Objective:To detect the levels of sex hormones and insulin in follicular fluid(FF)and the expression level of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten(PTEN)in granulosa cells in the infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS),and to preliminarily explain the correlations between the insulin level and the expression level of PTEN mRNA.Methods:Seventy infertile patients were selected as the subjects and divided into PCOS group and control group(tubal obstruction or infertility due to male factors)according to infertility factors.All patients received in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET)treatment.FF and ovarian granulosa cells were collected on the day of ovulation.The expression levels of PTEN mRNA in ovarian granulosa cells of the patients in two groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method.The levels of sex hormone and insulin in FF were measured by electrochemiluminescence.The correlations of the PTEN mRNA expression level in ovarian granulosa cells and testosterone(T)in FF with the level of insulin in FF were analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis method.Results:There were no significant differences in age,infertility years,body mass index(BMI),basic sex hormone,total dose of gonadotropin(Gn)and days of ovulation induction in two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with control group,the anti-Mullerian hormone(AMH)and antral follicle counting(AFC)of the patients in PCOS group were significantly increased(P＜0.05).The RT-qPCR results showed that the PTEN mRNA expression level in ovarian granulosa cells of the patients in the PCOS group was higher than that in control group(P＜0.001).The electrochemiluminescence results showed that the levels of T and insulin in FF of the patients in PCOS group were higher than those in control group(P＜0.05),whereas the estrogen and progesterone levels were lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).The Spearman correlation analysis showed that that T level in FF was positively correlated with the insulin level of the patients in PCOS group(r=0.577,P＜0.001),and the PTEN mRNA expression level in ovarian granulosa cells was positively correlated with the insulin levels in FF(r=0.616,P＜0.001);in control group,there was no correlation between T level and insulin level in FF(r=0.266,P=0.123),and there was no correlation between the expression level of PTEN mRNA in granulosa cells and the insulin level in FF in control group(r=-0.214,P=0.216).Conclusion:The high expression of PTEN in granulosa cells of the infertile patients with PCOS may be related to the local hyperinsulin level in the ovary,and PTEN participates in the occurrence and development of PCOS.

Aquaporin 5(AQP5)is a specific protein that can significantly increase the water permeability of cell membrane,partici-pate in the process of water secretion and absorption,maintain the balance of water molecules inside and outside the cell,and transport water across the membrane.Programmed cell death(PCD)is closely associated with the development and progression of Sj?gren's syn-drome(SS).AQP5 may influence the development and progression of SS by regulating the PCD mechanism.This article reviews the mo-lecular mechanisms of AQP5 in regulating the apoptosis,pyroptosis,autophagy,and ferroptosis of cells in recent years and discusses the potential influence of AQP5 on SS,in order to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of SS.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) refers to acute diffuse lung injury caused by a variety of intrapulmonary and/or extrapulmonary factors such as infection and trauma. Uncontrolled inflammatory response is the main pathological feature. Different functional states of alveolar macrophages have different effects on inflammatory response. Transcription activating factor 3 (ATF3) is a fast response gene in the early stage of stress. In recent years, it has been found that ATF3 plays an important role in regulating the inflammatory response of ARDS by regulating the function of macrophages. This paper reviews the regulatory effects of ATF3 on alveolar macrophage polarization, autophagy and endoplasmic reticulum stress and its effects on the inflammatory process of ARDS, aiming to provide a new research direction for the prevention and treatment of ARDS.

Objective:To develop a questionnaire on perimenopausal cognition and behavior and verify its reliability and validity, in order to provide an effective tool for evaluating perimenopausal women's cognition, doctor-seeking and doctor-following behaviors.Methods:Baseline survey, literature analysis and brainstorming were formed in the initial items, and group discussion and expert interview were performed to identify items of the form. By convenience sampling method, A survey was conducted on perimenopausal women in the communities around Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from July to August 2019. Project analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and reliability test were used to evaluate the questionnaire.Results:Two rounds of questionnaires were distributed in this study. In the first round, 260 questionnaires were distributed, 249 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 95.8% (249/260). In the second round, 249 questionnaires were distributed, and the effective recovery rate was 96.4% (240/249). The questionnaire on perimenopausal cognition and behavior included 4 dimensions and 24 items. The cumulative contribution of variance was 66.330%, the Cronbach α coefficient was 0.893 and the spearman-brown half-fold coefficient was 0.773. Regarding to the construct validity, the correlation coefficient between factors and total score of the questionnaire was 0.567-0.860 ( P < 0.01). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the approximate error root mean square was 0.055, the normal fitting index was 0.801, and the goodness of fit index was 0.828. Conclusions:The questionnaire has been proved to be reliable and valid. It can be used to evaluate perimenopausal women′s cognition, doctor-seeking and doctor-following behaviors.

High mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1), a highly conversed non-histone nucleoproteins with strong pro-inflammatory property, is one of the inflammatory mediator of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Numerous studies have confirmed that HMGB1 regulates ARDS by binding to receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE), Toll-like receptor (TLR) and etc. And it can significantly increase the mortality of ARDS. But the mechanism of HMGB1 release is still unclear. This study focuses on the HMGB1 release progress, which connected with Janus kinases/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), Notch, inflammasome, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and other signaling or dependent pathways in ARDS.
