Objective:To explore the effectiveness, safety and cost between urinary follicle stimulating hormone (uFSH) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in China.Methods:Data were collected from 16 reproductive centers in China covering oocytes collection time from May 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Eligible patients were over 18 years old, adopting COS with uFSH (uFSH group) or rFSH (rFSH group) as start gonadotropins (Gn), and using in vitro fertilization (IVF) and (or) intracytoplasmic sperm injection for fertilisation, excluding frozen embryo recovery cycle. Generalised estimating equation was used to address the violation of independency assumption between cycles due to multiple IVF cycles for one person and clustering nature of cycles carried out within one center. Controlling variables included age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, cause of infertility, ovulation protocol, type of fertilisation, number of embryos transferred, number of days of Gn use.Results:Totally 102 061 cycles met eligibility criteria and were included in the analyses. In terms of effectiveness, after controlling relevant unbalanced baseline characteristics, compared with rFSH group, the high oocyte retrieval (>15 oocytes was considered high retrieval) rate of uFSH group significantly decreased in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist protocol ( OR=0.642, P<0.01) and in gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol ( OR=0.556, P=0.001), but the clinical pregnancy rate per transfer cycle and the live birth rate per transfer cycle significantly increased ( OR=1.179, OR=1.169, both P<0.01) in both agonist and antagonist protocols. For safety, multiple analysis result demonstrated that in the agonist protocol, compared with rFSH group, the incidence of moderate to severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome of uFSH group significantly decreased ( OR=0.644, P=0.002). The differences in ectopic pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate between the uFSH and rFSH groups were not significant ( P=0.890, P=0.470) in all patients. In terms of cost, compared with rFSH group, the uFSH group had lower total Gn costs for each patient ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients who underwent COS, uFSH has better safety, and economic profiles over rFSH in China.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) as first-line screening in fetal chromosome aneuploidy screening practice, and to provide evidence for the prevention and control strategy of birth defects.Methods:Since July 2019, Hebei province had carried out the NIPT project providing first-line screening for eligible pregnant women in the area (except for those who were not applicable). Pregnant women with high risk received genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and intervention guidance. Low risk and false-positive ones received continuous detection and moved to prenatal diagnosis center for counseling and diagnosis if abnormities were discovered. All pregnant women were followed up to learn about pregnancy outcomes and newborn health status. Detection results and clinical data of pregnant women participating the NIPT project from July 2019 to July 2020 were collected. The detection results and effect of NIPT were analyzed.Results:(1) Basic information of the screened population: A total of 424 330 pregnant women were screened, and 423 596 were successfully detected, with a success rate of 99.83% (423 596/424 330). The age of pregnant women was (28.8±4.5) years old; the gestational age of screening was (16.6±2.3) weeks; the proportion of advanced-age pregnant women (≥35 years old) was 10.18% (43 132/423 596); in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) rate was 1.58% (6 713/423 596); the twin rate was 1.38% (5 849/423 596); the proportion of primipara was 34.23% (144 977/423 596). (2) Screening results and detection performance: totally, 325, 73 and 20 pregnant women were diagnosed with trisomy 21, 18 and 13; the sensitivity were 99.39%, 100.00% and 100.00%; the specificity were 99.98%, 99.99% and 99.98%; the positive predictive value were 75.76%, 68.87% and 21.51%, respectively. Besides, 249 190 pregnant women were received supplementary reports as well, and 255, 10 and 9 were confirmed for sex chromosome aneuploidy, other autosomal aneuploidy and deletion/duplication syndrome; the positive predictive value were 37.78%, 6.06% and 32.14%, respectively. The sensitivity of NIPT for target trisomy (trisomy 21, 18 and 13) screening in advanced-age, IVF-ET and twin pregnant women were 99.29%, 100.00% and 90.00%, respectively; the specificity were 99.93% for all; the positive predictive value were 82.25%, 61.54% and 69.23%, respectively.Conclusions:NIPT has a significant effect and good performance in the first-line screening of fetal chromosome aneuploidy in the whole population, which might provide reference for the improvement of birth defect prevention and control strategy.

