RESUMO
Objective:To explore the effect of dyslipidemia on the clinical outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) in infertility patients receiving donor eggs.Methods:A total of 118 patients were selected to receive egg donors and ICSI-ET at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between April 2007 and December 2020. According to the levels of triacylglycerol, serum cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low density lipoprotein, they were divided into dyslipidemia group (35 cases) and normal blood lipids group (83 cases). The influence of body mass index (BMI) and age was adjusted by 1∶1 propensity score matching, and the general condition and clinical outcome of the two groups were analyzed retrospectively. Finally, the relationship between lipid composition and clinical outcome was analyzed according to patients′ age and BMI.Results:(1) Comparing the pre-matching dyslipidemia group with the normal blood lipids group, the BMI of the dyslipidemia group was significantly higher than that of the normal blood lipids group [(23.5±2.4) vs (22.4±2.7) kg/m 2], and the embryo implantation rate was significantly lower than that of the normal blood lipids group [13.6% (8/59) vs 27.3% (36/132)], the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.05). (2) There were no significant differences in years of infertility, number of pregnancies, number of abortions, number of transplanted embryos, protocol of endometrial preparation, endometrial thickness on transplantation day and high quality embryo rate between the two groups, through propensity score matching (all P>0.05). The biochemical pregnancy rate [28.6% (10/35)], embryo implantation rate [13.6% (8/59)] and live birth rate [20.0% (7/35)] in dyslipidemia group were significantly lower than those in the normal blood lipids group ( P<0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate was lower than that of the normal blood lipids group ( P>0.05). (3) The results of stratified analysis showed that the level of HDL in the clinically non-pregnant group was significantly lower than that in the pregnant group in patients ≤ 35 years old [(1.5±0.3) vs (1.8±0.5) mmol/L; P<0.05]. In the overweight recipient patients, the level of HDL of the clinically non-pregnant group was lower than that of the pregnant group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Dyslipidemia significantly reduces the biochemical pregnancy rate, embryo implantation rate and live birth rate in patients with receiving donor eggs. Especially in patients aged ≤35 years old, the reduction of HDL is closely related to adverse pregnancy outcomes.
RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate chromosome abnormality rate and related factors of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy.@*Methods@#A total of 831 tissue samples of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy were collected from June 2015 to August 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Chromosomal copy number was analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS). The relationships between chromosome abnormality and maternal age, in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) pregnancy, number of previous spontaneous abortions, history of live birth were analyzed by statistical methods.@*Results@#Among 831 tissue samples of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy, 461 (55.5%, 461/831) were found to have chromosome abnormalities. Maternal age (OR=1.107, 95%CI: 1.070- 1.145) and history of live birth (OR=1.909, 95%CI: 1.182-3.083) were the positive correlative factors of chromosome abnormality. Times of previous spontaneous abortion (OR=0.807, 95%CI: 0.702-0.928) and IVF-ET pregnancy (OR=0.554, 95%CI: 0.404-0.760) were the negative correlative factors of chromosome abnormality.@*Conclusions@#Chromosome abnormality is an important cause of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy. The rate of chromosome abnormality increases with the increase of maternal age and the history of live birth, and decreases with the increase of number of previous spontaneous abortion and IVF-ET pregnancy.

Chromosomal copy number was analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS). The relationships between chromosome abnormality and maternal age, in vitro fertilization?embryo transfer (IVF?ET) pregnancy, number of previous spontaneous abortions, history of live birth were analyzed by statistical methods. Results Among 831 tissue samples of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy, 461 (55.5%, 461/831) were found to have chromosome abnormalities. Maternal age (OR=1.107, 95%CI: 1.070-1.145) and history of live birth ( OR=1.909, 95%CI : 1.182-3.083) were the positive correlative factors of chromosome abnormality.

Conclusions Chromosome abnormality is an important cause of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy. The rate of chromosome abnormality increases with the increase of maternal age and the history of live birth, and decreases with the increase of number of previous spontaneous abortion and IVF?ET pregnancy.
RESUMO
Kouzilan was selected as a potent hypotensive drug, and two fractions, K01 (hydrosoluble element) and K02 (fat-soluble element), were extracted from it. Thepresent study focused on its mechanism of vascular effects in vitro. The data showed thatK01 and K02 antagonized the contraction of isolated thoracic aortic ring of SD rat, indu-ced by norepinephrine (NE, 1 ?mol/L). The IC_(50) values of K01 and K02 were 1.98g/Land 1.15g/L respectively, and that of Verapamil (Ver) was 0.88 ?mol/L. K01, K02 andVer all shifted the dose-response curves of NE to the right in a noncompetitive antagonis-tic manner, and they also depressed the maximal efficacy of contraction. Added NE intoa calcium-free K-H solution to induce aortic vessel contraction (phase 1), then added cal-cium (2.5mmol/L) to induce continued contraction (phase 2), K01 depressed phase 2significantly. In lower concentration, K02 was similar to K01, however, in higher concen-tration, it depressed phase 1 and phase. 2 significantly, which was similar to Ver. Theseresults suggested that K01 and K02 had a vasodilative effect, which was related to theblockade of the receptor operated calcium channel (ROC). K02 inhibited both the calciumrelease from intracellar storage sites and the influx of extracellar calcium, but K01 onlyinhibited the latter.
