Background: Over the years, the mechanical ventilation (MV) strategy has changed worldwide. The aim of the present study was to describe the ventilation practices, particularly lung-protective ventilation (LPV), among brain-injured patients in China.
Methods: This study was a multicenter, 1-day, cross-sectional study in 47 Intensive Care Units (ICUs) across China.
Stathmin 1 (STMN1) is a biomarker in several types of neoplasms. It plays an important role in cell cycle progression, mitosis, signal transduction and cell migration. In ovaries, STMN1 is predominantly expressed in granulosa cells (GCs).

Methods: The patient data were acquired from 306 women with PCOS by Rotterdam consensus criteria and 286 women selected as controls. Basal endocrine, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin release test, lipid profile, blood pressure and body mass index (BMI) were tested.

Objective: To study the clinical outcomes of assistant treatment proposals for infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Methods: PCOS patients were divided into four groups according to the assistant treatment proposals between Jan 2003 and Dec 2007 in Reproductive Medicine Center of the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University. The four proposals were letrozole (LE) or clomiphene (CC) citrate ovulation induction group, in vitro fertilization and embryo transplantation group, ultrasound-guided immature follicle puncture group, and in vitro maturation and fertilization of oocytes from unstimulated cycles group.

Objective: To study effect of drug treatment in polycystic ovary syndrome patients with hyperprolactinemia.
Methods: We retrospectively studied 63 women with polycystic ovary syndrome and hyperprolactinemia from the Reproductive Medicine Center, Provincial Hospital between January 2005 and March 2007. According to the beginning time of bromocriptine, all women were divided into two groups.
Objective: To determine a suitable standard of hirsutism for Chinese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients living in Shandong region.
Methods: A total of 623 unbiased women from the general population in Jinan city, 131 PCOS patients and 84 controls from outpatients in Shandong region were studied with questionnaires, physical and pelvic ultrasound examination, body hair on 11 sites were evaluated, and 9 (lip, chin, arm, thigh, chest, upperbelly, lowerbelly, upperback, lowback) of them which were called hormone Ferriman-Gallwey (F-G) score and 2 (forearm, leg) sites of indifferent hormone score were calculated according to the score system described by Ferriman and Gallwey.
Results: (1) Both body hair F-G score and indifferent hormone score distribution mode in the
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the link between PAI-1 gene polymorphisms (4G and 5G types) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) among Chinese women.
- In a sample of 101 PCOS patients and 42 controls, researchers found that the 4G type was significantly more common in PCOS patients compared to controls, particularly in the non-obese subgroup.
- The findings suggest that the 4G genotype of the PAI-1 gene may be associated with PCOS, especially in non-obese patients and those experiencing spontaneous miscarriages.
