Objective To analyze the phenomenon of monozygotictwin(MZT)in in vitro fertilization/intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET),and explore possible laboratory-related factors that may contribute to MZT. Methods Patients who transferred single embryo in our center from January 2015 to October 2016,including 1786 fresh embryo transfer cycles and 1710 thawed embryo transfer cycles and 49 preimplantation genetic diagnoses(PGD)cycles,were retrospectively analyzed. Correlation between fresh embryo,embryo freez-ing and thawing,embryo quality,artificial assistant hatching and MZT were analyzed. Results (1)There was no significant difference in the MZT rate between embryo age ,in vitro culturing time and in vitro fertilization mode (P > 0.05).(2)The MZT rate between fresh blastocysts and frozen-thawed blastocysts showed significant differ-ence(0.88%vs. 3.08%,P<0.05).(3)The incidence of MZT was significantly higher in laser hatching than that in mechanical hatching in PGD(25.00% vs. 0.00%,P < 0.05). Conclusion Frozen and assisted incubation of blastocyst are risk factors for MZT.

Objective To compare the influence of cryopreservation duration on quality of rozen-thawed embryo and clinical outcome in frozen-thawed transfer cycles. Methods A retrospective study was performed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and quality of rozen-thawed embryo of frozen embryo transfer(FET)cycles includ-ing freezing cycles and vitrification cycles. FET cycles were divided into 4 group acorrding to the storage duration of vitrified embryos:1~6 months group ,7~12 months group ,13~24 months group and ≥ 25 months group. Result There was no significant difference in recovery rate ,clinical pregnancy rate and abortion rate (98.1%, 99.0%,96.8%&95.7%;54.4%,55.4%,49.6%&51.5%;0.7%,8.9%,9.4%&11.1%;P>0.05). The embryos recovery rate and clinical pregnant rate after vitrification were significantly higher than programmed freezing (P<0.05). The blastocyst recovery rate in group A was significantly higher than the cleavage stage embryo recov ery rate in group B(P<0.05). Conclusions Vitrification has better effects on cryopreservation and clinical outcomes. Blastocyst may be the best stage for vitrifying and freezing of embryo.

OBJECTIVE: To analysis the acoustic characteristics in patients with unilateral arytenoid dislocation and unilateral vocal fold paralysis, and evaluate the application value of acoustic analysis technique in these two diseases. METHOD: The voice signals of sustained vowel /a/ were measured using the software MDVP in 50 healthy adults and 67 patients with unilateral vocal cord movement disorders. The acoustic parameters (jitter, shimmer, NHR and F₀) were analyzed. All patients were divided into arytenoid dislocation group (36 cases) and vocal fold paralysis group (31 cases) through the laryngeal electromyography. All groups were divided into male and female group again. The acoustic characteristics between the two experimental groups and normal control groups were observed and compared. Results were analyzed using Rank sum test. RESULT: (1) In both male or female groups, there were significant differences in jitter and shimmer between two experimental group and control group. In both male or female groups, there were significant differences in NHR between arytenoid dislocation group and control group. There were no significant differences in NHR between vocal fold paralysis group and control group. Except for the male vocal fold paralysis group, there were significant differences in F between the other experimental groups and control groups. (2) In both male or female groups, there were no significant differences in jitter and shimmer between vocal fold paralysis group and arytenoid dislocation group. There were significant differences in NHR. CONCLUSION The acoustic parameters are effective parameters to measure the voice quality of patients with unilateral arytenoid dislocation and unilateral vocal fold paralysis. NHR is the most sensitive parameter in the distinction of vocal cord paralysis and arytenoid dislocation.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the classification of twin reversed arterial perfusion(TRAP) by prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, and to explore the clinical significance of this classification method.Methods:One hundred and fourteen TRAP cases were selected for prenatal ultrasound examination from January 2001 to January 2020 in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province, and were studied following the classification: hemiacardius(type Ⅰ), anceps trunk(type Ⅱ), acephalus trunk(type Ⅲ), acephalus acormus(type Ⅳ), acardius amorphous(type Ⅴ). Natural pregnancy outcomes were analyzed between group A(type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ, type Ⅲ) and group B(type Ⅳ, type Ⅴ).Results:Among 114 cases of TRAP, 27 cases (23.7%) were live birth, 33 cases (29.0%) were intrauterine death, 7 cases (6.1%) were perinatal death, 22 cases (19.3%) were induced labor complicated with heart failure, 4 cases (3.5%) were induced labor with malformation of pump twin, 21 cases (18.4%) were induced without heart failure of pump twim. Among 114 cases of TRAP, 20 cases (17.5%) were type Ⅰ, 27 cases (23.7%) were type Ⅱ, 48 cases (42.1%) were type Ⅲ, 8 cases (7.0%) were type Ⅳ and 11 cases (9.7%) were type Ⅴ. The prognosis of group B was better than group A during natural pregnancy ( P=0.007). Conclusions:Based on the diagnosis of prenatal ultrasound, the prognosis of type Ⅳ and type Ⅴ TRAP is better than that of type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ. The classification by prenatal ultrasound has positive significance for the clinical prognosis of pump twin.

