OBJECTIVE:
To study the clinical efficacy of Wenyang Lishui Formula (WYLSF) in preventing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and explore the suitable range of estradiol (E2) on the human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) day in patients with OHSS using WYLSF.
METHODS:
Part I: eligible patients at high risk for OHSS undergoing ovulation induction between January and December, 2023 were randomized into 2 groups based on the actual treatment. The treatment group received 200 mL WYLSF formula twice daily for 5 days after oocyte retrieval in a combination of lifestyle coaching (LC) intervention including regular diet and exercise, whereas the LC group received LC intervention alone. The incidence of OHSS, OHSS self-assessment scales, changes in E2 levels on HCG day and 5 days after oocyte retrieval, ovarian morphology changes, and menstrual recovery were compared between the two groups. Part II: patients at high risk for OHSS treated with WYLSF were studied. The optimal E2 threshold on the HCG day was determined using the maximum selection test, and a multivariate analysis was adopted to compare the relationship between different E2 levels on HCG day and hospitalization rate, incidence of moderate to severe OHSS, and self-assessment scales, to explore the preventive effect of WYLSF on OHSS in patients with varying E2 levels.
RESULTS:
A total of 120 patients were included in the Part I analysis. The treatment group (60 cases) showed a significant reduction in the incidence, duration, and severity of abdominal distension, as well as the incidence of vomiting compared with the LC group (P<0.05). The post-retrieval E2 levels in the treatment group decreased significantly more (P=0.032). Among 1,652 patients treated with WYLSF in the Part II, 90 patients with ⩽ 10092 pmol/L, 159 with >31074 pmol/L, and 1,403 in the middle range group were formed based on E2 levels on HCG day in Part two analysis. Univariate and regression analyses showed that patients with E2 levels >31073 pmol/L had a significantly higher incidence of moderate to severe OHSS compared to those with E2 levels ⩽ 10092 pmol/L (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
WYLSF can effectively reduce specific symptoms in high-risk OHSS patients after ovulation induction and significantly lower E2 levels. It may be more suitable for high-risk OHSS patients with E2 levels <31073 pmol/L on HCG day. (Registration No. MR-11-23-032493, https://www.medicalresearch.org.cn/login ).

Objective:To analyze the significance of total vitamin D(tVD),total procollagen type Ⅰ amino-terminal propeptide(tPINP)and β-CrossLaps(β-CTx)in the staging and prognosis of patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:A total of 54 patients with newly diagnosed MM admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from 2020 to 2022 were selected as the observation group(MM group),and 50 healthy persons who underwent physical examinations in our hospital were selected as the control group.The expression levels of tVD,tPINP and β-CTx in the two groups were detected by chemiluminescence method.The differences in the expression levels of tVD,tPINP and β-CTx among MM patients at different ISS stages were analyzed.The expression levels of tVD,tPINP and β-CTx in MM patients with different levels of hemoglobin(Hb),serum calcium(Ca),creatinine(Crea),albumin(ALB),β2-microglobulin(β2-MG)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were compared.The correlations between the expression levels of tVD,tPINP,β-CTx and the aforementioned clinical parameters were analyzed,respectively.The relationship between the expression levels of tVD,tPINP,β-CTx and the progression-free survival(PFS)of MM patients was analyzed.Results:The expression level of tVD in the MM group was significantly lower than that in the control group(21.73±14.45 ng/ml vs 30.78±9.94 ng/ml,P=0.022).The expression level of β-CTx in the MM group was significantly higher than that in the control group(1.43±0.99 ng/ml vs 0.53±0.29 ng/ml,P=0.013).The tVD level in MM patients with ISS stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of MM patients with ISS stage Ⅲ(29.50±14.59 ng/ml vs 12.62±7.73 ng/ml,P=0.028),indicating that the higher the ISS stage,the lower the tVD level.The tPINP andβ-CTx levels in MM patients with high Ca levels(>2.65 mmol/L)were significantly higher than those in patients with low Ca levels(≤ 2.65 mmol/L)(P=0.016,P=0.021).The tVD level of MM patients was positively correlated with the ALB level(r=0.570),tPINP was positively correlated with Ca and β2-MG levels(r=0.791,r=0.673),and β-CTx was positively correlated with tPINP level(r=0.616).The PFS of the low tVD expression group was significantly lower than that of the high tVD expression group(P=0.041).Conclusion:The expression level of tVD is decreased in MM patients,which can be used as an indicator to evaluate the disease stage and prognosis of the patients.The β-CTx expression level is increased in MM patients.tPINP and β-CTx may be correlated with clinical symptoms such as osteolytic lesions and renal function changes in MM patients.

AIM To explore the clinical effects of comprehensive treatment regimen of traditional Chinese medicine on patients with refractory rhinosinusitis.METHODS One hundred and sixty-four patients were randomly assigned into control group(82 cases)for 3-month intervention of comprehensive treatment regimen of western medicine(Physiological Seawater Nasal Spray,Budesonide Nasal Spray,Clarithromycin Tablets),and observation group(82 cases)for 3-month intervention of comprehensive treatment regimen of traditional Chinese medicine(Xinzhi Tongqiao Granules,Xinbai Nasal Fumigation Powder,acupuncture of sphenopalatine ganglion).The changes in clinical effects,subjective disease indices(clinical symptom scores,SNOT-20 score,Lung Meridian Heat Accumulation Syndrome score),objective disease indices(Lund-Kennedy score,T&T olfactory score,MTT,MTR),inflammatory indices(LTC4,IL-17a,IL-33,ECP),immune indices(CD4+,CD8+,Treg,Th17,CD4+/CD8+,Th17/Treg)and safety indices were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total control rate than the control group(P<0.05).After the treatment and at 3-month follow-up,the two groups displayed decreased clinical symptom scores,inflammatory indices,CD8+,Th17,Th17/Treg,SNOT-20 score,Lung Meridian Heat Accumulation Syndrome score,Lund-Kennedy score,T&T olfactory score(P<0.05),increased CD4+,Treg,CD4+/CD8+,MTR(P<0.05),and shortened MTT(P<0.05),especially for the observation group(P<0.05).No obvious adverse reactions were observable in the two groups.CONCLUSION For the patients with refractory rhinosinusitis,the comprehensive treatment regimen of traditional Chinese medicine can safely and effectively improve inflammatory responses,immune functions and mucociliary motor functions,repair the status and functions of nasal mucosa,alleviate subjective and objective symptoms,and enhance life quality.
