Journal of Preventive Medicine 2023;35(2):162-165
Objective:
To investigate the quality of life and its influencing factors among patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide insights into the improvements in the quality of life among patients with GDM.
Methods:
GDM patients admitted to Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hangzhou First People's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University Medical School from June 2021 to June 2022 were recruited. Participants' demographics, diagnosis and treatment, sleep quality, depression and social support level were collected. Patients' quality of life was evaluated using the Quality of Life Scale for Pregnant Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, and the factors affecting the quality of life were identified among patients with GDM using a multivariable linear regression model.
Results:
A total of 300 questionnaires were allocated, and 284 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.67%. The respondents had a mean age of (32.81±4.93) years, and the mean scores for the quality of life was (92.63±14.10) points. Multivariable linear regression analysis identified depression (β'=-0.293), sleep disorder (β'=-0.177), insulin therapy (β'=-0.316), regular exercise (β'=0.272) and social support level (medium: β'=0.153; high: β'=0.381) as factor affecting the quality of life among GDM patients.
Conclusions
GDM patients have a low quality of life. Depression, sleep disorders, insulin therapy, and lack of exercises may cause a decline in the quality of life among GDM patients, and strong social support facilitates the improvements in the quality of life among GDM patients.

OBJECTIVE CYP2 family including CYP2C and CYP2J is the predominant arachidonic acid (AA) epoxygenase, and the epoxidation of AA produces four regioisomeric cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-EET). Human CYP2J2 is one of the main CYP isoforms expressed in brain, but CYP2C8 was present at a low level. The aim of this study is to investigate the roles of brain CYP2J in Parkinson disease. METHODS Rats received the right-unilaterally injection with concentrated LV-CYP2J3 or LV-EGFP in the substantia nigra (SN) at 3 d before LPS or 6-OHDA treatment. The animals were tested for rotational behavior with the dopaminergic agonist apomorphine dissolved in sterile saline at 14 and 21 d after LPS injection. The influence of CYP2J-dependent derivative, 14,15-EET, on the genes related with oxidative stress was assayed in SH-SY5Y cells. RESULTS CYP2J overexpression or 14,15-EET treatment significantly increased the levels of SOD1, CAT, GPX1, NRF2 and KEAP1 in neurons. TLR4- MyD88 signaling pathway was involved the down- regulation of CYP2J by LPS. The binding of p-CREB with the promoter of CYP2J was inhibited by the LPS treatment. The loss of dopami?nergic neurons in the right SN induced by LPS or 6- OHDA was significantly decreased by CYP2J3 transfection at 21 d after LPS injection. Compared with LPS or 6-OHDA group, the number of the rotation of rats was decreased by 42.6% and 60.7% by CYP2J3 transfection at 14 d after LPS or 6-OHDA injection;meanwhile, the rotation number was decreased by 12.7% and 21.3% at 21 d. The accumulation of alpha synuclein induced by LPS was significantly decreased by CYP2J3 transfection. The mRNA levels of SOD1, CAT, GPX1, NRF2 and KEAP1 in SN were decreased by LPS, which was attenuated by the injection of LV-CYP2J3. CONCLUSION Brain CYP2J can play a protective role in the damage of the inflammation and oxidative stress to the dopaminergic neurons. Brain CYP2J- dependent derivatives from AA may have therapeutic effects in Parkinson disease via the up- regulation of the antioxidant system in neurons.

Objective:To investigate the predicting value of European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation ( EuroSCORE ) and sino system for coronary operative risk evaluation ( SinoSCORE ) in early quality of life of patients after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG).Methods:A total of 218 consecu-tive patients who underwent CABG from March 2010 to January 2013 were evaluated with both systems before operation .Health related quality of life ( QoL) was estimated by using 36-item short form health survey ( SF-36) preoperatively and postoperatively in order to evaluate the predicting value of the two sys -tems in early post-operative QoL.Calibration was evaluated by Hosmer-l,emeshow goodness-of-fit test. Discrimination was tested by determining the area under the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve .Results:There was no significant difference between the accumulation of the EuroSCORE and SinoSCORE in the all patients (t=-0.904, P=0.368), When using Wilcoxon test on life quality in the preoperative and postoperative patients respectively ,the data showed that the quality of life improved significantly in various dimensions of the postoperative patients (Z=-2.886, P<0.001).Except for bodily pain (BP) and mental health (MH), statistically significant correlation was found between the preoperative risk evaluation scores and the postoperative QoL scores (r:-0.203 to -0.493, P<0.05). Logistic regression analyses indicated that both the scores emerged as the independent predictor for a relatively worse QoL ( OR>1 , P<0 .05 ) .Furthermore , the EuroSCORE predicted the outcome with a higher OR.For SinoSCORE the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was significant (P=0.628) and the area under ROC curve was 0.754.For the EuroSCORE the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was significant (P=0.538) and the area under ROC curve was 0.854.Conclusion:Both EuroSCORE and SinoSCORE could be viewed as a predictor for several aspects of postoperative QoL , while EuroSCORE might have a greater predicting value.

