Objective To investigate the effects of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF)and sperm morphology on the fertilization and embryo development in ICSI.Methods SDF and sperm morphology were detected in the meanwhile of taking eggs in 1 45 ICSI treatment cycle.On the basis of SDF index (DFI)divided into group A (DFI≤30%)and group B (DFI >30%).According to the normal sperm morphology divided into group C (NMSR≥4%), group D (1 %≤NMSR <4%),group E (NMSR <1 %).According to the sperm DFI and NMSR divided into group F (DFI≤30% and NMSR≥4%)and group G (DFI >30% and NMSR <4%).Statistically analyzed ICSI outcome of research group:fertilization rate,embryo utilization rate,good quality embryo rate,implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate.Results (1 )The normal fertilization rate,embryos utilization rate,good quality embryo rate,implan-tation rate in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (χ2 =6.96,8.95,5.49,3.92,all P <0.05), but clinical pregnancy rate had no significant difference (χ2 =1 .08,P >0.05).(2)The normal fertilization rate was statistically significant in group C,group D,group E (χ2 =34.5,65.8,11 .8,all P <0.05),but there were no significant differences in embryo utilization rate,good quality embryo rate,implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate (P >0.05).(3 )The normal fertilization rate,embryo utilization rate,good quality embryo rate,implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate in group F were significantly higher than those in group G,and normal fertilization rate,embryos utilization rate,good quality embryo rate had statistically significant differences (χ2 =37.5,1 1 .0,4.3,all P <0.05). Conclusion Sperm abnormal morphology has negative effect on fertilization,and the high DNA fragments have negative effects on fertilization and embryo development.

Objective To investigate the treatment outcome of modified intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)using zona pellucida(ZP)-bound sperm.Methods 82 patients with less,weak,abnormal sperm disease who were conformed to ICSI,were divided into traditional ICSI group and the group of modified ICSI using ZP-bound sperm according to ICSI case number.The results of normal fertilization rate,cleavage rate,high-quality embryo rate, planting rate,clinical pregnancy rate and early abortion rate were compared.Results The women's age,the sterility year,mature egg rate,normal fertilization rate,cleavage rate in the two groups had no statistically significant differ-ences (all P>0.05).The planting rate and clinical pregnancy rate of the observation group (46.6%,63.3%)were higher than those of the control group(38.5%,53.6%),but there were no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).The using embryo rate and high-quality embryo rate of the observation group (73.9%,51.0%)were signifi-cantly higher than those of control group(65.8%,38.6%),the differences were statistically significant(χ2 =5.84,χ2 =11.6,all P<0.05).Conclusion Modified ICSI using ZP-bound sperm can effectively improve the embryos quality in ICSI.

Objective To explore the care burden and its influencing factors of primary caregiver of patients with spinal cord injury. Methods A total of 120 primary caregiver of spinal cord injury patients were selected as research object. The general information of SCI patients and their primary caregiver were investigated by SCI patient general data questionnaire and primary caregiver in SCI patient general data questionnaire, caregiver burden of spinal cord injury were investigated bycaregiver burden inventory. The relationship between the general information of patients and caregivers and the care burden analyzed. Results Caregiver burden of elderly patients was significantly lower than that of younger ones (F=54.053,P<0.01). The more serious of spinal cord injury, the higher of care burden (F=315.104,P<0.01). The patients with neck and multiple segmental spine injury and postoperative complications had a higher care burden (F=199.203,t=6.462, 32.195,P<0.01). When the caregivers were female, spouses or children, with poor health condition, with higher education degree, and as cadres or workers, caregiver burden was higher (t=6.061,F=22.073-52.392,P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the degree of spinal cord injury, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients were the main factors that influenced the care burden. Conclusions The main factors influencing the care burden are spinal cord injury degree, complications, gender, and the relationship between the patients. Clinical managers needs to develop appropriate social support system for the factors which affect the caregiver, in order to ease the caregiver′s care burden.

Objective To discuss the complications of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures (OVCFs) of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae,and to investigate their causes and prevention.Methods From Jan.2004 to Dec.2012,PKP or PKP combined with percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) was performed on 126 vertebrae in 112 thoracolumbar OVCFs patients.There were 21 males and 91 females.The average age was 69 years (ranging from 36 to 85).100 cases had single vertebra,10 cases had double vertebrae,and 2 cases had 3 vertebrae.The injured segments were identified by MRI before surgery,and the fractures of the vertebrae were observed clearly by X ray and CT scan.The causes of the complications were retrospective analyzed.Results Perioperative complication happened in 68 cases (54%).The leakage of the bone cement happened in 66 cases (52.4%):one of them had high fever after the leakage happened behind the post-wall of the vertebra body,and it disappeared after one week with the relevant treatment.There was no injury of the nerve.Most of the leakage happened in front of the vertebra body,few happened in the terminal plate,and few happened behind the vertebral plate.There was no pulmonary embolism.Toxic reaction of the bone cement wasn't found in this team.There was no artery or nerve injury.One temporary spinal cord injury happened,one case was punctured in a wrong vertebra,and balloon rupture happened in one case.One case didn't achieve pain release.No infection happened.Conclusion The bone cement leakage was the most common complication associated with PKP in treatment of OVCFs.The complication rate can be reduced if the operation indications are strict,the volume of the filling cementis is well controlled,and the operation is performed in experienced hands.

Objective To establish a Real-time quantitative PCR method (qPCR) for the detection of diatom UPA barcoding genes and evaluate its application in the drowning diagnosis. Methods The homologous sequences of diatoms UPA gene was obtained by Blast from GeneBank, based on which the universal primers for diatoms were designed. DNA were extracted from 2 common human symbiotic bacteria (Escherichia coli, Bifidobacterium longum), 3 species of planktonic bacteria, 15 species of planktonic algae, tissue samples (lung, liver and kidney) from human cadavers (28 drowning victims, 1 victims by non-drowning in the water, 3 victims deaths on land) in 32 cases. The specificity, sensitivity and repeatability of the designed primers were tested. The positive rates of diatoms detection in the drowning cases were calculated. The results of the real-time quantitative method were evaluated comparatively by Microwave Digestion-Vacuum Filtration-Automated Scanning Electron Microscopy (MD-VF-Auto SEM) and PCR-Capillary Electrophoresis (PCR-CE). Results The results showed that the primers UPA99 had strong specificity for the diatomaceae (Synedra radians, Navicula sp., Melosira varians, Cyclotella sp. and Nitzschia sp.) DNA. The melting curve of the amplified product was smooth; the peak was narrow; the melting temperature was (87±1)℃. The sensitivity of qPCR method was 1.56×10-5ng/μL with the detection range of 1.56×102ng/mL~1.56×10-5ng/μL, in contrast with the PCR-CE method (1.56×10-3ng/μL). This real-time PCR method showed high repeatability and stability with the coefficient of variation less than 2%. The detection rate of lung, liver and kidney was 89.3%, 71.4% and 64.3% respectively. Conclusion The established qPCR method, based on the universal primers designed for diatom UPA gene, has high specificity, high sensitivity and good repeatability. With a promising prospect for application, qPCR is suitable for drowning diagnosis.
