OBJECTIVES:
To explore the effects of exogenous trigger (hCG/GnRHa) versus endogenous LH surge in natural cycle IVF/ICSI (NC-IVF/ICSI) for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,118 NC-IVF/ICSI cycles from two reproductive centers between 2013 and 2024. Propensity score matching (PSM) and multivariate logistic regression were used to adjust for confounding factors. The trigger-day hormone threshold was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Outcome measures included oocyte retrieval rate, 2PN fertilization rate, clinical available embryo rate, high-quality embryo rate, fresh cycle clinical pregnancy rate (CPR), and live birth rate (LBR).
RESULTS:
After adjusting for confounders via PSM and logistic regression, the exogenous trigger group demonstrated significantly better outcomes across all the evaluated parameters (oocyte retrieval rate, 2PN fertilization rate, transferable embryo rate, high-quality embryo rate, fresh cycle CPR, and LBR) than the endogenous LH surge group (P<0.05). Age-stratified analysis revealed that for the entire cohort, exogenous triggering significantly increased the number of transferable embryos and high-quality embryos (P<0.001). In the 35-39 years old subgroup, exogenous triggering showed significant advantages in oocyte yield, high-quality embryo rate, CPR, and LBR (P<0.05) and resulted in the most pronounced improvement in LBR (OR=6.25, 95% CI: 1.34-29.23). ROC analysis established a decision-day LH threshold of 19.055 mIU/mL (AUC=0.945, specificity=93.3%) for precise stratification of the clinical pathways.
CONCLUSIONS
For DOR patients undergoing NC-IVF/ICSI, exogenous triggering comprehensively improves the treatment outcomes, particularly providing significant live birth benefits for women aged 35-40 years. An individualized protocol incorporating the LH threshold (19.055 mIU/mL) effectively enhances embryonic developmental potential and live birth rates.

Obesity is related to many diseases,such as diabetes,hypertension,angina pectoris and arthritis,and has become an increasingly serious global public health problem.Chronic low-grade inflammation and activation of immune system are involved in pathogenesis of obesity-related insulin resistance.Insulin is only hormone that can lower blood sugar,and works through insulin signaling pathway.Under normal circumstances,interaction of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory system maintains immune homeostasis.Dynamic balance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory reactions determines occurrence,development and outcome of inflamma-tion.Activation of inflammatory signaling pathways can induce insulin resistance in central and peripheral tissues,and Toll-like recep-tor 4(TLR4)signaling pathway is one of important pathways that produce pro-inflammatory responses.It has known high-fat diet is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation,which may due to saturated fatty acids activate TLR4 receptors,stimulate expression of inflammatory cytokines,and inhibit insulin signal transduction.In anti-inflammatory system,cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway(CAP)is a neuroimmunological regulation pathway,which is fast,reversible,accurate and can adapt to changes in inflammatory input signals,which is mainly composed of vagus nerve,spleen and splenic sympathetic nerve,acetylcholine and α7 nicotinic acetyl-choline receptor(α7nAChR).Activation of CAP can improve obesity-induced inflammation and insulin resistance.This review focus on obesity-mediated inflammation,CAP anti-inflammatory pathways,and their relationship with insulin resistance,in order to enrich molecular immune mechanism of insulin resistance,and provide a basis for research of anti-inflammatory diagnosis and treatment of insulin resistance-related diseases.

