    Abstract The purpose of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of 3 ovulation induction therapies for treating infertility in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In this retrospective study, we compared the success rates of 90 patients who underwent intrauterine insemination, who were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups: letrozole (LE) + urinary gonadotropin (human menopausal gonadotropin [HMG]), clomiphene (CC) + HMG, or HMG alone. Using ultrasound scanning, we examined the number of mature follicles, ovulation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, endometrial thickness, and blood flow. When compared to the other 2 groups, the LE + HMG group had significantly higher levels of mature follicles, ovulation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, estradiol, and luteinizing hormone on the day of the human chorionic gonadotropin injection and endometrial receptivity (P < .05). There was no statistically significant difference between the 3 groups in terms of abortion rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, or adverse reactions. In this research, we found that infertility in patients with PCOS could be effectively treated by combining LE with HMG. This protocol increased ovulation, boosted fertility, and enhanced endometrial receptivity with no increase in adverse reactions. Therefore, it may be a useful clinical approach for inducing ovulation and treating infertility in patients with PCOS.

    Abstract Mercury sulfide (HgS) exerts extensive biological effects on neuronal function. To investigate the direct target of HgS in neuronal cells, we developed a biotin-tagged HgS probe (bio-HgS) and employed an affinity purification technique to capture its target proteins. Then, we identified S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 (Skp1) as a potential target of HgS. Unexpectedly, we discovered that HgS covalently binds to Skp1 through a "Cys62-HgS-Cys120" mode. Moreover, our findings revealed that HgS inhibits the ubiquitin-protease system through Skp1 to up-regulate SNAP-25 expression, thereby triggering synaptic vesicle exocytosis to regulate locomotion ability in

    Abstract Background: The conventional approach for managing ureteral stenosis involves the placement of a double-J stent. In recent years, the utilisation of Allium ureteral stent (URS) has emerged as a novel treatment alternative for ureteral stenosis. Allium URS has several advantages over traditional stents, including an extended indwelling time and reduced incidence of complications. The number of cases reported worldwide on the use of Allium URS in the treatment of ureteral stenosis is currently limited. In this paper, we present the details of a case involving the use of an Allium URS to treat ileal-ureteral anastomotic stenosis in a 67-year-old patient. We aim to assess the feasibility of using Allium URS in such cases.
    Case presentation: A 67-year-old Chinese woman was referred to our hospital for the treatment of left lumbago. Urography showed left ileal-ureteral anastomotic stenosis. Computed tomography (CT) revealed severe hydronephrosis in the left kidney. Subsequently, an Allium URS was implanted via ureteroscopy. We found no instances of haematuria, lumbago or urinary tract irritation during the follow-up period. After 8 months, the patient was readmitted because of left lumbago. CT re-examination revealed that the left hydronephrosis had modestly improved. The Allium URS had detached and showed stone formation on its surface. For further treatment, ureteroscopy was performed and a new Allium URS was implanted. At 3-month follow-up, CT re-examination demonstrated that the stent had dislodged again but that the hydronephrosis in the left kidney had remarkably improved. Cystoscopy revealed that the stent had completely detached and that wall stones had attached on this surface. The stent was removed via cystoscopy. After 1 month, CT scanning showed that the left hydronephrosis of the patient had almost disappeared.
    Conclusion: Allium URS is effective in the treatment of hydronephrosis caused by ileal-ureteral anastomotic stenosis. Although complications, such as haematuria, lumbago and urinary tract irritation, are rare, complications, such as stent displacement and stone formation, may occur. Hence, caution must be exercised when considering the use of Allium URSs in the treatment of patients with ileal-ureteral anastomotic stenosis.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of microsoft-based medication guidance on the level of symptoms and serological indicators in children receiving budesonide nebulisation combined with terbutaline for the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumoniae (MPP).
    Methods: A total of 109 children with MPP treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University of China between October 2022 and April 2023 were divided into the conventional group (n=54, with medication guidance by telephone follow-up) and the WeChat group (n=55, with medication guidance based on the WeChat platform) using a randomized number table. The time to resolution of symptoms, serological index levels, incidence of adverse drug events, medication adherence scores and satisfaction rate of family guidance were compared between the two groups.
    Results: The disappearance time of symptoms such as wheezing and cough in the WeChat group was shorter than that in the conventional group (P < .05). After treatment, the C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and calcitoninogen (PCT) levels and the incidence of adverse drug events were lower in the WeChat group than in the conventional group (P < .05). After treatment, the levels of forceful spirometry (FVC), 1st-second expiratory volume (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), medication compliance score and family guidance satisfaction rate were higher in the WeChat group than in the conventional group (P < .05).
    Conclusion: WeChat-based medication guidance can optimize the therapeutic effect of MPP, improve children's medication compliance and satisfaction rate of family guidance, and reduce the occurrence of adverse drug events.

