Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of Rivaroxaban and Warfarin in the treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.Methods From January to December 2015,51 patients of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb divided into.Warfarin group (21 cases) and Rivaroxaban group (30 cases).The time of each therapy lasted for 3 months or longer.The characteristics and the change of lower limb venous patency rate in two groups of patients were analyzed to evaluate the curative effect.Results Rivaroxaban group had shorter therapy time than Warfarin group.The lower limb venous patency rate in Rivaroxaban group were higher than that in Warfarin group (85.7% vs.60%,P <0.05).Ultrasonography showed partial patency in 5 mixed thrombus patients of Warfarin group,while complete patency in 2 and partial patency in 3 of Rivaroxaban group.Normalized rate in peripheral venous thrombosis patients of Rivaroxaban group were higher than Warfarin group (84% vs.25 % P < 0.001).Conclusions Rivaraxaban is superior to Warfarin in the complete recanalization of DVT,while safe and reliable.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET)for the first time.Methods The clinical data of 1 458 patients who underwent FET cycle-assisted pregnancy for the first time were retrospectively analyzed and divided into four groups according to clinical pregnancy and live bith outcomes.The clini-cal data were compared to analyze the factors affecting clinical pregnancy and live birth rates in FET cycles that were included in multiple logistic regression analysis.Results Of the 1458 cycles,the clinical pregnancy and live birth rates were 44.0% and 34.0%,respectively.The mean age of the clinical pregnancy and live birth groups was lower than that in non-clinical pregnancy and stillbirth groups(P<0.05).The clinical pregnancy and live birth rates of patients aged<35 years were higher than those aged≥35 years(P<0.05).The clinical preg-nancy and live birth rates of patients with≥8 mm endometrial thickness were higher than those with<8 mm endometrial thickness(P<0.05).The clinical pregnancy rate of natural cycles of endometrial preparation regimen was higher than that of HRT cycles(P<0.05).The clinical pregnancy and live birth rates of double-embryo transfers were higher than that of single-embryo transfers(P<0.05).The clinical pregnancy and live birth rates of blastocyst transfers were higher than those of cleavage stage(P<0.05).Conclusion Age,endometrial thickness,number of transplanted embryos,and embryo morphology were the independent factors influencing clinical pregnancy and live birth outcomes during FET cycle transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol(RES)on ovarian function in mice and elucidate the potential mechanism involving miR-23a.Methods Thirty mice were randomly divided into control,premature ovarian failure(POF)model,and treatment(RES)groups,with n=10 per group.The body weight and ovarian mass of the mice were measured,and the ovarian index was calculated.Hematoxylin and eosin staining was performed to observe pathological changes in mouse ovarian tissue.Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting were performed to measure the mRNA and protein levels of miR-23a,X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP),and caspase-3 in the ovarian tissue.Results Compared with the control group,the POF group exhibited significant decreases in ovarian mass(P<0.05),ovarian index(P<0.05),number of primary follicles,and XIAP mRNA expression(P<0.05),alongside significant increases in miR-23a and caspase-3 mRNA expression(P<0.05).Compared with the POF group,the RES group exhibited significant increases in the ovarian mass(P<0.05),ovarian index(P<0.05),number of primary follicles,and XIAP mRNA expression(P<0.05),as well as significant decreases in miR-23a and caspase-3 mRNA expression(P<0.05).XIAP protein expression was significantly lower and caspase-3 protein expression was significantly higher in the POF group than in the control group(P<0.05).Conversely,XIAP protein expression was significantly higher and caspase-3 protein expression was significantly lower in the RES group than in the POF group(P<0.05).Conclusion RES exerts a protective effect on weakened ovarian function in mice,potentially mediated through its effect on miR-23a targeting the XIAP-caspase-3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To analyze epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal clustering of hepatitis A in China from 2005 to 2023.Methods:The incidence data of hepatitis A in China during 2005-2023 were collected from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System .Results:From 2005 to 2023, a total of 605 509 cases of hepatitis A were reported in China. The average annual reported incidence rate was 2.32/100 000, the incidence was 2.85/100 000 in men and 1.81/100 000 in women, and the incidence was 3.25/100 000 in age group 0-14 years, 2.10/100 000 in age group 15-64 years and 2.49/100 000 in age group ≥65 years , respectively. The case count in farmers was highest (40.57%, 245 639/605 509). The proportion of the cases in jobless or the unemployed increased most obviously (347.32%), and the proportion of the cases in students decreased most significantly (90.27%). The average annual reported incidence rate in the western China was highest (4.45/100 000), followed by that in northeastern China (2.02/100 000), central China (1.89/100 000) and eastern China (1.16/100 000). From 2020 to 2023, the incidence of hepatitis A showed no spatial clustering. From 2005 to 2019, the obvious hot spots and high-high clustering areas mainly distributed in provinces, such as, Sichuan, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Xizang and Gansu. The low-low clustering areas were mainly distributed in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jilin and Liaoning. An independent high-low clustering was found in Shanxi during 2014-2019. A total of 5 high incidence clustering areas were detected through spatiotemporal scanning analysis.Conclusions:The incidence rate of hepatitis A in China declined significantly from 2005 to 2023. The reported incidence rate in the elderly showed no obvious decrease, and the reported cases accounted for the highest proportion in the whole population. Before 2020, the reported incidence rate of hepatitis A showed high-high clustering in western China, the spatiotemporal clustering disappeared from 2020 to 2023, but the reported incidence rate of hepatitis A in western China was still high. It is suggested to pay attention to the prevention and control of hepatitis A in populations at high risk and areas with high incidence of hepatitis A.
