Objective:To investigate the association between gestational blood pressure and neurodevelopment in 2-year-old children.Methods:Based on the"Wuhan Healthy Baby Birth Cohort", 3 754 mother-infant pairs were enrolled in this study. Based on multiple blood pressure measurements during pregnancy, the mean, cumulative, and variability of blood pressure throughout the entire pregnancy and each trimester were calculated. Blood pressure variability was evaluated using standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variability (CV), and variability independent of mean (VIM). Follow-up testing of neurodevelopment in infants and young children at the age of two was conducted to obtain the Mental Development Index (MDI) and the Psychomotor Development Index (PDI). The multivariate linear regression and generalized estimation equation were used to analyze the association between gestational blood pressure data and neurodevelopmental index.Results:The age of 3 754 pregnant women was (29.1±3.6) years, with a pre-pregnancy BMI of (20.9±2.7) kg/m2 and a gestational age of (39.3±1.2) weeks. The birth weight of 3 754 children was (3 330.9±397.7) grams, and the birth length was (50.3±1.6) centimeters. The results of the multivariate linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting for relevant confounding factors, the mean blood pressure, cumulative blood pressure, standard deviation of blood pressure, coefficient of variation of blood pressure, independent blood pressure variability of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse pressure throughout pregnancy were negatively associated with the MDI and PDI scores of 2-year-old children. The analysis results of the generalized estimation equation showed that after adjusting for relevant confounding factors, the average systolic blood pressure in the first, second, and third trimesters was negatively associated with MDI/PDI. The negative association between cumulative blood pressure and MDI/PDI was only found in the first trimester. The negative association between blood pressure variation during pregnancy and MDI/PDI was mainly concentrated in the second and third trimesters.Conclusion:There is a negative association between gestational blood pressure and the neurodevelopmental index of 2-year-old children.

Objective:
To observe the effect of dopamine pretreatment of the root canal on improving the bonding performance of AH-plus sealer.
Methods :
A total of 32 freshly isolated permanent teeth with a single canal were collected, with no caries, no fracture of roots, and a root canal curvature<10°. All sample root canals were prepared to F2 with ProTaper rotating nickel-titanium instruments and then treated with 1 mg/mL, 2 mg/mL, or 3 mg/mL dopamine solution for 24 hours and divided into 4 groups (n = 8): 0 mg/mL dopamine group (blank control group), 1 mg/mL dopamine group, 2 mg/mL dopamine group, and 3 mg/mL dopamine group. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the combination of dopamine and root canal dentin wall; laser confocal scanning microscopy was used to observe the penetration of AH-plus sealer; and root canal filling was performed with AH-plus sealer and gutta-percha tip using the cold gutta-percha lateral pressure technique. The root canal samples were cut horizontally at the middle and the apical third sections of the root with a slice thickness of 1-2 mm. The push-out test was carried out under an Instron universal testing machine to compare the push-out bonding strength between each group.
Results :
Scanning electron microscopy showed that most of the dentinal tubules were open in the control group after 0 mg/mL dopamine solution treatment for 24 hours. In the 1 mg/mL group, a small number of dopamine particles on the surface of the dentin tubules in the inner wall of the root canal were loose and unevenly distributed. In the 2 mg/mL group, most of the dentinal tubules were covered by dopamine particles, and the dopamine layer was uniform and dense. In the 3 mg/mL group, a large number of dopamine particles were deposited at the mouth of the dentinal tubules, but the distribution was uneven. Dopamine and AH-plus sealer can be seen to simultaneously infiltrate into dentinal tubules under a confocal laser scanning microscope. The interaction of the two factors, the anatomical location and dopamine concentration, had no significant effects on the bonding strength of AH-plus sealer (P>0.05). Root canals treated with 2 mg/mL dopamine had the highest bonding strength in all groups (P<0.05). Analysis of the push-out test of bonding strength with AH-plus sealer at different anatomical locations showed significant differences (P<0.05). The push-out bonding strength of the AH-plus sealer in the middle third section of the root was higher than that in the apical third section of the root.
Conclusion
Different dopamine concentrations could affect the bonding strength of AH-plus sealer in root canals. When treated with 2 mg/mL dopamine for 24 hours, the bonding effect of AH-plus sealer in root canals was improved.

Objective:To compare the expression of myeloid cell trigger receptor expressed on myoid cell 2 (TREM2) in different brain regions of tyrosine kinase binding protein(TYROBP) knockout mice and wild-type mice at different months of age, and to explore the relationship between TREM2, TYROBP and early onset Alzheimer's disease(EOAD).Methods:Healthy TYROBP gene knockout mice were divided into three groups according to the results of gene sequencing: the homozygous (TYROBP -/-) group, the heterozygous (TYROBP -/+ ) group, and the wild type (WT) group.Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression of TREM2 in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of 2, 4 and 6 month old mice in the three groups and with 10 in each group at each time point. Results:(1) In the prefrontal cortex: Western blot and RT-qPCR results showed that compared with WT mice (2-month-old: (0.993±0.048), (1.654±0.033); 4-month-old: (0.503±0.019), (2.169±0.023); 6-month-old: (0.600±0.036), (1.468±0.057)), the levels of TREM2 protein and mRNA in 2-month-old TYROBP -/+ group ((0.746±0.062), (1.137±0.067)) and TYROBP -/- group ((0.661±0.028), (0.644±0.012)) were decreased.While in 4-month-old and 6-month-old TYROBP -/+ group (4-month-old: (1.140±0.006), (5.483±0.088); 6-month-old: (0.827±0.043), (3.020±0.082)) and TYROBP -/- group (4-month-old: (1.071±0.010), (3.012±0.150); 6-month-old: (0.627±0.026), (1.633±0.027)) were increased, especially in 4-month-old mice and the differences were statistically significant ( F=12.946, 134.445; 725.318, 289.202; 12.172, 202.791; all P<0.05). (2) In the hippocampus: Western blot results showed that compared with WT mice (2-month-old: (1.268±0.036); 4-month-old: (0.813±0.010); 6-month-old: (0.312±0.021)), the level of TREM2 protein in 2-month-old TYROBP -/+ group ((0.804±0.034)) and TYROBP -/- group ((0.534±0.020)) were decreased.While in 4-month-old and 6-month-old TYROBP -/+ group ((0.932±0.011); (0.769±0.031)) and TYROBP -/- group ((0.910±0.014); (0.609±0.018)) were increased, especially in 4-month-old mice and the differences were statistically significant ( F=142.807; 27.884; 94.067; all P<0.05). Conclusion:The expression level of TREM2 decreases in 2-month-old TYROBP gene knockout mice while increases in 4-month-old and 6-month-old TYROBP gene knockout mice.It is presumed that TREM2/TYROBP signal pathway participates in the pathological process of EOAD and plays different roles in different pathological stages of EOAD.
