Objective:To analyse the clinical significance of selective single embryo transfer by time-lapse mo-nitoring(TLM)or conventional morphology assessment(CMA)in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection and embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET),and to initially explore the predictive value of Raman spectral analy-sis of embryo culture medium for clinical pregnancy rate.Methods:The study is a prospective randomized con-trolled clinical trial.We assigned 139 patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET in Reproductive and Genetics Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April 2019 to July 2020,which were randomly assigned to either the CMA or the TLM group.We performed selective single-embryo transfer(fresh cycle and FET)after selecting the optimal em-bryos with TLM or CMA respectively.If the patient's first embryo transfer was unsuccessful,a second one would be performed to compare the differences in the cumulative live birth rate of embryo transfer and other pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.Meanwhile,we collected 15 μl of embryo culture medium at day 3 after IVF/ISCI fertilization for Raman spectroscopy analysis.Results:There were no differences in cumulative live birth,cu-mulative clinical pregnancy,cumulative premature birth,cumulative early spontaneous abortion,cumulative ectopic pregnancy and LGA or SGA between TLM and CMA groups(P>0.05).The Neonatal sex ratio in the TLM group was lower than that in the CMA group,but the difference was not significant(P>0.05).Raman spectros-copy analysis of embryo culture medium predicted the clinical pregnancy rate with 67.21%accuracy.Conclu-sions:In young women with a good ovarian reserve,the advantage of using TLM to evaluate embryos is not obvi-ous,so we should remain vigilant that embryo selection based on morphokinetic parameters may affect the sex ratio.Raman spectroscopic analysis of embryo culture medium is not yet able to effectively predict the planting ability of embryos.

Flos Trollii is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb in China. The 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part 1) did not include the medicinal herb, its source is not clear, and there is a lack of relevantly systematic and comprehensive research. By consulting ancient Chinese herbal medicines, medical books and related literature, the textual research of Flos Trollii was conducted to verify the name, origin and producing area, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application and resource development of Flos Trollii. Through textual research, it could be seen that the name “Jinlianhua” was used as the correct name in the mainstream origin of the past dynasties, and there were still multiple synonyms such as Hanjinlian, Jinmeicao and so on, most of which originated from its growth environment and appearance. According to the distribution of varieties, it could be inferred that the mainstream origin of Flos Trollii in the Qing Dynasty and before was Trollius chinensis Bge. According to historical records, Flos Trollii were mostly produced in northern regions such as Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, etc., which was related to the fact that Flos Trollii liked cloudy, humid and cold environments. Based on the textual research results, the author suggested that the mainstream origin of the past dynasties T. chinensis Bge. should be selected for subsequent collection of Flos Trollii.

Obesity is increasingly prevalent globally, searching for therapeutic agents acting on adipose tissue is of great importance. Equisetin (EQST), a meroterpenoid isolated from a marine sponge-derived fungus, has been reported to display antibacterial and antiviral activities. Here, we revealed that EQST displayed anti-obesity effects acting on adipose tissue through inhibiting adipogenesis in vitro and attenuating HFD-induced obesity in mice, doing so without affecting food intake, blood pressure or heart rate. We demonstrated that EQST inhibited the enzyme activity of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), a therapeutic target of obesity in adipose tissue. Anti-obesity properties of EQST were all offset by applying excessive 11β-HSD1's substrates and 11β-HSD1 inhibition through knockdown in vitro or 11β-HSD1 knockout in vivo. In the 11β-HSD1 bypass model constructed by adding excess 11β-HSD1 products, EQST's anti-obesity effects disappeared. Furthermore, EQST directly bond to 11β-HSD1 protein and presented remarkable better intensity on 11β-HSD1 inhibition and better efficacy on anti-obesity than known 11β-HSD1 inhibitor. Therefore, EQST can be developed into anti-obesity candidate compound, and this study may provide more clues for developing higher effective 11β-HSD1 inhibitors.

Objective:To explore the experience of the postoperative adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome from the patients′ angle and to provide references for improving the postoperative comfort of the patients.Methods:The phenomenology research method was adopted in this study. Thirteen postoperative adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome from Department of Otolaryngology, Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology participated in the in-depth interview with the interview outline. Data were analyzed by using Colaizzi′s phenomenological method.Results:Three level-1 themes and ten level-2 themes were extracted. The physical discomfort included throat discomfort, lacking of enough sleep at night, restricted diet, limitation in speaking. The negative emotion included the sense of worry, helplessness, fidget and regret. The wish of support included the wish of coping strategy and being understanded.Conclusions:The main uncomfortable experience of the patients is the throat discomfort which has the chain reaction and causes the other discomfort. So the nurses should inquire patients initiatively, cooperate with doctors and patients′ family members to relieve patients′ discomfort particularly at night, and then the patients′ quality of life, nurse-patient relationship and patients′ satisfaction may be improved.

OBJECTIVE:To study the intervention eff ects and pot ential m echanism of celastrol on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)induced by methionine-choline deficiency (MCD)diet. METHODS :Male C 57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into normal control group ,model group ,celastrol low-dose and high-dose groups [ 0.5,1 mg/(kg·d)],with 7 mice in each group. The normal control group was given a methionine-choline sufficient diet ,while the model group and administration groups were fed an MCD diet to induce NASH model. At the same time ,normal control group and model group were given polyoxyethylene castor oil intragastrically;administration groups were given relevant drugs intragastrically ;the volume of gavage was 0.1 mL/g,once a day , for consecutive 4 weeks. The liver morphology was observed ,and the pathological changes of liver tissue were observed by HE staining and oil red O staining. The levels of serum liver enzymes (AST,ALT),and the levels of lipid indexes (TC,TG)in serum and liver tissue were detected by enzyme method. The protein expression of NF-κB p65,TNF-α and IL-6 in liver tissue were determined by Western blotting assay. RESULTS :Compared with normal control group ,the volume of the liver was reduced and the color was yellow ,and the surface was rough in model group ;inflammatory cell infiltration ,fat vacuoles and lipid droplets aggregation were found in the liver tissue ;the serum levels of TC and TG were significantly decreased ,the levels of serum liver enzymes and protein expression of NF-κB p65,TNF-α and IL-6 in liver tissue were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,the liver surface of each administration group was ruddy and smooth without brown spots ,the inflammatory cells and fat vacuoles in liver tissue were reduced ,and the coverage area of lipid droplets was reduced ;the levels of serum TC and TG were significantly increased ,the levels of serum liver enzymes ,the levels of TG and protein expression of NF-κB,TNF-α and IL-6(except for celastrol low-dose group )in liver tissue were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS : Celastrol can improve the liver injury of NASH model mice induced by MCD diet ,which is related to the reduction of TG accumulation in liver tissue and inhibition of the expression of inflammatory related factors.

Obesity is a worldwide epidemic. Promoting browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) contributes to increased energy expenditure and hence counteracts obesity. Here we show that cordycepin (Cpn), a natural derivative of adenosine, increases energy expenditure, inhibits weight gain, improves metabolic profile and glucose tolerance, decreases WAT mass and adipocyte size, and enhances cold tolerance in normal and high-fat diet-fed mice. Cpn markedly increases the surface temperature around the inguinal WAT and turns the inguinal fat browner. Further investigations show that Cpn induces the development of brown-like adipocytes in inguinal and, to a less degree, epididymal WAT depots. Cpn also increases the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) and other thermogenic genes in WAT and 3T3-L1 differentiated adipocytes, in which AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role. Our results provide novel insights into the function of Cpn in regulating energy balance, and suggest a potential utility of Cpn in the treatment of obesity.
