BACKGROUND:At present,many drugs used in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome are super-designated drugs,and the treatment of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome still faces great challenges.Studies have shown that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can repair ovarian function,but few studies have reported their therapeutic effect on polycystic ovary syndrome. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the therapeutic effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on polycystic ovary syndrome,and to preliminarily explore the correlation between mitochondrial autophagy and the improvement of polycystic ovary syndrome by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Polycystic ovary syndrome mouse model was established by subcutaneous injection of dehydroepiandrosterone for 20 days into C57BL/6J mice.Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(2×106)were injected through the caudal vein.After treatment,vaginal secretions were collected for 10 consecutive days to detect the estrus cycle of mice.At 2 weeks after treatment,the levels of sex hormones in the peripheral blood of mice,including luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone,were detected by ELISA.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate ovarian histopathology.Finally,mitochondrial autophagy in ovaries was observed by transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)After human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell therapy,follicles at different stages(primitive follicles,primary follicles,and secondary follicles)appeared in the ovary of polycystic ovary syndrome mice,and luteal tissue could be seen,indicating that ovulation function of mice was effectively improved.(2)Polycystic ovary syndrome mice treated with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells had sex hormone levels.(3)Untreated polycystic ovary syndrome mice were found to be in the estrous stage for a long time,lacking estrous interphase and estrous phase,but after human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell therapy,the estrous cycle returned to a normal level.(4)After treatment with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells,the mitochondrial autophagy of polycystic ovary syndrome mice was significantly reduced.(5)The results show that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can effectively improve the symptoms of endocrine disorders and promote ovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome mice,which may be related to the inhibition of mitochondrial autophagy.

Objective To investigate the changes of C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein-12(CTRP12)levels in serum of the pa-tients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI)before and after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI),and explore its clinical sig-nificance.Methods A total of 50 patients with AMI who underwent emergency PCI and 35 patients with normal coronary angiography results in Danyang People's Hospital from November 2021 to October 2022 were enrolled.The CTRP12 levels in peripheral venous ser-um were compared between the two groups.The levels of serum CTRP12 levels were measured before,during and on the 3rd,5th and 7th day after PCI.The serum CTRP12 levels in culprit coronary ostium and peripheral vein were compared.CTRP12 levels in peripher-al venous serum were compared at different time points after PCI.The severity of coronary artery disease was evaluated by SYNTAX score system,and the AMI patients were divided into two groups:SYNTAX score ≤22 and SYNTAX score＞22.The serum CTRP12 levels were compared between the two groups and before and after PCI.The correlation between CTRP12 and age,body mass index(BMI),fasting blood glucose,blood lipid and other factors was analyzed.The influencing factors of the severity of coronary artery le-sions were analyzed by logistic regression.Results The serum CTRP12 level in the patients with AMI was significantly lower than that in healthy controls(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference between the serum CTRP12 levels between preoperative peripheral vein and intraoperative culprit coronary orifice(P＞0.05).Compared with that before PCI,the serum CTRP12 level was lower on the 3rd day after PCI(P＜0.05),and increased on the 5th and 7th days after PCI,but no statistically significant difference was found(P＞0.05).Compared with those on the 3rd day after PCI,the serum CTRP12 levels were increased on the 5th and 7th day after PCI,but no statistically significant differences were found(all P＞0.05).Compared with that in the SYNTAX≤22 group,the CTRP12 levels were significantly lower than those before PCI and on the 3rd day after PCI(all P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference on the 5th and 7th day after PCI in SYNTAX＞22 group(all P＞0.05).CTRP12 was negatively correlated with the level of total cholesterol(TC)and positively correlated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that CTRP12 was an independent influencing factor for the severity of coronary artery disease in the patients with AMI(β=-1.671,OR=0.188,P＜0.05).After adjusting for the effects of age,gender,BMI,smoking,hypertension,diabetes,fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),HDL-C and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),CTRP12 was still an independent in-fluencing factor for the severity of coronary artery disease in the patients with AMI(β=-3.441,OR=0.032,P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum CTRP12 level was significantly decreased in the patients with AMI before PCI,and showed continuous decline on the 3rd day after PCI,but increased on the 5th and 7th day after PCI.CTRP12 should be an independent influencing factor for the severity of coronary artery disease in the patients with AMI.

The clinical diagnosis of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome combined with Fanconi syndrome is relatively rare. The paper reports a 47-year-old female patient of TINU syndrome with hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, hypouricemia and renal impairment as initial symptoms followed by uveitis. Serological tests showed that the patient also met the diagnostic criteria of Fanconi syndrome. Renal tissue pathology confirmed tubular interstitial injury, manifested as interstitial nephritis with acute tubular injury. Ophthalmic examination confirmed iritis in the right eye. After excluding other primary diseases, the patient was diagnosed as TINU syndrome with Fanconi syndrome. After glucocorticoid therapy, ocular symptoms, renal impairment and electrolyte disturbance were significantly improved.

