Endometrial receptivity is key to clinical pregnancy by in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer(IVF-ET)technique.Endometrial thickness(EMT)is a major index for pregnancy monitoring,but the optimal time indicating endometrial receptivity is controversially uncertain.Multiple studies have demonstrated the correlation between EMT and IVF pregnancy outcomes and EMT of a moderate range is essential for good pregnancy outcomes and a thin endometrium produces negative pregnancy outcomes.In this paper,we reviewed the research on the im-pact of EMT on IVF-ET pregnancy outcomes in terms of timing of EMT measurement,clinical pregnancy rate,live birth rate,ectopic pregnancy rate,placenta praevia,and low birth weight,investigating the mechanism of occur-rence and treatment of thin endometrium so as to provide clinical references for improving IVF pregnancy outcomes.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of internal fixation of McCrory-Bladin type III fracture of the lateral process of the talus (FLPT) with Kirschner wire Double-pully technique under subtalar arthroscopy and open reduction with Kirschner wire fixation.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 42 patients (42 feet) with McCrory-Bladin type III FLPT admitted to Xuzhou Central Hospital from May 2017 to May 2022, including 15 males (15 feet) and 27 females (27 feet); aged 18-55 years [(33.3±9.8)years]. Among them, 24 patients were treated with Kirschner wire Double-pully technique under subtalar arthroscopy (arthroscopy+Kirschner group), and 18 with open reduction and Kirschner wire fixation (open reduction+Kirschner group). The surgical duration, wound healing status, and assessment outcomes at 12 weeks, 12 months and the last follow-up, including American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF) score, and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) [Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Sports (S) subscores], were compared between the two groups, respectively. Complication rates were also compared at the last follow-up.Results:All the patients were followed up for 12-27 months [(17.6±4.9)months]. The surgical duration in the arthroscopy+Kirschner group [(53.7±11.8)minutes] was longer than that in the open reduction+Kirschner group [(43.9±7.2)minutes] ( P<0.05). Bone grafting was not required in either group and all incision healing was achieved by primary intention. At 12 weeks, 12 months and the last follow-up, the arthroscopy+Kirschner group had higher AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score [(91.3±4.4)points, (94.0±4.2)points, (94.7±4.5)points] compared with the open reduction+Kirschner group [(74.7±11.2)points, (77.9±12.0)points, (79.2±12.0)points] (all P<0.01); the arthroscopy+Kirschner group had higher PROMIS-PF score [(69.5±3.7)points, (71.6±3.3)points, (72.5±3.2)points] compared with the open reduction+Kirschner group [(61.7±6.7)points, (62.9±6.8)points, (63.3±7.0)points] (all P<0.01); the arthroscopy+Kirschner group had higher FAAM-ADL score [(89.8±3.8)points, (92.5±3.3)points, (93.2±3.4)points] compared with the open reduction+Kirschner group [(70.3±15.2)points, (72.1±15.2)points, (73.1±16.0)points] (all P<0.01); and the arthroscopy+ Kirschner group had higher FAAM-S score [(91.5±3.6)points, (94.4±3.6)points, (94.9±3.5)points] compared with the open reduction+Kirschner group [(76.9±15.0)points, (78.6±16.2)points, (79.0±16.0)points] (all P<0.01). Subtalar joint arthritis developed in 2 patients [8.3% (2/24)] in the arthroscopy+Kirschner group at the last follow-up, but in 6 [33.3% (6/18)] in the open reduction+Kirschner group ( P<0.05). No nerve injury was found in either group. Conclusion:For McCrory-Bladin type III FLPT, the Kirschner wire Double-pully technique under subtalar arthroscopy, despite longer surgical duration, results in better physical function, improved activities of daily living, enhanced ankle function, and a lower rate of subtalar joint arthritis compared with open reduction with Kirschner wire fixation.

Objective To evaluate the performance characteristics of the second trimester double-marker test for the detection of fetal Down's syndrome in mainland China. Methods This prospective national multi-centered study used alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and free β-subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin( free β-hCG)as the serum markers. From May 2004 to September 2006, 11 centers participated in the collection and analysis of maternal serum AFP and free β-hCG between 14 and 20+6 weeks of pregnancy. The screening results were calculated using the standard algorithm based on the standard database provided with the analytic software. Patients with an increased risk of Down's syndrome pregnancy (≥1/270) were offered genetic anmiocentesis. Outcomes of all pregnancies were obtained.Results A total of 66 132 singleton pregnancies were included in the study. The median maternal age was 27 years. At a cut-eft of 1 in 270, the detection rate (DR) based on a Caucasian database was 72% corresponding to a false positive rate (FPR) of 5%, and the DR based on the Chinese database was raised to 76% corresponding to an FPR of 5%. Conclusion The double-marker test using AFP and free β-hCG is an effective screen strategy for second-trimester detection of fetal Down's syndrome in mainland China. Ethnic variance exists between the Caucasian and Chinese populations. The accuracy of screening is increased by the use of race-specific medians.

Objective:To explore the quantitative analysis value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) for early changes of calf muscle in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients without peripheral ischemia.Methods:From September 2018 to March 2019, 20 male T2DM patients (age: 45-64 years) without peripheral ischemia and 20 matched male healthy controls (age: 46-62 years) who performed lower limb DTI in Wuxi Second Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University were prospectively analyzed. Fractional anisotropy (FA), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and λ 1, λ 2, λ 3 values of medial head of gastrocnemius (GM), lateral head of gastrocnemius (GL), tibialis anterior(TA) and soleus muscles(SOL) were measured respectively. The differences of DTI diffusion characteristics between 2 groups were compared by using independent-sample t test, and the correlation between FA, ADC and body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), hemoglobin A 1c (HbA1c), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride (TG) were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results:The ADC of TA and SOL in T2DM group ((1.77±0.15) and (1.83±0.10)×10 -3 mm 2/s) was higher than that in control group ((1.66±0.11) and (1.75±0.16)×10 -3 mm 2/s); λ 1, λ 2, and λ 3 of TA in the T2DM group ((2.30±0.21), (1.63±0.17) and (1.38±0.13)×10 -3 mm 2/s) were higher than those in control group ((2.17±0.12), (1.51±0.13) and (1.31±0.12)×10 -3 mm 2/s); λ 2 and λ 3 of SOL were also higher than those in control group ((1.74±0.11) vs (1.64±0.18)×10 -3 mm 2/s and (1.53±0.12) vs (1.44±0.15)×10 -3 mm 2/s; t values: 2.65-3.91, all P<0.05). There were no significant correlations between FA, ADC and BMI, FBG, HbA1c, HDL, LDL and TG ( r values: from -0.15 to 0.08, all P>0.05). Conclusions:Quantitative parameters of DTI, especially ADC, can sensitively detect the microstructural changes of calf muscle in T2DM patients without peripheral ischemia. TA and SOL have high sensitivity to the diffusion of T2DM-related microstructural changes.
