Analysis of factors associated with IUI pregnancy outcomes in elderly and young patients.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between various factors and the clinical outcomes of Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) in both young and aged patients, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for clinical consultations.

Methods: This retrospective analysis examined a total of 4,221 IUI cycles conducted at the Reproductive Center of Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 2016 and December 2020. The patients were categorized into two groups based on age: the elder group (≥ 35 years) and the young group (< 35 years).

[Efficacy and safety of steroid combined with immunosuppressants in the treatment of primary IgA nephropathy in children: a Meta analysis].

Objective: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of steroid combined with immunosuppressants in the treatment of primary IgA nephropathy in children.

Methods: English and Chinese electronic databases were searched to include the studies on the efficacy and safety of steroid combined with immunosuppressants versus steroid alone in the treatment of primary IgA nephropathy in children. Outcome measures included proteinuria remission rate, urinary protein quantification, incidence of adverse events, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and incidence of renal dysfunction.

Secondary hypertension due to isolated interrupted aortic arch in a 45-year-old person: A case report.

Rationale: Though it is rare, isolated interrupted aortic arch (IAA) could lead to hypertension. Surgical repair is the only effective curative method to treat IAA conditions and patients with IAA can hardly survive to adulthood with medication alone. We report an IAA case that of a 45-year-old male patient who survived for 45 years without surgical treatment.

[Expression of survivin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen in human non-small cell lung cancer].

Objective: To determine the expressions of survivin and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA)in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to explore its clinical pathological significance.

Methods: Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expressions of survivin and PCNA in 43 patients with NSCLC and 15 normal epithelial tissues of the lung. PCNA labeling proliferative index was assessed.

[Effects of ulinastatin on cerebral inflammatory response during cardiopulmonary bypass].

Objective: To investigate the effects of ulinastatin (UTI) on cerebral inflammatory response during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).

Methods: Twenty-four NYHA II-III patients (13 males and 11 females) aged 23-45 years, undergoing elective cardiac valve replacement under hypothermic CPB were randomly divided into 2 groups: ulinastatin group (Group U, n=12) and control group (Group C, n=12). In group U, UTI (1.

[Changes of cell adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines during cardiopulmonary bypass and the effect of intervention].

Objective: To investigate the changes of the cell adhesion molecules and proinflammatory cytokines during cardiopulmonary bypass, and to observe the effect of intervention with ulinastatin.

Methods: Twenty-two ASA II-III patients (9 males, 13 females), aged 20-60 years, undergoing cardiac operation with CPB were randomly divided into 2 groups: the control group (Group C, n=11) and the ulinastatin group (Group W, n=11). In Group W, patient received ulinastatin 1.