Objective:To observe any effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on sleep disorders among children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods:A total of 102 children with CP and disordered sleep were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, each of 51. All were given routine rehabilitation and sleep health education, but the experimental group additionally received rTMS for two weeks. The polysomnography (PSG) results of the two groups were recorded and analyzed.Results:The PSG parameters had improved greatly in both groups after the treatment. The percentage of N2 sleep (depth of sleep during light sleep) in the severe cerebral palsy group and of N3 sleep (depth of sleep during deep sleep) in the moderate cerebral palsy group had increased significantly more than in the mild cerebral palsy group, on average. After the intervention the percentages of N2 and N3 in those with mixed cerebral palsy and of N3 in those with involuntary motor cerebral palsy had increased significantly more than in those with spastic cerebral palsy, on average.Conclusion:rTMS treatment can improve the sleep disorders of children with cerebral palsy, especially N2 sleep among children with moderate to severe cerebral palsy, N3 sleep in cases of mixed or dyskinetic CP.

Objective To analyze and verify the factors influencing the prediction model of suicidal ideation of burn patients in hospital based on international scale.Methods The clinical data of 194 burn patients treated in hospi-tal were retrospectively analyzed.General data questionnaire,ISI,HAMD,HAMA,ASDS and BSHS-B were used to evaluate the influencing factors of suicidal ideation.According to the presence or absence of suicidal ideation,the patients were divided into the suicidal ideation group and the non-suicidal ideation group.The baseline data be-tween the groups were compared,univariate screening of meaningful variables was conducted,and multivariate Lo-gistic regression modeling was further conducted.ROC analysis evaluated model differentiation,and internal verifi-cation was conducted.Results According to the baseline data analysis results,there were no statistically signifi-cant differences in age,BMI,years of education,smoking history,estimated percentage of burned area,head and neck burns,hip and perineal burns,and pain scores in the suicidal ideation group(21/194)compared with the non-suicidal ideation group(173/194).Gender(P=0.047),presence or absence of trunk burn(P=0.022),severity of burn(moderate burn:P=0.002;severe burn:P=0.458;extremely severe burn:P=0.169),ISI score(P=0.001),HAMD score(P=0.001),HAMA score(P＜0.001),ASDS score(P=0.003),BSHS-B score(P=0.011)had statistical significance.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the severity of burn(moderate burn:OR=0.103,P=0.009;severe burn:OR=0.351,P=0.223;extremely severe burn:OR=0.103,P=0.095)and HAMA score(OR=1.136,P=0.007)were independent influencing factors for burn patients with suicidal ideation.The Logistic regression prediction model was established by two independent influ-encing factors.ROC analysis results showed that the model had good differentiation(AUC=0.880,95％CI:0.808-0.952,P＜0.001)and the internal verification accuracy was 79.38％.Conclusion The prediction model built on the basis of two independent influencing factors,burn severity and HAMA score,has a good predic-tion accuracy,which is helpful for clinicians to intervene as soon as possible for burn patients with suicidal ideation in hospital,in order to reduce the incidence and enrich clinical psychological research.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of Mudan Granules combined with pentoxifylline in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with early renal disease and analyze its impact on the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Methods A total of 164 patients with T2DM and early renal disease admitted to the Second People's Hospital of Hunan Province between May 2022 and October 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into observation group(n=82) and control group (n=82) using a random number table in a 1-to-1 ratio. The control group received pentoxifylline treatment, while the observation group received Mudan granules combined with pentoxifylline. The clinical effects and changes in renal function indicators[serum creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen, urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)], TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway indicators (TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB mRNA), and inflammation and oxidative stress indicators [C-reactive protein (CRP), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)] before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate in the observation group was 97.56%, which was higher than 89.02% in the control group (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 weeks after treatment, the levels of SCr, urea nitrogen, and UACR in both groups decreased compared with those before treatment, and the levels of these indicators in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 weeks after treatment, the levels of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB mRNA in both groups decreased compared with those before treatment, and the levels of these indicators in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). At 6 and 12 weeks after treatment, the levels of GSH-PX and TAC in both groups increased, while the levels of CRP, MDA, and TGF-β1 decreased compared with those before treatment. The levels of GSH-PX and TAC in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the levels of CRP and MDA were lower (P<0.05). Conclusion Mudan Granules combined with pentoxifylline in the treatment of T2DM with early renal disease can improve renal function to a certain extent, regulate the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway, and reduce inflammation and oxidative stress responses, which is beneficial for disease control.

