Objective To analyze the expression and diagnostic value of procalcitonin(PCT),white blood cell count(WBC),and C-reactive protein(CRP)in respiratory infections in the intensive care unit(ICU),and their correlation with the clinical pulmonary infection score(CPIS).Methods A total of 105 patients with respiratory infections admitted to the ICU from March 2019 to June 2024 were selected as the observation group,while 117 patients with no respiratory infection in the ICU were selected as the control group.PCT levels in both groups were measured using the Zybio-Q7 immunoquantitative analyzer,WBC levels were measured using XT-4000i white blood cell analyzer,and CRP levels were measured using the immunoturbidimetric method.The relationship between the expression of PCT,WBC and CRP and the clinical characteristics and CPIs score of respiratory infection in ICU were analyzed.Results The proportion of patients in the observation group with ICU stay>15 days and mechanical ventilation>7 days was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Compared to the control group,the levels of PCT,WBC,CRP and CPIS score in the observation group were elevated,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ICU stay>15 days(OR=4.087),PCT(OR=6.543),WBC(OR=2.652),and CRP(OR=8.964)were risk factors for the occurrence of respiratory infections in the ICU.Pearson correlation analysis indicated a positive correlation between PCT and CPIS scores(r=0.925,P=0.001),a positive correlation between WBC and CPIS scores(r=0.739,P=0.001);and a positive correlation between CRP and CPIS scores(r=0.948,P=0.001).The ROC curve demonstrated that the combined diagnostic value of the three markers for ICU respiratory infections was higher than that of PCT,WBC,or CRP alone(P=0.002).Conclusion The combination of PCT,WBC,and CRP has high diagnostic value for ICU respiratory infections and is positively correlated with CPIs scores.Therefore,the above indicators can provide a reliable basis for the early diagnosis of respiratory infection in ICU.

Objective:To establish a day 4 embryo evaluation protocol by analyzing embryonic characteristics affecting blastocyst formation, and validate its clinical effectiveness.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included clinical data from 1 037 patients who underwent fresh in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) on day 4 in Center for Reproductive Medicine of Xingtai Meihe Reproductive and Genetic Hospital between January 2018 and April 2024. Morphological assessments were performed at (92±2) h post-fertilization. After excluding 1 326 embryos selected for fresh transfer, 2 723 embryos underwent blastocyst culture. To address selection bias in transferred embryos, the scoring system was primarily based on high-quality blastocyst formation rates. Multivariate binary regression analysis evaluated how day 4 developmental stage, fragmentation rate, stage-specific cleavage patterns, multinucleation/vacuolization affected transferable blastocyst formation rate and high-quality blastocyst rate. Regression coefficients determined parameter weights for high-quality blastocyst formation, establishing a day 4 embryo scoring protocol that compared outcomes across different grades. The scoring system was validated by comparing transferable blastocyst formation rate, high-quality blastocyst rate, and implantation rate among different day 4 embryo grades. All embryos were further rescored according to three previously reported evaluation schemes [Feil 2008, Gemma 2015, and European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) 2011]. The predictive values of these three day 4 scoring systems and the day 4 scoring system established in this study were compared using the area under the curve (AUC) receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve in predicting the formation rate of transferable blastocyst, the formation rate of high-quality blastocyst, and implantation rate. Results:In the prediction of high-quality blastocyst formation, early blastocyst showed the highest influence weight compared to embryos with the ratio of blastomere numbers on day 4 to those on day 3 (BNR) <1.2 ( B=3.398, OR=29.915, P<0.001), followed by fragmentation <10% versus ≥50% ( B=1.263, OR=3.535, P<0.001), a stage-specific cleavage pattern ( B=0.903, OR=2.467, P=0.005), and absence of multinucleation or vacuoles ( B=0.797, OR=2.218, P=0.007). Using the newly developed day 4 scoring system, embryos were graded A, B, C, D, E. Transferable blastocyst formation rates were 88.57% (279/315), 76.99% (241/313), 56.11% (280/499), 40.27% (238/591) and 14.22% (143/1 005), respectively; high-quality blastocyst rates were 51.42% (162/315), 35.46% (111/313), 20.04% (100/499), 9.47% (56/591) and 3.98% (40/1 005). All inter-group differences were statistically significant (all P<0.005). Implantation rates for transferred embryos of grades A-E declined sequentially: 63.18% (381/603), 56.19% (322/573), 38.29% (54/141), 26.53% (13/49) and 9.67% (3/31). The day 4 embryo scoring system proposed in this study demonstrated significantly higher predictive efficacy for transferable blastocyst formation rate (AUC=0.812), high-quality blastocyst formation rate (AUC=0.804), and implantation rate (AUC=0.603) compared with Feil 2008 (AUC=0.797, P<0.001; AUC=0.781, P<0.001; AUC=0.585, P<0.001), Gemma 2015 (AUC=0.773, P<0.001; AUC=0.771, P<0.001; AUC=0.542, P=0.006), and ESHRE 2011 (AUC=0.710, P<0.001; AUC=0.745, P<0.001; AUC=0.592, P<0.001). We also observed the presence of pseudo-compacted embryo, whose transferable blastocyst formation rate [38.28% (49/128)] and high-quality blastocyst formation rate [7.03% (9/128)] were similar to those of cleavage-stage embryos with a BNR≥1.2. Conclusion:The established day 4 morphological assessment system reliably predicts the potential to transferable blastocyst and high-quality blastocyst, and effectively forecasts implantation rates.

