    Abstract Background: Little is known about the long-term trends of preterm birth rates in China and their geographic variation by province.
    Objectives: To estimate the annual spatial-temporal distribution of preterm birth rates in China by province from 1990 to 2020.
    Data sources: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, WANFANG and VIP from January 1990 to September 2023.
    Study selection and data extraction: Studies that provided data on preterm births in China after 1990 were included. Data were extracted following the Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting.
    Synthesis: We assessed the quality of each survey using a 9-point checklist. We estimated the annual preterm birth risk by province using Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models considering potential socioeconomic, environmental, and sanitary predictors.
    Results: Based on 634 survey data from 343 included studies, we found a gradual increase in the preterm birth risk in most provinces in China since 1990, with an average annual increase of 0.7% nationally. However, the preterm birth rates in Inner Mongolia, Hubei, and Fujian Province showed a decline, while those in Sichuan were quite stable since 1990. In 2020, the estimates of preterm birth rates ranged from 2.9% (95% Bayesian credible interval [BCI] 2.1, 3.8) in Inner Mongolia to 8.5% (95% BCI 6.6, 10.9) in Jiangxi, with the national estimate of 5.9% (95% BCI 4.3, 8.1). Specifically, some provinces were identified as high-risk provinces for either consistently high preterm birth rates (e.g. Jiangxi) or relatively large increases (e.g. Shanxi) since 1990.
    Conclusions: This study provides annual information on the preterm birth risk in China since 1990 and identifies high-risk provinces to assist in targeted control and intervention for this health issue.

    Abstract Our study aimed to investigate the effect of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase and edaravone on cerebral hemodynamics and T lymphocyte level in patients harboring acute cerebral infarction.There involved a total of 118 patients with acute cerebral infarction from November 2017 to May 2019 in our hospital were randomly divided into 2 groups: the observation group (59 patients were treated with intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase combined with edaravone) and the control group (59 patients were treated with intravenous thrombolysis of alteplase). The clinical effect, neurological function, cerebral hemodynamic index, T lymphocyte level, oxygen free radical scavenging level and oxidative stress index of the 2 groups were observed and compared.Before the treatment, there were no significant differences in neurological function, cerebral hemodynamic indexes, T-lymphocyte level, oxygen free radical scavenging level and oxidative stress indexes between the 2 groups (P > .05). After the treatment, the neurological function, cerebral hemodynamic indexes, T-lymphocyte level, oxygen free radical scavenging level and oxidative stress indexes of the 2 groups were significantly improved. In addition, the observation group exerted greater beneficial effect in terms of the clinical effect, neurologic function, cerebral hemodynamic index, T lymphocyte level, oxygen free radical scavenging level and oxidative stress index than those of the control group (P < .05).The intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase and edaravone is effective in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction, which also provides better results in terms of improving the clinical efficacy and prognosis of patients and might be an alternative option for clinical practice.

    Abstract Purpose: The present clinical study was conducted to investigate the effect of oxiracetam combined with ginkgo biloba extract in treating patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
    Methods: Ninety-eight patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage admitted to our hospital were divided into three groups. The differences of brain edema and cerebral hemorrhage were compared between the three groups after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment, and the recovery of neurological function, serum inflammatory factors, AQP-4, MMP-9, cognitive function, activities of daily living, and adverse reactions were compared between the three groups after 2 weeks of treatment.
    Results: There was no significant difference among the three groups before treatment (p > .05). After treatment, the recovery of neurological function, serum inflammatory factors, AQP-4, MMP-9 levels, cognitive function, and activities of daily living were improved. Among them, the neurological function recovery, serum inflammatory factors, AQP-4, MMP-9 levels, cognitive function, and activities of daily living in the combined treatment group and the control group elicited greater results than those in the routine group. The results of the combined treatment group showed the most significant difference (p < .05). The concentration of IL-6 decreased from 135.98 ± 12.54 to 91.83 ± 7.69 pg/ml, AQP-4 from 227.55 μg/L ± 21.06 to 114.31 ± 9.22 μg/L, and MMP-9 from 172.39 ± 9.81 to 94.98 ± 5.01 ng/ml. In addition, the neurological function recovery, the levels of serum inflammatory factors, cognitive function, and activities of daily living in the combined treatment group were better than those in the control group (p < .05). The mean score of MRS in the combined treatment group decreased from 3.36 ± 0.98 at admission to 1.91 ± 0.38.
    Conclusion: Oxiracetam combined with Ginkgo biloba extract in the treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage has a significant improvement effect.

