Objective:To observe the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on ubiquitin-like containing PHD and RING finger domains 1(UHRF1)and DNA methyltransferase 1(DNMT1)in ectopic endometrium of rats with endometriosis(EMS). Methods:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group with 10 rats and a model-building group with 30 rats according to body mass.EMS rat models were established in the model-building group and then were divided into a model group,an acupuncture and moxibustion group,and a progesterone group,with 10 rats in each group.All rats were fixed by a fixator.The sham operation group and the model group were given normal saline by gavage.The acupuncture and moxibustion group received acupuncture at Xuehai(SP10)and Sanyinjiao(SP6),moxibustion at Guanyuan(CV4),and gavage of normal saline.The progesterone group was given the mixed liquid made of dydrogesterone and normal saline by gavage.After 28 d of treatments,the three diameters(length,width,and height)of EMS rats'ectopic cysts were measured,the cyst volumes were calculated,the volumes before intervention were subtracted,and the difference values were used to evaluate the growth of ectopic cysts.UHRF1 and DNMT1 mRNA and protein levels in normal endometrium,eutopic endometrium,and ectopic endometrium were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Results:There was no significant difference in the ectopic cyst volume difference between the acupuncture and moxibustion group and the progesterone group(P>0.05),but they were smaller than that of the model group(P<0.05).The levels of UHRF1 and DNMT1 mRNA and protein in the ectopic endometrium of the model group were lower than those in the normal endometrium(P<0.05).The levels of DNMT1 mRNA and UHRF1 protein in the eutopic endometrium of the model group were lower than those in the normal endometrium(P<0.05).The levels of UHRF1 mRNA and protein and the level of DNMT1 protein in the ectopic endometrium of the acupuncture and moxibustion group were higher than those in the model group(P<0.05),and the level of UHRF1 mRNA was higher than that in the progesterone group(P<0.05).The level of DNMT1 mRNA in the eutopic endometrium of the acupuncture and moxibustion group was higher than that in the model group(P<0.05).The levels of UHRF1 and DNMT1 mRNA and protein in the acupuncture and moxibustion group were insignificantly different from those in the normal endometrium(P>0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture and moxibustion may up-regulate the levels of UHRF1 mRNA and UHRF1 and DNMT1 proteins in the ectopic endometrium to the normal level so as to reduce the volume of ectopic cysts and cure EMS in rats.

The pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy(DN)is very complex.Ferroptosis as a kind of new way of cell death has become a research hotspot in recent years.It is widely known that DN is closely related to ferroptosis.Deactivation of system Xc--GSH-GPX4 axis,iron overload,lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial dysfunction play important role in occurrence and development of ferroptosis of DN,antioxidant protein may be a potential target for the treatment of ferroptosis of DN.Different pathways and interactions may alleviate the occurrence and development of ferroptosis by activating antioxidant protein such as GPX4,Nrf2,Sirtuin family protein and ferritin.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has the characteristics of multi-component,multi-target and multi-pathway overall regulation.The active components and compounds of TCM have potential application value in improving renal injury and ferroptosis of DN by enhancing the expression of antioxidant protein,which provides a new research direction for delaying the progress of DN.

