Polycystic ovary syndrome（PCOS） and its resulting infertility is one of the common diseases of gynecology and reproductive endocrinology. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway is relatively well-studied in the development of intervention in PCOS， and the experiments on PCOS in rats conducted by traditional Chinese medicine through this signaling pathway is also the main direction of mechanistic research. In this paper， 20 articles published in academic journals in the past 5 years were selected through the corresponding criteria， and the objective situation and existing problems of the selected research projects were analyzed from five aspects， namely， baseline data， modeling and treatment， grouping， evaluative indexes， and pharmacodynamic indexes. It is found that there were different degrees of problems in each research project， such as the observation indicators of modeling， criteria for judging the success of the model， the treatment period， the calculation of dosage of prescription/active ingredients and specific dosage were not clearly defined， which could easily lead the bias of the results or reduce the validity of experimental data. Based on this， the list of PCOS rat experimental research operations was formed， involving five categories of experimental rats， model construction， study implementation， outcome measures and analysis and report with a total of 21 operation lists， with a view to provide a reference for the subsequent PCOS experiments related to scientific research and helping to form high-quality results.

[Objective] To analyze the loss rate of platelet donors and evaluate the strategies for establishing a platelet donor bank. [Methods] A total of 1 443 donors who joined the HLA and HPA gene donor bank for platelets in Henan Province from 2018 to 2020 were included in this study. Data on the total number of apheresis platelet donations, annual donation frequency, age at enrollment, donation habits (including the number of platelets donated per session and whether they had previously donated whole blood), and enrollment location were collected from the platelet donor information management system. Donor loss was determined based on the date of their last donation. The loss rates of different groups under various conditions were compared to assess the enrollment strategies. [Results] By the time the platelet bank was officially operational in 2022, 421 donors had been lost, resulting in an loss rate of 29% (421/1 443). By the end of 2023, the overall cumulative loss rate reached 52% (746/1 443). The loss rate was lower than the overall level in groups meeting any of the following conditions: total apheresis platelet donations exceeding 50, annual donation frequency of 10 or more, age at enrollment of 40 years or older, donation of more than a single therapeutic dose per session, or a history of whole blood donation two or more times. Additionally, loss rates varied across different enrollment locations, with higher enrollment numbers generally associated with higher loss rates. [Conclusion] Through a comprehensive analysis of donor loss, our center has adjusted its strategies for establishing the donor pool. These findings also provide valuable insights for other blood collection and supply institutions in building platelet donor banks.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between general anesthesia and mild cognitive impairment in older adults so as to provide new ideas for early prevention and timely intervention of mild cognitive impairment（MCI）. MethodsBased on the baseline survey of the Hubei memory and aging cohort study（2018-2023）， the participants completed a thorough neuropsychological assessment and physical examination， and self-reported a history of general anesthesia and surgery. The association of general anesthesia and MCI in the elderly was analyzed using the logistic regression model. In addition， the stratification and interaction analysis of anesthesia history， anesthesia number and physical intellectual exercise were conducted separately. ResultsA total of 5 069 older adults aged 65 and above were included in this study， including 3 692 city dwellers and 1 377 rural people， among whom were 2 584 women （51%）. Out of the 1 472 participants with history of general anesthesia， 249 people （17.4%） had MCI. After controlling for confounding factors， there was a 39.6% increased risk of MCI in older adults who underwent general anesthesia ［OR=1.396，95%CI（1.169，1.668），P<0.001］， suggesting that general anesthesia may be an independent influence on MCI. For the older adults who had one general anesthesia ［OR=1.235，95%CI（1.001，1.523），P=0.049］， two general anesthesia ［OR=1.779，95%CI （1.292，2.450），P<0.001］， and three OR more general anesthesia ［OR=2.395，95%CI （1.589，3.610），P<0.001］， their risks of MCI were increased by 23.5%， 77.9%， and 139.5%， respectively. Compared with the older adults without a history of general anesthesia who did not exercise， the risk of developing MCI was significantly negatively correlated with the exercise group， cognitive exercise group， and combined exercise and cognitive exercise groups （all P<0.001）. The risk of developing MCI in the exercise group was 60.2% of that in the no exercise group ［OR = 0.602， 95% CI（0.456， 0.795）］， the risk in the cognitive exercise group was 42.4% of that in the no exercise group ［OR = 0.424， 95% CI（0.294， 0.613）］， and the risk in the combined exercise and cognitive exercise group was 27.0% of that in the no exercise group ［OR = 0.270， 95% CI （0.208， 0.353）］. In the older adults with a history of general anesthesia， compared with the no exercise group， the risk of developing MCI was significantly negatively correlated with the cognitive exercise group and the combined exercise and cognitive exercise group （all P < 0.05）. The risk of developing MCI in the cognitive exercise group was 47.7% of that in the no exercise group ［OR=0.477， 95% CI （0.256，0.892）］， the risk in the combined exercise and cognitive exercise group was 34.5% of that in the no exercise group ［OR=0.345， 95% CI （0.220， 0.540）］， while the risk in the exercise-only group did not show a significant difference. ConclusionThe risk of MCI increased significantly in older adults with a history of general anesthesia， and this risk increased with the times of anesthesia. Physical and mental exercise reduces the risk of MCI. it is recommended that older adults with a history of anesthesia incorporate physical and mental exercise into their daily lives to prevent mild cognitive impairment.

