ABSTRACT
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an important treatment option for male infertility at pre-sent.However, a few patients still suffer from repeated ICSI fertilization failure because their sperm is unable to activate oocytes.Artificial oocyte activation (AOA) technology can improve the fertilization rate, pregnancy rate, live birth rate, etc., but it remains unknown whether AOA has short- and long-term effect on offspring.In this article, recent literature about the effect of AOA technology on perinatal outcomes, genetics, physical development and neurological development of offspring was summarized.This paper aims to provide reference for reproductive medicine workers and pediatricians in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of oral glucocorticoid dose on maternal and infant outcomes in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), thus providing reference for clinical work.Methods:Clinical data of pregnant women with SLE admitted to Department of Obstetrics, Peking University People′s Hospital from July 2015 to June 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the daily oral glucocorticoid dose during pregnancy(equivalent converted to Prednisone), pregnant women were divided into 2 groups: ≤7.5 mg group(67 cases) and >7.5 mg group(74 cases). The maternal and fetal outcomes of the 2 groups were analyzed by t-test or χ2 test or Fisher′ s exact probability method. Results:The neonatal birth weight, birth length, white blood cell count and platelet count in ≤7.5 mg group were significantly higher than those in >7.5 mg group[(2 990.69±532.20) g vs.(2 734.57±608.35) g, (48.97±2.34) cm vs.(47.43±3.38) cm, (17.69±6.16)×10 9/L vs.(15.11±6.00)×10 9/L, (276.92±74.51)×10 9/L vs.(240.05±69.29)×10 9/L], while the incidence of low birth weight and neonatal transfer rate were significantly lower(13.85% vs.30.43%, 12.31% vs.33.33%) ( t/ χ2=2.587, 3.068, 2.354, 2.841, 5.301, 8.321, all P<0.05). Meanwhile, the incidence of maternal complications like hypertension disorders in pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus in the ≤7.5 mg group were lower than those in the >7.5 mg group, but the incidence of anemia and postpartum hemorrhage increased, although no significant differences were detected (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The overall maternal and fetal outcomes of patients with SLE with oral Prednisone ≤7.5 mg/d were better those medicated >7.5 mg/d, but the incidence of anemia during pregnancy and postpartum hemorrhage was higher.An individual monitoring and treatment should be concerned to improve the maternal and infant outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of reproduction on maternal and infant outcomes in female patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:Clinical data of SLE patients complicated with pregnancy admitted in the Peking University People′s Hospital from July 2015 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.According to the history of live birth, SLE patients complicated with pregnancy were divided into primiparity group (94 cases) and reproduction group (32 cases). Maternal and infant outcomes of the 2 groups were analyzed.Results:A total of 126 SLE patients complicated with pregnancy were included in the present study.The proportion of using immunosuppressants was significantly lower in reproduction group than that of primiparity group [3 cases (9.38%) vs.27 cases (28.72%)] ( χ2=4.927, P=0.026). Complications like lupus nephritis, thyroid disease and postpartum hemorrhage significantly increased in the reproduction group (all P<0.05), and the adverse neonatal outcomes like preterm infants, low birth weight infants and small for gestational age infants in the reproduction group were lower than those in primiparity group, but no significant differences were detected(all P>0.05). There were no significant diffe-rences in the results of the first blood routine examination of newborns and the incidence of neonatal pathological jaundice between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For SLE patients complicated with reproductive pregnancy, although the incidence of some pregnancy complications increases, the incidence of adverse neonatal outcomes decreases.In addition, reducing the use of immunosuppressants may have positive implications on neonatal outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the perinatal independent risk factors and neonatal complications of discordant twins.Methods Clinical data of 152 (76 pairs) discordant twins and 552 (276 pairs) concordant twins were enrolled at the Obstetrics of Peking University People's Hospital from November 1,2011 to October 31,2016.The perinatal characteristics and the neonatal complications in 2 groups were analyzed and compared.