,right posterior cingulate gyrus,right inferior parietal lobule (MNI coordinates:-21,48,27;21,24,48;36,24,33 6,-36,39;48,-45,57 respectively) as well as increased ALFF (P＜O.005) in the left thalamus and left lingual gyrus (MNI coordinates:-15,-27,-3;-18,-87,-12 respectively).② There was no significant correlation between ALFF and Barratt's scores in ROIs.Conclusion The results suggest that CD is associated with abnormal intrinsic brain activity,mainly in frontal-parietal-occipital-limbic cortices,which is related to emotional and cognitive processing and behavioral functions.

Objective To analyze the antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical isolates in Shanghai Xinhua Hospital Chongming Branch affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine , a member of China Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System, during 2015, for the purpose to facilitate rational antimicrobial therapy. Methods Strain identification?and?susceptibility?testing?were?carried?out?for?the?clinical?isolates?using?MicroScan?WalkAway?96?Automated?Systems and Kirby-Bauer method. Results In 2015, a total of 1815 isolates were collected, including gram-negative bacteria (73.2 %) and gram-positive bacteria (26.8 %). The top three frequently isolated species were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. ESBL-producing strains were found in 36.3 % of the Escherichia coli isolates, 12.6 % of the Klebsiella (K. pneumoniae and K. oxytoca) isolates, and 28.0 % of the Proteus mirabilis isolates. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant strains was 0.69 % in Enterobacteriaceae isolates. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strain was 29.1 % in S. aureus, and 61.4 % in coagulase-negative Staphylococcus isolates. No more than 15 % of the Enterobacteriaceae isolates and no more than 20 % of the P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter isolates were resistant to carbapenems. No vancomycin-or linezolid-resistant strains were found in Enterococcus or Staphylococcus. Conclusions Antibiotic-resistant clinical isolates are a serious threat for clinical antimicrobial treatment. We should pay more attention to such urgent situation and rational use of antibiotics.

Objective Looking into the causes of self-regeneration obstacle of the wild Phellodendron amurense population in order to provide the reference for the sutdy of the germination mechanism. MethodsThe germination and seedling growth were observed by taking cabbage, wheat, and P. amurense as the tested objects and the sarcocarp and seed of P. amurense were extracted by alcohol and ethyl ether. Results The extract in sarcocarp and seed of P. amurense could decrease the germination rate of cabbage, wheat, and P. amurense seed, also inhibit the seedling growth in different levels. The inhibitory effect was getting stronger and stronger following the concentration increased. The ethyl ether extract showed the best inhibitory effect, while the water extract had no significant effect. The embryo, emdosperm, and cotyledon of P. amurense were extracted by distilled water, and among them the cotyledon had the strongest inhibition. Conclusion There are some substances with the better inhibitory effect in the sarcocarp and seed of P. amurense, which can inhibit the growth of itself and other plants significantly. The substance with the inhibitory effect exits mainly in cotyledon.

Background and purpose: Plumbagin is the main active components of traditional Chinese medicine of plumbago zeylanica. The present studies show that plumbagin has a killing effect on tumor cells. This study aimed to investigate the function and primary mechanism of plumbagin on invasion and metastasis of human liver cancer SK-hep-1 cells. Methods:With the treatment of plumbagin in vitro, cell proliferation and adhesion of SK-hep-1 cells were detected by MTS staining, cell cycle of SK-hep-1 cells were detected by lfow cytometry, the self-renewal and propagation abilities of SK-Hep-1 cells were conducted by colony formation assay , invasion in cells were performed using transwell invasion assay, and the p21 and MMP-2/9 mRNA levels were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Results:With the treatment of plumbagin, SK-Hep-1 cells proliferation was decreased with plumbagin concentration-dependency and the IC50 value of plumbagin in SK-Hep-1 cells was 22.04 mmol/L. The colony formation ability of SK-Hep-1 cells was decreased and the percentage of cells in G0/G1 phase was increased in a dose-dependent manner, as compared to control. The cell adhesion and invasion abilities were decreased. The real-time RT-PCR showed that p21 mRNA expression was increased and the MMP-2/9 mRNA was decreased. Conclusion:Plumbagin could suppress the proliferation and invasiveness of human liver cancer SK-hep-1 cells in vitro, and these effects may be by up-regulation of p21 and down-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9.
