ABSTRACT

The emerging of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused COVID-19 pandemic. The first case of COVID-19 was reported at early December in 2019 in Wuhan City, China. To examine specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in biological samples before December 2019 would give clues when the epidemic of SARS-CoV-2 might start to circulate in populations. We obtained all 88,517 plasmas from 76,844 blood donors in Wuhan between 1 September and 31 December 2019. We first evaluated the pan-immunoglobin (pan-Ig) against SARS-CoV-2 in 43,850 samples from 32,484 blood donors with suitable sample quality and enough volume. Two hundred and sixty-four samples from 213 donors were pan-Ig reactive, then further tested IgG and IgM, and validated by neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Two hundred and thirteen samples (from 175 donors) were only pan-Ig reactive, 8 (from 4 donors) were pan-Ig and IgG reactive, and 43 (from 34 donors) were pan-Ig and IgM reactive. Microneutralization assay showed all negative results. In addition, 213 screened reactive donors were analyzed and did not show obviously temporal or regional tendency, but the distribution of age showed a difference compared with all tested donors. Then we reviewed SARS-CoV-2 antibody results from these donors who donated several times from September 2019 to June 2020, partly tested in a previous published study, no one was found a significant increase in S/CO of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Our findings showed no SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies existing among blood donors in Wuhan, China before 2020, indicating no evidence of transmission of COVID-19 before December 2019 in Wuhan, China.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand the prevalence and associated factors of functional constipation(FC) among primary and middle school students in Shaanxi Province, in order to provide a basis for preventing FC in students.@*Methods@#A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 9 133 primary and middle school students aged 10-18 in eight primary and secondary schools in Shaanxi Province from March to September,2017. Chi square test and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the associated factors of FC among primary and middle school students in Shaanxi Province.@*Results@#There were a total of 364 students meeting the FC Rome IV diagnostic criteria, with a prevalence rate of 3.99%. Among them, there were 155 male students with a prevalence rate of 3.43%, and 209 female students with a prevalence rate of 4.53%. Univariate analysis showed that gender, breastfeeding, separation from parents, long term school meals, types of staple foods, breakfast frequency, cold foods eating frequency, spicy foods eating frequency, fried food eating frequency, pickled food eating frequency, desserts eating frequency, vegetables eating frequency were related to FC, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=7.30,18.75, 20.89,35.54,22.43,16.05,21.31,13.97,10.33,23.96,16.25,17.74, P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that female, non breastfeeding, separation from parents, long term school meals, low consumption of staple food/staple food dominated by rice, and never eating vegetables were positively correlated with FC( OR =1.37,1.96,1.52,2.07,1.76,1.58,2.31, P < 0.05 ).@*Conclusions@#The prevalence of functional constipation is higher in primary and middle school students. Attention should be paid to factors related to students dietary habits and food classification to prevent the occurrence of FC in primary and middle school students.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of Rehmanniae Radix combined with Scrophulariae Radix on renal microinflammation in diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats. Methods:50 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were adaptively fed for 1 week, and then 10 rats were randomly selected as the blank control group, and the rest were treated with STZ intraperitoneal injection combined with high-fat diet to induce DN model. After 4 weeks, the successful modeled rats were randomly divided into model group, Rehmannia glutinosa Scrophularia group (5.25 g/kg) and metformin group (200 mg/kg), with 10 rats in each group. After 8 weeks of administration, fasting blood glucose was measured by blood glucose meter; microalbuminuria was measured by benzalkonium chloride turbidimetry; serum cystatin, TNF-α, IL-6 and hs-CRP levels were measured by ELISA kit; renal pathological changes were detected by HE staining, Masson staining and PAS staining; the expression of MCP-1, NF-κB (total) and p-NF-κB protein in renal tissue was detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the model group, the body weight of rats in DHXS group was significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The content of fasting blood glucose[(18.06 ± 5.69) mmol/L vs. (29.42 ± 0.63)mmol/L], 24-hour urine protein [(11.02 ± 1.77)mg/d vs. (31.61 ± 0.65)mg/d], serum cystatin [(208.16 ± 12.07)ng/ml vs. (278.05 ± 19.33)ng/ml], TNF-α [(9.13 ± 1.46)pg/ml vs. (73.16 ± 8.30)pg/ml], IL-6[(4.27 ± 1.07)pg/ml], hs-CRP[(219.36 ± 22.02)ng/ml vs. (266.97 ± 15.80)ng/ml] in DHXS group were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and the expression level of p-NF-κB (0.49 ± 0.07 vs. 0.84 ± 0.12) and MCP-1 (0.44 ± 0.02 vs. 0.64 ± 0.11) in renal tissue of rats in DHXS group were significantly reduced ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Rehmanniae Radix combined with Scrophulariae Radix can protect kidney by inhibiting the over activation of NF-κB, and reducing the expression of MCP-1 related protein to reduce renal micro inflammation.

