Abstract
AbstractPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects women of childbearing age, resulting in reproductive dysfunction, hyperinsulinemia, and obesity. While several drugs are currently approved for use in these patients, their relative effectiveness remains controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the reproductive efficacy and safety of exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, versus metformin, an insulin sensitizer, in the treatment of patients with PCOS. Nine randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, comprising 785 PCOS patients, of whom 385 received exenatide and 400 received metformin. Compared with metformin, exenatide was significantly more effective in treating these patients, as demonstrated by increased pregnancy rate (relative risk (RR) = 1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28 to 2.92, P = 0.002), greater ovulation rate (RR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.80, P = 0.004), decreased body mass index (mean difference = − 1.72 kg/m2, 95% CI − 2.27 to − 1.18, P = 0.00001), and improved insulin resistance (standard mean difference = − 0.62, 95% CI − 0.91 to − 0.33, P < 0.0001). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse events (gastrointestinal reactions, hypoglycemia, etc.) between the two therapies. However, given the moderate to high quality and possible bias of the included studies, the available evidence is inconclusive. More high-quality studies are needed to assess the effects of exenatide in order to provide stronger evidence for its use in this patient population.

Abstract
Objective: Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was used to predict the incidence of tuberculosis in China from 2018 to 2019, providing references for the prevention and control of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: The monthly incidence data of tuberculosis in China were collected from January 2005 to December 2017. R 3.4.4 software was used to establish the ARIMA model, based on the monthly incidence data of tuberculosis from January 2005 to June 2017. Both predicted and actual data from July to December 2017 were compared to verify the effectiveness of this model, and the number of tuberculosis cases in 2018-2019 also predicted. Results: From 2005 to 2017, a total of 13 022 675 cases of tuberculosis were reported, the number of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in 2017 was 33.68% lower than that in 2005, and the seasonal character was obvious, with the incidence in winter and spring was higher than that in other seasons. According to the incidence data from 2005 to 2017, we established the model of ARIMA (0,1,2)(0,1,0)(12). The relative error between the predicted and actual values of July to December 2017 fitted by the model ranged from 1.67% to 6.80%, and the predicted number of patients in 2018 and 2019 were 789 509 and 760 165 respectively. Conclusion: The ARIMA (0, 1, 2)(0, 1, 0)(12) model well predicted the incidence of tuberculosis, thus can be used for short-term prediction and dynamic analysis of tuberculosis in China, with good application value.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Our previous study has confirmed that a novel curcumin derivate nicotinate-curcumin (NC) can facilitate autophagic flux in THP-1 cells induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein. AIMS Given that autophagy plays critical roles in neurodegenerative diseases, the present study was carried out to investigate whether NC can improve cognitive function of rats with diabetes mellitus (DM) via restoring autophagic flux in CA1 hippocampus. RESULTS Our results showed that NC treatment improved cognitive deficit and attenuated neuronal loss as well as cellular ultrastructure impairment in the CA1 region of DM rats induced by streptozotocin. Moreover, NC lowered the expressions of the apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2, Bax, Cyt-c, and cleaved Caspase-3. Notably, NC treatment reversed autophagic flux impairment as evidenced by the deceases in LC3-II and p62 protein levels, and autophagosome accumulation in the hippocampal CA1 region of DM rats. However, these protective effects of NC were abolished by cotreatment with 3-methyladenine (an autophagy inhibitor) and chloroquine (an autophagic flux inhibitor), respectively. Furthermore, NC treatment decreased the expressions of phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase (p70S6k) proteins in the CA1 region of DM rats. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that NC ameliorates DM-induced cognitive function impairment via restoring autophagic flux might by inhibiting mTOR/p70S6k activation in the CA1 region, and NC may be a promising agent for diabetic cognitive dysfunction prevention and treatment.
