ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of women's body mass index (BMI) on pregnancy outcomes of ovulation induction intrauterine insemination (OI-IUI) in patients with unexplained primary infertility. MethodsThe study included 764 OI-IUI cycles from January 2016 to December 2022 in reproductive center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. According to BMI,patients were divided into three groups:low BMI (BMI<18.5 kg/m2), normal BMI (18.5 kg/m2 ≤BMI<23.0 kg/m2), and high BMI (BMI≥23.0 kg/m2). Comparison of clinical data and pregnancy outcomes was performed between the groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between BMI and live birth rate. ResultsFrom the low BMI group to the high BMI group, the HCG positive rate (7.08%,9.74%, 13.19%), clinical pregnancy rate(5.51%, 7.91%, 13.19%), and live birth rate (4.72%, 6.90%, 12.50%) increased. Among them, the live birth rate of the high BMI group was significantly higher than that of the low BMI group and the normal BMI group, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.034). While the early miscarriage rate (14.28%, 10.26%, 5.26%) decreased from the low BMI group to the high BMI group. The binary logistic regression analysis revealed that BMI was an independent factor in live birth, and high BMI resulted in a better live birth rate than low BMI (OR=3.15,95%CI=1.191-8.329,P=0.021). ConclusionLow BMI is associated with poor OI-IUI outcomes in patients with unexplained primary infertility. These patients are encouraged to gain weight in a healthy manner.

Objective To analyze the metabolic differences of 11C-flumazenil (11C-FMZ) with different specific radioactivity by detecting the percentage proportion of the main metabolites in vivo. Methods 5 male and 5 female volunteers with average age of (41.7±4.7) years and weight of (69.3±6.8) kg were selected from May to October 2019. 11C-FMZ with high and low specific radioactivity (268.3±57.2)×103 and (57.8±11.4)×103 Ci/mol was injected successively. The percentage of injected dose/liter of 11C-FMZ and its metabolites in the plasma at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 60 min after the injection was measured. Paired sample mean t test was used to calculate and compare the percentage of metabolites in the two groups. Results The percentage proportion of metabolites increased gradually with time, and reached the stable level after 15 min. The percentage proportion of low specific radioactivity group was higher than that of high specific radioactivity group with a significant statistical difference between 15 min and 60 min (P<0.05). Conclusion The metabolic rate of 11C-FMZ with different specific radioactivity was significantly different after injection and the specific radioactivity difference should be avoided if possible in clinical application.

ObjectiveTo compare the neonatal outcomes between infants of assisted conception (AC) and natural conception (NC). Methods A prospective case-control study was conducted.Eligible mothers were invited to this study at 28 weeks of gestation and were followed up to delivery.All newborns were examined by pediatricians right after birth.Data including gestational age,birth weight,admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU),and presence of any major malformation were collected.Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 13.0.Difference between two groups was compared by x2 test. ResultsSix hundred and seventy-three newborns were enrolled into this study,including 325 in AC group and 348 in NC group.There were no differences between the demographic characteristics of the two groups,including maternal age,parents' education,family income and proportion of primipara (P>0.05).The incidences of twins (32.62% vs 3.45%,x2 =98.88),preterm birth (30.46% vs 7.76%,x2=56.92),low birth weight infant (32.31% vs 8.91%,x2 =57.07)and admission to neonatal intensive care unit (27.38% vs 8.91%,x2 =39.16) and proportion of cesarean birth (62.77% vs 21.55%,x2=117.64) in AC group were significantly higher than in NC group (all P<0.01),except for the incidence of birth defect (4.62% vs 2.59%,x2=2.01,P> 0.05).However,no significant differences was found in the above items when only singletons were compared between the two groups (P>0.05),except for the cesarean section rate (61.18% vs 22.03%,x2 =100.93,P<0.01).There were no difference in any of the above neonatal outcomes when different assisted reproductive technologies applied were compared(in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer,intracytoplasmic sperm injection and frozen embryo transfer) (P>0.05).Conclusions Neonatal outcome after assisted conception is a bit worse than natural conception,which might mainly due to the large proportion of multiple pregnancy after assisted conception.In order to improve neonatal outcome after assisted conception,the number of embryos transferred should be limited.

A total of 1 107 Chinese women were retrospectively investigated for the effects of overweight and underweight on ovarian stimulation, as well as the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET)treatment. It showed that overweight women required more ampoules of gonadotrophin [ (36. 87 ±11. 18 vs 33.57±10.96)/ampoule,P<0.01]and had lower peak of estradiol concentration [ (1 846.6±1 390.3 vs 2 337.2± 1 490.6)pg/ml,P<0.01].increased cycle cancellation due to insufficient follicle development(6. 5% vs 2. 8% , P<0.05) ,and a higher miscarriage rate( 10.5% vs 5.4% ,P<0.05)compared with normal weight women. But no differences were found in clinical pregnancy and live birth rates. Compared with normal weight women, underweight women showed no differences in ovarian stimulation and IVF outcome.

Objective To perform a follow-up study on psychomotor development in children conceived with assisted reproductive technology. Methods A control-matched study was done including 63 infants born after assisted conception (study group)and 65 natural conception infants(control group). The pregnant women agreed to participate in the study when they were at 28 weeks of gestation and were followed-up in a predefine schedule till delivery. The regular developmental assessment was done with the CDCC Scales of Infant Development for the children of two groups till they were 24 months old. Results The mean birth weight and length were lower in the study group than those of the control group. The incidences of preterm birth,low birth weight,and NICU admission were significantly higher in the study group than those of control group. However,these differences were not significant when only singletons were compared between two groups. No statistical differences were found in the mental development index(MDI)and psychomotor development index(PDI)between two groups. Conclusions Psychomotor development of children born after assisted conception is normal at 24 months of age. Since the incidences of preterm birth,low birth weight,and multifetation are significantly higher in children born after assisted conception,their general health and development should be followed up for a longer time.
