Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of health management programs for elderly patients with comorbid diabetes and coronary heart disease, to provide suggestions for health management of elderly patients with comorbid diabetes and coronary heart disease.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 72 elderly patients with comorbid diabetes and coronary heart disease from different communities who visited the Fenglin Street Community Health Service Center, Xuhui District, Shanghai, from January to June 2023 were selected by convenient sampling method. They were divided into control group and experimental group by random number method, with 36 cases in each group. The control group used the routine health management program, the experimental group used the health management program for elderly patients with comorbid diabetes and coronary heart disease. The clinical indicators (glycated hemoglobin, body mass index, etc), self-management abilities (including those of elderly patients with diabetes and those with coronary heart disease), and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:There were 14 males and 22 females in the control group, with an age of (73.67 ± 5.97) years; there were 21 males and 15 females in the experimental group, with an age of (73.33 ± 5.63) years. After intervention, the glycated hemoglobin of patients in the experimental group was (7.03 ± 0.64)%, while that of the control group was (7.42 ± 0.72)%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.49, P<0.05).The scores of self-management ability of elderly patients with diabetes and elderly patients with coronary heart disease in the experimental group were (22.66 ± 4.69) and (98.28 ± 13.54) points, which were significantly higher than (20.56 ± 4.05) and (93.00 ± 8.01) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.03, 2.01, both P<0.05). The score of energy in the experimental group was (35.56 ± 8.68) points, which was higher than that of the control group (28.75 ± 15.18) points, the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.34, P<0.05). Conclusions:Health management programs for elderly patients with comorbid diabetes and coronary heart disease can significantly improve patients′ blood glucose control and enhance their self-management abilities for diabetes and coronary heart disease. However, further validation is needed to improve patients′ blood lipid control level and quality of life.

Objective:To analyse the clinical significance of selective single embryo transfer by time-lapse mo-nitoring(TLM)or conventional morphology assessment(CMA)in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm in-jection and embryo transfer(IVF/ICSI-ET),and to initially explore the predictive value of Raman spectral analy-sis of embryo culture medium for clinical pregnancy rate.Methods:The study is a prospective randomized con-trolled clinical trial.We assigned 139 patients treated with IVF/ICSI-ET in Reproductive and Genetics Center of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from April 2019 to July 2020,which were randomly assigned to either the CMA or the TLM group.We performed selective single-embryo transfer(fresh cycle and FET)after selecting the optimal em-bryos with TLM or CMA respectively.If the patient's first embryo transfer was unsuccessful,a second one would be performed to compare the differences in the cumulative live birth rate of embryo transfer and other pregnancy outcomes between the two groups.Meanwhile,we collected 15 μl of embryo culture medium at day 3 after IVF/ISCI fertilization for Raman spectroscopy analysis.Results:There were no differences in cumulative live birth,cu-mulative clinical pregnancy,cumulative premature birth,cumulative early spontaneous abortion,cumulative ectopic pregnancy and LGA or SGA between TLM and CMA groups(P>0.05).The Neonatal sex ratio in the TLM group was lower than that in the CMA group,but the difference was not significant(P>0.05).Raman spectros-copy analysis of embryo culture medium predicted the clinical pregnancy rate with 67.21%accuracy.Conclu-sions:In young women with a good ovarian reserve,the advantage of using TLM to evaluate embryos is not obvi-ous,so we should remain vigilant that embryo selection based on morphokinetic parameters may affect the sex ratio.Raman spectroscopic analysis of embryo culture medium is not yet able to effectively predict the planting ability of embryos.

Objective:To explore the effects of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), progesterone as well as the change of estradiol 12 h after hCG trigger on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). Methods:A retrospective study was conducted at the Center for Reproduction and Genetics of the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. A total of 2 506 patients received IVF/ICSI-ET treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) protocol from March 2015 to June 2020 were selected. With Spearman rank correlation analysis and path analysis, we explore the relationship among the changes of these hormones and the baseline characteristic of patients, as well as the relationship among the changes of these hormones and the outcomes of IVF treatment.Results:The increase of hCG was accompanied by the rise of progesterone and the decline of estradiol change rate ( r=0.094, P<0.001; r=-0.093, P<0.001). Meanwhile the rise of progesterone was accompanied by the decline of estradiol change rate ( r=-0.089, P<0.001). The dosage of hCG trigger was directly positively correlated to hCG level after hCG trigger, path coefficients (PC) was 0.307 ( P<0.001). Body mass index (BMI) was directly negatively correlated to hCG level and progesterone level after hCG trigger (PC=-0.434, P<0.001; PC=-0.154, P<0.001), whereas positively correlated to estradiol change rate (PC=0.097, P<0.001). Meanwhile the duration and dosage of gonadotropin (Gn) used were positively correlated to progesterone level after hCG trigger (PC=0.102, P<0.001; PC=0.080, P=0.030). hCG level and progesterone level after hCG trigger had positive correlation to oocyte retrieved rate (PC=0.098, P<0.001; PC=0.080, P<0.001). While estradiol change rate was not correlated to oocyte retrieved rate ( P>0.05). Progesterone level on hCG trigger day negatively related to normal fertilization rate (PC=-0.050, P=0.039). hCG level, progesterone level and estradiol change rate after hCG trigger had no correlation with high-quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Oocyte retrieved rate was positively affected by hCG level and progesterone level 12 h after hCG trigger. While normal fertilization rate, high-quality embryo rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate were not affected by the change of hormones level 12 h after hCG trigger. Therefore we should pay attention to hCG level and progesterone level 12 h after hCG trigger.
