Objective To investigate the risk factors of postpartum haemorrhage(PPH) in placenta previa. Methods A retrospective analysis of 136 cases with placenta previa from Jun.1996 to Dec. 2000 was performed. Results The incidence of placenta previa was 1.24%(136/10967) and the rate of postpartum haemorrhage was 22.06%(30/136). The associated factors of postpartum haemorrhage in placenta previa were history of multiple abortions (more than twice) , previous cesa rean section, elder age, type of placenta previa, no prenatal check, prenatal bleeding and other complications. PPH might happen when the high risk factor score was more than 4. Conclusions The relative factors of postpartum haemorrhage in placenta previa are abortions more than twice, previous cesarean section, older age, types of placenta previa, absence of prenatal check, antepartum hemorrhage and other complications. We can predict PPH by high risk factor score.

Objective To analyze and summarize the characteristics of Dyskeratosis congenita(DC)in Chinese children,so as to provide reference for early diagnosis and reasonable prevention and treatment of DC.Methods The data collected from 43 cases with DC in the domestic literature in recent 10 years,as well as the clinical data of 2 cases with DC treated at Tongji Hospital,Medical School,Tongji University,and a total of 45 cases with DC were analyzed and compared with those reported in the literatures of foreign countries.Results Based on the detailed data of 2 typical cases at Tongji Hospital,Medical School,Tongji University,and the data of 45 cases in China were summarized,so the major differences in the main characteristics of DC between Chinese Children and the foreigners were as follows:(1)Onset were earlier(mean age 4.5 years,median age of 3 years),but the diagnosis was delayed(mean age of 17.9 years,median age of 18 years).(2)The presence of skin pigmentation,nail lesions and mucosal leukoplakia,such as the proportion of the complete DC triad was higher(42/45 cases,93.3％).(3)There was an earlier onset of hematopoietic suppression(mean age 5.6 years).(4)Telomerase related gene mutation types were relatively minor,DKC1(7 cases)and TINF2(6 cases)were reported in recent years,and no other type of mutation was found.(5)Effective therapy of hematopoietic reconstitution was administered in 2 cases after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).The effective rates were about 70％(7/10 cases)in treating bone marrow failure with low dose androgen and low dose glucocorticoid.Conclusions DC is very common in infants in China,the clinical manifestations of triad are more typical,but the age of diagnosis was significantly delayed.Improving the understanding of DC and combination with the detection of related gene mutation may improve the early diagnosis rate and clinical efficacy with allo-HSCT or effective drug maintenance therapy,and also provide reference for propitious familial eugenics and prenatal examination.

(2)In protein levels, HLA-G were 0. 20 ±0. 15, 0. 75 ±0. 12, 0. 76 ±0. 21 in transfection group, negative control group and blank control group, respectively. There was significant difference between transfection group and negative control group ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), whereas there was no significant difference between negative control group and blank control group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The efficiencies of down-regulated of HLA-G were (81. 1 ± 14.4)%, ( 18.0 ± 7.7)%, 0 in transfection group, negative control group and blank control group respectively. ( 3 ) The invasive number of transfection group, negative control group and blank control group were 57 ± 38,364 ± 79 and 260 ± 84, respectively, with a significant difference between transfection group and negative control group (P ＜ 0. 01 ). There was no significant difference between negative control group and blank control group ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). ( 4 ) The p-p38MAPK/p38MAPK values of the HLA-G transfection group, negative control group and blank control group were 0. 74 ±0.04, 0. 47 ± 0. 09 and 0. 36 ± 0. 21, respectively. HLA-G transfection group was significantly different compared with the other two groups( P ＜0. 01 ). (5)Without or with SB203580, the p-p38MAPK/ p38MAPK values of the HLA-G transfection group were 0. 89 ± 0. 09 and 0. 16 ± 0. 04, the values of negative control group and blank control group were 0.76 ±0.08, 0. 14 ±0.03 and 0.51 ±0.05, 0.03 ±0.01, respectively. There was significant difference between without SB203580 and with SB203580 ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). (6)Without or with SB203580, the invasive number of transfection group were 51 ± 13 and 90 ± 21 ,respectively,which was significantly different ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The invasive number of negative control group and blank control group were 290 ± 52, 298 ± 33 and 290 ± 73, 264 ± 64, respeczively, which was no significant difference between without SB203580 and with SB203580 (P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusions HLA-G gene may regulate invasion of trophoblast-derived cell line HTR-8/SVneo via p38MAPK signaling pathway. The lower expression of HLA-G in trophoblast cells may lead to the occurrence of pathologic pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of microRNA-205 (miRNA-205) on proliferation of laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2. METHOD: The expressions of miRNA-205 in 27 cases laryngeal carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR, the expression of PTEN protein was detected by Western blot. The expressions of PTEN were detected by Western blot after miRNA-205 inhibitor or miRNA-205 mimics was transfected into Hep-2 cells and Hep-2 cells proliferation was measured by CCK-8 kit. RESULT: The expression level of miRNA-205 was significantly higher in laryngeal carcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.01), and the expression of PTEN protein was lower in laryngeal carcinoma tissues than in adjacent normal tissues (P < 0.01). The proliferation rate of Hep-2 cells was decreased significantly and the expression of PTEN protein in Hep-2 cells was increased significantly after miRNA-205 inhibitor was transfected into (P < 0.01), and the proliferation rate of Hep-2 cells was increased significantly and the expression of PTEN protein in Hep-2 cells was decreased significantly after miRNA-205 mimics was transfected into (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION miRNA-205 might promote the proliferation of Hep-2 cells by regulating the expression of PTEN.

Objective To investigate the influence of gestational weight gain (GWG) on the incidence of macrosomia, and to establish the reference ranges of GWG based on the incidence of macrosomia. Methods A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted. Totally, 112485 women were recruited from 39 hospitals in 14 provinces in China. Totally, 61149 cases were eligible with singleton pregnancies and non-premature deliveries. The associations of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), GWG, newborn gender and gestational diabetes with macrosomia were analyzed with logistic regression. The normal GWG ranges were calculated in all maternal BMI subgroups, based on the normal incidence of macrosomia was set as the range of 5.0% to 10.0%. Results In this study, the incidence of macrosomia was 7.46%(4563/611149). The macrosociam was positive related with maternal height, delivery week,pre-pregnancy BMI, GWG, gestational diabetes, primipara, and male babies significantly (P<0.05), based on unadjusted and adjusted logestic regression. The normal range of GWG 20.0-25.0, 10.0-20.0, 0-10.0 and 0-5.0 kg in subgroups of underweight (pre-pregnancy BMI<18.5 kg/m2), normal (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (≥30.0 kg/m2), respectively. Conclusion The reference range of GWG in China based on the incidence of macrosomia is established.

Objective　To study the induction of apoptosis and the regulation of apoptosis related genes bcl-2, bax and ICE expression by wild-type p53 gene. Methods　A p53 gene recombinant adenovirus vector, ad CMV p53, was transfected into human bladder cancer cell HTB9. The level of bax mRNA was quantified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The content of Bcl-2, Bax and ICE protein were detected by immunochemical staining. Agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA、 terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and flow cytometric technique were used for analysis of apoptosis. Results　Introduction of wild-type p53 could increase the mRNA and protein level of bax, and could induce apoptosis in HTB9 cells with the apoptotic percentage of 50.4%. At the same time, the introduction also increased the protein level of ICE, but that of Bcl-2 decreased.Conclusion　It's very possible that wild-type p53 gene induced apoptosis by regulating the expression of apoptosis-related genes including bax, bcl-2 and ICE.