Objective:To assess the predictive values of bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)-measured body fat indices to abnormal lipid profiles, and to preliminary propose optimal cut-off values of body fat in children and adolescents.Methods:Children and adolescents, aged 6-16 years, were selected from 30 schools (8 primary schools, 21 middle schools and one 12-year education school) in Dongcheng, Tongzhou, Fangshan and Miyun districts of Beijing by adopting a stratified cluster sampling method from November 2017 to January 2018.Questionnaire survey, body mass index(BMI), body fat mass index (FMI), fat mass percentage (FMP) and four lipid profiles were conducted.Results:A total of 14 309 participants, aged (11.0±3.3) years, were enrolled in the analysis, with 49.9% boys.In boys and girls, the percentile values ( P60- P95) fitted by FMI and FMP with K-median-coefficient of variation(LMS) method were taken as the cutting points, and P75 values were selected as the cut-off points of excessive body fat for their better sensitivity, specificity, predictive value and area under curve (AUC) for identification of abnormal lipid profiles.Boys with FMI above P75 accounted for 28% of the total population, and controlling boys with FMI below P75 could prevent dyslipidemia of 8%-57%.FMI in girl population occupied about 26% of the above, and controlling FMI in girl population below this cut-off point may prevent dyslipidemia from 8%-42%.FMP observed similar results to FMI.Assessed by FMI or FMP with P75 cut-off values, adiposity performed better than BMI for recognizing abnormal lipid profiles in boys (AUC: 52.4%-69.6% vs.50.2%-67.1%, P<0.05) rather than in girls ( P>0.05). In addition, when FMI or FMP beyond P90, the specificity of each abnormal lipid profiles was around 90%. Conclusions:The recommend cut-off points for body fat may be to assess children′s adiposity, and can be applied in preventive activities.

Objective:To analyze the influence of obesity status on the development of cardiometabolic disorders in school-age children.Methods:Information about children's body weight, body height and cardiovascular risk factors were collected in baseline survey in 2017 and follow-up survey in 2019. The school-age children were divided into four groups based on their baseline and follow-up obesity status, i.e. sustained non-obesity group, restored obesity group, newly classified obesity group, and persistent obesity group. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the difference of change in levels of cardiometabolic factors among the four groups. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between obesity status and the incidence risk of cardiometabolic disorders.Results:The present study included 11 379 school-age children (boys accounting for 49.6%). During the 2 years, the incidence of obesity was 3.2% (95% CI: 2.9%-3.5%) with the restoration ratio of obesity of 4.4% (95% CI: 4.0%-4.8%). Compared with the sustained non-obesity group, increases in SBP, DBP, TG, LDL-C and non-HDL-C were much higher in newly classified obesity group and persistent obesity group, but lower in restored obesity groups except for DBP (all P<0.05). In addition, the incidence risk of hypertension, high glucose, dyslipidemia and cardiometabolic disorders (≥2 risks) were much higher in newly classified and persistent obese children than in sustained non-obese children. No difference was found in incidence risks of most cardiovascular disorders between restored obese children and sustained non-obese children, except for hypertension and cardiometabolic risks. Conclusion:Both newly classified obesity and persistent obesity increased the incidence risks for multi cardiovascular disorders, while these risks could be reduced when non-obese status restore.

