ObjectiveTo evaluate the pregnancy outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in women with a history of thyroid cancer who retained fertility intentions after completing cancer treatment. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 61 patients with a history of thyroid cancer who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm microinjection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). These patients were included as the case group. A total of 122 non-cancer patients who received ART during the same period were selected as the control group using 1∶2 matching based on age and oocyte retrieval time. Baseline characteristics, outcomes of the first ART cycle, and cumulative pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the basic data, the total amount of gonadotropin (Gn) and the days of use between the case group and the control group (P>0.05). However, the case group had significantly fewer retrieved oocytes, mature oocytes (MII), lower fertilization and cleavage rates, and fewer transferable and high-quality embryos, as well as fewer embryos transferred during the first cycle (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the rate of first embryo implantation and first clinical pregnancy between the two groups (P>0.05). In the analysis of cumulative outcomes, the two groups did not show statistically significant differences in the cumulative pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate per transfer cycle, the number of oocyte retrieval cycles required per live birth, the number of embryo transfer cycles required per live birth, and the number of embryos used for each live birth (P>0.05). However, the cumulative live birth rate was significantly lower in the case group compared to the control group (P=0.005). ConclusionAfter treatment for thyroid cancer, when ART is used to help pregnant women, the pregnancy outcome is comparable to that of women without tumors. Individualized reproductive management and timely fertility preservation strategies are recommended to optimize reproductive outcomes in this population.

Objective To screen antidepressant-active compounds from Polygonati Rhizoma and explore their effects and possible mechanisms against depression induced by simulated weightlessness.Methods A systems pharmacology approach was used to screen potential antidepressant-active compounds and their targets from Polygonati Rhizoma.The hindlimb unloading(HLU)rat model was employed for the study.Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group(administered 0.5%carboxymethylcellulose by gavage),HLU group(hindlimb unloading),and HLU+treatment group(hindlimb unloading+active compound gavage),with 8 rats in each group.After 28 days of hindlimb unloading,depressive-like behaviors in rats were evaluated using the forced swimming test and tail suspension test.Hippocampal morphology was examined with H&E staining,and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were conducted on the targets of active compounds.Results A total of 38 active compounds were screened from Polygonati Rhizoma,among which apigenin had an oral bioavailability of 23.06%and a drug-likeness score of 0.21.Compound-target network analysis indicated that apigenin had the highest degree and betweenness centrality values,suggesting it might be the key active component with antidepressant potential in Polygonati Rhizoma.In the forced swimming and tail suspension tests,rats in the HLU group showed a significant increase in immobility time compared to the control group,indicating successful establishment of the depression model.However,compared to the HLU group,rats in the HLU plus apigenin group exhibited significantly reduced immobility time.The H&E staining results of hippocampal tissue showed a significant reduction in the number of hippocampal neurons,along with numerous shrunken neurons and small vacuoles in nerve fibers in the HLU group.In contrast,the treatment group exhibited an increased number of hippocampal neurons,with improved cellular morphology.Target enrichment analysis indicated that apigenin targets were mainly involved in the regulation of apoptosis and cancer-related signaling pathways.Conclusion Apigenin significantly improved depressive-like behaviors in rats subjected to hindlimb unloading,and it has a protective effect on hippocampal tissue.It may provide a new natural active compound for the treatment of depression caused by spaceflight-induced weightlessness.

【Objective】 To explore a transfusion therapeutic plan for hemolytic disease of the newborn(HDN) caused by anti-c antibodies in mother of Asian-type DEL. 【Methods】 The ABO blood type and Rh phenotype of the mother and child were determined using the saline tube method. The mother′s RhD negativity was confirmed through classical anti-human globulin testing and RhD adsorption-elution test. The mother′s unexpected antibodies were screened and their titers were measured using classical anti-human globulin testing, antibody card test and polyamine method. Cross-matching was conducted. The three hemolysis tests were performed by antibody card test. The mother′s RHD gene typing was conducted using a commercially available RHD negative identification gene detection kit (PCR-SSP method). 【Results】 The mother exhibited a CCee Rh serological phenotype, and the DEL gene test confirmed the presence of RHD*1227A, indicating the production of anti-c antibodies. The infant displayed a DCcEe Rh serological phenotype, positive for direct antiglobulin test and red cell elution. Based on the mother′s obstetric history, clinical manifestations of the infant and blood examination results, the diagnosis was HDN caused by anti-c antibodies. 【Conclusion】 For infants with HDN caused by anti-c antibodies in mother of Asian-type DEL, DCCee Rh phenotype red blood cell transfusion is recommended, while CCee Rh phenotype deglycerolized red blood cell transfusion is recommended for the mother.

