Infertility females receiving ovulation induction therapies is one of the important reasons of ovarian torsion. As the lack of specific diagnoses and the non-specific clinical manifestations, ovarian torsion is prone to delay in diagnosis and treatment which leading to ovariectomy. Ovarian function is particularly important for fertile women. Doctors should pay attention to ovarian torsion when clinically suspected for the patients after ovulation induction treatments, and make diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid ovariectomy. This paper mainly reviewed the etiology and clinical preventive measures of ovariectomy in female infertility after ovulation induction treatments, in order to contribute to clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy is a novel cellular immunotherapy that is widely used to treat hematological malignancies, including acute leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Despite its remarkable clinical effects, this therapy has side effects that cannot be underestimated. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is one of the most clinically important and potentially life-threatening toxicities. This syndrome is a systemic immune storm that involves the mass cytokines releasing by activated immune cells. This phenomenon causes multisystem damages and sometimes even death. In this study, we reported the management of a patient with recurrent and refractory multiple myeloma and three patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia who suffered CRS during CAR-T treatment. The early application of tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, according to toxicity grading and clinical manifestation is recommended especially for patients who suffer continuous hyperpyrexia, hypotensive shock, acute respiratory failure, and whose CRS toxicities deteriorated rapidly. Moreover, low doses of dexamethasone (5-10 mg/day) were used for refractory CRS not responding to tocilizumab. The effective management of the toxicities associated with CRS will bring additional survival opportunities and improve the quality of life for patients with cancer.

Objective To observe the action ofFu Liu Zhen (acupuncture at the six abdominal points) plus moxa-box moxibustion at umbilicus on a community population of qi and yang deficiency.Method Two hundred subjects diagnosed with qi deficiency and/or yang deficiency were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 100 cases in each group. The two groups both received constitution-associated health education, and the treatment group was additionally intervened byFu Liu Zhen plus moxa-box moxibustion at umbilicus, while the control group didn’t receive any other intervention. The Score of Constitution in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the number of people of each constitution were observed prior to the intervention, right after the intervention, 6 months after the intervention and 12 months after the intervention.Result In the treatment group, the scores of qi deficiency and yang deficiency after the intervention, 6 months after the intervention and 12 months after the intervention were significantly different from that prior to the intervention (P<0.01). The scores of the corresponding constitution types (qi deficiency, yang deficiency) after the intervention, 6 months after the intervention and 12 months after the intervention were significantly different from that before the intervention (P<0.01). The proportions of subjects with harmonious constitution, qi deficiency, and yang deficiency in the treatment group after the intervention, 6 months and 12 months after the intervention were significantly different from that prior to the intervention (P<0.01). The proportions of subjects with harmonious constitution, qi deficiency, and yang deficiency in the treatment group after the intervention, 6 months and 12 months after the intervention were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionFu Liu Zhen plus moxa-box moxibustion at umbilicus can improve the qi-deficiency and yang-deficiency constitutions in the community population.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of the complex mixture of luteolin and rutin ( MLR) on 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridin ( MPTP) induced Parkinson’ s disease ( PD) mouse model. Methods Seventy-two C57BL/6 mice were divided into six groups randomly ( n=12 in each group): the normal control , model control , madopar (50 mg·kg-1) group, MLR at low (140 mg·kg-1), middle (280 mg·kg-1) and high (560 mg·kg-1) dose groups. PD mouse models were established by intraperitoneal injection of MPTP ( 30 mg · kg-1 ) . Pole test and traction performance were recorded to access the body coordinate capability and strength. The tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine transport protein ( DAT) , and glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP ) positive cells were detected by immunohistochemical method. Dopamine ( DA ) , dihydroxyphenylacetic acid ( DOPAC ) , homovanilic acid ( HVA ) , 5-hydroxytryptamine ( 5-HT ) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in striatum were quantified by HPLC-ECD. Results MLR significantly ameliorated mouse motor coordination ability (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05). MLR at 280 and 560 mg·kg-1 could increase TH-positive neurons by 69. 00%and 77. 95% compared with the normal control group (P<0. 01) and DAT-positive neurons by 68. 53% and 70. 40% compared with the normal control group(P<0. 05), and decrease GFAP-postive astrocyte reactivity. The treatment with MLR at three doses attenuated the monoamine neurotransmitter disorder. Conclusion MLR markedly improves MPTP caused movement coordinate ability injury in mice and exerts therapeutic action on PD by regulating neurotransmitters in brain, inhibiting the inflammatory reaction and alleviating the neuron injury.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical significance of WT1 gene in acute luekemia (AL) patients.Methods WT1 gene level was detected by real time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) patients.Then the expression levels of WT1 gene in different subtypes of AML were compared,and the correlation between gene expression and disease courses and prognosis were observed.Moreover,the relationship between disease courses and WT1 expression in patiens after receiving haemopoietic stem cell transplantation were analyzed.Results Among 66 cases,WT1 expression positive rate was 87.5 ％ (14/16) in AML and 76.0 ％ (38/50) in ALL.In AML,the expression level in M3 showed the lowest than that in any other subtypes (compared with M1,M2,M4,M5,P value was 0.040,0.007,0.006 and 0.01,respectively).The expression level of WT1 was closely correlated with leukemia disease courses.The expression level in complete remission (CR) group showed a significant lower expression level than that in non-remission group (P =0.018) and relapse group (P =0.003),and the re-increase of WT1 expression level could predict relapse as early as 1.5 months.Moreover,WT1 expression also showed an close relationship with prognosis of patients receiving haemopoietic stem cell transplantation.Patients whose WT1 was undetectable had a better prognosis than those with persistent expression,and increase again after becoming undetectable.Conclusion WT1 has a high expression level in AL,which can represent minimal residual disease.The expression level in M3 was lowest than that in different AML subtypes,and its expression level has a close correlation with clinical disease course and prognosis of AL.

[Objective]To discuss the clinical effect of fludarabine and busulfan (Bu+Flu) as a low toxicity myeloablative conditioning regimen for allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT)in leukemia patients.[Methods]Clinical data of 13 patients with hematological malignancies receiving conditioning regimen with Bu+Flu for allo-HSCT were analyzed retrospectively.Conditioning regimen was Bu+Flu,compalriot mismatched and unrelated transplantation combined with rabbit anti-human thymocytes immune globulin (ATG).CsA+short course of methotrexate or CsA + mycophenolate mofetil were used to prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).DNA sequencing of short tandem repeat (STR)polymorphism analysis method was performed for identification of donor stem cells implantation.[Results]13 patients all tolerated with this conditioning regimen well,no serious complications occurred.Neutrophil engraftment was at 9-15 days (median 11 days),platelet engraftment at 8-25 days (median 13 days).10 patients achieved hematopoiesis reconstitution with their full donor chimerisms confirmed by STR-DNA analysis.Acute GVHD occurred in 5 cases,accounting for 38.5％.Chronic GVHD occurred in 4 cases of 10 patients could be assessed,accounting for 40.0％.Severe GVHD more than Ⅱ degree did not happen.1-39 months (median time 11 months)of follow-up revealed the overall survival rate of 76.9％(10/13),disease-free survival of 61.5％ (8/13).The causes for death were relapse in all.[Conclusion]The conditioning regimen with Bu+Flu has low toxicity,well tolerance and better effect.