Objective:To investigate the correlation among sex hormones, body mass index (BMI) , serum bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15) and bone metabolism parameters in adolescent patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .Methods:A total of 168 PCOS patients admitted from Aug. 2022 to Aug. 2023 were included in PCOS group, and 170 healthy adolescent women during the same period were included in the non-PCOS group. At the same time, the patients in PCOS group were divided into the obese group (n=81, BMI≥28 kg/m 2) and non-obese group (n=87, BMI < 25 kg/m 2) according to the BMI level. The levels of sex hormones, BMP-15 and bone metabolism indexes in all subjects were determined, and the correlation among sex hormones, BMI, BMP-15, bone metabolism indexes of PCOS patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Results:The levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone (T) in PCOS group were higher ( t = 25.80, 27.99, P < 0.05) , and there was no statistically significant difference in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels between the two groups ( t = 1.73, P > 0.05) . The levels of LH and T in obese group were higher than those in the non-obese group ( t = 8.24, 23.90, P < 0.05) , and there was no statistically significant difference in FSH between the two groups ( t = 0.29, P > 0.05) . The BMP-15, osteocalcin and amino terminal propeptide (PINP) of type I collagen in PCOS group were lower than those in non-PCOS group ( t = 68.16, 65.89, 11.25, all P < 0.05) , and the cross-linked C-terminal peptide (CTX) of type I collagen was higher than those in non-PCOS group ( t = 13.01, P < 0.05) . BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP in obese group were lower than those in non-obese group ( t = 14.74, 7.36, 7.90, all P < 0.05) , and CTX was higher ( t = 8.55, P < 0.05) . Pearson correlation analysis showed that LH was negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP in adolescent PCOS patients ( r= -0.42, -0.51, -0.42, P < 0.05) , and positively correlated with CTX ( r= 0.44, P < 0.05) . T was negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP ( r= -0.50, -0.49, -0.42, P < 0.05) , and positively correlated with CTX ( r= 0.48, P < 0.05) ; BMI was negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP ( r= -0.60, -0.66, -0.69, P < 0.05) , and positively correlated with CTX ( r= 0.70, P < 0.05) . Conclusions:In adolescent PCOS patients, LH, T and BMI is negatively correlated with BMP-15, osteocalcin and PINP, while positively correlated with CTX, indicating that PCOS and BMI can affect BMP-15 and bone metabolic markers, which has a certain correlation with ovarian function and abnormal bone metabolism.

Objective:To assess the value of combined chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and/or copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) for the prenatal diagnosis for women with advanced maternal ages, and to explore the challenges of prenatal genetic counseling brought by the types of fetal CNVs and uncertainty of related phenotypes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on 1 841 women with advanced maternal age who underwent interventional prenatal diagnosis at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of Xiamen University Affiliated Women and Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to December 2020. Routine chromosomal karyotyping analysis and CMA/CNV-seq detection were carried out.Results:CMA/CNV-seq had detected pathogenic variants in 2 cases which had failed karyotyping analysis. Two hundred and twenty one fetal chromosomal abnormalities were detected by karyotyping analysis, among which 187 were detected by CMA/CNV-seq. CMA/CNV-seq analysis of 23 cases with balanced chromosome structural aberrations and 10 cases with low proportion mosaicisms (including a marker chromosome) had yielded a negative result. In addition, 26 cases (26/1 841, 1.4%) with pathogenic CNVs were discovered among those with a normal karyotype, of which 13 (50.0%) were recurrent CNVs associated with neurocognitive impairment, with 22q11.21 microdeletions and microduplications being the most common types (26.92%).Conclusion:The combination of karyotyping analysis and CMA/CNV-seq not only increased the rate of prenatal diagnosis, but also complemented with each other, which has facilitated genetic counseling and formulation of prenatal diagnosis strategy for the affected families.

Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by invasion of exocrine glands such as lacrimal gland and salivary gland and high lymphocyte infiltration. Interstitial cystitis is a chronic cystitis disease with frequent micturition, urgency, nocturia and/or pelvic pain as its main clinical manifestations, and its pathological changes are bladder submucosal ulcer and fibrosis as its main manifestations. Sjogren's syndrome complicated with interstitial cystitis is not uncommon. Anti-muscarinic type 3 acetylcholine receptor (M3R) antibody will not only cause gland dysfunction, but also play an important role in the pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis. The pathogenesis may include: ①Immune inflammation accompanied by mast cells and neurogenic inflammation with up-regulation of bladder sensory nerve. ②The detrusor contraction function is impaired, which induces ATP release and stimulates sensory nerve outflow.

Objective:To explore the effect of different transplantation schemes on the clinical outcomes and maternal and fetal outcomes of fresh cycle on day 4.Methods:The clinical data of 745 cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in Reproductive Medicine Center of Xingtai Infertility Specialist Hospitals from January 2019 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. In all cycles, 1-2 embryos were transferred on day 4 after fertilization. According to different embryo transfer schemes, they were divided into five groups: one partial compaction embryo group (group A, n=17), two partial compaction embryos group (group B, n=236), one full compaction above embryo group (group C, n=241), partial compaction+full compaction above group (group D, n=72), and two full compaction above embryos group (group E, n=179), the effects of different transfer schemes on clinical outcomes and maternal and fetal outcomes were compared. Results:There were no significant differences in two pronuclei (2PN) fertilization rate, 2PN cleavage rate, endometrial thickness, monozygotic twins rate, surgical reduction rate, abortion rate, stillbirth rate, cesarean section rate, male infant/female infant ratio among the five groups (all P>0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate in groups D and E [83.33% (60/72), 72.63% (130/179)] was significantly higher than that in group B [59.32% (140/236), P<0.001, P=0.005]. The live birth rate of group E [65.36% (117/179)] was significantly higher than that of group B [50.00% (118/236), P=0.002]. The implantation rate of groups C, D and E [64.73% (156/241),59.72% (86/144), 54.19% (194/358)] was significantly higher than that of group B [39.83% (188/472), all P<0.001]. The multiple birth rate [43.33% (26/60), 49.23% (64/130)] and the premature delivery rate [23.33% (14/60), 26.15% (34/130)] in groups D and E were significantly higher than those in group C [0%, all P<0.001; 7.69% (12/156), P=0.002, P<0.001]. The gestational weeks of delivery in group E [38.0 (36.0,39.0) weeks] was significantly lower than that in group C [39.0 (38.0,39.3) weeks, P<0.001]. Compared with the one embryo transfer group (group A, group C), the birth weight of the two embryos transfer group (group B, group D, group E) was significantly lower ( P<0.001). The low birth weight infants rate in group D [20.90% (14/67)] and group E [28.40% (48/169)] was significantly higher than that in group C [3.85% (5/130), P<0.001]. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusted, the pregnancy rate in group C was significantly higher than that in group A ( OR=0.353, 95% CI: 0.125-0.997, P=0.049). The live birth rate of group E was significantly higher than that of group C ( OR=1.842, 95% CI: 1.172-2.895, P=0.008), and the premature delivery rate of groups B, D and E was significantly higher than that of group C ( OR=2.546, 95% CI: 1.079-6.005, P=0.033; OR=6.737, 95% CI: 2.566-17.689, P<0.001; OR=5.863, 95% CI: 2.494-13.785, P<0.001). Conclusion:On day 4 of the fresh cycle, the pregnancy rate and the live birth rate of the full compaction or above embryos are significantly higher than those of the partial compaction embryos. In clinical work, it is recommended to select full compaction embryos or above, and then select partially compaction embryos for single embryo transfer to achieve optimal pregnancy outcomes while reducing the multiple pregnancy rate, premature delivery rate, and low birth weight infant rate.

