OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of the DNA integrity of optimized sperm on the embryonic development and clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET).

METHODSThis study included 605 cycles of conventional IVF-ET for pure oviductal infertility performed from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014. On the day of retrieval, we examined the DNA integrity of the sperm using the sperm chromatin dispersion method. According to the ROC curve and Youden index, we grouped the cycles based on the sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) threshold value for predicting implantation failure, early miscarriage, and fertilization failure, followed by analysis of the correlation between DFI and the outcomes of IVF-ET.

RESULTSAccording to the DFI threshold values obtained, the 605 cycles fell into four groups (DFI value < 5%, 5-10%, 10-15%, and ≥ 15%). Statistically significant differences were observed among the four groups in the rates of fertilization, cleavage, high-quality embryo, implantation, clinical pregnancy, early miscarriage, and live birth (P < 0.05), but not in the rates of multiple pregnancy, premature birth, and low birth weight (P > 0.05). DFI was found to be correlated negatively with the rates of fertilization (r = -0.32, P < 0.01), cleavage (r = -0.19, P < 0.01), high-quality embryo (r = -0.40, P < 0.01), clinical pregnancy (r = -0.20, P < 0.01), and live birth (r = -0.09 P = 0.04), positively with the rate of early miscarriage (r = 0.23, P < 0.01), but not with the rates of multiple pregnancy (r = -0.01, P = 0.83), premature birth (r = 0.04, P = 0.54), and low birth weight (r = 0.03, P = 0.62).

CONCLUSIONThe DNA integrity of optimized sperm influences fertilization, embryonic development, early miscarriage, and live birth of IVF-ET, but its correlation with premature birth and low birth weight has to be further studied.

Bilingual teaching is one of education reform in China.The essay analyzed the necessity of bilingual teaching and clarified the reason why it can procced in microbiology.Search after the way in microbiology course according to the character of college in western China.The practice accumulated experience for bilingual teaching.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the values of the sperm deformity index (SDI), acrosome abnormity rate (AAR), and DNA fragmentation index (DFI) of optimized sperm in the prediction of fertilization failure (fertilization rate < 25%) in conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF).

METHODSWe selected 695 cycles of conventional IVF for pure oviductal infertility in this study, including 603 cycles of normal fertilization and 92 cycles of fertilization failure. On the day of oocyte retrieval, we examined sperm morphology, acrosome morphology, and DNA fragmentation using the Diff-Quik, PSA-FITC and SCD methods. We established the joint predictor (JP) by logistic equation and analyzed the values of different parameters in predicting fertilization failure with the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

RESULTSThe fertilization rate was negatively correlated with SDI (r = - 0.07; P = 0.03), AAR (r = -0.49; P < 0.01), and DFI (r = -0. 21; P < 0.01). The SDI, AAR, and DFI in the normal fertilization group were 1.24 ± 0.20, (7.75 ± 2.28)%, and (7.87 ± 3.15)%, and those in the fertilization failure group were 1.42 ± 0.15, (12.02 ± 3.06)%, and (13.32 ± 4.13)%, respectively, all with statistically significant differences between the two groups (P < 0.05). SDI, AAR, and DFI were all risk factors of fertilization failure ( OR = 2.68, 14.11, and 3.85; P = 0.01, < 0.01, and < 0.01). The areas under the ROC curves for SDI, AAR, DFI, and JP were 0.651 ± 0.033, 0.895 ± 0.019, 0.789 ± 0.022, and 0.915 ± 0.017, respectively. According to the Youden index, the optimal cut-off values of SDI, AAR, and DFI obtained for the prediction of fertilization failure were approximately 1.45, 10%, and 12%.

CONCLUSIONThe SDI, AAR and DFI of optimized sperm are closely associated with the fertilization rate, and all have the value for predicting fertilization failure in IVF. The AAR is more valuable than the other single predictors, but JP is more effective than the AAR.

Objective To assesse the quality of life of patients after cardiac pacemaker implantation using the Chinese version of SF-36.Methods Ninety-eight patients with permanent cardiac pacemaker implantation were investigated before and after the operation in terms of quality of life by using the Chinese version SF-36.Results Successful surgery was performed on all the 98 patients.The previous symptoms of the patients were improved to vari- ous extend after the operation.The quality of life of the patients was significantly improved after operation as demon- strated by the significant difference of the scores in 9 domains of SF-36 when compared with those before the operation (P

A high active soybean isoflavone glucoside hydrolase-producing mould strain was isolated from spirit qu. Its optimal hydrolase-producing conditions were as follows: 2.5% wheat bran as carbon source, 1% NaNO3 as nitrogen source, initial pH7. 0, culture medium volume 40mL/250mL, inoculating quantity 8% , culture temperature 30℃, revolutions 160r/min and culture time 84h. The enzyme activity reached 82 U/mL. Cu2+ can inhibit Absidia sp. R strain from producing the hydrolase, the influence of other metal ions was not remarkable on it.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of early minimally invasive catheterization continuous abdominal lavage and drainage in treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) .Methods:170 SAP patients admitted to Quzhou People’s Hospital from Jan. 2016 to Jun. 2020 were divided into the observation group and the control group, with 85 cases in each group, according to the random number table method. The control group received comprehensive medical treatment, while the observation group received early minimally invasive catheterization continuous abdominal lavage and drainage intervention based on the control group. The efficacy and complications after 1 week of treatment were evaluated. Besides, the intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and acute physiology and chronic health II (APACHEII) were scored, liver and lung function indexes [oxygenation indexes, oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) , aspartate aminotransferase (AST) , alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ], and inflammation indexes [C-reactive protein (CRP) , tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) , macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) ] were measured before and 1 week after the treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the treatment in the observation group was 91.77%, which was significantly higher than 77.65% in the control group ( P<0.05) . The level of IAP, APACHEII score, AST, ALT, CRP, TNF-α, MIP-1α of the two groups after 1 week of treatment decreased significantly compared with those before treatment, while the oxygenation index and PaO 2 increased significantly. The levels of IAP, APACHEII score, AST, ALT, CRP, TNF-α, and MIP-1α in the observation group were lower than those in the control group after 1 week of treatment, while the oxygenation index and PaO 2 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . The incidence rates of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) , sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) in the observation group were: 8.24%, 11.76% and 15.29%, significantly lower than 21.18%, 29.41% and 30.59% in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Early minimally invasive catheterization continuous abdominal lavage and drainage in treatment of SAP is safe and effective, which can significantly inhibit pro-inflammatory factors, and protect liver and lung function.
