OBJECTIVE To study the improvement effects of poria acid on insulin resistance in rats with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its mechanism. METHODS One hundred and twenty-six female rats were randomly separated into blank group, PCOS group, poria acid low-dose group (8.33 mg/kg), pachymic acid high-dose group (33.32 mg/kg), ethinylestradiol cyproterone group (positive control group, 0.34 mg/kg), recombinant rat high mobility group protein B1 protein (rHMGB1) group (8 μg/kg), and poria acid high dose+rHMGB1 group (33.32 mg/kg poria acid+8 μg/kg rHMGB1), with 18 rats in each group. Except for the blank group, the rats in all other groups were given Letrozole suspension intragastrically to construct the PCOS model. After successful modeling, administration was performed once a day for 4 weeks. After medication, the fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin levels, and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were measured in rats; the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (T) in rat serum, and the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) in ovarian tissue were detected; ovarian coefficients of rats were calculated; the pathological changes of ovarian tissue were observed; the expressions of HMGB1, receptor for advanced glycosylation elaine_ tanghong@sina.com end product (RAGE) and phosphorylated nuclear factor κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65) proteins were determined in ovarian tissue of rats. RESULTS Compared with the blank group, the pathological injury of ovarian tissue of rats in the PCOS group was serious, the levels of fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin, HOMA-IR and ovarian coefficient were increased, the levels of serum LH and T were increased, while the levels of FSH were decreased; the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α, the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE and p-NF-κB p65 protein in ovarian tissue were increased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared with the PCOS group, pathological damage of ovarian tissue was reduced in poria acid low-dose and high-dose groups and ethinylestradiol cyproterone group, and fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin levels, HOMA-IR and ovarian coefficient were decreased; serum LH and T levels were decreased, while FSH levels were increased; the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α and the expressions of HMGB1, RAGE and p-NF-κB p65 protein in ovarian tissue were decreased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The trend of corresponding indexes in rHMGB1 group was opposite to the above (P<0.05). Compared with poria acid high-dose group, the changes of the above indexes were reversed significantly in poria acid high-dose+rHMGB1 group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Poria acid may improve insulin resistance and inhibit inflammatory reaction in PCOS rats by inhibiting HMGB1/ RAGE pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) patients with angioedema (AE) .Methods:Clinical data were collected from adult outpatients with active CSU diagnosed and treated at the First Hospital of China Medical University from January 2019 to December 2021, and analyzed retrospectively. The data included gender, age, disease duration, the presence or absence of angioedema, urticaria activity score for one day, prior treatments, previous history, family history, laboratory test results, therapeutic effect, and adverse reactions. Their treatment regimens were based on the Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of urticaria (2018) and the American guidelines for the diagnosis and management of urticaria (2014). Statistical analysis was carried out by using Mann-Whitney U test, two-independent-sample t test, Chi-square test, corrected Chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. Results:A total of 131 CSU patients were collected, including 78 females and 53 males. Their age at the first visit was 44.6 ± 13.3 years, and the disease duration ( M[ Q1, Q3]) was 4.0 (2.0, 10.0) months. Among these CSU patients, there were 58 with AE and 73 without AE. The disease duration was significantly longer in the CSU patients with AE (6.0 [3.0, 24.0] months) than in those without AE (3.5 [2.0, 6.0] months; Z = -2.78, P = 0.005). The urticaria activity score for one day was also significantly higher in the CSU patients with AE (5.0 [3.0, 5.3] points) than in those without AE (4.0 [3.0, 5.0] points; Z = -2.63, P = 0.008). The CSU patients with AE showed a decreased proportion of patients completely controlled by licensed-dose second-generation H1-antihistamines (sgAHs) (8.6%, 5/58) compared with those without AE (24.7%, 18/73), but an increased proportion of patients uncontrolled by licensed-dose sgAHs (91.4%, 53/58) compared with those without AE (74.0%, 54/73; Z = -2.53, P = 0.011) ; there were no significant differences in the proportions of patients completely controlled or uncontrolled by updosed sgAHs alone or combinations of 2- to 4-fold equivalent-dose sgAHs, or in the proportions of patients completely controlled or uncontrolled by combination therapy with 4-fold equivalent-dose sgAHs and non-H1-antihistamines between the CSU patients with AE and those without AE ( P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Compared with the CSU patients without AE, the CSU patients with AE had a longer disease duration, higher disease activity, a lower proportion of patients completely controlled by licensed-dose sgAHs, and a higher proportion of patients uncontrolled by licensed-dose sgAHs.

