Objective To explore the effect of neonatal exposure to different doses of Bisphenol A (BPA)on the hypothalamic -pituitary -testis axis in toddler and adolescent male rats.Methods Neonatal male Sprague -Daw-ley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups through random digital table method:control group,vehicle group,low -dose BPA [25 μg/(kg · d)]group,medium -dose BPA [50 μg/(kg · d)]group and high -dose BPA [250μg/(kg·d)]group.The rats were subcutaneously injected with respective agents on postnatal days 1 -7 (PND 1 -7).Pups were sacrificed on PND 22 and PND 50.The hypothalamus and testis were taken and weighed.The hypotha-lamic Kiss -1 mRNA and the testis androgen receptor (AR)mRNA were tested by using real -time fluorescence quan-titative and the levels of serum luteinizing hormone (LH),follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),testosterone (T)were tested by using radio immunity method,and inhibin B was measured by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results Compared with the controls,the level of serum FSH [(1 .610 0 ±0.693 2)IU /L,(1 .574 3 ±0.675 0)IU /L vs (2.362 9 ±0.580 3)IU /L](F =3.314,P =0.026),LH [(3.876 3 ±0.908 0)IU /L,(3.603 8 ±1 .350 2)IU /L vs (5.302 5 ±0.768 4)IU /L](F =3.1 39,P =0.027)and T [(0.383 8 ±0.1 77 8)μg/L,(0.442 5 ±0.21 4 1 )μg/L vs (0.782 5 ±0.282 1 )μg/L](F =5.1 06,P <0.01 )of medium and high -dose BPA groups,were decreased in PND 22,and the organ coefficient of testis [(0.952 90 ±0.049 1 5)%,(0.969 20 ±0.045 82)% vs (1 .022 80 ± 0.01 1 08)%](F =1 0.326,P <0.01 )and serum T [(1 .758 6 ±0.369 6)μg/L,(1 .71 8 8 ±0.395 7)μg/L vs (3.357 5 ±0.749 8)μg/L](F =1 3.799,P =0.01 2)were significantly decreased in PND 50.In high -dose BPA group of PND 22,the expression of hypothalamic Kiss -1 mRNA (0.068 80 ±0.01 1 79)was increased compared with the other groups (F =272.1 25,P <0.01 ),while in PND 50,compared with control group,the Kiss -1 mRNA (0.002 00 ±0.000 25,0.001 90 ±0.000 48 vs 0.001 40 ±0.000 1 7)of medium -and high -dose BPA groups was decreased(F =1 91 .826,P <0.01 ).Conclusions Neonatal exposure to the medium and high -dose BPA may impair the function of testis in toddler and adolescent male rats,and affect the hypothalamus -pituitary -testis axis.Neonatal exposure to the low -dose BPA does not have a significant influence on the hypothalamus -pituitary -testis axis.

Objective The aim of this paper is to study the hemostasis and security of soluble hemostatic gauze in the rabbit liver hemorrhage model.Methods After making the rabbit liver hemorrhage model, the control group used sterile gauze to stop bleeding, the positive control group used TISTAT to stop bleeding, the test group used soluble hemostatic gauze to stop bleeding. Hemostasis, blood loss and animal clinical symptoms were measured. Liver and kidney parameters, along with histopathology were recorded and analyzed. Transmission electron microscopy examination was also done. Results The blood loss is cut back and hemostasis is shortened in the test group. Other tests have no difference with the control group.Conclusion No toxic effects on rabbit are found in the test group. The hemostatic effects have no difference with positive control group.

Objective To explore the alterations in gray matter volume(GMV)in adolescents with bipolar disorder(BD).Methods 36 BD patients(BD group)and 37 healthy controls(HC group)who underwent magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)for artificial visual inspection in Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital,School of Medicine,Westlake University from September 2019 to December 2021 were selected.Structural MRI data were processed by using FreeSurferv6.0.0,and statistical analysis were conducted by using SPSS 26.0 and R language software.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were employed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of various brain regions.Results Compared to HC group,patients in BD group exhibited significant reductions in GMV in the right superior frontal gyrus,right nucleus accumbens,left insula,right lateral orbitofrontal cortex,and right medial orbitofrontal cortex(P<0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that area under the curve(AUC)for the right superior frontal gyrus and right nucleus accumbens were 0.739 and 0.712 respectively,while the combined AUC for multiple brain regions was 0.820.Conclusion Adolescents with BD show significant reductions in GMV in specific brain regions,provide reference for the early identification and pathological mechanism research of BD.

This review introduces a brief description on the featured properties of polyvinyl alcohol based on hydrogel dressings. During past ten years many new artificial polymeric dressings have been developed, which meet requirements of wound healing. This review mainly focuses on one representative of ideal polymeric wound dressing membranes, polyvinyl alcohol based hydrogel dressings. But as the hydrogels with single component have low mechanical strength, recent trends have offered composite hydrogel membranes to achieve the ideal wound dressing requirements.

Objective:To assess the clinical value of helium-free magnetocardiography(MCG) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease(CAD).Methods:A total of 213 patients with suspected CAD undergoing MCG in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent coronary CT angiography/invasive coronary angiography(CCTA/ICA) within 48 hours after MCG scanning. The parameters of MCG, including magnetic field multipolarization, magnetic field unipolarization, T-wave flattened, change in magnetic field distribution at TT segment, abnormal T-peak amplitude ration of maximum to minimum, significant movement of poles, magnetic field angle deviation and abnormal distribution of positive pole were used for the evaluation of the stenosis of coronary arteries.Results:Among 213 patients, MCG scanning was completed in 193 cases(90.6%), while 20 cases were excluded for various reasons. The CCTA/ICA results were taken as gold standard, the total coincidence rate of MCG with the degree of stenosis was 88.60%(95% CI: 83.25%-92.72%), the sensitivity and specificity of MCG in the diagnosis of CAD was 89.63%(95% CI: 83.21%-94.21%) and 88.23%(95% CI:78.12%-94.78%), respectively; the positive and negative predictive value were 93.80%(95% CI:88.72%-96.68%) and 81.08%(95% CI:72.15%-87.64%), respectively. Conclusion:MCG is highly accurate in the diagnosis of CAD, it may be widely used clinically as an non-invasive method free of radiation or contrast agent.
