Objective:To discuss the correlation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3[25(OH)D3] with chronic inflammation and insulin resistance (IR) in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients.Methods:One hundred and twenty-four PCOS patients registered from January 2018 to January 2020 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University were selected retrospectively. According to the difference of body mass index (BMI), the patients were divided into PCOS 1 group (BMI<25 kg/m 2, 64 cases) and PCOS 2 group (BMI≥25 kg/m 2, 60 cases). At the same time, 60 patients with simple obesity were selected as the obesity group and 58 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The somatology indicators, gonadal hormone, serum 25(OH)D3, insulin resistance (IR) related index and chronic inflammation factors were measured, the correlations of serum 25(OH)D3 with relevant indicators were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The BMI, waist hip ratio, testosterone(T), luteinizing hormone (LH) / follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), free androgen index(FAI), fasting insulin (FINS), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), insulin sensitivity index (ISI) in the four groups had significant differences ( P<0.05); the level of 25(OH)D3 in the PCOS 1 group was lower than that in the PCOS 2 group: (1.14 ± 0.36) nmol/L vs. (1.83 ± 0.25) nmol/L, P<0.05; the levels of FINS, HOMA-IR in the PCOS 2 group were higher than those in the PCOS 1 group, obesity group and control group: (13.26 ± 2.61) mg/L vs. (5.58 ± 1.03), (6.63 ± 1.42), (4.66 ± 0.85) mg/L, 1.49 ± 0.37 vs. 1.15 ± 0.20, 1.12 ± 0.22, 0.96 ± 0.11, P<0.05; the level of ISI in the PCOS 2 group was lower than that in the PCOS1 group, obesity group and control group: - 4.19 ± 0.78 vs. - 3.52 ± 0.74, - 3.23 ± 0.53, - 3.06 ± 0.54, P<0.05. The levels of interleukin-6(IL-6), transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the four groups had significant differences ( P<0.05); the level of IL-6 in the PCOS 2 group was higher than that in the PCOS 1 group: (18.15 ± 4.93) ng/L vs. (14.77 ± 4.58) ng/L, P<0.05. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the serum of 25(OH)D3 had negative correlation with IL-6, BMI, waist hip ratio, T, FINS, ISI, TGF-β and TNF-α( r = - 0.582, - 0.242, - 0.371, - 0.203, - 0.208, - 0.267, - 0.723, - 0.617, P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum 25(OH)D3 is correlated with chronic inflammation and IR, and involved into the genesis and progression of PCOS.

China prospective multicenter birth cohort (Prospective Omics Health Atlas birth cohort, POHA birth cohort) study was officially launched in 2022. This study, in collaboration with 12 participating units, aims to establish a high-quality, multidimensional cohort comprising 20 000 naturally conceived families and assisted reproductive families. The study involves long-term follow-up of parents and offspring, with corresponding biological samples collected at key time points. Through multi-omics testing and analysis, the study aims to conduct multi-omics big data research across the entire maternal and infant life cycle. The goal is to identify new biomarkers for maternal and infant diseases and provide scientific evidence for risk prediction related to maternal diseases and neonatal health.

Infectious bone defect is bone defect with infection or as a result of treatment of bone infection. It requires surgical intervention, and the treatment processes are complex and long, which include bone infection control,bone defect repair and even complex soft tissue reconstructions in some cases. Failure to achieve the goals in any step may lead to the failure of the overall treatment. Therefore, infectious bone defect has been a worldwide challenge in the field of orthopedics. Conventionally, sequestrectomy, bone grafting, bone transport, and systemic/local antibiotic treatment are standard therapies. Radical debridement remains one of the cornerstones for the management of bone infection. However, the scale of debridement and the timing and method of bone defect reconstruction remain controversial. With the clinical application of induced membrane technique, effective infection control and rapid bone reconstruction have been achieved in the management of infectious bone defect. The induced membrane technique has attracted more interests and attention, but the lack of understanding the basic principles of infection control and technical details may hamper the clinical outcomes of induced membrane technique and complications can possibly occur. Therefore, the Chinese Orthopedic Association organized domestic orthopedic experts to formulate An evidence-based clinical guideline for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique ( version 2023) according to the evidence-based method and put forward recommendations on infectious bone defect from the aspects of precise diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, operation procedure, postoperative management and rehabilitation, so as to provide useful references for the treatment of infectious bone defect with induced membrane technique.
