ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation between preeclampsia and thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy.Methods:107 early pregnant women with preeclampsia admitted to our hospital from Jan. 2017 to Jan. 2020 were all enrolled (observation group) . The observation group were in 6-34 gestational weeks, with an average parity of (1.67±0.35) times. In addition, 100 cases of normal pregnant women in the same period were selected as the control group. The control group were in 6-34 gestational weeks, with an average parity of (1.61±0.31) times. The two groups were compared at early, mid and late pregnancy in terms of thyroid function, and the correlation of preeclampsia and abnormal thyroid function was analyzed.Results:1. TSH levels in the observation group were (1.92±1.24) , (2.07±0.82) , and (2.30±1.23) mU/L in the first trimester, second trimester and third trimester, respectively, showing an upward trend. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P=0.024) . FT4 levels of the observation group in the first trimester, second trimester and third trimester were (0.80±0.26) , (0.60±0.34) and (0.59±0.32) pmol/L, respectively, showing a decreased trend and the difference was statistically significant compared with those of the control group ( P=0.012) . 2. The incidence of hypothyroidism, TPOAb positive and reduced free tetraiodothyronine in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P=0.001, 0.023, 0.005) . There was no significant difference in the incidence of hyperthyroidism or subclinical hypothyroidism between the two groups ( P=0.169, 0.846) . 3. Correlation analysis showed that preeclampsia was related to hypothyroidism, normal thyroid function with TPOAb positive and reduced free tetraiodothyronine ( P=0.000, 0.000, 0.000) . Conclusions:There are changes in thyroid function in pregnant women with preeclampsia. Hypothyroidism, positive TPOAb and reduced free tetraiodothyronine are closely related to the onset of preeclampsia.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Jiawei Guizhi Fuling Decoction combined with mifepristone on uterine fibroids and the changes of serum sex hormone levels in patients after treatment.MethodsForty-two patients were randomly divided into three groups: control group (42 cases) and control group (41 cases).The rats were treated with Guizhi Fuling Decoction plus mifepristone combination for three months.The control group was given only monotherapy with normal mifepristone tablets.The time of treatment was consistent with that of the study group.The levels of serum sex hormones were measured quantitatively before and after treatment.By comparing the therapeutic effect of the patients in different experimental groups and the levels of hormone Differences in evaluation between groups.ResultsThe total effective rate of 92.9% in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group (73.8%).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01).After treatment, the study group and the control group Uterine / tumor volume was significantly reduced, the difference was significantly different (P<0.01), compared between the two groups after treatment of uterine / tumor volume, the study group than the control group, the volume was significantly reduced, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Serum levels of sex hormones: Serum levels of E2 and P were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05).Before and after treatment, the levels of serum E2 and P were lower in the two groups than before treatment (P<0.05).ConclusionJiawei Guizhi Fuling Decoction combined with mifepristone has a better effect on the treatment of uterine fibroids with mifepristone monotherapy, which significantly reduces the level of serum sex hormones and promotes the reduction of uterine / tumor volume after administration.It is worthy of promotion the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine conservative treatment of uterine fibroids means.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of different cag pathogenicity island in Helicobacter pylori ( Hp ) from Chinese patients and various kinase inhibitors on Hp induced interleukin 8 (IL 8) secretion in Chinese gastric epithelial cells. Method Chinese gastric epithelial cells(MGC 803) were cocultured with Chinese clinical cagA +cagE +, cagA +cagE -,cagA -cagE +,cagA -cagE - Hp in vitro, respectively. At the end of culture, IL 8 protein secretion was assayed by ELISA. The effect of the inhibitor of protein kinase A(PKA), C, G, protein tyrosine kinase(PTK) was analyzed on IL 8 protein secretion in gastric epithelial cells by Hp stimulation. Results cagA +cagE + Hp induced IL 8 protein secretion higher than cagA + cagE - or cagA -cagE + Hp , but cagA -cagE - Hp didn′t increase IL 8 protein secretion in gastric epithelial cells. Further studies with gastric epithelial cell showed that IL 8 protein secretion induced by cagA +cagE + Hp was blocked by the PTK inhibitor herbimycin A but not by PKA inhibitor H7, PKC inhibitor calphostin C, and PKG inhibitor KT5823. Conclusion cagA +cagE + Hp significantly increases IL 8 protein secretion and it depends on PTK activation in gastric epithelial cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate telomere length and cellular DNA content in different gastric lesion mucosa, and their relation with gastric mucosal carcinogenesis. Methods Telomere length were determined by southern hybridization. Cellular DNA content was detected by flow cytometry. Results Telomere length in intestinal metaplasia (IM) grade 2 was significantly shorter than that in normal gastric, IM grade 0 or grade 1. Telemere length of gastric carcinoma cells was the shortest in all of the biopsy specimens. Telomere length ratio in patients of corresponding surrounding nontumorous tissues with IM grade 2 was the largest in 45 resected gastric carcinoma. In flow cytometry, The aneuploid of gastric carcinoma (n=18), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) contained IM grade 2 (n=8), grade 1 (n=40), grade 0 (n=20), chronic superficial gastritis (CSG n=46) and normal gastric mucosa (n=10) was 33.3%,12.5%,10.0%,0.0%,0.0% and 0.0%, rspectively, in all of the biopsy specimens. In 45 resected gastric carcinoma specimens, Telomere length of 18 aneuploid was significantly shorter than that of 27 diploid. Furthermore reverse correlation was observed between telomere length and the DNA index in 18 aneuploid. Conclusions Telomere length were shortened as normal mucosa changed into intestinal metaplasia and more into gastric cancer. The normal and CSG mucosa shows no aneuploid. The positivity of DNA aneuploid tends to increase with the progression of intestinal metaplasia. In addition, telomere length and the DNA index show a reverse correlation. It is speculated that the shorter the telomere length the more amplificative activity the DNA. Telomere length and increased DNA index may be a predictor of stomach carcinogenesis.
