Objective:To evaluate the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) and cost-effectiveness of fixed versus adjusted follicle-stimulation hormone (FSH) dosages in infertile women with different ovarian responses during their first assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle.Methods:A retrospective real-world cohort study was conducted on 5 419 infertile women who underwent their first ART treatment at the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between January 2013 and December 2017. All patients received an individualized starting dosage of gonadotropin. Based on whether FSH dosages were adjusted during controlled ovarian stimulation (COS), patients were divided into fixed-dosage group ( n=2 061) and adjusted-dosage group ( n=3 358). Clinical outcomes and FSH cost-effectiveness were compared between the two groups across different ovarian response groups, with CLBR as the primary outcome. Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariable logistic regression were used to adjust for potential confounders. Results:FSH dosage adjustments were found in 62.0% (3 358/5 419) of cycles during COS. After PSM, baseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (all P>0.05). After adjusting for confounders using multivariable logistic regression, FSH dosage adjustment was not significantly associated with CLBR ( OR=1.06, 95% CI: 0.94-1.20, P=0.332). Compared with the adjusted-dosage group, the fixed-dosage group showed no significant differences in CLBR in poor-, normal-, and high-responder groups (all P>0.05). The incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) did not differ significantly between the two groups ( P>0.05). In poor-, normal-, and high-responder groups, the total FSH dosages in the fixed-dose group [1 350 (375, 1 825) U, 1 200 (375, 1 500) U and 525 (375, 1 128) U, respectively] were significantly lower than those in the adjusted-dose group [1 875 (1 425, 2 294) U, P=0.001; 1 425 (450, 1 875) U, P<0.001; 600 (375, 1 425) U, P=0.020]. Similarly, average FSH costs in different ovarian response groups in the fixed-dosage group [4 725.0 (1 312.5, 6 387.5) yuan, 4 200.0 (1 312.5, 5 250.0) yuan and 1 837.5 (1 312.5, 3 947.3) yuan, respectively] were significantly lower than those in the adjusted-dosage group [6 562.5 (4 987.5, 8 028.1) yuan, P=0.001; 4 987.5 (1 575.0, 6 562.5) yuan, P<0.001; 2 100.0 (1 312.5, 4 987.5) yuan, P=0.020]. For normal-responders, the FSH cost per high-quality embryo in the fixed-dosage group [1 365.0 (875.0, 2 537.5) yuan] was significantly lower than that in the adjusted-dosage group [2 056.3 (1 268.8, 3 412.5) yuan, P<0.001]. Conclusion:FSH dosage adjustment during COS is not associated with CLBR or the incidence of OHSS. However, the fixed-dose group exhibited lower total FSH dosages and costs across different ovarian response populations. In the context of ART being covered by medical insurance, fixed FSH dosage may represent a more cost-effective ovarian stimulation protocol.

Objective To study the effect and possible mechanism of Siraitiae fructus Qingyan Formula(SQF)on acute pharyngitis(AP)rats induced by ammonia water.Methods The active ingredients and targets of SQF were obtained from TCMSP database,pharyngitis targets were acquired from disease databases such as DrugBank,and the common targets were identified through intersections.Constructing protein-protein interaction(PPI)networks to obtain key targets.GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were carried out,and the"active ingredients-targets-pathways"network was constructed.Discovery Studio 2019 was used for molecular docking of active ingredients.The acute pharyngitis model was induced by fixed point quantitative application of ammonia water.After Siraitiae fructus Qingyan oral thick paste(SQP)low-,medium-and high-dose(4,8,16 g/kg)administration,The body mass,general behavior and symptoms of the rats were monitored continuously,and the score of pharyngeal swelling was recorded;the pathological changes of pharyngeal were observed by HE staining.The classification and the count of inflammatory cells were determined.The expression of inflammatory factors(IL-6,IL-1β,PGE2)and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways in pharyngeal tissues were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Results A total of 35 active ingredients,223 action targets and 2549 pharyngitis related targets were obtained through network pharmacology,with 153 common targets in total.The key targets were protein kinase B(PKB or AKT).Pathways involved PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.Combined with key targets,it was speculated that PI3K-AKT is an important signaling pathway for the treatment of acute pharyngitis with SQF.Compared with the model group,the related symptoms of AP rats were alleviated after the treatment of SQP.The redness and swelling of pharynx were significantly improved(P<0.001).The hyperplasia of the upper mucosa of pharyngeal was alleviated or disappeared,infiltration of a small amount of inflammatory cells,and hypertrophy and hyperplasia of submucosa glandular cells were alleviated.The numbers of inflammatory cells in blood of rats significantly decreased(P<0.05).And the mRNA expression levels of IL-6,IL-1β and PGE2 in pharyngeal tissues were significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001),while the mRNA expression levels of PI3K,AKT and mTOR mRNA were remarkably raised(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion SQF has obvious improvement effect on AP rats,and its mechanism may be related to reducing inflammation level,improving pharyngeal mucosa hyperplasia,inflammatory cells infiltration,hypertrophy and hyperplasia of submucosal glandular cells,and regulating PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the sensitivity of tumor organoids derived from samples of colorectal cancer to lobaplatin and oxaliplatin hyperthermic perfusion in vitro and to assist clinical development of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Method:Tumor samples and relevant clinical data were collected from patients with pathologically confirmed colorectal cancer in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from July 2021 to December 2022. Organoids were cultured and tumor tissue were passaged. In vitro hyperthermic perfusion experiments were performed on organoids with good viability. Firstly, 10 organoids were treated with oxaliplatin and lobaplatin at the following six concentrations: 1 000, 250, 62.5, 15.6, 3.9, and 0.98 μmol/L. The organoids were exposed to oxaliplatin at 42℃ for 30 minutes and to lobaplatin at 42℃ for 60 minutes. Dose-response curves of responses to in vitro hyperthermic perfusion with these two drugs were constructed and evaluated. Clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin were further tested on 30 organoids. This testing revealed oxaliplatin was effective at 579 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 30 min and lobaplatin was effective at 240 μmol/L at a hyperthermic perfusion temperature of 42℃ for 60 minutes. Result:Thirty-two tumor organoids were cultured from samples of colorectal cancer. The median concentration required for oxaliplatin to eliminate 50% of tumor cells (IC50) was 577.45 μmol/L (IQR: 1846.09 μmol/L). The median IC50 for lobaplatin was 85.04 μmol/L (IQR: 305.01 μmol/L).The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( Z=1.784, P=0.084). In seven of 10 organoids, lobaplatin showed a greater IC50 after in vitro hyperthermic perfusion than did oxaliplatin. Testing of 30 organoids with clinical doses of oxaliplatin and lobaplatin revealed that oxaliplatin achieved an average inhibition rate of 39.6% (95%CI: 32.1%?47.0%), whereas the average rate of inhibition for lobaplatin was 89.7% (95%CI: 87.0%?92.3%): this difference is statistically significant ( t=?15.282, P<0.001). Conclusion:The rate of inhibition achieved by hyperthermic perfusion of lobaplatin in vitro is better than that achieved by hyperthermic perfusion with oxaliplatin. Lobaplatin is more effective than oxaliplatin when administered by hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion and therefore has the potential to replace oxaliplatin in this setting.

