Objective: To investigate the association between congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and the adverse outcomes during hospitalization in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI). Methods: This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study was conducted based on the data from the Sino-northern Neonatal Network (SNN). Data of 5 818 VLBWI with birth weight <1 500 g and gestational age between 24-<37 weeks that were admitted to the 37 neonatal intensive care units from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2022 were collected and analyzed. Thyroid function was first screened at 7 to 10 days after birth, followed by weekly tests within the first 4 weeks, and retested at 36 weeks of corrected gestational age or before discharge. The VLBWI were assigned to the CH group or non-CH group. Chi-square test, Fisher exact probability method, Wilcoxon rank sum test, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between CH and poor prognosis during hospitalization in VLBWI. Results: A total of 5 818 eligible VLBWI were enrolled, with 2 982 (51.3%) males and the gestational age of 30 (29, 31) weeks. The incidence of CH was 5.5% (319 VLBWI). Among the CH group, only 121 VLBWI (37.9%) were diagnosed at the first screening. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CH was associated with increased incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) (OR=1.31(1.04-1.64), P<0.05) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) of stage Ⅲ and above (OR=1.74(1.11-2.75), P<0.05). However, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed no significant correlation between CH and EUGR, moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in stage Ⅱ or above, and ROP in stage Ⅲ or above (OR=1.04 (0.81-1.33), 0.79 (0.54-1.15), 1.15 (0.58-2.26), 1.43 (0.81-2.53), 1.12 (0.70-1.80), all P>0.05). Conclusion: There is no significant correlation between CH and in-hospital adverse outcomes, possibly due to timely diagnosis and active replacement therapy.

Objective:To investigate the molecular interaction between non-structural protein 3 serine protease of hepatitis C virus(HCV)and wild type P53,and to lay the basis for elucidating the mechanism of oncogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after infection of HCV.Methods:The recombinant plasmids,pGAD424-NS3,pGAD424-NS315aa- and pGAD424-NS330aa-,were constructed and the interaction between NS3 serine protease and its cofactor NS4A,the interaction between wild type P53 and NS3 serine protease and its N-truncated mutants were dectected qualitatively and quantitatively in yeast two-hybrid system.Results:The results indicated that interaction existed not only between full-length NS3 serine protease and P53,but also between N-truncated mutants of NS3 serine protease and P53.Furthermore,the difference between enzyme activity unit(IU)of β-gal induced by these interactions was not significant(P>0.05).Conclusions:NS3 serine protease of hepatitis C virus and its N-truncated mutants can interact with wild type P53,and the region of NS3 serine protease involved in the interaction may be located in its C-terminal,but not in its N-terminal.
