Objective:To compare the cumulative live birth rates per oocyte retrieval cycle in patients with normal ovarian response between the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) long protocol and the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted in Centre of Assisted Reproduction, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine between January 2017 and December 2019. Women who underwent in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment with normal ovarian reserve and <40 years of age were included. Other inclusion criteria included regular menstrual cycles, serum follicle-stimulating hormone level <10 U/L, and the antral follicle count >5. The primary outcome was the cumulative live birth rate (CLBR) within 18 months from the start of ovarian stimulation. Results:A total of 995 patients were included in the study, with 509 patients in the PPOS group and 486 patients in the GnRH-a long group. Both groups had almost comparable demographic and cycle stimulation characteristics except for duration of infertility which was shorter in the PPOS group [3 (2,4) years] than in the GnRH-a long group [3 (2,5) years, P=0.015]. In the GnRH-a long group, 372 patients (77%) underwent fresh embryo transfer, resulting in 218 clinical pregnancies and 197 live births. The clinical pregnancy rate, the ongoing pregnancy rate, and the live birth rate per embryo transfer cycle were 58.6% (218/372), 54.0% (201/372) and 53.0% (197/372), respectively. No fresh embryo transfer was performed in the PPOS group. During the study period, there were 662 frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles in the PPOS group and 257 FET cycles in the GnRH-a long group. The PPOS group had a live birth rate of 31.1% (206/662) per FET cycle, which was notably lower than the GnRH-a long group [42.8% (110/257), OR=0.727; 95% CI: 0.607-0.871; P<0.001]. The implantation rate of all FET cycles in the PPOS group was also lower than that in the GnRH-a long group [29.2% (293/1 004) vs. 34.5% (157/455), OR=0.846, 95% CI: 0.721-0.992; P=0.041]. CLBRs after one complete IVF/ICSI cycle including fresh and subsequent FET cycles within 18 months follow up were significantly lower in the PPOS group [40.5% (206/509)] than in the long agonist group [63.2% (307/486), OR=0.641, 95% CI: 0.565-0.726]. Compared with the PPOS group, the GnRH-a long group had a significantly shorter duration from the start of ovarian stimulation to pregnancy and live birth ( P<0.001). In Kaplan-Meier analysis, the CLBR was significantly higher in the GnRH-a long group than in the PPOS group (long rank test, P<0.001). Adjusted Cox-regression analysis revealed stimulation protocol adopted was strongly associated with the CLBR ( OR=1.917, 95% CI: 1.152-3.190, P=0.012). Conclusion:Progestin primed ovarian stimulation was associated with a lower cumulative live birth rates and a long time to pregnancy/live birth than the long agonist protocol in women with a normal ovarian reserve.

ObjectiveTo investigate the material basis of homologous and heterogeneous effect of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus(AFI) and Aurantii Fructus(AF) based on the total statistical moment analysis and molecular connectivity index(MCI). MethodRelevant literature at home and abroad and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP) were consulted to establish the chemical composition database of AFI and AF, and set up their fingerprints by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography(UPLC), and the total statistical moments and similarity parameters of the fingerprint were calculated. According to MCI, all components of AFI and AF were divided into different component groups, the average values of 0-8th order(0χ-8χ) MCI of the common component groups of AFI and AF were calculated. ResultThe values of total zero-order moment(AUCT) of AFI and AF were (10.57±2.45)×106, (5.09±0.89)×106 μV·s, the values of total first-order moment(MCRTT) were (11.57±1.58), (12.10±1.29) min, the values of total second-order moments(VCRTT) were(24.49±2.30), (26.49±2.54) min2, respectively. It showed that qualitative and quantitative parameters of AFI and AF were significantly different. The components with high similarity such as neohesperidin, hesperidin and narirutin were screened as the common potential pharmacodynamic components of AFI and AF. The non-common components of AFI, such as alysifolinone and imperatorin, and the non-common components of AF, such as neoeriocitrin and isosakuranin, with high similarity were screened out as potential heterogeneous components of AFI and AF. The composition groups of AFI and AF were classified into six categories, and the similarities between the composition groups of AFI and AF and the total constituents were 0.872-0.979 and 0.918-0.997, the average values of 0χ-8χ MCI of alkaloids in AFI and AF were 3.65 and 3.14, the average values of 0χ-8χ MCI of flavonoids were 8.47 and 8.47, the average values of 0χ-8χ MCI of volatile oils were 2.71 and 3.48, respectively. It showed that there were some differences in MCI of chemical constituents(groups) between AFI and AF. ConclusionThe chemical constituents(groups) of AFI and AF not only differ in content and species, but also in structural characteristics and structure-activity relationship, which can provide a basis for further explaining the scientific connotation of homologous and heterogeneous effect of AFI and AF.

ObjectiveTo investigate the regulatory effect of circular RNA circ_0120051 on the fibrotic phenotype of cardiac fibroblasts and the potential mechanism involved. MethodsThe expression of circ_0120051 and its host gene of solute carrier family 8 member A1(SLC8A1) mRNA in the myocardium of healthy organ donors (n=24) and heart failure (HF) patients (n=21) were assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay. RNA stability of circ_0120051 was identified by RNase R exonuclease digestion assay. The cytoplasmic and nuclear distribution of circ_0120051 in human cardiomyocyte AC16 was detected by RT-qPCR assay. The expression of fibrosis-related genes in mouse cardiac fibroblasts (mCFs) with adenovirus-mediated overexpression of circ_0120051 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot assay, respectively. The effect of overexpression of circ_0120051 on the migration activity of mCFs was evaluated by wound-healing assay. RNA co-immunoprecipitation (RIP) was conducted to detect the interaction between circ_0120051 and miR-144-3p. The binding site of miR-144-3p in the 3'-UTR of isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (Idh2) mRNA was identified by the dual luciferase reporter gene assay. ResultsCirc_0120051 was significantly up-regulated in the myocardium of HF patients, while the mRNA expression of its host gene SLC8A1 was not changed. Circ_0120051 was mainly located in the cytoplasm of human AC16 cells. Results of RNase R exonuclease digestion revealed that circ_0120051 possesses the characteristic stability of circular RNA compared to the linear SLC8A1 mRNA. Overexpression of circ_0120051 could inhibit the expression of fibrosis-related gene in mCFs and mCFs migration. RIP assay confirmed the specific interaction between circ_0120051 and miR-144-3p. Transfection of miR-144-3p mimic could efficiently promote the expression of fibrosis-related genes in mCFs and reverse the inhibitory effect of circ_0120051 on the fibrotic phenotype of mCFs. Results of the dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed the interaction between miR-144-3p and the 3'-UTR of Idh2. Transfection of miR-144-3p transcriptionally inhibited Idh2 expression, and overexpression of circ_0120051 enhanced IDH2 expression in mCFs. MiR-144-3p mimic and Idh2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) could consistently reverse the inhibitory effects of circ_0120051 on fibrosis-related genes expression in mCFs and mCFs migration. ConclusionsCirc_0120051 inhibits the fibrotic phenotype of cardiac fibroblasts via sponging miR-144-3p to enhance the target gene of IDH2 expression.
