Objective To Study the effect of thyroid peroxidase-Ab (TPO-Ab) on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) ending. Methods From March 2011 to October 2013, a total of 378 assisted reproduction cycles in Reproductive Medical Center of Qinghai Provincial People ’s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed in. Experiment group included 69 cycles from patients with positive thyroid peroxidase antibody and normal thyroid function and control group 309 cycles from those with negative thyroid peroxidase antibody and normal thyroid function. Results IVF fertility rate (79.76%) and high quality embryo rate (46.59%) in experiment group were significantly lower than those in control group (84.08%, 54.49% respectively) and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05); abortion rate (33.33%) in experiment group was obviously higher than that in control group (16.11%), which was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion Positive thyroid peroxidase antibody exerts adverse effects on IVF-ET ending since TPO-Ab reduces IVF fertilization rate and high quality embryo rate and increases the rate of abortion.

Objective To study basic thyroid stimulating hormone (bTSH) levels impact on outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in Qinghai.Methods Totally 282 cases with IVF cycles and 93 cases with ICSI cycles were studied prospectively,according to bTSH level,patients were divided into four groups.Reproduction rate,clinical pregnancy rate,miscarriage rate and live birth rate were studied among four groups.Results (1) In 375 cases with IVF/ICSI cycles,bTSH was positively correlated with abortion rate (r=0.42,P=0.04),but live birth rate and growing rate showed negative correlations with bTSH (r=-0.42,-0.28; P=0.04,0.03).bTSH and the number of eggs,the number of fertilized eggs,the number of embryos,biochemical pregnancy rate,and clinical pregnancy rate were no significant correlation (all P>0.05).(2) Among women at group of ≤1.7,>1.7 and ≤2.5,>2.5 and ≤3.5,>3.5 mU/L,the implantation rates were 28.7%,27.3%,37.7% and 19.2%,live birth rates were 80.9%,75.0%,82.7%,and 59.8%,abortion rates were 19.0%,15.0%,16.7%,40.1%; they all showed significant difference (all P<0.05).Abortion rate in women with high bTSH level was higher than that of women with lower bTSH level,however implantation rate,live birth rate in women with high bTSH level were lower.Conclusion When bTSH level is >3.5 mU/L,the abortion rate were increased,but live birth rate,rate of implantation were decreased.

Objective:To investigate the positive rates of 2019-nCoV nucleic acid in different specimens from confirmed COVID-19 cases during hospitalization and after discharge.Methods:Patients with confirmed COVID-19 were enrolled from designated hospitals. Nasal swabs, throat swabs, and specimens of stool, urine and blood were collected during hospitalization. After the patients were discharged, nasal swabs, throat swabs and stool specimens were collected during follow-up. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect 2019-nCoV nucleic acid.Results:This study involved 25 confirmed COVID-19 cases. During hospitalization, all patients tested positive in both nasal and throat swab 2019-nCoV nucleic acid tests, and nine of them (36.00%) were positive in stool specimen test. Urine and blood specimen test results were all negative. Nasal swabs, throat swabs and stool specimens were collected from each patient 7 d and 14 d after discharge. Two patients (8.00%) tested positive for 2019-nCoV nucleic acid again in nasal and throat swab tests on 7 d, while all stool specimen tests were negative. No 2019-nCoV nucleic acid was detected in nasal swabs, throat swabs or stool samples on 14 d.Conclusions:2019-nCoV nucleic acid was detected in stool samples of confirmed COVID-19 cases during hospitalization. Nasal and throat swab nucleic acid tests turned positive again in some patients after discharge.
