Objective : To explore the influencing factors for maternal anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy, so as to provide the evidence for the effective prevention of anemia. Methods : Data of parturients, who received prenatal care and delivered at Hangzhou Women＇s Hospital from October to December of 2019 were retrospectively collected and analyzed. The obstetric electronic medical record system of this hospital was used to collect general information of the subjects. Serum ferritin, serum vitamin B12, serum folic acid and hemoglobin were determined at the second and third trimester. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for anemia in the third trimester. Results : A total of 1 143 parturients were enrolled, with a median age of 29 ( interquartile range: 4 ) years. Among them, 1 050 cases had normal weight before pregnancy, accounting for 91.86%; 267 cases were multiparas, accounting for 23.36%; 74 cases of anemia occurred during the third trimester of pregnancy, accounting for 6.92%.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the multipara（OR=1.714,95%CI: 1.032-2.848）, iron deficiency duiring the second trimester（OR=3.301,95%CI: 1.401-7.781）, iron deficiency during the third trimester （OR=14.134,95%CI: 1.944-102.774）and folate deficiency during the third trimester（OR=2.960,95%CI: 1.295-6.766）were influencing factors for anemia during the third trimester. Conclusion Anemia during the third trimester of pregnancy is related to iron deficiency during the second and third trimesters, folic acid deficiency during the third trimester, and multipara.

Joubert syndrome is characterized by unique malformation of the cerebellar vermis. More than thirty Joubert syndrome genes have been identified, including ARL13B. However, its role in cerebellar development remains unexplored. We found that knockdown or knockout of arl13b impaired balance and locomotion in zebrafish larvae. Granule cells were selectively reduced in the corpus cerebelli, a structure homologous to the mammalian vermis. Purkinje cell progenitors were also selectively disturbed dorsomedially. The expression of atoh1 and ptf1, proneural genes of granule and Purkinje cells, respectively, were selectively down-regulated along the dorsal midline of the cerebellum. Moreover, wnt1, which is transiently expressed early in cerebellar development, was selectively reduced. Intriguingly, activating Wnt signaling partially rescued the granule cell defects in arl13b mutants. These findings suggested that Arl13b is necessary for the early development of cerebellar granule and Purkinje cells. The arl13b-deficient zebrafish can serve as a model organism for studying Joubert syndrome.

Objective To explore the role of visual oculomotor-vestibular eye balance function in the diagnosis of central and peripheral vertigo. Methods From January 2015 to June 2016,one hundred and sixty-two patients with central vertigo who were treated at Kailuan General Hospital were enrolled in the study, including 124 males and 38 females, aged ( 64. 09 ± 10. 98 ) years old; there were 166 cases of peripheral vertigo,75 males and 91 females,aged (52. 13±12. 20) years old. Spontaneous nystagmus test,gaze test,position test, saccade test, smooth visual tracking test, visual single-speed test, visual sinus test, swivel chair rotation- emergency stop test using infrared video nystagmus and static balance posture instrument,open-closed eye hard plate erect test, open-closed eye sponge soft bottom erect test balance function electrophysiological test were conducted. Results The detection rate of pathological spontaneous nystagmus and pathological gaze nystagmus was higher in the central vertigo group than that in the peripheral vertigo group (χ2=5. 674,16. 458,P<0. 05) . The occurrence rate of positional nystagmus was higher in peripheral vertigo group than that in central vertigo group (χ2=48. 896,P<0. 001). The abnormal rate of scanning test,stable visual tracking test,visual movement single speed and sinusoidal test,and static balance posture test were higher in the central vertigo group than those in the peripheral vertigo group (χ2 =137. 169, 166. 972, 150. 877, 150. 877, 27. 273, P<0. 001 ) , while the abnormal rate of rotating chair sudden stop test was higher in the central vertigo group than that in the peripheral vertigo group (χ2=51. 000,P<0. 001) . The abnormal results were mainly scanned underflush and slow scan in central vertigo group (χ2=103. 846,4. 296,P<0. 05),stable visual tracking curve (χ2=147. 389,4. 296,P<0. 05) in type III-IV,and the gain of nystagmus decreased unilaterally and bilaterally (χ2=47. 531,44. 477, 52. 529,53. 255,P<0. 001) . Anomalies of proprioception in reverse and vertical nystagmus and static balance posture were induced by rotating chair sudden stop test (χ2=11. 847, 23. 778, P<0. 001 ) , while peripheral vertigo group showed unilateral decrease of nystagmus gain induced by rotating chair sudden stop test. (χ2=79. 771, P < 0. 001 ) . Conclusion The patients with peripheral vertigo have obvious body position spontaneous vestibular response and vestibular oculomotor system dysfunction, while the patients with central vertigo mainly have visual and oculomotor system dysfunction,and may be accompanied by vestibular oculomotor system and vestibular spinal reflex dysfunction.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of 3 kinds of serum containing blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas on aggressive behavior,Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transduction and transcriptional activator (STAT) pathway of glioma U251 cells. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal saline group (5 mL/kg),Taohong Siwu decoction group(5.7 g/kg),Xuefu Zhuyu decoction(8.5 g/kg)and Didang decoction(2.8 g/kg),calculated by crude drug,intragastrically administrated once a day,for 10 d. 10% drug-containing serum culture medium was prepared after 2 h of last administration. After 10% drug-containing serum culture medium intervening U251 cells for 1 week,Transwell method was conducted to detect the cell invasion rate, Western blot was adopted to detect the metal matrix protease 2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2),phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)protein expression;and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA expression. RESULTS:Compared with blank serum,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction drug-containing serum can reduce cell invasion rate (P<0.05),decrease the MMP-2,MMP-9 mRNA and its protein expression, and p-JAK2,p-STAT3 protein expression in cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in above-men-tioned indexes in Taohong Siwu decoction drug-containing serum group and Didang drug-containing serum group(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:In the 3 kinds of blood-activating and stasis-eliminating TCM compound formulas,Xuefu Zhuyu decoction shows sig-nificant invasive effect on inhibiting U251 cells;the mechanism may be related to inhibiting the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and decreasing MMP-2,MMP-9 gene and protein expressions.