ObjectiveTo construct a large language model （LLM）-based intelligent pre-consultation system for traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） to improve efficacy of clinical practice. MethodsA TCM large language model was fine-tuned using DeepSpeed ZeRO-3 distributed training strategy based on YAYI 2-30B. A weighted undirected graph network was designed and an agent-based syndrome differentiation model was established based on relationship data extracted from TCM literature and clinical records. An agent collaboration framework was developed to integrate the TCM LLM with the syndrome differentiation model. Model performance was comprehensively evaluated by Loss function， BLEU-4， and ROUGE-L metrics， through which training convergence， text generation quality， and language understanding capability were assessed. Professional knowledge test sets were developed to evaluate system proficiency in TCM physician licensure content， TCM pharmacist licensure content， TCM symptom terminology recognition， and meridian identification. Clinical tests were conducted to compare the system with attending physicians in terms of diagnostic accuracy， consultation rounds， and consultation duration. ResultsAfter 100 000 iterations， the training loss value was gradually stabilized at about 0.7±0.08， indicating that the TCM-LLM has been trained and has good generalization ability. The TCM-LLM scored 0.38 in BLEU-4 and 0.62 in ROUGE-L， suggesting that its natural language processing ability meets the standard. We obtained 2715 symptom terms， 505 relationships between diseases and syndromes， 1011 relationships between diseases and main symptoms， and 1 303 600 relationships among different symptoms， and constructed the Agent of syndrome differentiation model. The accuracy rates in the simulated tests for TCM practitioners， licensed pharmacists of Chinese materia medica， recognition of TCM symptom terminology， and meridian recognition were 94.09%， 78.00%， 87.50%， and 68.80%， respectively. In clinical tests， the syndrome differentiation accuracy of the system reached 88.33%， with fewer consultation rounds and shorter consultation time compared to the attending physicians （P＜0.01）， suggesting that the system has a certain pre- consultation ability. ConclusionThe LLM-based intelligent TCM pre-diagnosis system could simulate diagnostic thinking of TCM physicians to a certain extent. After understanding the patients' natural language， it collects all the patient's symptom through guided questioning， thereby enhancing the diagnostic and treatment efficiency of physicians as well as the consultation experience of the patients.

Objective:To evaluate the role of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-nitric oxide synthase 1 adaptor protein (NOS1AP) coupling in remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia in rats.Methods:Forty clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 240-260 g, aged 2-3 months, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), remifentanil group (group R), nNOS-NOS1AP inhibitor ZLc002 group (group C+ Z) and remifentanil + ZLc002 group (group R+ Z). Normal saline was intravenously infused at a rate of 0.1 ml·kg -1·min -1 for 60 min in C group. Remifentanil was intravenously infused at a rate of 1.0 μg·kg -1·min -1 for 60 min in R group. ZLc002 10 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 3 consecutive days, and then normal saline 0.1 ml·kg -1·min -1 and remifentanil 1.0 μg·kg -1·min -1 were intravenously infused for 60 min in C+ Z group and R+ Z group. The mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured at 24 h before intravenous infusion and 6, 24 and 48 h after intravenous infusion (T 0-3). All the rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain thresholds, and the L 4-6 segments of the spinal cord were removed for determination of the expression of nNOS, NOS1AP and Dexamethasone-induced Ras-related protein 1 (Dexras1) protein and mRNA using the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Nitrosylated proteins were extracted by biotin conversion for determination of the expression of nNOS, NOS1AP and total and nitrosylated Dexras1 (by Western blot) and co-expression of nNOS-NOS1AP (by co-immunoprecipitation). The content of NO in the spinal cord was measured. Results:Compared with group C, the MWT was significantly decreased, and the TWL was shortened at T 1-3, the expression of nNOS and NOS1AP protein and mRNA was up-regulated, the co-expression of nNOS-NOS1AP and NO production were increased, and the expression of nitrosylated Dexras1 was up-regulated in group R ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in each aforementioned parameter in group C+ Z ( P>0.05). Compared with group R, the MWT was significantly increased, and the TWL was prolonged at T 1-3, the co-expression of nNOS-NOS1AP and NO production were decreased, the expression of nitrosylated Dexras1 was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the expression of nNOS and NOS1AP protein and mRNA in group R+ Z ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in total Dexras1 protein and mRNA expression among the four groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which remifentanil induces hyperalgesia may be related to up-regulating the expression of nNOS and NOS1AP in the spinal cord, promoting interaction between nNOS and NOS1AP and mediating NO generation and Dexras1 nitrosylation modification in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the role of Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA) in hydrogen-induced alleviation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-caused damage to pulmonary microvascular endothelial cell(PMVEC) barrier function in mice.Methods:PMVECs were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin until 4-6 passage. These cells were divided into 6 groups ( n=36 each) using a random number table method: control group (group A), hydrogen-rich medium group (group B), LPS group (group C), LPS + hydrogen-rich medium group (group D), LPS + RhoA inhibitor C3 enzyme group (group E) and LPS + hydrogen-rich medium + RhoA agonist U-46619 group (group F). Cells were cultured within normal medium in group A, group C and group E and within hydrogen-rich medium in group B, group D and group F. LPS at a final concentration of 1 μg/ml was simultaneously added in group C, group D, group E and group F. C3 enzyme at a final concentration of 3 μg/ml was added at 2 h before addition of LPS in group E. U-46619 at a final concentration of 10 mg/ml was added at 3 h before addition of LPS in group F. The expression of vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin and occludin was determined by Western blot at 6, 12 and 24 h after incubation with LPS. At 24 h after incubation with LPS, the release rate of LDH was measured by LDH method, cell viability was measured by MTT method, and the activity of RhoA was determined by GST pull-down method. Results:Compared with group A, the expression of VE-cadherin and occludin was significantly down-regulated at 6, 12 and 24 h of incubation, the cell viability was decreased at 24 h of incubation, and the release rate of LDH and activity of RhoA were increased in group C ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the expression of VE-cadherin and occludin was significantly up-regulated at 6, 12 and 24 h of incubation, the cell viability was increased at 24 h of incubation, and the release rate of LDH and activity of RhoA were decreased in group D ( P<0.05). Compared with group C, the expression of VE-cadherin and occludin was significantly up-regulated at 6, 12 and 24 h of incubation, the cell viability was increased at 24 h of incubation, and the release rate of LDH and activity of RhoA were decreased in group E ( P<0.05). Compared with group D, the expression of VE-cadherin and occludin was significantly down-regulated at 6, 12 and 24 h of incubation, the cell viability was decreased at 24 h of incubation, and the release rate of LDH and activity of RhoA were increased in group F ( P<0.05). Conclusions:RhoA is involved in hydrogen-induced alleviation of LPS-caused damage to PMVEC barrier function in mice.