    Abstract In order to reveal the complex mechanism governing the mitotic/meiotic switch in female germ cells at epigenomic and genomic levels, we examined the chromatin accessibility (scATAC-seq) and the transcriptional dynamics (scRNA-seq) in germ cells of mouse embryonic ovary between E11.5 to 13.5 at single-cell resolution. Adopting a strict transcription factors (TFs) screening framework that makes it easier to understand the single-cell chromatin signature and a TF interaction algorithm that integrates the transcript levels, chromatin accessibility, and motif scores, we identified 14 TFs potentially regulating the mitotic/meiotic switch, including TCFL5, E2F1, E2F2, E2F6, E2F8, BATF3, SP1, FOS, FOXN3, VEZF1, GBX2, CEBPG, JUND, and TFDP1. Focusing on TCFL5, we constructed Tcfl5

    Abstract Seven new compounds including five aromatic butenolide analogues (1-5), one quinazolinone alkaloid (6) and one benzoic acid derivative (7), along with eleven known co-metabolites (8-18), were isolated from Aspergillus terreus SCAU011, a fungus from the rhizosphere sediment of a mangrove plant Rhizophora stylosa. The structures of these isolates were established by a combination of MS, NMR and ECD data analyses, as well as chemical method. Compound 3 is a rare ring-open aromatic butenolide, while 6 represents the first natural ring-open benzomalvin-type quinazolinone alkaloid. Also, the previously reported structures for asperlides A-C were proposed to be revised in the present work. The COX-2 inhibitory, α-glucosidase inhibitory, antioxidant and antibacterial activities of all the compounds were assessed. While compounds 4, 6, 11 and 18 exhibited better COX-2 inhibitory activity than the positive control celecoxib, compounds 9 and 10 showed significant α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC

    Abstract The development of an earth-abundant, first-row water oxidation catalyst that operates at a high TOF and a low overpotential remains a fundamental chemical challenge. Cobalt complexes are important members of water oxidation catalysts. Herein, we report a cobalt-based robust homogeneous water oxidation catalyst, which can electrocatalyze water oxidation at a high pH and a low overpotential (η = 520 mV) in phosphate buffer. This homogeneous system exhibits a high turnover frequency (about 5 s

    Abstract Drug resistance is a big problem in cancer treatment and one of the most prominent mechanisms underlain is overexpression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, particularly ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2. Inhibition of ABC transporters is an important approach to overcome drug resistance. The inositol-requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α), an arm of unfolded protein response (UPR), splices XBP1 mRNA to generate an active transcription factor XBP1s. UPR is implicated in drug resistance. However, the underlying mechanism is unclear. We found that the anticancer drugs such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) activated the IRE1α-XBP1 pathway to induce the expression of ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2 in colon cancer cells. Inhibition of IRE1α RNase activity with small molecule 4μ8c suppressed the drug-induced expression of these ABC transporters and sensitized 5-FU-resistant colon cancer cells to drug treatment. In vivo xenograft assay indicates that administration of 4μ8C substantially enhanced the efficacy of 5-FU chemotherapy on 5-FU-resistant colon cancer cells. These results suggest that IRE1α-targeting might be a strategy to cope with drug resistance of colon cancer.

    Abstract Objectives: Damage to salivary gland after radiotherapy for head and neck malignant tumours can lead to irreversible oral complaints, which severely impair quality of life. The protective effect of α1-adrenoceptor activation on the salivary glands after irradiation has previously been demonstrated. However, the exact mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the underlying cytoprotective mechanism of α1-adrenoceptor activation in rat submandibular glands after irradiation.
    Study design: Rats were locally irradiated using a linear accelerator in the head and neck region with a dose of 20Gy. After irradiation, phenylephrine (5mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally for 7 successive days and the submandibular glands were then collected. The antiapoptotic effect of phenylephrine on the gland was examined by TUNEL, the proliferative cellular nuclei antigen (PCNA) was determined by immunohistochemistry, and the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was detected by Western blot.
    Results: The irradiation only group showed severe atrophy, increased apoptosis, enhanced cell proliferation, and the phosphorylation of JNK was markedly increased by 26.89% (P<0.05), compared to the control. The phenylephrine-treated group, however, showed remarkably alleviated atrophy, decreased apoptosis, and further increased cell proliferation, and the phosphorylation of JNK was markedly decreased by 36.00% (P<0.05), compared to the irradiation only group.
    Conclusions: The data showed that the underlying protective mechanism of α1-adrenoceptor activation in irradiated gland might be related to improved cell proliferation, inhibited cell apoptosis, and depressed activation of JNK. It could be helpful in protecting salivary glands against irradiation damage.
