ObjectiveTo analyze the effects of the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol on embryo euploidy rate and clinical pregnancy outcomes in infertile patients. MethodsWomen who underwent Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) cycles were selected as study participants (a total of 656 cycles and 3 081 blastocysts). Participants were divided into two age groups (≤35 years and >35 years) and further stratified by ovarian stimulation protocol: the Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation (PPOS) group (n=48 and 60, respectively), the Luteal Phase Long Protocol (LP) group (n=160 and 57, respectively), and the Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist Protocol (AP) group (n=220 and 111, respectively). Baseline characteristics, ovarian stimulation outcomes, and embryo development parameters were compared among the three protocols within each age group. Additionally, clinical pregnancy outcomes of the first frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle were compared. The primary outcome measure was the embryo euploidy rate. Results① In the ≤35 years age group, baseline follicle-stimulating hormone (bFSH) levels were significantly higher in the PPOS group compared to the LP and AP groups, and the bFSH/bLH ratio was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the AP group (P < 0.05). In the >35 years age group, bFSH levels in both the PPOS and AP groups were significantly higher than in the LP group (P < 0.05).② In the ≤35 years group, there were no significant differences in the rates of metaphase II (MII) oocytes, 2-pronuclei (2 PN) zygotes, cleavage, 2 PN cleavage, blastocyst formation, high-quality embryos, or embryo euploidy between the PPOS group and either the LP or AP groups. However, the PPOS group showed significantly lower values for the following parameters compared to the other two groups: total oocytes retrieved, number of MII oocytes, number of 2 PN zygotes, number of cleaved embryos, number of 2 PN cleaved embryos, number of blastocysts formed, number of high-quality embryos, number of high-grade blastocysts, number of transferable embryos, number of cryopreserved embryos, number of biopsied blastocysts, number of euploid embryos, and the rate of obtaining at least one euploid embryo. In the >35 years group, no significant differences were observed among the PPOS, LP, and AP groups in the rates of MII oocytes, 2 PN cleavage, blastocyst formation, or in the number of euploid embryos, euploidy rate, and the rate of obtaining at least one euploid embryo. However, the PPOS group had significantly lower numbers of total oocytes retrieved, MII oocytes, 2 PN zygotes, cleaved embryos, 2 PN cleaved embryos, blastocysts formed, transferable embryos, and cryopreserved embryos compared to the LP group (P<0.05). The high-quality embryo rate was significantly lower in the PPOS group than in the AP group (P<0.05). The numbers of high-quality embryos, high-grade blastocysts, and biopsied blastocysts were significantly lower in the PPOS group than in both the LP and AP groups (P<0.05). Notably, the 2 PN fertilization rate was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in the AP group, and the cleavage rate was significantly higher in the PPOS group than in both the LP and AP groups (P<0.05).③ No significant differences were found among the three groups in the biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate, early miscarriage rate, and late miscarriage rate following the first FET cycle. ConclusionCompared to the other two protocols, the PPOS protocol does not significantly affect embryo euploidy or clinical pregnancy rates. However, in freeze-all cycles with PGT-A, the PPOS protocol does not reduce the rate of chromosomally normal embryos but may decrease the total number of available embryos. It may not be the optimal choice for younger women, but it can be considered as a viable option for women of advanced maternal age.

ObjectiveTo focused on patients with unexplained repeated implantation failure (URIF) and compare the clinical efficacy of different administration routes of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles. MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted. A total of 187 patients with URIF who received medical treatment were enrolled in this study. According to whether G-CSF was used on the day of endometrial transformation and its administration route in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles, the patients were divided into three groups: control group (without G-CSF, n=71), subcutaneous injection group (subcutaneous G-CSF, n=72), and intrauterine infusion group (intrauterine G-CSF infusion, n=44). The pregnancy outcomes among the three groups were compared, and Logistic regression analysis was performed. ResultsThere were significant differences in biochemical pregnancy rates among the three groups (P<0.05), indicating statistical significance in the overall comparison. In terms of numerical trend, the biochemical pregnancy rate was in the order: subcutaneous injection group > intrauterine infusion group > control group. Further pairwise comparison showed that only the difference between the subcutaneous injection group and the control group was statistically significant (P<0.017), while no significant differences were found between the other groups (P>0.017). The overall comparison of early miscarriage rates among the three groups also showed a significant difference (P<0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference in the distribution among the groups. The numerical trend was: intrauterine perfusion group > subcutaneous injection group > control group. Pairwise comparison results showed that only the difference between the intrauterine perfusion group and the control group was statistically significant (P<0.017), while there was no statistically significant difference between any other two groups (P>0.017).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that endometrial thickness on the day of transformation, number of transferred embryos, and subcutaneous G-CSF injection were independent factors associated with an increased biochemical pregnancy rate, where as age was an independent factor for a decreased biochemical pregnancy rate. For clinical pregnancy outcome, endometrial thickness on the day of transformation, number of transferred embryos, and subcutaneous G-CSF injection were also independent factors for an increased clinical pregnancy rate, while BMI was an independent factor for a decreased clinical pregnancy rate. ConclusionSubcutaneous injection of G-CSF only improved the biochemical pregnancy rate in URIF patients. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that subcutaneous G-CSF injection was a favorable factor for clinical pregnancy rate in URIF patients; however, no significant improvement in clinical pregnancy rate was observed among the three groups. Both the comparison of pregnancy outcomes and the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicates that intrauterine perfusion of G-CSF has no significant therapeutic effect in the treatment of patients with URIF.

OBJECTIVE:
Myocardial inflammation during myocardial infarction (MI) could be inhibited by regulating arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism. Recent studies demonstrated that Sini Decoction (SND) was identified to be an effective prescription for treating heart failure (HF) caused by MI. But the anti-inflammatory mechanism of SND remained unclear. The work was designed to investigate the anti-inflammatory mechanism of SND through the AA metabolism pathway in vitro and in vivo experiments.
METHODS:
An inflammatory injury model of H9c2 cells was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophage-conditioned medium (CM). The MI model was built by the ligation of left anterior descending (LAD) branch of coronary artery in rat. Meanwhile, the rats were divided into five groups: sham group, MI group, MI + Celecoxib group, MI + low-dose SND group (SND-L) and MI + high-dose SND group (SND-H). Cardiac function, histopathological changes and serum cytokines were examined four weeks later. Western blot analysis was conducted to verify the key enzymes levels in the AA metabolic pathway, including phospholipase A2 (PLA2), cyclooxygenases (COXs) and lipoxygenases (LOXs).
RESULTS:
These in vivo results demonstrated that SND could improve the cardiac function and pathological changes of rats with MI, and regulate the key inflammatory molecules in the AA metabolism pathway, including sPLA2, COX-1, COX-2, 5-LOX and 15-LOX. In vitro, SND could decrease the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α and IL-6 and inhibit cell apoptosis in CM-induced H9c2 cells. Moreover, SND could protect H9c2 cells from the damage of CM by regulating nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signal pathway and the expression of COX-2.
CONCLUSION
SND may be a drug candidate for anti-inflammatory treatment during MI by regulating the multiple targets in the AA metabolism pathway.
