Ovulatory dysfunction (OD) is one of the main causes of infertility in women of childbearing age, which not only affects their reproductive ability, but also physical and mental health. Traditional treatment strategies have limited efficacies, and the emergence of biomedicines provides a promising alternative solution via the strategies of combining engineered design with modern advanced technology. This review explores the pathophysiological characteristics and related induction mechanisms of OD, and evaluates the current cutting-edge advances in its treatments. It emphasizes the potentials of biomedicines strategies such as hydrogels, nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles in improving therapeutic precision and efficacy. By mimicking natural physiological processes, and achieving controlled drug release, these advanced drug carriers are expected to address the challenges in ovarian microenvironment reprogramming, tissue repair, and metabolic and immune regulation. Despite the promising progress, there are still challenges in terms of biomedical complexity, differences between animal models and human physiology, and the demand for intelligent drug carriers in the therapy of OD. Future researches are mainly dedicated to developing precise personalized biomedicines in OD therapy through interdisciplinary collaboration, promoting the development of reproductive regenerative medicine.

Objective:To report the clinical outcome of finger replantation in Tibetan plateau.Methods:From August, 2018 to August, 2019, a total of 12 patients with 15 amputed digits treated in the Department of Emergency of Lasa People’s Hospital. All these cases were performed replantation without exclusion, including 4 cases of machine-mangled injury, 3 cases of steel rope crushing injury, 4 cases of electric saw injury, and 1 case of rotation avulsed injury. Replantations were performed under microscope by a fresh team of microsurgery surgeons. Antibiotics, anticoagulants and vasodilators were prescribed postoperatively. Application of oxygen inhalation through nasal tube and warm room temperature were advised. Tabaco and coffin were strictly forbidden postoperatively. All patients were regular followed-up after operation.Results:Twelve out of total 15 amputed digits successfully replanted, 3 digits turned to necrosis eventually. The survival rate was 80% (12/15). All cases were followed up for 4-16 months. According to the Functional Evaluation Standard of Replantation by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association, the results were excellent in 3 digits, good in 7 digits, fair in 1 digit, poor in 4 digits. The excellent and good rate was 66.6%(10/15).Conclusion:In this group, the survival rate and excellent and good rate of finger replantation in Tibetan plateau is unexpected high. Thus, it is deducible that digit amputation can be successfully replanted with good functional result when meticulous microsurgical techniques are applied, although the unique adverse factors of Tibetan plateau exist.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics, respond of treatment and prognosis in infants with atrial tachycardia (AT). Methods The clinical data of 23 infants with AT from August 2014 to November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The respond of treatment and prognosis were observed. Results Of all the 23 infants with AT, incessant AT was in 5 cases, and paroxysmal AT was in 18 cases. There were 13 infants diagnosed with AT combined with cardiac insufficiency, and among them, 5 cases were combined with tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy (TIC). Echocardiography showed that atrial septal defect in 3 cases, patent foramen oval in 6 cases, ventricular septal defect in 1 case, ventricular septal defect combined with patent foramen oval in 2 cases, ventricular septal defect combined with atrial septal defect in 1 case, and ventricular septal defect combined with coarctation of the aorta in 1 case. The curative effect was excellent in 11 cases, effective in 8 cases, and ineffective in 4 cases at discharge. There was no statistical difference in curative effect between patients with normal cardiac function and cardiac insufficiency at discharge (P＞0.05). The infants were followed up for 12 months, AT disappeared in 19 cases, 1 case progressed to sick sinus syndrome, and 3 cases were lost in follow-up. Conclusions AT can be insidious in infants, but with a favorable prognosis if treated with cardiotonic drugs and antiarrhythmic drugs during the short and mid-term follow-up. Long-term follow-up should be taken to learn more about the prognosis.

Objective To compare the surgical effects between minimally invasive anterior ondontoid screw fixation assisted by our self-designed odontoid guider and open anterior ondontoid screw fixation in the treatment of odontoid fractures of Anderson-D'Alonzo type Ⅱ.Methods From July 2011 to July 2016,28 adults with odontoid fracture of Anderson-D'Alonzo type Ⅱ were treated at Department Ⅱ of Spinal Surgery,Hospital of 89 Army Group of Chinese PLA.Of them,15 were treated by minimally invasive anterior ondontoid screw fixation assisted by our self-designed odontoid guider (guider group) while the other 13 by open anterior ondontoid screw fixation (open group).All the patients were male,aged from 31 to 59 years (average,42.7 years).The 2 groups were compared in terms of incision length,operation time,intraoperative bleeding,intraoperative fluoroscopic frequency and hospital stay.Results There were no significant differences between the 2 groups of patients in their preoperative general data,indicating they were compatible (P ＞ 0.05).All the patients were followed up for 12 to 45 months (average,22.1 months).The internal fixation was in good place and clinical union achieved in all the 28 patients.The incision length (2.2 ± 0.1 cm),operation time (45.0 ± 3.1 min),intraoperative bleeding (29.0 ± 2.3 mL) and intraoperative fluoroscopic frequency (15.5 ± 1.9 times) for the guider group were all significantly less than those (2.9 ±0.7 cm,61.6±3.8 min,51.6±3.9 mL and 21.7±3.2 times,respectively) for the open group (P ＜0.05),but there was no significant difference between the 2 groups in hospital stay (6.5 ± 0.5 d versus 6.5 ± 0.6 d) (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of odontoid fractures of Anderson-D'Alonzo type Ⅱ,compared with open anterior ondontoid screw fixation,the minimally invasive anterior ondontoid screw fixation assisted by our self-designed odontoid guider may lead to a smaller incision,shorter operation time,less blood loss and a lower fluoroscopic frequency.

