Early identification and implementation of respiratory support are needed for these infants. This study aimed to (1) use lung ultrasound (LU) for predicting the respiratory support requirements of infants and (2) simplify the examination method to facilitate its clinical application. Methods: Neonates underwent LU examinations within 1 hour of birth. The infants were divided into a pregnancy complication (PC) group and a control group according to their mothers’ clinical data. The primary outcome measure was the need for respiratory support. Predictive models were established based on the differences in LU patterns between the two groups. The predictive value of the models was compared with that of the LU score (LUS) system, which has been widely used in other studies. Simplified models were established by analyzing the predictive effects of LU patterns in different parts of the lungs. Predictive reliability was tested using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: PC and control groups had 29 and 117 neonates, respectively; a total of 22 neonates required respiratory support. The PC and control groups showed differences in respiratory support requirements, A-lines, and coalesced B-lines. The percentages of A-lines and coalesced B-lines were associated with respiratory support requirements. The optimal cutoff values for the percentages of the A-lines and coalesced B-lines were 55.7% and 24.5%, respectively. Similar effects were obtained by calculating the percentage of coalesced B-lines in four areas (R3, R4, L3, and L4). These methods were judged as more visual and convenient than LUS assessment. Conclusion: The percentages of A-line and coalesced B-lines on LU images can be used to predict the respiratory support needs of neonates whose mothers had pregnancy complications. Only four areas (R3, R4, L3, and L4) had similar predictive values.","PeriodicalId":20959,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive and Developmental Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":"149 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42746949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the role of inflammatory response in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear. Based on the heterogeneity of the inflammatory response, we classified TNBC, elucidated its subtype features, and revealed potential therapeutic strategies. Methods: We established inflammatory response subtyping based on the RNA sequencing data of TNBCs derived from a cohort at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC). Next, we explored the features and potential therapeutic strategies for each subgroup by analyzing transcriptome data. Using a machine-learning method, we validated and generalized the TNBC inflammatory response subtypes in an external dataset. Results: A total of 360 TNBC samples and 88 normal tissues were collected from a cohort at FUSCC. Patients with TNBC were divided into four inflammatory response groups (IRGs) based on the expression of inflammatory response genes: high inflammatory response gene expression with pronounced pyroptosis phenotype and high immune cell infiltration (IRG 1), low inflammatory response gene expression and low immune cell infiltration (IRG 2), ITGB8 specific inflammatory response with a predominant proliferation phenotype (IRG 3), and low M1/M2 ratio with a marked angiogenesis phenotype (IRG 4). Relapse-free survival (RFS) was better in IRG 1 and 2 and worse in IRG 3 and 4. Owing to their poor prognosis, we mainly focused on IRG 3 and IRG 4 to investigate potential treatment strategies. ITGB8 was highly expressed in IRG 3; thus, targeting ITGB8 may be a potential therapeutic strategy for patients in IRG 3. IRG 4 had a lower M1/M2 ratio and a marked angiogenesis phenotype; therefore, therapeutic strategies, such as anti-angiogenesis or M2 to M1 repolarization of macrophages, could be recommended for these patients. Additionally, we validated and generalized the TNBC inflammatory response subtyping in an external dataset using a machine-learning method. Conclusion: TNBC patients with different inflammatory response subtypes have different characteristics and may need subtype-specific treatment strategies.","PeriodicalId":20959,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive and Developmental Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":"156 - 165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45928631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is primarily used in patients with impaired oocyte maturation and for the treatment of infertile women who are at risk of fertility loss. In addition, IVM is currently used mainly in polycystic ovarian syndrome patients with a high ovarian response and is still considered an experimental option in fertility preservation. Producing highly competent oocytes during IVM is considered a key step in the success of in vitro production (IVP) of embryos. Some factors, such as culture medium conditions and other supplements, have a significant impact on oocyte IVM performance. One of the known disruptors of oocyte developmental competence in IVP is oxidative stress (OS), which is caused by an imbalance between the production and neutralization of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In vitro conditions induce supraphysiological ROS levels due to exposure to an oxidative environment and the isolation of the oocyte from the follicle protective antioxidant milieu. Given the importance of OS in oocyte competence, the establishment of standardized antioxidant IVM systems is critical for improving the overall success of IVP. This review focuses on the main antioxidants tested to protect oocytes against OS in IVM.","PeriodicalId":20959,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive and Developmental Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":"180 - 188"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45526530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand how to manage SERa+ oocytes and cycles, we performed a retrospective cohort study and analyzed the impact of SERa+ cycles and oocytes on clinical and neonatal outcomes. Methods: We included 4856 cycles (149 SERa+ and 4707 SERa−) from 4201 women (age: 21–42 years) who received in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatments at the Center of Reproductive Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital of Army Military University, from 2016 to 2019. SERa+ cycles had at least one SERa oocyte in the oocyte cohort. All 1722 oocytes in the SERa+ cycle were divided into SERa+ (405) and SERa− (1317) oocytes. Results: The rates of two pronuclei (2PN) and high-quality embryos were lower in SERa+ cycles than in SERa− cycles, regardless of IVF or ICSI (P <0.05). As the proportion of SERa+ oocytes increased in the SERa+ cycles, the rate of high-quality embryos declined gradually (P <0.05). Furthermore, the rate of 2PN in SERa+ oocytes was significantly lower than that in SERa− oocytes (P <0.05). Regardless of whether IVF or ICSI insemination was performed, no significant differences in terms of clinical pregnancy rate and spontaneous abortion rate were observed between SERa+ and SERa− cycles or between SERa+ and SERa− oocytes (P >0.05). Conclusion: Normal fertilization with SERa+ cycles and oocytes was substantially reduced, regardless of the insemination method. Embryos originating from SERa+ oocytes can be transferred when there are no other options, but fully informed consent and strict follow-up of fetal development are mandatory.","PeriodicalId":20959,"journal":{"name":"Reproductive and Developmental Medicine","volume":"7 1","pages":"142 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43451837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
