Objectives To study pregnant outcomes of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET),and analyze the differences of pregnant outcomes in patients with various phenotypes of PCOS.Methods From Jan.2005 to Feb.2010,631 PCOS patients (PCOS group)and 1423 patients with tubal infertility (control group) who underwent IVF-ET with matched age and body mass index were selected in Center for Reproductive Medicine of the Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University.Retrospective study was carried out,and pregnancy outcomes were compared between two groups.Results The rates of abortion and preterm birth in PCOS group were significantly higher than those in control group [22.7％ ( 143/631 ) vs.18.69％ (266/1423) and 11.2％ (38/339) vs.6.4％ (51/794) respectively,all P ＜0.05 ].The rates of gestational diabetes mellitus were 1.5％ (5/339) in PCOS and 0.6％ (5/794) in control group,respectively; the rates of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome were 4.7％ (16/339) in PCOS and 3.0％ (24/794) in control group; gestational days were(272 ± 13) days in PCOS and(273 ± l0)days in control group; the rates of neonatal deformity were 0.6％ (2/339) in PCOS and O.8％ (6/794) in control group; weight of newborn infants in the two groups was(3.5 ±0.5 ) kg; and there was no significant difference between two groups in the above index ( all P ＞ O.05 ).Ovulatory PCOS patients had similar abortion rate [ 18.6％ (19/102) ] and preterm birth rate [ 8.2％ (4/49) ] when compared with those of control group (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conversely,oligo-ovulatory PCOS patients showed higher abortion rate [ 23.4％ ( 124/529 ) ] and preterm birth rate [ 11.7％ (34/290) ] than those of control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions PCOS patients after IVF-ET have an increased abortion rate and preterm birth rate.However,ovulatory PCOS did not present various pregnancy complications.Non-polycystic ovary PCOS patients have worse pregnancy outcome.Ovarian dysfunction might be related to obstetric complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram on early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of brain injury caused by neonatal asphyxia.Methods A total of 34 full-term asphyxiated neonates(asphyxia group)hospitalized in NICU of our hospital from January 2015 to September 2015 were selected;meanwhile,34 full-term healthy infants(control group)of the same term were selected.All cases were monitored for the activities of aEEG background,sleep-awakening cycle(SWC)and epileptic activity(SA)within 6 hours after birth.Meanwhile,the relationships between various indexes and asphyxia degree and brain injury were analyzed.Results The electroencephalogram of the asphyxia group was 52.9％and the rate of SWC was 58.8％,which were lower than those of the control group,and the difference had statistic significance(P<0.05).Meanwhile,neonates with epileptic activity in asphyxia group accounted for 11.8％,which was higher than that of control group significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The AEEG changes of neonates at early period after birth are closely related to perinatal asphyxia and brain injury after asphyxia.The application of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram has an important significance on early diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia.

Objective To verify the feasibility of discriminating tissue types in the anterior approach of the cervical spine by the Electrical impedance (EI) and decrease the rate of severe complications.Methods Six New Zealand white rabbits and 6 mini-pigs were performed standard anterior cervical surgery.The esophagus,carotid artery,tracheal cartilage,annular ligaments of trachea,longus colli muscle and anterior longitudinal ligament are classified as the prevertebral group;The cortical bone,cancellous bone,anulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus are classified as the vertebral group.Once all the tissues were exposed completely,over the frequency range of 200-3 000 kHz (the frequency points were 200 kHz,400 kHz,600 kHz,800 kHz,1 000 kHz,2 000 kHz,3 000 kHz),the in vivo EI of prevertebral group and vertebral group were measured by a probe and a precision inductance-capacitance-resistance (LCR) meter;then the data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 22 software.At every frequency,Kruskal-Wallis test followed by all pairwise multiple comparisons was applied for all the four groups (the prevertebral group of rabbits,the vertebral group of rabbits,the prevertebral group of mini-pigs,and the vertebral group of mini-pigs),respectively.P values ＜ 0.05 were considered statistically significant.Results At every frequency,the results of Kruskal-Wallis test for all the four groups were significant,and the results of multiple comparisons were as follows.(1) In both miniature experimental animals and large experimental animals,the EI of the vertebral group tissues was significantly different at every investigated frequency (multiple comparisons).(2) In the miniature experimental animals,the EI between longus colli muscle and esophagus,carotid artery and annular ligaments of trachea,and tracheal cartilage and anterior longitudinal ligament had no significant difference at any frequency (multiple comparisons);significant difference could not be detected in the EI between anterior longitudinal ligament and annular ligaments of trachea at the frequencies of 2000-3 000 kHz (multiple comparisonsk) and could be detected at the frequencies of 200-1 000 kHz (multiple comparisons);for comparison of all other paired tissues of prevertebral group there were significant differences at all frequencies (multiple comparisonsk).(3) In the large experimental animals,the EI between longus colli muscle and esophagus,carotid artery and annular ligaments of trachea,and tracheal cartilage and anterior longitudinal ligament had no significant difference at any frequency (multiple comparisons),the same was true for the EI between annular ligaments of trachea and esophagus,carotid artery and anterior longitudinal ligament,and longus colli muscle and annular ligaments of trachea at the frequencies of 800-3 000 kHz,3 000 kHz and 3 000 kHz (multiple comparisons),respectively;for comparison of all other paired tissues of prevertebral group there were significant differences at all frequencies (multiple comparisons).Conclusion At certain frequencies,the EI among tissues was significantly different and could discriminate tissues in the anterior approach of the cervical spine.

