Objective:To compare the training effect between the laparoscopic simulated uterine model (LSUM) with multi-angle suture and the traditional surgical model and to identify a laparoscopic model more suitable for gynecological resident training.Methods:Forty-eight residents who were trained in Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 2021 to February 2023 were selected. They were trained in batches, with each batch randomly divided into two groups of the same size. The observation group was trained with the traditional surgical model and general surgical videos, while the experimental group was trained with a self-developed LSUM with multi-angle suture and corresponding surgical videos. Finally, the two groups were compared for the assessment results, and a questionnaire survey was conducted in the experimental group. The statistical software SPSS 20.0 was used for t-test or chi-square test of the results. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in age, gender distribution, education level, and clinical experience. In theoretical assessment results, no significant difference was shown between the experimental group and the observation group [(82.63±3.93) vs. (85.00±6.15), P>0.05]. In skill assessment results, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the anterior wall assessment [(83.08±4.47) vs. (82.79±3.58), P=0.804]. However, in the assessment of the lateral and posterior walls, the proficiency, accuracy, and degree of coordination between two hands of the experimental group were better than those of the observation group, with the total score being significantly different [(64.13±3.34) vs. (46.75±3.50), (62.25±4.41) vs. (45.00±2.89), P<0.001]. In the questionnaire survey, the experimental group had a high degree of satisfaction with the LSUM and thought that the highly simulated model was beneficial to their training. Conclusions:Compared with the traditional surgical model, the LSUM with multi-angle suture can effectively improve the operation level of residents, which provides a new idea for the laparoscopic simulation training of gynecological residents in the future.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis B virus (HBV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccination in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to analyze the factors related to vaccination.Methods:Data were obtained from 1 203 patients with SLE, via a multi-center web-based survey using an online questionnaire. Data about their social conditions, clinical presentations, willingness for being vaccinated, vaccination within 5 years were collected. Demographic data were shown by descriptive analysis. Chi-square and logistic regression analysis were used to assess the power of related indexes as predictors of vaccination.Results:The vaccination rates of influenza, pneumococcal, HBV, HPV, and VZV were 5.49% (66/1 203), 0.66% (8/1 203), 2.08% (25/1 203), 3.82% (46/1 203), and 0.17% (2/1 203), respectively. Data analysis showed that higher education ( χ2=30.94, P<0.001) and higher income ( χ2=10.70, P=0.001) had greater effects on influenza vaccination. There was a relationship between HPV vaccination and higher education ( χ2=20.96, P<0.001), higher income ( χ2=20.56, P<0.001), younger age ( χ2=8.54, P=0.001), and single ( χ2=5.63, P=0.018). Male ( χ2=10.27, P=0.001) and higher education ( χ2=4.52, P=0.034) were associated with HBV vaccination. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher education [ OR (95% CI)=2.14 (1.10, 4.18), P=0.026], having children under 18 years-old [ OR(95% CI)=1.802(1.02, 3.18), P=0.042], and hydroxychloroquine usage [ OR(95% CI)=2.55(1.06, 6.15), P=0.037], had a positive correlation with influenza vaccination. Male [ OR(95% CI)=4.24(1.37, 13.08), P=0.012], had an impact on HBV vaccination. The factors related to HPV vaccination included age <45 [ OR (95% CI)=0.93(0.89, 0.97), P=0.001], higher education [ OR(95% CI)=2.28(1.11, 4.65), P=0.024], higher income [ OR(95% CI)=2.68(1.32, 3.41), P=0.006] and the usage of immunosuppressive agents [ OR(95% CI)=1.92(1.03, 3.59), P=0.041]. Conclusion:The prevalence of vaccination in patients with SLE is low. Patients with higher education and income are more likely to being vaccinated.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of vasa previa (VP) with low-lying placenta (LP).