In this study, serum adiponectin and resistin levels were determined in 46 patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and their correlation with serum sexual hormones and insulin resistance (IR) were examined. The subjects included 26 obese patients with body mass index (BMI)>25 and 20 non-obese patients with BMI[Symbol: see text]25, with 25 obese and 25 non-obese healthy volunteers without PCOS serving as controls. Serum adiponectin and resistin levels in all subjects were measured, and endocrinal and metabolic indices were also analysed. Our results showed that the serum adiponectin levels in both obese and non-obese PCOS groups were significantly lower than their controls, while the serum resistin levels in obese and non-obese PCOS group were significantly higher than in their controls (P<0.001). The serum adiponectin level was significantly lower and serum resistin level significantly higher in the non-obese PCOS group as compared with the obese control group (P<0.05). Serum adiponectin level was negatively correlated with FIN, HOMA-IR, LH and LH/FSH (P<0.05), but serum resistin level was positively correlated with FIN, HOMA-IR, LH and LH/FSH (P<0.05). We are led to conclude that PCOS patients have obvious IR, low serum adiponectin and high serum resistin, and adiponectin and resistin might play important roles in the pathogenesis of IR in PCOS patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different analgesics combined with propofol of intravenous anesthesia on postoperative analgesia and emotion in patients of artificial abortion. Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients who had underwent painless artificial abortion were selected. The patients were divided into 4 groups by random digits table method: simple propofol group (C group, 29 cases), fentanyl combined with propofol group (F group, 30 cases), oxycodone combined with propofol group (Q group, 30 cases) and sufentanil combined with propofol group (S group, 33 cases). The induced dose of propofol was 2.5 mg/kg. When patients had limb movement during operation, a single addition of propofol 0.5 mg/kg was added until the body movement disappeared. The changes of mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate and respiratory rate before and after operation were compared among the 4 groups. The emotional status was assessed with affective scale before operation and 1 h after operation. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of abdominal pain at 10, 30 and 60 min after palinesthesia. The propofol dose, operation time, recovery time and adverse reaction were recorded. Results No obvious adverse reactions were found during the operation. There was no statistical difference in operation time among 4 groups (P>0.05). The propofol dose, recovery time, body movement and the VAS score at 10, 30, 60 min after palinesthesia in F group, Q group and S group were significantly lower than those in C group, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05);but there were no statistical difference among F group, Q group and S group (P>0.05). The MAP, heart rate and respiratory rate at beginning of the surgery and during the surgery were significantly lower than that before anesthesia in the 4 groups, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05); but there were no statistical differences in MAP, heart rate and respiratory rate among 4 groups (P>0.05). The positive affective score after operation in C group, F group, Q group and S group was significantly higher than that before operation: (24.6 ± 5.6) scores vs. (21.7 ± 6.2) scores, (24.6 ± 3.1) scores vs. (20.6 ± 4.6) scores, (28.3 ± 6.3) scores vs. (20.8 ± 5.3) scores and (25.2 ± 5.4) scores vs. (19.9 ± 4.8) scores, and the negative affective score after operation in C group, F group, Q group and S group was significantly lower than that before operation: (17.0 ± 5.3) scores vs. (29.7 ± 7.4) scores, (17.2 ± 3.0) scores vs. (30.8 ± 5.0) scores, (16.1 ± 5.1) scores vs. (30.4 ± 4.9) scores and (17.9 ± 4.0) scores vs. (32.1 ± 5.5) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The positive affective score after operation in Q group was significantly higher than that in C group, F group and S group, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in negative affective score after operation among 4 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions The fentanyl, sufentanil and oxycodone combined with propofol of intravenous anesthesia in patients underwent artificial abortion can reduce propofol dose, shorten recovery time, improve positive affective score, decrease negative affective score and strengthen the analgesic effect, and doesn't increase the adverse reaction. The respiratory and circulatory inhibition effects of different analgesics combined with propofol of intravenous anesthesia were similar, but oxycodone can increase positive affective score.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, which is caused by cardiac structural abnormalities and dysfunction. It can lead to ventricular filling and impaired ejection capacity with high incidence and mortality . The constant activation of the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in the development of heart failure. Angiotensin angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI), angiotensin angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB) and aldoste?rone receptor antagonist (MRA) had been confirmed to be with good therapeutic effects therefore played important roles in heart failure treatment strategy shown by large scale clinical trials. The first PARADIM-HF data published by European So?ciety of Cardiology in annual meeting on August 30, 2014 showed that LCZ696 can reduce cardiovascular mortality risk of HF patient by 20%when combining with beta blockers and MRA . It also reduced the number of hospitalizations of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) by 21%. LCZ696, using its unique dual phase mode verified that the regulation of neuroen?docrine is the modern concept for the treatment of heart failure. LCZ696 lead to innovation and shed new light in traditional drug treatment for heart failure.

Objective To investigate the clinical prognostic value of neutrophils to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STIMI)who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Meth?ods A total of 326 patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction were enrolled. According to the neutro?phils to lymphocyte ratio, patients were divided into group T1(≤3.46), group T2(3.47-6.75)and group T3(>6.75). Basic clinical data,laboratory indexes,coronary angiography results, TIMI grading and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) were collected in all groups. Incidence of adverse events in hospital such as acute heart failure, thrombosis, ventricular tachy?cardia and ventricular fibrillation, atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block and cardiogenic shock, were recorded. Major ad?verse cardiac events(MACE), death of all causes, non-fatal MI, ischemic stroke and readmission due to heart failure at the 6-month follow-up were also noted. Results The incidence of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia/ven?tricular fibrillation and cardiogenic shock was higher in group T3 than those in the other two groups(P < 0.05).The inci?dence of multivessel coronary artery disease was significantly higher in group T3 than that in group T1 (54.1% vs 37.0%, P<0.05). The percentage of TIMI grade 3 in post-operative infracted artery was significantly lower than that in group T1 (83.5%vs 94.4%). Left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly lower in group T3 than that of group T1 during hospital?ization (0.48 ± 0.10 vs 0.52 ± 0.10). There was no significant difference in the incidences of death, non-fatal MI, ischemic stroke at 6 month follow up. But the rate of readmission due to heart failure was significantly higher in group T3 than that in the group T1(P<0.05). Conclusion Neutrophils to lymphocyte ratio may be a useful marker to predict the prognosis of pa?tients with heart failure due to acute myocardial infarction.

In recent years, the problem of bacterial resistance has become more and more serious, which has brought troubles to global public health and medical care. The time and money required to develop new antibiotics is even greater than before. Bacteriophage is a kind of virus that can specifically infect bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and other microorganisms. Relying on host bacteria to replicate in large numbers, rich species, low research and development cost, the value of anti-infection therapy is very considerable. It is a new generation of biological antimicrobial agents with great potential. This paper briefly describes the sterilization mechanism, progress of research on anti-infection aspect and clinical application of phage, in order to provide reference for phage anti-infection treatment and clinical application.
