Objective:To figure out the clinical factors contributing to the oocytes utility rate (OUR) of high responders in in vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer treatment.Methods:OUR was defined by the number of usable embryos for transfer and (or) cryopreservation divided by the number of oocytes retrieved in a freeze-all cycle. The cycles with ≥15 eggs were included from January 2013 to December 2019. Those with OUR at the top 10% (Group A) and the bottom 10% (Group B) were picked and compared for patients′ characteristics, parameters relating to ovary stimulation and pregnant outcomes. Multifactorial logistic regression was applied to reveal the risk factors affecting OUR in them.Results:A total of 43 patients were included in Group A (OUR: 77.4%, 601/776) and 47 for Group B (OUR: 11.9%, 104/874). Previous IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI; OR=0.10, 95% CI: 0.01-0.81) and endometriosis ( OR=0.16, 95% CI: 0.03-0.84) were negative factors for OUR ( P<0.05); dual suppression protocol ( OR=3.74, 95% CI: 1.06-26.86) and longer days of stimulation ( OR=3.24, 95% CI: 1.25-8.42) were protective factors in terms of ovarian stimulation ( P<0.05), on contrary to that, any decline of estradiol during the stimulation led to poorer OUR ( OR=0.16, 95% CI: 0.04-0.64). Although two groups had similar quantities of eggs and metaphase of meiosis Ⅱ (MⅡ) oocytes, distinguished cumulative clinical pregnancy rate and cumulative live birth rate were seen in Group A and group B respectively [95.3% (41/43) vs 40.4% (19/47) and 90.7% (39/43) vs 31.9% (15/47), all P<0.01]. Conclusions:High responders with attempted IVF/ICSI and endometriosis should be considered as risk factors for OUR. Over ovarian stimulation, dual suppression and a slightly longer stimulating duration could be tried; besides, estradiol decline should be prevented for a better OUR.

Objective To study the relationship between occupational stress and metal health of radiation workers.Methods Totally 220 radiation workers were investigated by Chinese perceived stress scales questionnaire,Chinese health questionnaire-12,as well as questionnaire related to radiology.Results The stress score of radiation worker with senior title was 18.18 ± 6.12,which was the lowest of all 220 participants.There was positive relationship between stress score and health score (r =0.484).19.1％ of the workers sometimes felt stressed due to the danger of work.Conclusions There are some significantly correlation between occupational stress and metal disorder.More attention should be paid on the occupational stress.Positive measures such as decompression and psychological intervention will be helpful to protect physical and mental health of radiation workers.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic responses to transsphenoidal surgery and medical therapy in terms of normalization of prolactin(PRL),mortality,morbidity and the cost-effectiveness of PRL normalization in order to establish an individualized therapeutic protocol for the patients with prolactinoma.Methods A retrospective study was undertaken of a consecutive series of patients with prolactinoma who were followed for at least 1 year after transsphenoidal surgery or medical treatment.The clinical characteristics and the long-term outcomes(normalization of PRL,morbidity or mortality)were assessed.Utilizing the principle of medical economics and data from the two types of treatment,we worked out a Markov chain and calculated the lowest cost of two kinds of therapeutic protocols.Results(1)The success rate of normalizing serum PRL through surgical treatment in microadenoma was 85%(22/26),and that of medical treatment was 95%(19/20).There was no statistical difference between the two therapies(P＞0.05).The success rate of normalizing serum PRL through surgical treatment in macroadenoma was45%(19/42),and that of medical treatment was 5/5.There was a statistical difierence between the two therapies(P＜0.05).(2)According to the Markov model,it would cost a microprolactinoma patient 25 129.25 yuan to normalize serum PRL by surgical treatment.This is comparable to the cost of medical treatment which would be 24 943.99 yuan.Whereas for a macroprolactinoma patient surgery would cost 35 208.20 yuan and medical treatment would cost 25 344.38 yuan.Conclusions Medical therapy is superior to surgical treatment in regard to complication rate and cost-effectiveness for macro-and extra big prolactinomas.Transsphenoidal surgery remains an option for patients with microadenomas.Markov model is an effective way to predict the treatment cost for patients with hyperprolactinoma at different ages and with different canses

Objecfive To investigate the expression of erbB4 and PTEN in cutaneous squarnous cell carcinoma(SCC)tissue and their significance.Methods Immunohistochemical Elivision method was used to measure the protein expression of erbB4 and PTEN in tissue specimens from 52 patients with SCC (11 cases with and 41 cases without lymph node metastasis)and 10 normal human controls.Results The positivity rate of erbB4 was significantly higher in the patients with SCC than in the normal human controls (75%vs.10%,x2=12.77,P<0.01),and in the patients with lymph node metastasis than in those without (100%vs.68.29%,P<0.05).Significant differences were also observed in the expression rate of PTEN between the patients with SCC and the normal controls (48.08%vs.100%,x2=9.20,P<0.01),between the patients with well-differentiated SCC and those with poody differentiated SCC(78.57%vs.36.84%,P<0.05),and between the patients with lymph node metastasis and those without (9.09%vs.58.54%,P<0.01).The expression of erbB4 was negatively correlated with that of PTEN (r=-0.42.P<0.01).Conclusion The disturbalice in mutual regulation between erbB4 and FIEN seems to be involved in the initiation.progression and metastasis of SCC.

