Objectives To study pregnant outcomes of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET),and analyze the differences of pregnant outcomes in patients with various phenotypes of PCOS.Methods From Jan.2005 to Feb.2010,631 PCOS patients (PCOS group)and 1423 patients with tubal infertility (control group) who underwent IVF-ET with matched age and body mass index were selected in Center for Reproductive Medicine of the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University.Retrospective study was carried out,and pregnancy outcomes were compared between two groups.Results The rates of abortion and preterm birth in PCOS group were significantly higher than those in control group [22.7％ ( 143/631 ) vs.18.69％ (266/1423) and 11.2％ (38/339) vs.6.4％ (51/794) respectively,all P ＜0.05 ].The rates of gestational diabetes mellitus were 1.5％ (5/339) in PCOS and 0.6％ (5/794) in control group,respectively; the rates of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome were 4.7％ (16/339) in PCOS and 3.0％ (24/794) in control group; gestational days were(272 ± 13) days in PCOS and(273 ± l0)days in control group; the rates of neonatal deformity were 0.6％ (2/339) in PCOS and O.8％ (6/794) in control group; weight of newborn infants in the two groups was(3.5 ±0.5 ) kg; and there was no significant difference between two groups in the above index ( all P ＞ O.05 ).Ovulatory PCOS patients had similar abortion rate [ 18.6％ (19/102) ] and preterm birth rate [ 8.2％ (4/49) ] when compared with those of control group (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conversely,oligo-ovulatory PCOS patients showed higher abortion rate [ 23.4％ ( 124/529 ) ] and preterm birth rate [ 11.7％ (34/290) ] than those of control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions PCOS patients after IVF-ET have an increased abortion rate and preterm birth rate.However,ovulatory PCOS did not present various pregnancy complications.Non-polycystic ovary PCOS patients have worse pregnancy outcome.Ovarian dysfunction might be related to obstetric complications.

Objective To analyze the intratumoral and peritumoral microvessel density (MVD) and microlymphatic vessel density (MLVD) in pancreatic cancer and record the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)-C and VEGF-D. And to explore the significance of VEGF-C and VEGF-D during the lymphatic metastasis and development of pancreatic cancer. Methods The expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D, VEGF-R3, CD34 were assayed by immunohistochemical staining in 30 cases of pancreatic cancer tissues. Results The positive rates of VEGF-C and VEGF-D protein in the central portion of tumors (30% and 16.7%) were significantly lower than those in the marginal portion (73.3% and 56.7%), P <0.01. The group with high expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in the marginal portion had significantly higher incidences of lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion and venous invasion( P <0. 01 ). MLVD in both of the VEGF-C and VEGF-D positive groups was higher than that in the negative groups( P <0. 01 ), and the lymph node me-tastasis increased. MVD in VEGF-C positive group was significantly higher than that in the negative group. MVD had no significant difference between VEGF-D positive and negative group ( P =0. 07). Conclusions The expression of VEGF-C and VEGF-D in the marginal portion of tumor is significantly correlated with lym-phatic metastasis in pancreatic cancer patients, and may induce lymphangiogenesis. VEGF-C may play an im-portant role in the regulation of angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis in pancreatic cancer, and VEGF- D maybe only participate in the regulation of lymphangiogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the stability and repeatability of gradient-echo sampling of spinecho (GESSE) sequence in measuring the R2'value in volunteers, by comparison with traditional GRE sequence (T2* map and T2 map). Methods Eight normal healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study and written informed consents were obtained from all subjects. MR scanning including sequences of GESSE,T2 map and T2 * map were performed in these subjects at resting status. The same protocol was repeated one day later. Raw data from GESSE sequence were transferred to PC to conduct postprocessing with the software built in house. R2'map and OEF map were got consequently. To obtain quantitative R2'and OEF values in the brain parenchyma, six ROIs were equally placed in the anterior, middle and posterior part of bilateral hemispheres. Both mean and standard deviation of R2 'and OEF were recorded. All images from T2 * map and T2 map were transferred to the Workstation for postprocessing. The ROIs were put at the same areas as those for GESSE sequence. R2'is defined as R2' = R2 * -R2,R2* = 1/T2*. The R2'value of GESSE sequence were compared with that of GRE sequence. Results The mean R2 'values of GESSE at the first and second scan and those of the GRE were (4.21 ±0.92),(4.45 ±0. 94) Hz and (7.37 ±1.47), (6. 42 ±2. 33) Hz 0. 035 respectively. The R2'value and OEF value obtained from GESSE were not significantly different between the first and second scan ( t = - 0. 83, - 1.48, P ＞ 0. 05 ). The R2' value of first GRE imaging had significantly statistical difference from that of second GRE inaging ( t = 1.80, P ＜ 0. 05 ). The R2' value of GESSE sequence was less than that of GRE sequence, and there was significantly statistical difference between them(t = 1.71 ,P＜0. 05). Conclusion The GESSE sequence has good stability and repeatability with promising clinical practicability.

