Objective To explore the correlation between the sperm indicators and early spontaneous abortion after in vitro ferti ‐lization(IVF) .Methods 251 couples receiving IVF ,were retrospectively analyzed and divided into the research group (98 couples) and control group (153 couples) according to whether spontaneous abortion occurring .The male′s indicators of sperm DNA frag‐mentation index (DFI) ,sperm nucleoprotein immaturity rate ,percentage of normally morphologic sperms ,etc .in the two groups were analyzed .Results DFI ,percentage of normally morphologic sperms ,sperm concentration ,motility and forward motile sperm had no statistical differences between the research group and the control group (P> 0 .05) ;while the sperm nucleoprotein immaturi‐ty rate of the research group was significantly higher than that of control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P <0 .05) ;the sperm nucleoprotein immaturity rate had weak correlation with spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy (P < 0 .05) . Conclusion The sperm nucleoprotein dysmaturity is correlated with the spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy .The sperm nucle‐oprotein immaturity rate could be used to evaluate the risk of spontaneous abortion in early pregnancy after IVF .

Objective To study the effect and mechanisms of berberine (BBR) on the proliferation of papillary thyroid cancer K1 cells induced by high glucose.Methods K1 cells were cultured under 5.5 mmol/L or 25 mmol/L glucose condition with or without different concentration of BBR (0,10,40 and 80 μmol/L) for 24 hours.The proliferations of K1 cells in each condition were detected by MTT.Western blot was used to measure the expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrt2),phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K),protein kinase B (Akt) and phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt).The distribution pattern of Nrf2 in K1 cells was determined using immunofluorescent staining.Results Compared with 5.5 mmol/L condition,the proliferation rate [(126.64 ± 5.41) % vs (87.31 ± 3.67) %],expression levels of PI3K (0.425 ±0.019 vs 0.272 ±0.039),p-Akt/Akt (0.446 ±0.021 vs 0.168 ±0.035) and Nrf2 (0.597 ± 0.014 vs 0.308 ± 0.026),and Nrf2 distribution (93.0% vs 23.1%) in nuclear of K 1 cells under 25 mmol/L condition were significantly elevated,respectively (all P <0.01).Addition of BBR in 25 mmol/L condition dose dependently (10,40,80 μmol/L) lowered the proliferation rate of K1 cells [(111.76 ± 4.10)%,(70.03 ±2.18)%,(32.41 ±3.76)% vs (126.64 ±5.41)%,all P<0.05],and suppressed the expression of PI3K,p-Akt/Akt,Nrf2,and Nrf2 nuclear distribution (P < 0.05).Conclusions BBR dose dependently inhibited the proliferation of high glucose-induced K1 cells.This effect was associated with the suppression on of PI3K/Akt signaling activation,Nrf2 expression and its nuclear translocation.

Objective To explore the effects of husband and wife joint education model on marriage adjustment and birth and quality of life in female patients with infertility. Methods Totally 360 sterile females who received In Vitro Fertilization-Embryo Transfer (IVF-ET) in the Fertility Dpartment of a Class Ⅲ Grade A hospital in Wenzhou were selected using convenient sampling from June to August 2018. The study subjects were randomly divided into intervention (n=180) and control (n=180) groups. The conventional nursing method was used in the control group, and the husband and wife joint education model was applied in the intervention group after the conventional nursing. On the basis of transplantation, the dyadic adjustment scale and birth and quality of life scale were used before the patients were discharged to compare the result of marriage adjustment and birth and quality of life in the two groups. Results The martial adjustment score and birth and quality of life score in the intervention group scored (114.56±20.64) and (68.05±15.18) respectively, both higher than those of the control group, and there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions Husband and wife joint education model can not only promote the intimate relationship between patients and their spouse, but also improve their quality of life, which is worth applying in the clinical care of patients with infertility.

Objective:To investigate the safety of the Triple-P procedure in women complicated with severe placenta accreta spectrum disorders (PAS) and its influence on second pregnancy.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2017, the outcomes of the second pregnancy after the Triple-P procedure in 11 pregnant women complicated with PAS in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:By December 2021, a total of 11 pregnant women who underwent the Triple-P procedure for PAS had a second pregnancy, with a median interval of 3 years (2-3 years). Of the 11 pregnant women, 7 delivered after 36 weeks of gestation. The median gestational age was 38 weeks, and 4 terminated within the first trimester. PAS recurred in 1 of 7 pregnant women (1/7) and was associated with placenta previa. All of the 7 pregnant women were delivered by cesarean section, with a median postpartum blood loss of 300 ml (200-450 ml), and only one pregnant woman required blood transfusion. None of the pregnant women were transferred to the intensive care unit, and there were no uterine rupture, bladder injury, puerperal infection, and neonatal adverse outcomes.Conclusion:Pregnant women who underwent the Triple-P procedure for severe PAS could be considered for second pregnancy with strictly management by an experienced multidisciplinary team, which may result in a good outcome.
