Objective To explore the effects ofCangfu Congxian Decoction on the mRNA expression of IGF-1R in human mural granulosa cells;To explore the action mechanism for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients.Methods Totally 48 patients undergoing IVF-ET were randomly divided into treatment group and control group by random number table, 24 cases in each group. Patients in the control group accepted GnRHa/FSH/hCG stimulation, while the treatment group tookCangfu Congxian Decoction orally on the basic treatment of the control group. Serum E2, LH, and P concentration on HCG injection day, number of ovum, high quality embryo rate and clinical pregnancy rate were evaluated. The mRNA expression of IGF-1R on mural granulosa cells in the mature follicle was detected by real-time PCR.Results Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in serum E2, LH, and P concentration on HCG injection day of treatment group (P>0.05), while the treatment group had higher high quality embryo rate than that of the control group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the number of ovum and pregnancy rate between the two groups (P>0.05). The mRNA expression of IGF-1R on granulosa cells in treatment group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion The mechanism ofCangfu Congxian Decoction for treating PCOS is up-regulating the mRNA expression of IGF-1R in mural granulosa cells and increasing high quality embryo rate.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of herb-partitioned moxibustion at umbilicus in treating primarydysmenorrhea based on metabonomics.MethodTwenty patients with primary dysmenorrhea were randomized into two groups to respectively receive herb-partitioned moxibustion at umbilicus and moxa-stick moxibustion at umbilicus. After treatment for 3 menstrualcycles, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate abdominal pain, and LC-MS-based metabonomics analysis was adopted to detect the change of plasma metabolites.ResultAfter intervention, the VAS scores decreased with the menstrual cycles in both groups. The decrease of VAS score in herb-partitioned moxibustion group was more significant than that in moxa-stick moxibustion group (P<0.05); herb-partitioned moxibustion at umbilicus up-regulated the contents of 20α-dihydroprogesterone, pregnenolone, prostaglandin E2and?-propalanine, and down-regulated the contents of estrone and prostaglandin H2in plasma; moxa-stick moxibustion decreased the content of 5’-pyridoxal phosphate.ConclusionThe two methods both can improve abdominal pain in primary dysmenorrhea, while herb-partitioned moxibustion can produce a more significant efficacy than moxa-stick moxibustion, and its effect is possibly realized via regulating estrone, progesterone, and prostaglandin.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical characteristics of an infant with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and the effects of imatinib on the case.
METHODThe clinical features of an infant with CML, who was treated with imatinib in the Norman Bethune International Peace Hospital at June 2009, were retrospectively analyzed and the reports in literature were reviewed. The 1-year-old boy suffered from recurrent low-degree fever and pallor. He had a moderate anemia, distended abdomen and marked splenomegaly. Bone marrow aspiration revealed CML in chronic phase)CP). The t (9; 22))q34; q11) could be detected and BCR-ABL (p210) was positive. The boy was diagnosed as CML-CP and treated with imatinib 100 mg per day. There were 10 related papers and more than 100 child CML patients were reported as retrieved from CNKI)from its establishment to August 2014) and Wanfang Database)from its establishment to August 2014) when "Child", " Chronic" and "Leukemia" were used as keywords. And there were 30 related papers including 400 cases from PubMed Database (from its establishment to August 2014) and one detailed report of an infant with CML was retrieved when "childhood" and "chronic myeloid leukemia" "imatinib" were used as keywords. The clinical effects of imatinib in infant CML cases were analyzed and summarized based on the literature.
RESULTThe boy obtained a complete hematologic response (CHR) at the 6th week of diagnosis, a complete cytogenetic response (CCyR) at the 3rd month and a complete molecular response)CMR) at the 12th month without side effect. This boy grows very well and after a 62-month follow-up, his disease was stable. According to the domestic literature, 5 children CML cases aged 6 -12 years were treated with imatinib without side effects and got complete hematologic response (CHR) after 2-month-therapy. The dose, metabolic characteristics and clinical observation of imatinib can be found in foreign literature and imatinib showed good response with good tolerance in children with CML. Imatinib is regarded as the first line drug for children CML. But it may affect the development of the children.
CONCLUSIONThe children with CML-CP had a good response to imatinib, but more experience in the treatment of children with CML with iniatinib is needed.

Objective To investigate the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling genes (SOCSs) and JAKs mRNA in the acute myloid leukemia(AML) patients. Methods The expression of SOCSs and JAKs mRNA as well as TYK2 in AML patients and healthy adults as normal contrals (NC) was measured with RT-PCR. Results The expression of SOCS 1,4,5 and 7 in AML patients was lower than those in normal control and AML with remis-sion (P<0.01),but the expression of SOCS 3 and 6 was higher than those in normal control and remission AML(P<0.01),however there was no significant difference in SOC2 between groups. The expressions of JAK2 ,JAK3 and TYK2 in AML were significantly higher than those in patients with remission and normal control(P<0.05). The ex-pression of JAK1 mRNA in relapsed AML was higher than that in normal control group(P<0.05),but the latter has no statistical significance between beginning treatment and normal group(P>0.05). Conclusion The deletion and degradion of SOCS 1,4,5 and 7 present in AML patients and JAKs expression is significantly increased, suggesting that both of them may co-participate in the pathogenesis of AML.

OBJECTIVES:
Several countries have successfully eliminated measles, and China is making significant strides toward achieving this goal. This study focused on investigating the patterns of measles infections in Zhejiang Province, China, as well as control measures. The objective was to provide valuable insights that could contribute to the development of nationwide elimination strategies.
METHODS:
We analyzed measles surveillance data from 2005 to 2022 in Zhejiang Province. We utilized a joinpoint regression model to examine trends in measles. Additionally, we employed SaTScan version 9.5 to identify spatial-temporal clusters. Finally, we used an age-period-cohort model to assess the effects of age, period, and cohort.
RESULTS:
The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of measles infection in Zhejiang Province from 2005 to 2022 was 5.24 per 100,000, showing a consistent and significant downward trend with an annual percentage change of -24.93% (p<0.05). After 2020, the ASIR for measles infection fell to below 0.1 per 100,000. The majority of measles cases occurred in individuals either without an immunization history or with an unknown immunization status, representing 41.06% and 41.40% of the cases from 2010 to 2022, respectively. According to data from the National Measles Surveillance System, the annual rate of discarded measles cases from 2009 to 2014, and the annual rate of discarded measles and rubella cases from 2015 to 2022, were both above 2 per 100,000, indicating the high sensitivity of the measles surveillance system.
CONCLUSIONS
The significant reduction in measles incidence from 2005 to 2022 demonstrates substantial progress in Zhejiang Province towards the elimination of measles.
