Objective To explore the relative factors of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in infertile women.Methods Ninety-eight infertile women diagnosed PCOS at affiliated hospital of the Chinese People's Armed Force Logistic college from Jan.2008 to Dec.2012 were served as PCOS group.Two hundred and eighty infertile women with normal ovarian structure according to laparoscopic examination result were selected as control group.The general information,factors related infertile and laparoscopic examination of the two groups were recorded.Results Fifty-one cases (52.0％) in PCOS group were with menarche age earlier than 13 years old,higher than that of control group (113 (40.4％),x2 =4.03,P ＜ 0.05).Eleven cases (11.2％) in PCOS group were with abnormal menstruation cycle,higher than that of control group (12 (4.3％),x2 =6.12,P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of pelvic adhesions in PCOS group was lower than the control group(60(21.1％) vs.224(40.4％),x2 =13.70,P ＜0.05).Irregular menstruation cycle was risk factor of PCOS (OR=1.770,95％ CI:1.09-2.88,P =0.002).Conclusion Women with earlier menarche and irregular menstruation cycle should be paid more attention in terms of PCOS,early screening,discovery,prevention and treatment,so as to reduce the incidence of PCOS induced infertility and the long-term complications.

Objective To explore the effect of oxymatrine o n the airway inflammation and the cytokine production in asthmatic mice. Methods Forty BALB/c mice were divided into four groups in cluding a control group (group A), an asthmatic model group (group B), a dexamet hasone treatment group (group C) and a oxymatrine treatment group (group D). Ast hma mouse models in group B, group C and group D were prepared by injecting oval bumin (OVA) into the abdominal cavity and inhalation of aerosol. Group C were in jected dexamethasone, and group D recceived oxymatrine on day 15 to 22 .The numb er of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5 and IFN-? in th e mouse bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) were detected. Results Oxymatrine could significantly reduce the mumber of EOS and the concentration of IL-4 and IL-5, and increase the level of IFN-? in the BALF of asthmatic mice. Significant difference was fo und between group D and group A or B(P0.05). Conclusion Oxymatrine can remarkably reduce the mumber of i nflammation cells in the BALF, and influence the level of cytokines so as to imp rove airway inflammation in the patients with asthma.

Objective To investigate relations between villus Benzo (a)pyrene (BaP)-DNA adducts and blighted ovum in early pregnancy, and to explore possible environmental factors influencing embryo development. Methods One hundred and two pregnant women with blighted ovum were selected into this study as research group; and 102 normal pregnant women were taken as control group; the age, gravidity, parity and gestational weeks of the two groups were matched. After artificial abortion, villi of the patients were collected and washed by normal saline. Then, the tissue was homogenated and genome DNA was extracted to detect quantity of the tissue. BaP-DNA adducts levels were examined by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence method (HPLC). The personal information of pregnant women was collected by questionnaire. Logistic regression model was used to investigate the association between BaP-DNA adducts and blighted ovum. Results BaP-DNA adducts level in villi of research group [(8. 9±8. 2) adducts/108 nucleotides] was significantly higher than that of control group [(2. 0±1. 4) adducts/108 nucleotides], P＜0.05. The higher the BaP-DNA adducts in villi, the higher risk the blighted ovum; when the BaP-DNA adducts level increased to 6.06 adducts/108 nucleotides, the risk of blighted ovum might increase 59.39 times (95% CI:15.50-227.55). Maternal education level was a protective factor (OR=-0.21, 95%CI:-0. 19--0.03) after controlling potential confounders. Conclusions High level of villi BaP-DNA adducts might increase the risk of blighted ovum in early pregnancy, and could have an adverse effect on embryo development.