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on pregnant women with VP who delivered at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2015 to August 2021. According to the status of LP, these cases were classified into VP with LP (VP+LP) and VP without LP (VP-LP) group. The cases diagnosed with placenta previa (PP, n=128) during the same period were collected as control. Maternal-fetal clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared among the three groups using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test). Results:During the study period, 116 VP cases were diagnosed, accounting for 0.085% (116/136 450) of all deliveries. Apart from one case of intrauterine death caused by non-VP reasons in the third trimester, there were 64 in the VP+LP group and 51 in the VP-LP group. VP+LP cases accounted for about 2.9% (64/2 219) of all the cases with PP or LP. The proportions of multiparae and women with a history of cesarean section were significantly higher in the VP+LP group than in the VP-LP group [62.5% (40/64) vs 39.2% (20/51), χ 2= 6.17, P=0.013; 31.3% (20/64) vs 13.7% (7/51), χ 2= 4.85, P=0.028]. Besides, a rare type of VP (type Ⅲ) was only found in the VP+LP group (9.4%, 6/64). The median gestational age at first diagnosis by prenatal ultrasound was significantly larger in the VP+LP group than in the VP-LP group [28.3 (23.6-31.7) vs 23.9 (23.3-25.9) weeks, Z=2.61, P=0.007]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of antepartum hemorrhage between the two groups. In contrast, the amount of postpartum hemorrhage was significantly increased in the VP+LP group [550 (436-732) vs 420 (300-540) ml, Z=3.37, P=0.001]. Compared with the VP-LP group, the VP+LP group showed a lower incidence of lower neonatal Apgar score (<7 at 5 min) and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy [0.0%(0/64) vs 6.9%(4/58), 0.0%(0/64) vs 8.6% (5/58), Fisher's exact test, both P<0.05]. No neonatal death was reported in the VP+LP and VP-LP groups. No significant difference in the incidence of antepartum hemorrhage was found between the VP+LP group and the PP group. Still, the median time at delivery was earlier [36.0 (34.3-36.9) vs 37.0 (35.7-37.3) weeks, Z=3.79, P<0.001], and the incidence of abnormal fetal heart rate was higher [10.9% (7/64) vs 3.1% (4/128), Fisher's exact test , P=0.044] in the VP+LP group. Furthermore, the neonatal NICU admission rate and the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome were significantly higher in the VP+LP group than in the PP group [36.4% (24/66) vs 12.1% (16/132), χ 2= 16.04, P<0.001; 25.8% (17/66) vs 12.1% (16/132), χ 2= 5.89, P=0.015]. Conclusions:For VP+LP cases, there might be an additional type (type Ⅲ VP). Patients with VP+LP would have more blood loss within 24 h after delivery and a higher risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. Intensive attention should be paid to those diagnosed with LP during the third trimester to identify any VP.

Objective : To explore the relationship between geriatric nutritional risk index( GNRI) and perioperative nutritional status，postoperative recovery and complications in elderly patients with gastric cancer． Methods : In this retrospective study，212 elderly patients ( aged ≥60 years ) with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy were recruited．GNRI was used to retrospectively assess the patients' preoperative nutritional status ，and analyze the relationship between GNRI and perioperative nutritional status，postoperative recovery and complications．The ROC curve was applied to explore the value of GNRI in predicting postoperative complications. Results : The inci- dence of preoperative nutritional risk in elderly patients undergoing gastric cancer surgery was 45. 07%．Compared with the patients whose GNRI＞98 points，the patients whose GNRI≤98 points had different degrees of decrease in serum total protein，albumin，prealbumin，hemoglobin and lymphocyte counts before surgery，day 1 and day 5－8 after surgery (P ＜0. 05) ．The patients whose GNRI ＜92 points had longer postoperative hospital stay than those with GNRI＞98 points (P＜0. 05) ．With the decrease of GNRI scores，the incidence of complications showed an upward trend(P＜0. 001) ．The multivariate analysis of the relationship between GNRI and postoperative complica- tions showed that TNM staging of III －IV and GNRI ＜92 points were independent risk factors for complications. GNRI had a good predictive value for the occurrence of complications (AUC = 0. 639，95% CI : 0. 570－0. 703，P = 0. 001，Cut-off value : 92. 21) ． Conclusion GNRI can be used for preoperative nutritional assessment for eld- erly gastric cancer patients．Patients with GNRI＜92. 21 points should be actively given nutritional therapy to im- prove perioperative nutritional status，speed up postoperative recovery，and reduce the occurrence of complications.

