Blastocyst transfers and difficult embryo transfers were excluded. LPS was started with 90 mg PVG once daily on the evening of oocyte retrieval and continued until negative pregnancy test or 10th week of pregnancy in both groups. PVG dosage was doubled on the day of embryo transfer in the twice-daily group.\u0000\u0000RESULTS: Age, duration of infertility, and number of oocytes collected were similar. Numbers of embryos transferred were 2.9 and 2.8 in the once-daily and twice-daily groups, respectively (p=0.04). Embryo implantation (23.96% vs. 27.95%) and clinical pregnancy (50.9% vs. 56.5%) rates favored twice-daily dosage; however, differences were statistically nonsignificant, and the study had 20% power to demonstrate significance. When our results were pooled with a prior trial comparing once and twice daily dosing, twice daily dosing seemed to significantly increase clinical pregnancy rate (rate ratio: 1.18, 95% CI 1.01-1.38).\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION: Trends favoring twice daily dosing are encouraging findings\u0000and require further investigation.","PeriodicalId":50063,"journal":{"name":"生殖医学杂志","volume":"62 1-2","pages":"60-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36307846","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}

Associations were assessed between use of an ob-gyn as PCP and various demographic and attitudinal factors, as well as patients� perceptions of primary care performanceResults: The response rate was 48% (1,404/2,916). Overall, the majority of participants responded that routine primary care services are available at their ob-gyn office and that they were comfortable receiving those services from their ob-gyn. Twenty percent of respondents considered their ob-gyn as their PCP, 52% considered another provider their PCP, and 28% of women did not identify a PCP. Women who were pregnant, mothers of newborns, and patients without a chronic health condition were more likely to identify their ob-gyn as their PCP.Conclusion: A substantial proportion of women consider their ob-gyn their primary care provider and do not visit another provider regularly.

Patients were divided into 2 groups: poor ovarian responders and non-poor ovarian responders. Cumulus cells were collected from oocytes and were analyzed by Western blot for connexin43. Meanwhile, clinical data were obtained.\u0000\u0000RESULTS: The incidence of poor ovarian response was 18.42% (28/152). Connexin43 was detected in the cumulus cells of all the patients. The relative quantity of connexin43 in the poor responder group (1.11 [0.34, 2.11]) was much lower than that of the non-poor responder group (2.68 [1.41, 4.96]). There was significant difference in connexin43 between pregnant women and non-pregnant women.

We investigated the relationship between residual lesions after hysterectomy and clinical parameters, including age, LEEP method, histologic grade of conized cervix, location of the positive margin after LEEP, results of endocervical curettage (ECC), and size of the conized specimen.\u0000\u0000RESULTS: Age, LEEP method, proximal endocervical margin positivity, and ECC positivity differed significantly between patients with residual lesions and those with no residual lesions. In a comparison between groups with residual disease of a higher or lower grade than MIC, age, LEEP method, ECC positivity, and histologic grade of conized cervix were significantly different. Age, histologic grade of conized cervix, and ECC positivity were clinical parameters significantly contributing to invasive residual lesion in multivariate regression analysis. There were no residual invasive (MIC or advanced invasive cancer) lesions observed in women <50 years old who had SCIS conized lesions after hysterectomy.\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION: Conservative treatment with close follow-up or reconization for women <50 years old who have conized SCIS lesions without ECC positivity is acceptable.