Objective:To investigate the neonatal outcomes and prognosis of fetuses who were prenatally diagnosed with intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH) to provide evidence for clinical consultation and management.Methods:Clinical data of fetal IVH cases ( n=89) diagnosed by fetal neurosonogram (NSG) in Peking University First Hospital from January 2012 to April 2020 were retrospectively collected, and neonatal outcomes were analyzed, involving fetuses with different grades of IVH and coexisting abnormalities. These patients were followed up for more than three months after birth. Two child development screening systems, Ages & Stages Questionnaires (Third Edition) (ASQ-3) and Ages & Stages Questionnaires: Social-Emotional (ASQ-SE), were used to assess the development of the patients from several aspects including physical growth, oral communication, motor ability and social emotions. Descriptive statistical analysis was used in this study. Results:(1) A total of 89 fetuses were enrolled and 66.3% (59/89) of them underwent fetal cranial MRI examination after ultrasound diagnosis. Among these 59 cases, 32(54.2%) had the same results with fetal NSG; 20(33.9%) with the diagnosis of remote ventricular cystic hemorrhage by fetal NSG, but misdiagnosed by MRI, were all confirmed by neonatal craniocerebral ultrasound; 7(11.9%) were lost to follow-up or terminated. In addition to IVH that was consistent with the ultrasound diagnosis, MRI also found three cases of cortical malformation, three cases of subdural hemorrhage and two cases of cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage. (2) Among the 89 cases, 37 (41.6%) underwent neonatal craniocerebral ultrasound examination after birth showing small amount of remote IVH, which was consistent with previous fetal NSG diagnosis. (3) There were 38 cases complicated by lateral ventricular widening (three lost to follow-up, 18 were terminated , one died in uterus, 15 with good and one with poor outcome), 10 cases by severe IVH sequelae (one lost to follow-up and nine were terminated) and 10 by craniocerebral malformation (one lost to follow-up, eight were terminated and one with poor neonatal prognosis). Two cases with extracranial malformation (ureteropelvic junction obstruction) were healthy after birth. (4) There were 29, 30, 16 and 14 cases of gradeⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ andⅣ of fetal IVH, respectively. Among all cases, 12 were lost to follow-up; three died in uterus (all with gradeⅣ IVH); 31 were terminated and 43 were born and followed up. During the follow-up of the 43 cases, two (one grade Ⅰ case with corpus callosum dysplasia and one grade Ⅲ case with fetal cytomegalovirus infection) had poor prognosis, while the other 41 (one gradeⅢ, 17 gradeⅡ and 23 gradeⅠcases) showed no severe abnormalities.Conclusions:Fetal NSG is the first choice in screening fetal IVH and MRI can be a valuable aid. The neonatal prognosis may be associated with the grade of hemorrhage and coexisting abnormalities. Fetuses with isolated grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ IVH usually have a relatively good prognosis.
