Objective To observe whether high-level insulin increases serum uric acid level and rosiglitazone improves hyperuricemia, and to explore the mechanism. Methods OLETF rats with spontaneous type 2 diabetes complicated with metabolic syndrome and normal control LETO rats were randomly divided into three groups (n=20 each). The animals were fed with standard chow diet in control group, high-purine diet and adenine administered intragastrically in experimental group, and rosiglitazone in interventional group. Body weight, serum levels of uric acid, insulin, triglyceride ( TG ) , and total cholesterol ( TC ) were measured after 3 weeks. Urate transporter 1 ( URAT1 ) and uric acid transporter (UAT) mRNA expressions in renal cortex were examined. HK-2 cells were incubated with various concentrations of insulin for 24 hours. UAT mRNA expression in HK-2 cells was examined. Results ( 1 ) In control group, the insulin level of OLETF rats was significantly higher than that of LETO rats ( P<0. 05 ), and there was no significant difference in serum uric acid level between OLETF and LETO rats. (2)In experimental groups, the insulin level in OLETF rats was significantly higher than that in LETO rats [(61.83±12.13 vs 36.73±12.73 )μIU/ml ,P<0. 05], and the incidence of hyperuricemia (76.92% vs 36.13%,P<0.01 ) and serum uric acid level[( 327.75 ±45.73 vs 264.40±36.32 ) μmol/L, P<0. 01]in OLETF rats were significantly higher than those in LETO rats. (3) Insulin[(41.3± 10.2 vs 61.8±12. 1 )μIU/ml,P<0. 05]and uric acid[( 198.0±45.4 vs 236.9±29.30 ) μmol/L, P<0. 05]levels in OLETF rats in interventional group were significantly lower than those of OLETF rats in experimental group, meanwhile the amount of urinary uric acid excretion was significantly increased[(5 644±371 vs 4 692±278 ) μ mol/L, P<0. 05]. (4) There was no significant difference in insulin level and the expressions of URAT1 and UAT mRNA in renal cortex between OLETF rats in control group and experimental group. URAT1 mRNA expression of OLETF rats in interventional group was significantly decreased, while UAT mRNA expression was significantly increased. (5)With the increase of insulinconcentration in culture medium, the expression of UAT mRNA expression in HK-2 cells was gradually decreased. Conclusions Rosiglitazone may alleviate hyperinsulinemia-induced hyperuricemia via regulating UAT and URAT1 mRNA expression.

OBJECTIVETo introduce and evaluate the technical feasibility and anatomical and functional outcomes of one-stage vaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis.
METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed our experiences with 17 patients with Mayer- Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome treated with primary surgery from September 2010 to April 2013. All patients underwent vaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis. We describe the details of this technique, observe the time of epithelization and evaluate the long- term anatomical, functional, and sexual outcomes.
RESULTSThe time of epithelization was 13 d (range: 12-15 d). At a mean follow-up of 15 months (range: 12-24 months), the mean postoperative dependence on the vaginal stent was 11.7 ± 1.64 months (range: 9-15 months), the mean depth of the neovagina was (9.0 ± 0.94) cm (range: 7-11 cm), the mean circumference was (12.3 ± 1.36) cm (range: 10.0-14.5 cm) and the mean volume was (105 ± 10) ml (range 85-120 ml). The mean female sexual function index score of the 12 sexually active patients was 29.5 ± 2.6. No spouse reported discomfort during intercourse.
CONCLUSIONSVaginoplasty with autologous buccal micromucosa combined with acellular allogenic dermis is an effective and feasible approach for patients with Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome. The procedure has satisfactory long-term anatomical and functional results. The use of the acellular allogenic dermis is limited by the high price and the potential infection.

Objective:
To collect preliminary data of normal Chinese female genital appearance, to compare the parameters of Han and Uygur nationality, and to present the preliminary data for normal female external genitalia database.
Methods:
This study design recruited healthy females referred to the out-patient clinic for physical examination from October 2014 to March 2015 in Xinjiang Petroleum Geological Survey Department Staff Hospital. The recruitment was based on rigid inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic data consists of nationality, age, height, weight, marital status, gravidity, parity, vaginal delivery, and intercourse frequency. Anthropometric measurements were taken in 234 females of Han group whereas 278 females of Uygur group. For each individual 16 parameters were measured. The external genitalia appearance in Han and Uygur nationality was compared. The significance of variations in age, height, weight, BMI, gravidity, parity, vaginal delivery and intercourse frequency were analyzed.
Results:
Primary measurements of Han and Uygur nationality are presented as mean (95% confidence interval). There are many differences in female genital appearance between Han and Uygur nationality. Several parameters were statistically associated with age, BMI, gravidity, parity, vaginal delivery and intercourse frequency. The females with complete labial asymmetry account for 5.6%(13/234) and 5.8%(16/278) in Han and Uygur normal adults, respectively.
Conclusions
This study presented the external genitalia measurements of normal Chinese female adults in Xinjiang, thus providing the preliminary data for normal female external genitalia database. Females of Han and Uygur nationality have multiple differences in external genitalia appearances. The parameters are associated with age, BMI, gravidity, parity, vaginal delivery, and intercourse frequency. The labial asymmetry is a universal phenomenon.

Objective:To analyze the distributions of ABO and RhD blood groups by analyzing the basic data of blood group detection among voluntary blood donors in Huainan in 2021, to provide data support for blood recruitment, clinical use of blood, and emergency guarantee of rare groups of blood.Methods:ABO and RhD blood groups of 24 484 voluntary blood donors eligible for blood donation in 2021 were detected using the Metis150-8 automatic blood group analyzer, manual saline method, antihuman globulin method, and manual polybrene test. The blood group results were statistically analyzed.Results:Among 24 484 voluntary blood donors in Huainan in 2021, A blood group accounted for the highest proportion (7 463 cases, 30.48%), followed by O blood group (7 444 cases, 30.40%) and B blood group (7 056 cases, 28.82%), and the last was AB blood group (2 521 cases, 10.30%). A total of 143 cases of RhD-negative blood were detected, and the negative frequency of RhD was 0.58% (143/24 484). Among the RhD-negative blood samples, 43 cases of type A, 41 cases of type B, 46 cases of type O, and 13 cases of type AB were RhD-negative, accounting for 30.07%, 28.67%, 32.17%, and 9.09%, respectively. There was no statistical difference in the detection rate of Rh-negative blood among different ABO blood groups in Huainan ( χ2 = 0.36, P = 0.948). The ABO blood group distribution of voluntary blood donors in Huainan in 2021 was not identical to those of voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou, Yueyang, Xinjiang Bozhou, Zhangzhou, and Liuzhou. The proportion of type A blood donors in Yueyang was higher than those in other regions. The proportions of type B blood donors in Huainan, Xinjiang Bozhou, and Zhangzhou were higher than those in other regions. The proportion of type O blood donors in Liuzhou was higher than those in other regions. The proportions of type AB blood donors in Huainan and Xinjiang Bozhou were higher than those in other regions. Conclusion:The distributions of ABO and RhD blood groups among voluntary blood donors in Huainan region have certain regional characteristics. Central blood banks and medical institutions should reasonably store and supply blood according to the blood collection from voluntary blood donations and the needs of clinical transfusion, to prevent the occurrence of situations such as blood expiration and waste.
