Objective To investigate the effects of leptin on steroidogenesis of human luteinized granulosa cell in vitro. Methods Human luteinized granulosa cells were isolated from follicular fluid obtained during oocyte retrieval of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer program and were cultured with M199 medium plus various concentration of leptin (0, 10, 30, 100, 300 ng/ml),human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG, 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 IU/ml) and testosterone 100 μg/ml. For 2 days the media were collected for estradiol and progesterone measurements. Results Addition of leptin alone did not alter estradiol and progesterone production (P>0.05) by human luteinized granulosa cells. Leptin of 10~30 ng/ml concentrations caused a dose-dependent inhibition of estradiol production (P<0.05) while greater than 0.5 IU/ml of hMG were added. There was no effect of leptin on hMG -stimulated progesterone production (P>0.05). Conclusion Leptin can directly inhibit hMG-stimulated estradiol production by human luteinized granulosa cells in vitro, but has no effect on progesterone production. Leptin may play an important role in follicle development and luteinization.

Objective To identify the susceptibile genes in a rat model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA),to determine whether sex affects disease onset and to define the mechanisms that impacts congenic genes on arthritis. Methods Arthritis-susceptible DA rats were compared with sex/age-matched congenic rats in which alleles were substituted with alleles from arthritis resistant PVG rats. Incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) was injected from the base of the tail. Arthritis was visually scored, the messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of congenic genes and cytokine were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The differences between two groups were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test. Results In oil-induced arthritis (OIA), male congenic R16 rats deviated profoundly from DA rats by decreased arthritis severity (5.9±3.8 vs 9.3±2.3, P<0.05 ), and markedly reduced lymph node mRNA levels for calsyntenin-3 (Clstn3) gene (0.7±0.4 vs 2.2±1.6, P<0.01 ) and interleukin (IL)-17 (1.4±2.2 vs 2.7±2.9, P<0.05) and IL-1β (1.5±2.1 vs 2.3±2.5,P<0.05) levels. Conclusion Rat Clstn3 gene regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines of OIA in male rats. The effect of arthritis-susceptible gene Clstn3 is gender-specific.

Objective To summarize the lung HRCT findings of lung Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) in children. Methods A total of 54 children with lung LCH pathologically proved in our institute from September 2006 to December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were subdivided into two subgroups, diffuse type (n=29) and localized type (n=25). In addition, 32 children with LCH but without pulmonary infiltration were selected as control group. HRCT findings of 54 LCH with lung involvement were reviewed and analyzed for distribution pattern. The age of onset, illness duration and pulmonary function were compared between the lung LCH group and the control group. The differences of HRCT findings in LCH patients between diffuse type and localized type were compared with χ2 test. The differences on the onset age, illness duration and pulmonary function between the LCH group with lung involvement and control group were compared with non-parametric test(Mann-Whitney U Test). The differences of pulmonary function between the LCH group with lung involvement and control group were compared with Fisher exact probability test. Results The signs of pulmonary LCH on HRCT included lobular hyperinflation (n=26), interlobular septa thickening (n=11), cystic lesions (n=11), ground?glass opacity (n=10), nodules (n=9), and centrilobular nodules (n=6). The signs presented in 21, 8, 7, 9, 4 and 6 cases in diffuse type group respectively and 5, 3, 4, 1, 5, 0 in localized type group. Among them, lobular hyperinflation, ground?glass opacity and centrilobular nodules were more prevalent in the diffuse group. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=14.77,2.01,0.55,4.84,0.06 and 3.91, P<0.05). The onset age of LCH group with lung involvement was younger than the other (Z=-2.40, P<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the illness duration (Z=-1.46, P>0.05) and pulmonary function between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Lobular hyperinflation, ground glass opacity and centrilobular nodules are the most common manifestations in LCH patients with lung involvement and the distribution is mostly diffuse. Nodules, cystic lesions and interlobular septa thickening may exist. Several signs may coexist simultaneously. Younger children with LCH are more vulnerable to lung involvement.

Objective To compare the CT findings of different phases in pediatric hepatoblastoma (HB) based on PRETEXT system in order to optimize pediatric HB CT scan protocol. Methods A total of 58 HB patients who were surgical and pathological diagnosed from January 2015 to December 2016 were analyzed. Pre-operation CT exams were analyzed respectively. Observing items included tumor size, intra-abdominal invasion, bleeding, intrahepatic metastasis, lymphatic metastasis, metastasis (except lymphatic in abdomen) main portal vein, three main hepatic vein, inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion, para-tumor hepatic arteries, and its branches. All image findings were compared to pathological and surgical findings to calculate the agreement rate. Exact Fisher test and R × C χ2 test were used. Results According to the surgery and pathological results, the agreement rate of tumor size was n=40 (68.9%) at non-contrast phase, n=43 (74.1%) at artery phase and n=52 (91.2%) at venous phase. Venous phase was adaptive for observing tumor size (χ2=8.16,P=0.018). For main portal vein, three main hepatic vein, and IVC invasion, none was found at both non-contrast and artery phase. N=12 (20.7%, P<0.001) was found at venous phase. For para-tumor hepatic arteries, and its branches, none was found at non-contrast phase. N=46 (79.3%) was found at artery phase. N=17 (29.3%) was found at venous phase. Artery phase was adaptive for observing (P<0.001). There was no statistical significant difference in intrahepatic metastasis, lymphatic metastasis and metastasis. Conclusions Suspected pediatric HB, artery and venous phase CT scan would meet the clinical requirement, there was no need for non-contrast pahse. Follow up cases, a single venous phase was enough. Venous phase contributed much more information on tumor size and high risk prognosis evaluation.
