Polycystic ovary syndrome （PCOS）， a common reproductive endocrine disorder in women， is one of the leading causes of ovulatory infertility in women of reproductive age. Due to its heterogeneous etiology， complex symptoms， and challenging treatment， PCOS has become a focal point of research in gynecological and reproductive medicine globally. The pathogenesis of PCOS is complex and may involve regulatory mechanisms such as inflammatory responses， oxidative stress， and cellular autophagy. Crown-like structures （CLSs） refer to pro-inflammatory microenvironments formed by macrophages engulfing adipocytes. The inflammatory disorders induced by CLSs are one of the key factors contributing to the development of PCOS and its complications. Current studies have indicated that the obese status in PCOS accelerates the formation of CLSs， and the density of CLSs can predict the progression of metabolic disorders and influence the outcomes of various metabolic diseases. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） offers the unique advantages of a holistic view， four diagnostic methods， and syndrome differentiation and treatment to ameliorate the symptoms and signs of PCOS through multiple levels， pathways， and targets. Although studies on the mechanisms of metabolic diseases and CLS formation have been reported in China and abroad， there is still a lack of literature on the correlation between CLSs and PCOS， as well as reviews on TCM interventions targeting CLSs for treating this disease. Therefore， this paper summarized the correlation between obese PCOS and CLSs and reviewed recent studies on TCM interventions based on CLS formation （adipose tissue-macrophage inflammatory crosstalk） in the treatment of obese PCOS， aiming to provide new research perspectives for the prevention and treatment of PCOS using TCM.

Objectives:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of simultaneous bilateral adrenal vein sampling(AVS)via the basilic vein approach. Methods:21 consecutive patients with primary aldosteronism(PA)who underwent simultaneous bilateral AVS via the basilic vein in Fuwai Hospital between July 2023 and November 2023 were enrolled in this study.The puncture site,catheter used in AVS,operation time,fluoroscopy time,contrast agent dosages,success rate of bilateral sampling,adverse events,and complications were recorded and analyzed.Successful sampling was determined by a selectivity index(cortisol in the adrenal vein/cortisol in inferior vena cava)greater than or equal to 2. Results:The average age of 21 patients was(49.3±7.7)years,with 13 male patients.The first 5F sheath was successfully inserted into the right basilic vein in all patients,the second 5F sheath insertion failed in two patients and switched to the ipsilateral cephalic vein approach.The 5F MPA1 catheter was inserted into the right adrenal vein and the 5F TIG catheter into the left adrenal vein in all patients.Operation time was 17.50(12.00,22.00)min,fluoroscopy time was 5.90(4.75,10.55)min,and contrast agent dosage was 25.00(25.00,35.00)ml.Bilateral AVS was successful in all patients.Two patients experienced adverse events,one case was catheter entanglement,which resulted in 5F TIG catheter slipped from adrenal vein,and another case was vascular spasm.No complications were recorded. Conclusions:Simultaneous bilateral AVS via basilic vein approach is safe and feasible in most PA patients,further researches with larger patient cohort are needed to validate the results from this study.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between thyroid autoimmunity and pregnancy outcome in patients with unexplained recurrent abortion.Methods:A retrospective cohort study of 354 patients with normal thyroid function with recurrent abortion of unknown cause admitted to Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from January 2015 to June 2022 was used to detect thyroid antibody and thyroid function levels during pregnancy or early pregnancy. They were divided into TAI group ( n=144) and non-TAI group ( n=210) according to whether thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) was complicated or not. Tracking pregnancy outcomes. Results:Compared with the non-TAI group, the TAI group had a higher proportion of pregnancy outcomes resulting in miscarriage [42.4%(61/144) vs 27.1%(57/210), P=0.004]. In patients with unexplained recurrent abortion, TAI significantly increased the risk of spontaneous abortion [ OR(95% CI): 2.13(1.34, 3.41), P=0.001]. Positive TPOAb or TgAb also increased the risk of spontaneous abortion [ OR(95% CI): 2.18(1.37, 3.50), P=0.001; OR(95% CI): 2.33(1.31, 4.13), P=0.004]. TAI, TPOAb and TgAb had no significant interaction with age ( P=0.482, 0.724, 0.740). Conclusions:TAI is positively associated with the risk of spontaneous abortion in patients with unexplained recurrent abortion. TAI may be a potential risk factor for unexplained recurrent abortion, expanding the diagnosis and treatment of unexplained recurrent abortion.

OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy of cetrorelix combined with aspirin in preventing early-onset ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome （OHSS）. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 38 early-onset OHSS patients， who received treatment in our hospital from January 1st to July 1st， 2022. These patients were divided into intervention group （19 cases） and control group （19 cases） according to the therapy regimen. On the first day after oocyte retrieval surgery， the control group was given aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg orally until menstruation began. The intervention group was given cetrorelix for injection 0.25 mg subcutaneously， for consecutive 3 days+aspirin enteric-coated tablets （same usage and dosage as the control group）. The first luteal phase， the degree of OHSS， and the ovarian volume， ascites volume， serum estradiol （E2）， white blood cell count （WBC）， hematocrit （HCT）， neutrophil ratio （NEUT%）， D-dimer （DD）， prothrombin time （PT）， fibrinogen （Fib） after oocyte retrieval surgery were observed and measured in 2 groups. RESULTS The first luteal phase was significantly shorter， and the proportions of median and severe OHSS cases were significantly lower in the intervention group compared to the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. After oocyte retrieval surgery， the intervention group showed significantly lower ovarian volume， ascites volume， serum E2， WBC， NEUT%， HCT， DD and Fib compared to the control group， but PT of intervention group was signiticantly higher than that of control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Cetrorelix combined with aspirin is more effective in preventing early-onset OHSS than aspirin alone.

Objective·To explore the correlation between body compositions and cardiovascular fitness(CRF)in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods·The CHD patients(CHD group)who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention treatment at Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2022 to June 2023 as well as healthy people(control group)were selected.All the participants completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing(CPET)to determine CRF and bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)to determine body compositions on the same day.Results·A total of 191 patients with coronary heart disease and 188 healthy individuals were included.There was no statistically significant difference in baseline characteristics between the two groups.Compared with the control group,the CRF indicators of the CHD group were significantly reduced(all P<0.05).In terms of body composition indicators,the trunk muscle mass(TMM)of the CHD group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.01),and the trunk fat mass(TFM)was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.01).Correlation analysis showed that TMM(R=0.538),lower limbs muscle mass(LMM)(R=0.754),and lower limbs fat mass(LFM)(R=0.593)were positively correlated with peak oxygen uptake per kilogram of bodyweight(VO2peak/kg)in the CHD group(all P<0.01),while TFM(R=-0.563)was negatively correlated with VO2peak/kg(P<0.01).There was no statistically significant correlation between other body composition indicators and VO2peak/kg.According to VO2peak/kg,the CHD patients were divided into low CRF group,medium CRF group,and high CRF group.The results showed that there were statistically significant differences in LMM,TMM,LFM,and TFM among the three groups of patients(all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that age,gender,TMM,TFM,LMM,and LFM were related factors of VO2peak/kg in the patients with CHD.The VO2peak/kg of CHD patients increased with the increase of TMM,LMM,and LFM and the decrease of age and TFM;the female patients had lower VO2peak/kg compared to the males.Conclusion·The CRF of CHD patients is significantly lower than that of the healthy population,with higher TFM and lower TMM;in the CHD patients,CRF is negatively correlated with TFM and positively correlated with TMM,LMM,and LFM.

Objective:To analyze the genetic evolution characteristics of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) of influenza B virus in Tongling during 2019-2022 surveillance years.Methods:Twenty-two strains of Victoria influenza B virus isolated from our laboratory during 2019-2022 were selected for whole genome sequencing. The sequence comparison and phylogenetic analysis were conducted by using bioinformatic analysis software.Results:During 2019-2022, seasonal influenza in Tongling City was predominantly caused by influenza B Victoria lineage viruses, which fell within the V1A.3 branch. Among these, 14 strains isolated in the 2021-2022 season were further classified into the V1A.3a.2 sub-branch. Compared with vaccine strains, multiple amino acid mutation sites were detected in both HA and NA proteins of the 22 influenza B Victoria lineage viruses. Notably, all four major antigenic sites (120-loop, 150-loop, 160-helix, and 190-helix regions) in the HA protein exhibited variations. Although no mutations were detected at resistance sites on the NA protein, a change occurred in the glycosylation site at position 197 NETQ in the HA protein.Conclusions:The main amino acid sites of the HA protein of the influenza B Victoria lineage viruses in Tongling City from 2019 to 2022 have undergone significant variation, which may lead to antigenic drift. Therefore, it is essential to strengthen the monitoring of influenza virus mutations.

Objective To investigate the common symptoms and associated disease characteristics of hyperhomocysteinemia in cere-bral infarction patients and the correlation analysis of influencing factors.Methods A total of 151 participants with blood homocysteine≥15μmol/L and 86 participants with blood homocysteine＜15μmol/L were identified as the hyperhomocysteinemia with cerebral infarction group(H group)and the normal cerebral infarction group(N group),respectively.The symptoms and influence factors in the two groups were compared.Results Among cerebral infarction patients,patients in H group were older(P=0.049),more male(P=0.002),had a history of smoking(P=0.025),diabetes(P=0.008),hyperlipidemia(P=0.034),folate deficiency(P=0.002)and associated cognitive impairment(P=0.009)and language barrier(P=0.043).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age(P=0.023),diabetes(P=0.018),folate deficiency(P=0.026),and cognitive impairment(P=0.019)were independent related factors of in-creased blood homocysteine level.Conclusion Cerebral infarction patients with hyperhomocysteinemia are elderly,and most of them have diabetes,folate deficiency,and cognitive impairment.
