Meta analysis on risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcome in China / 中国基层医药

Objective To investigate the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcome of women in China by Meta analysis.Methods Meta analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes from January 2010 to January 2015.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,124 articles were retrieved,and 38 articles were excluded.14 papers were included in this study.Results There was strong correlation between fetal abnormalities and adverse pregnancy outcomes.And the maternal history of abortion and adverse pregnancy outcomes were not related.There was strong association between multiple pregnancy,syphilis infection and adverse pregnancy outcome,and there was moderate correlation between the high blood pressure in pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcome.Abnormal fetal position,the OR value was 3.48 (2.70 -4.43),history of abortion OR value was 1.14 (0.90 -91.44),gestational hypertension OR value was 2.88 (1.69 -4.92),multiple births OR value was 6.40 (2.05 -20.01),syphilis OR value was 5.54 (1.64 -18.64).Conclusion The risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes from strong to weak are as follows:multifetal pregnancy,syphilis infection,abnormal fetal position and hyper-tensive disorder complicating pregnancy.

The clinical value of multi-slice spiral CT in diagnosis of non-angle caused nutcracker syndrome / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT for non-angle caused nutcracker syndrome(NCS). Methods A total of 177 cases of clinical suspected nutcracker syndrome patients recevied multi-slice spiral CT examination,,inclu-ding 33 patients with negative results,144 cases patients with positive results.The analysis was performed by measuring the angle between superior mesenteric artery(SMA)and the abdominal aorta(AA),and the ratio of the diameter of the narrowest and expan-sion in the left renal vein.Results Within 33 cases of nutcracker-negative patients,the angle of SMA and AA was (46.06 ± 24.46)°;the ratio was (2.11±0.76).144 cases was diagnosed as nutcracker-positive patients,the angle of SMA and AA was (23. 10±9.63)°;the ratio was (3.83±1.24).There was positive correlation between angle and ratio in NCS (P<0.0001).Among9 ca-ses of nutcracker syndrome caused by non-angle factors three were oppressed by the uncinate process pancreas,two cases were caused by the malformations of the left renal vein,one case was posterior nutcracker syndrome,one case was oppressed by portal veinOne case of pressured renal vein due to tortuosity renal vein coiled renal artery.One case of the left renal vein compression lumen narrowing,causing significant downward pressure on the left renal vein.Conclusion Spiral CT angiography reconstruction can clear-ly show the cause and the location of the left renal vein compression,which may provide helpful information in diagnosing nutcracker syndrome caused by non-angle factors.

Construction of let-7d expression vector and its inhibitory effect on HMGA2 and ras expression in human ovarian cancer cells in vitro / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To elucidate the role of let-7d in regulating the biological behavior of ovarian cancer cells and their expressions of HMGA2 and ras proteins.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The pre-let-7d sequence was synthesized and inserted into pcDNA6.2GW/EmGFPmiR and transfected into ovarian cancer IGROV1 cells to cause pre-let-7d overexpression. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was employed to examine the expression levels of let-7d miRNA and HMGA2 mRNA, and Western blotting was performed to detect the expressions of HMGA2 and ras protein in the transfected cells. The effect of pcDNA6.2GW-let-7d transfection on IGROV1 cell proliferation was determined using MTT assay and the cell apoptosis rate was measured using flow cytometry.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The eukaryotic expression vector containing the target gene let-7d was successfully constructed and transfected into IGROV1 cells. The transfected cells showed a marked reduction of HMGA2 expression but a less obvious down-regulation of ras expression. Transfection with pcDNA6.2GW-let-7d to suppress the expression of HMGA2 caused alterations of the phenotype of IGROV1 cells shown by a reduced proliferative activity and increased cell apoptosis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Let-7d plays an important role in altering the malignant cell phenotype of ovarian cancer IGROV1 cells by regulating the expression of HMGA2.</p>
