Objective To analyze the correlations of commonly used biometric parameters of normal fetal brain with fetal gender and gestational age (GA) and to evaluate the feasibility of establishing MRI reference standards for normal fetal brain biometry in second and third trimesters. Methods MRI measurements of 263 fetuses without central nervous system abnormalities were retrospectively collected from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from June 2012 to April 2017. MRI measurements of fetal biparietal diameter (BPD), occipital-frontal diameter (OFD), head circumference cross-sectional area (HCS), transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD), anterior-posterior diameter of the vermis (APDV), vermian height (VH) and vermian cross-sectional area (VS) were obtained in every standard plane. Head circumference (HC) and (BPD+OFD)/2 were calculated. Spearman correlation analysis, independent samples t-test, Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used for statistic analysis. Results Fetal BPD, OFD and HCS were statistically correlated with gender in second and third trimesters (r= - 0.155, - 0.149 and- 0.159; P=0.032, 0.038 and 0.027). The mean values of BPD, OFD and HCS of male fetuses were greater than those of female ones [(7.25±1.22) vs (6.87±1.28) cm, (8.59±1.38) vs (8.18±1.41) cm, (53.62±16.82) vs (48.48±16.84) cm2; t=2.101, 2.011 and 2.102; all P<0.05] and the mean differences between them were 0.38 cm, 0.41 cm and 5.14 cm2, respectively. BPD, OFD, HCS, HC, (BPD+OFD)/2, TCD, APDV, VH and VS were positively correlated with gestational age (r=0.950, 0.947, 0.962, 0.957, 0.957, 0.976, 0.931, 0.943 and 0.960, respectively; all P<0.001). Among them, TCD (r=0.976) was the closest relating factor, followed by HCS (r=0.962) and VS (r=0.960). The linear regression equations were as follows: BPD (cm)=0.276×GA-0.453, R2=0.903; OFD (cm)=0.308×GA+0.010, R2=0.896; (BPD+OFD)/2 (cm)=0.292×GA - 0.222, R2=0.916;HC (cm)=0.473×GA - 0.359, R2=0.916; HCS (cm2)=3.795×GA - 52.232, R2=0.926; TCD (cm)=0.180× GA-1.858, R2=0.952; APDV (cm)=0.047×GA-0.353, R2=0.867; VH (cm)=0.071×GA-0.592, R2=0.890;VS (cm2)=0.143×GA-2.396, R2=0.919, all P<0.001. Conclusions Some fetal brain biometric parameters are correlated with fetal gender. It is essential and conducive to establish different reference values for male and female fetuses to achieve accurate prenatal evaluation and diagnosis. Fetal BPD, OFD, HCS, HC, (BPD+OFD)/2, TCD, APDV, VH and VS have strong linear relationship with gestational age in second and third trimester and can be served as good indicators for evaluating fetal brain growth and development. MRI quantitative measurement of fetal brain biometric parameters can provide more reliable reference data for prenatal evaluation of fetal brain growth and development. It is feasible to establish MRI reference standards for fetal brain biometry.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of tubal stump pregnancy, and to assess the value of interventional embolization in preventing tubal stump pregnancy. Methods Among the patients who were planned to receive preoperative treatment of hydrosalpinx before the performance of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) at authors' hospital, 35 patients had stump of fallopian tube. Of the35 patients, previous surgery of unilateral fallopian tube was present in 28 and previous surgery of bilateral fallopian tubes in 7. The length of tubal stump ranged from 10mm to 45mm, with a mean of 25mm. Interventional embolization with micro-coils was carried out in all patients, after which IVF-ET was performed. The pregnancy rate and ectopic pregnancy rate were calculated. Results Embolization of both fallopian tubes was successfully accomplished in all 35 patients. The IVF-ET pregnancy rate was 48.5% (17/35), and no tubal stump pregnancy occurred. Conclusion The use of interventional embolization to occlude tubal stump can effectively avoid the occurrence of tubal stump pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on the inflammatory response of PC12 cells induced by oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) and its related mechanism.Methods:The PC12 cells were cultured in vitro were randomly divided into sham(control) group, OGD group, LMWH group and blocking agent group. The latter group was divided into six groups: Eritoran+ OGD group, LMWH+ Eritoran+ OGD group, ST2825+ OGD group, LMWH+ ST2825+ OGD group, pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate (PDTC)+ OGD group and LMWH+ PDTC+ OGD group. OGD cell model was established. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to detect cell activity. The expressions of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), MyD88 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) mRNA and protein were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. The concentration of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and S100β were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results:The cell activity of OGD group was significantly lower than that of control group on the first, second, third day ( P<0.05). Compared with OGD group, the activity of LMWH group was increased on the second, third day ( P<0.05), but lower than that of control group ( P<0.01). The mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB was significantly increased in OGD group compared with the control group ( F=144.9, F=710.5, 79.51, P<0.01). Compared with OGD group, the mRNA expression of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB were significantly decreased after treatment with LMWH ( P<0.01), and the specific inhibitor of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB enhanced the anti-inflammatory effect of LMWH. The protein expression of this pathway was consistent with that of the gene. The concentration of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and S100β in OGD group was significantly higher than control group ( P<0.05). After treatment with LMWH, the concentrations of inflammatory factors and S100β were significantly decreased compared with OGD group ( P<0.01). When hinder TLR4, MyD88 and NF-κB respectively by Eritoran, ST2825 and PDTC, the concentrations of inflammatory factors and S100β were significantly decreased, but it was still higher than control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:OGD can cause pathological damage of PC12 cells, including high expression level of S100β and aggravation of inflammatory reaction. LMWH can improve cell activity, down-regulate inflammatory reaction degree and protect the cells. Using inhibitors of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway to inhibit the corresponding target, the up-regulation of inflammatory factors by OGD can be inhibited in varying degrees. These suggested that LMWH may regulate inflammatory reaction of PC12 cells induced by OGD through TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway.
