OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the strategies and outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART) for fertility preservation and promotion in women with malignant tumors, and to analyze ART outcomes across different tumor types.
METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective analysis of female patients who underwent ART for fertility preservation or treatment at the Reproductive Center of the Women's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023. A total of 163 ART-aided pregnancy patients with malignant tumors were included in the case group, among which 6 patients underwent embryo cryopreservation for fertility preservation before radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Additionally, 11 unmarried women underwent oocyte cryopreservation due to borderline ovarian tumors, ovarian cancer, breast cancer, or hematological malignancies. The control group was selected from women without a history of malignant tumors who received ART treatment during the same period, using propensity score matching at a ratio of 1∶2, resulting in 326 cases. Data were collected through the reproductive medical record system and telephone follow-up (as of October 31, 2024). Baseline characteristics, controlled ovarian hyperstimulation parameters, laboratory indicators, and pregnancy outcomes were compared between case and control groups and among patients with different tumor types, and the tumor recurrence of the patients was followed up.
RESULTS:
Patients in the case group had significantly lower ovarian reserve (AMH, AFC) and a higher proportion of diminished ovarian reserve compared to the control group (all P<0.01). Regarding the ovulation induction protocol, the proportion of patients using the minimal stimulation protocol in the case group was significantly higher than that in the control group (29.45% vs. 12.88%, P<0.01), and the total dosage of gonadotropins used was lower (P<0.01). In terms of assisted reproductive outcomes, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in the number of retrieved oocytes, number of high-quality embryos, fertilization rate, cumulative pregnancy rate, cumulative live birth rate, or miscarriage rate (all P>0.05). However, the number of oocyte retrieval cycles and embryo transfer cycles required to achieve a live birth outcome in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that there were no significant differences in cumulative pregnancy rate and live birth rate among patients with different tumor types (thyroid cancer, reproductive system tumors, breast cancer, lung cancer). Nevertheless, lung cancer patients had the lowest ovarian reserve and required the most oocyte retrieval cycles due to their older age; breast cancer patients had a relatively lower fertilization rate partially because some of them were complicated with male factors. A follow-up of 154 tumor patients (with a follow-up rate of 88.5%) revealed that 6 patients (4.20%) had tumor recurrence, and 1 breast cancer patient died due to tumor recurrence. None of the 11 unmarried patients who had undergone oocyte cryopreservation had used the cryopreserved oocytes for assisted pregnancy yet, and 1 patient who had undergone fertility preservation died due to tumor recurrence.
CONCLUSIONS
Women of reproductive age with malignant tumors are at risk of diminished fertility. ART can effectively preserve and promote fertility, enabling favorable pregnancy and live birth outcomes. It is recommended to initiate a multidisciplinary assessment promptly prior to radiotherapy/chemotherapy and formulate an individualized ART regimen for fertility preservation or promotion, so as to achieve reproductive goals or safeguard future fertility potential.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system (CNS).Methods:A cross-sectional study and analysis were conducted to summarize the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 9 918 patients with CNS infectious diseases, who were diagnosed and treated at 29 hospitals across China from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2020. Data collected included demographic data, clinical manifestations, health economic indicators, and prognostic outcomes.Results:Among the 9 918 collected cases of CNS infectious diseases, 5 559 were male (56.0%) and 4 359 were female (44.0%), with an onset age of 38 (25, 53) years. Education level: slightly more junior high school education (2 651 cases, 26.7%), and less elementary school education and below (2 181 cases, 22.0%) were found. Occupational distribution: farmers were found predominant (3 215 cases, 32.4%), followed by workers (1 826 cases, 18.4%) and students (1 633 cases, 16.5%). Clinical manifestations: headache (6 074 cases, 61.2%), fever (5 869 cases, 59.2%) and positive meningeal irritation signs (2 273 cases, 22.9%) were the 3 most common clinical manifestations, followed by nausea and (or) vomiting (2 095 cases, 21.1%), impaired consciousness (2 077 cases, 20.9%), psychiatric symptom (1 866 cases, 18.8%) and epilepsy (1 627 cases, 16.4%), etc., and cranial nerve involvement was found in 669 cases (6.7%). Major pathogens included viruses in 6 814 cases (68.7%), Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1 677 cases (16.9%), common bacteria in 864 cases (8.7%), fungi in 254 cases (2.6%), spirochetes of syphilis in 183 cases (1.8%), parasites in 121 cases (1.2%), and rickettsiae in 5 cases (0.1%). Urban-rural distribution: slightly more cases were found in the countryside (5 418 cases, 54.6%) than in the towns (4 500 cases, 45.4%). Distribution of onset by season: 2 412 cases (24.3%) fell ill in spring, 2 835 cases (28.6%) in summer, 2 187 cases (22.1%) in fall, and 2 484 cases (25.0%) in winter. Health economics: the duration of hospitalization was 15 (8, 27) days, and the cost of hospitalization was 1.53 (0.91, 3.02)×10 000 yuan. Prognosis: 9 531 cases (96.1%) were cured or improved, and 92 cases (0.9%) died. Conclusions:The pathogens responsible for CNS infectious diseases are predominantly viruses. Although the incidence is slightly higher during the summer months, the overall seasonal pattern is not particularly pronounced. These infections are more commonly observed in young and middle-aged males and present with a diverse range of clinical manifestations, contributing to a significant disease burden.