Complicated crown root fracture is a serious combined fracture of the enamel,dentin,and cementum in dental trauma.The treatment method is complicated.During the procedure,the condition of pulp,periodontal,and tooth body should be thoroughly evaluated,and a multidisciplinary approach combined with sequential treatment is recom-mended.This case reported the different treatment and repair processes of one case of two affected teeth after complicat-ed crown root fracture of upper anterior teeth,including regrafting of broken crown after flap surgery at the first visit,di-rect resin repair to remove broken fragments,and pulp treatment and post-crown repair at the second visit.After 18 months of follow-up,the preservation treatment of the affected teeth with complicated crown root fracture was achieved.Therefore,fragment reattachment and post-crown restoration are feasible treatment options for children with complicated crown root fracture.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of the use of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension, which should aid the development of TIPS in China.Methods:The China Portal Hypertension Alliance (CHESS) initiated this study that comprehensively investigated the basic situation of TIPS for portal hypertension in China through network research. The survey included the following: the number of surgical cases, main indications, the development of Early-TIPS, TIPS for portal vein cavernous transformation, collateral circulation embolization, intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurement, commonly used stent types, conventional anticoagulation and time, postoperative follow-up, obstacles, and the application of domestic instruments.Results:According to the survey, a total of 13 527 TIPS operations were carried out in 545 hospitals participating in the survey in 2021, and 94.1% of the hospital had the habit of routine follow-up after TIPS. Most hospitals believed that the main indications of TIPS were the control of acute bleeding (42.6%) and the prevention of rebleeding (40.7%). 48.1% of the teams carried out early or priority TIPS, 53.0% of the teams carried out TIPS for the cavernous transformation of the portal vein, and 81.0% chose routine embolization of collateral circulation during operation. Most of them used coils and biological glue as embolic materials, and 78.5% of the team routinely performed intraoperative portal pressure gradient measurements. In selecting TIPS stents, 57.1% of the hospitals woulel choose Viator-specific stents, 57.2% woulel choose conventional anticoagulation after TIPS, and the duration of anticoagulation was between 3-6 months (55.4%). The limitation of TIPS surgery was mainly due to cost (72.3%) and insufficient understanding of doctors in related departments (77.4%). Most teams accepted the domestic instruments used in TIPS (92.7%).Conclusions:This survey shows that TIPS treatment is an essential part of treating portal hypertension in China. The total number of TIPS cases is far from that of patients with portal hypertension. In the future, it is still necessary to popularize TIPS technology and further standardize surgical indications, routine operations, and instrument application.

Objective To analyze the situation of life sciences and medical research involving human subjects conducted in a public hospital in Ningxia from 2020 to 2022 and explore the problems in the current management of such research and pro-vides suggestions for improvement.Methods Data were collected from research project application documents,task assign-ments,progress reports,final reports,and statistical tables of clinical drug trials conducted in the hospital from 2021 to 2022.Statistical analysis was performed on the life sciences and medical research involving human subjects.Results The number of research projects involving human subjects in the hospital increased annually from 2020 to 2022,accounting for more than 50%of the total projects.Over the three years,the sample size exceeded 100,000,and the number of projects with a cumulative collec-tion of more than 3,000 individuals showed an upward trend.However,the project registration rate was less than 10%.These types of research involve a large number of biological samples and information data,which have research value.However,re-searchers lack awareness of project registration,highlighting the need for greater attention from the hospital.Conclusion It is a trend to explore the medical value of this type of research in depth.The hospital should closely follow relevant national and re-gional policies,conduct dynamic monitoring and evaluation,and enhance supervision and management capabilities as a key factor in protecting biological samples and information data.This study also provides reference for other public hospitals in carrying out related regulatory work.

AIM:To explore the effect of the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses and orthokeratology(OK)on the control of myopia progression and the impact on vision related quality of life in children and adolescents.METHODS:Prospective study. A total of 237 children initially diagnosed with myopia in the ophthalmology department of Huzhou Central Hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected and divided into two groups according to different correction methods: peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group(105 cases, 105 eyes)and OK lens group(132 cases, 132 eyes). The Vision Related Quality of Life Questionnaire for Primary and Secondary School Students was used to follow up the both groups of myopic children, and the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), spherical equivalent(SE), and axial length(AL)were recorded at the first visit and 1 a of follow-up.RESULTS:After wearing lenses for 1 a, both the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group and OK lens group showed an increase in SE and AL, but there was no statistical difference between two groups(P>0.05). The changes in SE and AL in the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group were greater than those in the OK lens group(all P=0.001). After 1 a of follow-up, in the emotional dimension scores, the peripheral defocus spectacle lenses group of children's vision-related quality of life scales scored higher than in the OK lens group(P<0.05). Compared with the baseline value, the change in the emotional dimension scores of the OK lens group was greater than that in the peripheral defocus spectacle lens group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:OK lenses are superior to peripheral defocus spectacle lenses in controlling the progression of myopia in children and adolescents. Both correction methods can significantly improve myopic children's vision-related quality of life, with OK lenses being better at improving the emotional dimension of vision-related quality of life.