In order to explore the therapeutic effects and preliminary mechanism of gypenosides (GP) on hypercholesterolemia, as well as the protective effect on liver injury induced by high-dose simvastatin and high cholesterol diet (HCD), the hypercholesterolemia model of golden hamster was established by high cholesterol diet. The experimental animals were divided into blank group, model group, GP low and high dose groups (60 mg/kg, 120 mg/kg), simvastatin group (10 mg/kg), and GP high dose combined with simvastatin group (120 mg/kg + 10 mg/kg).The efficacy was investigated through dynamic monitoring serum cholesterol and liver function related indexes after drug treatment of 14 and 23 days. The results showed that GP could significantly reduce the levels of serum low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), increase the level of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and reduce the secretion of PCSK9. It is suggested that GP has a good therapeutic effect on HCD diet-induced hypercholesterolemia hamsters, which may be related to its inhibition of PCSK9 secretion. In addition, GP can significantly ameliorate liver damage caused by HCD diet and high-dose simvastatin. These findings provide a scientific basis and useful reference for the combination of GP and statins to reduce toxicity and increase efficacy.

Objective:To explore the effect of auricular point pressing pill combined with rhubarb acupoint application on intestinal preparation and prevention of adverse events in colonoscopy.Methods:A total of 220 patients who met the inclusion criteria from May 2019 to February 2020 were randomly divided into 4 groups, 55 in each group. The control group was only given compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder. The auricular plaster group was combined with auricular point pressing pill on the basis of the control group. The acupoint sticking group was combined with rhubarb acupoint application on the basis of the control group. The combination group was combined with auricular point pressing pill and rhubarb acupoint application on the basis of the control group. The quality of bowel preparation was evaluated by Boston Bowel Preparation Scale(BBPS), and the adverse events such as perianal discomfort, defecation discomfort, abdominal pain and abdominal distension were observed.Results:After treatment, there was significant difference in BBPS score among the four groups ( F=3.038, P=0.030). The BBPS score in the acupoint sticking group (7.45 ± 1.20 vs. 6.78 ± 1.32) and combination group (7.26 ± 1.11 vs. 6.78 ± 1.32) were significantly higher than those in the control group( P<0.05). After treatment, there were significant differences in abdominal pain and abdominal distension scores among the four groups ( F=2.947, 5.879, P=0.034, 0.001). The scores of perianal discomfort (0.07 ± 0.38 vs. 0.44 ± 1.07), defecation discomfort (0.40 ± 0.81 vs. 0.87 ± 1.32) and abdominal pain (0.93 ± 1.32 vs. 1.69 ± 1.61) in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05), and the abdominal distension score (1.05 ± 1.00 vs. 1.64 ± 0.95) in the acupoint sticking was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Auricular combined with rhubarb powder acupoint application can improve the quality of bowel preparation and reduce intestinal adverse reactions. It can be used with polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder for the intestinal preparation process.

