Objective To understand the equity and influencing factors of maternal health service utilization in Changning District, Shanghai. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey among mothers of children aged 1 to 1.5 years old who received health services from the child health care clinics and EPI clinics of 10 community health service centers in Changning District, Shanghai from March to April 2022. Count data was expressed by frequency and percentage. Chi-square analysis, binomial logistic regression analysis, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze fairness-related factors. Rate difference, rate ratio and concentration index were used to represent fairness. Results A total of 696 subjects were investigated, with an average age of (33.35±4.76) years. There were statistically significant differences in service utilization among women with different household registrations only in early pregnancy registration (χ2=11.026, P=0.001) and postpartum visits (χ2=4.989, P=0.026). Women with a career showed differently in folic acid supplement (χ2=6.247, P=0.012), early pregnancy registration (χ2=12.989, P=0.002), physical examination in 42 days postpartum (χ2=4.446, P=0.035) and postpartum contraception (χ2=4.061, P=0.044), and the differences were statistically significant. Women with different monthly family income had a statistically significant difference in pre-pregnancy examination (χ2=8.977, P=0.030) and postpartum visit (χ2=16.114, P=0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between women with maternity insurance or not in the early pregnancy registration (χ2=10.576, P=0.001) and physical examination in 42 days postpartum (χ2=8.166, P=0.004). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that occupation (OR=2.616, 95% CI: 1.142-5.990) and maternity insurance (OR=4.490, 95% CI: 1.992~10.120) affected the utilization of service in early pregnancy registration. The monthly household income (OR=0.278, 95% CI: 0.124-0.625) affected the utilization of services in postpartum visit. At the same time, the monthly household income (10,000-19,999: OR=0.286, 95% CI: 0.090-0.907; ≥30,000: OR=0.180, 95% CI: 0.041-0.801) also affected the utilization of service in physical examination in 42 days postpartum. Conclusion The equity of maternal health care service utilization overall is good in central area in Shanghai, but there is still room for improvement. It is necessary to strengthen community mobilization, propagandize maternal health services, and expand the coverage of maternity insurance to improve the equity of maternal health service utilization and provide equal access to maternity health services.

Objective To explore the mechanism of IgA nephropathy(IgAN)caused by multi-glycosides of Tripterygium wilfordii(GTW)through the regulation of Silent information regulatory factor 1(SIRT 1)/nuclear transcription factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf 2)/antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase 1(HO-1)signaling pathway.Methods Forty-five male SD rats were selected and randomly divided into two groups:the blank group(n=9)and the model group(n=36).In addition to the blank group,the BSA+CCl4+LPS group was used.At the end of 12 weeks,two rats were randomly selected for verification,and the model was successfully established.The 34 model rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the model group(n=10),prednisone group(n=12),and GTW group(n=12).Urine,blood and kidney tissues were harvested 4 weeks after drug administration.Urinary erythrocyte number,24-h urinary protein quantification(24 h-UTP),alanine transaminase(ALT),serum albumin(ALB),urea nitrogen(BUN),and blood creatinine(SCr)were performed for each group;the protein expression of SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1 and PINK1 was detected by Western blotting analysis;real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)detection of SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1 and PINK1 mRNA expression in rat kidney tissue;and detection of IgA deposition in the renal mesangial area by immunofluorescence.Kidney histopathological changes were observed in all the rats by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Results The results compared with those in the blank group,the urinary red blood cell count and 24 h-UTP,ALT,BUN,and SCr levels were significantly greater(P<0.01);The ALB level was significantly lower(P<0.01);renal tissue SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1,PINK1 protein and mRNA expression were significantly lower(P<0.01);IgA deposition in the mesentery was obvious;renal pathological damage was severe;and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with those in the model group,urinary red blood cell counts and 24 h-UTP,ALT,BUN,and SCr levels in the prednisone and GTW groups were significantly lower (P<0.01);ALB levels were significantly greater (P<0.01);SIRT1,Nrf2,HO-1,PINK1 protein and mRNA expression were significantly greater (P<0.01);IgA deposition in the mesangial area was reduced,and renal pathology was improved,with statistically significant difference. Conclusions GTW may alleviate oxidative stress injury,protect renal function,and improve renal injury by activating the SIRT 1/Nrf 2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the effect of Shenqi Dihuang decoction(SQDH)on henoch-schonlein pur-pura nephritis(HSPN)rats by regulating AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 mediated ferroptosis and the possible mech-anism.Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divid-ed into a control group(Control),HSPN group,SQDH low-dose group(SQDH-L,5.4 g·kg-1),SQDH high-dose group(SQDH-H,21.6 g·kg-1),and SQDH high-dose+AMPK inhibitor group(SQDH-H+CC,20 mg·kg-1),with six rats in each group.Except for the control group,all other groups of rats were injected intraperitoneally with ovalbumin and complete Freund's adjuvant to establish HSPN rat models.After the successful construction of the model,each group of rats was orally administered with the cor-responding dosage or physiological saline once a day for five weeks.HE staining was used to observe the his-topathological changes in renal tissues;immunohisto-chemistry(IHC)was employed to detect the deposition of IgA and IgG in renal tissues;serum biochemical pa-rameters of renal function and urinary protein levels were measured;commercial assay kits were utilized to determine oxidative stress markers and Fe2+levels in renal tissues;Western blot analysis was performed to assess ferroptosis-related proteins and the protein ex-pression of the AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway in renal tissues.Results Compared with the control group,the HSPN group showed significant pathological damage in kidney tissue,with significantly increased scores,increased deposition of IgA and IgG in kidney tissue,decreased serum total protein(TP)and albu-min(ALB),and average increases in serum creatinine(Cre),urea nitrogen(BUN),and urinary protein levels(P<0.05).The levels of MDA,ROS,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein expression in the kidney tissue sig-nificantly increased,while SOD activity,SLC7A11,GPX4,p-AMPK/AMPK,Sirt1,and Nrf2 protein ex-pression significantly decreased(P<0.05).Com-pared with the HSPN group,the pathological damage to renal tissue was reduced,IgA and IgG deposition in renal tissue decreased,TP and ALB decreased,Cre,BUN,and urinary protein levels were all reduced(P<0.05),and the levels of MDA,ROS,Fe2+,and ACSL4 protein expression in renal tissue were signifi-cantly reduced in each dose group of SQDH rats.SOD activity,SLC7A11,GPX4,p-AMPK/AMPK,Sirt1,and Nrf2 protein expression significantly increased(P<0.05).Compared with the SQDH-H group,the AMPK inhibitor CC could inhibit the AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway induced ferroptosis and reverse the protective effect of SQDH on renal injury in HSPN rats.Conclusions SQDH can improve renal injury in HSPN rats,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to in-hibit ferroptosis.