Objective To investigate the impacts of phillyrin on exudates and lung injury in rats with acute pleurisy by regulating the NLRP3 inflammatory pathway.Methods Ninety rats were randomly divided into the control group,the model group,the low-dose phillyrin(PH-L,5 mg/kg)group,the medium-dose phillyrin(PH-M,10 mg/kg)group,the high-dose phillyrin(PH-H,20 mg/kg)group and the NLRP3 pathway inhibitor(PJ34,10 mg/kg)group.FVC,FEV 0.1 and FEV 0.3 were detected by lung function analyzer.Electronic balance was used to weigh the mass of chest exudate.The number of white blood cells in exudate was detected by Wright staining.Contents of prostaglandin E2(PGE2),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),interleukin(IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in exudate were detected by ELISA.Automatic blood gas analyzer was used to detect p(CO2)and p(O2)of rats.HE staining was used to observe pathological changes of lung tissue.The expression levels of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 protein were detected by immunohistochemistry.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of NLRP3 pathway protein.Results Compared with the control group,the quality of pleural exudate and the number of white blood cells,the contents of PGE2,MCP-1,IL-6,TNF-α,the expression of p(CO2)and NLRP3 pathway proteins in exudate of the model group increased obviously,FVC,FEV 0.1,FEV 0.3 and p(O2)decreased obviously,and the lung tissue showed obvious pathological damage(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the quality of pleural exudate and the number of white blood cells,the contents of PGE2,MCP-1,IL-6,TNF-α,the expression of p(CO2),NLRP3 pathway proteins in the exudate of rats decreased obviously in the PH group and the PJ34 group,FVC,FEV 0.1,FEV 0.3 and p(O2)increased obviously,the pathological injury of lung tissue was obviously improved(P＜0.05).Compared with the PH-H group,there were no significant differences in the above indexes in the PJ34 group(P＞0.05).Conclusion PH can improve lung injury induced by acute pleurisy in rats by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 pathway and inhibiting inflammatory reaction.

Objective:To explore the construction of evaluation criteria for long-term care ability of the elderly suitable for China's national conditions.Methods:The evaluation criteria were initially established through literature research and field semi-structured interviews. Through the Delphi method, 15 experts were consulted and the evaluation criteria for the long-term care ability of the elderly were finally established.Results:The effective rate of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires was 100%, and the expert authority coefficients were 0.91 and 0.92 respectively. The evaluation criteria for long-term care ability of the elderly were established, including two first-level indicators of self-care ability and disease severity, four second-level indicators of abilities of daily living, mental state and social participation, perception and communication, and disease severity, as well as 39 third-level indicators including recumbent status, cognitive function, level of consciousness, illness and so on.Conclusions:The evaluation criteria for long-term care ability of the elderly are scientific and reliable, which can provide a reference for the classification of long-term care services for the disabled elderly in China.

Objective:To explore the status quo of exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide evidence for improving the compliance of rehabilitation exercise in CABG patients.Methods:From January to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 228 patients with CABG in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Urumqi City as the survey subject. One month after surgery, a questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information and Disease Information Questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Rehabilitation Exercises (QRE), the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for the Heart (TSK Heart), and the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF-C). This study conducted a latent category analysis of rehabilitation exercise attitudes and compliance among CABG patients, and identified the influencing factors of their latent categories through Logistic regression. A total of 220 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.49% (220/228) .Results:The fitting results of latent category analysis showed that the rehabilitation exercise attitudes and compliance of 220 CABG patients could be divided into 4 latent categories, which were respectively named as: excellent attitude-excellent compliance group, good attitude-single exercise group, moderate attitude-poor compliance group, poor attitude-poor compliance group. Logistic regression showed that education level, nationality, pain, exercise fear and fatigue were independent influencing factors for the latent categories of exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in CABG patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Postoperative exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in CABG patients have 4 latent categories, and patient education level, nationality, pain, exercise fear and fatigue are all factors that affect compliance. Medical and nursing workers should formulate targeted interventions based on influencing factors to improve the compliance of exercise rehabilitation in patients with CABG.