Objective:To investigate the features of median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS) in computed tomography angiography (CTA).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinical and imaging data of 56 patients with MALS who were admitted to Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai JiaoTong University School of Medicine from November 2019 to October 2020 were collected. There were 30 males and 26 females, aged from 19 to 78 years, with a median age of 54 years. All 56 patients underwent CTA. Observation indicators: (1) CTA examination; (2) correlation analysis; (3) surgical situations. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Spearman correlation analysis with test level of 0.05 was used to analyze the correlation between celiac trunk stenosis and the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery and the minimum distance of celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery. Results:(1) CTA examination. ① Celiac trunk stenosis: results of cross sectional examina-tion of CTA showed that of 56 patients, there were 2 cases of celiac trunk occlusion, 10 cases of severe stenosis, 9 cases of moderate stenosis and 35 cases of mild stenosis. Results of sagittal examination of CTA showed that of 56 patients, there were 2 cases of celiac trunk occlusion, 21 cases of severe stenosis, 15 cases of moderate stenosis and 18 cases of mild stenosis. ② Examination of patients with different degree of vascular stenosis: according to the results of sagittal examination of CTA, the 2 cases with celiac trunk occlusion were negative for aneurysms, aortic dissection or vascular variations but positive for compensated varix of the anterior and posterior pancreatico-duodenal arches. Of the 21 cases with celiac trunk severe stenosis, 2 cases were positive for aneurysms, 1 case was positive for aortic dissection, 7 cases were positive for compensated varix of the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arches, 8 cases were positive for collateral circula-tions of anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal archs and 8 cases were positive for vascular variation. Of the 15 cases with celiac trunk moderate stenosis, 2 cases were positive for aneurysms, 3 cases were positive for aortic dissection, 2 cases were positive for compensated varix of the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arches, 4 cases were positive for collateral circulations of anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal archs and 7 cases were positive for vascular variation. Of the 18 cases with celiac trunk mild stenosis, 1 case was positive for aneurysms, 2 cases were positive for aortic dissection, 7 cases were positive for collateral circulations of the anterior and posterior pancreaticoduodenal arches, 6 cases were positive for vascular variation. All 56 patients were negative for ischemia of liver, spleen and stomach. ③ Original location of celiac trunk: of 56 patients, there were 43 cases had celiac trunk originated horizontally from the lower edge of T12 vertebral body, 2 cases had celiac trunk originated from the middle of T12 vertebral body, 1 case had celiac trunk originated from the upper part of T12 vertebral body, 7 cases had celiac trunk originated from the upper part of L1 vertebral body, 1 case had celiac trunk originated from the middle of L1 vertebral body and 2 cases had occluding celiac trunk. (2) Correlation analysis: results of sagittal observation on CTA examination showed the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery of the 56 patients was (6.0±4.0) mm. The distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery of patients with celiac trunk mild, moderate or severe stenosis were (6.2±2.8)mm, (8.1±4.4)mm and (5.3±3.2)mm respectively. There were 23 cases of the 56 patients had the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery <5 mm. Results of correlation analysis showed that the degree of celiac trunk stenosis was not related to the distance between the original location of celiac trunk and original location of superior mesenteric artery ( r=?0.205, P>0.05). Results of sagittal observation on CTA examination showed the shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery of the 56 patients was (3.8±2.4)mm. The shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery of patients with celiac trunk mild, moderate or severe stenosis were (4.2±2.0)mm, (4.4±3.3)mm and (3.0±1.9)mm, respectively. There were 45 cases of the 56 patients had the shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery <5 mm. Results of correlation analysis showed that the degree of celiac trunk stenosis was not related to the shortest distance between celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery ( r=?0.249, P>0.05). (3) Surgical situations: of 56 patients, 2 cases were positive for clinical symptoms of abdominal pain, 54 cases were negative for clinical symptoms, 4 cases under-went surgical treatment and 52 cases not underwent surgical treatment. Of the 4 cases undergoing surgical treatment, 2 cases with abdominal pain were diagnosed as MALS by upper abdominal CTA. Celiac trunk of the 2 cases were severe stenosis and stents implantation under celiac arteriography were performed. Results of postoperative CTA showed celiac trunk was negative for obvious stenosis. The other 2 cases who were negative for clinical symptoms of MALS were planed to pancreaticoduo-denectomy for pancreatic head tumor. Results of preoperative CTA showed severe stenosis of celiac trunk and arterial bypass grafting was performed for the 2 cases during pancreaticoduodenectomy to alleviate liver ischemia caused by gastroduodenal artery ligation which would avoid the incidence of postoperative MALS associated complications. Result of postoperative CTA three-dimensional reconstruction showed the bypass vessel was unobstructed. Conclusion:Based on sagittal result of CTA examination, the stenosis of celiac trunk, the anatomical relationship between celiac trunk and arcuate ligament and the original location of celiac trunk of MALS patients can be evaluated.