The lower the eGFR level ,the higher the risk of the 10y CVDR .

Objective To explore the changes of Sema3A and it′s receptor Npl in temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)rat brain and the roles in epileptogenesis mechanism.Methods TLE model was established with male healthy SD rats,in which mossy fiber sprouting(MFS)was verified using Neo-Timm staining method.Sema3A mRNA,Npl mRNA and protein was respectively analyzed by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization in the entorhinal cortex(EC)or dentate gyrus(DG)at different time after LiCL-PILO induced TLE.Results There were Mossy fiber sprouting(7d:0.70?0.42,15d:1.50?0.52,30 d:2.20 ?0.41,60 d:2.50?0.51)in DG inner molecular layer(IML)of TLE rat compared with those of controls (P

OBJECTIVETo study the diagnostic accuracy of hematolymphoid malignancy by using effusion fluid cytology specimens and to evaluate the values of immunocytochemistry for this assay.

METHODSThe cytospin preparations/smears and cell block sections of effusion cytology specimens from 33 cases of hematolymphoid malignancy were retrospectively reviewed. Immunocytochemical study was performed. In selected cases, in-situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA and immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor gene rearrangement study were carried out as indicated.

RESULTSThere were 33 cases of hematolymphoid malignancy, including 12 cases of T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, 16 cases of mature B cell neoplasm (including 9 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 2 cases of Burkitt lymphoma, 2 cases of plasmacytoma/multiple myeloma, 2 cases of B-small lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma and 1 case of mantle cell lymphoma), 3 cases of mature T or NK-cell neoplasm (including 1 case of extranodal nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma, 1 case of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and 1 case of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia), 1 case of myeloid sarcoma and 1 case of mast cell sarcoma. Amongst the 33 cases studied, 16 represented disease relapses, including 8 cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, 2 cases of plasmacytoma/multiple myeloma, 2 cases of B-small lymphocytic leukemia/lymphoma, 1 case of T-lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, 1 case of angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, 1 case of mantle cell lymphoma and 1 case of mast cell sarcoma. The remaining 17 cases showed serous effusion as the primary manifestation, with the diagnosis primarily made upon cytologic examination. The cytologic findings seen in all the 33 cases studied were in agreement with the corresponding histologic diagnosis.

CONCLUSIONSDiagnosis of hematolymphoid malignancy by effusion fluid cytology specimens is possible, especially when coupled with the clinical history, immunophenotype, in-situ hybridization and gene rearrangement study findings. This is especially so for cases with disease relapses.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the potential value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)elastography in the characterization of solid liver tumors.MethodsForty-three patients with 56 liver tumors were evaluated with ARFI,which included 21 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),8 patients with metastase,5 patients with cholangiocarcinoma(CCC),and 9 patients with hemangioma.The shear wave velocity of the tumor and background liver parenchyma were calculated,and results were compared with 30 healthy subjects.Statistical analysis was performed on the shear wave velocity for differentiation of normal liver,background liver parenchyma,and tumors.ResultsHCC and CCC had greater stiffness than metastase (P ＜0.05),there were no statistical differences between HCC and CCC (P = 0.179).Malignant liver tumors had significantly greater stiffness than hemangioma and normal liver (P = 0.000).34.5% (9/26) HCC and 33.3% (4/12) hemangioma appeared softer than the background liver.With a cut-off value of 1.5 m/s for the shear wave velocity,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value for malignancies were 79.5%,83.3%,94.5% and 52.6%,respectively.ConclusionsARFI elastography quantification is a promising noninvasive technique for assessing solid liver tumors.Use of ARFI elastography quantification may lead to new quantitative tissue characterization parameters for differentiating hemangioma and malignant liver tumors.

