RESUMO
Prematurity is a common complication in the field of obstetrics. The incidence of prematurity increased yearly. Premature birth occurred in advance trend. Early preterm birth refers to the delivery occurred at 28-31+6 week of gestational age. For unavoidable early preterm birth, the prognoses of mothers and infants have become the focus of perinatal medicine. It is particularly significant to ameliorate the prognoses of mothers and infants. Therefore, this paper mainly reviewed mental and psychological problems, organic complications of mothers with early preterm deliveries，and physical growth, cognition，behaviors，quality of life in early preterm infants at home and abroad, in order to provide a reference for further optimization of their prognosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of iodine on mRNA expression of iodide transporter (NIS),insulin-like growth factor Ⅰ (IGF- Ⅰ ) and transforming growth factor beta(TGF-β) in thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats and to explore the role of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA in iodine uptake in thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats.MethodsOne hundred and one Wistar rats(80 female and 21 male),weighting 8 - 100 g were selected.These female rats were randomly divided into five groups according to their body weight:control group(NI,normal feed,drank deionized water containing iodine 50 μg/L) ; low iodine group 1 and 2(LI-1,LI-2,low iodine feed,drank deionized water containing iodine 0 and 5 μg/L,respectively); high iodine group 1 and 2(HI-1,HI-2,normal feed,drank deionized water containing iodine 3000 and 10 000 μg/L,respectively),16 rats in each group.After feeding for 3 months,the female and male rates were mated 3:1.The female rats in each group were sacrificed at the fifth and tenth day after postpartum.Thyroid and mammary glands were taken.The mRNA levels of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β in thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats were determined by real time quantitative PCR.ResultsThe fifth days after postartum,NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA expression levels of thyroid and lactating mammary glands were different between groups,and the differences were statistically significant ( NIS:F =631.46,64.91,all P ＜ 0.01 ; IGF- Ⅰ:F =11.45,6.56,all P ＜ 0.01 ; TGF-β:F =291.83,304.53,all P ＜ 0.01).Compared with control group [NIS:0.0066 ± 0.0023, (0.1481 ± 0.0711 ) × 10-2; IGF- Ⅰ:0.0419 ± 0.0062,0.0542 ± 0.0044; TGF-β:0.1416 ± 0.0277,0.1670 ± 0.0499],regardless of thyroid or mammary gland,the NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA expression of LI-1 [NIS:0.0447 ± 0.0110,(0.3030 ± 0.1831) × 10-2;IGF- Ⅰ:0.0662 ± 0.0078,0.0902 ± 0.008; IGF- Ⅰ:0.5514 ± 0.0508,0.6942 ± 0.0367],LI-2[NIS:0.0317 ±0.0081,(0.3017 ± 0.1601) × 10-2; IGF-I:0.0645 ± 0.0054,0.0894 ± 0.0093; TGF-β:0.5292 ± 0.0332,0.6704 ± 0.0277 ] was significantly increased (all P ＜ 0.01 ); the NIS mRNA expression of HI-1 [0.0043 ± 0.0011,(0.1233 ± 0.0954) × 10-2],HI-2[0.0037 ± 0.0017,(0.1058 ± 0.0854) × 10-2] was decreased(all P ＜ 0.05),while the expression of IGF-Ⅰ mRNA [0.0521 ± 0.0910,0.0715 ± 0.0026; 0.0516 ± 0.0078,0.0697 ± 0.0038] and TGF-β mRNA [0.2087 ± 0.0425,0.2361 ± 0.0425; 0.1971 ± 0.0237,0.2257 ± 0.0752 ] was increased (all P ＜ 0.05 ).The tenth days after postpartum,the mRNA expression levels of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β of thyroid and lactating mammary gland in rats were different between groups,and the differences were statistically significant (NIS:F =103.55,116.32,all P ＜ 0.01; IGF-Ⅰ:F =67.67,11.98,all P ＜ 0.01; TGF-β:F =74.30,381.30,all P ＜0.01 ).Compared with the control group[NIS:0.0069 ± 0.0011,(0.1337 ± 0.0599) × 10-2; IGF-Ⅰ:0.0390 ±0.0071,0.0534 ± 0.0056; TGF-β:0.1351 ± 0.0336,0.1534 ± 0.0320],the mRNA expression levels of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β