RESUMEN
Objective:To evaluate the role of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) and the relationship with pyroptosis in microglia of mice.Methods:Twenty-four SPF healthy male C57BL/6J mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 18-22 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=6 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), SAE group and SAE plus an NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 group (SAE+ MCC950 group). The mouse model of SAE was prepared by cecal ligation and puncture after anesthesia. MCC950 20 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 1 h after developing the model in SAE+ MCC950 group, and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in the other groups. Open field tests were conducted at 1 day after developing the model to record the number of rearing and time spent in the central area. Novel object recognition tests were conducted at 2-3 days after developing the model to record the recognition index. After the behavioral experiment on 3 day after developing the model, mice were sacrificed and hippocampal tissues were collected for determination of the expression of NLRP3 (by Western blot), count of cells co-expressing NLRP3 and microglia-specific ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1) (by immunofluorescence), activity of caspase-1, and contents of interleukin-1beta(IL-1β) and IL-18 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Compared with Sham group, the number of rearing was significantly reduced, the time spent in the central area was shortened, the recognition index was decreased, the expression of NLRP3 was up-regulated, the count of NLRP3 + -Iba-1 + cells was increased, and the activity of caspase-1 and contents of IL-1β and IL-18 were increased in SAE and SAE+ MCC950 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with SAE group, the number of rearing was significantly increased, the time spent in the central area was prolonged, the recognition index was increased, the expression of NLRP3 was down-regulated, the count of NLRP3 + -Iba-1 + cells was decreased, and the activity of caspase-1 and contents of IL-1β and IL-18 were decreased in SAE+ MCC950 group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:NLRP3 is involved in the development of SAE, which may be related to the mediation in microglial pyroptosis in mice.
RESUMEN
Objective:To study the current status of research in the field of iodine nutrition for pregnant women and to detect the hot spots and future trends in the field of iodine nutrition for pregnant women.Methods:Using "pregnant women" and "iodine" as search terms, we searched the literature related to iodine nutrition in pregnant women from January 2000 to December 2021 in China Knowledge Network (CNKI) database, Wanfang database and Chinese Medical Journal Full Text Database. CiteSpace 6.2.2.0 software was used to sort out the publication status, core authors and research hotspots of the papers.Results:A total of 879 valid papers were included, with an overall number of publications increasing trend from 2000 - 2021 and a decline after 2017. Among the 879 papers, 29 first authors were core authors (M≈3), and 109 papers were published, accounting for 12.40% of the total literature; several research groups with relatively stable collaborative relationships had been formed, with the larger collaborative team of Chen Zupei and Zhang Wanqi at Tianjin Medical University. Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that pregnant women, urinary iodine, and iodine nutrition were high-frequency keywords; keywords with mediated centrality > 0.07 were pregnant women (0.48), pregnancy (0.40), urinary iodine (0.37), iodine deficiency disorders (0.25), iodine nutrition (0.20), thyroid (0.12), thyroxine (0.10), infants and children (0.09). The analysis of the emergent words showed that the evolution of iodine nutrition research themes in pregnant women was broadly based on studies of iodine nutrition monitoring results in key populations such as newborns and infants from 2000 - 2011, studies such as the range of thyroxine reference values during pregnancy from 2012 - 2016, and changes in iodine nutrition status of pregnant women and children after adjustment of iodized salt concentration from 2017 - 2021. The clustering results showed that a total of 355 keywords were aggregated to yield 10 clusters, and the average profile value of clusters (Silhouette) > 0.8, which was a reasonable clustering result; the study topics can be divided into three major categories, iodine nutrition and goiter monitoring results in key populations, thyroid hormones and pregnancy outcomes during pregnancy, and studies on thyroid-related diseases.Conclusions:Iodine plays an important role in the health of pregnant women and their offspring, and changes in the iodine nutrition status of pregnant women should be closely monitored. In response to the new trends of change that are currently present, multidisciplinary cooperation should be developed to respond to social concerns and jointly promote the maintenance of iodine nutrition in pregnant women at appropriate levels.

RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the relationship between carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in females.Methods:The study involved 11337 women who visited the health check-up system in Health Management Center of a general hospital in Shandong province between January 2014 and December 2015. By grouping CEA by quartiles, logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between CEA and MetS and its components.Results:The prevalence of MetS was 16.4 %, and abnormal levels of CEA accounted for 7.1% of patients with MetS which exceeded the general physical examination population (3.2%). The level of CEA increased with the increase of the number of metabolic components. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that people with high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen were at higher risk for metabolic syndrome( χ2=18.374, P<0.01). Compared with the level of CEA in Q1, CEA levels in Q2, Q3, and Q4 were statistically related to MetS. The OR values were 1.25(95% CI 1.03-1.52), 1.25(95% CI 1.03-1.51) and 1.42(95% CI 1.17-1.72), respectively. Conclusion:For females, the study suggests that there is a relationship between CEA and MetS. The increased CEA level in patients with MetS should be carefully explained in clinical practice.

RESUMEN
Although efficient nonsurgical transfer of embryos in mice would provide many advantages over a surgical method, the low success rate of nonsurgical transfer has hampered its acceptance and use. Here, a plastic catheter was used to mimic embryo transfer process and then the transfer efficiency was evaluated by intrauterine trypan blue dye dispersion. Also 3.5-day blastocysts from natural pregnant mice were transferred through cervix into uterine horns. The results show that 70.9% of CD-1 mouse 3.5-day blastocysts transferred into unilateral uterine horns of pseudopregnant 2.5-day recipients can be developed to live newborns, and an efficient mouse nonsurgical embryo transfer technique was established. The technique was simple, rapid, inexpensive, unlikely to get contaminated, ethical and do not need specialized apparatus, and can completely replace surgical embryo transfer techniques. Moreover, the mouse nonsurgical embryo transfer technique provides a research model for human and other large animal embryo transfer.