Objective To establish and verify the fluctuation of reference intervals for biochestry parameters in routine physical exami-nation. Methods The results of biochemistry parameters,i.e., total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), total bilirubin (T-Bil), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glucose (Glu), urea (Urea), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), triacylglycerol (TG) and total cholesterol ( TC) from 2 089 healthy subjects in routine physical examination during consecutive 2014, 2015 and 2016 were randomly collected, in which all the results were within the reference range. The ratio (λ1) of the results of 2015 to those of 2014, and ratio (λ2) of the re-sults of 2016 to those of 2015 were calculated. λ1was analyzed statistically to establish the fluctuation of reference interval (CIλ). CIλ was verified by λ2.The personalized reference interval (CIp) was established by multiplying each result of 2015 and the upper and low-er limits of CIλ. The CIpwas verified by the results of 2016. The ratios of CIpto the upper and lower limits of conventional reference in-terval were calculated. Results The values of CIλwere as follows: TP: 0.91 to 1.08, Alb: 0.91 to 1.08, T-Bil: 0.58 to 1.74, ALT:0.49 to 1.99, Glu: 0.84 to 1.20, Urea: 0.67 to 1.50, Cr: 0.82 to 1.22, UA: 0.77 to 1.32, TG: 0.51 to 1.98 and TC: 0.80 to 1.26. Compared with conventional reference interval, the ratio of the upper and lower limits of CIp was lessened. Conclusion The personal-ized reference interval (CIp) which may increase the sensitivity of conventional reference intervals was established and verified.

Objective To establish and verify the personalized reference interval of blood cells.Methods The results of blood cells from 2 089 health subjects in 2014,2015 and 2016 were collected.The ratio of the later results to the previous results was defined as the fluctuation (λ).The ratio (λ1) of the results of 2015 to the results of 2014 was calculated and λ1 was analyzed statistically to establish the fluctuation reference interval (CIλ).The ratio (λ2) of the results of 2016 to the results of 2015 was calculated.λ2 was used to verify λ2.The personalized reference interval (CIp) was established by multiplying each result of 2015 and CIλ.CIp was verified by results of 2016.The ratio of the upper and lower limits of CIp was calculated.The ratio of the upper and lower limits of the reference interval (WS/T 405) was calculated.Results The values of CIλ were as follows:WBC (0.66 to 1.53),L(0.67 to 1.51),M (0.50 to 2.00),N(0.56 to 1.78),E(0.4 to 2.51),PLT(0.76 to 1.32),RBC(0.92 to 1.12),Hb(0.92 to 1.11),Hct(0.91 to 1.12),MCV(0.95 to 1.07),MCH(0.95 to 1.05)and MCHC(0.94 to 1.06).The validation tests of CIλ and CIp showed that both CIλ and CIp were suitable for this laboratory.Compared with the reference interval of professional criteria,the ratio of the upper and lower limits of the CIp was smaller than that of traditional criteria.Conclusion CIp for this laboratory was established and verified.Compared with traditional criteria,CIp should be more personalized and highly sensitive.

Objectives To study the early effect of treating teenagers with tibial insertion avulsion fracture of anterior cruciate ligament using the single-tibal tunnel,double Endobutton miniature steel plate combined with twin high-strength Ultrabraid Suture suspension fixation under an anthroscopy.Methods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 21 teenagers with tibial insertion avulsion fracture of anterior cruciate ligament treated between May 2012 and June 2015.They were treated using the single-tibal tunnel,double Endonbutton plate combined with twin Ultrabraid Suture suspension system fixation.The X-ray was taken postoperatively at 1 week,1 month,3 months and every 6 months.Anterior drawer and Lachman tests were used to evaluate the postoperative stability of knee joints,while the Lysholm score was recorded to assess the postoperative recovery.Results The average total intraoperative blood loss,operation duration and follow-up time were(53.95 ± 7.10) ml (ranging from 43 to 68 ml),(38.76 ± 7.71)min(ranging between 27 and 55 min),and(21.86 ± 2.78)months,ranging from 18 to 25 months.All fractures were healed without malunion or nonunion as could be seen in the X-ray taken 3 months after the operation.Moreover,none of the patients suffered from complications such as soft tissue infections or extension lag of the knee joints caused by the femoral intercondylar notch impingement syndrome.The Lysholm score of the last follow-up(97.14 ± 1.35)was significantly higher than that before surgery (40.24 ± 5.81).Conclusion The early efficacy of the single-tibal tunnel,double Endonbutton plate combined with twin Ultrabraid Suture suspension system fixation for teenagers with tibial insertion avulsion fracture of anterior cruciate ligament under arthroscopy is satisfactory.
