Objective:To investigate the perinatal outcomes and risk factors of perinatal complications in preg-nant women with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on clini-cal data of 100 pregnant women with HCM who delivered in Obstetrical Cardiology Intensive Care Center of Shanghai Renji Hospital between Jan.2000 and Dec.2022.Analyze the incidence of perinatal complications inclu-ding miscarriage,premature birth,small for gestational age infants,neonatal asphyxia,neonatal cardiac malforma-tions and perinatal mortality.Independent risk factors of perinatal complications in pregnant women with HCM were identified using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression.Results:①The mean age was 29.21±4.41 years old,the average gestational age upon admission is 34.46±6.43 weeks.There were 16 patients with a fam-ily history of cardiomyopathy(16%),21 cases with obstructive HCM(21%)and 79 cases of non-obstructive HCM(79%),91 cases with abnormal ECG(91%),mainly with ST-T changes(77 cases,77%).The average in-terventricular septum was 19.39±6.13mm by echocardiography.②Among the 100 pregnancies of 100 HCM pa-tients,6 cases(6%)were miscarriages,94 newborns survived(94%),including 91 cases of cesarean section(91%)and 3 cases of vaginal delivery(3%).The predominant perinatal complications were preterm delivery(39 cases,39%),small for gestational age(5 cases,5%),neonatal asphyxia(3 cases,3%)and neonatal cardiac malformation(2 cases,2%).There were no perinatal deaths.③Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pre pregnancy heart function ≥ Grade Ⅱ,increased left atrial diameter,and concomitant pulmonary hyperten-sion were risk factors for perinatal complications in pregnant women with HCM(OR>1,P<0.05).Multivariate Lo-gistic regression analysis found that pre pregnancy heart function ≥ Grade Ⅱ was an independent risk factor for predicting the occurrence of perinatal complications in pregnant women with HCM(OR 6.270,P<0.05).Conclu-sions:HCM during pregnancy can induce poor perinatal outcome.More attention should be paid to risk assess-ment and pregnancy management.Early detection of risk factors can reduce the incidence of perinatal complica-tions.

Objective:To investigate the levels of microRNA (miR) -106b-5p and miR-760 in the serum of early lung cancer patients, and the clinical value of the combination of them and low-dose spiral CT in the diagnosis of early lung cancer.Methods:Ninety early lung cancer patients (lung cancer group) who underwent treatment in Cangzhou People's Hospital of Hebei Province from January 2022 to March 2023 were collected as research subjects, meantime, 90 patients with benign pulmonary lesions (benign pulmonary nodules) diagnosed by pathology were selected as the control group. The levels of miR-106b-5p and miR-760 in the serum of two groups were compared, the results of low-dose spiral CT examination were analyzed; receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to determine the optimal cut-off values of serum miR-106b-5p and miR-760; four grid table method was applied to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of serum miR-106b-5p, miR-760 combined with low-dose spiral CT for early lung cancer.Results:The level of miR-106b-5p in lung cancer group was higher than that in control group (1.39±0.31 vs. 1.04±0.30), serum miR-760 level was lower than that in control group (0.75±0.24 vs. 1.02±0.26), with statistically significant differences ( t=7.70, P<0.001; t=7.24, P<0.001). The area under curve (AUC) of miR-106b-5p, miR-760 and low-dose spiral CT in the diagnosis of early lung cancer was 0.83, 0.81 and 0.82, the accuracy was 76.67%, 77.22% and 81.67%, the sensitivity was 84.44%, 81.11% and 76.67%, and the specificity was 68.89%, 73.33% and 86.67%, respectively. The AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of serum miR-106b-5p, miR-760 combined with low-dose spiral CT in diagnosing early lung cancer were 0.96, 90.00%, 94.44%, and 85.56%, respectively. The accuracy of the three combined diagnosis was higher than that of individual diagnosis of miR-106b-5p, miR-760 and low-dose spiral CT ( χ2=11.52, P=0.001; χ2=10.72, P=0.001; χ2=5.14, P=0.023), the sensitivity of the three combined diagnosis was higher than that of individual diagnosis of miR-106b-5p, miR-760 and low-dose spiral CT ( χ2=4.77, P=0.029; χ2=7.46, P=0.006; χ2=11.51, P=0.001), the specificity of the three combined diagnosis was higher than that of individual diagnosis of miR-106b-5p, miR-760 ( χ2=7.11, P=0.008; χ2=4.12, P=0.042) . Conclusion:The serum level of miR-106b-5p is significantly increased in early lung cancer patients, while the serum level of miR-760 is significantly reduced. The combination of miR-106b-5p, miR-760 and low-dose spiral CT has high diagnostic value for early lung cancer.

Purpose:
Cavernous nerve injury induced erectile dysfunction (ED) is a refractory complication with high incidence in person under radical prostatectomy. Studies have shown that relaxin-2 (RLX-2) plays a vital role of endothelial protection, vasodilation, anti-fibrosis and neuroprotection in a variety of diseases. However, whether penile cavernous erection can benefit from RLX-2 remains unknown. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of RLX-2 on ED in the rat suffering with bilateral cavernous nerve injury (BCNI).
Materials and Methods:
The rats were divided into three groups: Sham group was underwent sham operation, BCNI+RLX group or BCNI group was underwent bilateral cavernous nerve crush and then randomly treated with RLX-2 (0.4 mg/kg/d) or saline by continuous administration using a subcutaneously implanted micro pump for 4 weeks respectively. Then, erectile function was evaluated by electrical stimulation of cavernous nerves. Cavernous nerves and penile tissues and were collected for histological evaluation.
Results:
Erectile function of rats with BCNI was partially improved after RLX-2 treatment. The BCNI group had lower expression of relaxin family peptide receptor (RXFP) 1, p-AKT/AKT, p-eNOS/eNOS ratios than sham operation rats, but RLX-2 could partially reversed these changes. Histologically, the BCNI+RLX group had a significant effect on preservation of neurofilament, neuronal glial antigen 2 of penile tissue and nNOS of cavernous nerves when compared with BCNI group. RLX-2 could inhibited the lever of BCNI induced corporal fibrosis and apoptosis via regulating TGFβ1-Smad2/3-CTGF pathway and the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, caspase3.
Conclusions
RLX-2 could improve erectile function of BCNI rats by protecting cavernous nerve and endothelial function and suppressing corporal fibrosis and apoptosis via RXFP1 and AKT/eNOS pathway. Our findings may provide a promising treatment for refractory BCNI induced ED.