Objective:To investigate the effects of day 4 (D4) embryo transfer on clinical outcomes and maternal and infant outcomes in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in fresh cycles. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 361 IVF and ICSI cycles from January 2019 to December 2021 in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Xingtai Infertility Specialist Hospitals in a cohort study. In all cycles, one of the best quality embryo was transferred at D4 or D5 after fertilization. The clinical outcomes and maternal and fetal outcomes of D4 transfer group and D5 transfer group were compared.Results:Compared with D4 transfer group, the estradiol value on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day significantly increased in D5 transfer group [3 516 (2 273, 4 116) ng/L vs. 2 940 (1 935, 3 877) ng/L, P=0.023], and the luteinizing hormone (LH) value on hCG injection day significantly decreased [0.82 (0.63, 1.11) μg/L vs. 0.94 (0.69, 1.20) μg/L, P=0.026], two pronuclei (2PN) fertilization rate [71.13% (929/1 306)] and the available embryo rate [51.73% (509/984)] in D5 transfer group were significantly higher than those in D4 transfer group [67.26% (2 539/3 775), P=0.010; 48.00% (1 306/2 721), P=0.045]. The clinical pregnancy rate [63.37% (173/273)] and the live birth rate [53.11% (145/273)] in D4 transfer group were significantly higher than those in D5 transfer group [46.59% (41/88), P=0.005; 36.36% (32/88), P=0.006]. There were no significant differences in ectopic pregnancy rate, monozygotic twins rate, abortion rate, preterm birth rate, stillbirth rate, caesarean section rate, delivery gestation, male/female ratio and birth weight (all P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the days of embryo transfer had a significant correlation with the pregnancy rate and the live birth rate ( OR=0.468, 95% CI: 0.266-0.824, P=0.009; OR=0.481, 95% CI: 0.273-0.847, P=0.011). Conclusion:In IVF/ICSI of fresh cycles, the clinical pregnancy rate and the live birth rate of D4 transplantation are better than that of D5 transplantation, and the maternal and fetal outcomes are similar. Therefore, D4 embryo transplantation can be preferred in clinical work.

According to different embryo transfer schemes, they were divided into five groups: one partial compaction embryo group (group A, n=17), two partial compaction embryos group (group B, n=236), one full compaction above embryo group (group C, n=241), partial compaction+full compaction above group (group D, n=72), and two full compaction above embryos group (group E, n=179), the effects of different transfer schemes on clinical outcomes and maternal and fetal outcomes were compared. Results:There were no significant differences in two pronuclei (2PN) fertilization rate, 2PN cleavage rate, endometrial thickness, monozygotic twins rate, surgical reduction rate, abortion rate, stillbirth rate, cesarean section rate, male infant/female infant ratio among the five groups (all P>0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate in groups D and E [83.33% (60/72), 72.63% (130/179)] was significantly higher than that in group B [59.32% (140/236), P<0.001, P=0.005]. The live birth rate of group E [65.36% (117/179)] was significantly higher than that of group B [50.00% (118/236), P=0.002]. The implantation rate of groups C, D and E [64.73% (156/241),59.72% (86/144), 54.19% (194/358)] was significantly higher than that of group B [39.83% (188/472), all P<0.001]. The multiple birth rate [43.33% (26/60), 49.23% (64/130)] and the premature delivery rate [23.33% (14/60), 26.15% (34/130)] in groups D and E were significantly higher than those in group C [0%, all P<0.001; 7.69% (12/156), P=0.002, P<0.001]. The gestational weeks of delivery in group E [38.0 (36.0,39.0) weeks] was significantly lower than that in group C [39.0 (38.0,39.3) weeks, P<0.001]. Compared with the one embryo transfer group (group A, group C), the birth weight of the two embryos transfer group (group B, group D, group E) was significantly lower ( P<0.001). The low birth weight infants rate in group D [20.90% (14/67)] and group E [28.40% (48/169)] was significantly higher than that in group C [3.85% (5/130), P<0.001]. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusted, the pregnancy rate in group C was significantly higher than that in group A ( OR=0.353, 95% CI: 0.125-0.997, P=0.049). The live birth rate of group E was significantly higher than that of group C ( OR=1.842, 95% CI: 1.172-2.895, P=0.008), and the premature delivery rate of groups B, D and E was significantly higher than that of group C ( OR=2.546, 95% CI: 1.079-6.005, P=0.033; OR=6.737, 95% CI: 2.566-17.689, P<0.001; OR=5.863, 95% CI: 2.494-13.785, P<0.001). Conclusion:On day 4 of the fresh cycle, the pregnancy rate and the live birth rate of the full compaction or above embryos are significantly higher than those of the partial compaction embryos. In clinical work, it is recommended to select full compaction embryos or above, and then select partially compaction embryos for single embryo transfer to achieve optimal pregnancy outcomes while reducing the multiple pregnancy rate, premature delivery rate, and low birth weight infant rate.
