Objective:To investigate the effect of lifestyle intervention on the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in overweight or obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods:This study was a non-randomized controlled trial. A total of 126 overweight or obese PCOS patients who received IVF/ICSI treatment for infertility in Shaoguan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected by semi-random sampling method. The patients were divided into the experimental group (39 cases) and the control group (87 cases) according to whether they received the comprehensive lifestyle intervention. The experimental group maintained a healthy lifestyle and emotional control, accepted balanced diet, performed aerobic exercise and resistance exercise regularly and quantitatively, the data changes related to body mass index were collected regularly. The control group implemented a weight loss regimen on their own, following a low-calorie diet and exercise interventions. After 2 to 3 months, both groups of patients entered the test tube cycle (the intervention duration for each patient was up to the effect and their willingness to weight loss). The baseline data, cycle characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups with t test and Chi-square. And the effects of lifestyle interventions on the clinical outcomes of IVF/ICSI in overweight or obese PCOS patients were also analyzed. Results:Before the intervention, the serum level of anti-muller hormone (AMH) in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(5.62±2.98) vs (4.47±2.64) μg/L]( P<0.05). But there were no significant differences in age, infertility years, basal follicle maturation hormone (FSH), antral follicle count (AFC), primary infertility ratio, ICSI ratio, body mass index, proportion of obese patients, abdominal circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, visceral fat area and body fat percentage between the two groups (all P>0.05). After intervention, the body mass index, proportion of obese patients, abdominal circumference, visceral fat area and body fat percentage in experimental group were all significantly lower than those before intervention [(26.56±2.92) vs (29.21±3.37) kg/m2, 25.64% vs 64.10%, (89.92±7.16) vs (95.27±7.38) cm, (78.46±15.92) vs (95.46±17.21) cm2, 33.71%±2.46% vs 36.27%±3.02%] (all P<0.05). After intervention, the visceral fat area in the control group was significantly lower than that before the intervention [(92.08±19.38) vs (98.84±19.65) cm2] ( P<0.05), and there was no significant differences in the other indexes (all P>0.05). After intervention, the total amount of gonadotropin (Gn) in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group [(2 488.23±711.30) vs (2 935.67±854.78) U] ( t=2.301, P<0.05). Conclusion:A 2-3 month lifestyle intervention can significantly reduce the body mass index, waist circumference, visceral fat area, and body fat percentage of overweight or obese PCOS patients, as well as decrease the total amount of Gn used for ovulation induction. However, it does not show a significant improvement in clinical outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the effect of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on the efficacy and immune function in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 152 patients with primary liver cancer from February 2019 to February 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 76 patients were treated with TACE combined with RFA (combined group), and 76 patients were treated with TACE (control group). The efficacy was compared; the α-L fucosidase, T lymphocyte subsets (CD 3, CD 4, CD 8 and CD 4/CD 8), B lymphocyte subsets (CD 19) and tumor markers (alpha-fetoprotein, AFP; carcinoembryonic antigen, CEA; carbohydrate antigen 125, CA125) before treatment and 1 month after treatment were detected. Results:The total clinical effective rate in combined group was significantly higher than that in control group: 81.58% (62/76) vs. 52.63% (40/76), and there was statistical difference ( χ2 = 4.54, P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in all indexes before treatment between 2 groups ( P>0.05); the α-L fucosidase, AFP and CD 8 1 month after treatment in combined group were significantly lower than those in control group: (18.06 ± 5.33) U/L vs. (26.58 ± 7.75) U/L, (87.93 ± 22.55) μg/L vs. (146.83 ± 21.85) μg/L and 0.295 ± 0.052 vs. 0.367 ± 0.064, the CD 3, CD 4 and CD 4/CD 8 were significantly higher than those in control group (0.489 ± 0.054 vs. 0.462 ± 0.063, 0.363 ± 0.059 vs. 0.303 ± 0.075 and 1.43 ± 0.27 vs. 0.89 ± 0.14), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or<0.05); there was no statistical difference in CEA, CA125 and CD 19 1 month after treatment between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TACE combined with RFA in the treatment of primary liver cancer patients can not only improve the total clinical effective rate, but also significantly improve the immune function, and help to reduce level of the liver tumor marker of AFP.
Résumé
【Objective】 To construct and verify a model for predicting the prognosis of liver cancer patients with autophagy-related long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) expression. 【Methods】 LncRNA expression spectrum, mRNA expression spectrum and clinical characteristics of 374 patients with liver cancer were obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Database. The expression levels of autophagy-related genes (from the Human Autophagy Database) were extracted from the mRNA expression profile, and the LncRNA was screened to obtain the highly relevant autophagy-related genes by correlation analysis with the LncRNA expression profile. Differential expression analysis and single factor analysis were conducted between the expressions of the above established autophagy-related LncRNA in 374 cancer tissues and 50 normal tissues to screen autophagy LncRNAs which were differentially expressed and was associated with a significant liver cancer prognosis. The above screened LncRNA were included in the risk of Cox proportional model selection and the prognosis of patients with liver cancer prediction model was established. The risk index (risk score) was calculated according to the forecast model and patients could be divided into high-risk and low-risk groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were conducted to evaluate the prognostic value of the model. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was carried out to analyze the signal pathway of gene enrichment in patients with a high or a low risk. 【Results】 We screened 582 autophagy LncRNAs (R≥0.6, P<0.001) to obtain 23 LncRNAs which were differentially expressed and associated with a significant liver cancer prognosis. A prognostic model consisting of 6 LncRNAs, namely, MKLN1-AS, AC012360.3, AC145207.5, AL513320.1, AC099850.3 and AL049840.2 were constructed. KM survival analysis showed that the survival time of the high-risk group was significantly lower than that of the low-risk group (median survival time: 6.937 years and 2.323 years, P<0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that the survival time of patients in the high-risk group was significantly lower than that in the low-risk group (HR=3.773, 95% CI: 2.252-6.322, P<0.001); the area under the time dependent ROC curve for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6-year overall survival was 0.760, 0.729, 0.731, 0.722, 0.696 and 0.685. GSEA analysis showed that the genes in the high-risk group were mainly concentrated in cell cycle, autophagy, tumor, ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis, and RNA degradation. 【Conclusion】 The prognostic model composed of MKLN1-AS, AC012360.3, AC145207.5, AL513320.1, AC099850.3 and AL049840.2 can be used to predict the prognosis of liver cancer patients, which is expected to guide clinical treatment.
