Objective: To observe the intervening effect of resveratrol on coxsackie virus B3m-induced mycocarditis in Balb/c mice and explore its mechanism. Methods: An animal model of viral mycocarditis induced by coxsackie virus B3m (CVB3m) was used, taking ribavirin as control drug, to examine the changes of general condition, mortality, the weights of heart, liver and spleen, serum MDA and NO levels, and cardiac histology in Balb/c mice. Results: By comparison with ribavirin, it was found that in the mice model of viral mycocarditis induced by coxsackie virus B3m resveratrol significantly improved the changes of general condition, mortality, the weights of heart, liver and spleen, serum MDA and NO levels, and cardiac histology. Conclusion: It suggested that resveratrol might have some chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effects in the treatment of viral mycocarditis.

Objective To systematically evaluate maternal perinatal complications and neonatal outcomes after in vitro fertili zation and embryo transplantation(IVF-ET).Methods The computer retrieval was performed on the databases of PubMed,Cochrane library,EMbase,CNKI,Wanfang and Chinese biomedical literature database.The articles on the comparison between IVF and natural pregnancy were included.The RevMan5.3 software was adopted to conduct the meta analysis.Results Twenty-three articles conforming to the requirements were included,including 1 312 651 cases,among them 113 044 cases were IVF and 1 199 607 cases were naturalpregnancy.IVF mother's age was larger than that of natural pregnancy,while the gestational weeks were smaller than those of natural pregnancy,the newborn birth weight was lighter than that of natural pregnancy(P<0.05);the probability of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH),placenta previa,postpartum hemorrhage and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurrence in IVF mother were higher than that of natural pregnancy (P<0.05);the rate of multiple and cesarean section in IVF mothers were higher than that of natural pregnancy (P<0.05);the occurrence rates of small for gestational age(SGA),low birth weight infants,stillbirth and premature in IVF were higher than those of natural pregnancy (P<0.05).Conclusion The maternal perinatal complications in IVF are higher than those of natural pregnancy,and the birth outcomes in IVF are worse than those of natural pregnancy.

Objective:To demonstrate the concept of planning target volume (PTV) is not suitable for intensity proton therapy (IMPT) in lung cancer, plan differences were compared based on the concept of PTV and Internal target volume (ITV), aiming to provide clinical reference.Methods:Six patients were retrospectively selected and approved by the local ethics committee. Each of the six patients received two IMPT plans based on a synchronous accelerator model, developed by SINAP team (Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics, China Academy Science University) and commercial treatment system: one with the PTV-based robust IMPT (PTV-IMPT) plan and the other with ITV-based robust IMPT (ITV-IMPT) plan. Three beams were set in all plans, and the final dose was calculated using Monte Carlo dose algorithm. The plan quality and robustness of PTV-IMPT and ITV-IMPT plans were evaluated quantitatively.Results:Compared to the PTV-IMPT plan, ITV-IMPT plan showed better target conformity index (conformability index: 0.58 vs.0.43), better homogeneity index (homogeneity index: 0.96 vs.0.92), lower V 5Gy in normal lung tissue (13.1% vs.13.5%) and maximum dose in spinal cord (8.9 Gy vs. 9.5 Gy) as well as plan monitor unit (MU: 338 vs. 401) . In addition, ITV-IMPT plan showed more robust in target coverage (0.003-0.032 vs. 0.02-0.28), and normal lung tissue was also found a bit robust in the ITV-IMPT plan ( 0.06-0.11, 0.07-0.13). Conclusions:Compared with the PTV-IMPT plan, ITV-IMPT plan has the advantages of high planning quality, well robustness and better tumor motion mitigation. Therefore, ITV concept is recommended to be applied in the IMPT plan for lung cancer.

In recent years, the prevalence of metabolic diseases, including obesity, diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic syndrome, increased significantly. Fatigue is common in metabolic diseases and may lead to functional disability. This complicated feeling imposes a huge influence on patients with metabolic diseases physically and psychologically, which seriously affects the quality of life and brings serious burden to the social economy. There were an increasing number of researches on fatigue and metabolic diseases. This article reviews the evidences of the linkages between fatigue and metabolic diseases.
