【Objective】 To study the effects of gestational diabetes (GDM) on morphological structure of brain tissue and microribonucleotide (miRNA) expression profile in neonatal mice, and to provide a new research target for the prevention and treatment of abnormal neurodevelopment in GDM progeny. 【Methods】 The pregnant mice were divided into model group and control group,each group consisted of 10 mice. The model group mice established a GDM model by injecting streptozotocin to measure fasting blood glucose (FPG) and random blood glucose (GLU) at different times. Successful molded mice were randomly divided into model group A and model group C, and control mice were divided into control group B and control group D, with 5 mice in each group. The newborn mice in groups A and B were used for hippocampal tissue GeneChip detection and brain morphology structure observation, and group C and D newborn mice were used for qRT-PCR detection of hippocampus tissue expression differences to verify the differentially expressed genes of miRANs obtained by GeneChip screening. After giving birth, the neonatal mice were sacrificed by decapitation, and the brain tissue was dissected to observe the overall morphological structure. The structural changes of hippocampus were observed under HE chromogenic microscope. The Agilent mouse miRNA oligonucleotide gene chip was used to detect the miRNA expression profile of mouse hippocampus, screen differential miRNAs and predict their target genes, and conduct GO analysis and signal transduction pathway analysis of target genes. The relative expression levels of the screened miRNAs were verified by qRT-PCR. 【Results】 Compared with the control group, the GLU increased significantly from the 3rd day after drug administration in the model group (P<0.01). Macroscopic observation of control group B mice had normal brain morphology and structure, smooth appearance, clear gyrus, close arrangement of hippocampus cell structure, uniform staining and complete structure; in model group A, the number of hippocampus cells decreased, loose arrangement and deep staining. In the initial screen of miRNA microarray, there were 11 differentially expressed miRNAs between control and model groups, all of which were downregulated miRNAs, including let-7b-5p、miR-130b-3p、miR-181c-5p、miR-181d-5p、miR-3099-3p、miR-3470a、miR-3473a、miR-3473b、miR-500-3p、miR-532-5p、miR-7047-5p(P<0.05). Two miRNAs (miR-3473b, miR-7047-75p) and 5 target genes (MAPK3, MAPK11, MAPK14, CALM3, AKT3). The relative expression of miR-3473b and miR-7047-5p in model group C were lower than that in control group D (t=19.13 and 6.24, P<0.05), and the validation results were consistent with the microarray test results. 【Conclusion】 Compared with the offspring of normal pregnant mice, GDM offspring mice have abnormal development of brain structure and damage of hippocampal nerve cells, and there are a large number of abnormal expression of miRNAs in hippocampal tissue. Differentially expressed miRNAs can be used as research targets for prevention and treatment of GDM offspring neurodevelopmental abnormalities.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze the genomic characteristics of Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) strains circulating in Jilin province from 2010 to 2023.Methods:Vesicle fluid from 78 sporadic cases with VZV infection were collected in Jilin province from 2010 to 2023, after detecting by Real-time PCR, 26 specimens (CT<25) were detected by PCR. Open reading frame 22(ORF22), ORF38 and ORF62 were amplified and analyzed. Genotyping was confirmed by SNPs ORF22 (37902, 38019, 38055, 38081 and 38177) and ORF38 (69424). Vaccine strains were indentified from wild-type strains according to ORF38 (69349) and ORF62 (106262, 107252, and 108111). Sequences were analyzed by homologous comparison and phylogenetic analysis.Results:The comparison with Dumas sequence revealed that SNPs (37902, 38055, 38081 and 38177) in ORF22 and ORF38 (69424) have mutations similar to the pOka strain, which belong to clade 2. Compared to the Dumas and Baike strains, all 26 samples were wild-type strains. JL2016-4 strain changes from threonine to asparaginyl at position 38059, JL2021-4 strain changes from arginine to proline at position 37933, from aspartic acid to tyrosine at position 37935, and from aspartic acid at base 38031 to tyrosine. JL2023-1 strain changes from arginine to leucine at position 37933.Conclusions:VZV has been prevalent for 14 years in Jilin province. The main epidemic strains belong to the clade 2. We should strengthen the monitoring of VZV outbreaks and raise the coverage rate of VZV vaccination.

