Objective:To investigate the relationship between the level of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor autoantibody (AT1-AA) in the uterine fluid and the thickness of endometrium in infertile women with chronic endometritis.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to select 122 patients who underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial tissue biopsy at Assisted Reproduction Center, Taiyuan Central Hospital due to infertility from March 2023 to January 2024 as the study subjects. According to the results of hysteroscopy and endometrial tissue biopsy, the patients were divided into 52 cases in the infertility group with normal endometrium (NE infertility group) and the chronic endometritis combined with infertility group (CE infertility group) with 70 cases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of the two groups. General clinical data, AT1-AA absorbance value of uterine fluid and uterine related indexes of the two groups were analyzed, and the correlations between AT1-AA level and the variation of indexes were analyzed.Results:Gravidity (median: 1 vs 1; Z=7.029, P=0.030) and parity (median: 0 vs 0; Z=12.258, P=0.002) in CE infertility group were higher than those in NE infertility group. There was AT1-AA in the uterine fluid, and the level of AT1-AA in CE infertility group was significantly higher than that in NE infertility group (median: 2.07 vs 1.44; Z=3.099, P=0.029). The endometrial thickness of CE infertility group was lower than that of NE infertility group (median: 6.0 vs 7.0 mm; Z=-2.179, P=0.029), and there were no statistical differences in other indexes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Further correlation analysis showed that there were no correlation between the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid and parity, endometrial thickness, gravidity in NE infertility group (all P>0.05). However, the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of CE infertility group was positively correlated with parity (Spearman′s r=0.339, P=0.004), and negatively correlated with endometrial thickness (Spearman′s r=-0.499, P<0.001), but not correlated with gravidity ( P>0.05). Conclusions:AT1-AA is present in the uterine fluid of infertile women. The elevated level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of infertile women with CE is related to the thinning of the endometrium.

OBJECTIVE To standardize the strategies for prevention and control of Chikungunya(CHIK)in healthcare in-stitutions so as to reduce the risk of transmission in the institutions.METHODS A working group comprising the ex-perts in hospital infection control,infectious diseases,and microbiology systematically reviewed domestic and international evidence and current guidelines,integrated China's vector ecology and healthcare realities,conducted two rounds of Delphi to achieve expert consensus,and graded the evidence and recommendation strength using the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine system.RESULTS The consensus issues 18 actionable recommendations on triage,patient mosquito-proof isolation,integrated vector control,protection of susceptible populations,environmental cleaning and disinfection,specimen management,medical textile handling,and outbreak emergency response,with each statement assigned an evi-dence level and recommendation strength.CONCLUSION This consensus is for the first time in China to provide evidence-graded strategies for control of CHIK in healthcare institutions,offering work flow-oriented,implementable guidance for clinicians,laboratorians,and infection-control personnel under different risk scenarios and enhancing the comprehensive coping capacity of the healthcare institutions.

