Abstract
BACKGROUND Follicle dysplasia can cause polycystic ovary syndrome, which can lead to anovulatory infertility. This study explored gene(s) that may contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS Three animal models of polycystic ovary syndrome were created by treating 3-week-old rats respectively with estradiol valerate, testosterone propionate, or constant illumination for 8 weeks. Granulosa cells from the three disease groups and from healthy controls were transcriptionally profiled to identify differentially expressed genes. The phosphodiesterase-4d (Pde4d) was screened as the most promising candidate pathogenic gene. The Pde4d was overexpressed in rats via intrabursal infection with recombinant lentivirus to see the effect of Pde4d on ovarian morphology. The potential roles of the candidate gene and interactors of the encoded protein were explored using polymerase chain reaction, western blotting, transfection and co-immunoprecipitation. RESULTS All three rat models of polycystic ovary syndrome showed polycystic ovary phenotype. Seven promising candidate genes were obtained by transcriptomics and verifications. Pde4d was further investigated because it could trigger downstream signaling pathways. The Pde4d overexpression in rat ovary induced cystic follicles. It inhibited follicle maturation through a mechanism involving inhibition of cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling. The Pde4d also inhibited phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase to reduce apoptosis in the ovary, through a mechanism involving interaction of its poly-proline domain with the protein POSH. CONCLUSION Upregulation of Pde4d may contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome by impeding follicle maturation and preventing apoptotic atresia.

Abstract
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is involved in mammalian reproduction via binding to FSH receptor (FSHR). However, several studies have found that FSH and FSHR play important roles in extragonadal tissue. Here, we identified the expression of FSHR in human and mouse pancreatic islet β-cells. Blocking FSH signaling by Fshr knock-out led to impaired glucose tolerance owing to decreased insulin secretion, while high FSH levels caused insufficient insulin secretion as well. In vitro, we found that FSH orchestrated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in a bell curve manner. Mechanistically, FSH primarily activates Gαs via FSHR, promoting the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) and calcium pathways to stimulate GSIS, whereas high FSH levels could activate Gαi to inhibit the cAMP/PKA pathway and the amplified effect on GSIS. Our results reveal the role of FSH in regulating pancreatic islet insulin secretion and provide avenues for future clinical investigation and therapeutic strategies for postmenopausal diabetes.

Abstract
The prevalence of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing rapidly. In addition to the metabolic disease risks, GDM might increase the risks of cryptorchidism in children. However, its mechanism involved in abnormalities of the male reproductive system is still unclear. The purpose of this study was to study the effects of GDM on the development of mouse fetal Leydig and Sertoli cells. Pregnant mice were treated on gestational day (GD) 6.5 and 12.5 with streptozotocin (STZ, 100 mg/kg) or vehicle (sodium citrate buffer). Leydig and Sertoli cell development and functions were evaluated by investigating serum testosterone levels, cell number and distribution, genes, and protein expression. GDM decreased serum testosterone levels, the anogenital distance, and the level of DHH in Sertoli cells of testes of male offspring. Fetal Leydig cell number was also decreased in testes of GDM offspring by delaying the commitment of stem Leydig cells into the Leydig cell lineage. RNA-seq showed that FOXL2, RSPO1/β-Catenin signaling was activated and Gsk3β signaling was inhibited in GDM offspring testis. In conclusion, GDM disrupted reproductive tract and testis development in mouse male offspring via altering genes related to development.

Abstract
Over the past four decades, the global prevalence of obesity has increased rapidly in all age ranges. Emerging evidence suggests that paternal lifestyle and environmental exposure have a crucial role in the health of offspring. Therefore, the current study investigated the impact of paternal obesity on the metabolic profile of offspring in a male mouse model of obesity. Female offspring of obese fathers fed a high-fat diet (HFD) (60% kcal fat) showed hyperglycemia because of enhanced gluconeogenesis and elevated expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), which is a key enzyme involved in the regulation of gluconeogenesis. Methylation of the Igf2/H19 imprinting control region (ICR) was dysregulated in the liver of offspring, and the sperm, of HFD fathers, suggesting that epigenetic changes in germ cells contribute to this father-offspring transmission. In addition, we explored whether H19 might regulate hepatic gluconeogenesis. Our results showed that overexpression of H19 in Hepa1-6 cells enhanced the expression of PEPCK and gluconeogenesis by promoting nuclear retention of forkhead box O1 (FOXO1), which is involved in the transcriptional regulation of Pepck. Thus, the current study suggests that paternal exposure to HFD impairs the gluconeogenesis of offspring via altered Igf2/H19 DNA methylation.

