Adipose tissue is a critical energy reservoir in animals and humans, with multifaceted roles in endocrine regulation, immune response, and providing mechanical protection. Based on anatomical location and functional characteristics, adipose tissue can be categorized into distinct types, including white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), beige adipose tissue, and pink adipose tissue. Traditionally, adipose tissue research has centered on its morphological and functional properties as a whole. However, with the advent of single-cell transcriptomics, a new level of complexity in adipose tissue has been unveiled, showing that even under identical conditions, cells of the same type may exhibit significant variation in morphology, structure, function, and gene expression——phenomena collectively referred to as cellular heterogeneity. Single-cell transcriptomics, including techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), enables in-depth analysis of the diversity and heterogeneity of adipocytes at the single-cell level. This high-resolution approach has not only deepened our understanding of adipocyte functionality but also facilitated the discovery of previously unidentified cell types and gene expression patterns that may play key roles in adipose tissue function. This review delves into the latest advances in the application of single-cell transcriptomics in elucidating the heterogeneity and diversity within adipose tissue, highlighting how these findings have redefined the understanding of cell subpopulations within different adipose depots. Moreover, the review explores how single-cell transcriptomic technologies have enabled the study of cellular communication pathways and differentiation trajectories among adipose cell subgroups. By mapping these interactions and differentiation processes, researchers gain insights into how distinct cellular subpopulations coordinate within adipose tissues, which is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis and function. Understanding these mechanisms is essential, as dysregulation in adipose cell interactions and differentiation underlies a range of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. Furthermore, single-cell transcriptomics holds promising implications for identifying therapeutic targets; by pinpointing specific cell types and gene pathways involved in adipose tissue dysfunction, these technologies pave the way for developing targeted interventions aimed at modulating specific adipose subpopulations. In summary, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of single-cell transcriptomic technologies in uncovering the heterogeneity and functional diversity of adipose tissues.

Ovarian immature teratoma is a relatively rare malignant ovarian tumor that predominantly occurs in children, adolescents, and young adults. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, tumor marker detection and imaging examinations serve as crucial bases for differentiating mature and immature terotomas. A comprehensive preoperative evaluation followed by the selection of an appropriate surgical approach and extent is key to improving prognosis. Some studies have indicated that for stage Ⅰ ovarian immature teratoma, avoiding adjuvant chemotherapy under close follow-up does not increase the risk of recurrence or affect long-term survival of patients; however, for advanced-stage ovarian immature teratoma, standardized postoperative chemotherapy is still recommended. Some patients may experience benign-malignant transformation of malignant germ cell components after surgery, such as growing teratoma syndrome or squamous cell carcinoma transformation. Due to the rarity of ovarian immature teratoma, current understanding of its pathogenesis and clinical management remains limited. This paper provides a review focusing on key clinical issues related to ovarian immature teratoma and proposes corresponding diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations, aiming to offer references for promoting multidisciplinary collaboration and individualized treatment.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and clinical phenotype of the concomitant extragenital malformations in the patients with female reproductive tract anomalies.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted using clinical data of hospitalized patients diagnosed with uterine, cervical, or vaginal malformations from January 2003 to December 2022 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The malformations were classified according to American Society for Reproductive Medicine müllerian anomalies classification 2021, and in each type, the incidence and specific manifestations of concomitant extragnital malformations were analyzed.Results:A total of 444 patients were included. The overall incidence of concomitant extragenital malformations was 43.5% (193/444), including urinary system, skeletal system, and other system malformations. Renal malformations on the obstructed side were present in all patients with oblique vaginal septum syndrome (100.0%, 78/78). The total incidence of concomitant extragnital malformations was as high as 8/11 in uterus didelphys, 43.5% (10/23) in unicornuate uterus, 33.6% (79/235) in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, 18.8% (6/32) in septate uterus and 18.5% (12/65) in cervical agenesis. Urinary system malformations (30.6%, 136/444) and skeletal system malformations (13.5%, 60/444) were the most common concomitant malformations in all types, in which, unilateral renal agenesis and scoliosis were the most common.Conclusions:Urinary and skeletal system malformations are important features of female reproductive tract anomalies. Urologic ultrasonography and spinal roentgenogram are recommended for all patients with female reproductive tract anomalies.

Objective To explore the effect of personality characteristics on the facial esthetic satisfaction of edentulous patients,in order to provide reference for improving esthetic satisfaction after complete denture restoration.Methods Twenty-two edentulous sub-jects were randomly selected.Before complete denture treatment,the emotional stability of patients was assessed by Eysenck personality questionnaire N scale score(EPQ-N).Before and three months after treatment,patients completed the orofacial esthetic questionnaire,and 3D stereophotogrammetry was performed to evaluate the changes in facial appearance.In addition,multiple linear regression model was established by using N scale score,changes in facial appearance and facial esthetic satisfaction score.Results After complete denture treatment,the difference in the ratio of the middle and lower parts of the face between patients and the normal group was re-duced by(3.85±2.63)%,and the difference of the nasolabial angle between patients and the normal group was reduced by(6.66°±5.39°).The multiple linear regression model showed that N scale score and changes of the differencein the facial proportion between edentulous subjects and normal population were influencing factors of patients'esthetic satisfaction on the facial appearance,and the N scale score and changes of the difference inthe nasolabial anglebetween patients and normal population were influencing factors of the patients'aesthetic satisfaction on the facial profile.Moreover,the effect of two independent variables(N scale score and facial soft tissue change)on the aesthetic satisfaction of facial appearance and facial profile was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Furthermore,when the N score increased,the patients'aesthetic satisfaction on the facial appearance and facial profile decreased(B＜0).Conclusion Personality can affect the aesthetic satisfaction of edentulous patients.Consequently,we should take reasonable measures for patients with different personality in the process of complete denture restoration,so as to achieve the goal of improving patients'aesthetic satisfaction.

