Objective To investigate the effect of metformin used during early pregnancy on pregnancy outcome of pregnant women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods Two hundred and fifteen pregnant women with PCOS history were selected into our investigation from March 2007 to February 2010,among which,58 patients were taken as metformin group as they had taken metformin during early pregnancy,or with impaired glucose tolerance complicated by marked hyperinsulinemia and history of recurrent miscarriage.All patients in the study group received metformin (1.0～1.5 g/d) during early pregnancy.The rest 157 gravidas with PCOS history did not receive metformin as control group.The outcomes of pregnancy in the two groups were compared with x2 or t test.Results The early spontaneous miscarriage rate of metformin group was significantly lower than that of control group (5.2 ％ vs 28.7 ％,x2 =13.476,P＜0.01).There was no statistical difference in the rate of late abortion (6.90％ vs 6.4 ％ ),hypertension during pregnancy (3.9％ vs 4.9％),preeclampsia (3.9％ vs 3.9％),preterm birth (13.7％ vs 20.6％) and oligohydramnios (5.9％ vs 3.0％) between control group and metformin group (P ＞ 0.05 respectively).And there was no significant difference in neonatal birth weights [(2925±530) g vs (2910± 659) g],the rate of asphyxia (3.7％ vs 6.8％),malformation (0.0％ vs 0.9％),hypoglycaemia ( 5.6％ vs 6.8％),fetal macrosomia ( 1.9％ vs 3.4％),fetal growth restriction (5.6％ vs 6.0％) and rate of neonatal intensive care unit admission (18.0％ vs 27.4％) between the two groups (P＞0.05,respectively).The infants were followed up for 3 years and all are physically and mentally normal.Conclusions Metformin administration during early pregnancy might reduce the early spontaneous miscarriage rate of PCOS patients,and the adverse effects of metformin have not been identified on fetals and infants.

Event-related potentials (ERP) is some kind of brain potentials that recorded from cranial surface when human cognitive processing an object(pay attention, memorize, thinking, etc). ERP consists of a variety of cognitive function and related components. Including early composition, mismatch negativity (MMN), N2 family, P3 family, and other related components of language processing. These components are closely related to human cognitive function,the research of ERP can lead to a deeper understanding of cognitive function of human brains and has important application value of forensic medicine.

BACKGROUND: Ethanol chemical damage method can be used to establish thin endometrium rat model. Expression of proliferation-related proteins is decreased in thin endometrium animal model, which contributes to the study of thin endometrium-related mechanism and provides guidance for clinical treatment. OBJECTIVE:To explore the changes in vimentin and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in rat modelsof high concentrations of ethanol-induced thin endometrium. METHODS: 0.3 mL 95% ethanol was slowly injected in the right uterus of female Sprague-Dawley rats to establish rat models of thin endometrium. An equal volume of physiological saline was injected into the left uterus as control sides. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The thickness of endometrium in the injured uterus was significantly thinner than the control ones. Number of glands reduced, structure became disorder, and vimentin and vascular endothelial growth factor expression markedly diminished. These results suggest that 95% ethanol injury can effectively establish rat models of thin endometrium. Proliferation-related protein expression altered in the thin endometrium.

Objective To explore the role and efficacy of VEGF and HGF gene adenovirus vector in promoting angiogenesis in ischemic tissue.Methods 84 Kunming mice were randomly divided into sham group,control group,VEGF group,HGF group and VEGF+HGF group,and the left lower limb ischemia model was established.The blood supply of ischemic tissue was observed by rheometer,and the expression levels of VEGF and HGF in each group were detected by Western Blot and ELISA.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect angiogenesis(CD31,SMA)in ischemic tissues.Safety was assessed by side effects during treatment in mice.Results After the successful modeling,the blood flow velocity of the left lower limb in each group decreased significantly.On the 7th day after operation,the blood flow of the left lower limb in each group was significantly better than that on the 0th day after operation(P<0.05),and the blood flow of the left lower limb in Ad-VEGF-HGF group was significantly better than that in other groups(P<0.05).On the 28th day after operation,the blood flow of the left lower limb in Ad-VEGF-HGF group gradually stabilized,the blood flow in Ad-VEGF-HGF group was significantly better than that in other groups,and both VEGF group and HGF group were significantly better than the control group(P<0.05).On the 7th,14th,and 28th days following surgery,HGF and VEGF protein levels in the Ad-HGF,Ad-VEGF,and Ad-VEGF-HGF groups were substantially greater than those in the control group(P<0.05).The expression level in the Ad-VEGF-HGF group peaked on the 14th day(all P<0.001)and subsequently declined to preoperative levels on the 28th day after operation.Conclusion Ad-VEGF-HGF gene injection can effectively boost VEGF and HGF protein expression and rapidly reach the relative peak level,encour-aging angiogenesis after lower limb ischemia,increasing blood flow,and improving lower limb circulation.

Japanese encephalitis is an acute central nervous system infectious disease caused by Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) with brain parenchyma inflammation, characterized by high fever, headache, positive meningeal irritation, impaired consciousness, convulsion, and respiratory failure, with mortality rate as high as 20%-30%, and with neurological sequelae in 30%-50% of survivors. The mechanism of brain damage caused by JEV infection is still unclear, and some studies imply its close relation with immune-inflammatory response. This article reviews the research progress on immune-inflammatory response mechanism of Japanese encephalitis to help to understand its pathogenesis.

Objective To establish a county-level trauma treatment model,designed to prioritize efficiency and guided by a multidisciplinary approach for emergency green channels.Methods Adhering to the Consensus of Experts on the Construc-tion and Management of Trauma Centers in Municipal Comprehensive Hospitals(2020),and using the trauma center creation plan from Guangdong Province as a reference,we established a county-level trauma center,leveraging its strengths and unique at-tributes,with the emergency department as its core.Results The application of information technology facilitated the establish-ment of a two-way referral information platform and a three-tiered diagnosis and treatment system for county medical communities,thereby enhancing the efficiency and quality of healthcare.The implementation of the emergency green channel multidisciplinary treatment team model significantly improved the admission rates for complex and critical cases and increased the utilization of new technologies.Conclusion The development of a county-level emergency treatment system,spearheaded by the establishment of a provincial-level trauma center and a multidisciplinary team model for emergency green channels,can expedite trauma patient care,augment diagnostic efficiency and treatment efficacy,and catalyze advancements in medical technology within county hospitals.
