Abstract
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) are a common severe complication during pregnancy, which is characterized by complex etiology, unclear pathogenesis and lack of effective tools for early diagnosis and prediction. Recently, the development of omics technology provides new insights into the research into HDP. Based on national and international publications from 2011 to 2022, this review summarizes the application of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics in the pathogenesis and prediction of HDP, so as to provide insights into the prediction, prevention and precise treatment of HDP.

Objective To evaluate the influence of stress distributions on bone-anchored maxillary protraction at different protraction sites, so as to guide patients to choose an optimal protraction site in clinic. Methods A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of child head with implant anchorages was establised. Four protraction sites were set according to the position of implant installation. Working condition 1: the alveolar bone at the intersection of distal 2 mm of primary lateral incisor crown distal surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 2: the alveolar bone at the intersection of mesial 2 mm of maxillary first primary molar crown mesial surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 3: the alveolar bone at the intersection of mesial 2 mm of maxillary first molar crown mesial surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 4: the alveolar bone at the intersection of distal 2 mm of maxillary first molar crown distal surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. The finite element models were loaded with 500 g protraction force at each side with 30° forward direction to the occlusal plane. Stress distributions on each suture were analysed. Results The maximum stress of frontomaxillary suture was in working condition 2 (1 477-28 190 Pa). The maximum stress of nasomaxillary suture was in working condition 1 (5.296-924 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticomaxillary suture was in working condition 4(394.7-13 130 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticofrontalis suture was in working condition 4 (495.2-31 690 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticotemporal suture was in working condition 3 (1 148-15 870 Pa). The maximum stress of medianpalatine suture was in working condition I (6.479-730 Pa). Conclusions When the protraction sites are set in distal maxillary primary lateral incisor and mesial maxillary first primary molar, it is of positive significance to improve the concave profile, especially in nose root. When the protraction sites are set in mesial or distal maxillary first molar, it is of positive significance to improve the concave profile, especially in maxillary basal bone of the midface.

Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) is a pseudokinase with a kinase domain, which plays an important role in the regulation of necroptosis. After cerebral ischemia, MLKL, as the substrate protein of the receptor-interacting protein 3, undergoes oligomerization and phosphorylation, and then translocates from the cytoplasm to the plasmalemma, causing mitochondrial division and cell membrane rupture. MLKL can also mediate the inflammatory response after cerebral ischemia by inducing necroptosis and directly activating inflammasomes, thereby aggravating brain injury. Therefore, to clarify the biological characteristics of MLKL and its role and mechanism in cerebral ischemia is very important for the treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Objective:
To access the effect of maternal cell contamination (MCC) on the detection of copy number variation (CNV) by chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) in prenatal diagnostic samples.
Methods:
Amniotic fluid DNA samples were collected from Department of Prenatal Diagnosis (Screening) Centre of Hangzhou Women′s Hospital from December 2016 to August 2018. Copy number variations (CNVs) were identified in these DNA samples by CMA and normal female genomic DNA was added to simulate different proportions of maternal cells contamination. The simulated samples were tested using an Agilent microarray chromosome chip 180K CGH (Agilent 180K CGH) and the results were analyzed by Agilent CytoGenomics software.
Results:
The results showed that duplications of CNV could not be detected at

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of botulinum toxin type A injection in the prevention and treatment of frontal traumatic scars immediately after operation.Methods:From January 2016 to January 2018, among the 152 patients with frontal trauma admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery, Daping Hospital, Army Military Medical University, patients with wounds almost perpendicular to the Langer line were selected. Immediately after debridement and suture, botulinum toxin type A was injected with a concentration of 2 U botulinum toxin per 0.10 ml of solution, 0.05 to 0.10 ml (1 to 2 U) per 1 cm was injected into the frontal muscle according to frontal muscle strength.With reference to the observer scar assessment scale and Vancouver scar scale, the color, width, texture, thickness, pain, and itching of the postoperative scar of the frontal wound were evaluated at follow-up.Results:A total of 44 patients were included, 22 males and 22 females, aged (31.5 ± 8.4) years old, with a wound length of 1-12 cm(average, 3.5 cm) and a Botox injection volume around wounds of 0.10-0.90 ml (2-18 U) . The patients were followed up for 6 to 24 months. One patient had mild to moderate ptosis, which completely disappeared within one month. Within 6 weeks after operation, the scars in 44 patients were pink and hard. 3-6 months later, the scars gradually became soft, narrow and flat with similiar skin color, no pain and itching left in 42 patients. The satisfaction rate was 95.5% (42/44). Two patients were dissatisfied because of scar pigmentation and width.Conclusions:Immediate injection of botulinum toxin type A after debridement and suture of the frontal trauma wound can effectively prevent and improve scar appearance with a high rate of satisfaction.
