OBJECTIVE To observe the efficacy and safety of goserelin combined with estradiol valerate in the treatment of endometriosis (EMs) in patients of childbearing age after laparoscopic surgery. METHODS The clinical data of 144 patients with EMs of childbearing age who underwent laparoscopic surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were collected retrospectively, and those patients were divided into control group (70 cases) and combination group (74 cases) based on different postoperative medication regimens. Control group was given Acetate goserelin sustained-release implant on the 1st to 5th day of their first menstrual cycle after laparoscopic surgery, while combination group was additionally given Estradiol valerate tablets on the basis of control group. The short-term and long-term efficacy of 2 groups were observed; preoperative and postoperative pain scores, ovarian reserve function, and the incidence of adverse reactions were all recorded in 2 groups. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference in short-term total effective rate, 1-year postoperative recurrence rate and the incidence of decreased libido, vaginal dryness, gastrointestinal reactions, rash, or arrhythmia between two groups (P>0.05). The natural pregnancy rate of combination group was significantly higher than control group at 1 year after surgery, while the incidence E-mail:wanghuiling0518@126.com of early miscarriage, hot flashes and sweating, emotional fluctuations, insomnia and fatigue, joint muscle pain, dizziness and headache were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). However, at 6 months after surgery, pain scores and the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol of both groups were significantly lower than before surgery in the same group, while the number of antral follicle count was significantly higher than before surgery in the same group; the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and the number of antral follicles in the combination group were significantly higher than control group, while pain score and follicle stimulating hormone level were significantly lower than control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The combination of goserelin and estradiol valerate after laparoscopic surgery has a significant therapeutic effect and good safety in the treatment of EMs of childbearing age.

The questionnaire included: demographic information, history of past illness, personal history, and all subjects were measured for height, weight, blood pressure, abdominal circumference, etc. The diagnostic of HUA if the serum uric acid (SUA) level >420 μmol/L in men or >360 μmol/L in women. The incidences of HUA in different age, sex, food type and life style behavior were analyzed. T test, non-parametric test and Chi-square test were used to analyze the differences among the groups, and logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors. Results:①A total of 2 138 subjects were surveyed, among which 68 patients were with HUA, the prevalence of HUA in Bozidun Kirghiz township, Aksu region in the general population was 3.18%(68/2 138); the prevalence rate in men was 4.60%(45/978), 45 patients were identified; and the prevalence rate in women was 1.98%(23/1 160), 23 patients were identified. The peak age of HUA in male and female patients was 51~60 years old. ②The prevalence of HUA was lower in those who consumed dairy products ( χ2=6.91, P=0.017), nuts ( χ2=8.43, P=0.038) and eggs ( χ2=7.38, P=0.023), and lower in those who consumed more. Different intake of cereals ( χ2=0.87, P=0.647), meat( χ2=0.82, P=0.662), vegetables and fruits( χ2=5.22, P=0.073) had no effect on the prevalence of HUA.③In terms of different life behaviors, the prevalence of HUA in men who had been smoking was higher than those who had never smoked (57.78%, 28.89%, 13.33%, χ2=8.16, P=0.017). In the relationship between drinking and HUA, the prevalence rates of male always drinking, ever drinking and never drinking were 80.00%, 11.11% and 3.89%, respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.67, P=0.038). ④Multi-factor logistic regression analysis showed that high BMI, old age, high TG, increased Cr and increased WBC were risk factors for the occurrence of HUA [ OR(95% CI)=1.13(1.04, 1.23), 1.03(1.00,1.05),1.39(1.00, 1.93), 1.03(1.02, 1.05), 1.27(1.07, 1.49), all P<0.05]. Conclusion:The prevalence of HUA in Bozidun Kirgiz township in Aksu prefecture of Xinjiang is lower than that in other areas with continental climate. High BMI, old age, high TG, increased Cr and increased WBC count are risk factors for the development of HUA .

Objective:To investigate the levels and clinical significance of insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) in the serum of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods:Serum samples from 82 patients with RA admitted to the Affiliated Dongyang Hospital to wenzhou Medical Umiversity from December 2019 to February 2022 were collected as the experimental group and the serum of 45 healthy individuals from the physical examination center as the control group. Serum levels of IGF2BP3 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the t-test was used to compare the difference in IGF2BP3 levels between the two groups. The value of IGF2BP3 in the diagnosis of RA was analyzed by plotting a ROC curve, and after determining the cut-off value, serum IGF2BP3 levels were divided into high and low levels. The relationship between serum IGF2BP3 levels and various clinical features of RA patients was then analyzed using the chi-square test. Results:The serum levels of IGF2BP3 in RA patients were significantly higher compared to healthy controls [(0.60±0.55)ng/ml vs. (0.31±0.17)ng/ml, t=4.42, P<0.001]. The cut-off value of IGF2BP3 was determined as 0.308 ng/ml. The high level of IGF2BP3 was significantly more prevalent in active RA patients (78.8%, 41/52) than in non-active patients (56.7%, 17/30) ( χ2=4.52, P=0.033). The level of IGF2BP3 was positively correlated with the C-reactive protein level ( r=0.29, P=0.008), and the prevalence of high IGF2BP3 level in the elevated CRP group (82.0%, 41/50) was significantly higher than that in the decreased CRP group (54.8%, 17/31) ( χ2=6.94, P=0.008). The AUC of the ROC curve for serum IGF2BP3 in the diagnosis of RA was 0.700, with a sensitivity of 70.7% and a specificity of 60.0%. When using 0.575, 0.689, and 0.727 ng/ml as the cut-off values for serum IGF2BP3, the sensitivity was 34.1%, 26.8%, and 23.2%, respectively, with the specificity of 95.6%, 97.8%, and 100.0%, respectively. Conclusion:The level of serum IGF2BP3 is closely associated with RA disease progression.

