Objective To explore the double-labeling method of in 9itu hybridization(ISH) with cRNA probe and immunohistochemistry in the paraffin sections of the skin.Methods The double-standard coexistence signals by situ hybridization and immunohis- tochemistry in 15 cases with acne and folliculitis were observed.Results The blue-violet positive signals of ISH could be observed in the hair follicle epithelium,sebaceous glands and ducts of paraffin section of skin.Meanwhile,the brown dendritic positive signal also could be seen in the sebaceous glands.Conclusions The use of in situ hybridization with digoxin-labeled cRNA probe combined with immunohistochemistry could locate microbial component and epidermal cells on skin paraffin section exactly.

A total of 1 107 Chinese women were retrospectively investigated for the effects of overweight and underweight on ovarian stimulation, as well as the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET)treatment. It showed that overweight women required more ampoules of gonadotrophin [ (36. 87 ±11. 18 vs 33.57±10.96)/ampoule,P<0.01]and had lower peak of estradiol concentration [ (1 846.6±1 390.3 vs 2 337.2± 1 490.6)pg/ml,P<0.01].increased cycle cancellation due to insufficient follicle development(6. 5% vs 2. 8% , P<0.05) ,and a higher miscarriage rate( 10.5% vs 5.4% ,P<0.05)compared with normal weight women. But no differences were found in clinical pregnancy and live birth rates. Compared with normal weight women, underweight women showed no differences in ovarian stimulation and IVF outcome.

Objective This study was designed to investigate the correlationship between plasma metastin and pathogenesis of adolescent women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).MethodsFrom Jan 2006 to Jun.2006.42 PCOS patients including 19 adolescent women and 23 adults with syndrome were treated in Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.According to the range of age,those patients were divided into 19 cases in adolascent group(≤19 years)and 23 cases in aduh group(＞19 years).Meanwhile,20 adolescent women were matched as controls.Blood samples were collected between day 1 and day 5 of a spontaneous bleeding episode in the PCOS groups and a menstrual cycle of the controls.The Jevels of luteinizing hormone(LH)，follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)，testosterone(T)，free T(FT)，dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEAS)，sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG)，insulin，glucose，and metastin were detected from day 1 to day 5 of spontaneous bleeding or withdrawal bleeding by progesterone.On the next day,oral glucose tolerance test(75 g)and insulin release test were performed on those above patients and controls.The area under carve(AUC),the ratio of fasting blood glucose to insulin(GIR)and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance jndex ( HOMA-IR)were calculated.Results(1)The level of hormone:the level of LH was in(12±7)U/L in adult group and(12±8)U/L in adolescent PCOS group，which were significantly higher than(6±4)U/L in controls(P＜0.05).The level of FT was(2.3±1.2)pmol/L in adult group，which was significantly higher than(1.3±0.8)pmol/L in adolescent group and(1.1±0.5)pmol/L in control roup(P＜0.05).It was observed that the level of(3.1±2.7)μmol/L in adolescent group was significantly lower than(6.3±2.7)μmol/L in control group(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the level of FAI of 5.6±4.1 in adult group was significantly higher than 3.0±1.3 in control group(P＜0.05).No significant difference in FSH，T and SHBG levels among three groups were observed (P＞0.05).(2)Metastin and metabolism:Both the levels of fasting blood insulin,2-hour insulin and AUC of insulin were(13±7)mU/L，(88±59)mU/L and(133±80)mU·L-1·min-1 in adolescent group，which were significantly higher than(7±3)mU/L，(57±29)mU/L and(82±34)mU·L-1·min-1 in control group.The fasting blood insulin of(13±7)mU/L in adolescent group was significantly higher than (9±5)mU/L in adult group.The level of fasting blood glucose and 2-hour glucose were(5.01±0.44)mmol/L and(6.48±1.16)mmol/L in adult group，which were significantly higher than(4.68±0.29)mmol/L and(5.44±0.83)mmol/L in control group and(4.67±0.30)mmol/L and(5.93±1.44)mmol/L in adolescent group.The glucose AUC of(9.99±1.85)mmol·L-1·min-1 in adult group was significantly higher than(8.42±1.53)mmol·L-1·min-1 in control group(P＜0.05).HOMA-IR of 2.6±2.0 in adolescent group was significantly higher than 1.4±0.7 in control group.GIR of 10±8 in adolescent group was significantly lower than 16±10 in control group(P＜0.05).The metastin level of (0.25±0.19)pmol/L in adolescent group and(0.29±0.29)pmol/L in adult group were all significantly higher than(0.18±0.23)pmol/L in control group(PPh glucose were observed(r=0.256，0.286 and 0.267.P=0.044.0.025 and 0.043).Conclusions The expression of metastin in adolescent PCOS women was significantly higher that of normal adolescent women The increased level of metastin might be associated with pathogenesis of adolescent women with PCOS.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the difficult embryo transfer on the clinical pregnancy outcome of in vitro fertili-zation-embryo transfer(IVF-ET) .Methods There were 209 fresh cycles of difficultly transferring and 2 489 fresh cycles of easily embryo transferring between January 2011 and December 2012 .The clinical outcome was compared .Results There were statistical-ly significant differences in the catheter blood staining rates (51 .20% vs 27 .68% ,P< 0 .05) ,implantation rate(31 .14% vs 35 . 54% ,P<0 .05) ,and clinical pregnancy rate (46 .41% vs 55 .56% ,P<0 .05)between the two groups .There was no significant difference in the rates of ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage between the two groups (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Difficulty ET will in-fluence the clinical pregnancy .Therefore ,all efforts should be made to avoid the difficult transfer in order to increase the pregnant rate .

Objective To study the relationship between the asthenia TCM syndromes in embryonic development stops and the level of zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium in serum, and provide thoughts for assisting reproduction and preventing miscarriage. Methods Totally 100 patients of embryonic development stops were selected randomly (6-10 weeks gestation) to be the investigated group, with other 100 cases of live fetus as the control group. The contents of trace elements in serum were detected with atomic absorption spectrometry. Results The levels of trace elements in embryonic development stops patients were generally lower than the control group. The serum iron in patients with spleen deficiency syndrome, and serum zinc and iron in patients with kidney deficiency syndrome were significant lower (P<0.05). Conclusion The contents of trace elements in serum have relationships with asthenia TCM syndromes in embryonic development stops. It should be paid attention to supplementing trace elements during the gestation period. For patients with deficiency of kidney and spleen, the supplement of zinc and iron should be given greater prominence.