Objective To detect the expression of E-cadherin and ?-catenin in breast carcinoma and analyze the relationship between E-cadherin and ?-catenin and the clinicopathological features. Methods The expression of E-cadherin and ?-catenin in breast cancer, paracarcinoma breast tissue, simple mastoplasia and atypical mastoplasia were detected by immunohistochemical method and the results were compared. Results The abnormal expression rates of E-cadherin and ?-catenin in breast cancer tissue were 51.9% and 61.1 %,respectively. Abnormal expression of E-cadherin was significantly correlated with histological grade. Abnormal expression of ?-catenin was significantly correlated with TNM staging, axillary lymph nodes metastasis and postoperative distant metastasis. COX multiple factor analysis showed that neither E-cadherin nor ?-catenin expression was an independent indicator for the prognosis of breast cancer. Conclusions Abnormal expressions of E-cadherin and ?-catenin are correlated with occurrence and development of breast carcinoma. Abnormal expressions of E-cadherin and ?-catenin are good indicators to judge invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of imported coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ) cases from abroad to Zhejiang Province,so as to provide basis for improving the prevention and control of COVID-19 imported epidemic. Methods: The imported COVID-19 cases reported by Zhejiang Province from September 1, 2020 to January 28, 2021 were extracted from the National Diseases Prevention and Control Information System.The case information were checked with the field epidemiological investigation reports. A descriptive analysis was adopted for the epidemiological characteristics of the imported COVID-19 cases,including time,spatial and population distribution,import source, etc. Results: Zhejiang Province reported 136 cases of COVID-19 from abroad from September 1, 2020 to January 28, 2021, with 38 confirmed cases ( 27.94% ) and 98 asymptomatic cases ( 72.06% ). No deaths and related local cases were reported. A total of 10 confirmed cases and 58 asymptomatic cases were positive for nucleic acid tests at the port of entry, 7 cases were positive after the medical observation period, and the other cases were positive during the medical observation period. Cases were reported in each month. The age of the cases was mainly 20 to 39 years old, accounting for 61.03% (83 cases). The occupations were mainly business services, accounting for 33.09% ( 45 cases ). The 136 imported cases came from 32 countries, among which 26 cases came from Philippines. Most of the imported cases enter China through Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai. Conclusions The imported epidemic situation in Zhejiang Province is sporadic, with large proportion of asymptomatic infections. The imported cases are mainly business service providers and come from Philippines. Therefore, measures such as nucleic acid tests and isolation of entry personnel at ports should be strengthened to prevent the spread of the local epidemic caused by imported cases.

ObjectiveTo observe and compare the efficacy of two types of microencapsulated rat islets xenotransplanted into diabetic mice. MethodsThe mice diabetic model made with injecting 3% Streptozotosin through tail vein. Four groups were assigned: control group, naked islet transplantation group, alginate-BaCl2 microencapsulated islet transplantation group, agarose-PSSa microencapsulated islet transplantation group.300 islets were transplanted under the renal envelope of each diabetic mice respectively. ResultsThere were no significant difference in mean level of the blood glucose before transplantation among four groups. One week after transplantation, the respective mean level of the blood glucose in four groups were (7.26±1.56) mmol/L in alginate-BaCl2 microencapsulated islet transplantation group, (7.14±1.04) mmol/L in agarose-PSSa microencapsulated islet transplantation group, (7.42±1.52) mmol/L in naked islet transplantation group and (22.54±1.24) mmol/L in control. There were significant difference between the two encapsulated islet groups and the other two groups. The survived period of the two encapsulated islet transplantation groups were longer than that of the other two groups. The survived period of the alginate-BaCl2 microencapsulated islet transplantation group was longer than that of the agarose-PSSa microencapsulated islet transplantation group (92 d vs 56 d),the same as the time of keeping nomal blood glucose level (76 d vs 41 d). ConclusionMicroencapsulated rat islets with this two materials can survive in diabetic mice with their biological activity, and the alginate-BaCl2 microcapsules are better than the agarose-PSSa microcapsules.