Objective: To compare the power of dyslipidemia diagnosis by different sets of cut points in the prediction of cardiovascular metabolic risk factors and identify the appropriate cut points for the diagnosis of dyslipidemia in children and adolescents in China. Methods: Data were obtained from the baseline survey of 'School-based Cardiovascular and Bone Health Promotion Program’ in Beijing in 2017. Dyslipidemia was diagnosed by using two set of cut points. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was conducted to assess the power of dyslipidemia diagnosis by the two set of cut points to predict the prevalence of hypertension, obesity, high fat mass percentage and impaired fasting glucose. Results: A total of 14 390 children and adolescents were in included in the study. The prevalence rates of high TC, high LDL-C, low HDL-C, and high TG in the participants were 2.7%, 2.7%, 14.4%, and 3.7% according to 'Chinese Reference Standard’, and 5.0%, 3.7%, 13.3%, and 3.5% according to 'China Expert Consensus’. Low HDL-C and high TG defined by the 'Chinese Reference Standard’ had better performance for the prediction of high fat mass percentage and obesity in boys, but worse performance in girls (P<0.001). Conclusions Using 'China Reference Standard’ can increase the true positive rate in the prediction of obesity or high fat mass percentage in boys, and reduce the false positive rate in girls. The cut points for the diagnosis of dyslipidemia in Chinese children and adolescents need to be further validated by using national representative sample and in longitudinal study.

Objective: To analyze the mutation of target genes in extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) by using nextgeneration sequencing, and to explore its relationship with prognosis and clinical characteristics, as to provide evidence for the pathogenesis, clinical diagnosis and targeted therapy of ENKTL. Methods: According to previous literature reports, the genes whose mutations can affect the development of lymphoma were selected as the target genes for this study. 29 patients with ENKTL, who were newly diagnosed at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from August 2010 to October 2018, were selected for this study. The mutation of 9 target genes in the specimen was detected by thenext-generationsequencingtechnology.Therelationshipsamongclinicalfeatures,diseaseprognosisandmutationofthetargetgeneswereanalyzedbySPSS21.0statisticalsoftware.Results： ：Ninetargetgenes were were screened. AT-rich interactive-domain 1A(ARID1A) gene showed the highest mutation rate in ENKTL (10 cases, 34.48%) followedbylysinemethyltransferase2D(KMT2D)gene(31.03%)andtumorprotein P53 (TP53) gene (24.13%). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the overall survival of ENKTL patients with KMT2D gene wild type was significantly better than patients with KMT2D gene mutation (P=0.006). The KMT2D gene mutation was found to besignificantlyrelatedtoclinicalstage,CRP,albumin,lymphocyte count and Ki67 expression in ENKTL patients (all P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that KMT2D gene mutation was an independent adverse prognostic factor (P<0.05). Conclusion: The KMT2D gene has a high mutant frequency in ENKTL and is associated with patients’prognosis, suggesting that KMT2D gene plays an important role in the initiation and development of ENKTL. It could be used as a clinical therapeutic target for ENKTL.

Objective: To describe the baseline characteristics of School-based Cardiovascular and Bone Health Promotion Program(SCVBH) in Beijing. Methods: Children and adolescents were selected in 30 schools (8 primary schools, 21 middle schools and one 12-year education school) from Dongcheng, Tongzhou, Fangshan and Miyun districts of Beijing by using a stratified cluster sampling method. 15 391 students in grade 1 to 4 from primary schools, grade 1 from junior and senior high schools were enrolled in the investigation with an exclusion of students who were not able to participate due to trauma or other uncomfortable physical conditions. The baseline survey including a questionnaire survey, physical examination and blood biochemical test was conducted from September 2017 to January 2018. Obesity, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, lipid, bone density and grip were evaluated. Results: The prevalence of obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia (impaired fasting glucose and diabetes), dyslipidemia, lower bone density were 22.3%(3 394), 14.8%(2 248), 10.4%(1 490), 20.3%(2 919) and 2.1%(316) in total respectively, and 27.2%(2 081), 16.3%(1 244), 12.8%(922), 22.2%(1 595) and 1.2%(94) for boys, 17.3%(1 313), 13.3% (1 004), 7.9%(568), 18.4%(1 324) and 2.9%(229) for girls. Boys had higher prevalence of obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia and lower prevalence of low bone density than girls (all P values <0.05) The mean of body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and grip of boys were significantly higher than that of girls (all P values <0.05).The mean of body mass index, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and grip of boys were significantly higher than that of girls (all P values <0.05), the mean of fat mass percentage, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol of boys were significantly lower than those of girls (all P values <0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of risk factors of chronic cardiovascular disease was high and the low bone density was appearing in children and adolescents in this study. The promotion of cardiovascular and bone health should be implemented in children and adolescents.