Abstract
Air pollution events frequently occur in China during the winter. Most investigations of pollution studies have focused on the physical and chemical properties of PM2.5. Many of these studies have indicated that PM2.5 exacerbates asthma or eosinophil inflammation. However, few studies have evaluated the relationship between bacterial loads in PM2.5, and especially pathogenic bacteria and childhood asthma. Airborne PM2.5 samples from heavily polluted air were collected in Hangzhou, China between December 2014 and January 2015. PM2.5 and ovalbumin (OVA) were intratracheally administered twice in 4-week intervals to induce the allergic pulmonary inflammation in adolescent C57/BL6 mice. PM2.5 exposure caused neutrophilic alveolitis and bronchitis. In the presence of OVA, the levels of the Th2 cytokines IL-4, IL-12, and IL-17 were significantly increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) after PM2.5 exposure, while eosinophil infiltration and mucin secretion were also induced. In addition to adjuvant effects on OVA-induced allergic inflammation, PM2.5 exposure also led to the maturation of dendritic cells. These results suggest that PM2.5 exposure may aggravate lung eosinophilia and that PM2.5-bound microbial can exacerbate allergic and inflammatory lung diseases.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Fluoroquinolone-induced immune-mediated thrombocytopenia is uncommon, and no reports of cross-reactivity among fluoroquinolones exist. Here, we describe a case of ciprofloxacin-induced immune thrombocytopenia with no cross-reactivity with gemifloxacin. CASE DESCRIPTION A 77-year-old woman showed profound thrombocytopenia immediately after two ciprofloxacin injections for pneumonia. Platelet counts recovered rapidly after ciprofloxacin discontinuation. She had experienced thrombocytopenia after ciprofloxacin administration 4 years earlier, which was assumed to be ciprofloxacin-induced immune-related. Interestingly, no thrombocytopenia occurred following the subsequent exposure to another fluoroquinolone, gemifloxacin. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION No cross-reactivity occurred between ciprofloxacin and gemifloxacin in this fluoroquinolone-induced immune thrombocytopenia case.

Abstract
In the present study, we compared the systemic exposure of scutellarin following intraportal with intravenous administration to understand the contribution of presystemic hepatic elimination to the low oral bioavailability. Results showed that the hepatic first-pass elimination of scutellarin played an insignificant role in the presystemic elimination of orally administered scutellarin. Moreover, our results suggested that the site of first pass extraction was not the liver, but the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) sample preparation of ZnSe/GaAs epitaxial films is investigated. Conventional argon ion milling is shown to produce a high density (approximately 5-8 x 10(11)/cm2) of small (diameter approximately 60-80 A) extended defects (stacking faults, microtwins, double positioning twins, etc.). In addition, transmission electron diffraction results indicate a thin ZnO layer can also occasionally form upon ion milling or electron-beam irradiation although the exact conditions for ZnO formation are not well understood. Conventional TEM (amplitude contrast) and high-resolution TEM (phase contrast) imaging in combination with transmission electron diffraction studies were performed to determine the optimum method of removing the ion milling related damage and ZnO layers during sample preparation. HF/HCl, NaOH/H2O, H2SO4/H2O2/H2O and Br2/CH3OH etching mixtures as well as low voltage argon or iodine ion milling were studied. A low energy (2 keV) iodine or argon ion milling step was shown to remove the ZnO layer and reduced the density of the extended defects associated with Ar+ ion milling, but was unsuccessful in removing all of the defects. Auger electron spectroscopy results indicate residual iodine was either left on the surface or implanted beneath the surface during iodine ion milling. Etching the XTEM samples in HF/HCl was shown to be effective in removing the ZnO layer but had little or no effect on the ion milling induced defects. Etching the samples in a 0.5% Br2/CH3OH solution resulted in complete elimination of the ion milling induced extended defects including the residual defects associated with iodine ion milling. In addition the Br2/CH3OH etch produced the best surface morphology. Thus a brief (1-2 seconds) Br2/CH3OH etch after conventional preparation (argon ion milling) of cross-sectional ZnSe/GaAs TEM samples appears to be an inexpensive and superior alternative to iodine ion milling.
