Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and calmodulin (CaM) expression levels and neurological impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease.Methods:The clinical data of 140 patients with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) who received treatment at The Third People Hospital in Liaocheng between April 2020 and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. On admission, serum levels of CaM and IMA were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and an albumin-cobalt binding test. Patients' neurological function was evaluated using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Patients' transient cerebral ischemia, urinary incontinence, and gait disturbance were evaluated using the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Scale. Patients' cognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale. The influential factors of serum IMA and CaM expression levels in patients with CSVD were analyzed. The factors that affect the severity of neuological imairment in patients with CSVD and their correlation with serum IMA and CaM expression levels were analyzed.Results:The gender, age, presence or absence of gait disorders, and presence or absence of urinary incontinence of patients were not correlated with serum IMA and CaM levels (all P > 0.05). The serum levels of IMA [(38.5 ± 5.3) × 103U/L, (38.5 ± 4.7) × 103U/L, (39.0 ± 4.4) × 103U/L] and CaM [(190.4 ± 34.5) μg/L, (191.2 ± 26.7) μg/L, (199.7 ± 24.8) μg/L] in patients with cognitive impairment, dizziness and vertigo, and transient cerebral ischemia were significantly higher than those in patients with normal cognitive function, patients without dizziness and vertigo, or patients without transient cerebral ischemia [(27.3 ± 4.4) × 103U/L, (21.0 ± 3.8) × 103U/L, (20.5 ± 5.1) × 103U/L, (180.6 ± 29.6) μg/L, (179.5 ± 28.6) μg/L, (168.6 ± 32.4) μg/L, t = 14.10, 24.36, 22.50, all P < 0.05]. There were significant differences in cognitive impairment (38/16/9), dizziness and vertigo (39/16/8), transient cerebral hemorrhage (35/16/9), NIHSS score [(3.6 ± 0.8) points, (7.5 ± 0.9) points, (16.2 ± 3.2) points], CaM levels [(125.3 ± 20.5) μg/L, (185.5 ± 23.6) μg/L, (237.9 ± 54.3) μg/L], and IMA levels [(21.2 ± 3.5)] × 103 U/L, [(38.5 ± 4.3) × 103 U/L, (74.9 ± 5.4) × 103 U/L] among patients with mild, moderate, and severe neurological impairment ( t = 32.87, 11.28, 12.42, 34.59, 151.73, 147.84, all P < 0.05). The results of multivariate analysis indicated that cognitive impairment ( OR = 1.578, 95% CI: 1.043-2.386), transient cerebral ischemia ( OR = 2.396, 95% CI: 1.156-4.969), dizziness and vertigo ( OR = 1.906, 95% CI: 1.086-3.345), NIHSS score ( OR = 2.171, 95% CI: 1.162-4.056), CaM level ( OR = 2.022, 95% CI: 1.268-3.224), and increased IMA levels ( OR = 2.090, 95% CI: 1.313-3.325) were independent influential factors for worsened neurological impairment (all P < 0.05). The serum levels of IMA and CaM in patients with CSVD were significantly positively correlated with the severity of neurological impairment ( r = 5.45, 8.33, both P < 0.05). Conclusion:The elevated serum levels of IMA and CaM in patients with CSVD serve as independent risk factors for neurological impairment, and these levels are positively correlated with the severity of neurological impairment.

Objective:To study the correlation of bone metabolism biomarkers between newborn twins and their mothers during pregnancy.Methods:From January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022, newborn twins with mild symptoms admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical data of the twins and their mothers were collected, including bone metabolism biomarkers of the twins within 3 d after birth and their mothers within last month during pregnancy. The twins were assigned into different groups according to gestational age(GA), birth weight(BW), the relationship between BW and GA(appropriate for GA(AGA),small for GA(SGA) and large for GA(LGA), birth season, gender, and the mothers' age, ethnicity, pre-delivery body mass index (BMI), gestational BMI increase, number of births and chorionic properties. The correlations of bone metabolism biomarkers between the twins and their mothers were analyzed.Results:A total of 302 pairs of twins were included. The incidence of insufficient or deficient serum 25-(OH)D 3 was 97.4% among the mothers, and 87.7% among the twins. The levels of blood phosphorus ( r=0.262, P<0.001) and 25-(OH)D 3 ( r=0.239, P=0.002) in mothers were positively correlated with the twin with larger BW. No significant differences existed in 25-(OH)D 3 between genders, AGA,SGA and LGA, birth season, and mothers' age, ethnicity, pre-delivery BMI, gestational BMI increase and chorionic properties( P>0.05). 25-(OH)D 3 in the twins were positively correlated with BW and 25-(OH)D 3 of mothers before delivery ( P<0.05) and negatively correlated with number of births ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In most mothers and their newborn twins, 25-(OH)D 3 are insufficient or deficient. The levels of blood phosphorus and 25-(OH) D 3 are correlated between the newborns and their mothers. The lower the BW of the newborn, the more times the mother give birth and the lower the mother's pre-delivery 25-(OH)D 3 level, the lower the newborn's 25-(OH)D 3 level.