Objective:To investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinical pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Methods:A total of 650 patients with PCOS who received routine in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection treatment for frozen-thawed embryo transfer from June 2014 to June 2019 in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics were retrospectively analyzed. According to BMI, PCOS patients were divided into group A (18.5≤BMI<23 kg/m 2, n=253), group B (23≤BMI<25 kg/m 2, n=167), and group C (BMI≥25 kg/m 2, n=230). The general information, clinical pregnancy outcomes, pregnancy complications, the incidence of macrosomia and low-birth-weight infants were compared in the three groups, and the influencing factors of neonatal birth weight were analyzed. Results:The embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate all showed downward trend with the increase of BMI, but the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). The live birth rate in group C [47.0% (108/230)] was significantly lower than those in groups A and B, with statistical significance ( χ2 =7.43, P=0.024). The late miscarriage rate was higher in group C [9.4% (13/139)] than in groups A and B ( χ2 =7.66, P=0.022). The birth rates of macrosomia in groups B [22.2% (16/72)] and group C [21.1% (16/76)] were significantly higher than that in group A, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 =14.15, P=0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of gestational diabetes between the three groups ( χ2 =3.81, P=0.149). The incidence of hypertension disorders complicating pregnancy increased with the increase of BMI, and the difference was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Regression analysis showed that macrosomia was significantly associated with maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weeks, and the risk of macrosomia increased by 15% (95% CI: 3%-28%) for every increase in maternal BMI. Conclusions:The embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate of PCOS patients in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles show downward trend with the increase of BMI. Obese patients with PCOS have a significant increase in late miscarriage rate and a significant decrease in live birth rate. The incidence of hypertension disorders complicating pregnancy in PCOS patients in the obese group has an increasing trend, and the birth rate of macrosomia has increased significantly. Therefore, it is recommended that obese women with PCOS lose weight scientifically before pregnancy to improve pregnancy and neonatal outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: At present, the research on clear aligner of molar distalization mainly focuses on the upper jaw, while the research on mandibular molars is few.This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic effect of mandibular molars distalization with clear aligner via cone beam CT (CBCT) and Dolphin software. METHODS: Twenty cases of mandibular molars with clear aligner were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. CBCT was taken before treatment (T0) and when the first molar was moved in place (T1). Dolphin software was used to measure the effectiveness of molar distalization. Three-dimensional changes in direction and the impact on the incisors and facial soft and hard tissues were evaluated. RESULTS: The effective rates of crown and root distalization of the second and first mandibular molars were 74%, 49%, and 71%, 47%, respectively. The second and first molars were both the distal buccal cusp with the largest distalization [(2.15 ± 0.91) mm and (1.85±1.09) mm], respectively, with significant difference between the T0 and T1 ( CONCLUSIONS Clear aligner can effectively move mandibular molars farther, the crown is more effective than the root, and it is tilted. The second mandibular molar is more effective than the first mandibular molar in its distant displacement and three-dimensional changes. Molar distalization causes minor changes in mandibular incisors and facial soft and hard tissues.

OBJECTIVE: To study the genotype and phenotype of fetuses with 22q11.2 microdeletion and other abnormalities such as cardiac malformation and cleft palate. METHODS: Fetal ultrasound was carried out at 12 weeks to 20 to 24 weeks of gestation. After excluding the chromosomal karyotype abnormality, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array was used to detect copy number variations of 5 fetuses with heart development abnormality or other structural abnormalities. The fetus with 22q11.2 microdeletion and its parents were also subjected to multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay. RESULTS: SNP array analysis showed that the 5 fetuses had all carried a 2.27-3.02 Mb deletion of the 22q11.2 region. MLPA assay confirmed that LCR22-A-B was involved in all cases, and that all deletions were de novo in origin. CONCLUSION It is of great significance to exclude 22q11.2 microdeletions in fetuses with cardiac malformations. The deletion regions of these fetuses are similar but different, and the phenotypic difference is related to their genotypes.

Objective To investigate the effect of the number of previous spontaneous abortions on the first in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycle. Methods A retrospective case?control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 1 279 patients who received IVF/ICSI treatment for the first time from July 2014 to July 2018 in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics;they were divided into 0 time group (group A, n=924), 1 time group (group B, n=267) and 2 times group (group C, n=88) for comparison, according to the previous frequency of spontaneous abortions. Results There were no statistically significant differences in age, basal testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, prolactin and embryo quality in group A, B and C (all P>0.05). The biochemical pregnancy rate of group C (9.1%) was higher than those of the other two groups (4.1% and 4.1%; all P>0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate of group A (42.5%) [>group B (40.4%) and>group C (35.2%)] was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Early abortion rate in group A (8.9%) was0.05). Conclusions Women with a history of one? or two?time spontaneous abortion have no obvious effect on embryo quality, and have a negative impact of clinical pregnancy rate, early abortion rate, live birth rate in the first IVF/ICSI cycle; especially for patients with a history of two times spontaneous abortion, early abortion rate has a significant increase, live birth rate decreases significantly, suggesting that patients with a history of two times of spontaneous abortion should find the causes of miscarriage according to the process of recurrent spontaneous miscarriage and receive treatment if necessary before subsequent pregnancy.
