Effect of fathers'' age and birth order on occurrence of congenital heart disease.

STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to examine if there is an effect of fathers' age and of birth order on the occurrence of congenital heart disease. DESIGN--This was a hospital based case-referent study including use of birth defects surveillance data. SUBJECTS--Subjects were 497 cases of congenital heart disease aged between 3 months and 5 years, born in Beijing and Hebei Province, China; 6222 children without congenital heart disease serve as reference baseline. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS--With stratified analysis and logistic regression analyses, congenital heart disease was found to be associated with fathers' age less than 25 years (odds ratio 2.63), independent of mothers' age and of birth order. There was also evidence to show a higher birth order effect on the occurrence of congenital heart disease independent of parental ages. CONCLUSION--Higher birth order and fathers aged less than 25 years were both independently associated with some categories of congenital heart disease and with congenital heart disease overall.     

法乐四联症右室心肌超微结构定量测量与临床的对比研究

为探讨法乐四联症（Ｆ_４）右室心肌超微结构的不同表现与Ｆ_４术前各项临床检查及术后心功能的关系，作者对室间隔缺损组（Ⅰ组，１１例），儿童Ｆ_４组（Ⅱ组，１３例）和成人Ｆ_４组（Ⅲ组，１３例）进行比较，用Ｓｙｓｔａｔ计算机统计软件作多因素方差分析和Ｐｅａｒｓｏｎ相关研究。结果见Ⅱ、Ⅲ组病人的ＰＯ_２仅和核浆比有关，Ｐ_（ＲＶ）与细胞的核体密度、横径、核浆比及肥大肌细胞比率明显有关，肥大肌细胞比率与病人年龄及ＰａＯ_２明显相关。作者认为Ｆ_４病人右室心肌超微结构改变主要系右室压力增高所致，这种改变与年龄有关。     

UVB radiation induces phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor, decreases EGF binding and blocks EGF induction of ornithine decarboxylase gene expression in SV40-transformed human keratinocytes

Abstract We previously demonstrated that epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces a several-fold increase in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and the steady-state level of ODC mRNA in cultured SV40-transformed human keratinocytes (1). Pretreatment of cell cultures with ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation resulted in a reduction of EGF-induced ODC activity. To determine whether UVB inhibits the accumulation of ODC mRNA by EGF, cells were pretreated with 20 mJ/cm² UVB or sham-irradiated and then incubated with 100 ng/ml EGF. Northern blot analysis revealed that UVB irradiation entirely blocked the EGF induction of ODC mRNA. Since the binding of EGF to its plasma membrane receptor is the first step in initiating a biological response, the effect of UVB on EGF binding was evaluated. UVB treatment of cultured keratinocytes resulted in an immediate and dose-dependent reduction of EGF binding. Scatchard analysis revealed thai the reduction of EGF binding was due to a 52% decrease in the number of available receptors, from 6.2 × 10⁴/cell to 3.0 × 10⁴/cell. However, UVB decreased the EGF-binding affinity very little (Kd = 0.60 nM in control and Kd=0.75 nM in UVB-treated Z114 cells). In addition, UVB did not alter the rate of EGF internalization. These data suggest that UVB blocks the signal transduction pathway of EGF that is involved in regulation of ODC gene expression. Immunoblot analysis of extracts from irradiated cells showed that UVB induced tyro-sine phosphorylation of EGFR and that the quantity of EGFR protein was unaffected by UVB treatment. Phosphorylation of EGFR may be responsible for decreased binding of EGF to its receptor.

A Study of Early Pregnancy Factor Activity in Preimplantation

PROBLEM and METHOD: Early pregnancy factor (EPF), an Immunosuppressive substance, which appears in pregnant women's sera 48 h after fertilization, is a kind of pregnancy-specific protein. To determine whether the EPF activity could be a super early indicator of pregnancy, we used rosette inhibition assay to detect EPF activity in the sera, collected from 70 women 2–7 days after ovulation intending to conceive monitored by ultrasonography. Simultaneously we selected 40 non-pregnant sera and 12 early-pregnant sera as negative control and positive control, respectively. RESULTS: The results of this study demonstrated that EPF activity is detected in 35 women's sera out of 70 women within 2–7 days after ovulation, and 28 women out of the 35 were pregnant, which was known by follow-up, and 7 were not pregnant, possibly due to either false positive results or embryo loss because of preimplantation failure, thus causing no pregnancy. The other 35 out of 70 had no EPF activity and 34 of them were not pregnant, which was known by follow-up, but one case became pregnant, which was false negative result. Our study showed that diagnosis of the super early pregnancy could be made by detecting EPF activity in maternal serum within the time of preimplantation. The accuracy of pregnancy diagnosis by this method is 88.6%, with a false negative rate of 3.4% and a false positive rate of 17.1%. The β-HCG level was measured from the above 70 women's sera in order to contrast EPF activity. All of the sera collected 2–6 days following ovulation indicated that there were lower β-HCG values in very early pregnancy (≥a5 mIU/ml). On the seventh day after ovulation, EPF activity was detected in 11 out of 15 sera with only 2 of them with a b-HCG level that reached or slightly surpassed that of the early pregnancy diagnosis (5 mIU/ml and 5.4 mIU/ml, respectively). This demonstrated that β-HCG is not the earliest signal of pregnancy; otherwise the EPF activity is one that appears 2–6 days earlier than β-HCG appears. We measured the progesterone level of the 48 sera from the 70 collected above within 2–7 days postovulation and found most of them reached the level of progesterone in the luteal phase (7.5–98.3 nmol/L). This indicated that ovulation had taken place in these women, which was in accordance with observations by ultrasonography. CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that diagnosis (of 88.6%) of super early pregnancy could be made with an accuracy of 88.6% by detecting EPF activity in maternal serum within 2-days after ovulation. This offers a basis for pregnancy diagnosis for the women who attempt to terminate their pregnancy safely or who conceive unexpectedly, and it contributes to family-planning.
