ObjectiveTo observe ovarian microvascular damage in rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome and to explore the mechanism by which Liangfang Wenjing decoction improves this condition in rats. MethodsFifty SPF female SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, low-dose (8.1 g·kg-1) and high-dose groups (16.2 g·kg-1) of Liangfang Wenjing decoction, and a 4-phenylbutyric acid (0.1 g·kg-1) group, with 10 rats in each group. The ice-water bath method was employed to establish the rat model of cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome. Concurrent with modeling, Liangfang Wenjing decoction was administered continuously for 21 days, once daily. The rats' syndrome manifestations and estrous cycles were recorded. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect serum reproductive hormone levels and levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO), thrombomodulin (TM), and von Willebrand factor (vWF) in ovarian tissue. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen (FIB) were measured. The ovarian microcirculatory blood perfusion was detected by laser speckle contrast imaging. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe the ovarian histopathology, flow cytometry to detect ovarian apoptosis rate, and transmission electron microscopy to observe the ultrastructure of ovarian microvascular endothelial cells. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), phosphorylated eNOS (p-eNOS), Caspase-3, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), inositol-requiring enzyme1α (IRE1α), p-IRE1α, apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1), p-ASK1, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p-JNK. Immunofluorescence was used to detect ovarian Bax and Bcl-2 expression in microvascular endothelial cells. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the model group showed signs of cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome, prolonged estrus cycles, and reproductive hormone disorders. Histopathological results revealed a decrease in follicle counts at all stages and disorganized granulosa cell arrangement. Ovarian microcirculatory perfusion was significantly decreased (P<0.01). PT, APTT, and TT were reduced (P<0.05, P<0.01), while FIB levels were increased (P<0.05). In ovarian tissue, NO content was decreased, while ET-1, vWF, and TM levels were increased significantly (P<0.01). The apoptosis rate of ovarian cells was markedly increased (P<0.01). Furthermore, p-eNOS/eNOS and Bcl-2 were decreased (P<0.05), whereas Bax, cleaved-Caspase-3/Caspase-3, GRP78, CHOP, p-IRE1α/IRE1α, p-ASK1/ASK1, and p-JNK/JNK expression showed significant increases (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Liangfang Wenjing decoction intervention alleviated the symptoms of cold coagulation and blood stasis, gradually restored the estrus cycle, and improved ovarian histopathology and endothelial cell ultrastructure. Microcirculatory blood perfusion was significantly elevated (P<0.05). NO content in ovarian tissue was elevated, while ET-1, vWF, and TM levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The p-eNOS/eNOS ratio and Bcl-2 expression were significantly elevated (P<0.05), while the expression of Bax, cleaved-Caspase-3/Caspase-3, GRP78, CHOP, p-IRE1α/IRE1α, p-ASK1/ASK1, and p-JNK/JNK was significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionLiangfang Wenjing decoction may regulate the IRE1α/ASK1/JNK signaling pathway to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress, attenuate apoptosis, and improve microvascular endothelial injury in ovaries of rats with cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome.

Objective:To study the clinical application and complications of umbilical arterial catheterization (UAC) in premature infants.Methods:From January 2021 to December 2022, premature infants with UAC successfully inserted in NICU of our hospital were enrolled. According to birth weight (BW), the infants were assigned into three groups: <1 000 g, 1 000~1 499 g and ≥1 500 g. The perinatal data, UAC usage, UAC-related complications and risk factors of UAC-related complications were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 39 premature infants received UAC, with gestational age 29.3(27.3, 30.4) weeks and BW 1 100 (900, 1 310) g. The insertion length (IL) of UAC was calculated using the average value of two formulas: a, IL (cm) =4×BW (kg) +7; and b, IL(cm) =3×BW (kg)+9. The accuracy of tube end position was determined using chest/abdomen radiography. 30(76.9%) cases had accurate position, 6(15.4%) had higher position and 3(7.7%) had lower position. The proportion of appropriately positioned tube end in <1 000 g, 1 000~1 499 g and ≥1 500 g groups were 80.0%, 76.5% and 71.4%, respectively, without statistically significant differences ( P>0.05) .No significant differences existed among the three groups in UAC duration and UAC routinely removal rate ( P>0.05). 9 cases (23.1%) of UAC were removed for specific reasons, including 4 cases of arterial spasm, 2 cases of withdrawal of treatment, 1 case of tube end displacement, 1 case of abdominal distension and 1 case of death. 21 cases received 1 U/ml heparin (0.9%NaCl solution) 0.5~1 ml/h arterial infusion. 23.8% (5/21) had hypernatremia and the level of sodium became normal after reducing the concentration of NaCl solution. Arterial vasospasm occurred in 4 patients with skin color changes of one side of the lower extremities. After UAC removal, the skin color returned to normal. Conclusions:UAC is helpful and safe for preterm infants, however, its complications should be alerted to.