Objective:To investigate the association between levator hiatus area, pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) examination and prolapse symptoms.Methods:The prospective multicenter study enrolled 996 female patients between January 2017 and January 2019. All enrolled patients underwent a standard clinical interview, POP-Q examination and transperineal ultrasound examination. Volume data of pelvic floor ultrasound examinations were obtained at rest, during contraction and during maximal Valsalva maneuver. The association between levator hiatus area, POP-Q examination and prolapse symptoms was analyzed. The performance of levator hiatus area on maximal Valsalva for assessing significant POP(POP-Q stage≥2) and prolapse symptoms were also evaluated.Results:There were significant differences of levator hiatus area at rest, during contraction and during maximal Valsalva among patients with different POP-Q stages (all P<0.001). Levator hiatus area during maximal Valsalva showed the highest correlation with abdominal dragging sensation ( r=0.277, P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of levator hiatus area during maximal Valsalva for significant POP (POP-Q stage≥2) was significantly higher than that for prolapse symptoms (AUC: 0.77 vs 0.69, P<0.001). Conclusions:Levator hiatus area on transperineal has moderate correlation with POP-Q examination and their association is stronger than the correlation between ultrasound findings and prolapse symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of transperineal ultrasound in quantitative assessment of posterior compartment prolapse among Chinese women.Methods:The prospective multicenter study enrolled 485 women between January 2017 and January 2019. All patients underwent a standard clinical interview, pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) examination and transperineal ultrasound examination. Volume data of transperineal ultrasound examinations were obtained at rest and in maximal Valsalva maneuver.Results:The higher POP-Q stage of posterior compartment, the lower rectal ampulla position in maximal Valsalva maneuver (POP-Q stage=0 vs POP-Q stage=1, P<0.001; POP-Q stage=1 vs POP-Q stage≥2, P<0.001), and the greater rectal ampulla hypermobility (POP-Q stage=0 vs POP-Q stage=1, P<0.001; POP-Q stage=1 vs POP-Q stage≥ 2, P=0.007). The rectal ampulla position at rest and in maximal Valsalva maneuver and rectocele depth were correlated with prolapse symptoms ( r=-0.200, P<0.001; r=-0.252, P<0.001; r=0.086, P=0.045). The corresponding cut-off values of rectal ampulla position in maximal Valsalva in diagnosing posterior compartment prolapse (POP-Q stage ≥1) and clinical significant posterior compartment prolapse (POP-Q stage ≥2) were 7.32 mm below the symphysis pubis and 12 mm below the symphysis pubis, respectively, with the area under the ROC curve as 0.75 and 0.85, respectively. Conclusions:The ultrasonic measurements by transperineal ultrasound is significantly associated with POP-Q examination in posterior compartment, and it is demonstrated as a useful tool in quantitative assessment of the severity of posterior compartment prolapse.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of combined bedside detection of aminoterminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the diagnosis of cardiac dyspnea. Methods A total of 120 patients with dyspnea admitted in our department from June 2014 to February 2016 were included in this study. At the time of admission, NT-proBNP and cTnI levels were measured by bedside test. Values of NT-proBNP>300 ng/L or cTnI>0.16 mg/L were defined as positive for cardiac dyspnea. According to the final diagnosis, patients were divided into two groups:cardiac dyspnea group (n=68) and pulmonary dyspnea group (n=52). At the same time, 30 healthy people were selected as control group. Values of NT-proBNP and cTnI were used for statistical analysis between the three groups. The sensitivity and specificity of NT-proBNP, cTnI and cTnI+NT-proBNP were compared between three groups. Results The levels of NT-proBNP and cTnI were significantly higher in pulmonary dyspnea group and cardiac dyspnea group than those in the control group, and the levels were significantly higher in cardiac dyspnea group than those of pulmonary dyspnea group (P<0.01). The detection sensitivity of NT-proBNP and cTnI alone was 67.65% and 52.94%, combined detection of both was up to 94.12%. The specificity of NT-proBNP and cTnI detection alone was 70.00% and 53.33%, respectively, and combined detection of both was up to 86.67%. The sensitivity of NT-proBNP+cTnI was significantly higher than that of NT-proBNP and cTnI alone (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the specificity between combined detection andindividual detection of NT-proBNP. The positive predictive value of the combined detection in the diagnosis of cardiac dyspnea was 94.12%(64/68), and the negative predictive value was 86.67%(26/30). Conclusion Bedside detection with combination of cTnI and NT-proBNP has important clinical application value in the rapid diagnosis of cardiac dyspnea, which is a rapid clinical testing method.

Objective To detect the situation of metallo-beta-lactamase(MBL) producing of strains resistant to imipenem in pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA) isolated from hospital patients from April to July in 2005.Methods PA strains were isolated and antimicrobial resistances were done by the VITEK auto-microbic system.MBL producing strains were detected by Kirby-bauer method.Results 103 strains of PA were isolated. There were 47 strains resistant to imipenem and 16 strains resistant to ceftazidime. 8 strains were found MBL producing. Accounted for 17.0% of resistance strains to imipenem. One of 8 strains was sensitive to levofloxacin,others were resistant to such antibiotics as carbenicillin, amikacin, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, cefoperazone, ceftazidime, cefepime, netilmicin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin. Non-MBL producing strains were found resistant to almost all antibiotics, except that 2 strains were sensitive to carbenicillin and one was sensitive to amikacin.Conclusion Among the PA strains isolated from clinic, both MBL producing strains and non-MBL ones were multiple antimicrobial resistance.It was one of the antimicrobial merchanisms that MBL producing led to PA resistant to cephalosporins and carbapenems. Antimicrobial agents should be chosen reasonably under the help of laboratory detecting this type correctly so as to reduce the antimicrobial resistance.