Objective:To study the drug resistance patterns of Bordetella pertussis in vitro, and to know the clinical characteristics of pediatric pertussis and evaluation the treatment outcomes, which may provide references for experiential diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods:Nasopharyngeal swabs of the hospitalized children with suspected pertussis in Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine in 2017 were collected for culture. And the clinical data of the children were collected. The strains were identified by pertussis-specific antiserum agglutination and finally confirmed by mass spectrometry. The drug sensitivity test was performed using the E-test method. The efficacy of therapy with antibiotic was evaluated after two weeks of treatment. Statistical analysis was performed with Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. Results:Of 1 029 children, 211 (20.5%) nasopharyngeal swabs were positive for Bordetella pertussis culture, and the isolation rate of the specimens was highest (31.2%, 45/144) in July. Of the 211 pertussis patients, 105 (49.8%) were male and the age were 3.8 (2.2, 6.9) months, 114 (54.0%) were not vaccinated with pertussis diphtheria tetanus mixed vaccine and 192 (91.0%) were prescribed with previous antibiotics. There were 142 (67.3%) children from families with two or more than two children, and 136 (95.8%) of which were the youngest siblings. One hundred and fifty-nine (75.4%) patients had paroxysmal cough and 61 (28.9%) had whooping. The white blood cell counts were higher than 20×10 9/L in 94 (44.5%) patients, and the lymphocyte counts were higher than 10×10 9/L in 97 (46.0%) of patients. The drug susceptibility results showed that 138 (65.4%) strains were against erythromycin, azithromycin and clindamycin with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)>256.000 mg/L. The MIC 90 of the isolates to ampicillin, ceftriaxone, cefoperazone/sulbactam, meropenem and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole were 0.190 mg/L, 0.190 mg/L, 0.094 mg/L, 0.094 mg/L and 0.750 mg/L, respectively. All strains had a MIC of <0.016 mg/L for piperacillin/tazobactam. After treatment, symptoms were improved in 195(92.4%) patients when they were discharged from hospital. Seventy-six (57.1%) children whose symptoms did not improve after seven-day treatment with macrolides, were prescribed with other antibiotics or other antibiotic with macrolides in combination. Compared with the patients treated with macrolides, more patients treated with cefoperazone/sulbactam or piperacillin/tazobactam had negative nasopharyngeal culture results after two weeks of therapy (46/48(95.8%) vs 46/57(80.7%)), or on day seven (45/46(97.8%) vs 39/47(83.0%)) and on day 14 (45/45(100.0%) vs 41/47(87.2%)) since discharged. The differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=5.50, 5.86 and 6.15, respectively, P=0.019, 0.015 and 0.013, respectively). Conclusions:The majority of children with pertussis do not have whooping, and the resistant rate of Bordetella pertussis to macrolides is high. Further study is needed to evaluate the feasibility and reasonability of cefoperazone/sulbactam and piperacillin/tazobactam in treating pediatric pertussis caused by macrolides-resistant Bordetella pertussis.

OBJECTIVE Neuroinflammation plays a critical role in neurodegenerative disorders, although the inflammation may not the initiating factor. Parkinson disease (PD) is characterized patho?logically by the accumulation of alpha synuclein (α-syn) and the loss of the dopamine (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN), which has been reported to be induced by the stereotaxic injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to the SN region in rodents. This study is to investigate the therapeutic benefit of the inhibition of miR-873 in PD. METHODS Rats received the right-unilaterally injection with concentrated LV-sponge or LV-EGFP 3 d before LPS treatment, 7 or 14 d after LPS treatment. The animals were tested for rotational behavior with the dopaminergic agonist apomorphine dissolved in sterile saline at 21 d after LPS injection. The regulation of miR-873 on the genes related with cholesterol transport and inflammation was assayed in SH-SY5Y cells and U251 cells. RESULTS TLR4-MyD88 signaling pathway was involved the regulation of miR-873 by LPS. The luciferase assay showed that HMGCR, ABCA1 and A20 were down- stream genes of miR- 873. The transfection of miR- 873 decreased the cholesterol levels in cell membrane, but increased in lysosome in SH-SY5Y cells. Compared with the control SH-SY5Y cells, cholesterol levels were higher in lysosome with α-synuclein overexpression or LPS treatment. The transfection of miR-873 increased the α-syn levels in lysosome in cells with α-synuclein overexpression. The loss of dopaminergic neuorns induced by LPS was significantly respectively decreased by 22.8%, 35.6% and 57% after the inhibition of miR-873 at 3 d before LPS treatment, 7 or 14 d after LPS treatment. Compared with LPS-treated group, the number of the rotation of rats was decreased by 60.4%, 33.5% and 13.2% after the inhibition of miR-873 at 3 d before LPS treatment, 7 or 14 d after LPS treatment. The inhibition of miR-873 significantly decreased accumulation of α-syn. The mRNA levels of HMGCR, ABCA1 and A20 in SN were decreased by LPS treatment, which was attenuated by the injection of LV- sponge. CONCLUSION The selective regulation of miR- 873 can protect the dopaminergic neurons from the LPS-induced damage. The inhibition of miR-873 can attenuate the relocation of cholesterol in lysosome and the accumulation of α-syn in neurons induced by LPS via the regulation of HMGCR, ABCA1 and A20.
