Objective:To systematically evaluate the current status and methodological quality of guideline and consensus in ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF), and to provide reference for the development of future guidelines and research. Methods:A systematic search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, Sinomed and relevant guideline websites from inceptions to October 2024. Data were extracted from the literature that met the inclusion criteria, and methodological quality was assessed using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ) tool. Descriptive analysis was performed with results presented in visual data charts.Results:A total of 23 studies were included, with 8 guidelines and 15 consensus. Totally 21 (91.3%) studies focused on the selection of ovarian stimulation protocols, with the majority concentrating on protocols for patients undergoing IVF treatment for the first cycle, and 12 (52.2%) studies focused on the selection of gonadotropin starting dosage. In terms of methodology, the average standardized scores in the 6 assessment domains of the AGREE Ⅱ tool were as follows: scope and purpose (85.1%), stakeholder involvement (66.6%), rigour of development (36.5%), clarity of presentation (70.1%), applicability (36.4%), and editorial independence (46.2%).Conclusion:Current recommendations in ovarian stimulation for IVF exhibit inconsistencies, and the methodological quality varies, which partially hinders the translation of evidence into clinical practice. Future research should further focus on the selection of ovarian stimulation protocols and gonadotropin starting dosage, promoting the update and refinement of guidelines and consensus to guide the precise treatment of ovarian stimulation.

Objective To explore the regulatory effect and mechanism of disidin domain receptor 1(DDR1)on the proliferation and apoptosis of glioma cells.Methods The expression levels of DDR1 in human glioma cells and normal glial cells were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot.Glioma cells U251 with stable overexpression and knockdown of DDR1 were constructed by lentivirus infection,the proliferation ability of the stable cell line was detected by CCK-8 assay,and the apoptosis ability was detected by flow cytometry.Western blot was used to detect the activation of related pathways in stable cell lines and explore the regulatory mechanism of DDR1.Results The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot showed that the expression level of DDR1 in human glioma cell U251 was higher than those in human glioma cell U87 and normal glial cell HEB.Therefore,the U251 cell line was selected for subsequent experiments.CCK-8 assay showed that overexpression of DDR1 promote the proliferation of glioma cells,while knockdown of DDR1 inhibit the proliferation of glioma cells.The results of flow cytometry showed that overexpression of DDR1 inhibit the apoptosis of glioma cells,while knockdown of DDR1 induce the apoptosis of glioma cells.Western blot results showed that overexpression of DDR1 activate the PI3K/AKT pathway,while knockdown of DDR1 inhibit the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway.Conclusion DDR1 can enhance the proliferation ability of glioma cells and inhibit their apoptosis by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway,promoting the development of glioma cells.Therefore,DDR1 may become a potential target for the treatment of glioma.

This study aimed to explore the therapeutic mechanisms of Colquhounia Root Tablets(CRT) in treating diabetic kidney disease(DKD) by integrating biomolecular network mining with animal model verification. By analyzing clinical transcriptomics data, an interaction network was constructed between candidate targets of CRT and DKD-related genes. Based on the topological eigenvalues of network nodes, 101 core network targets of CRT against DKD were identified. These targets were found to be closely related to multiple pathways associated with type 2 diabetes, immune response, and metabolic reprogramming. Given that immune-inflammatory imbalance driven by metabolic reprogramming is one of the key pathogenic mechanisms of DKD, and that many core network targets of CRT are involved in this pathological process, receptor for advanced glycation end products(RAGE)-reactive oxygen species(ROS)-phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(AKT)-nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)-NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3) signaling axis was selected as a candidate target for in-depth research. Further, a rat model of DKD induced by a high-sugar, high-fat diet and streptozotocin was established to evaluate the pharmacological effects of CRT and verify the expression of related targets. The experimental results showed that CRT could effectively correct metabolic disturbances in DKD, restore immune-inflammatory balance, and improve renal function and its pathological changes by inhibiting the activation of the RAGE-ROS-PI3K-AKT-NF-κB-NLRP3 signaling axis. In conclusion, this study reveals that CRT alleviates the progression of DKD through dual regulation of metabolic reprogramming and immune-inflammatory responses, providing strong experimental evidence for its clinical application in DKD.