Objective To explore the effect of Mongolian medicine Naru-3 pills on the treatment of neuropathic pain(NP)with pregabalin combined with nerve block.Methods Forty-one hospitalized pa-tients in the department of pain medicine diagnosed with NP from October 2022 to September 2023 were se-lected,including 20 males and 21 females,aged 40-80 years,BMI≥18.5 kg/m2.The patients were di-vided into two groups by random number table method:Mongolian medicine Naru-3 pills group(observation group,n=20)and conventional treatment group(control group,n=21).The control group received conventional treatment:oral pregabalin capsule combined with ultrasound-guided nerve block in pain area.The observation group was added oral administration of Mongolian medicine Naru-3 pills(2 g/10 capsules)on the basis of conventional treatment,taking 3-5 capsules orally before going to bed every night for 2 weeks.The numerical rating scale(NRS)pain score,short-form McGill pain questionnaire(SF-MPQ)score,and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)were recorded before treatment and 2 weeks,1 month,and 2 months after the treatment.The serum concentrations of IL-6,IL-8,IL-1β,and TNF-α were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)1 day before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment.Occur-rence of adverse reactions during treatment such as nausea,vomiting,bloating,palpitations,drowsiness,and dizziness were recorded.Results Compared with 1 day before treatment,NRS pain score,SF-MPQ score,and PSQI were lower in both groups 2 weeks,1 month,and 2 months after the treatment(P＜0.05),the serum concentrations of IL-6,IL-1β,and TNF-α were reduced in both groups 2 weeks after the treatment(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,NRS pain score,SF-MPQ score,and PSQI were lower in the observation group 2 weeks,1 month,and 2 months after the treatment(P＜0.05);the serum concentrations of IL-6,IL-1 β,and TNF-α were reduced in the observation group 2 weeks after the treatment(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion Mongolian Naru-3 pills combined with conventional therapy can effectively reduce the pain of NP patients,improve the quality of sleep of patients,and may have the effect of regulating neuroinflammation.

ObjectiveThis study observes the intervention effect of Longmu Piyan prescription on oxidative stress in BALB/c mice with atopic dermatitis （AD） induced by 2，4-dinitrochlorobenzene （DNCB） and explores its mechanism. MethodThe AD model was established using the method of DNCB sensitization on the back skin of BALB/c mice. Forty male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a blank group， a model group， a vitamin C control group （0.5×10^-3 mg·kg^-1）， and a Longmu Piyan prescription group （26 g·kg^-1）. Except for the blank group， other groups were sensitized with different concentrations of DNCB on the back to induce AD， and the blank group was treated with matrix coating. The gastric administration was started on the seventh day after sensitization with 2% DNCB and on the 24th day after sensitization with 0.2% DNCB continuously for 21 days. The changes in skin lesions of each group were directly observed after the experiment. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the levels of interleukin （IL）-4， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α， immunoglobulin E （IgE）， and reactive oxygen species （ROS） in the serum of each group. The total antioxidant capacity determination kit-trace method (ABTS method) was used to measure the level of total antioxidant capacity （TAOC） in serum. The Hematoxylin eosin （HE） staining method was used to observe the pathological and morphological changes of the skin lesion site. The immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin （TSLP） in the skin lesion site. Western blot was used to detect the expression of filaggrin （FLG） in the dorsal skin lesions. ResultThe results showed that compared with the blank group， the skin lesion score of the model group mice was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and HE staining showed characteristic pathological changes of AD in the skin lesion site. At the same time， the expression of TSLP in the skin lesion was significantly increased， and that of FLG was reduced （P<0.05）. The levels of TNF-α， IL-4， IgE， and ROS in serum increased， while the activity of TAOC decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Longmu Piyan prescription group showed a significant decrease in skin lesion scores and a significant improvement in skin lesion pathology. At the same time， the expression of TSLP decreased， and the expression of FLG increased in the skin lesions （P<0.05）. In addition， compared with the model group， the serum levels of TNF-α， IL-4， IgE， and ROS also decreased to varying degrees （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and TAOC activity increased in the Longmu Piyan prescription group （P<0.01）. ConclusionThere is a significant correlation among the degree of oxidative stress， the severity of skin lesions in AD， and the levels of inflammatory cytokines. Longmu Piyandu prescription can improve AD-like skin lesions in BALB/c mice by promoting ROS clearance， enhancing TAOC， and inhibiting oxidative stress， thus protecting the skin barrier and reducing inflammation.
