Objectives To investigate the clinical features of clomiphene citrate (CC) resisitant in patients with the polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods A total of 145 women with PCOS were analyzed in the center for reproductive medicine of our hospital. According to the responses to CC ,patients were divided into two groups:(1)the CC resistant group(n = 32),(2)the CC response group(n = 113). The clinical features were compared between these two groups. Results (1)Body weight,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure and F?G scores were significantly higher in the CC resistant group than those in the CC response group (P < 0.05, respectively).(2)Basic antral follicle counts(AFC),C reaction protein(CRP),fasting insulin(FI)and HOMA?IR in the CC resistant group were significantly higher than those in the CC response group (P < 0.05, respectively),however,no significant difference was observed in sex hormones between these two groups. Conclusion PCOS patients with CC resistant are more likely to have higher body weight,BMI,blood pressure, insulin resistant?indexes and basic AFC ,the clinical doctors should consider these features before the treatment of ovulation induction.

Objective To quantify the correlation between isometric and isokinetic tests of core muscles during trunk rotation. Methods The strength of the core muscles of 38 healthy males was measured isometrically and isokinetically ( at 60°/s) during trunk rotation.The left and right peak rotation torque ( LPT,RPT) and the ratio of left to right torque (L/R) were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis and paired t-tests. Results The subjects' LPTs and RPTs were positively correlated ( rL =0.644,P ≤ 0.01 ;rR =0.566,P≤0.01 ) There were significant differences in the L/R ratios determined using the two tests (r=0.663,P≤0.01 ).The regression equations predicting LPT and RPT were yL =22.330 + 0.937x and yR =32.752 +0.847x,respectively.Paired t-tests showed that tL =4.562,P≤0.01 and tR =3.855,P≤0.01 during left or right rotation.There was a significant difference,but there was no significant difference in LPT/RPT. Conclusion Isometric and isokinetic tests of core muscles during trunk rotation give results which are strongly correlated.Either can correctly reflect the maximal strength of core muscles during trunk rotation.Clinicinas may reasonably choose either testing method to assess patients and guide treatment according to the patient's clinical symptoms and the severity of the problem.

Objective To observe the changes in inflammatory mediators in plasma in respiratory distress syndrome(RDS) of neonates received lung protective ventilation treatment. Methods Sixty newborn infants,diagnosed as RDS of neonatal and needed ventilator support, were recruited from the intensive care unit from May 2003 to May 2006. Infant with RDS were randomly divided into two groups. Both had 30 newborn infants. The infants in the experimental groups received lung protective ventilation treatment tidal volume:5-8 ml/kg,positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP):0.51~0.98 kPa, and the control groups received large tidal volume ventilation (tidal volume:10-15 ml/kg,PEEP:0-0.29 kPa). The contents of TNF-?, interleukin-6 in plasma were measured. Results After those two therapies, the contents of tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?), interleukin-6 in plasma decreased obviously, especially after receiving lung protective ventilation treatment. Conclusions There are statistical differences in the amount of inflammatory mediators released between the experimental group under lung protective ventilation treatment and the control group received large tidal volume ventilation,and better effects are seen in RDS infants under lung protective ventilation treatment .

Objective:To explore the effect of the microenvironment induced by damaged mouse hepatic cells on the conversion of human umbilical cord blood-derived cells into hepatocyte-like cells. Methods: A hepatic injury-like microenvironment was mimicked using carbon tetrachloride damaged mouse hepatic cells, where mononuclear cells (MNC) from human umbilical cord blood were cultured in a compartment separated by trans-well membrane. Histochemical staining, reversed transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and gene sequencing were performed for the information on the conversion of human umbilical cord blood MNC. Results: A number of PAS positive stained cells in MNC co-cultured with damaged mouse hepatic cells were observed after 72 h. Cells expressing mature hepatocyte markers, human albumin (hALB) and human GATA-4 (hGATA-4) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR, which was further confirmed with sequencing. Relevant control groups, MNC co-cultured with normal mouse hepatic cells and MNC cultured alone remained negative. Conclusion: The culture system using damaged mouse hepatic cells as stimulator could be a potential in vitro system for the conversion of human umbilical cord blood-derived cells into hepatocyte-like cells.