Objective: To assess the impact of long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) blood screening outcomes in post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) failure cases through a longitudinal analysis of blood screening results over a 7-year period in a patient with HIV PEP failure. Methods: This study conducted 13 follow-up assessments for a high-risk individual who initiated ART shortly after exposure. The effectiveness of various blood screening methods, including immunological assays and nucleic acid testing (NAT), was analyzed. Blood samples were also tested with HIV RNA quantification testing, Western blot (WB) confirmation testing, chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA), and HIV rapid tests utilizing gold and selenium labels. A comprehensive analysis was performed to evaluate the changes in diagnostic capabilities of different testing methods for HIV biomarkers over an extended period following PEP failure. Results: The patient had two high-risk exposures: one day before ART initiation (BA1) and seven days preceding treatment (BA7). On the first day after the ART treatment (AA1), the HIV RNA concentration (viral load) was 9.07×10 copies/mL; by day five (AA5), the viral load decreased to 1.04×10 copies/mL. At day eleven (AA11), NAT and ELISA tests were both positive, with the WB result remaining indeterminate (gp160+). At day 48 (AA48), the S/CO value of the fourth generation ELISA reagent was 1.07, while results from a 6-sample pool and quantitative NAT were negative. However, a single sample NAT returned a positive result and WB tests indicated positivity for p17, p24, and gp160. At AA74, the quantitative NAT rebounded to 2.83×10 copies/mL, with positive NAT results for single and 6-sample pool NAT tests. The S/CO values of the imported and domestic ELISA reagents were 3.39 and 23.44, respectively. At AA201, 6-sample pool and quantitative NAT were negative again, while single sample NAT remained positive. From AA319 to AA2221, all NAT results have remained consistently below the minimum detection limit. At AA2221, S/CO values of the imported and domestic ELISA reagents were 3.47 and 23.44, respectively. Conclusion: The findings indicate that patients experiencing PEP failure after high-risk HIV exposure are at a higher risk of being missed by mixed-sample NAT pools and individual serological tests. Nonetheless, anti-HIV antibody levels are sustained at elevated values for an extended duration, underscoring antibody testing as an effective measure for blood screening.

Objective： The aim of this study is to explore the predictive value of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging(bpMRI)for pelvic lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer patients with PSA≤20 μg/L and establish a nomogram. Methods： The imaging data and clinical data of 363 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2018 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to screen independent risk factors for pelvic lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer, and a nomogram of the clinical prediction model was established. Calibration curves were drawn to evaluate the accuracy of the model. Results： Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed extrocapusular extension (OR=8.08,95%CI=2.62－24.97, P<0.01), enlargement of pelvic lymph nodes (OR=4.45,95%CI=1.16－17.11,P=0.030), and biopsy ISUP grade(OR=1.97,95%CI=1.12－3.46, P=0.018)were independent risk factors for pelvic lymph node metastasis. The C-index of the prediction model was 0.834, which indicated that the model had a good prediction ability. The actual value of the model calibration curve and the prediction probability of the model fitted well, indicating that the model had a good accuracy. Further analysis of DCA curve showed that the model had good clinical application value when the risk threshold ranged from 0.05 to 0.70.Conclusion： For prostate cancer patients with PSA≤20 μg/L, bpMRI has a good predictive value for the pelvic lymph node metastasis of prostate cancer with extrocapusular extension, enlargement of pelvic lymph nodes and ISUP grade≥4.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of rutaecarpine (RUT) on monosodium urate crystal (MSU)-induced murine peritonitis in mice and further explored the underlying mechanism of RUT in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/MSU-induced gout model in vitro. METHODS: In MSU-induced mice, 36 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups of 8 mice each group, including the control group, model group, RUT low-, medium-, and high-doses groups, and prednisone acetate group. The mice in each group were orally administered the corresponding drugs or vehicle once a day for 7 consecutive days. The gout inflammation model was established by intraperitoneal injection of MSU to evaluate the anti-gout inflammatory effects of RUT. Then the proinflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and the proportions of infiltrating neutrophils cytokines were detected by flow cytometry. In LPS/MSU-treated or untreated THP-1 macrophages, cell viability was observed by cell counting kit 8 and proinflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA. The percentage of pyroptotic cells were detected by flow cytometry. Respectively, the mRNA and protein levels were measured by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) p65 was observed by laser confocal imaging. Additionally, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and molecular docking were applied to validate the binding ability of RUT components to tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) targets. RESULTS: RUT reduced the levels of infiltrating neutrophils and monocytes and decreased the levels of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interleukin 6 (IL-6, all P<0.01). In vitro, RUT reduced the production of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α. In addition, RT-PCR revealed the inhibitory effects of RUT on the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, cyclooxygenase-2 and TNF-α (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Mechanistically, RUT markedly reduced protein expressions of tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR), phospho-mitogen-activated protein kinase (p-MAPK), phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase, phospho-c-Jun N-terminal kinase, phospho-NF-κB, phospho-kinase α/β, NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRPS), cleaved-cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 and cleaved-gasdermin D in macrophages (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Molecularly, SPR revealed that RUT bound to TNF-α with a calculated equilibrium dissociation constant of 31.7 µmol/L. Molecular docking further confirmed that RUT could interact directly with the TNF-α protein via hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interactions, and carbon-hydrogen bonding. CONCLUSION RUT alleviated MSU-induced peritonitis and inhibited the TNFR1-MAPK/NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway to attenuate gouty inflammation induced by LPS/MSU in THP-1 macrophages, suggesting that RUT could be a potential therapeutic candidate for gout.
