Objective: To investigate the associations of the gut microbiota with reproductive system diseases, including female infertility, male infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), primary ovarian failure, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, sexual dysfunction, orchitis, and epididymitis.
Methods: A two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to evaluate the potential causal relationship between the composition of gut microbiota and infertility, along with associated diseases.
Results: Sixteen strong causal associations between gut microbes and reproductive system diseases were identified.
Effects of measurement protocols and repetitions on handgrip strength weakness and asymmetry in patients with cancer.

Background: The use of handgrip strength (HGS) in clinical cancer research is surging. The association between HGS and outcomes in patients with cancer varied across studies, which might be due to the different measurement protocols for HGS. We aimed to answer three questions: (1) Did the use of various protocols for HGS, along with different numbers of repetitions, lead to significant differences in maximum HGS values? (2) If yes, were these differences clinically significant? (3) Did the differences in HGS protocols and repetitions affect the identification of HGS weakness or HGS asymmetry?
Methods: We continuously recruited adult patients with solid tumours.
Objective: To further investigate the risk factors of cubitus varus in humeral condylar fracture after conservative treatment in children through Logistic regression analysis, so as to guide the clinical treatment.
Methods: Children with humeral condylar fracture who were treated by manipulative reduction and plaster fixation in our hospital from March 2008 to December 2014 were studied. The clinical data including age, gender, BMI, time from injury to reduction, direction of displacement, rotation displacement, fixed position, and epiphyseal injury were collected.