Objective:To analyze the effect of individualized exercise intervention on weight loss and improvement of metabolic indexes in individuals with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 1 200 MS patients who underwent health examinations in the Beijing Aerospace General Hospital Healthy Management Center from 2019 to 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were randomly divided into the experimental group (600 cases) and the control group (600 cases) by random number table. Based on the patient′s physical fitness data, a 3-month personalized exercise intervention was implemented for the experimental group, which included aerobic exercise 3 to 4 times/week combined with resistance exercise≥2 times/week, and MS-related health examinations were given too. The control group only received physical examination. Paired t-test was used to compare the changes in weight and metabolic-related indicators before and after the intervention in the two groups. Two-sample t-test was used to compare the differences in intervention effects between groups. The effect of personalized exercise intervention on weight loss and improvement of metabolic indicators in the MS population was analyzed. Results:After the intervention, the weight, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol esters, and triglyceride levels in the experimental group were all significantly lower than those before [(72.5±12.9) vs (74.2±13.6) kg, (27.3±3.5) vs (27.9±3.5) kg/m2, 0.87±0.08 vs 0.91±0.08, (71±7) vs (74±9) times/min, (131±11) vs (138±14) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (80±8) vs (85±9) mmHg, (6.0±1.1) vs (6.9±1.6) mmol/L, (2.78±0.78) vs (3.12±0.77) mmol/L, (4.62±1.04) vs (5.22±0.97) mmol/L, (1.36±0.42) vs (2.59±2.01) mmol/L], but the high-density lipoprotein level was significantly higher than that before [(1.31±0.31) vs (1.27±0.29) mmol/L] (all P<0.05). The weight, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol esters, and triglyceride levels after the intervention in the control group were all significantly higher than those before [(68.1±5.9) vs (67.1±5.9) kg, (25.3±2.4) vs (24.9±2.4) kg/m2, 0.83±0.07 vs 0.82±0.06, (127±12) vs (125±12) mmHg, (3.50±1.45) vs (3.20±1.21) mmol/L, (5.50±1.80) vs (5.30±1.52) mmol/L, (1.59±0.82) vs (1.40±0.65) mmol/L], but the high-density lipoprotein level was significantly lower than that before the intervention [(1.28±0.28) vs (1.38±0.28) mmol/L] (all P<0.05). The intervention effects on weight, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, glucose, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, total cholesterol and triglycerides levels in the experimental group were all significantly better than those in the control group [(-1.4±13.3) vs (1.0±5.9) kg, (-0.6±3.5) vs (0.4±2.4) kg/m2, -0.04±0.08 vs 0.01±0.06, (-3±8) vs (0±7) times/min, (-7±12) vs (2±12) mmHg, (-5±9) vs (0±8) mmHg, (-0.9±1.4) vs (0±0.5) mmol/L, (0.04±0.30) vs (-0.10±0.28) mmol/L, (-0.34±0.77) vs (0.30±1.34) mmol/L, (-0.60±1.00) vs (0.20±1.66) mmol/L, (-1.23±1.45) vs (0.19±0.74) mmol/L ] (all P<0.001). Conclusion:Individualized exercise intervention can effectively promote weight loss and improve metabolic-related indicators in MS patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic etiology for a child with profound intellectual disabilities and obvious behavioral abnormalities.
METHODS:
A male child who had presented at the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University on December 2, 2020 was selected as the study subject. Peripheral blood samples of the child and his parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis was carried out to determine its parental origin. The splicing variant was also validated in vitro with a minigene assay.
RESULTS:
WES results revealed that the child had harbored a novel splicing variant of c.176-2A>G in the PAK3 gene, which was inherited from his mother. The results of minigene assay have confirmed aberrant splicing of exon 2. According to the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics, it was classified as a pathogenic variant (PVS1+PM2_Supporting+PP3).
CONCLUSION
The novel splicing variant c.176-2A>G of the PAK3 gene probably underlay the disorder in this child. Above finding has expanded the variation spectrum of the PAK3 gene and provided a basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this family.
