Objective Through testicular biopsy and detection of serum sex hormone levels in patients with azoospermia,to explore the relationship between spermatogenic function of testis,testicular volume and serum LH and FSH levels.Methods 80 cases of azoospermia patients adimitted from Jan.2012 to Dec.2014 were collected as the research object.Immunization method was used to detect the serum sex hormone leve,testis model was adopted to detect testicular volume,and routine disinfection was given to make testicular biopsy.According to testicular biopsy results,patients were divided into normal spermatogenic function group (group A),spermatogenic dysfunction group (group B),sertoli-cell-only syndrome group (group C);percutaneous sperm group (group D),and puncture azoospermia group (group E).At the same time,50 cases of healthy male were selected as the control group and they received sperm routine examination and sex hormone detection.Correlation between spermatogenic function of testis,testicular volume and serum LH and FSH levels were studied.Results Serum levels of LH and FSH had no significant difference among group A,group B and the control group (P>0.05).Serum level of LH and FSH was significantly higher in group C than that in group A,group B and the control group,and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05).Serum level of LH and FSH in group D had no significant difference compared with that of the control group (P>0.05).Serum level of LH and FSH in group E was significantly higher than that in group D and the control group,and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05).The level of LH and FSH was significantly higher in abnormal testicular group than that in normal testis group,and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the spermatogenic function of testis was negatively correlated with serum LH and FSH levels (r=-0.473,-0.441,P<0.05).Testicular volume was negatively correlated with serum LH and FSH levels(r=-0.643,-0.715,P<0.05),and the difference had statistical significance.Conclusion The determination of serum LH and FSH levels has important clinical value for predicting testicular spermatogenic function in azoospermia patients,and can be used to guide clinical puncture and prognosis judgement.

Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2018;38(5):362-366
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) is a set of single-stranded RNA molecules with a length of 18-27 nucleotides,which can regulate the genesis and development of tumor and play the role of tumor suppres sor or oncogenic function by regulating its targeted gene-related signaling pathways.MicroRNA-21 (miR-21)is one of the early discovered miRNAs in human cells,and its expression is significantly elevated in a majority of cancers.The abnormal expression of miR-21 is closely associated with pathogenesis and progression of cancers.In this review,the progress of miR-21 in the occurrence,development,metastasis,treatment and molecular imaging of malignant tumors are summarized.

Ovarian cancer is the second deadliest gynecological malignancy around the world. The survival rate is closely related to the tumor stage and treatment. Radionuclide imaging, as a functional imaging at the molecular level, can provide a non-invasive method for in-depth understanding of pathophysiological process, which is important for the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer. Nuclear imaging of malignant tumors has become a hot and important research topic in basic and clinical research. This review summarizes the current process in nuclear imaging of ovarian cancer, including glucose metabolism, cell proliferation, cellular receptors/proteins, and immune molecule imaging.

ObjectiveTo analyze the management and treatment for patients with severe mental disorders in Chengdu from 2016 to 2020, in order to provide references for the relevant authorities to formulate policies and improving the mental health service system. MethodsData relating to 22 districts (cities) and counties in Chengdu from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020 were extracted from the National Information System for Severe Mental Disorders. Indicators such as reported prevalence rate, management rate, standardized management rate, medication rate, regular medication rate and stable condition rate of patients with severe mental disorders were analyzed on a yearly basis. ResultsBy the end of 2020, there were 71 899 registered cases of severe mental disorders in Chengdu, with a reported prevalence rate of 0.34%, a standardized management rate of 95.53%, and a regular medication rate of 72.50%. From 2016 to 2020, except the reported prevalence rate (χ²=269.566, P<0.01), management rate (χ²=384.030, P<0.01), standardized management rate (χ²=309.742, P<0.01), medication rate (χ²=414.252, P<0.01), regular medication rate (χ²=316.172, P<0.01) and stable condition rate (χ²=288.335, P<0.01) had linear trends of increasing with the annual increase. ConclusionFrom 2016 to 2020, the management rate, treatment rate and regular medication rate of patients with severe mental disorders have been increased year by year in Chengdu. Nevertheless, the increase in reported prevalence rate should be accompanied by strengthened management and follow-up to increase the regular medication rate to maintain the stability of patients' conditions.