Objective:Synchronous mucinous metaplasia and neoplasia of the female genital tract (SMMN-FGT) occurring at multiple sites during the same period of time is extremely rare, and the aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features of SMMN-FGT and its relationship with prognosis.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological features and follow-up records of 25 cases of SMMN-FGT diagnosed from January 2012 to October 2022 in the case database of Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University.Results:The median age at onset was 46 years old, respectively. Clinical manifestations included irregular vaginal bleeding or drainage, pelvic pain, and ovarian cysts, etc. Germline genetic test confirmed Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (P-J syndrome) in two patients. All patients underwent surgery, and 13 patients had postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. The most frequent site of lesion was the cervix (21 cases), with 11, 10 and 16 cases occurring in the endometrium, fallopian tubes and ovaries, respectively. Six cases involved three sites simultaneously, and only one case had all four sites involved at the same time. Among the 9 cases with P53 mutation phenotype, 6 cases had gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma, 2 cases had lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia, and 1 case had mucinous adenocarcinoma, whereas all the minimally deviated adenocarcinomas had wild phenotype of P53. The median follow-up time was 59 months, during which 3 cases died and 6 cases developed local recurrence or distant metastasis. According to our analysis, postoperative recurrence or metastasis was correlated with the FIGO stage of the disease, the number of lesion sites and the severe degree of the uterine lesions ( P＜0.05). Conclusions:SMMN-FGT has a relatively good clinical prognosis, and even advanced patients can benefit from surgery and adjuvant therapy. In young patients, the ovaries may be preserved if no evidence of lesions are seen after adequate evaluation. In SMMN-FGT, gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma occurring in the cervix may have a better prognosis than gastric-type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the cervix alone, so the accurate diagnosis of SMMN-FGT is critical for clinical management.

Objective: To investigate the differences in enolase and laminin levels in vaginal epithelial tissues between mice successfully infected withGardnerellaand mice not infected with Gardnerella, providing information for further exploration of the correlation between enolase and laminin levels and the incidence of bacterial vaginosis. Methods: Gardnerella strains isolated, purified, and identified from vaginal secretions of patients with bacterial vaginosis were used to infect the vagina of mice and establish a mouse model of bacterial vaginosis. Successful and failed mice was defined as successful and failed groups, respectively. Differential expression of enolase and laminin in the vaginal epithelial tissue of two groups of mice was detected by Western blot. Modeling success rate was statistically analyzed, and the expression differences of enolase and laminin was compared between two groups. Results: One strain of Gardnerella vaginalis infected 10 SPF grade KM mice, 7 mice met the diagnostic criteria for bacterial vaginosis, and 3 mice failed to model, with a success rate of 70%. Western blot was used to detect protein expression levels, and the levels of laminin and enolase in the successfully modeled mouse vaginal epithelial tissue were significantly higher than those in the failed modeling group, with statistical differences between the two groups(P<0.05). Conclusion Enolase and laminin may be involved in the occurrence of bacterial vaginosis, however, further research is needed to determine the mechanisms through which they trigger the occurrence and development of the disease.