Objective:To recognize the overall situation of the core competency of medical professional postgraduate, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the training process, and provide basis for better optimization and revision of training objectives and training plans.Methods:An anonymous online questionnaire was conducted among 264 postgraduates majoring in clinical medicine to recognize the cognition and self-evaluation of core competence, and analyze the differences in scores of different grades and types. SPSS 23.0 was used for independent-samples t test; and one-way analysis of variance to analyze categorical variables. Results:The doctoral degree students' core competency results were higher than those of master degree students, and those of the senior students were higher than junior students ( P<0.05). "System Improvement Ability" [master degree students (2.94±1.07), first-year students (2.82±0.97)], "Patient Management" [(first-year students (2.77±1.22)], "Academic Research" [first-year students (2.90±1.03)], and 4 other indicators were the weakness of students (all less than 3 scores). Conclusion:The students have a good sense of professional identity for doctors. The different depth of the clinical practice education is the possible cause which brings about the differences among students with different degrees. We should focus on strengthening the training for the "shortcomings" in the core competence of students.

Objective:To construct and validate a prediction model for the risk of intermediate cesarean delivery for primiparous women with failed vaginal trial of labor.Methods:Clinical data of 6 128 pregnant women who gave birth in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from January 2019 to December 2020 were collected. The puerpera was randomly divided into train set ( n=4 290) and validation set ( n=1 838). The factors influencing the conversion to cesarean section in primiparous women with failed vaginal trial of labor were analyzed with univariate and binary multivariate logistic regression, and a risk prediction model was established based on the influencing factors. The predictive power of the model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test in train set and validation set. Results:Among 6 128 pregnant women 1 042 cases failed in vaginal trial of labor and were transferred to cesarean section. Univariate analysis showed age, occupation, gestational weight gain, days of gestation, body temperature before delivery, fetal heart condition at delivery, fetal abdominal circumference, Bishop score, premature rupture of membranes, gestational illness, mode of induction of labor, labor analgesia, and fetal orientation were significantly associated with converting to cesarean delivery (all P<0.05). The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the age, gestational weight gain, body temperature, gestational co-morbidities, days of gestation, premature rupture of membranes, amniotic fluid contamination, induction of labor, and abnormal occipital position were independent risk factors for intermediate cesarean delivery ( OR=1.03-8.06, all P<0.05); while height, occupation, Bishop score, and labor analgesia were protective factors for intermediate cesarean delivery ( OR=0.17-0.96, all P<0.05). A risk prediction model was constructed based on the risk factors and protective factors. In train set, the area under the ROC curve(AUC) of the model was 0.902 (95% CI: 0.89-0.92, P<0.001), with the best cutoff value of 0.138, the sensitivity and specificity were 0.837 and 0.825, respectively; and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed P=0.192. In validation set the AUC of the model was 0.917 (95% CI: 0.90-0.93, P<0.001), and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.826 and 0.851, respectively; the total correct rate of the model was 87.21% (1 603/1 838). Conclusion:The risk prediction model of failed vaginal trial of labor in primiparous women for intermediate cesarean delivery constructed in this study has good clinical prediction efficacy and high correctness rate.

In the post-genomic era, gene function analysis has attracted much attention. Transformation is often needed to investigate gene function. In this study, an easy, rapid, reliable, and cost-effective colony polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for screening mushroom transformants was developed: picking up a suitable amount of transformant's tissue (1–10 μg) to 20 μl 0.25% Lywallzyme solution, and vortexing for 10 s followed by incubation at 34 °C for 15 min. Finally, 2 μl of the suspension was used as templates to perform PCR and single target bands were successfully amplified from respective transformants of Tremella fuciformis, Pleurotus ostreatus, and Pleurotus tuber-regium. This procedure could be widely employed for screening transformants in mushroom transformation experiments.
