Objective: To explore whether acupuncture combined with clomiphene can reduce the luteinizing hormone-to follicle-stimulating hormone ratio and impact the gut microbiota in patients with obese polycystic ovary syndrome.
Methods: This open-label, randomized, parallel-group controlled trial included 86 women aged 20-40 years with obese polycystic ovary syndrome and 19 healthy controls. Participants were randomly assigned to either an acupuncture combined with clomiphene group or a clomiphene-only group, with a healthy control group for comparison.
Article Synopsis
- Migratory cells, including immune cells and fibroblasts, are important for heart repair during injuries like ischemia-reperfusion (MIRI), but excessive cell accumulation can worsen heart damage.
- Exosomes released during myocardial injury contain miRNAs that regulate cell migration, making it vital to control these migratory cells to protect heart function.
- Through advanced RNA sequencing, the study identified key miRNAs and genes involved in regulating cell movement, potentially offering new targets for therapy and diagnostic markers related to heart injuries.
Background: Currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to remain in the pandemic stage, leading to severe challenges in the global public healthcare system. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods have played an important role in the diagnosis of COVID-19 and the structural evaluation of the affected organs. Reviewing and summarizing the application of MRI has significant clinical implications for COVID-19.

Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase databases, and Chinese databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Technology Journal Database, and Wanfang Database, were searched without language restrictions from inception to December 20, 2021. Only RCTs in which acupuncture had been examined as the sole or adjunctive PCOS-IR treatment were included.
Recurrence or metastasis of HCC:predictors, early detection and experimental antiangiogenic therapy.
World J Gastroenterol
February 2000
AIM:To investigate the predictors for recurrence or metastasis of HCC, and to evaluate the effect of antiangiogenic therapy on the growth of transplantable human HCC in nude mice.METHODS:RT-PCR was used to measure the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in 56 pairs of nontumorous liver and tumor samples. Sixty blood samples from human HCC were examined by nested RT-PCR to find out AFP mRNA.
