ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the impact of adding human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) for in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer pregnancy outcomes in a standard population of non-advanced age with normal ovarian reserve function using a long follicular phase protocol.Methods:Clinical data of 489 patients with normal ovarian reserve function, who were admitted from January 2018 to January 2020 in the Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou Medical University and underwent in vitro fertilization for the first time with the long follicular phase protocol in fresh cycles, were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups according to whether or not to add urine-derived hMG and the timing of addition: non-addition group (group A), medium-term hMG group (group B1), whole course hMG group (group B2); the laboratory parameters of each group were observed, and the effect of ovulation induction drugs and pregnancy outcomes were compared.Results:The ages of B1 and B2 groups were significantly higher than that of group A ( P=0.019 and P=0.011). The basal FSH level of group B2 was significantly higher than those of group A and group B1 ( P<0.01 and P=0.006), and the basal FSH/LH ratio of group B2 was significantly higher than that of group B1 ( P=0.009). Antral follicle counts of group A and group B1 were significantly higher than that of group B2 ( P=0.007 and P=0.017). The superior embryo rate of group B2 [(47±27)%] was significantly higher than that of group A ( P=0.017). The embryo implantation rate of group B1 was significantly lower than those of group A and group B2 ( P=0.043 and P<0.01). The clinical pregnancy rate of group B2 [76.7% (155/202)] was significantly higher than those of group A ( P=0.039) and group B1 ( P<0.01). The live-birth rate of group B2 [67.3% (136/202)] was significantly higher than those of group A ( P=0.017) and group B1 ( P=0.001). Conclusions:For non-advanced aged patients with normal ovarian reserve function, the long protocol of follicular phase is suitable for those with relatively low ovarian reserve function. Adding hMG in the whole course of ovulation induction after gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist reduction could improve the pregnancy outcomes by improving the quality of embryos.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the therapeutic effect ofShengji-Yuhong ointment in the treatment of patients with pressure ulcer.Methods 86 patients of pressure ulcer were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 43 cases in each. After debridement, the wound was covered with vaseline gauze in the control group, whileShengji-Yuhong ointment in the treatment group. 10 days constituted 1 course of treatment, and both groups were treated for 3 courses. The blood supply of the whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation index detection; white blood cell count (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C reactive protein (CRP) were observed in order to observe the control condition of the patients with wound infection.Results The total effective rate was 95.3% (41/43) and 74.4% (32/43) in the observation group and control group respectively, with significant difference between two groups (χ2=5.800,P=0.016). After treatment, the whole blood viscosity (high-shea) (4.06 ± 1.38 mPa?svs. 4.74 ± 1.62 mPa?s,t=2.095), the whole blood viscosity (medium-shea) (3.71 ± 1.22 mPa?svs. 4.34 ± 1.41 mPa?s,t =2.216), blood reduction viscosity (1.13 ± 0.22 mPa?svs.1.44 ± 0.51 mPa?s,t=3.660), the whole blood viscosity (medium-shea) (4.16 ± 0.48 mPa?svs. 4.51 ± 0.89 mPa?s,t=2.270) obviously compared with group before treatment decreased (P<0.05). The patients in the observation group in the whole blood viscosity (medium-shea) (3.71 ± 1.22 mPa?svs. 4.16 ± 0.48 mPa?s,t=2.251), and blood reduction viscosity (1.13 ± 0.22 mPa?svs. 1.32 + 0.31 mPa?s,t=3.278) in the observation group were obvious better than the control group (P<0.05). After the treatment the WBC, CRP, ESR in the observation group were decreased significantly than the control group (t=5.947, 7.198, 12.064,P<0.01).ConclusionShengji-Yuhong ointment can effectively control the PU infection in the wound, improve wound tissue under the blood circulation, and promote wound healing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of bedside echocardiography in full term infants in NICU.Methods The bedside echocardiography was performed for 313 full term infants,and then they were ana-lyzed.Results The main clinical characteristics of totally 313 cases of neonates were tachypnea,heart murmur and cyanosis.Patent foramen ovale and patent ductus arteriosus were common in the no cyanotic blood shunt,no cyanotic congenital heart disease(CHD)was mainly made of atrial septum defect(31 cases),followed by ventricular septal defect (20 cases).Cyanotic CHD was made of pulmonary atresia(6 cases),complete transposition of great artery (5 cases),tetralogy of fallot(5 cases),total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage(5 cases).Tricuspid regurgitation was common in abnormal blood flow,moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension was common for full term infants. Conclusion There were many abnormal echocardiography examination results,and atypical noise was common in neonatal CHD,routine examination of bedside echocardiography for full term infants in NICU was important for early detection of CHD and may help treatment timely to improve the prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To measure serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels and study its associations with lipoproteins in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Sixty-five PCOS women and 20 ovulating normal women with body mass index (BMI)
ABSTRACT
Objective: To screen out serum protein profiling of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) by surface - enhancedlaser desorption/ ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) for discovering the discriminatory proteins. Methods: Thirty one women with PCOS and thirty healthy women were detected by Weak Cation Exchange(WCX2)chip. ProteinChip reader and Biomarker Wizard software from Ciphergen Inc were combined with a bioinformatics method (support vector machines, SVM ) to analyze protein fingerprinting. Results: There were 4 proteins which were obviously different between the PCOS group and the control. Three of them were up-regulated, and one down-regulated. To set up a analysis model by SVM using the 4 proteins could successfully distinguish between PCOS and the normal control. The corresponding sensitivity, specificity and positive predict value were 86.7%, 83.3%, 87.2%, resectively. Conclusion: Using ProteinChip technology can screen out serum discriminatory proteins quickly and efficiently. Combined with SVM, an optimal fingerprinting model has been set up, which can easily predict PCOS. In disease state of PCOS, there are significant variations which consist of four proteins. To investigate those four discriminatory proteins, especially the protein m/z 6 628 may be of benefit to pathogenic study and the development of biomarkers for PCOS.
