Objective:To investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinical pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Methods:A total of 650 patients with PCOS who received routine in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment for frozen-thawed embryo transfer from June 2014 to June 2019 in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics were retrospectively analyzed. According to BMI, PCOS patients were divided into group A (18.5≤BMI<23 kg/m 2, n=253), group B (23≤BMI<25 kg/m 2, n=167), and group C (BMI≥25 kg/m 2, n=230). The general information, clinical pregnancy outcomes, pregnancy complications, the incidence of macrosomia and low-birth-weight infants were compared in the three groups, and the influencing factors of neonatal birth weight were analyzed. Results:The embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate all showed downward trend with the increase of BMI, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The live birth rate in group C [47.0% (108/230)] was significantly lower than those in groups A and B, with statistical significance ( χ2 =7.43, P=0.024). The late miscarriage rate was higher in group C [9.4% (13/139)] than in groups A and B ( χ2 =7.66, P=0.022). The birth rates of macrosomia in groups B [22.2% (16/72)] and group C [21.1% (16/76)] were significantly higher than that in group A, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 =14.15, P=0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of gestational diabetes between the three groups ( χ2 =3.81, P=0.149). The incidence of hypertension disorders complicating pregnancy increased with the increase of BMI, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Regression analysis showed that macrosomia was significantly associated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weeks, and the risk of macrosomia increased by 15% (95% CI: 3%-28%) for every increase in maternal BMI. Conclusions:The embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate of PCOS patients in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles show downward trend with the increase of BMI. Obese patients with PCOS have a significant increase in late miscarriage rate and a significant decrease in live birth rate. The incidence of hypertension disorders complicating pregnancy in PCOS patients in the obese group has an increasing trend, and the birth rate of macrosomia has increased significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that obese women with PCOS lose weight scientifically before pregnancy to improve pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.

Objective To establish a high-throughput screening system to obtain key Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus)secretory proteins which required for S.aureus survival in macrophages.Methods Based on our validated eukaryotic expression vector library of S.aureus secretory proteins,DNA transfection was used to obtain an RAW264.7 macrophage array expressing S.aureus secretory proteins.After the RAW264.7 cells were infected with S.aureus,the extracellular bacteria were removed to observe the intracellular surviving situation of S.aureus.Finally,the screening results were validated by the overexpression and knockout S.aureus of corresponding secretory proteins.Results The optimal transfection dose (1.0 μg/well)of plasmids for RAW264.7,multiplicity of infection (MOI,1 .0 ),and infection time (4 h after removing extracellular bacteria of S.aureus ) were established respectively.To validate the screening results,the corresponding overexpression and knockout strains were constructed.And hypothetical protein and Serine protease E were found to promote the survival of intracellular S.aureus.Conclusion We successfully construct a screening system for key secreted secretory proteins which required for S.aureus surviving in macrophages,which may advance the study of the intracellular surviving mechanism of S.aureus.

Objective To investigate the effect of the number of previous spontaneous abortions on the first in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle. Methods A retrospective case?control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 1 279 patients who received IVF/ICSI treatment for the first time from July 2014 to July 2018 in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics;they were divided into 0 time group (group A, n=924), 1 time group (group B, n=267) and 2 times group (group C, n=88) for comparison, according to the previous frequency of spontaneous abortions. Results There were no statistically significant differences in age, basal testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, prolactin and embryo quality in group A, B and C (all P>0.05). The biochemical pregnancy rate of group C (9.1%) was higher than those of the other two groups (4.1% and 4.1%; all P>0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate of group A (42.5%) [>group B (40.4%) and>group C (35.2%)] was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Early abortion rate in group A (8.9%) was0.05). Conclusions Women with a history of one? or two?time spontaneous abortion have no obvious effect on embryo quality, and have a negative impact of clinical pregnancy rate, early abortion rate, live birth rate in the first IVF/ICSI cycle; especially for patients with a history of two times spontaneous abortion, early abortion rate has a significant increase, live birth rate decreases significantly, suggesting that patients with a history of two times of spontaneous abortion should find the causes of miscarriage according to the process of recurrent spontaneous miscarriage and receive treatment if necessary before subsequent pregnancy.
