Objective To investigate the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphisms( SNP) of rs228648 and rs2890565 in urotensin Ⅱ (UTS2)gene with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods The genotypes of two SNPs in UTS2 gene were determined through polymerase chain reaction Tin-shift genotyping method. 101 Chinese Han families trios in Shandong Province consisting of fathers,mothers,and affected daughters with PCOS and 105 healthy women were recruited. The physiological and biochemical parameters including serum follicular stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone( LH),testosterone,fasting plasma glucose,and insulin were also measured. Results The distributions of three genotypes and two alleles of SNP rs228648 in UTS2 gene were similar between PCOS group and control group. The distributions of genotypes of SNP rs2890565 in UTS2 gene differed significantly between PCOS group and control group (P<0. 05). The frequency of A allele of SNP rs2890565 in UTS2 gene was significantly higher in PCOS group than that in control group( P<0.05). Transmission disequilibrium test(TDT) did not show significantly biased transmission of two different alleles from parents to affected daughters at rs228648 locus (P>0. 05) ,but showed an excess transmission of A allele from heterozygous parents to affected offspring at rs2890565 locus (P<0. 05). The carriers with GG genotype of SNP rs228648 had significantly higher HOMA-IR compared to those with AA and AG genotypes. The carriers with AA or AG genotype of SNP rs2890565 had significantly higher fasting plasma glucose and fasting insulin compared to those with GG genotypes. HOMA-IR in cases with AA genotype was significantly higher than that with GG genotype. Conclusions There is no association of SNP rs228648 with PCOS, but exists association with insulin resistance. The genetic polymorphism of UTS2 gene rs2890565 may be associated with PCOS,and the higher frequency of A allele is likely to contribute to PCOS.

Background:
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) leads to thinning of scalp hair and affects 60%~70% of the adult population worldwide. Developing more effective treatments and studying its mechanism are of great significance. Previous clinical studies have revealed that hair growth is stimulated by 650-nm red light.
Objective:
This study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of 650-nm red light on the treatment of AGA by using ex vivo hair follicle culture.
Methods:
Human hair follicles were obtained from hair transplant patients with AGA. Hair follicles were cultured in Williams E medium and treated with or without 650-nm red light.Real-time RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the expression level of genes and proteins in hair follicles, respectively. RNA-sequencing analysis was carried out to reveal the distinct gene signatures upon 650 nm treatment.
Results:
Low-level 650 nm red light promoted the proliferation of human hair follicles in the experimental cultured-tissue model. Consistently, 650 nm red light significantly delayed the transition of hair cycle from anagen to catagen in vitro. RNA-seq analysis and gene clustering for the differentially expressed genes suggests that leukocyte transendothelial migration, metabolism, adherens junction and other biological process maybe involved in stimulation of hair follicles by 650-nm red light treatment.
Conclusion
The effect of 650-nm red light on ex vivo hair follicles and the transcriptome set which implicates the role of red light in promoting hair growth and reversing of miniaturization process of AGA were identified.

Objective:To compare the complications between breast-conserving surgery with free dermal fat graft (FDFG) and traditional breast-conserving surgery (TBCS) in breast cancer patients, and to analyze the influencing factors for the incidence of complications of breast-conserving surgery with FDFG.Methods:The clinical data of 120 breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery with FDFG (FDFG group, 50 cases) or TBCS (TBCS group, 70 cases) in Liuzhou People's Hospital from June 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The incidence of overall complications and various complications between the two groups were compared, the influencing factors of complications in the FDFG group were analyzed, and the cosmetic outcome was evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, lymph node status, clinical TNM stage, etc (all P > 0.05). In the FDFG group, the proportions of patients with the longest tumor diameter > 3 cm and tumor in upper inner quadrant were significantly higher than those in the TBCS group [52.0% (26/50) vs. 27.1% (19/70), χ2 = 7.69, P = 0.006; 38.0% (19/50) vs. 15.7% (11/70), χ2 = 7.73, P = 0.005]. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and weight of resected tissues in the FDFG group were higher than those in the TBCS group [(251±69) min vs. (213±41) min, (107±29) ml vs. (68±26) ml, (8.8±2.5) d vs. (6.1±1.6) d, (81±26) g vs. (56±20) g], and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 10.14, 30.58, 22.20, and 14.54, respectively, all P < 0.001). There were no significant differences in the incidence of overall complications, bleeding, infection, or poor wound healing between the two groups (all P > 0.05). The incidence rate fat liquefaction in the FDFG group was higher than that in the TBCS group [14.0% (7/50) vs. 1.4% (1/70), χ2 = 5.53, P = 0.019]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the weight of FDFG ( OR = 14.056, 95.0% CI 1.764-111.985, P = 0.013) and the thickness of FDFG ( OR = 19.599, 95.0% CI 1.743-220.345, P = 0.016) were independent influencing factors for the incidence of complications in the FDFG group. The percentage of 'excellent' or 'good' cosmetic outcome in the FDFG group was 90% (45/50). Conclusions:Breast-conserving surgery with FDFG can extend the resected area for tumor without increasing the incidence of overall complications and could provide patients a superior cosmetic outcome, but the incidence of fat liquefaction is higher than that of TBCS. The weight and thickness of FDFG are the influencing factors for the incidence of complications of breast-conserving surgery with FDFG.

To explore the role of progesterone in the pathogenesis and development of hemangioma in nude mice.
Methods: The hemangioma model was established. Progesterone was injected intramuscularly at different doses (0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mg/d) for one week. Camellia oil (0.4 mL/d) was injected intramuscularly as control. The size of hemangioma was observed dynamically. The subcutaneous implants were harvested on the 14th and 28th days. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in the tumor tissues were evaluated using immunohistochemistry and microvessel density (MVD) was counted under the microscope.
Results: On the 14th day, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively) was higher, the volume of tumors (All P<0.01) and MVD (All P<0.01) were greater in the high-dose progesterone group than those in the control and low-dose progesterone group. On the 28th day, there was no significant difference in the volume of tumors among 4 groups (P>0.05). The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (P<0.01) was lower, and MVD (All P<0.05) were less in the middle-dose and high-dose progesterone group than those in the control and low-dose progesterone group.
Conclusion: Progesterone promotes angiogenesis via upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor expression, promotion of hemangiomas proliferation, suggesting that excessive progesterone supplementation may be one of the initial factors for early hemangioma formation.

To explore the proportion for facial aesthetics that may be recognized by the potential group who will do plastic surgery in the future.
Methods: We measured the celebrity photos, who were born before 1980 recognizable by the people over 40 years old or by high school students. The proportions for facial aesthetics recognizable by these two generations were obtained and compared.
Results: Compared the new generation of male celebrities with the older generation of male celebrities, the difference was statistically significant by the independent samples t test (t=-2.502, P<0.05), while other ratios were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Compared the new generation of female celebrities with the older generation of female celebrities, the difference was statistically significant by the independent samples t test. The ratios between inter-canthic diameter and eyeslit breadth, mouth breadth and eyeslit breadth, stirnhohe and 1/3 of the physiognomic facial height, nasal height and 1/3 of the physiognomic facial height were significantly different (P<0.05), while other ratios were not significantly different (P>0.05).
Conclusion: The young new generation loves more larger eyeslit breadth for men, while a larger eyeslit breadth, smaller bizygomatic breadth and sharper chin for women.
