Ovulatory dysfunction refers to absent ovulation or luteal insufficiency. It is commonly seen in women with irregular menstruation or menstrual cycles, especially in those with oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Ovulatory dysfunction is considered the single-most frequent cause of female infertility. Clinically, the two major causes of ovulatory dysfunction are polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS). Acupuncture-moxibustion improves ovulation and helps with infertility. Through a systematic review and analysis on relevant literatures in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture-moxibustion Databankover the last decade, this paper summarized the characteristics and pattern of acupuncture-moxibustion points for improving ovulation in order to provide an optimal acupuncture-moxibustion protocol in this regard.

With the increasing demand for rehabilitation medical care, medical education has taken on the important mission of cultivating high-quality rehabilitation talents for "Healthy China", and it is necessary to make attempts to explore the reform of rehabilitation majors in line with social needs and develop a professional layout that fits better with social needs. After more than 20 years of development, a certain scale has been formed for the establishment of rehabilitation majors, but the analysis of related data has revealed the problems such as mismatch of professional disciplines, mixed attributes of professional institutions, and unstable quality of talent training. Based on the setting of rehabilitation majors in the catalogues of undergraduate majors in colleges and universities adjusted and promulgated in 1998, 2012, and 2020 and the addition of majors in different types of colleges and universities in each catalogue, this article summarizes the rules, trends, and characteristics of the development of rehabilitation majors in higher education institutions in China and discusses the current status and existing problems of such majors, so as to provide a theoretical reference for the optimization and adjustment of rehabilitation majors in China.

Objective To explore the effect of intermittent fasting on blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)complicated by overweight and obesity.Methods 46 T2DM patients with overweight and obesity were divided into control group(Con,n=22)and intermittent fasting group(IF,n=24)according to their wishes.Con group was given routine diet and drug treatment by specialists in endocrinology.IF group completed the intermittent fasting by using a combination of meal replacement and natural diet,and hypoglycemic drugs were reduced on fasting days.Results Compared with Con group,IF group showed a significant decrease in body weight,BMI,hypoglycemic drug efficacy score,WC,fat index,hip circumference and visceral fat(VF)(P＜0.05).After intervention,the proportion of diabetes in remission or near remission in IF group was higher than that in Con group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Intermittent fasting can reduce the application of hypoglycemic drugs in T2DM patients with overweight and obesity,and can also reduce weight and VF.

Objective Four different methods were examined to identify a safer and more reliable method for tail vein punctures in C57BL/6 mice. Methods In total,320 mice were randomly divided into four groups: a blank group, incandescent lamp baking method group,three-line method group,and combined method group. Blood samples were taken from the left or right peripheral vein of puncture mice. Puncture success rate of each group was recorded. SPSS 13.0 software was used to compare statistical difference among groups. Results Compared with the blank group,success rates of the other three methods were significantly higher(P < 0.001). Further, the three-line method was better than the incandescent lamp baking method(P< 0.001). The success rate of the combined method was significantly higher than the three-line and incandescent lamp baking methods(P< 0.001). Conclusions The combined method greatly improved the success rate of tail vein punctures in C57BL/6 mice. This method is more reliable and should be more widely used in the future.

Objective: To understand the influencing factors underlying physical exercise behavior among children and adolescents aged 9-18 years in Ningxia, China, in 2019, and to provide suggestions for physical exercise among children and adolescents by adopting a social ecological model. Methods: Based on data related to 12 018 children and adolescents in Ningxia aged 9-18 years old which were obtained from the National Survey on Students Constitution and Health in 2019, the survey questions scored based on the four levels of the social ecological model. Results: The proportion of children and adolescents who engaged in physical exercise for less than 1 hour a day accounted for 55.97% of the total number of people in Ningxia. Regardless of whether they were able to engage in enough physical activity, individual factors played a dominant role in influencing the behavior of the children and adolescents, and an interaction was found between influencing factors at different levels( r=-0.01, 0.01, -0.08, 0.04, P <0.01). The results of the stepwise regression analysis showed that the personal factors e.g. sports makes me healthy, I don t have enough time, muscle strength exercise, I have no movement of any relationship partner, sports make me know partner, policy in the number of physical education, number of sports meeting in a school year, the average daily lesson hold number all affect children s sports activities in time( B =-0.05-0.16, P <0.01). Conclusions The lack of physical exercise among children and adolescents in Ningxia is the result of multiple factors. Comprehensive and diversified intervention should be administered from a socio ecological framework to promote the formation of physical exercise habits among children and adolescents.