of LI-1 [ NIS:0.0432 ± 0.0165,(0.2962 ± 0.0985 ) × 10-2; IGF- Ⅰ:0.0643 ± 0.0088,0.0873 ± 0.0055 ; TGF-β:0.5042 ± 0.0912,0.6408 ± 0.0420],LI-2[NIS:0.0287 ± 0.0111,(0.2873 ± 0.0862) × 10-2; IGF- Ⅰ:0.0621 ± 0.0094,0.0862 ± 0.0038; TGF-β:0.4893 ± 0.0504,0.6372 ± 0.0389] were significantly increased(all P ＜ 0.01 ); the NIS mRNA levels of HI-1 [ 0.0042 ± 0.0029,(0.1006 ± 0.0909) × 10-2],HI-2[0.0035 ± 0.0020,(0.0890 ± 0.0119) × 10-2] were decreased(all P＜ 0.05),while the expression of IGF-Ⅰ mRNA[0.0516 ± 0.0078,0.0668 ± 0.0071; 0.0508 ± 0.0089,0.0621 ± 0.0064] and TGF-β mRNA[0.2007 ± 0.0546,0.2175 ± 0.0370;0.1959 ± 0.0393,0.2097 ± 0.0425] were increased(all P ＜ 0.05 ).In thyroid and mammary glands,the comparisons of NIS,IGF,TGF-β mRNA expression of the fifth and tenth day after postartum,between each group were not statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsThere are regulatory mechanisms of thyroid and mammary glands of lactating rats in response to low or high iodine conditions.In low iodine,the expressions of NIS,IGF- Ⅰ and TGF-β mRNA in thyroid and mammary glands increase and iodide uptake ability is enhanced to meet the body needs.In high iodine,the expression of NIS mRNA decreases in thyroid and mammary glands.Due to the reduced ability of iodine uptake,iodine intake is reduced,thereby reducing the hazards of high iodine in filial rats.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo observe the changes of fluoride content in serum,bone and urine after rats were exposed to single fluoride,single aluminum or fluoride combined with aluminum and to investigate the effects of different doses of aluminum on fluoride accumulation and excretion in rats.Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 9 groups based on 3 × 3 factorial design.Different doses of fluoride(NaF,0,50,200 mg/L)and(or) aluminum(AlCl3,0,100,200 mg/L) were administered to rats in each group by drinking water.The rats took food and water ad libitum during the experimental period.After feeding for 18 weeks,rats with obvious dental fluorosis were determined as successful establishment of animal model.The fluoride content in the serum,bones and urine were measured.Results Fluoride affected the fluoride content in serum,bones and urine(F=166.74,577.81,160.96,all P ＜ 0.01 ).The interaction of fluoride and aluminum on serum,bone and urinary fluoride were statistically significant (F =7.95,5.13,6.94,all P ＜ 0.01 ).When the fluoride level was 50 mg/L,the serum fluoride contents were [ (0.08 ± 0.03) and (0.08 ± 0.02) mg/L] in the aluminum levels of 0 and 100 mg/L groups,which was higher than that of the aluminum level of 200 mg/L group[ (0.04 ± 0.01)mg/L,F=7.14,5.78.all P＜ 0.05].The bone fluoride content in the 0 mg/L aluminum level group[ (1996.53 ± 383.73) mg/kg] was higher than that of the 100 and 200 mg/L groups[(1252.51 ± 189.08),( 1160.63 ± 129.63) mg/kg,F=20.54,24.56,all P ＜ 0.01 ].When the fluoride level was 200 mg/L,the bone fluoride contents were decreased with the increasing doses of aluminum[ (4668.70 ± 887.67),(3920.30 ± 528.31 ),(3297.64 ± 396.04) mg/kg].Between any two groups,the differences were statistically significant (F =15.59,52.31,14.38,all P ＜ 0.01 ).When the fluoride level was 50 mg/L,the urinary fluoride content in the 0 mg/L aluminum level group[ (34.054 ± 9.30)mg/L] was higher than that of the 100,200 mg/L groups[( 14.81 ± 6.32),(14.67 ± 3.42) mg/L,F =25.30,24.32,all P ＜ 0.01 ].When the fluoride level was 200 mg/L,the urinary fluoride contents in the 0,100 mg/L aluminum level groups[ (57.14 ± 21.38),(51.75 ± 8.39)mg/L] were higher than that of the 200 mg/L group[(34.839 ± 9.30) mg/L,F=30.04,20.31,all P ＜ 0.01 ].ConclusionsAluminum is an antagonist of fluoride.The antagonism could be enhanced as the dose of aluminum increased.In this study,aluminum could effectively counteract the absorption of fluoride in rat model when the ratio of fluoride to aluminum is 1 ∶ 2.