Objective: To investigate the sleep status in children and adolescents and explore the relationship between the sleep and high blood pressure in them. Methods: Data was from the Schoolbased Cardiovascular and Bone Health Promotiow Program (SCVBH) in Beijing. And 13 471 children and adolescents aged 6-16 years were selected from grades 1 to 4 in 8 primary schools, grade 1 in 21 middle schools and senior grade 1 in one twelve-year education school in Dongcheng, Fangshan, Miyun and Tongzhou Districts of Beijing during 2017-2018 by using a cluster sampling method. Self-reported questionnaires were used to collect the demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits of children and adolescents. The blood pressure was measured by electronic sphygmomanometer. Multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between sleep and hypertension risk. Results: The sleep duration was (8.4±1.1) hours. The prevalence of high blood pressure was 15.0%(2 021/13 471). The incidence of mouth breathing, slobber, snoring, and suffocate was 28.4%(3 823/13 471), 23.6%(3 184/13 471) and 18.7%(2 513/13 471), 2.8%(378/13 471) respectively. After adjusting for age, gender, snoring, mouth breaking, slobber, suffocate, the time for bed and sleep duration, we found that snoring and sleep duration (5.0-6.9 h) were both associated with high blood pressure (OR=1.49, 95%CI:1.32-1.69; OR=1.53, 95%CI: 1.28-1.81). Conclusion Snoring and sleep duration were positively associated with high blood pressure in this study. Interventions focusing on sleep status should be developed to reduce the incidence of high blood pressure in children and adolescents.

Objective: To investigate the correlations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the D-loop of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the disease risk as well as the prognosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods: Blood samples from 108 DLBCL patients treated at the Department of Hematology of the Fourth Hospital of Heibei Medical University during July, 1991 and July 2012 were collected for this study; in addition, blood samples from 159 healthy controls during the same period were also collected. DNA was extracted according to the standard protocols for PCR amplification and SNP locus genotype analyses. The risk of D-loop SNPs was investigated by case-control study. Results: The minor alleles of nucleotides 73A/G, 263A/G, 315C/C insert were associated with a decreased risk for DLBCL. The minor allele of the nucleotides 200G/Awas associated with an increased risk for DLBCL. To further evaluate the predictive function of D-loop SNPs in DLBCL patients, five SNP sites were identified by Log-Rank test that with statistically significant prediction value of DLBCL survival in a univariate analysis. In a multivariate analysis, allele 16304 was identified as an independent predictor of DLBCL prognosis. The survival time of DLBCL patients with 16304C was significantly shorter than that of patients with 16304T (RR=0.513, 95% CI=0.266-0.989, P<0.05). Conclusion: The analysis of D-loop SNPs in mtDNA can help identifying the occurrence risks and poor prognosis subtypes of DLBCL.

Objective To evaluate the effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms at the miRNA binding site rs3660 in the 3'-untranslated region of the KRT81 gene (miR-SNPs) on the cancer risk and clinical prognosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL).Methods The single-nucleo-tide polymorphisms of rs3660 was genotyped with ligation detection reaction method.The association of rs3660 with NHL survival was calculated with log-rank test using Kaplan-Meier method.Multivariate survival analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazards model.Results The rs3660 genotype distribution difference was not statistically significant between the case and control group (P =0.50).Patients carrying the rs3660 CG/CC genotype exhibited a significantly longer survival time than patients carrying the GG genotype (P =0.012).In addition,rs3660 was associated independently with the survival of NHL patients in multivariate analysis (RR=0.589,95％ CI:0.415-0.832,P =0.004).The association of this miR-SNP with NHL survival was further confirmed in the peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) subtype.Conclusion Our results indicate that KRT81 rs3660 GG type is an independent prognostic marker in NHL.
