[Objective]To observe the dynamic changes of serum LH levels in different GnRH-along protocols ,and investigate the relationship between GnRH-adosage and LH levels ,and compare the clinical outcomes among different GnRH-a long protocols.[Methods]In this retrospective study,1.0 mg,0.8 mg,0.375 mg long-acting and 0.1 mg/d,0.05 mg/d short-acting GnRH-a long protocols were included from January to June in 2015 at the Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University. Serum LH levels were evaluated from a total of 250 women at the four time points,on the day before gonadotropin stimulation(Gn0),the fourth day of Gn stimulation(Gn4),the seventh day of Gn stimulation(Gn7),and the HCG administration day(HCG day),then the relationship between serum LH levels and the dosage of GnRH-a were analyzed. The number of oocytes retrieved,fertilization rate,good quality embryos rate,blastocyst transferred rate,the number of transferred embryos,implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate were also compared.[Results]Among the long-acting groups,LH levels in 0.375 mg group were higher than those in 1.0 mg and 0.8 mg groups at the four time points(P<0.05). Total Gn dose,duration of Gnstimualtion and HMG dosage of 1.0 mg protocol and 0.8 mg protocol were significantly higher than those of 0.375 mg group(P < 0.05). In addition,the implantation rate showed an increasing tendency when the level of LH increases(P>0.05). In short-acting groups,the LH levels in 0.05 mg/d protocol were significantly lower than those in the 0.1 mg/d group at Gn0,Gn7 and HCG day(P<0.05). Total Gn dose,du?ration of Gn stimulation and HMG dosage did not show significant difference between 0.05mg and 0.1mg group. What′s more,the im?plantation rate in 0.1 mg/d group was higher than in 0.05 mg/d group(P>0.05).[Conclusion]Among the long-acting groups,the smaller amount of GnRH-a was administrated ,the higher LH levels during ovarian stimulation and implantation rate the patients ob?tained. As to the short-acting groups,the LH level and implantation rate in 0.1 mg/d group is higher than those in 0.05 mg/d group.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of NH4(+)-N/NO3(-)-N ratios in the applied supplementary fertilizer on the growth, nitrogen metabolis related enzymes activity and photosynthetic characteristics of Isatis indigotica.
METHODThe sand culture experiment was conducted, and seedling of I. indigotica was fertilized with the mixed nutrition that containing the Hoagland's macro elements and the Aron's micro elements, the additional 63 mmol N was supplementary with the NH4(+)-N/NO3(-)-N ratio of 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 and 0:100.
RESULTThe biomass of I. indigotica increased at first when the supplementary N of NH4(+)-N/NO3(-)-N ratio changed from 100:0 to 50:50 and decreased afterwards. The maximum value was at 50:50 and the minimum at 100: 0. With increasing the ratio of NO3(-)-N, the activity of nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase increased and then decreased and the relationship between the activity and the ratio could be described with an approximate parabola curve. The net photosynthetic rate of I. indigotica was the highest at the NH4(+)-N/NO3(-)-N ratio of 75:25 and the lowest at 100:0.
CONCLUSIONIncreasing the NO3(-)-N ratio properly was beneficial to promote the growth and improve the activity of nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase and net photosynthetic rate of I. indigotica.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and endoscopic detection rate of proximal serrated polyps and to screen the risk factors. Methods The data of 9010 colonoscopies performed by 22 endoscopists between September 2016 and September 2017 were reviewed. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) and proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSDR) were calculated, and the correlation between ADR and PSDR was estimated by Pearson correlation coefficients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze PSDR among endoscopists. Results For all subjects, the mean ADR was 30. 07% ( ranged from 20. 00% to 40. 78%) and mean PSDR was 4. 70% ( ranged from 1. 52% to 9. 28%) . PSDR of males was 1. 38 times of that of females ( OR=1. 38, 95%CI:1. 13-1. 69, P<0. 01) . For 3560 cases ( 39. 51%) of 50 years and older subjects, the mean ADR was 45. 01% ( 28. 99%-57. 78%) and mean PSDR was 6. 08%(2. 07%-10. 56%). PSDR was moderately correlated with ADR (r=0. 48, P=0. 02). PSDR of males was 1. 36 times of that of females (OR=1. 36, 95%CI: 1. 04-1. 80, P=0. 03). Endoscopist was a significant risk factor for detection of proximal serrated polyps ( P<0. 01) . Compared with endoscopist with the highest PSDR, odds ratio of other endoscopists ranged from 0. 16 (95%CI:0. 06-0. 40, P<0. 01) to 0. 83 (95%CI:0. 53-1. 32, P=0. 44) . Conclusion Proximal serrated polyps are more common in males, who are over 50 years old. The PSDR is highly variable and dependent on endoscopists. It is possible that a certain proportion of proximal serrated polyps are missed during colonoscopy.

Objective:To investigate the types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in polytrauma patients at different stages after polytrauma.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on polytrauma patients admitted to multiple trauma centers from June 2020 to December 2021. The inclusion criteria were patients >18 years old and treated due to polytrauma. Exclusion criteria included an admission time of more than 48 h after trauma, a history of malignancy, or metabolic, consumptive, and immunological diseases. The early stage was defined as the period of ≤48 h after polytrauma, and the middle stage was defined as the period between 48 h and 14 days. The patient’s medical history, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, imaging examination, injury severity score (ISS), and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) were collected. The types, incidences, and clinical characteristics of shock in different stages after polytrauma were analyzed, according to the diagnostic criteria of each type of shock. The differences between the groups were compared by Student’s t test, χ2 test or Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The incidence of the early and middle stage shock after polytrauma were 73.1% and 36.4%, respectively, with statistically significant difference between stages ( P<0.01). There were significant differences in the incidence of hypovolemic shock (83.6% vs. 28.4%), distributed shock (13.7% vs. 80.9%) and cardiogenic shock (3.5% vs. 6.6%) between stages (all P<0.05). The incidence of obstructive shock (8.4% vs. 9.7%, P>0.05) was similar between stages. The incidence of undifferentiated shock was 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively. There were 9.5% patients with multifactorial shock in the early stage and 14.4% in the middle stage. Totally 7 combinations of multifactorial shock were found in different stages after polytrauma. In the early stage, the combination of HS and DS accounted the highest ratio (42.3%) and followed by HS and OS for 28.8%. In the middle stage, the combination of HS and DS was the most common (48.6%) and followed by DS and OS (24.3%). Conclusions:The incidence of shock in polytrauma patients is high. Different types of shock can occur simultaneously or sequentially. Therefore a comprehensive resuscitation strategy is significant to improve the success rate of treatment.
