ObjectiveTo explore the influence of excessive weight gain during pregnancy in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal conditions, and to provide scientific evidence for formulating weight management strategies before and during pregnancy and prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes. MethodsClinical data of 2 172 parturients collected from a community in Huangpu District from 2017 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity group (n=530), normal pre-pregnancy weight group(n=937), and underweight pre-pregnancy group(n=705) according to maternal precursor body mass index (BMI). Based on their weight gain during pregnancy,the parturient were divided into moderate gestational weight gain (MGWG) group and excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) group. Meanwhile, the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal infection, placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, mode of delivery, premature birth, stillbirth, fetal distress, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), macrosomia, and Apgar score, were recorded. Then the differences in pregnancy and neonatal outcomes between groups were compared. The effects of pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain on pregnancy outcomes and neonatal conditions was retrospectively analyzed. ResultsThe pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group had higher proportions of placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, cesarean section, premature birth, fetal distress, and macrosomia compared to the normal pre-pregnancy weight group and the underweight pre-pregnancy group, with Apgar scores lower than the normal pre-pregnancy weight group and the underweight pre-pregnancy group (all P<0.05). The EGWG group had higher proportions of postpartum hemorrhage, placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, cesarean section, premature birth, fetal distress, admission to the ICU, and macrosomia than the MGWG group (all P<0.05). In the pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group, the EGWG group had higher proportions of placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, fetal distress, admission to the ICU, and macrosomia than the MGWG group, with lower Apgar scores than the MGWG group (all P<0.05). In the normal pre-pregnancy weight group, the EGWG group had higher proportions of placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, fetal distress, admission to the ICU, and macrosomia than the MGWG group (all P<0.05). In the pre-pregnancy overweight and obese group, the EGWG group had higher proportions of premature rupture of membranes, cesarean section, premature birth, fetal distress, and macrosomia than the EGWG group in the normal pre-pregnancy weight group(all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that EGWG in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women was a risk factor for placental abruption (OR=2.971, 95%CI: 1.098‒8.042), premature rupture of membranes (OR=4.662, 95%CI: 2.798‒7.770), cesarean delivery (OR=1.375,95%CI: 1.260‒2.541), premature birth (OR=4.249, 95%CI: 2.384‒7.573), fetal distress (OR=3.238, 95%CI: 1.589‒6.598), admission to the ICU (OR=3.010, 95%CI: 1.265‒7.164), and macrosomia (OR=5.437, 95%CI: 3.392‒8.716) (all P<0.05). ConclusionExcessive gestational weight gain in pre-pregnancy overweight and obese women is a risk factors for placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, cesarean section, premature birth, fetal distress, admission to the ICU, and macrosomia.

Objective:To study the current status of longitudinal extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) and to develop a prediction model based on clinical data from multiple NICUs.Methods:From January 2017 to December 2018, EPIs admitted to 32 NICUs in North China were retrospectively studied. Their general conditions, nutritional support, complications during hospitalization and weight changes were reviewed. Weight loss between birth and discharge > 1SD was defined as longitudinal EUGR. The EPIs were assigned into longitudinal EUGR group and non-EUGR group and their nutritional support and weight changes were compared. The EPIs were randomly assigned into the training dataset and the validation dataset with a ratio of 7∶3. Univariate Cox regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the training dataset to select the independent predictive factors. The best-fitting Nomogram model predicting longitudinal EUGR was established based on Akaike Information Criterion. The model was evaluated for discrimination efficacy, calibration and clinical decision curve analysis.Results:A total of 436 EPIs were included in this study, with a mean gestational age of (26.9±0.9) weeks and a birth weight of (989±171) g. The incidence of longitudinal EUGR was 82.3%(359/436). Seven variables (birth weight Z-score, weight loss, weight growth velocity, the proportion of breast milk ≥75% within 3 d before discharge, invasive mechanical ventilation ≥7 d, maternal antenatal corticosteroids use and bronchopulmonary dysplasia) were selected to establish the prediction model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the training dataset and the validation dataset were 0.870 (95% CI 0.820-0.920) and 0.879 (95% CI 0.815-0.942), suggesting good discrimination efficacy. The calibration curve indicated a good fit of the model ( P>0.05). The decision curve analysis showed positive net benefits at all thresholds. Conclusions:Currently, EPIs have a high incidence of longitudinal EUGR. The prediction model is helpful for early identification and intervention for EPIs with higher risks of longitudinal EUGR. It is necessary to expand the sample size and conduct prospective studies to optimize and validate the prediction model in the future.