AIM: To observe the changes of corneal densitometry(CD)in patients with keratoconus after corneal cross-linking(CXL).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 32 patients(43 eyes)with keratoconus in Ningxia Eye Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022 were selected. Pentacam analysis system divided the cornea into three layers: anterior 120 μm, middle layer and posterior 60 μm, and divides it into five regions with diameters of 0-2, 2-6, 6-10, 10-12 mm and full diameter according to the diameter, and measures the CD in different ranges. The changes of CD were compared before operation and at 1, 3 and 6 mo after operation.RESULTS: There were differences in uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity and intraocular pressure before and 6 mo after operation(all P<0.05), and there was no difference in corneal endothelial cells(P=0.477). CD reached its peak at 1 mo after operation, and decreased at 3 mo and 6 mo after operation, but it was still higher than that before operation. There is a significant positive correlation between CD and Kmax in the anterior layer and the whole layer(r=0.164, P=0.016; r=0.152, P=0.023).CONCLUSION: The values of CD peaked at 1 mo after CXL, then it gradually decreased, tending to become stable at 6 mo postoperatively.

Objectives:To investigate the impact of baseline non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(non-HDL-C)levels on new-onset cardiovascular disease(CVD)in postmenopausal women. Methods:This prospective cohort study selected 8 893 postmenopausal women who participated from 2006 to 2018 employee health examination of Kailuan Group and had complete total cholesterol(TC)and HDL-C data and no history of CVD.Participants were followed up to 31 December,2021.The primary endpoint was the occurrence of CVD or death.According to the Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines(2023),the participants were divided into non-HDL-C<4.1 mmol/L group(n=6 079),4.1 mmol/L≤non-HDL-C<4.9 mmol/L group(n=1 824)and non-HDL-C≥4.9 mmol/L group(n=990).The cumulative incidence of CVD in different groups of non-HDL-C levels was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and tested by log-rank analysis.Multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the effects of different non-HDL-C levels on CVD. Results:The mean follow-up time was(10.78±4.48)years,the cumulative incidence of CVD in different non-HDL-C level groups was 1.82%,3.24%and 2.89%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed a statistically significant difference in cumulative incidence among the three groups(log-rank P<0.0001).The results of Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors such as age and sex,the HR(95%CI)values for CVD in the 4.1≤non-HDL-C<4.9 mmol/L group and the non-HDL-C≥4.9 mmol/L group were 1.40(1.13-1.74)and 1.35(1.03-1.78),respectively. Conclusions:High non-HDL-C levels are an independent risk factor for new-onset CVD in postmenopausal women.

Objective:To study the clinical and immunological features of two case of rare antisynthetase syndrome (ASS), so as to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Two cases with rare antisynthetase syndrome admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2020 to August 2022 were collected.Results:The two rare ASS were anti-Zo antibody and anti-Ha antibody positive patients, both of which had interstitial lung disease (ILD) as the main clinical manifestation and positive anti-Ro52 antibody. Two rare antisynthetase autoantibodies manifested cytoplasmic ANA indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) staining pattern, but it is different from the cytoplasmic dense speckled pattern of several common ASS antibodies. After treatment with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, case 1 died of respiratory failure due to a long course of disease and late diagnosis, the lung lesions of case 2 improved significantly.Conclusion:When encountering the cytoplasmic ANA fluorescent pattern in ILD patients, especially with anti-Ro52 antibody, it is necessary to screen more myositis specific antibodies to rule out the possibility of rare ASS.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of epilepsy patients with fixation-off sensitivity (FOS).Methods:Using "fixation-off sensitivity" and "epilepsy" as search terms, data were retrieved from the Electroencephalogram Monitoring Center Database of Xijing Hospital, Air Force Military Medical University. Information was collected on epilepsy patients with FOS who were seen at the Xijing Hospital Electroencephalogram Monitoring Center from March 2019 to May 2023. A retrospective analysis of video electroencephalograms and clinical information was conducted, along with follow-up. Single factor analysis and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the risk factors affecting the prognosis of the patients.Results:A total of 78 patients met the inclusion criteria, including 43 females and 35 males; the age at first epilepsy onset was 12.00 (8.00, 15.25) years. Among these 78 patients, 46 were diagnosed with genetic generalized epilepsy, 11 with self-limited focal epilepy, 9 with familial cortical myoclonic tremor with epilepsy, 7 with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 3 with symptomatic epilepsy, and 2 with progressive myoclonic epilepsy. The fixation-off induction trial most commonly triggered seizures in epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM) patients, with eyelid myoclonia being the most common type of seizure. Twenty-five epilepsy patients with FOS showed a positive photoparoxysmal response, of whom 6 experienced photo-convulsive response. Sixty-eight patients completed follow-up with comprehensive clinical data. At the last follow-up, 45 patients had been free from tonic-clonic seizures for at least one year. A history of febrile seizures ( OR=20.559, 95% CI 2.179-193.997, P=0.008) and cognitive decline ( OR=3.752, 95% CI 1.118-12.588, P=0.032) were identified as risk factors for poor prognosis in epilepsy patients with FOS. The age of first epilepsy onset, the number of anti-seizure medications, and the intermittent photo stimulation trial results had no correlation with prognosis. Conclusions:FOS is more common in female epilepsy patients and can be observed in both generalized and focal epilepsy syndromes. EEM patients are prone to seizures during fixation-off induction trial, and the most common type of seizures is eyelid myoclonus seizure. Patients with epilepsy with FOS who have a history of febrile seizures and cognitive impairment tend to have poor prognosis.
