ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of Yupingfeng San (YPFS) on high-mobility group box protein 1 (HMGB1)-induced angiogenesis in liver cancer. MethodsAn orthotopic liver cancer model was established in 30 C57BL/6 mice. The mice were randomly divided into a model group, YPFS low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (20, 30, 40 g·kg-1, respectively), a positive control group (sorafenib, 10 mg·kg-1), and a normal control group. After 14 days of medication, tumor and adjacent tissues were harvested. Tumor inhibition rates were calculated based on tumor weight. Microvascular density was determined via immunohistochemistry. HMGB1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression levels were determined using immunofluorescence. An HMGB1-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation model was established, and cell proliferation was evaluated by a methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. HUVECs were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group (HMGB1 800 μg·L-1), along with YPFS low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (HMGB1 800 μg·L-1 + YPFS 10, 30, 50 g·L-1, respectively). HUVEC migration ability was evaluated via a scratch assay and a Trans well chamber assay. Tube formation ability was detected by a tube formation assay. Microvascular sprouting ability was evaluated by an aortic ring assay. Furthermore, RAGE/MEK1/2/ERK1/2 pathway-related protein expression in HUVECs was measured using Western blot (WB). ResultsCompared with the model group, all three doses of YPFS significantly reduced tumor weight in mice with orthotopic liver cancer (P<0.01), with inhibition rates of 31.49% ± 8.27%, 49.60% ± 3.77%, and 56.81% ± 9.70%, respectively. Also, YPFS significantly decreased microvascular density in tumor and adjacent tissues (P<0.05), as well as VEGF and HMGB1 expression levels (P<0.01). Compared with the blank group, HMGB1 promoted HUVEC proliferation, migration, tube formation, and microvascular sprouting in aortic rings (P<0.05). After YPFS administration, the HMGB1-induced proliferation rate, migration rate, number of tube formations, and microvascular sprouting in aortic rings were significantly reduced compared with the model group (P<0.01). Additionally, YPFS downregulated receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 (MEK1/2), phosphorylated MEK1/2 (p-MEK1/2), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), and phosphorylated ERK1/2 (p-ERK1/2) protein expression in HMGB1-induced HUVECs (P<0.01). ConclusionYPFS exerts anti-angiogenic effects against HMGB1 induction by suppressing the RAGE/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting liver cancer tumor growth.

Objective::To investigate the efficacy of in-phase and quadrature (IQ) demodulation in electronic fetal heart rate monitoring (EFM) to reduce false reports of fetal heart rate (FHR) doubling or halving.Methods::This is a prospective cohort study. A total of 263 full-term pregnant women who delivered at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital between August 2019 and July 2020 were prospectively enrolled in the study. FHR monitoring began when the cervix was dilated to 2-3 cm and continued until delivery. Raw fetal Doppler audio signals and internal and external cardiotocography curves from internal electrode monitoring, EFM with conventional demodulation (external), and EFM with IQ demodulation (external) were acquired to compare FHR doubling and halving time. In cohort 1, FHR was compared between IQ demodulation and conventional demodulation. In cohort 2, FHR was compared between IQ demodulation, conventional demodulation, and internal FHR monitoring. Count data were statistically analyzed using the Chi-squared test, and measurement data were statistically analyzed using t-test for correlation coefficients, and Bland-Altman analysis for concordance ranges. Results::To compare IQ demodulation and conventional demodulation, 225 pregnant women were monitored for a total of 835,870 seconds. The beat-to-beat interval of FHRs in raw fetal Doppler audio signals was used as the reference. The results showed a doubling time of 3401 seconds (0.407%, 3401/835,870) and a halving time of 2918 seconds (0.349%, 2918/835,870) with conventional demodulation, compared to 241 seconds (0.029%, 241/835,870) and 589 seconds (0.070%, 589/835,870), respectively, with IQ demodulation. IQ demodulation reduced FHR doubling by approximately 93% (3160/3401) and FHR halving by approximately 80% (2329/2918) compared to conventional demodulation ( P < 0.01). Conclusion::EFM with IQ demodulation significantly reduces false FHR doubling and halving, with an efficacy similar to that of internal FHR monitoring.

Human coronavirus (HCoV) causes potentially fatal respiratory disease. Pregnancy is a physiological state that predisposes women to viral infection. In this review, we aim to present advances in the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment in HCoV in pregnancy. We retrieved information from the Pubmed database up to June 2020, using various search terms and relevant words, including coronaviruses, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, 2019 coronavirus disease, and pregnancy. Both basic and clinical studies were selected. We found no evidence that pregnant women are more susceptible to HCoV infection or that those with HCoV infection are more prone to developing severe pneumonia. There is also no confirmed evidence of vertical mother-to-child transmission of HcoV infection during maternal HCoV infection. Those diagnosed with infection should be promptly admitted to a negative-pressure isolation ward, preferably in a designated hospital with adequate facilities and multi-disciplinary expertise to manage critically ill obstetric patients. Antiviral treatment has been routinely used to treat pregnant women with HCoV infection. The timing and mode of delivery should be individualized, depending mainly on the clinical status of the patient, gestational age, and fetal condition. Early cord clamping and temporary separation of the newborn for at least 2 weeks is recommended. All medical staff caring for patients with HCoV infection should use personal protective equipment. This review highlights the advances in pathogenesis, maternal-fetal outcome, maternal-fetal transmission, diagnosis and treatment in HCoV including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and coronavirus disease 2019 in pregnancy.
