Avicel is made of a mixture of microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and used for virus plaque assay. The avicel in common use is produced by FMC Biopolymer. Due to the relatively fixed proportion of MCC and CMC, avicel in common use is not suitable for plaque determination experiment of all types of viruses. In this study, we evaluated the effect of avicel made of different proportions of MCC and CMC on virus plaque assay, and developed an improved avicel virus plaque assay featured with simple and convenient operation, good practicability and high stability. To generate avicel overlays with different proportions of MCC and CMC, twelve different 2×avicel solutions were prepared. Their overall viscosity and bottom viscosity were measured to evaluate the ease of operation. The results showed that most of the 2×avicel solutions (except the 4.8% MCC+1.4% CMC and 4.8% MCC+1.0% CMC group) were easy to absorb and prepare nutrient overlap than 2×CMC solution. In order to find the best scheme to detect the titer of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), these avicel overlay solutions with different proportion of MCC and CMC were used as a replacement in the standard plaque assay. By comparing the size, clarity, stability and titer accuracy of virus plaque, we identified that 0.6% MCC and 0.7% CMC was the most preferable composition of avicel overlay for PEDV plaque assay. In conclusion, we developed an improved virus plaque assay based on avicel, which may facilitate the research of virus etiology, antiviral drugs and vaccines.

Objective:To investigate the impact of trigger timing of gonadotropin- releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist regimen for infertility patients of various ages.Methods:This was a retrospective study, 1 529 infertility patients who receiving GnRH antagonist regimen in Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children from January 2017 to December 2018 were divided into the advance trigger group and the standard trigger group, and further divided into three subgroups according to age:<35 years, 35-40 years,>40 years. The number of retrieved oocytes and transplantable embryos, the clinical pregnancy rate and the live birth rate among patients in the advance trigger group and standard trigger group in various age subgroups were compared.Results:(1) The gonadotropin (Gn) days among the three age subgroups were significantly shorter in the advance trigger group compared to the same-aged standard trigger group (all P<0.01), but only in the 35－40 years and >40 years subgroups, the Gn doses in the advance trigger group [(2 702±551) and (2 780±561) U] were significantly less than those in the standard trigger group (all P<0.01). In the <35 years subgroup, the number of oocytes retrieved and transplantable embryos of the advance trigger group (6.6±4.8 and 2.6±2.7) were significantly less than those of the standard trigger group (all P<0.01), but there was no difference in the number of top-quality embryos ( P=0.580); however, in the 35－40 years and >40 years subgroups, there were no significant differences between advance and standard trigger groups in terms of the afore mentioned 3 indicators (all P>0.05), only the numbers of top-quality embryos in the advance trigger group (0.6±1.0 and 0.6±0.9) were significantly higher than those in the standard trigger group (all P<0.01). (2) In the <35 years and 35－40 years subgroups, no significant differences were noted between the advance trigger group and standard trigger group with regard to the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate (all P>0.05); but in the >40 years subgroup, the clinical pregnancy rate of the advance trigger group was significantly higher than that of the standard trigger group [33.0% (30/91) vs 19.2% (25/130), P=0.020], and there was no statistical difference in the live birth rate ( P=0.064). (3) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that trigger timing was an independent predictor of clinical pregnancy rate in the >40 years subgroup ( OR=0.334, 95% CI: 0.119-0.937, P=0.037), but not an independent predictor of live birth rate ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Advance trigger in the GnRH antagonist protocol for infertility patients >40 years old could effectively reduce Gn times and Gn dosage, increase the number of top-quality embryos, and improve the clinical pregnancy rate. Therefore, compared with patients ≤40 years of age, patients >40 years might benefit more from advance trigger.

Objective:To explore the effect of junctional plakoglobin (JUP) on the radiotherapy-resistant cervical cancer cells in vitro.Methods:Cervical cancer cell lines SiHa, HeLa and Me-180 were irradiated with 1 Gy of 60Co radioactive rays for 3 times every week to induce the radiotherapy resistance of cells which obtained the radiotherapy-resistant cell lines SiHaIR, HeLaIR and Me-180IR. The corresponding wild-type cell lines were served as control groups. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expressions of JUP mRNA and protein in the 6 groups of cells. The cell scratch test was used to detect the cell migration ability. Results:The relative expressions of JUP mRNA in SiHa and SiHaIR groups, HeLa and HeLaIR groups and Me-180 and Me-180IR groups were the relative expressions of JUP protein were 1.74±0.06 and 0.48±0.02 ( t = 12.327, P < 0.01), 1.77±0.06 and 0.28±0.03 ( t = 14.698, P < 0.01), 2.276±0.061 and 0.780±0.011 ( t = 7.367, P < 0.01); 2.36±0.03 and 0.55±0.02 ( t = 9.245, P < 0.01), 2.13±0.02 and 0.23±0.01 ( t = 15.643, P < 0.01), 1.96±0.05 and 0.73±0.02 ( t = 5.826, P < 0.01). When culturing the cells for 12, 24, and 48 h after scratching, the migration rates in 3 groups of radiotherapy-resistant cell lines were increased compared with the corresponding wild-type cell lines, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:The expressions of JUP in radiotherapy-resistant cervical cancer cell lines are lower than those in wild-type cell lines, and the migration ability of radiotherapy-resistant cells is enhanced.

Objective To analyze the effects of fetal reduction in early pregnancy on obstetric and neonatal outcomes of spontaneously or selectively reduced multiple pregnancies produced by in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods Retrospective study of 6917 clinical pregnancies from IVF-ET cycles, including 754 multiple pregnancies divided into two groups according to the remaining fetus number: reduced singleton group (n=599) and reduced twin group (n=155); and maternal and neonatal outcomes of two groups were compared to primary singleton group (n=3589) and primary twin group (n=2574). Results The rate of pregnancy complication [9.85%(59/599) versus 6.21%(223/3589)], preterm birth [19.37%(116/599) versus 10.73%(385/3589)], low birth weight [9.71%(56/577) versus 4.57%(152/3324)], perinatal death [0.69%(4/577) versus 0.12%(4/3324)] and malformation [2.95%(17/577) versus 1.02%(34/3324)] in reduced singleton group were significantly higher than those in primary singleton group (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences between reduced twin group and primary twin group (all P>0.05). In reduced singleton group, birth defect rate was 2.95%, which was higher than those of the other three groups (P<0.05), in this group spontaneous pregnancy reduction accounted for 89.3%(535/599). Conclusions (1) The rate of pregnancy complication, preterm birth, low birth weight, perinatal death and malformation in reduced singleton group are still higher than primary singletons, suggesting embryo reduction only is a compensated method in multiple pregnancies. Limiting the number of embryos transferred is the essential solution. (2) The rate of birth defect in spontaneous pregnancy reduction group is higher, so prenatal examination should be reinforced in this group.

The TNM staging system is an essential standard for cancer treatment and evaluation, and is used to assess a patient''s prog-nosis. Therefore, every update made to the system is of great significance.