Objective To observe the effect of Yiqixue Buganshen Recipes(YBR), the compound recipes of Chinese herbal medicine with the actions of replenishing Qi and blood and tonifying liver and kidney, on the endometrial integrin β3 of the mice with embryo implantation dysfunction, and to explore the molecular mechanism of YBR in improving embryo implantation. Methods Ninety mice were divided normal group, model group, and YBR group, 30 mice in each group. YBR group was given Jinghou Zengzhi granules 8mg/kg for promoting post-menstruation proliferation and Cuhuangti granules 8mg/kg for promoting the formation of corpora luteum. At 8∶00 am of pregnant day 4 (Pd4), subcutaneous injection of mifepristone was used for inducing embryo implantation dysfunction in the model group and YBR group. Twenty mice from each group were executed 12 hours after subcutaneous injection of mifepristone, and the uterus was isolated for the detection of mice endometrial integrin β3 mRNA and protein expression with real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting method respectively. Ten mice from each group at Pd4 were executed, and the uterus was isolated and then fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde solution for the detection of the formation of pinopode in mice endometrium under scanning electron microscope. Results The detection by real-time PCR and Western blotting method revealed that integrinβ3 mRNA and protein expression levels of the model group were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.05), and YBR group had higher integrin β3 mRNA and protein expression levels than the model group(P<0.05). The formation of pinopodes in the model group was less than the normal group and YBR group, but the number of formed pinopodes in YBR group was similar to that in the normal group. Conclusion YBR can up-regulate the expression of integrin β3 in the endometrium of mice with embryo implantation dysfunction, and have positive regulatory effect on the formation of pinopodes on Pd4.

Objective To observe the changes of Th1 / Th2 inflammatory factors in the aqueous humor of tree shrews with fusarium solani keratitis,as well as to explore the relationship between Thl / Th2 inflammatory factors and inflammatory response in fusarium solani keratitis.Methods Forty healthy tree shrews were randomly divided into experimental group(n =30) and control group (n =10).Fusarium solani was inoculated into sabina culture medium and cultured at 26 ℃ for 7 days,and then the fungal suspension was collected and the density of spores was adjusted to 10 × 109 CFU · mL-1.In the experimental group,50 μL fungal spore suspension was injected into the center of the cornea stroma,while the control group received the same amount of saline.Next the levels of cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1 β,IL-6,IL-4 and IL-10 were analyzed by flow cytometry on day 3,day 7,day 14 after successful modeling,and the changes in types of infiltrating cells were observed by histopathological examination.Results The expression level of IL-1 β and IL-6 (Th1 type cytokines) was the highest on day 7,and the difference was statistically significant at each time point when compared with the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of IL-10 (Th2 type cytokines) was the highest on day 14,and the difference was statistically significant at each time point when compared with the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The difference in IL-4 expression was statistically significant on day 7 (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,histopathological examination showed that the number of infiltration cell reached its peak on day 7,mainly neutrophils,and fungal hyphae were observed to be parallel to the matrix fibers at each time point.Conclusion The proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6 and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 may play an important role in the molecular mechanism of inflammatory response of fusarium solani keratitis in tree shrews.

Objective The clinical manifestations of Parkinson''s disease (PD) are divided into non-motor symptoms and motor symptoms.Constipation is one of the common symptoms of non-motor symptoms of the disease.Constipation symptoms in PD generally occur earlier for 5~20 years, while drug treatment for PD constipation can lead to gastrointestinal damage.This study investigated the improvement in the treatment of anorectal dynamics and constipation symptoms in Parkinson''s disease by oral mosapride and press-needle therapy of Shu-Mu point.Methods 60 patients diagnosed as constipation of Parkinson''s disease were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, 30 cases in each group;patients in the control group were treated with oral mosapride tablets, while patients in the treatment group received press-needle therapy, three times per week.The observation course in both groups last for three months and follow-up visits were conducted before and after the course.Efficacy evaluation, PAC-QOL scale and anorectal dynamic examination were applied in the follow-up visit.Results The efficiency of treatment group was 81.7%, significantly higher than control group (70%), representing significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Both the methods could improve the PAC-QOL scale, and significant difference was found in comparison to that before the treatment(P<0.01), while no statistical significance was found between treatment group and control group after treatment(P>0.05).As to the anorectal dynamics, significant difference was found before and after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05, P<0.01), while no statistical significance were found between the two groups after treatment(P>0.05).Conclusion Both oral mosapride and press-needle can improve the quality of life and anorectal dynamics for PD patients, representing no significant difference.However, compared with mosapride, the overall efficacy of press-needle is better in improving the symptoms of constipation in PD, featuring more convenience, higher safety, less pain and no side effect, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective Using gradient-echo sampling of spin-echo (GESSE) sequence to study the change of oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) in patients with unilateral cerebral vessel stenosis and the relationship between OEF and cerebral blood flow (CBF). Methods Eight normal volunteers and 16 patients with unilateral cerebral vessel stenosis were enrolled in this study. Written informed consents were obtained from all subjects. Routine MRI, GESSE and arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequences were performed for all patients. Raw data from GESSE and VE-ASL sequences were transferred to PC to conduct postprocessing. To obtain quantitative OEF and CBF of the brain parenchyma, 6 ROIs were placed respectively in the anterior, middle and posterior part of both hemispheres. The relative CBF (rCBF) was defined as the ratio of CBF of ischemic hemisphere to that of contralateral hemisphere. T test was used for statistics. Results The mean value and normal range of OEF in the volunteers were 0. 318 ± 0. 023 and 0. 272-0. 364, respectively. In the 16 patients with unilateral cerebral vessel stenosis, 8 patients had ROIs with greater OEF in unilateral hemisphere than those in contralateral hemisphere. These cases presented multiple intracranial main arterial stenoses in digital subtraction angiography (DSA) or MR angiography (MRA) examination. The other 8 patients had normal OEF in all ROIs. And they only had single arterial stenosis in DSA or MRA. Set rCBF = 0. 50 as a dividing point, the mean OEF value was 0. 397 ±0. 010 in the patients with rCBF ＜ 0. 50. In the patients with rCBF ≥ 0. 5, the mean OEF value was 0. 325 ±0. 028. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t = - 8. 840, P = 0. 000).Conclusion Patients with chronic cerebral ischemia may present with various hemodynamic impairment.The more CBF decreases, the more OEF increases. Those with increased OEF tended to have more than one lesion in the major intracranial arteries.