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors associated with the occurrence of discordant twins.Results (1) The gestational age,the incidence of term infants and birth weight of the discordant twins were significantly lower than those of the concordant twins[(35.8 ±2.5) weeks vs.(36.7 ± 1.8) weeks,48.7％ vs.60.2％,(2 277.1 ± 575.7) g vs.(2 545.0 ± 413.4) g],and the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of premature infants,the incidence of infants small for gestational age and the rate of transferring discordant twins to pediatric department were significantly higher than that of concordant twins (51.3％ vs.39.9％,40.8％ vs.13.2％,46.1％ vs.26.8％),and the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).(2) The incidence of neonatal asphyxia,neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,neonatal pneumonia,neonatal apnea,bronchopulmonary dysplasia,neonatal sepsis and neonatal intracranial hemorrhage were significantly higher than those of concordant twins (6.6％ vs.2.5％,7.2％ vs.3.1％,5.3％ vs.1.3％,9.2％ vs.3.3％,3.9％ vs.0.9％,3.3％ vs.0.7％,4.6％ vs.O.7％),and the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).(3) The birth weight in the twins with low body weight group was significantly lower than that in the twins with high body weight group [(1 926.7 ± 414.1) g vs.(2 618.7 ± 504.6) g],and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of small for gestational age,the rate of conversion to pediatrics and the incidence of neonatal intracranial hemorrhage in the twins with low body weight group were significantly higher than those in the twins with high body weight group (65.8％ vs.6.6％,56.6％ vs.35.5 ％,9.2％ vs.0),and the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).(4) Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertensive disorder during pregnancy (OR =2.127,95％ CI:1.392-3.253) and gestational diabetes mellitus (OR =1.684,95％ CI:1.112-2.552) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of discordant twins.Conclusions Hypertensive disorder during pregnancy and gestational diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for the occurrence of discordant twins,who are much more likely to develop various neonatal complications,particularly low-birth-weight infants.Timely surveillance and treatment of short-term complications and long-time follow-up are essential to discordant twins.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the differences in maternal and neonatal complications of twin pregnancies in different modes of conception.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed to compare the differences in mother's gestation history,childbirth and neonatal complications among 102 cases of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVFET) pregnancy twins,16 cases of simple ovulation induction(OI) pregnancy twins and 96 cases of spontaneous conception(SC) pregnancy twins.Results 1.The maternal age[(32.51 ±4.03) years vs (31.25 ±3.38) years vs (30.20 ± 4.13) years,F =8.061,P ＜ 0.05] and birthrate of full-term infants (21.5 ％ vs 0 vs 10.4％,x2 =7.566,P ＜ 0.05) of IVF-ET group were significantly higher than that of OI group and SC group.The body weight at birth of OI group was significantly lower than that of IVF-ET group and SC group [(1 918.1 ±516.4) g vs (2 228.3 ±4542) g vs (2 164.4 ±442.5) g,F =3.293,P ＜0.05].The birthrate of late preterm infant(87.5％ vs 51.0％ vs 64.6％,x2 =9.322,P ＜ 0.05) and the incidence of twin discordance (50.0％ vs 21.6％ vs 18.8％,x2 =7.781,P ＜ 0.05) of OI group were significantly higher than that of IVF-ET group and SC group,while the incidence of monozygotic twins of SC group was significantly higher than that of IVF-ET group and OI group(52.1％ vs 5.9％ vs 0,x2 =58.016,P ＜ 0.05).2.The incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension of OI group was significantly higher than those of IVF-ET group and SC group(50.0％ vs 17.6％ vs 22.9％,x2 =8.344,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus of OI group and spontaneous group was significantly higher than that of IVF-ET group(12.5％ vs 14.6％ vs 3.9％,x2 =6.838,P ＜0.05).3.The incidence of twin transfusion syndrome of SC group was significantly higher than that of the other groups(6.3％ vs 0 vs 0,x2 =7.588,P ＜0.05),but the incidence of apnea of prematurity of OI group was significantly higher than that of IVF-ET group and SC group(43.8％ vs 15.7％ vs 24.0％,x2 =7.081,P ＜0.05).The incidence of asphyxia,transient tachypnea of the newborn,hypoglycemia,intracranial hemorrhage and septicemia of OI group were higher than that of IVF-ET group and SC group,but there was no significantly difference among 3 groups.Conclusions IVF-ET conceived twin pregnancies are not at greater risk for pregnancy complications and adverse perinatal outcome than SC twin pregnancies.But the incidence of some adverse maternal and neonatal complications of simple OI twin pregnancies is higher than that of IVF-ET group and SC group.More attention should be paid to the perinatal health care of OI conception twins,which is important to avoid serious complications.