Objective Detrusor overactivity (DO) is one known cause of overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).In this study,OAB symptoms suggestive of DO in BPH were treated with α1-blocker monotherapy or α1-blocker and antimuscarinics add-on therapy,and the efficacy and safety were assessed.Methods BPH patients who suffered from OAB symptoms for at least 3 month were enrolled in a prospective self-control study from August 2010 to April 2012.The inclusion criteria are total international prostate symptom score (IPSS) ≥8,OAB Symptom Score (OABSS) ≥3,OABSS urgency score ≥2,Postvoid residual volume (PVR) ＜ 100 ml,and maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) ≥ 5 ml/s.All the patients who met the inclusion criteria were treated with α1-blocker ( tamsulosin 0.2 mg/day or doxazosin 4 mg/day) for 2 weeks.After 2 weeks,patients with no symptomatic improvement ( OABSS≥3) underwent pressure-flow test,and those whose Pdet≥ 40 cm H2O and DO presented more than one time were added antimuscarinics (solifenacin 5 mg/day or tolterodine 4 mg/day) for an additional 2 weeks.OABSS,IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR were re-evaluated every 2 weeks.Results Ninety-four cases of BPH/OAB patients met the inclusion criteria and completed 4 weeks treatment.The baseline of total OABSS was 7.0 ± 1.3,IPSS was 17.0 ± 1.7,QOL was 5.0 ±0.7,Qmax was (8.8 ±2.5) ml/s and PVR was (86.0 ± 16.5) ml.After 2 weeks treatment with α1-blocker alone,OABSS was 5.2 ± 0.8,IPSS was 14.2 ± 1.9,QOLwas4.O±0.8,Qmaxwas (11.4±2.4) ml/s and PVR was (67.9±12.9) ml.After another2 weeks treatment with α1-blocker plus antimuscarinics,OABSS was 3.1 ± 0.8,IPSS was 11.1 ± 1.9,QOL was 3.1 ± 0.7,Qmax was ( 10.8 ± 2.4) ml/s and PVR was (71.8 ± 11.9 ) ml.Compared with baseline values,OABSS,IPSS,QOL,Qmax and PVR significantly improved (P ＜ 0.01 ) in α1-blocker monotherapy group and α1-blocker plus antimuscarinic group.The improvement of OABSS,IPSS,QOL scores of α1-blocker plus antimuscarinic group were greater than α1-blocker monotherapy group (p ＜ 0.05 ),while Qmax and PVR showed no differences between the two groups.No acute urinary retention (AUR) was deteted.Conclusion Both of α1-blocker monotherapy and α1-blocker with antimuscarinics add-on therapy can improve OAB symptoms.

Objective To investigate the effect of depression symptoms on surgical outcome of posterior decompression among cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients. Methods Between October 2006 and October 2011 in our hospital, lami?nectomy or laminoplasty was performed in 396 cases that were enrolled in the study. There were 132 males and 264 females with an average age of 60.2 years(ranged,39-84 years). All patients were divided into depression group and non?depressed group by the 21?item Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in age, sex, smok?ing status, duration of symptoms, and employment status (whether in the current working). The Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores, Neck disability index (NDI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were compared after 1.5 months postoperatively. Re?sults All of 396 cases were followed up. The mean follow up duration was 32 months (range,24-50 months). There were no statistically significant differences in the CCI decline (7.1%±2.1% versus 6.8%±1.5%), expansion degree[(130.9±7.0) mm2 versus (150.8 ± 5.2) mm2] and the drift?back distance of the spinal cord [(5.7 ± 1.2) mm versus (6.2 ± 0.8) mm]. However, pa?tients with continuous depression showed poorer improvement than non?depressed patients in the surgery outcome: JOA im?proved (1.42±0.56 versus 6.76±3.12); NDI declined (7.31±2.18 versus 21.11±11.36); and VAS lightened (16.08±19.76 versus 23.85±20.79). Conclusion Depression contributed a dissatisfied surgery outcome after posterior decompression on functional re?covery, disability index and pain scores among patients of the cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