Objective: To explore the correlation between obesity and first ejaculation in boys aged 11-18 years old in Ningxia in 2019, and to provide the theoretical reference for puberty development among obese boys. Methods: Using the method of stratified random cluster sampling, 5 240 boys aged 11- 18 were selected from Yinchuan, Zhongwei, Wuzhong and Guyuan in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Height, weight, and first ejaculation were obtained.Body mass index (BMI) was calculated to determine nutritional status, and the χ 2 test was used to compare the differences between groups of nutritional status; the probability unit regression method was used to calculater the soth percentile age at ejaculation, and the U test was applied to compare the differences in age at ejaculation between groups. Results: The rates of overweight and obesity among boys aged 11 to 18 years in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in 2019 were 15.5% and 8.8%. The detection rate of overweight and obesity among urban boys was 17.8% and 10.5% and the detection rate of overweight and obesity among rural boys was 12.9% and 6.9%,respectively. The 50 th percentile age at half ejaculation among urban boys aged 11 to 18 years was 14.94 years; the 50 th percentile age at ejaculation among rural boys was 15.33 years( P <0.01). The 50 th percentile age at ejaculation was 15.61, 15.10, 15.05 and 15.05 years for boys in the wasted, normal weight, overweight and obese groups, respectively. Conclusion Nutritional status was not associated with age at first ejaculation in the present study,but warrants farther investigation.

Objective: To understand the nutritional status and physical quality of children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Ningxia in 2019, so as to provide scientific basis for health promotion children and adolescents. Methods: A total of 16 076 children and adolescents aged 6-18 years old from Ningxia were selected by multi stage stratified cluster random sampling. Weight, height and physical fitness indexes (50 m running, standing long jump, sitting forward flexion) were measured and analyzed. The Chi square test was carried out to compare differences between groups, and the relationship between nutritional status and physical fitness was assessed by Logistic regression models. Results: In 2019, detection rate of stunting loss rate, overweight and obesity rate of children and adolescents aged 6-18 in Ningxia were 6.9%, 12.6% and 8.7%, respectively. The below average rates of sitting forward flexion, 50 m running and standing long jump were 10.0%, 8.6% and 26.7%, respectively, while the passing rates were 63.5%, 63.7% and 55.5%, respectively. The good rates were 14.7%, 11.7% and 12.3%, and the excellent rates were 11.8%, 16.0 % and 5.5%, respectively. The passing rates of sitting forward flexion, 50 m running and standing long jump in stunting group were lower than those in the normal weight group ( OR=0.75, 0.72, 0.77, P ＜0.05); the passing rates of 50 m run and standing long jump in the overweight group was lower than that of normal weight group ( OR=0.79, 0.52, P ＜0.05); the passing rates of sitting forward flexion, 50 m running and standing long jump in the obese group were lower than those in the normal weight group ( OR=0.73, 0.52, 0.32, P ＜0.05). Conclusion In 2019, children and adolescents in Ningxia have the doublel burden of stunting, overweight and obesity. Physical fitness is associated with nutritional status, suggesting weight control might be helpful to keep fitness among children and adolescents.