Objective:To explore the carrier status of group B streptococci (GBS) in pregnant women of Mongolian and Han nationality and the neonatal GBS infection in order to identify the high risk factors of GBS infection in Mongolian and Han newborns in this area.Methods:Totally 7289 pregnant women and their newborns born alive were tested for GBS in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from June 2017 to June 2020, and their newborns were cultured for GBS, and the venous blood of newborns delivered by GBS positive women were detected for anti-GBS capsular polysaccharide antibody level, in order to determine the high risk factors of neonatal GBS infection.Results:Among the 7289 pregnant women, 3136 were Mongolian pregnant women (2599 full-term delivery and 537 premature delivery) and 4153 were Han pregnant women (3541 full-term delivery and 612 premature delivery). The results of GBS test showed that the GBS carrier rate was 8.19% in the Mongolian preterm delivery group, 4.35% in the Mongolian term group, 11.93% in the Han preterm group, and 5.76% in the Han term group, indicating that the carrier rate of GBS in the preterm group was significantly higher than that in the term group, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality ( P < 0.05). Further comparing the GBS carrier rate of Mongolian and Han pregnant women, the GBS carrier rate of Mongolian pregnant women was significantly lower than that of Han pregnant women regardless of the premature delivery group and term group ( P < 0.05). (2) A total of 434 newborns were born by GBS positive parturients. The positive rates of GBS in Mongolian premature infants, Mongolian full-term infants, Han premature infants and Han full-term infants were 29.55%, 14.16%, 31.51% and 17.65%, respectively, suggesting that the positive rate of GBS in premature infants was significantly higher than that in full-term infants, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality ( P<0.05). Further comparing the positive rate of GBS in Mongolian and Han newborns, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of GBS between Mongolian newborns and Han newborns, no matter the premature delivery group and the full-term group. (3) This study compared the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Mongolian and Han newborns. The results showed that the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Mongolian premature infants was 23.08%, and none in full-term infants. The incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in Han premature infants was 26.09%. The incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in term infants was 5.56%. The incidence of neonatal GBS septicemia in the preterm group was significantly higher than that in the term group, regardless of Mongolian and Han nationality. By further comparing the incidence of GBS septicemia in Mongolian and Han newborns, there was no significant difference in the positive rate of GBS between Mongolian newborns and Han newborns regardless of the premature delivery group and the term group. (4) In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the level of anti-GBS capsular polysaccharide antibody in premature infants was significantly lower than that in term infants ( P < 0.05). (5) Regardless of the Mongolian and Han nationality, compared with GBS negative group, GBS positive rate was higher in pregnant women aged≥35 years old, with history of menstruation, miscarriage, vaginitis, floating population, and those who had not undergone pre-pregnancy examination,,which were the high risk factors for GBS-positive pregnant women during pregnancy. (6) In both Mongolian and Han nationality, the incidence of chorioamnionitis, puerperal infection, premature delivery and premature rupture of membranes in the GBS positive group was higher than that in the GBS negative group, and the incidence of fetal distress and neonatal asphyxia in the GBS positive group was also higher than that in the GBS negative group. Conclusions:The carrier rate of GBS in Mongolian pregnant women is lower than that in Han pregnant women, and positive GBS during pregnancy will increase the incidence of adverse maternal and fetal outcomes such as chorioamnionitis, puerperal infection, premature delivery, premature rupture of membranes, fetal distress, neonatal asphyxia and neonatal early-onset GBS septicemia. The high risk factors are maternal age ≥ 35 years old, history of menstruation, abortion, vaginitis, floating population, and infection without pre-pregnancy examination. We should attach great importance to the perinatal high risk factors and formulate corresponding intervention measures accordingly, and make rational use of antibiotics for prenatal prevention, so as to further reduce the incidence of early-onset GBS septicemia in newborns.

Conclusion:The polymorphism of VEGF gene rs699947 locus is associated with the occurrence and development of BPD in Mongolian premature infants, and allele A may be a susceptible factor.

Growth plate,the developmental center of endochondral osteogenesis,can be divided morphologically and functionally into a resting zone,a proliferative zone,a prehypertrophic zone and a hypertrophic zone.Injuries to growth plate often lead to bone growth defects including limb length discrepancy and angulation deformity in children.Currently,their orthopedic corrective surgeries are invasive and limitedly effective and no effective biotherapy has been available.Previous studies on animal models of growth plate damage have investigated the related cellular and molecular events in the repair of damaged growth plates in the 4 distinct inflammatory,fibrogenic,osteogenic and remodeling phases.Related molecules involved in the regulation of the above processes,such as inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha,mitogenic platelet-derived growth factor and bone morphogenetic protein,are found to participate in the regulation of growth plate injury.Exploration of the mechanisms may provide new targets for biotherapy.In addition,development of cartilage tissue engineering,especially application of mesenchymal stem cells,also provides potential interventions for growth plate injury.