ObjectiveThe human angiotensin converting enzyme2 (hACE2) transgenic mouse model was used to clarify the antiviral efficacy of BD-77 against a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and explore the action mechanism of BD-77 against SARS-CoV-2. MethodSARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variant strains-infected VeroE6 cell models were established and administered with BD-77 to observe the antiviral effect of BD-77 in vitro. A kit was used to detect the effect of BD-77 in vitro on the binding of spike S protein of SARS-CoV-2 virus (Delta/Omicron) to angiotensin converting enzyme2 (ACE2). Chromatography was adopted to detect the binding of BD-77 to the S protein and N protein of the novel coronavirus. hACE2 transgenic C57BL/6 mice were divided into a blank control group, SARS-CoV-2 infection group, BD-77 administration groups of 37.5 mg·kg-1 and 75 mg·kg-1, with eight mice in each group. The pneumonia model of SARS-CoV-2-infected hACE2 transgenic mice was built to observe the survival of the mice, detect the virus titer of the lung tissue of the mice, and observe the lesions in the lung tissue. ResultBD-77 had a certain inhibitory effect on Omicron and Delta variant strains in vitro, with median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 526.3 mg·L-1 and 653.0 mg·L-1, respectively. BD-77 had no significant inhibitory effect on the binding of the S protein of WT, Omicron, and Delta variant strains of SARS-CoV-2 to ACE2 and had no binding effect with the S protein and N protein of the novel coronavirus. No mice in the blank group died, while the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2-infected mice was 75%. There was a large amount of virus replication in the lung tissue of the mice and large areas of inflammatory infiltration in the lung tissue and interstitium. Compared with the model group, BD-77 administration groups of 37.5 mg·kg-1 and 75 mg·kg-1 could reduce the mortality of mice, significantly lower the virus titer in the lung tissue of mice (P<0.05), and improve lung lesions. ConclusionBD-77 demonstrated significant inhibitory effects against SARS-CoV-2 virus in vitro and in vivo. However, its mechanism of action did not involve direct inhibition of the virus itself or intervention in the virus-host binding process. This finding suggests that the mechanism of action of BD-77 needs to be thoroughly investigated and elucidated by further experiments.

Background and purpose:Rectal cancer occurs on the inner wall of the rectum,and metastasis-associated in colon cancer 1(MACC1)can promote drug resistance in colon cancer cells.This study aimed to investigate the effect of MACC1 on oxaliplatin resistance in rectal cancer and its mechanism.Methods:Biosignal analysis of MACC1 and TCF7 expressions in rectal cancer tissues and signaling pathways enriched for MACC1 were carried out.The expressions of MACC1 and TCF7 in rectal cancer cells and rectal cancer oxaliplatin-resistant cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RTFQ-PCR),cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8),and cell proliferation was detected by cell colony formation assay.ECAR values,lactate production and glucose consumption were detected by Seahorse Biosciences XF96.Western blot was used to detect the expressions of glycolysis-related proteins.Dual luciferase reporter gene and ChIP were used to validate the regulatory relationship between MACC1 and TCF7.Normality test and homogeneity of variance analysis was performed on the data of each group by GraphPad Prism 8.0.If it conformed to normal distribution,one-way ANOVA or t-test would be used for inter group comparison,otherwise the comparison between groups would be conducted using Wilcoxon rank sum test.Using a two-sided test,P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:MACC1 and TCF7 expressions were upregulated in rectal cancer,and knockdown of MACC1 significantly inhibited the viability of rectal cancer drug-resistant cells and the IC50 values of different concentrations of oxaliplatin treatments,as well as reduced the proliferation ability of rectal cancer oxaliplatin-resistant cells.Overexpression of MACC1 was able to promote the proliferation and glycolytic capacity of rectal cancer cells.Further studies revealed that the transcription factor TCF7 existed in the upper reaches of MACC1.Besides,this study analyzed the data from Cancer Genome Atlas Program(TCGA),and the result showed that knockdown of TCF7 was able to attenuate the promotional effect of overexpression of MACC1 on the glycolytic capacity and oxaliplatin resistance of rectal cancer cells.Conclusion:This study demonstrated that the TCF7/MACC1 axis could promote aerobic glycolysis and thus oxaliplatin resistance in rectal cancer cells.The findings suggest that targeting the TCF7/MACC1 axis or inhibiting the aerobic glycolysis pathway may be a novel therapeutic approach to inhibit oxaliplatin resistance in rectal cancer.