Objective To analyze blood lipid levels in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)and further explore the factors associated with abnormal blood lipids.Methods Eighty-eight newly diagnosed MDS patients were selected as the study group,and 100 healthy subjects were selected as the control group.Fasting blood lipid levels,triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),apolipoprotein A1(ApoA1)and ApoB were detected before treatment in the study group and the control group.The differences of serum lipid levels in MDS patients with different WHO-MDS classification,modified International Prognostic Score System(IPSS-R)karyotype,risk stratification and TP53 mutation were investigated.The correlation between ApoA1 level and clinical indicators of MDS patients was analyzed,and clinical indicators of different ApoA1 level groups were compared.Results The levels of TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoA1 and ApoB were significantly lower in the study group than those in the control group(P＜0.01).There were no significant differences in TG,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C,ApoA1 and ApoB levels between different subgroups.The ApoA1 level was lower in the IPSS-R high-risk stratification group than that of the IPSS-R low-risk stratification group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in lipid levels between the different karyotype groups.The level of ApoA1 was lower in the TP53 mutant group than that in the non-TP53 mutant group(P＜0.05).Correlation analysis showed that ApoA1 level was positively correlated with body mass index(BMI,P＜0.05),and negatively correlated with patient age,percentage of bone marrow original cells,IPSS-R karyotype grouping,IPSS-R risk grouping and TP53 gene mutation(P＜0.05).The BMI level was lower in the low ApoA1 group than that of the high ApoA1 group(P＜0.05).The percentage of bone marrow original cells and TP53 gene mutation rate of MDS patients were higher in the low ApoA1 group than those in the high ApoA1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The plasma lipid level in MDS patients is significantly lower than that of healthy controls,and levels of ApoA1 varied significantly in different disease states,which may be associated with TP53 gene mutation.

Background::The goal of the assisted reproductive treatment is to transfer one euploid blastocyst and to help infertile women giving birth one healthy neonate. Some algorithms have been used to assess the ploidy status of embryos derived from couples with normal chromosome, who subjected to preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) treatment. However, it is currently unknown whether artificial intelligence model can be used to assess the euploidy status of blastocyst derived from populations with chromosomal rearrangement.Methods::From February 2020 to May 2021, we collected the whole raw time-lapse videos at multiple focal planes from in vitro cultured embryos, the clinical information of couples, and the comprehensive chromosome screening results of those blastocysts that had received PGT treatment. Initially, we developed a novel deep learning model called the Attentive Multi-Focus Selection Network (AMSNet) to analyze time-lapse videos in real time and predict blastocyst formation. Building upon AMSNet, we integrated additional clinically predictive variables and created a second deep learning model, the Attentive Multi-Focus Video and Clinical Information Fusion Network (AMCFNet), to assess the euploidy status of embryos. The efficacy of the AMCFNet was further tested in embryos with parental chromosomal rearrangements. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the superiority of the model. Results::A total of 4112 embryos with complete time-lapse videos were enrolled for the blastocyst formation prediction task, and 1422 qualified blastocysts received PGT-A ( n = 589) or PGT for chromosomal structural rearrangement (PGT-SR, n = 833) were enrolled for the euploidy assessment task in this study. The AMSNet model using seven focal raw time-lapse videos has the best real-time accuracy. The real-time accuracy for AMSNet to predict blastocyst formation reached above 70% on the day 2 of embryo culture, and then increased to 80% on the day 4 of embryo culture. Combing with 4 clinical features of couples, the AUC of AMCFNet with 7 focal points increased to 0.729 in blastocysts derived from couples with chromosomal rearrangement. Conclusion::Integrating seven focal raw time-lapse images of embryos and parental clinical information, AMCFNet model have the capability of assessing euploidy status in blastocysts derived from couples with chromosomal rearrangement.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics,pathogen distribution and drug sensitivity of otomycosis in Hangzhou,in order to provide assistance for standardized treatment of otomycosis. METHODS A total of 115 cases of otomycosis with intact tympanic membranes,treated at our hospital from December 2022 to February 2024,were included in the study. Ear secretions were cultured,and pathogens were identified through morphological examination and mass spectrometry detection. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using a fungal susceptibility plate. All patients underwent ear canal cleaning under otoendoscopy combined with local drug perfusion. RESULTS The predominant pathogen in this region was Aspergillus terreus(60.8％). The susceptibility results showed that Aspergillus terreus is sensitive to posaconazole,voriconazole and itraconazole,and exhibits varying degrees of resistance to the other six drugs. The total effective rate of treatment in the 115 included patients reached 93％. CONCLUSION The main pathogen of otomycosis in this area is Aspergillus terreus,which is sensitive to triazole antifungal agents such as posaconazole,voriconazole,and itraconazole,which can be considered as the first choice for clinical treatment.
