To compare the effects of laparoscopic total or subtotal hysterectomy and myomectomy on ovarian reserve by measuring the serum level of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH).A total of 96 patients with uterine fibroids underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH group,n =32),laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (LSH group,n =31) and laparoscopic myomectomy (LM group,n =33).Changes in ovarian reserve were examined by measuring the level of AMH pre-operation and at 1 and 4 months post-operation.No significant differences existed in AMH in LM group[(1.42 ±0.65),(1.31 ±0.53) & (1.33 ±0.61) μg/L,P > 0.05].The levels of AMH in both groups were significantly lower than those at pre-operation [(1.17 ± 0.11),(1.01 ±0.10),(0.48±0.54) & (1.18±0.93),(0.45 ±0.39),(0.14±0.0) μg/L,P<0.001].The mean percentage decrease in AMH was lower in TLH group than that in LSH group at 4-month follow-up [(-37.4 ± 37.6) % vs.(-27.0 ± 23.0) %,P =0.017].The results showed that LM had no effect on ovarian reserve.Both LSH and TLH had adverse effects on ovarian reserve and TLH was more marked.

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is a major route of transmission of syphilis,and may occur at any time during pregnancy.MTCT of syphilis can lead to many adverse pregnancy outcomes,seriously affects maternal and infant health,and has been a severe public health and social problem.The risk of MTCT of syphilis is associated with stage of syphilis in pregnancy,stage of pregnancy,receiving or not receiving treatment,and is especially high in patients with early syphilis.With the growth of incidence of syphilis,the prevention for MTCT of syphilis has been becoming more and more important.Screening for and early treatment of syphilis in pregnancy can effectively block MTCT of syphilis.To learn the epidemiology,route,risk,and associated factors of MTCT of syphilis will undoubtedly facilitate the development of strategies for syphilis prevention and control.

Chronic stress can induce hippocampus injury such as neuron loss, dendrite atrophy, but its mechanism and molecular basis remain unclear up to now. To understand the molecular mechanism on protein level and find the crucial proteins which correlated with chronic stress-induced injury, two-dimensional electrophoresis was applied to separate the hippocampal total proteins of control group and restraint stressed rats, then the differential expressed proteins were detected by image analysis and identified by matrix assisted laser desorption /ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) as well as database searching. Moreover, the 2-DE results were verified on the mRNA level by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The hippocampal 2-DE map with high resolution and good reproducibility of control and stress group rats were obtained. Fourteen differentially expressed protein spots were detected and eleven proteins were successfully identified, most of these proteins were involved in the process of energy metabolism and signal transduction. These results provide a clue for elucidating the mechanism of chronic stress-induced hippocampal injury and are useful for elevating the adaptability to stress.

DNAzymes, screened through in vitro selection, were artificial nucleic acids with catalytic function . They could cleave specific substrates in the presence of cofactors with unique characteristics, such as high catalytic activity, high specificity for cofactors, excellent stability, and easy to synthesize and modify. The combination of DNAzymes with nanomaterials could retain the DNAzyme activity and realize the functional integration of recognition and signal transduction, promoting rapid development of biosensors. In the current paper, we mainly reviewed the recent progress in DNAzyme-nanomaterial based biosensors, and the nanomaterials included gold nanoparticles, graphene, quantum dots, magnetic nanomaterials, and so on.

Objective To investigate the difference of apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) changes in three major salivary glands after gustatory stimulation using two different stimuli. Methods Thirty healthy volunteers were examined with a 1.5 T MR unit. A diffusion-weighted MR imaging (MR DWI) sequence was performed once at rest and continuously repeated 13 times after gustatory stimulation using a commercially available lemon juice and vitamin C tablets in the same volunteer by using self-controlled method. The subsequence of two stimuli was random. In addition, the salivary flow rates at rest and after stimulation were measured. Characteristics and differences in ADCs curves of three salivary glands before and after stimulation between two stimuli were analyzed. Comparison of maximum ADCs, maximum ADCs increase rates (IRs) and times to maximum ADCs(Tmax) between two stimuli was performed by using independent-samples t test. Correlation analysis between rest salivary flow rates and rest ADCs, the maximum salivary flow rates and ADCs after stimulation, the maximum salivary flow IRs and ADC IRs after stimulation were performed by using Pearson correlation test. Results In lemon juice stimulation group, the mean ADCs mostly showed a steady increase to peak values during the first DW MRI scan after stimulation in all glands, followed by a gradually decrease fluctuating slightly around the baseline values. In vitamin C stimulation group, the mean ADCs were significantly increased in all glands during the first DW MRI scan after stimulation, followed by a gradual upward trend till peak values. In lemon juice stimulation group, the mean Tmax of submandibular and sublingual glands[(184±122)s, (345±232)s, respectively] were significantly earlier than those[(454 ± 301)s, (528 ± 297)s, respectively] in vitamin C stimulation group (t=-3.517 and-2.548 respectively, P<0.01 for all). The mean maximum ADCs of three glands in lemon juice stimulation group[(1.05 ± 0.12) × 10-3 mm2/s, (1.22 ± 0.10) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.26 ± 0.21) × 10-3 mm2/s, respectively] were all lower than those in vitamin C stimulation group[(1.13±0.13) ×10-3 mm2/s, (1.32±0.25) × 10-3 mm2/s and (1.57 ± 0.36) × 10-3 mm2/s, respectively], and the differences in parotid and sublingual glands between two groups were significant(t=-2.894 and-3.681 respectively, P<0.01 for all). The mean maximum ADC IRs of three glands in lemon juice stimulation group[(11.35±4.07)%, (8.81±5.40)%, (34.08±21.66)%, respectively] were significantly lower than those[(17.80 ± 12.72)%, (18.16 ± 18.93)%, (67.49 ± 46.04)% , respectively] in vitamin C stimulation group (t=-2.252,-2.330 and-3.432 respectively, P<0.05 for all) . In two groups, the mean maximum ADC IRs of parotid and submandibular gland were all significantly lower than sublingual gland (t=-5.994 and-6.443 respectively, P<0.01 for all). No correlation was observed between ADCs and salivary flow rates, ADC IRs and salivary flow rate IRs in two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion MR DWI with transient stimulation using lemon juice is more stable for evaluating the physiologic changes of salivary glands in vivo.