Objective:To explore the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in the genetic diagnosis of different types of fetal growth restriction (FGR).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 cases who were diagnosed with FGR by ultrasound and underwent prenatal diagnosis at the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine, Peking University First Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2021. The cases were divided into three groups based on the gestational age at the first diagnosis:<28 weeks (40 cases), 28-31 +6 weeks (65 cases), and ≥32 weeks (15 cases). They were also categorized into isolated and non-isolated FGR based on the presence of other ultrasound abnormalities (69 and 51 cases in each). Chromosomal karyotype analysis and CMA were conducted on all patients. The prenatal diagnosis results were analyzed, as well as the detection of chromosomal abnormalities in different gestational age groups and types of FGR. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher's exact test. Results:(1) A total of 14 abnormalities were detected by CMA and four cases were detected by chromosomal karyotype analysis. The abnormal detection rate of CMA was higher than that of chromosomal karyotype analysis [11.7% (14/120) vs. 3.3% (4/120), P=0.025]. Among the total 14 cases of chromosomal abnormalities, there were seven pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) and four variants of unknown significance (VUS), as well as two cases of trisomy-18 and one case of Turner syndrome. Among the 14 cases, eight had associated ultrasound abnormalities. Eleven of the 14 cases opted for induced abortion; three continued pregnancy to delivery, with two neonates showing no abnormalities and one exhibiting slightly delayed physical development. Both methods detected three cases of aneuploidy mnumber abnormalities (2.5%, 3/120) For chromosomal abnormalities <10 Mb, the detection rate of CMA was higher than that of chromosomal karyotype analysis [9.2% (11/120) vs. 0.8% (1/120), Fisher's exact, P=0.005]. Both methods detected one case of <10 Mb CNV, while CMA alone detected ten cases of <10 Mb microdeletions/microduplications (8.3%, 10/120), including six cases of pathogenic CNVs and four cases of VUS. (2) Among the 40 cases in the <28 weeks group, six cases (15.0%) of chromosomal abnormalities were detected, including three cases of aneuploidy, two cases of pathogenic CNVs, and one case of VUS. Among the 65 cases in the 28-31 +6 weeks group, seven cases (10.8%) of chromosomal abnormalities were detected, including five cases of pathogenic CNVs and two cases of VUS. Of the 15 cases in the ≥32 weeks group, one case of chromosomal abnormality was detected, which was VUS. (3) No statistically significant difference was found in the detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities between the isolated FGR and the non-isolated FGR groups [8.7%(6/69) vs. 15.7%(8/51), Fisher's exact, P=0.263]. (4) After excluding the ≥32 weeks non-isolated FGR group (only one case), the <28 weeks non-isolated FGR group had the highest detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities (1/18), while no abnormalities were detected in the ≥32 weeks isolated FGR group. Conclusions:Among FGR fetuses, the highest detection rates of chromosomal abnormalities are found in early-onset and non-isolated FGR. Prenatal diagnosis with CMA testing can significantly improve the detection rate of genetic causes in various types of FGR fetuses.

BACKGROUND: Despite some studies identifying a potential association between obesity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk, previous research had overlooked the dynamic nature of body weight over time, leading to inconsistent findings. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the relationship between adult weight change and COPD risk by adjusting for potential confounding factors. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis using data from ten NHANES cycles (1999-2018), including adults aged 40-74 years. Weight change patterns were assessed using BMI at three time points and classified into five categories per period. Absolute weight change was also grouped into five levels. Multivariate logistic regression models, incorporating sampling weights, were used to examine associations between weight change and COPD, adjusting for demographic and lifestyle covariates. RESULTS: Compared with participants who maintained normal weight, stable obesity participants had increased risk of COPD from age 25 years to 10 years before the survey (OR = 1.45, 95% CI = 1.15 to 1.83), in the 10 years period before the survey (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.47 to 2.08), and from age 25 years to survey (OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.46 to 2.31). Three periods indicate that weight gain in adulthood was associated with risk of COPD. In addition, substantial weight gain of more than 20 kg was associated with a higher risk of COPD. In stratified analyses, we also observed a more significant association between weight change and the risk of COPD in never smokers compared to former smokers. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that stable obesity and weight gain in adulthood were associated with an increased risk of COPD compared to those who maintain a normal weight, and that the association between weight gain and the incidence of COPD appears closer in patients who have never smoked.