Objective: To understand the epidemiological characteristics and antibiotic resistance profiles of Campylobacter spp. in Shanghai from 2013 to 2016. Methods: Stool samples collected from diarrhea outpatients were cultured for Campylobacter spp., using the membrane filter method in 23 hospitals under the sentinel programs, from 2013 to 2016. All the strains were identified by biochemical tests and PCR. Broth microdilution method was used to investigate the antibiotic resistance of 179 Campylobacter spp. strains that including azithromycin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, gentamicin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid, telycin, klinthromycin and flurbenicol. Results: A total of 179 Campylobacter spp. strains were isolated from 10 444 stool samples (1.7%). Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli appeared as the predominant ones (94.4% and 5.6%). The incidence rate was higher in children than that in adults, with peaks of infections mainly from April to June and October to December. Campylobacter jejuni strains seemed highly resistant to ciprofloxacin (96.4%), tetracycline (83.4%) and nalidixic acid (81.7%). The resistant rates appeared higher on Campylobacter coli strains that isolated from patients. Some strains were resistant to multi-drugs. Conclusions Campylobacter spp. seemed one of the important pathogens that isolated from outpatients with diarrhea, in Shanghai. Both age and season related characteristics of Campylobacter spp. were seen. Campylobacter spp. isolated from patients was highly resistant to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline and nalidixic acid.

Objective:To study the clinical application of hanging moxibustion in intervention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity after intertrochanteric fracture of femur, in order to provide theoretical basis for the clinical application of suspension moxibustion.Methods:By adopting a controlled clinical trial method, a total of 100 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture who came to Keqiao District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province for orthopaedic surgery from January 2021 to September 2022 were selected by convenient sampling method and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group, 50 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing intervention, and the observation group was given the traditional Chinese medicine nursing intervention of hanging moxibustion on the basis of the control group. The changes of coagulation function indexes, hemorheology indexes, hemodynamics, the swelling degree score of the affected limb, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of the affected limb pain in the two groups of patients with intertrochanteric fracture before and 14 days after the intervention, and the incidence of lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the two groups after 1 d, 3 d, 7 d, and 14 d of intervention were observed and recorded.Results:After 14 days of intervention, D-dimer, fibrinogen and prothrombin time in the observation group were (380.64 ± 41.78) μg/L, (4.51 ± 0.49) g/L and (10.46 ± 1.04) s, respectively, which were better than those in the control group (464.91 ± 46.81) μg/L, (4.82 ± 0.56) g/L and (12.85 ± 1.12) s with statistical difference ( t=9.50, 2.95, 11.06, all P<0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the whole blood low tangential viscosity, whole blood high tangential viscosity and plasma viscosity in the observation group were (8.34 ± 0.42), (3.72 ± 0.28) and (1.21 ± 0.18) mPa/s, respectively, which were significantly lower than (8.90 ± 0.46), (4.13 ± 0.26) and (1.53 ± 0.22) mPa/s in the control group ( t=6.36, 7.59, 7.96, all P<0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the postoperative blood flow, maximum blood flow velocity and average blood flow velocity in the observation group were (1.89 ± 0.26) L/min, (31.57 ± 3.29) cm/s, (34.41 ± 3.62) cm/s, which were significantly higher than (1.45 ± 0.21) L/min, (24.18 ± 2.85) cm/s, (27.96 ± 3.15) cm/s in the control group ( t=9.31, 12.01, 9.50, all P<0.05). After 14 days of intervention, the total incidence of lower limb DVT in the observation group was 2.00%(1/50) , lower than 24.00%(12/50) in the control group, the difference between the two groups was significant ( χ2=10.70, P<0.05). Conclusions:Suspended moxibustion can significantly improve the coagulation function, hemorheology, hemodynamics, swelling and pain of the affected limb in patients with postoperative intertrochanteric fracture of the femur, and reduce the occurrence of DVT in the lower extremity. It is recommended to be widely used in clinical practice.
