Objective: We observed the influence of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) on protein metabolism in hepatocirrhotic rats and investigated mechanisms. Methods: Ninety rats were randomized into three groups(n=30 for each group): group A(normal rats), B(cirrhotic rats) and C(cirrhotic rats receiving rhGH). Rats in group C were subcutaneously given rhGH with a dosage of 1 U/(kg?d) for up to 1 week. The plasma concentrations of albumin(ALB), prealbumin(PA), transferrin(TF) and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) were detected on experimental day 14. And liver biopsy was taken to examine the expression level of albumin mRNA with TR-PCR. Results: The albumin, prealbumin, transferrin and IGF-1 levels in groups A and C were significantly higher than those in group B. The expression level of albumin mRNA in grup C was significantly higher than that in group B. Conclusions: The rhGH can improve the level of IGF-1 in plasma and improve the expression of albumin mRNA. Moreover, it may significantly improve the synthesis of protein and attenuate hypoproteinemia in cirrhotic rats.

Objective:To investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinical pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Methods:A total of 650 patients with PCOS who received routine in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment for frozen-thawed embryo transfer from June 2014 to June 2019 in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics were retrospectively analyzed. According to BMI, PCOS patients were divided into group A (18.5≤BMI<23 kg/m 2, n=253), group B (23≤BMI<25 kg/m 2, n=167), and group C (BMI≥25 kg/m 2, n=230). The general information, clinical pregnancy outcomes, pregnancy complications, the incidence of macrosomia and low-birth-weight infants were compared in the three groups, and the influencing factors of neonatal birth weight were analyzed. Results:The embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate all showed downward trend with the increase of BMI, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The live birth rate in group C [47.0% (108/230)] was significantly lower than those in groups A and B, with statistical significance ( χ2 =7.43, P=0.024). The late miscarriage rate was higher in group C [9.4% (13/139)] than in groups A and B ( χ2 =7.66, P=0.022). The birth rates of macrosomia in groups B [22.2% (16/72)] and group C [21.1% (16/76)] were significantly higher than that in group A, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 =14.15, P=0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of gestational diabetes between the three groups ( χ2 =3.81, P=0.149). The incidence of hypertension disorders complicating pregnancy increased with the increase of BMI, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Regression analysis showed that macrosomia was significantly associated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weeks, and the risk of macrosomia increased by 15% (95% CI: 3%-28%) for every increase in maternal BMI. Conclusions:The embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate of PCOS patients in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles show downward trend with the increase of BMI. Obese patients with PCOS have a significant increase in late miscarriage rate and a significant decrease in live birth rate. The incidence of hypertension disorders complicating pregnancy in PCOS patients in the obese group has an increasing trend, and the birth rate of macrosomia has increased significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that obese women with PCOS lose weight scientifically before pregnancy to improve pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.

Objective:
To apply eye-tracking technology to measure the fixation duration of children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) towards emotional faces, so as to provide potential objective indicators for the diagnosis and intervention of ASD.
Methods:
Case-control studies related to emotional faces in ASD children and adolescents aged 3-18 years were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang, with a search period spanning from the inception of the databases to April 1, 2024. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was employed to assess the quality of the retrieved articles, and a Meta analysis was conducted by Stata 17.0 software.
Results:
A total of 18 articles were included, encompassing 361 participants in the ASD group and 413 in the control group. All studies scored ≥6 on the NOS, indicating high research quality. Compared to the control group, the ASD group demonstrated significantly shorter fixation duration ( P <0.01) towards specific emotional faces, including happy faces under the paradigm of self-made and same ethnicity emotional faces ( SMD =-1.05, -1.16), neutral faces in domestic literature ( SMD = -1.00), angry and sad faces under clinical diagnosis criteria ( SMD =-1.73, -1.29), and fearful faces under Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disorders, Version 3 (CCMD-Ⅲ) ( SMD =-1.51).
Conclusion
Children and adolescents with ASD exhibit abnormal eye tracking indicators towards certain emotional faces, which may serve as early warning indicators for the diagnosis of ASD.

With the vigorous development of the nuclear industry, the perfection and professionalization of China’s nuclear emergency response system are becoming increasingly crucial. The national nuclear emergency response system is divided into three levels: the national level, the level of provinces (autonomous regions or centrally administered municipalities) with nuclear installations, and the level of operators of nuclear installations. Nuclear emergency response organizations in prefecture-level cities play an indispensable role within the provincial nuclear emergency response organizations and are the vanguard force responsible for off-site nuclear emergency response, with advantages such as familiarity with the off-site environment and rapid response initiation. As the number of nuclear power units increases, especially with a single prefecture-level city hosting multiple nuclear bases, the existing nuclear emergency response capabilities and systems in prefecture-level cities urgently need to be updated and strengthened. Through in-depth research on the nuclear emergency response organization systems, professional team capabilities, and emergency response resource allocation of a typical prefecture-level city and its county-level cities, issues such as incomplete organizational systems, unclear interface relationships, unprofessional talent teams, and imperfect resource allocation have been identified, which affect the effectiveness of emergency response. To address these challenges, a systematic enhancement of nuclear emergency response capabilities in prefecture-level cities was proposed from four aspects: institutional system, core capabilities, team mechanisms, and resource allocation. The perfection of the institutional system is the foundation, the strengthening of core capabilities is the key, and the soundness of team mechanisms is the safeguard. Prefecture-level cities should promote the systematization, specialization, and standardization of nuclear emergency response capability construction with a task-oriented, coordinated, and compatible philosophy and principles, thereby solidifying the cornerstone of China’s nuclear safety.

Background:
The impact of para-aortic lymphadenectomy (PALD) on prognosis and quality of life (QoL) for IB2-IIA2 cervical cancer patients remain controversial. And whether intraoperative frozen pathology exam on common iliac lymph nodes could help predict para-aortic lymph node (PALN) metastasis was unanswered with high-level evidence.
Methods
A multi-center, randomized controlled study is intended to investigate the effect of PALD on the prognosis and QoL in cervical cancer patients and to assess the value of intraoperative frozen pathological evaluation of common iliac nodes metastasis for the prediction of PALN metastasis. After choosing whether to receive intraoperative frozen pathological examination of bilateral common iliac lymph nodes, eligible patients will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive PALD or not. The primary end point is 2-year progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary end points include 5-year PFS, 2-year overall survival (OS), 5-year OS, adverse events (AEs) caused by PALD, AEs caused by radiotherapy and QoL. A total of 728 patients will be enrolled from 8 hospitals in China within 3-year period and followed up for 5 years.