ABSTRACT

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become one major threat to human population health. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) presents an ideal target of antivirals, whereas nucleoside analogs inhibitor is hindered by the proofreading activity of coronavirus. Herein, we report that corilagin (RAI-S-37) as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, binds directly to RdRp, effectively inhibits the polymerase activity in both cell-free and cell-based assays, fully resists the proofreading activity and potently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection with a low 50% effective concentration (EC

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the present situation of unintended pregnancy within two years postpartum and its influencing factors in China.Methods:Participants who delivered a live birth at 60 hospitals in 15 provinces in the eastern, central and western regions of China during July 2015 to June 2016 were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. Information on occurrence of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery, postpartum contraceptive use, sexual resumption, breastfeeding, and women′s socio-demographic characteristics, and so on, were collected. Life-table analysis, cluster log-rank tests and a 2-level Cox regression model were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 18 045 postpartum women were investigated. The cumulative 1- and 2-year unintended pregnancy rates after delivery were 5.3% (95% CI: 4.5%-6.1%) and 13.1% (95% CI: 11.3%-14.8%), respectively. Cox regression model analysis showed that the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years postpartum were increased in younger women, ethnic minorities, women with abortion history, and those who had a vaginal delivery with short lactation time and late postpartum contraceptive initiation (all P<0.01). The risk of postpartum unintended pregnancy was not associated with geographic regions and hospitals where women gave a birth (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In China, the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery is relatively high. Service institutions and service providers should improve the quality of postpartum family planning services, promote the use of high effect contraceptive methods, and educate women to use a method at the time of their sexual resumption or even before.

ABSTRACT

Objective To design and conduct objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) in professional postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology, and to investigate the improvement measures for the teaching of professional postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology by analyzing the performance of postgraduates in OSCE. Methods In October 2017, OSCE was performed for postgraduates in obstetrics and gynecology in the classes of 2016 and 2017 to evaluate their clinical ability. This OSCE consisted of the following four aspects: inquiry of standardized patients, basic practical skills in obstetrics and gynecology, utilization and interpretation of auxiliary examinations, and case analysis. The postgraduates were scored according to the following six items: doctor-patient communication skills, completeness of inquiry, basic practical skills in obstetrics and gynecology, utilization of auxiliary examinations, competence of clinical thinking, and mastery of medical knowledge. SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis, and the t-test was used for comparison between groups . Results A total of 27 postgraduates participated in this OSCE . Among the six scoring items, completeness of inquiry had the lowest score (78 ±6), and utilization of auxiliary examinations had the highest score (85±3). Among the 27 postgraduates, 7 (25.9%) lacked doctor-patient communication skills, 6 (22.2%) showed serious problems in basic practical skills in obstetrics and gynecology, and 6 (22.2%) lacked the scientific thinking of clinical diagnosis. Conclusion In the training of professional postgraduate students in obstetrics and gynecology, doctor-patient communication skills and clinical thinking should be emphasized, and basic clinical skill training should be strengthened.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the factors affecting the vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Methods Totaly 298 women who underwent trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) from Jan 2015 to Dec 2015 were recruited from Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, FuXing Hospital, Tongzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Beijing, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University and the People′s Hospital of Chengyang District of Qingdao. The maternal age, the interval from the last cesarean section, the body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy, the weight gain during pregnancy, the way into labor, the Bishop score before labor, the gestational age and the birth weight of the neonate were recorded in a self-made form. The factors affecting VBAC were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression. Results (1)The incidence of VBAC, uterine rupture, postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal asphyxia were 70.5%(210/298), 2.7%(8/298), 9.4% (28/298) and 1.3% (4/298), respectively. No maternal death and perinatal death occurred. (2)The univariate analysis suggested that the maternal age, the BMI before pregnancy, the Bishop score before labor, the labor induction, the gestational age at delivery and the neonatal weight were factors affecting VBAC. The maternal age and the Bishop score before labor were significantly higher in the VBAC group than in the unsuccessful TOLAC group(P<0.05). While the BMI before pregnancy, the induction rate, the gestational weeks at delivery and the birth weight of the neonate were significantly lower in the VBAC group than in the unsuccessful TOLAC group (P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that successful VBAC was affected by the maternal age, the BMI before pregnancy, the Bishop score before labor and the birth weight of the neonates(P<0.05). Conclusion The maternal age, the BMI before pregnancy, the Bishop score before labor and the birth weight of neonate are the main factors affecting VBAC.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate whether nutritional management intervention can prevent excessive weight gain during pregnancy and improve perinatal outcomes. This cross-sectional study included 276 pregnant women undergoing prenatal care between June 2010 and December 2011 at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the Second Affiliate Hospital of the ChongQing University of Medical Sciences, Chongqing, China. Of them, 131 women received individualized nutritional management in addition to routine prenatal care [intervention group], and 145 women received only routine prenatal care [control group]. The primary study outcome was gestational weight gain [GWG]. Secondary outcomes included birth weight, Apgar score, and incidence of pregnancy complications. Baseline demographic characteristics of the 2 groups were the same. The average GWG was higher in the control group [12.57 +/- 4.62 kg] compared with the intervention group [7.58 +/- 1.59 kg; p=0.000]. The incidence rate of preeclampsia was 3.1% and gestational diabetes was 3.8% for the intervention group, compared with 11% for preeclampsia and 14.5% gestational diabetes for the control group [p<0.05]. The incidence rates of premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor, birth weight, birth of a newborn, and major congenital anomalies did not significantly differ between the 2 groups. Nutritional management intervention prevented excessive GWG and improved perinatal outcomes. These results support the hypothesis that nutritional management intervention can decrease the rate of complications experienced by expecting mothers