【Objective】 To investigate the resource allocation status of blood testing laboratories in 14 blood stations in Gansu Province, explore the impact of differences in basic conditions on the comprehensive testing ability of laboratories, so as to promote the homogenization and standardization of blood screening capacity in blood stations in Gansu and improve blood safety and effectivenes. 【Methods】 An evaluation index system of laboratory resource allocation was constructed and a question-naire was designed. The data of human resources, infrastructure and key equipment of 14 blood stations were collected. The entropy weight -TOPSIS method was used to evaluate and rank the resource allocation of 14 blood stations. 【Results】 In the comprehensive evaluation of blood testing laboratory resource allocation in 14 blood stations in Gansu, the top three were laboratories A, B and I, and the last three were laboratories G, M and J. On the whole, the main issue was unreasonable structure of human resources: most laboratories had unreasonable age structure; except for Laboratory A, there was no personnel with bachelor's degree or above in laboratories; most laboratories had not established a team with intermediate professional titles. In terms of infrastructure, the size of seven laboratories could not meet the needs of modern laboratory testing, and all eight blood stations had no spare nucleic acid laboratories nor a mutual spare laboratory with other blood stations As for the key equipment, 5 laboratories had no automatic blood grouping diagnostic instrument, 5 laboratories only had one set of enzyme immunoassay detection system, 3 laboratories had no spare equipment for the key equipment, which means if the equipment failure could not be repaired in time, the release of results would be affected. 【Conclusion】 There were significant differences in human resources, infrastructure and key equipment of blood testing laboratories in 14 blood stations in Gansu, which had a great impact on laboratory testing capacity and subsequent development. It is suggested that governments at all levels and health administrative departments optimize the input of laboratory resource allocation according to the blood collection volume of blood stations to gradually narrow the differences in resource distribution between different regions, improve the degree of laboratory automation and optimize the personnel structure, so as to build high-quality and efficient blood testing laboratories and ensure the safety of clinical blood use.

Objective:To summarize the complications and prevention after botulinum toxin type A(BTA) injection for masseter muscle hypertrophy(MMH).Methods:The clinical data of patients with masseter hypertrophy who received BTA injection in Shanxi Bethune Hospital from January 2019 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Injection method: 100 U BTA was prepared into a solution with a concentration of 50 U/ml with 2 ml 0.9% sodium chloride injection. The "safe injection zone" of the masseter muscle was marked. The anterior and posterior boundaries were the anterior and posterior edges of the masseter muscle, respectively. The upper boundary was the line from the corner of the mouth to the earlobe, and the lower boundary was the lower edge of the mandible. The injection points(3 or 4 points) were at least 1 cm away from the four borders, and 25-40 U was injected on each side. The patients were followed up after treatment, the types of complications were recorded, and the treatment measures were summarized.Results:A total of 160 patients were enrolled, including 8 males and 152 females, with a mean age of (30.6±6.2) years. All patients were followed up for 1 to 6 months. The masseter muscle of all patients was reduced to varying degrees, the lower facial lines were softer, and the facial contour was improved. The incidence of complications was 81.3%(130/160). There were four main types of complications: (1) Complications with a nonmuscular etiology include ecchymosis in 5 cases (3.1%) which resolved spontaneously in 5 to 7 days and headache occurred in 2 cases (1.3%) which disappeared in 2-3 days with proper rest. (2) The complication related to the toxin effect mainly was the decrease of masticatory power in 86 cases (53.8%), which gradually recovered with the drug metabolism for 3-12 weeks. (3) Dose-related complications include facial ptosis in 4 cases (2.5%) with 30-40 U dose per side. 2 cases without special treatment, gradually recovered in about 8-12 weeks. One patient underwent the BTA injection to raise the mandibular margin and gradually recovered about 2 weeks later. One patient recovered gradually with the treatment by Thermage in another hospital. There were 9 cases (5.6%) of paradoxical rigid masseter muscle bulge. 5 cases resolved within 1 week after supplementary injection of 4 U botulinum toxin, and the other 4 cases resolved spontaneously within 1 to 2 weeks without special treatment. (4) Complications related to the injection site include abnormal smiles in 3 cases (1.9%). Patients were instructed to practice the smile correctly and gradually recovered in 4-12 weeks. Twenty-one patients (13.1%) had sunken cheeks. One patient improved by injection of hyaluronic acid, and the other patients recovered gradually within 8-12 weeks without special treatment.Conclusion:The incidence of complications after BTA injection for MMH is high, and the manifestations are diverse. The injection should be performed in the recommended safe area of the masseter muscle. A reasonable dose and depth of injection can reduce the occurrence of complications.