RESUMO
Objective To study the effects of different levels of iodine concentration on insulin-like growth factors Ⅰ (IGF-1) mRNA expression of thyroid and breast in lactating rats. Methods Thirty Wistar female rats, having been weaned for 1 month, were randomly divided into three groups according to their body weights, i. e. :low iodine(LI) group,adequate iodine(AI) group, high iodine(HI) group, 10 rats in each group. Synthetic fodder and deionized water containing iodine of 0,150,3000 μg/L was respectively fed to these rats. After fed for 3 months, the rats mated and had offspring. Their mammary glands, thyroids and serum were sampled at lactation day 5. The serum iodine of lactating rats were determined by moderate acid digestion method, level of T3 and T4 were determined by radioimmunoassay method, and the expressions of IGF-1 mRNA of mammary glands and thyroids were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR assay. Results The value of serum iodine of LI group [(17.38±3.27) μg/L] was lower than that of AI group [(43.42±6.92) μg/L, P<0.05], and the value of serum iodine of HI group[(350.10±38.46)μg/L] was higher than that of AI group (P<0.05). The level of T3 of LI group and HI group[ (1.11±0.25), (1.61±0.33)μg/L] reduced obviously compared with that of AI group[(2.18±0.46) μg/L, P<0.05]. The mean of T4 of LI group and HI group[(33.40±11.11),(56.54±10.38)μg/L] had no statistical significance compared with AI group(44.02±12.51)μg/L, P>0.05), but the level of T4 of LI group was lower than that of HI group(P<0.05). The level of IGF-1 mRNA expression of thyroid in LI group and HI group (0.34±0.08, 0.23±0.08) was higher than that of AI group(0.15±0.03, P<0.05). The level of IGF-1 mRNA expression of lactating mammary in LI group(0.59±0.18) was higher than that of AI group(0.40±0.10, P<0.05). The level of IGF-1 mRNA expression of thyroid was lower than that of breast between the same group(t=3.54, 6.44,2.62, all P<0.05). Conclusion Iodine could affect IGF-1 mRNA expression of thyroid and lactating mammary, and IGF-1 mRNA expression of lactating mammary was stronger than that of the thyroid.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the occurrence of new cretinism cases and the prevalence of endemic goiter, and the reason of lower coverage rate of iodized salt in the iodine deficiency disorders(IDD) high-risk areas of China, so as to put forward target prevention measures for these areas. Methods A hundred and one counties from 11 provinces(autonomous regions, municipality), such as Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan, Hainan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, were chosen into the survey by simple random sampling. In the counties of high risk, typical sampling principle was used. In the selected townships, searching for new cretinism cases were carried out in the children under 10 years old, the thyroid volume of children aged 8-10 years old were determined by B-ultrasonography methods and their urinary iodine (UI) were determined by As3-Ce<'4+> catalytic spectrophotometry, the intelligence quotient(IQ) values of children aged 8-10 years old were measured by the combined Raven Test in China. In the household survey, the housewives were asked to fill in the questionnaire, the iodized salt coverage rates and the UI levels of child-bearing age women were investigated, the salt iodine content was determined using self-quantitative kit. Epi Info software was used to analyze the determination results. Results In the 101 high-risk counties, 249 were diagnosed as new cretinism cases from 4122 suspected cases searched. The goiter rate of children aged 8-10 years old by B-ultrasound was 8.28% (4434/53 541), 44 counties had goiter rates in the range of 5%-20%, 5 counties had goiter rates in the range of 20%-30%, and 3 counties had goiter rates of 30%. The mean IQ of children was 85.44, and the percentage of IQ value less than 70 was 16.52%(8713/52 745). The median urinary iodine(MUI) of children was 154.69 μg/L, the percentage of UI less than 50 μg/L was 17.26% (9069/52 558). Twenty-five counties had a MUI of children less than 100 μg/L. The MUI of housewives was 107.14 μg/L, the percentage of UI less than 50 μg/L was 27.50% (3722/13 534). MUI of housewives in 46 counties were less than 100.0 μg/L. The coverage rate of iodized salt at household level was 77.85%(13 150/16 891). The coverage rate of iodized salt was 52.80%(1585/3002), 44.72% (631/1411) and 72.82% (1850/2506) in Tibet, Hainan and Qinghai, respectively. More than 10% residents of Tibet, Sichuan, Hainan, Gansu and Qinghai complained that iodized salt was not convenient to buy. There were 71.39%(7652/10 719) of observed people ate crude salt. The average price of crude salt price(0.30-1.20 Yuan/kg) was lower than iodized salt(1.20-3.00 Yuan/kg). Conclusions In these IDD high-risk areas, the risk of endemic goiter and cretinism prevalence is threatening. The IDD monitoring should be carried out successively in these high-risk areas. The prevention measures, increasing iodized salt coverage rate and establishing the sustainable mechanism for eliminating IDD should be strengthened. Emergent iodine fortification measure for high risk region people should be implemented as soon as possible, a long term effective mechanism of eliminating IDD should be established.
