Role of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor polymorphism in predicting ovarian response to letrozole in women with polycystic ovary syndrome during ovulation induction by Xiuxian Zhu, Xiuxian Zhu, Xiuxian Zhu, Qiaoling Wang, Qiaoling Wang, Jingwen Lang, Jingwen Lang, Yunqing Zhi, Yunqing Zhi, Yonglun Fu, Yonglun Fu, Shihua Bao, Shihua Bao

“…Participants with either the Asn/Asn or Thr/Thr polymorphism were more likely to exhibit resistance to letrozole. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the Asn/Asn polymorphism was a potential risk factor for letrozole resistance [OR: 5.227 (95% CI, 0.994-27.490), P = 0.051], while the Thr/Thr polymorphism significantly influenced letrozole response [OR: 7.04 (95% CI, 1.394-35.559), P = 0.018].ConclusionsThe Asn/Asn polymorphism at position 680 and the Thr/Thr polymorphism at position 307 of the FSHR gene may serve as potential predictors of ovulatory failure during letrozole therapy in PCOS patients.…”

The impact of the grassland ecological compensation policy on the modernization of grassland animal husbandry: evidence from Inner Mongolia by Mei Yong, Lili Xu, Chen Xue, Fulin Du

“…IntroductionAgainst the background of China’s modernization, which emphasizes harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, it is highly important to explore whether the grassland ecological compensation policy (GECP) can protect grassland ecosystems while promoting the modernization of grassland animal husbandry and whether it has spillover effects on rural revitalization.MethodsOn the basis of survey data from 475 herding households in Inner Mongolia, this study constructs an index system for the modernization of grassland animal husbandry, measures the level of modernization via factor analysis, and analyzes the impact of the GECP on the modernization of grassland animal husbandry.Results and discussionThe conclusions are as follows: (1) Through ordinary least squares regression (OLS) and moderation effect models, the GECP can significantly promote the modernization level of grassland animal husbandry. …”