Objective:
To explore the persistent viral response rate (SVR) in patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C after interferon (IFN) (peginterferon 360 μg qw) and ribavirin (PR) therapy failure. The SVR of patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C was improved by PR combined with direct antiviral agents (DAA) and proper extension of the course of therapy was applied.
Methods:
Seventeen cases of refractory chronic hepatitis C after IFN(peginterferon 360 μg qw) and ribavirin therapy failure were given PR combined with DAA treatment. The side effects were observed and corresponding adjustments were made on drug dosage, and SVR was recorded.
Results:
The 17 cases completed the whole course of treatment with PR combined with DAA for 24 weeks. All the 17 patients obtained rapid viralogical response (RVR) and SVR. After treatment, the SVR rate was 100% in patients including those with virologic relapse, retreated or previously non-responsive patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C. The adverse reaction of PR combined with DAA 24 weeks was generally mild.
Conclusions
The use of PR combined with DAA re-treatment in patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C can achieve SVR and shorten the treatment time. PR combined with DAA re-therapy is one of effective treatments to improve the rate of sustained viral response in patients with refractory chronic hepatitis C.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Krüppel like factor 5 (KLF5) and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11a (TNFRSF11a) in cervical cancer tissues and their effect on proliferation,migration,and invasion of HeLa cells. Methods Microarray technology was used to detect the mRNA expression of gene in cytocine stimulusin cervical tissues,and the result was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The expressions of KLF5 and TNFRSF11a in cervical tissues were detected by double immunofluorescence staining. HeLa cells were transfected with specific small interfering RNA to knock down the endogenous TNFRSF11a and KLF5 and were infected with adenovirus containing KLF5 to over-express KLF5,respectively. Protein level was detected by Western blot. The regulatory effect of KLF5 on candidate target gene (TNFRSF11a) was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The activity of the cell proliferation,migration,and invasion was detected by using cell counting kit-8 assay and Transwell assay. Results The results of microarray technology showed that the expressions of KLF5 and TNFRSF11a were significantly higher in cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues compared with normal cervical tissues (P=0.002,P=0.045),and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that the mRNA expressions of KLF5 and TNFRSF11a were significantly higher in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅰ,CINⅡ-Ⅲ and cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues compared with normal cervical tissues (KLF5:F=32.79,P=0.018,P=0.014,and P=0.011;TNFRSF11a:F=36.72,P=0.013,P=0.010,and P=0.009) and double immunofluorescence staining showed that the protein expressions of KLF5 and TNFRSF11a were significantly higher in CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ and cervical squamous cell carcinoma tissues compared with normal cervical tissues (KLF5:F=42.38,P=0.014,P=0.008,and P=0.002;TNFRSF11a:F=35.42,P=0.021,P=0.012,and P=0.004) and increased with the carcinogenesis. The experiment in vitro confirmed that KLF5 promotes proliferation,migration,and invasion of HeLa by up-regulating TNFRSF11a expression. Clinical analysis showed that the expression of TNFRSF11a mRNA was positively correlated with tumor pathological grading,clinical stage,depth of invasion,and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05). Conclusion KLF5 and TNFRSF11a are related to cervical cancer. KLF5 promote the proliferation,migration,and invasion of cervical cancer cells partly by upregulating the transcription of TNFRSF11a.

Objective To preliminarily develop a scale to measure the proactive socialization behavior of new nurses and test validity and reliability of the scale, to explore the impact of proactive socialization behavior on turnover intention. Methods Using a questionnaire survey method to investigate 696 new nurses who had worked within three years in nursing organization, structural equation model and hierarchical line regression methods were performed to analyze the data. Results Proactive socialization behavior scale included eight items under one dimension;the consistency coefficient of scale was 0.858;new scale had a good convergent and predictive validity;the proactive socialization behavior of new nurses was significantly negative related to turnover intention (β=-0.236,P<0.01). Conclusions The proactive socialization behavior scale has a good reliability, convergent and predictive validity. Meanwhile, new nurses with higher level of proactive socialization behavior have lower turnover intention. Because they can quickly fit the new environment, role definition and organizational culture, which in turn organization embeddedness is promoted.