ABSTRACT

Hela is the cell line of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix, and human papillomavirus (HPV) 18 shows positive. We delivered siRNA with target specifically to HPV18 E7 mRNA into nude mice Hela tumor xenografts by nanopatch to inhibit the HPV gene expression, and further to study the superiority, the best action time and concentration of siRNA of using nanopatch to transfer siRNA in vivo. We designed siRNA that target specifically to HPV18 E7 mRNA (siE7) and checked the effect of siE7 in vitro. Tumor xenografts were transfected with siE7 and GenEscort III by nanopatch. Expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and protein were detected 0 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours after transfection with PT-PCR and Western blot, and the best action time was analyzed using nanopatch to thansfect siRNA in vivo. We transfected GenEscort III and siE7 of Different concentration into tumor xenografts respectively by nanopatch and intraperitoneal injection. Expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and protein was detected 72 hours after transfection by PT-PCR and Western blot, to analyze the best action concentration of siRNA and the superiority of using nanopatch to thansfect siRNA in vivo. The results proved that SiE7was efficient to inhibit expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and to advance Hela apoptosis in vitro. SiE7 transfected by nanopatch into xenografts could inhibit effectively expression of HPV18 E7 mRNA and protein. The best action time and concentration of siRNA of using nanopatch to thansfect siRNA in vivo are 72 hour post-transfection and 2 micromol/L siE7. To compare intraperitoneal injection in delivering siRNA in vivo, the effect of nanopatch is very predominant. It can be well concluded that Nanopatch can effectively transfer siRNA in vivo, which can effectively inhibit the HPV gene expression.

ABSTRACT

This was a study aimed to observe the proliferating ability inhibited by energy controllable steep pulse (ECSP) and to detect the expression of gene with relation to the proliferating ability of the tumor in breast cancer cell line; the possible mechanisms were also addressed. Human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was treated with ECSP; the apoptosis and the expression of tumor suppressor gene--Rb genes and E2F1 genes in ECSP group and control group were detected by TUNEL staining and Reverse Transcripitional PCR respectively. ECSP was found to inhibit the proliferating ability of breast cancer cells markedly, the cell amount in ECSP group decreased and the TUNEL positive cells increased obviously, compared to control; 24 hours after treatment the expression of Rb genes mRNA increased, whereas the expression of E2F1 mRNA decreased. These findings indicate that the proliferating ability of breast cancer cells can be inhibited by ECSP markedly, the apoptosis of breast cancer cell can be induced by ECSP, and the Rb genes and E2F1 genes may be involved in the course.

ABSTRACT

As a micro-wound and target-aimed technology without special limitation, Electric Pulses have been widely researched in tumor treatment and the effects have been demonstrated by a series of experiments, yet the mechanism has not been explained clearly. In this experiment, energy controllable steep pulse (ECSP) was used to treat nude mice bearing human ovarian tumor, and the result was compared with that of the control group. The expression of an important coagulant factor-tissue factor (TF) was analyzed, as TF was also a tumor indicator of invasion and metastasis, the result may indicate the relationship among ECSP, thrombosis and tumor invasion. In this study, to shed light on the mechanism of tumor treatment in electrical fields, nude mice bearing ovarian tumors were randomly divided into the treated group and the untreated group. We treated the former group and took out the tumor instantly. The thrombosis and necrosis of ovarian tumor were observed under microscope. The expression of TF was analyzed by SP immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. Lower level of TF expression was noticed in the tumor tissue treated by ECSP, and more apparent thrombosis was also seen in this group. The results make it clear that ECSP can accelerate thrombosis and consume coagulant factors such as TF, and that low expression of TF in tumor tissue can cut out the signal paths of tumor invasion. So it is suggested that ECSP may restrain tumor invasion and metastasis by modulating thrombosis.
