Objective:To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 1B( PPP1R1B) gene and schizophrenia in the Han population of northern Henan province. Methods:Utilizing Psychiatric Genomics Consortium 3 (PGC3) data, the SNPs of PPP1R1B gene which were significantly associated with schizophrenia were screened.Subsequently, totally 1 721 schizophrenia patients and 6 726 healthy controls from the Han population in northern Henan province were recruited for further analysis. The SNP rs907094, located within the PPP1R1B gene was validated, and the clinical symptoms of 386 schizophrenia patients were evaluated using the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS). Additionally, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) association analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between the rs907094 polymorphism and PPP1R1B gene expression.The PLINK v1.9, Genetic Power Calculater, SPSS 20.0 softwares were used for data analysis. Results:Significant differences in genotype AA, AG, GG(schizophrenia group: AA, 489(28.4%); AG, 848(49.3%); GG, 384(22.3%); control group: AA, 1 450(21.6%); AG, 3 386(50.3%); GG, 1 890(28.1%), χ2=45.418, P<0.05) and allele frequency(schizophrenia group: A, 1 826(53.1%); G, 1 616(46.9%); control group: A, 6 286(46.7%); G, 7 166(53.3%), χ2=43.877, P<0.05) were observed for SNP rs907094 between the schizophrenia group and control group. Individuals carrying allele A were identified to have a higher risk of developing schizophrenia compared to those carrying allele G ( OR=1.288, 95% CI=1.195-1.388). Furthermore, the genotype PPP1R1B gene was found to be associated with the clinical features of schizophrenia. A statistically significant difference was observed in the excitement/hostility factor between AA and GG patients with rs907094 (13.62±5.65, 15.54±4.66)( P<0.05). Additionally, significant differences were noted in the cognitive factor scores between AA and GA genotypes (17.76±5.58, 19.43±5.73)( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the Han population from northern Henan province, the rs907094 polymorphism of the PPP1R1B gene is associated with schizophrenia.And the specific locus may be implicated in arousal/hostility symptoms and cognitive dysfunction.

Objectives:To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase( IDO) genes and schizophrenia (SZ) in a Chinese Han population. Methods:Using a case-control study method, 3 700 in-patients with SZ were recruited from January 2010 to December 2021 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University, and 8 580 healthy controls were recruited from surrounding communities in Xinxiang City. The patient group and control group were matched in gender and age. After collecting peripheral blood from all subjects and extracting genomic DNA, the sample DNA was genotyped using methods such as gene chips and amplification refractory mutation system. The association analysis between IDO gene SNPs and SZ was conducted using the online analysis tool SHEsis. The differences in IDO gene SNP genotype and allele frequency between the two groups were compared using chi-square test. Linkage disequilibrium analysis, haplotype analysis, and Hardy Weinberg equilibrium test were performed using Haploview v4.2 software. A multifactor dimensionality reduction software was used to evaluate the interaction between SNPs and SNP frequencies. Results:In the four SNP loci of IDO gene, there was a significant difference in genotype and allele frequency between the SZ patient and the health control at rs9657182 locus (χ 2=11.81, P=0.003;χ 2=5.54, P=0.019). After Bonferroni correction, the genotype difference at rs9657182 locus still showed statistical significance ( P=0.011). There were no statistically significant differences in genotype and allele frequency among the three SNP locis (rs7820268, rs4503083, and rs10109853). Further stratified by gender, there was no significant difference in genotype frequency between the two groups at the rs9657182. Haplotype analysis revealed that the haplotype of CC and TC (rs9657182 and rs7820268) were significantly different between the two groups (χ 2=3.93,4.78, P=0.048, 0.029). Conclusion:The rs9657182 locus of IDO gene may be a susceptible locus for SZ. The haplotype of CC and TC may be associated with the onset of SZ.

Objective:To explore the trend of postpartum hemorrhage after two-child policy and to analyze the high-risk risks of postpartum hemorrhage so as to put forward intervention measures to reduce the postpartum hemorrhage.Methods:We retrospectively selected 8 784 delivery women with routine production inspection and hospitalized at a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital from 2014 to 2018. We collected the general information, record of production inspection, delivery record and analyzed the trend of postpartum hemorrhage rate, blood loss and related high-risk factors.Results:From 2014 to 2018, there were statistical differences in the postpartum hemorrhage rate, serious postpartum hemorrhage rate and blood loss ( P<0.05) . The trend showed an increasing trend. In 2017, the postpartum hemorrhage rate, serious postpartum hemorrhage rate and blood loss were 16.9%, 6.1% and (540.1±758.2) ml respectively highest in those years. From 2014 to 2018, the percentage of delivery women with advanced ages, multiple pregnancy, pregnancy times≥2, history of cesarean section≥2 were increasing; delivery women with the prenatal hemoglobin≤110 g/L and percentage of natural labor were decreasing with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) ; the percentage of emergency cesarean section was on the rise; the percentage of placental expulsion time from 15 to 30 minutes declined with statistical differences ( P<0.05) ; the percentage of placental expulsion time≥30 minutes and above was no significant trend. Conclusions:From 2014 to 2018, the postpartum hemorrhage rate, serious postpartum hemorrhage rate and blood loss did not show an increasing trend. However, the percentage of high-risk pregnant and delivery women increased gradually. Therefore, we should carry out the pregnancy risk assessment rating for pregnant and delivery women and formulate a suitable high-risk assessment tool for postpartum hemorrhage so as to reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage.

AIM: To determine the effect of intermittent hypoxia (IH) precondition on ischemic myocardium by using a rabbit model of chro nic myocardial ischemia with left anterior descending (LAD) banding. METHODS: Male, adult New Zealand white rabbits were assigned into three groups randomly. (1) normal group (N group), (2) control group (C group), (3) IH precondition group (H group). A LAD band was placed in C and H group firs t. The rabbits in H group were exposed to altitude of 5 000 m, for 6 h/day c ontin uously. According to IH precondition duration, the animals were subdivided into 7-days group (H1) and 42-days group (H2). After these experiments, the mRNA conc entrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia induced factor (HIF-1?), endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the expression of VEGF p rotein were detected. Tissue sections were stained for alkaline phosphatase with indoxyl-tetrazolium method to detect capillary density. RESULTS: The mRNA levels of VEGF, HIF-1?, eNOS and expression V E GF protein were increased in H group significantly. Compared with C and N group, the capillary density in H group was increased significantly. CONCLUSION: IH precondition increases angiogenesis in chronic is chemic myocardium in rabbits.
