Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy optimizes reproductive outcomes in recurrent reproductive failure: a systematic review.

Introduction: Recurrent reproductive failure (RRF) is a common pregnancy complication, imposing great physical, emotional and financial burden for the suffered couples. The leading cause of RRF is believed to be aneuploid embryo, which could be solved by preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) in theory. With molecular genetic development, PGT-A based on comprehensive chromosomal screening (CCS) procedures and blastocyst biopsy is widely applied in clinical practice.

Pregnancy prediction via ultrasound-detected endometrial blood for hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer: a prospective observational study.

Background: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of endometrial blood flow branches on pregnancy outcomes after hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET).

Methods: This prospective observational study involved 292 reproductive-aged women who underwent endometrial receptivity assessment in a tertiary care academic medical center in southwest China using power Doppler ultrasonography during HRT-FET. Three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound was performed on the day of endometrial transformation and the day before embryo transfer.

Does endometrial receptivity array improve reproductive outcomes in euploid embryo transfer cycles? a systematic review.

Besides chromosomal normality, endometrial receptivity is an important factor in determining successful pregnancies. Endometrial receptivity array (ERA), a promising endometrial receptivity test, was speculated to improve the reproductive outcomes. However, its effectiveness is controversial in clinical practice.

Management of a Nulliparous IVF Patient with a Declined Ovarian Reserve After Discovery of an Atypical Ovarian Endometriotic Cyst.

Purpose: Endometriosis (EM) is a common cause of infertility, and an ovarian endometriotic cyst may affect the ovarian reserve, ovulation, and endometrial receptivity. The majority of EM cases are benign; however, EM may also be prone to malignant transformation, associated with infiltrative growth, and recurrent or distant metastasis. In this study, we report the management of an atypical cyst discovered through ovarian endometriotic cyst puncture prior to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS).

Coinfection of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A (H3N2) detected in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a patient with long COVID using metagenomic next-generation sequencing: a case report.

The growing number of long COVID cases has drawn clinical attention to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has been spreading worldwide since winter 2019. Its symptoms are not limited to fatigue and shortness of breath but also affect daily life. We report the use of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to detect coinfection with SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus in a patient with long COVID.

Activation of the sirtuin silent information regulator 1 pathway inhibits pathological myocardial remodeling.

Myocardial remodeling refers to structural and functional disorders of the heart caused by molecular biological changes in the cardiac myocytes in response to neurological and humoral factors. A variety of heart diseases, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and valvular heart disease, can cause myocardial remodeling and eventually lead to heart failure. Therefore, counteracting myocardial remodeling is essential for the prevention and treatment of heart failure.

Effect of Baduanjin Sequential Therapy on the Quality of Life and Cardiac Function in Patients with AMI After PCI: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Baduanjin sequential therapy (BST) on the quality of life and cardiac function in patients with AMI after PCI.

Subjects: 96 patients with AMI after PCI were randomly assigned as subjects to two groups: BST group who received 24 weeks of BST training and control group who received no training.

Methods: The methods used in this study included the changes in SF-36 subscales, the measures of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), the body mass index (BMI), and the abdominal circumference.

Seated-Baduanjin as an adjuvant rehabilitation treatment for dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response: A case report.

Rationale: Seated-Baduanjin as adjuvant rehabilitation treatment in a patient with Dysfunctional ventilatory weaning response(DVWR) is extremely rare, and we report a case of a patient's rehabilitation exercise who suffered from DVWR.

Patient Concerns: A 62-year-old patient was admitted for dyspnea for more than a month after surgery.

Diagnoses: On arrival, the patient was conscious but anxious, and he had difficulty breathing.

Luteal phase clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of late luteal phase clomiphene citrate (CC) administration relative to early follicular phase CC for ovulation induction for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Study Design: Review.

Materials And Methods: A complete electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CBM were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Molecular cloning and expression of a novel laccase showing thermo- and acid-stability from the endophytic fungus Phomopsis liquidambari and its potential for growth promotion of plants.

A novel laccase (LACB3) from the endophytic fungus, Phomopsis liquidambari, was cloned and its potential to promote peanut growth was evaluated. The full-length cDNA is 1,731 bp, encoding a mature protein of 556 amino acids with a molecular mass of 60.1 kDa.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss: a meta-analysis.

Background: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) had said to be related to the angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphisms (ACE I/D) gene polymorphisms. But the conclusions were controversial. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the real association in ACE I/D polymorphisms and RPL firstly.
