Objective:To explore the impact of a three-dimensional management based on a perinatal one-day clinic on pregnancy outcomes in overweight and obese pregnant women.Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial. A simple random sampling method was used to select 460 singleton pregnant women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index≥24 kg/m2 who had regular prenatal check-ups at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from June 1, 2018, to December 31, 2022. The women were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group (230 cases each) using a computer-generated random number table. The control group received regular prenatal check-ups according to the pregnancy care guidelines (once every 4 weeks during mid-pregnancy, once every 2 weeks during late pregnancy, with additional frequency as needed based on the condition). The control group also received a one-time body composition analysis and dietary guidance from a nutritionist at the time of registration. In addition to the control group′s interventions, the experimental group received three-dimensional management based on a perinatal one-day clinic. It included an intensive one-day clinic session, a traditional plus internet-based re-education model (as needed based on the condition), individualized guidance from obstetrics and clinical nutrition clinics (once every 2 weeks), a free body composition test at 24 weeks of pregnancy, and weekly WeChat group push of health care knowledge during pregnancy. A total of 55 cases dropped out, leaving 200 cases in the experimental group and 205 cases in the control group for analysis. General information, pregnancy-related, and postpartum indicators were collected in the two groups. The effect of three-dimensional management based on a perinatal one-day clinic on pregnancy outcomes in overweight and obese pregnant women was analyzed using t-tests and chi-square tests. Results:There was no significant differences in baseline age, pre-pregnancy body mass index, initial blood glucose, initial glycated hemoglobin, or initial gestational age between the two groups (all P>0.05). The experimental group showed significantly lower gestational weight gain, neonatal weight, and proportion of excessive pregnancy weight gain compared to those in the control group [(11.41±5.23) vs (13.22±4.51) kg, (3 352.1±465.3) vs (3 489.5±464.0) g, 48.00% vs 73.17%] (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hospitalization days, gestational age at delivery, incidence of gestational diabetes, incidence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, incidence of premature rupture of membranes, incidence of preterm birth, incidence of macrosomia, vaginal delivery rate and rate of neonatal transfer to the pediatric department between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Early intervention with the three-dimensional management based on the one-day perinatal clinic can effectively control gestational weight gain and neonatal weight in overweight and obese pregnant women.

Aim To observe the mechanism of salvian-olic acid B(SalB)against oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation(OGD/R)injury in H9c2 cardiomyo-cytes.Methods The protective concentration of SalB against OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was screened by CCK-8 assay.The levels of lactate dehy-drogenase(LDH),aspartate transaminase(AST)and creatine kinase(CK)were detected by ELISA kit.The mechanism of action of SalB on OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was explored using high-through-put sequencing of the transcriptome.The binding of SalB to differential proteins was assessed using molecu-lar docking assays.Fatty acid content was determined using free fatty acid kits.The relative expressions of mRNA and protein of differential genes were verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The causal relationship between the target of action of SalB and heart failure was examined by Mendelian randomization experiment.Results SalB protected OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardio-myocytes and significantly reduced the levels of CK,LDH and AST compared with the blank control group.One hundred differential genes were screened by tran-scriptome sequencing,which were mainly involved in fatty acid elongation,central carbon metabolism of cancer,tryptophan metabolism pathways.Molecular docking showed that SalB had good binding energy to differential proteins.The mRNA and protein expression of core differential genes Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results.SalB reduced fatty acidsafter OGD/R injury.Mende-lian randomization experiments suggested that SalB might reduce the risk of heart failure through fatty acid metabolism,thereby reducing the risk of heart failure.Conclusion SalB can protect H9c2 cardiomyocytes after OGD/R injury by down-regulating Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 expression through the fatty acid metabolism pathway.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein(PLVAP)regulating high glucose(HG)induced endocytosis dysfunction in human liver sinusoidal endothelial cells(HLSECs)through Kelch-like epichlorohydrin ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/Maf protein.Methods HLSECs were cultured in vitro and divided into normal control(NC)group,high glucose(HG)group,PLVAP overexpression recombinant vector(LV-PLVAP)group,lentivirus empty vector(LV-CON)group,HG+LV-PLVAP+Nrf2 inhibitor(ML385)group,HG+LV-PLVAP+Maf inhibitor(Mafenide)group,HG+LV-CON+ML385 group and HG+LV-CON+Mafenide group.Cell activity was detected by CCK-8 assay.The transfection efficiency of LV-PLVAP was observed by fluorescence microscopy.The fluorescence expression of PLVAP and Nrf2 was detected by immunofluorescence.RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PLVAP,Keap1,Nrf2,and Maf,Caveolin-1(CAV-1).Results A lot of green fluorescence appeared in LV-PLVAP and LV-CON groups,however,no green fluorescence was shown in NC group.Immunofluorescence results showed that PLVAP was expressed in cell membrane;Nrf2 was expressed in cytoplasm,and in HG group,Nrf2 was expressed in nucleus.Compared with NC group,the expression of PLVAP,Keap1 mRNA and protein decreased in HG group(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the expression of Nrf2,Maf and CAV-1 mRNA and protein increased in HG group(P<0.01).Compared with HG group,the expression of PLVAP,Keap1,Nrf2 mRNA and protein increased in HG+LV-PLVAP group(P<0.01),while the expression of Maf,CAV-1 mRNA and protein decreased in HG+LV-PLVAP group(P<0.01).Compared with HG+LV-PLVAP group,the expression of CAV-1 mRNA and protein increased in HG+LV-PLVAP+ML385 and HG+LV-PLVAP+Mafenide groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusions PLVAP regulates the expression of CAV-1 through the Keap1/Nrf2/Maf pathway and then regulates HG induced endocytosis dys-function in HLSECs.Over expression of PLVAP alleviates this pathological reaction.

Objective:To investigate the multiple mediating effects of anxiety and depression on the relationship between dietary nutri-tion and perimenopausal symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women.Methods:A total of 1129 middle-aged and older women were surveyed using a dietary nutrition status questionnaire,the modified Kupperman Index,the Patient Health Questionnaire-9,and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale.The multiple mediating effect analysis was performed using the PROCESS macro in SPSS.Results:Dietary nutrition,anxiety,and depression were all significantly associated with perimenopausal symptoms(P<0.01).Dietary nutrition had a significant direct impact on perimenopausal symptoms(β=0.06,95%CI=0.002-0.119),and also exerted indirect nega-tive effects through three pathways:anxiety(β=0.059,95%CI=0.031-0.091),accounting for 29.65%of the total effect;depression(β=0.034,95%CI=0.017-0.054),accounting for 17.29%of the total effect;and anxiety-depression(β=0.045,95%CI=0.024-0.073),accounting for 22.76%of the total effect.Conclusion:Dietary nutrition not only directly affects perimenopausal symptoms,but also influences them through the mediating effects of anxiety and depression.
