Background::The goal of the assisted reproductive treatment is to transfer one euploid blastocyst and to help infertile women giving birth one healthy neonate. Some algorithms have been used to assess the ploidy status of embryos derived from couples with normal chromosome, who subjected to preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) treatment. However, it is currently unknown whether artificial intelligence model can be used to assess the euploidy status of blastocyst derived from populations with chromosomal rearrangement.Methods::From February 2020 to May 2021, we collected the whole raw time-lapse videos at multiple focal planes from in vitro cultured embryos, the clinical information of couples, and the comprehensive chromosome screening results of those blastocysts that had received PGT treatment. Initially, we developed a novel deep learning model called the Attentive Multi-Focus Selection Network (AMSNet) to analyze time-lapse videos in real time and predict blastocyst formation. Building upon AMSNet, we integrated additional clinically predictive variables and created a second deep learning model, the Attentive Multi-Focus Video and Clinical Information Fusion Network (AMCFNet), to assess the euploidy status of embryos. The efficacy of the AMCFNet was further tested in embryos with parental chromosomal rearrangements. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the superiority of the model. Results::A total of 4112 embryos with complete time-lapse videos were enrolled for the blastocyst formation prediction task, and 1422 qualified blastocysts received PGT-A ( n = 589) or PGT for chromosomal structural rearrangement (PGT-SR, n = 833) were enrolled for the euploidy assessment task in this study. The AMSNet model using seven focal raw time-lapse videos has the best real-time accuracy. The real-time accuracy for AMSNet to predict blastocyst formation reached above 70% on the day 2 of embryo culture, and then increased to 80% on the day 4 of embryo culture. Combing with 4 clinical features of couples, the AUC of AMCFNet with 7 focal points increased to 0.729 in blastocysts derived from couples with chromosomal rearrangement. Conclusion::Integrating seven focal raw time-lapse images of embryos and parental clinical information, AMCFNet model have the capability of assessing euploidy status in blastocysts derived from couples with chromosomal rearrangement.

Objective:To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of olfactory dysfunction in postoperative laryngeal cancer patients.Methods:From November 2022 to August 2023, totally 76 postoperative laryngeal cancer patients admitted to the Department of Head and Neck Surgery at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital were selected by convenience sampling. General information questionnaire and the T&T olfactometer were used for assessment. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the influencing factors of olfactory dysfunction in postoperative laryngeal cancer patients.Results:The T&T olfactometer score for the 76 postoperative laryngeal cancer patients at two weeks post-surgery was (4.74±0.93). Olfactory dysfunction occurred in 76 patients, with 25 cases of anosmia, 33 cases of severe hyposmia, 17 cases of moderate hyposmia, and one case of mild hyposmia. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, educational level, surgical method, and smoking history were influencing factors for olfactory dysfunction in these postoperative laryngeal cancer patients.Conclusions:Postoperative laryngeal cancer patients experience varying degrees of olfactory dysfunction. Healthcare providers should pay special attention to older patients, those with lower educational levels, those undergoing total laryngectomy, and those with a history of smoking. Designing practical olfactory rehabilitation programs and implementing early olfactory training methods can help reduce the incidence of olfactory dysfunction.

Objective:To analyze ultrasonographic manifestations and genetic etiology of nine fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome.Methods:Ultrasonographic finding, pregnancy outcome and follow-up of nine fetuses detected at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The fetuses were found to harbor a duplication in the 7q11.23 region by chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Among these, five had shown ventriculomegaly, including four syndromic and one non-syndromic. For the remainders, one had ventricular septal defect and mild tricuspid regurgitation, one had echogenic intracardiac focus, whilst another two were normal. Five couples had accepted parental verification, and the results confirmed that the 7q11.23 duplication carried by their fetuses were de novo in origin. Following genetic counseling, seven couples had opted to terminate their pregnancies. Two fetuses were delivered at full term, and follow-up had found no abnormalities. Conclusion:Prenatal ultrasonographic manifestations of fetuses with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome are variable. CMA can provide assistance for their diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and variant of CREBBP gene in a fetus with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome (RSTS). Methods:A fetus with RSTS diagnosed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in August 2022 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data, amniotic fluid sample of the fetus and peripheral blood samples of its parents were collected for whole exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing.Results:Foot malformation, cerebellar vermis agenesis, brain agenesis, polysyndactyly of the big toes and other phenotypes were found by prenatal ultrasound. WES revealed that the fetus has harbored a heterozygous c. 4684G>T (p.E1562*) variant in exon 28 of the CREBBP gene (NM_004380.3), which was de novo in origin. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the variant was predicted to be pathogenic (PVS1+ PS2_Moderate+ PM2_Supporting). After genetic counseling, the couple had opted to terminate the pregnancy and refused autopsy for the fetus. Conclusion:The c. 4684G>T (p.E1562*) variant of the CREBBP gene probably underlay the RSTS in this fetus. The newly discovered variant has enriched the mutational spectrum of the CREBBP gene and illustrated that WES is an efficient tool for the prenatal diagnosis of RSTS.