Objective To study the evaluative values of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) in screening neonatal seizures.Methods The aEEG and video electroencephalogram (VEEG) on 32 patients with seizures hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital was conducted on the same day.The parameters of aEEG including the integrated spectra band,background rhythm and primitive electro signal were analyzed and compared with VEEG.Results Seizures presented clinically by 12 cases were detected by VEEG,and their electric discharges were detected by aEEG.The sensitivity of aEEG was 100%.VEEG showed electric discharges during intermediate stage in twenty cases and thus the seventeen of this group were detected by aEEG with its sensitivity of 87% and 100% in the specificity.The positive and negative predictive values of aEEG were 80% and 100%,respectively.But aEEG could not discriminate the attack stage or intermediate stage electric discharges.The abnormal background activity was detected by VEEG in 13 cases and the sensitivity of aEEG was 100% and the specificity was 83%.The positive and negative predictive value by aEEG were 76% and 100% respectively.The electric discharges of 32 cases were detected by VEEG whenever they were in attack stage or intermediate stage.All electric discharges could be detected through primitive electro signal by aEEG.The electric discharges in 3 cases were not detected by integrated spectra band from aEEG,but were detected by primitive electro signal from aEEG.Conclusions The sensitivity and specificity in the screening of neonatal seizures by aEEG is useful and could be applied clinically as a simple and safe screening method for recognizing neonatal seizures.

Objective To compare the outcomes of multifetal pregnancy reduced to twins with initial twin pregnancy.Methods This study included all patients who had high-order multiple pregnancies from August 2007 to September 2010 ( n =567 ) in outpatient or inpatient of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University.There were 478 initial twin pregnancys (non-reduced group ) and 89 multifetal pregnancy reduced to twins (reduced group).All fetal reduction procedures were performed after 12 weeks gestation.The maternal ages,gestational ages at delivery,pregnancy complications,birth weight of twins and neonatal outcomes were observed in all groups.Results ( 1 ) Average maternal ages and mean gestational ages at delivery:the average maternal ages were ( 29.7 ± 4.5) and (29.9 ± 5.0 ) years for the non-reduced and reduced groups,respectively,no statistical significance (P =0.755).The mean gestational ages at delivery in the nonreduced and reduced twins were (35.3 ± 3.9) and ( 34.4 ± 6.3 ) weeks,respectively ( P ＜ 0.01 ).( 2 ) Pregnancy complications:the rate of pre-eclampsia was 8.2％ ( 39/478 ) in the nonreduced group and 12.4％ (11/89) in the reduced group,no statistical significance ( P =0.199 ).The rates of gestational diabetes mellitus were 1.7％ ( 8/478 ) and 3.4％ ( 3/89 ),respectively,no statistical significance ( P =0.287 ).( 3 ) Neonatal outcomes:① the frequencies of birth weight discordances ＞ 400 g were 28.9％ for the nonreduced group and 27.0％ for the reduced group,no statistical significance ( P =0.715 ).The frequencies of birth weight discordances ＞ 100 g were 75.1％ for the nonreduced group and 75.3％ for the reduced group,no statistical significance (P =0.972).②The mean birth weight of the nonreduced twin group was significantly higher than that of the reduced group [ ( 2700 ± 468 ) g vs.( 2352 ± 602 ) g,respectively,P ＜ 0.0l ],there was statistical significance.The mean birth weight of gestational ages ＞ 36 +1 weeks at delivery of the nonreduced twin group was significantly higher than that of the reduced group [ (2809 ± 424) g vs.(2707 ± 506) g,respectively,P ＜0.01 ],there is statistical significance.③The rate of infant mortality( gestational ages ＞28 weeks at delivery) was 1.3％ ( 1/78 ) for the reduced group and 2.2％ ( 10/448 ) for the nonreduced group.The major morbidity rate was 3.8％ (3/78) for the reduced group and 4.0％ (18/448) for the nonreduced group,no statistical significance ( P =0.588,0.943 ).Conclusions Multiple pregnancies after fetal reduction were still associated with a mild increased risk when compared to initial twin pregnancies and their abortion rate is high.The gestational ages of the reduced group were affected by the initial number of fetuses,and the birth weights of reduced twins were lower than that of the nonreduced twins.