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the effect of intelligent voice follow-up system in elderly patients with diabetes.Methods:From March 2021 to June 2022, 182 patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized in the Healthcare Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 91 cases in each group. The control group implemented routine follow-up management, while the observation group implemented follow-up management based on an intelligent voice follow-up system. The medication compliance, diet behavior compliance, fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, 49 cases (53.85%) in the observation group fully complied with medication, 32 cases (35.16%) partially complied, and 10 cases (10.99%) did not comply. In the control group, 35 cases (38.46%) fully complied with medication, 34 cases (37.36%) partially complied, and 22 cases (24.18%) did not comply. The medication compliance of the observation group was better than that of the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=2.502, P<0.05). The medication compliance of the observation group after intervention was better than before intervention, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=3.293, P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of all dimensions and total scores of the Dietary Behavior Compliance Scale in the observation group were higher than those in the control group and before intervention, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin in the observation group were lower than those in the control group and before the intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The intelligent voice follow-up system can effectively improve the medication compliance and diet compliance of elderly diabetes patients, and improve the blood glucose control, which is worthy of clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Yishen daluo decoction on inflammatory factors and cyclic adenosine monophosphate(cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)/cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) signal pathway in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model mice by inhibiting the expressions of β-arrestin1, and to explore the mechanism of Yishen daluo decoction in the treatment of EAE. METHODS Sixty mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, TCM group (Yishen daluo decoction 20 g/kg), positive control group (prednisone acetate 3.9 mg/kg), β-arrestin1 siRNA adeno- associated virus (AAV-β) group, AAV-β+TCM group, with 10 mice in each group. Except for normal group, EAE model was made in other groups. AAV-β group and AAV-β+TCM group were injected with AAV-β via tail vein to interfere with the expression of β -arrestin1 protein. Starting from the 8th day of modeling, they were given corresponding drug solution/normal saline intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 14 days. The neurological function score of mice was detected; the pathological and morphological changes were observed in the brain and spinal cord tissues of mice; the serum levels of inflammatory factors [interleukin-2 (IL-2), IL-23, interferon-γ (IFN-γ)] in mice were determined; the expressions of β-arrestin1, cAMP, PKA and CREB in brain and spinal cord were detected. RESULTS Compared with normal group, neurological function scores, serum levels of inflammatory factors, and protein expressions of β-arrestin1 in brain and spinal cord were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P< 0.01); protein expressions of PKA, CREB and cAMP in brain and spinal cord were decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The deep staining of cellular shrinkage and aggregation of inflammatory cells were observed in most neurons of the brain and spinal cord, with varying degrees of demyelinating. Compared with model group, the neurological function scores, pathological changes in brain and spinal cord tissues, and most indicators (except for CREB and cAMP proteins in the brain tissue of AAV-β group) were significantly reversed (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Compared with AAV- β group, the neurological function scores, the levels of IFN-γ in serum and β-arrestin1 in spinal cord were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), PKA and cAMP in brain and spinal cord tissues were significantly increased in AAV- β +TCM group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Yishen daluo decoction can inhibit the expression of β-arrestin1 in the central nervous system thus activating the cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway, relieving nervous system inflammation, and ultimately alleviates the symptoms of EAE.

Objective:To analyze the lifestyle for brain health related factors and demographic characteristics through machine learning to achieve the assessing effect of mild cognitive impairement prevalence risk among rural elderly people in Guizhou.Methods:From July to August 2019, a multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 235 rural elderly people aged 60 years and above in Guizhou Province as the subjects, and the investigation was performed with questionnaire and physical examination.The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive function, and the important features and optimal number of features based on 12 LIBRA factors and 4 demographic characteristics were selected.Logistic regression and random forest algorithm were used to establish a evaluation model for the risk of mild cognitive impairment in the elderly.The evaluation efficacy of the model was also assessed using a combination of precision, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1 score and area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic curve, and the Delong method was used to check the difference of AUC values between the two models.Results:A total of 291 subjects were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, with a detection rate of 23.56% (291/1 235). The AUC values of logistic regression and random forest models evaluating the risk of mild cognitive impairment in the rural elderly were 0.758 and 0.820, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05). The random forest model had better evaluations with an accuracy of 0.823, precision of 0.805, sensitivity of 0.874, specificity of 0.767 and F1 score of 0.838, all of which were better than those of the logistic regression model.And the random forest model was also more stable after 10-fold cross-validation. Conclusion:The lifestyle for brain health related factors combined with demographic characteristics can more accurately evaluate the risk of mild cognitive impairment among rural elderly people in Guizhou.The random forest model is better than the logistic regression model.
