BACKGROUND:It is urgent to improve the study on the molecular mechanism of Ban's Culuan Zhuyun Decoction improving oocyte quality in polycystic ovary syndrome.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of Ban's Culuan Zhuyun Decoction on oocyte quality in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome and to explore the underlying mechanisms of its intervention in polycystic ovary syndrome.METHODS:Subcutaneous injection of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate was used to establish the polycystic ovary syndrome model in 21-day-old female Kunming mice,and the treatment was conducted for 21 consecutive days.The estrous cycle and pregnancy was recorded.ELISA was used to detect serum sex hormone levels.The rate of apoptosis in oocytes was detected using Annexin V staining.The level of reactive oxygen species in oocytes was detected using dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate.The condition of spindle bodies and chromosomes in oocytes were detected using the immunofluorescence method.Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to verify the binding properties of Ban's Culuan Zhuyun Decoction core active components and oocyte maturation-related factors(growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15).Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15 in oocytes,respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Ban's Culuan Zhuyun Decoction core active components(quercetin,kaempferol,and β-sitosterol)showed good binding activities with growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15.(2)Ban's Culuan Zhuyun Decoction ameliorated the estrous cycle,regulated serum hormone,increased the pregnancy,decreased the rate of apoptosis,declined the level of reactive oxygen species,diminished the rate of abnormal spindle assembly and chromosome loss(P<0.01,P<0.05);and promoted the mRNA and protein expression of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15(P<0.05).Therefore,Ban's Culuan Zhuyun Decoction may improve the oocyte quality and increase the fertility of polycystic ovary syndrome mice by regulating the gene expression of growth differentiation factor 9 and bone morphogenetic protein 15.

Background:Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a common disease of the digestive system,among which severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)has a high mortality rate.Finding more accurate and convenient methods for early recognition of SAP is one of the major challenges in clinical treatment.Aims:To explore the application value of the controlled attenuation parameter(CAP)of ultrasound elastography in predicting SAP.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 135 AP patients admitted to Jiading Branch of Shanghai General Hospital from February to October 2024.Patients were categorized into non-SAP and SAP groups according to the severity of the disease.Clinical data,local complications,laboratory indicators,and CAP were compared between the two groups.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for SAP.A SAP prediction model based on CAP was constructed according to the identified risk factors and the minimum Akaike information criterion(AIC).ROC curve and Bootstrap method were used to evaluate the efficacy of the prediction model and conduct internal validation,respectively.Results:There were statistically significant differences between the non-SAP group and SAP group in body mass index(BMI),incidence of hyperlipidemia,etiological composition,incidence of pleural and ascitic fluid,length of hospital stay,incidence of peripancreatic effusion,incidence of pancreatic necrosis,white blood cell count(WBC),D-dimer(D-D)level,blood glucose,triglyceride(TG),C-reactive protein(CRP),neutrophil count,procalcitonin(PCT),interleukin-6(IL-6),free triiodothyronine(FT3),and CAP(all P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that pancreatic necrosis(OR=13.39,95%CI:3.10-57.94,P<0.001)and CAP(OR=1.01,95%CI:1.01-1.02,P=0.038)were independent risk factors for SAP.The SAP prediction model based on CAP was formulated as:Logit(P)=-5.884+0.010×CAP+2.839×pancreatic necrosis+0.169×D-D+0.132×blood glucose+0.006×CRP.The model showed an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.834 for predicting SAP,which was superior to CAP alone(P<0.05).Internal validation indicated that the prediction model had high stability and accuracy(C-index=0.808).Conclusions:The prediction model constructed based on CAP has good clinical value for predicting SAP,providing a new perspective and tool for early identification and prognostic assessment of AP.

Objective:To explore the correlation between abnormal vital signs (e.g., heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature) and acute exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as to evaluate the clinical value of continuous monitoring via wearable devices for the early warning and intervention.Methods:A multicenter cross-sectional study enrolled 335 patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from 12 community health centers in Beijing and Chengdu between June 2023 and May 2024. General demographic and clinical data were collected, and each participant underwent continuous monitoring of resting heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature using wearable devices for 21 days. Based on whether participants had experienced acute exacerbations requiring outpatient, emergency, or inpatient treatment within the previous year, they were categorized into the acute exacerbation group and the non-exacerbation group. Differences in physiological parameters between the acute exacerbation group and non-exacerbation group were analyzed, and contributing factors were assessed using logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 335 patients with stable COPD were enrolled, including 252 cases (75.22%) in the acute exacerbation group and 83 cases (24.78%) in the non-acute exacerbation group. There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex distribution, comorbidities, or baseline lung function between the two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with the non-acute exacerbation group, patients in the acute exacerbation group had a faster resting heart rate((76.01 ± 7.78) beats/min vs. (72.72 ± 7.35) beats/min, t=3.126, P=0.002), a higher proportion of patients with decreased oxygen saturation (1.75% (0.97%, 3.03%) vs. 0.86% (0.44%, 1.65%), Z=11.086, P=0.001), and a higher proportion of patients with elevated body temperature (0.60% (0.39%, 1.03%) vs. 0.31% (0.17%, 0.54%), Z=7.314, P=0.007). Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age ( OR=1.051, 95% CI: 1.023-1.080), increased heart rate ( OR=1.055, 95% CI:1.013-1.098), decreased oxygen saturation ( OR=1.197, 95% CI:1.023-1.400), and elevated body temperature ( OR=1.777, 95% CI:1.148-2.752) were positively associated factors for acute exacerbation of COPD. Conclusions:Abnormalities in physiological indicators such as heart rate, oxygen saturation, and body temperature are associated with acute exacerbations in COPD patients. Continuous monitoring using wearable devices may provide a new method for early warning and timely intervention in COPD exacerbations.

Objective To observe resting-state functional connectivity(rs-FC)changes of mirror neuron system(MNS)brain regions in male nicotine addicts,and to explore their correlations with the degree of addiction.Methods Twenty-five male nicotine addicts(addiction group)and 27 healthy males(control group)were prospectively recruited,and resting-statefunctional MR scanning was performed.The general information and rs-FC values were compared between groups,and correlations of rs-FC values with Fagerstr?m test for nicotine dependence(FTND)and heaviness of smoking index(HSI)scale scores in addiction group were analyzed.Results No significant difference of age nor education level was found between groups(both P＞0.05).Compared to control group,rs-FC values between left inferior frontal gyrus(IFG.L)and right middle temporal gyrus(MTG.R)as well as right middle occipital gyrus(MOG.R)increased(GRF corrected,voxel-level P＜0.005,cluster-level P＜0.05),while between right fusiform gyrus(FFG.R)and right dorsal cingulate gyrus(DCG.R),right supplementary motor area(SMA.R),left medial superior frontal gyrus(SFGmed.L)and left supplementary motor area(SMA.L)decreased(GRF corrected,voxel-level P＜0.005,cluster-level P＜0.05).In addiction group,rs-FC value between IFG.L and MTG.R was negatively correlated with HSI scale score(r=-0.457,P=0.022),while that between IFG.L and MOG.R was negatively correlated with HSI scale and FTND scores(r=-0.440,-0.458,P=0.028,0.021).Conclusion There were specific changes of rs-FC patterns of MNS brain regions in male nicotine addicts,which were correlated with the degree of addiction.
