Objective To investigate the release pattern of insulin after the load of glucose in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ) and normal oral glucose tolerance.Methods Sixty-three patients with PCOS were undertaken oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin release test,while 34 women with normal menstrual cycle served as control.Results Among 63 patients with PCOS,33 cases were obese with body mass index over 25 kg/m2,including 5 with abnormal OGTT.All 30 non-obese patients with PCOS had normal OGTT.The prevalences of insulin resistance were 78.8％,16.7％,and 9.0％ in obese PCOS,non-obese PCOS,and control groups,respectively.Abnormal insulin release curve were found in 84.5％,70.0％,and 14.7％ of subjects in these 3 groups,respectively.In 58 PCOS patients with normal OGTT,the prevalence of insulin resistance was 44.8％,and 75.9％with abnormal insulin release curve. Among them,body mass index of 32 patients,whose homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and fasting insulin remained in normal range,was similar to those of control group [ ( 20.52 ± 2.86 vs 20.01 ± 2.54 ) kg/m2,P＞0.05].Conclusion These findings indicate that insulin release test is useful in detecting insulin resistance.Insulin release is elevated in PCOS patients even with normal OGTT.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the conversion of resin monomer, the change of inorganic component and the influencing factors on the oxygen inhibition layer formed on the cured surface of resin cement. METHODS: Three kinds of resin cement were divided into three groups: (1) light-cured group: RelyX Veneer, NX3 (light-cured), Variolink N; (2) dual-cured group: RelyX U200 Automix, NX3 (dual-cured), Multilink Speed; (3) chemically-cured group, and the above 3 types of dual-cured resin cement cured without illumination could be used as chemically-cured resin cement. Each sample was provided with and without oxygen exposure of two matching surfaces, cured respectively, and the variables of light intensity and illumination time were set in the light-cured group and the dual-cured group. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the samples' surface morphology. Energy dispersive spectrometer was used to analyze the samples' composition of surface elements. Confocal Raman spectroscopy was used to measure the monomer conversion of resin cement and to obtain the thickness of the oxygen inhibition layer. RESULTS: (1) On the surface of cured resin cement, the weight percentage of oxygen element in the aerobic side was higher than that in the anaerobic side (P < 0.05), and the weight percentage of inorganic element was lower than that in the anaerobic side (P < 0.05). (2) The surface monomer conversion of the cured resin cement on the aerobic surface was significantly lower than that on the anaerobic surface (P < 0.05), and the surface monomer conversion on the aerobic surface and the anaerobic surface was the lowest in the chemically-cured group (P < 0.05), the dual-cured group was the highest (P < 0.05), and the light-cured group was between them. With the increase of light intensity or illumination time, the surface monomer conversion increased (P < 0.05). (3) The thickness of the oxygen inhibition layer was the thickest in the chemically-cured group [(40.27±2.81) μm](P < 0.05), the thinnest in the dual-cured group [(21.87±5.42) μm](P < 0.05) and light-cured group [(23.73±3.84) μm] was between them. With the increase of light intensity or illumination time, the thickness of the oxygen inhibition layer of resin cement decreased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION When resin cement is exposed to oxygen, it will form an oxygen inhibition layer, its surface's inorganic filler is less, the surface monomer conversion is lower. The surface monomer conversion and the thickness of oxygen inhibition layer are affected by curing mode and illumination factors.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of secondary hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) in adults.Methods:The clinical data of 43 adult patients with primary secondary HPS in Mianyang Central Hospital of Sichuan Province from January 2014 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patient's clinical manifestations and biochemical indicators were summarized. The clinical characteristics of patients between high-level ferritin (≥5 000 μg/L) group and low-level ferritin (<5 000 μg/L) group, lymphoma-related HPS group and infection-related HPS group were compared. Logistic regression model was used for multivariate survival analysis.Results:All patients had fever as the main complaint, and infections were manifested at the onset or during treatment. In all patients, 88.4% (38/43) had hemophagocytosis in the bone marrow; 88.4% (38/43) had varying degrees of cytopenia; 36.6% (15/41) had reduced fibrinogen [median value 0.93 g/L (0.50-1.35 g/L)]; 76.7% (33/43) had elevated aminotransferase. Compared with the low-level ferritin group (19 cases), the high-level group (21 cases) had a lower proportion of monocytes (0.081±0.040 vs. 0.163±0.076, P = 0.016), the incidence of fibrinogen reduction and the incidence of aminotransferase elevation were high [60.0% (12/20) vs. 11.1% (2/18), P = 0.002; 95.2% (20/21) vs. 52.6% (10/19), P = 0.006]. Compared with infection-related HPS patients, lymphoma-related HPS patients had a higher incidence of lymphadenopathy [72.7% (16/22) vs. 27.8% (5/18), χ2 = 8.021, P = 0.005] and a lower incidence of aminotransferase elevation [59.1% (13/22) vs. 94.4% (17/18), χ2 = 4.848, P = 0.028]. Multivariate analysis showed that the high proportion of neutrophils ( OR = 0.886, 95% CI 0.786-0.998, P = 0.046) and high-level albumin ( OR = 0.376, 95% CI 0.156-0.907, P = 0.030) after treatment were protective factors for survival of patients. Conclusions:Among adult patients with primary secondary HPS, the proportion of monocytes in patients with ferritin ≥5 000 μg/L is low, and liver damage and fibrinogen reduction are more likely to occur. Lymphoma-related HPS patients are more likely to have lymphadenopathy, and infection-related HPS patients are more likely to have liver damage. After treatment, a low proportion of neutrophils and hypoproteinemia indicate a poor prognosis in adult patients with secondary HPS.

BACKGROUND:Currently, there is a lack of efficient, non-invasive way to transplant stem cels to the target organ or tissue. Exploring a way to guide targeting transplantation of stem cels and to improve the efficiency of stem cel homing is now one of focuses in the field of stem cels research.
OBJECTIVE: To establish a simple and feasible method to chemicaly modify the cel surface using biotin-streptavidin reaction system, and to evaluate the efficiency of this method to label bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels (BMSCs) and its effects on cel biological functions.
METHODS: Passage 3 BMSCs were obtained by whole bone marrow culture method and verified by flow cytometry. Biotin, streptavidin, sulfonated biotin-N-hydroxy-succinimide were used to equip the adhesion molecule ligand, sialyated LewisX (SLeX), to the BMSCs surface. The labeling rate of BMSCs was assessed using fluorescence microscope, the vitality of BMSCs was evaluated by trypan blue staining, and the proliferation of BMSCs was evaluated by cel counting kit-8 assay. Adipogenic and osteogenic inductions were used to evaluate the effect of the method on the multi-differentiation function of BMSCs.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After culture for 2 weeks, passage 3 BMSCs were obtained and confirmed by expressing CD90, CD29 and lack of CD34, CD45. Biotin, streptavidin, sulfonated biotin-N-hydroxy-succinimide were successfuly used to equip sialyated LewisX (SLeX) to the BMSCs surface and had minor effects on the vitality, proliferation, and differentiation of BMSCs. This method was simple for surface modification and had a high modification rate of 88%. The homing of BMSCs modified by this method to the target organ or tissue could be greatly enhanced. Therefore, this method potentialy could have extensive and important applications.