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of electroacupuncture on depressive model mice based on the phosphatase and tensin homolog-induced kinase 1(PINK1)/Parkin pathway.Methods Specific pathogen-free grade male C57BL/6J mice were used.For experiment 1,60 mice were randomly divided into blank,model,sham electroacupuncture,and electroacupuncture groups using the random number table method,with 15 rats per group.For experiment 2,30 mice were randomly divided into normal,cyclosporine A(CsA),and electroacupuncture+CsA groups using the same method,with 10 rats per group.The chronic restraint stress(CRS)was used to establish a depression model.After successful modeling,CRS was continued to maintain model stability.After modeling,1 h before daily CRS stimulation,the electroacupuncture and electroacupuncture+CsA groups received electroacupuncture interventions at the"Baihui"(GV20)and"Zusanli"(ST36)acupoints,using continuous wave stimulation at a frequency of 2 Hz and an intensity of 1 mA for 20 min,once daily for 7 consecutive days.Mice in the sham electroacupuncture group received superficial needling at non-meridian,non-acupoint locations under the axilla 1 h before CRS,with the electroacupuncture device connected but not powered on once a day for 7 consecutive days.Mice in the CsA and electroacupuncture+CsA groups received an intraperitoneal injection of CsA solution(0.2 mg/g)30 min before electroacupuncture intervention,once daily for 7 consecutive days.In experiment 1,depressive-like behavior was assessed using the open field,tail suspension,and sucrose preference tests.The spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents(sEPSC)and spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents(sIPSC)parameters of hippocampal neurons were evaluated using brain slice patch clamp techniques.Western blotting was conducted to measure the expression levels of mitochondrial autophagy-related proteins PINK 1,phosphorylated PINK1(p-PINK1),Parkin,microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ(LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ),ubiquitin-binding protein(p62),and mitochondrial markers,including translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20(TOMM20),heat shock protein 60(HSP 60),and cytochrome c oxidase Ⅳ(COX Ⅳ).Immunofluorescence was used to detect PINK1 protein expression in the CA3 region of the hippocampus.Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the ultrastructure of mitochondria in hippocampal neurons.On the basis of experiment 1,experiment 2 evaluated depressive-like behavior in mice using sucrose preference,open field,and tail suspension tests;Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of PINK1,p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,p62,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COX Ⅳ proteins of hippocampus in mice.The mitochondrial ultrastructure was observed in hippocampal neurons using transmission electron microscopy.Results In experiment 1,compared with the blank group,the model and sham electroacupuncture groups exhibited a decrease in sucrose consumption rate,a decrease in the time spent in the center area,a reduced proportion of distance moved in the center area,and an increase in immobility time of tail suspension(P＜0.05).The sEPSC and sIPSC in hippocampal neurons decreased in both amplitude and frequency(P＜0.05).p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COXⅣ expression levels in the hippocampus were reduced,whereas the p62 expression level was increased(P＜0.05).The average fluorescence intensity of PINK1 in the CA3 region of the hippocampus decreased(P＜0.05).The number of healthy mitochondria in hippocampal neurons was reduced,with numerous damaged mitochondrial structures observed.Compared to the model and sham electroacupuncture groups,the electroacupuncture group showed an increased in the time spent in the center area,a higher proportion of distance moved in the center area,and an elevated sucrose consumption rate.In contrast,the immobility time in the tail suspension test decreased(P＜0.05),whereas the amplitude and frequency of sEPSC and sIPSC in hippocampal neurons increased(P＜0.05).p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COXⅣ expression levels in the hippocampus increased,whereas the p62 expression level decreased(P＜0.05).The average fluorescence intensity of PINK1 in the CA3 region of the hippocampus increased(P＜0.05).Additionally,mitochondrial damage in hippocampal neurons was alleviated,and a notable presence of autophagosomes mitophagy lysosomes was observed.In experiment 2,compared with the normal group,the mice in the CsA and electroacupuncture+CsA groups showed a decrease in the time spent in the center area and the proportion of distance moved in the center area,a decrease in sucrose consumption rate,and an increase in the immobility time in the tail suspension test(P＜0.05).p-PINK1,Parkin,LC3-Ⅱ/Ⅰ,TOMM20,HSP 60,and COX Ⅳ expression levels in the hippocampus decreased,whereas p62 expression increased(P＜0.05).Many damaged mitochondria were observed in hippocampal neurons.Conclusion Electroacupuncture may exert its antidepressant effects by promoting PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria,thereby restoring the function of hippocampal neurons in depressive model mice.