    Abstract Neuroinflammation is initiated in response to a variety of endogenous and exogenous sources. As the resident macrophages of the central nervous system, the polarization of microglia into either the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype or the M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype holds great promise as a therapeutic strategy for neuroinflammation. Natural products, comprising a vital chemical library with distinctive structures and diverse functions, have been extensively employed to modulate microglial polarization for the treatment of neuroinflammation. In this review, we present up-to-date and extensive insights into the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of natural products in the context of neuroinflammation. Furthermore, the review aims to present a new perspective by focusing on the targets of natural compounds, elucidating the molecular mechanisms and guiding the transition from natural-derived lead compounds to potential anti-neuroinflammatory drugs. Additionally, we provide a comprehensive overview of the challenges and limitations associated with the utilization of natural products for neuroinflammation therapy.

    Abstract Background: Theta burst TUS (tbTUS) can induce increased cortical excitability in human, but how different sonication parameters influence the effects are still unknown.
    Objective: To examine how a range of sonication parameters, including acoustic intensity, pulse repetition frequency, duty cycle and sonication duration, influence the effects of tbTUS on human motor cortical excitability.
    Methods: 14 right-handed healthy subjects underwent 8 sessions with different tbTUS parameters in a randomized, cross-over design on separate days. The original tbTUS protocol was studied in one session and one parameter was changed in each of the seven sessions. To examine changes in cortical excitability induced by tbTUS, we measured the motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude, resting motor threshold, short-interval intracortical inhibition and intracortical facilitation, as well as short-interval intracortical facilitation before and up to 90 min after tbTUS.
    Results: All conditions increased MEP amplitudes except the condition with low acoustic intensity of 10 W/cm
    Conclusions: Ultrasound bursts repeated at theta (∼5 Hz) frequency is optimal to produce increased cortical excitability with the range of 2-10 Hz. Furthermore, there was a dose-response effect regarding duty cycle and sonication duration in tbTUS for plasticity induction. The aftereffects of tbTUS were associated with a shift of the inhibition/excitation balance toward less inhibition and more excitation in the motor cortex. These findings can be used to determine the optimal tbTUS parameters in neuroscience research and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

    Abstract Highly aggressive individuals tend to interpret others' motives and intentions as hostile in both offline and online social situations. The current study examined whether hostile interpretation bias can be modified to influence cyber-aggression in Chinese middle school students using an interpretation bias modification program. Gender differences and the heterogeneity of cyber-aggression were also investigated since previous studies suggest that they play important roles in determining the intervention effect. One hundred and twenty-one middle school students were randomized to receive either an eight-session interpretation bias modification task (CBM-I;

    Abstract Graphite phased carbon nitride and indium silver molybdate [g-C3N4 / AgIn(MoO4)2]photocatalytic materials were prepared by hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray photoelectric spectrum, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectrum and solid fluorescence were used to analyze its structure and morphology. The results showed that the catalytic activity of g-C3N4 / AgIn(MoO4)2 was significantly higher than that of pure g-C3N4 and AgIn(MoO4)2 under visible light irradiation. Under the conditions of g-C3N4 and AgIn(MoO4)2 with a compound ratio of 2:1 and hydrothermal reaction at 120℃ for 6 hours, the degradation efficiency of tetracycline hydrochloride was the best. After 1 hour of light reaction, the degradation rate of tetracycline hydrochloride could reach 75.3%. g-C3N4/AgIn(MoO4)2 is expected to be a promising photocatalyst for wastewater treatment.

    Abstract This research aims to realize the rapid detection of ClO2 content in drinking water by adopting improved solid DPD. This method is fast and convenient with low cost and less waste liquid. The results show that this method has good precision and sensitivity. The linear correlation coefficients of the cubic regression equation were all greater than 0.999. The detection limit of the method was 0.002mg/L ClO2. The relative standard deviations (RSD) of seven parallel tests were between 1.37% and 8.87%, and the relative errors were small. The recovery rate was 96.67~110%. The method could be used for the direct determination of water samples with a mass concentration of 0.02mg/L~2.00mg/L in drinking water after ClO2 disinfection.