Purpose To explore the value of direct CT venography (CTV) for the diagnosis of varicose veins of lower limb. Materials and methods Forty patients diagnosed as varicose veins of lower limbs were enrolled. 40 patients with 56 involved limbs underwent direct CTV examination, and their images were stratified and evaluated according to the severity and the scope of the disease. Main assessment:definition and scope of CT axial scans combined with volume rendering (VR) and maximum intensity projection for the display of the varicose veins; situation for the display of perforating veins, deep veins and iliac veins;diagnostic compliance between CTV and DSA. Results All of the 56 involved limbs underwent laser intra-cavity occlusion surgery, among them 7 cases with 11 limbs underwent venous angiography under DSA at the same time. In the evaluation of the VR, excellent proportion was 92.86%(52/56), moderate proportion was 7.14%(4/56). Among the deep veins, ratio of the imaging that was able to meet the diagnostic standard was 94.34%, 88.46%and 27.27%, respectively for calf vein, femoral vein and external iliac vein. The total demonstration rate of perforating veins was 98.21%(55/56). Diagnostic compliance between CTV and DSA was 100.00%. Conclusion Lower extremity direct CTV imaging is convenient and noninvasive for patients with varicose veins, with high compliance with DSA results, thus is significantly valuable for the guide of clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the pregnancy outcomes and fetal loss after fetal reduction of triplets to twins or singleton pregnancy. Methods 282 cases of triplets who received multi-fetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR) at Shandong Provincial Hospital affiliated to Shandong University were recruited from Sep 2001 to Mar 2014. According to the remaining fetal number after MFPR, 231 cases were opted to reduce to twins (twins group) while 51 cases were opted to singleton pregnancy (singleton group).The indication of the former group was fetal abnormalities under ultrasound or on patients′ demand; while the indication for the later group included dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplets or patients′ aspiration. Potassium chloride was injected into the targeted fetal heart until cardiac standstill was obtained. The pregnancy outcomes, gestational age at delivery, birth weight of newborns of the two groups were recorded. Successful pregnancy was defined as take-home at least one baby. Results (1)The overall rate of successful pregnancy was 91.5%(258/282).There were 413 neonates in the twins group, including 4 neonatal deaths and 409 live babies, with the successful rate of 90.5%(209/231). There were 49 neonates in the singleton group, including 2 cases of fetal loss. Thus the successful rate was 96.1%(49/51). There was no difference of successful pregnancy rate between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The mean gestational age at operation for the twins group and singleton group were(16.5±3.5)weeks and (14.2±2.0) weeks, respectively. Each group was divided into three periods,11-13+6 weeks, 14-16+6 weeks and≥17 weeks.In the twins group, the cases in each time period were129(55.8%,129/231), 50(21.6%,50/231)and 52(22.5%,52/231), respectively. While in the singleton group, the cases in each time period were 27(53%,27/51), 16(31%, 16/51)and 8(16%,8/51).There was no difference between the two groups at each time period(P>0.05). (3)The fetal loss rate in the twins group were 7%(9/129), 12%(6/50), 10%(5/52) at each time period, respectively. While for the singleton group they were 4%(1/27), 0(0/16)and 1/8, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups at each time period(P>0.05).(4)The mean birth weight of the twins group was lower than the singleton group [(2 555±447) g vs (3 084±550) g, respectively, P<0.05].The rates of low birth weight infants(<2 499 g)in the twins group and the singleton group were 45.5%(188/413)and 8%(4/49), respectively(P<0.05).The rate of very low birth weight infants(≤1 499 g) was 3.9%(16/413)in the twins group compared with 0(0/49)in the singleton group(P>0.05).(5)The gestational age at delivery of the twins group was earlier than the singleton group [(36.2 ± 2.4) weeks vs(38.3 ± 2.2)weeks, respectively,P<0.05]. The labor rate of the two groups was significantly different for both 34-36+6 weeks and≥37 weeks(P<0.05).The full-term delivery rate in the twins group was 47.6%(110/231), and was 88.2%(45/51)in the singleton group(P<0.05). The fetal loss rate before 28 weeks did not differ between the two groups[8.7%(20/231)vs 3.9%(2/51), P>0.05].Conclusions Reduction to one fetus led to significantly better outcome than two fetuses, with no significant difference in fetal loss rate. It is better to advise patients with triplets reduce to singleton pregnancy.