Objective: To investigate the trend of overweight and obesity among Han students aged 7-18 in Ningxia from the year of 2000 to 2019, and to provide scientific basis for obesity prevention and control among children and adolescents. Methods: Based on the five waves of "National Student Physical Fitness and Health Survey" in Ningxia region during 2000 to 2019, body weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference and other data of Han students aged 7-18 years were included was used for trend analysis. Results: In 2019, the detection rates of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 in Ningxia were 13.34% (1 181/8 855) and 9.19% (814/8 855), respectively. The increase rate of overweight and obesity in boys from 2000 to 2019 was 11.68% and 10.07% ( χ 2=27.60, P <0.01). The rate of overweight and obesity in female students from 2000 to 2019 was 6.95% and 5.77% ( χ 2=33.82, P <0.01). Urban boys had the highest rates of overweight and obesity, which were 11.38% and 10.45%. The growth rate of overweight and obesity in rural boys was higher than that in urban boys after 2010 ( χ 2=13.90,17.09, P < 0.05), and the growth rate of obesity in rural girls was higher than that in urban girls after 2014 ( χ 2=9.94, 33.39, P <0.05). Overweight and obesity prevalence showed positive associations with the economic status in both urban and rural areas ( χ 2=35.19, 35.35, P <0.01). Conclusion From 2000 to 2019, the prevalence of overweight and obesity and body mass index among children and adolescents in Ningxia increased consistently, with more rigirous in rural areas. Specific strategies and measures for overweight and obesity prevention in children and adolescents are in urgent need, to reduce potential social and economic burden.

Objective:To analyze the clinically acceptable and reproducible bladder and rectum volumes of prostate cancer patients during radiotherapy under bladder and bowel preparation, aiming to provide quantitative indicators for bowel and bladder preparation before and after radiotherapy.Methods:Clinical data of 275 prostate cancer patients with strict bladder and bowel preparation and completion of whole course radical radiotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from April 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were scanned with cone beam CT (CBCT) before each treatment and the setup error was recorded. Sixty-six patients were selected by simple random sampling and the bladder and rectum on daily CBCT was outlined using MIM software. The relationship between the ratio of daily bladder or rectum volume to the planned bladder or rectum volume (relative value of volume) and setup error was analyzed. Quantitative data were expressed as mean±SD. Normally distributed data were analyzed by paired t-test while non-normally distributed data were assessed by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results:The bladder and rectum volume on planning CT were (370.87±110.04) ml and (59.94±25.07) ml of 275 patients. The bladder and rectum volumes on planning CT were (357.51±107.38) ml and (65.28±35.37) ml respectively of the 66 selected patients with 1611 sets of CBCT images. And the bladder and rectum volumes on daily CBCT were (258.96±120.23) ml and (59.95 ± 30.40) ml. The bladder volume of patients was decreased by 3.59 ml per day on average during the treatment and 0.37 ml for the rectum volume. According to the bladder volume on planning CT, all patients were divided into three groups: <250 ml, 250-450 ml and >450 ml groups. The relative value of volume in the 250-450 ml group during the course of radiotherapy was the smallest. And the setup error in the superior and inferior (SI) direction was (0.28±0.24) cm and (0.19±0.17) cm in the left and right (LR) direction, significantly lower than those in the other two groups (both P≤0.027). According to the rectum volume on planning CT, all patients were divided into four groups: <50 ml, 50-<80 ml, 80-120 ml and >120 ml groups. The <50 ml group had the smallest relative value of volume during radiotherapy, and the setup error in the SI direction was (0.26±0.22) cm and (0.24±0.22) cm in the anterior and posterior (AP) direction, significantly smaller than those in the other groups (both P≤0.003). The setup errors in the SI, LR, AP directions of the enrolled 66 patients were (0.30±0.25) cm, (0.20±0.18) cm and (0.28±0.27) cm, respectively. Among them, the relative value of bladder volume in the AP direction was (0.73±0.37) in the setup error <0.3 cm group, which was statistically different from those in the setup error 0.3-0.5 cm and >0.5 cm groups (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Under the bladder and bowel preparation before planning CT, the appropriate bladder and rectum volumes are in the range of 250-450 ml and <50 ml, which yields higher reproducibility and smaller setup error.