Intraocular pressure detection has a great significance for understanding the status of eye health, prevention and treatment of diseases such as glaucoma. Traditional intraocular pressure detection needs to be held in the hospital. It is not only time-consuming to doctors and patients, but also difficult to achieve 24 hour-continuous detection. Microminiaturization of the intraocular pressure sensor and wearing it as a contact lens, which is convenient, comfortable and noninvasive, can solve this problem because the soft contact lens with an embedded micro fabricated strain gauge allows the measurement of changes in corneal curvature to correlate to variations of intraocular pressure. We fabricated a strain gauge using micro-electron mechanical systems, and integrated with the contact lens made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) using injection molding. The experimental results showed that the sensitivity was 100. 7 µV/µm. When attached to the corneal surface, the average sensitivity of sensor response of intraocular pressure can be 125.8 µV/mm Hg under the ideal condition.

Logistics supplies are essential for normal operations of hospitals,while effective management of hospital suppliers is key to optimizing the materials supplies.An evaluation system is built for both key suppliers and standby suppliers respectively.Based on such a system,a dynamic management mechanism is built to provide long-lasting supplier incentives,for competitive selection and elimination of the suppliers.These efforts enable the hospitals to pick the best suppliers by means of systems and regulations.

Redox signal transduction, especially the oxidative modification of proein thiols, correlates with many diseases and becomes an expanding research area. However, there was rare method for quick and specific detection of protein thiols and their oxidative modification in living cells. In this article, we review the current chemical strategies for the detection and quantification of protein thiols and related cysteine oxidation. We also look into the future of the development of fluorescent probes for protein thiols and their potential application in the research of reactive cysteine proteomes and early detection of redox-related diseases.

OBJECTIVETo determine whether smoking increases the risk for developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Chinese men.

METHODSA total of 693 men with no MetS at baseline were followed for 2.9-5.5 years. Subjects were divided into nonsmokers, ex-smokers, and current smokers according to baseline smoking status.

RESULTSAfter adjusting for age, education level, alcohol intake, fasting plasma insulin, HOMA-IR index, and BMI at baseline and weight change, current smokers were dose-dependently associated with increased risk for developing new MetS compared with nonsmokers. The odds ratio (OR) was 2.131 (95% CI, 1.264, 3.592; P<0.01) for the NCEPIII definition or 3.083 (95% CI, 1.807, 5.295; P<0.01) for the JCDCG definition of MetS. Ex-smokers who had quit for ≥13 years significantly decreased the risk for developing new MetS defined by the JCDCG definition. Compared with nonsmokers, current smokers were significantly associated with increased incidence of hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C.

CONCLUSIONSmoking is a risk factor for developing MetS in Chinese men after adjusting for age, education level, alcohol intake, fasting plasma insulin, HOMA-IR, BMI, and weight change. This could be due to an increased incidence of dyslipidemia. Smoking cessation for >13 years decreased the risk for developing MetS defined by the JCDCG definition.
