Objective: To investigate the different types of obesity, insulin resistance (IR) and its related adipocytokines, and to analyze the association of adipocytokines with obesity and insulin resistance in Korean-Chinese and Han nationality pupils of Yanbian area.
Methods: A total of 3879 elementary school students (2011 of Korean-Chinese and 1868 of Han nationality) aged 8-12 years old were selected. Using epidemiological investigation. Combined with laboratory measurement, the body mess index ( BMI), waist circumference (WC) and fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin, adiponectin, leptin and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels were measured. The homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) method was used to estimate the human IR (HOMA-IR).
Results: (1) The levels of adiponctin and TNF-α in Korean-Chinese pupils was lower than that in Han nationality pupils (P < 0.01), and the levels of leptin, HOMA-IR, WC and BMI in Korean-Chinese pupils were higher than that in Han nationality pupils (P < 0.01). (2) BMI, WC and HOMA-IR was negatively related with adiponectin (r = -0.178, -0.172 and -0.137, P < 0.001), and that were positively related with leptin (r = 0.572, 0.535 and 0.265, P < 0.001) and TNF-α (r = 0.110, 0.119 and 0.691, P < 0.001). There were nationality differences in the correlation of BMI, WC ard HOMA-IR in the different adipocytokines. (3) The multivariate regression analysis showed that there was a significant linear regression between BMI, WG and HOMA--IR and adiponectin (Beta = -0.022, -0.019 and -0.042), leptin (Beta = 0.154, 0.069 and 0.039) and TNF-α ( Beta = -0.082, 0.018 and 0.654), there were different association of BMI, WC and HOMA-IR in the different adipocytokines.
Conclusion: There is significant difference for the distribution of obesity, HOMA-IR and its related adipocytokines between two nationality pupils of Yanbian area. BMI, WC and HOMA-IR have different association in the different adipocytokines, and the association of BMI and WC in leptin is stronger than that of HOMA-IR, and that of HOMA-IR in TNF-α and adiponectin is stronger than that of BMI and WC.

Background: The oocyte retrieval is a critical step in assisted reproductive technologies, including in vitro fertilization and fertility preservation. Despite evolving techniques, the optimal aspiration pressure during retrieval remains debatable, with limited in vivo human studies. Existing studies, primarily in vitro and on animals, suggest that inappropriate aspiration pressures can impair oocyte quality.

Background: Our previous study has identified an association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the miR-423 gene with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). The presence of additional RSA-linked SNPs in the miR-423 gene remains unclear.
Methods: We evaluated polymorphisms in the coding region of miR-423 in Han Chinese women with unexplained RSA (URSA).

This study examines the impact of HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) on sexual behavior changes in men who have sex with men (MSM), aiming to assess a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy integrating biomedical and behavioral interventions to maximize PEP service effectiveness. From a Guangzhou MSM cohort, participants without prior PEP experience were included. The exposed group received PEP services during follow-up (June 2019-April 2022), while controls did not.

The integrity of the myelin sheath of the spinal cord (SC) is essential for motor coordination. Seipin is an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein highly expressed in adipose tissue and motor neurons in the SC. It was reported Seipin deficiency induced lipid dysregulation and neurobehavioral deficits, but the underlying mechanism, especially in SC, remains to be elucidated.

Background: A surgical robot with force feedback can guarantee precise and gentle manipulation for endometrial repair, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the manipulation. However, the design of force sensors for surgical robots is challenging due to the limited anatomical space and the requirement for continuous rotation.
Methods: This paper presents a novel force-sensing surgical instrument for endometrial repair, including an inner scraping instrument and an outer force sensing sheath.
