 To evaluate the correlation between DAZL gene polymorphisms sites (A260G and A386G) of men in Asia and Caucasus and their infertility. Methods: The Chinese and English databases, such as CNKI, Wanfang, Pubmed, and so on were searched for the case-control studies about the correlation between DAZL gene polymorphisms sites (A260G and A386G) of men in Asia and Caucasus and their infertility. State11.0 software was used for meta-analysis of the included literatures in the database from the establishment to October 2022. Results: A total of 18 case-control studies were retrieved, including 13 studies about the correlation between DAZL gene polymorphism site A260G of men in Asia and Caucasus and their infertility (3031 men in case group and 2029 men in control group), and 16 studies about the correlation between DAZL gene polymorphism site A386G of men in Asia and Caucasus and their infertility (4987 men in case group and 4201 men in control). No significant association was found in the results of the five comparative models between site A260G and site A386G. According to the race and genotyping methods, subgroup analysis showed that in the A386G site of DAZL gene in PCR-SSCP group, there were significant associations between G and A (OR=10.42, 95%CI 3.7329.10, Ph=0.811), between GA and AA (OR=10.69, 95%CI 3.80-30.08, Ph=0.885), and between GA+GG and AA (OR=10.90, 95%CI 3.88-30.66, Ph=0.855). Conclusion: The A260G site polymorphism of DAZL gene of the men in Asia and Caucasus has no correlation with their infertility. According to the genotyping methods, subgroup analysis finds that A386G site polymorphism of DAZL gene in PCR-SSCP group of the men in Asia and Caucasus is correlated with their infertility.

To establish the mouse model with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) using 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD), and to explore the mechanism of action of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs) for improving the ovarian function of the mice. Methods: 30 female ICR mice with 14 days of normal estrous cycle were randomly divided into control group, group A, and group B (10 mice in each group). The model mice in group A and group B were established by injection of VCD (160 mg/kg) for 20 days, and the mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal equal amount of sesame oil for 20 days. The mice in group B were given HUMSCs (106 cells/ml) injection with 0.2ml/mouse/day for two days, and the mice in group A were given equal amount of saline injection. The number of follicles at all levels, the number of atretic follicles, the levels of serum estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH), the levels of iron, malondialdehyde(MDA), and GSH in ovarian tissue, and the protein expression levels of SCL7A11, GPX4, ACSL4, and DMT1 in ovarian tissue of the mice were detected on D 21. Results: Compared with those of the mice in group A, the body weight of the mice in group B was significantly higher, the duration of estrous cycle was significantly shorter, the ovarian morphology had improved significantly, the number of follicles was significantly higher, the number of atretic follicles was significantly lower, the serum E2 and FSH levels were significantly higher, the AMH level was significantly lower, the levels of iron and MDA in ovarian tissue were significantly lower, the GSH level in ovarian tissue was significantly higher, the expression levels of SCL7A11, GPX4, and DMT1 proteins in ovarian tissues were significantly higher, and the expression level of ACSL4 protein in ovarian tissues were significantly lower (all P<0.05). Conclusion: HUMSCs can improve the ovarian function of the mice with POI induced by VCD through inhibiting iron death in the ovary of these mice.

To analyze the trend of the body mass index (BMI) value of women during the preparing pregnancy after the implementation of the two-child policy. Methods: A total of 33 335 352 Han Chinese women who wanted pregnancy and had participated in the National Free Pre-pregnancy Health Checkup Program in 20132019 were included in this study. The average BMI value, the overweight rate, and the obesity rate of the women were calculated monthly. The primiparae in these women were included in control group, and the pluriparae in these women were included in study group. A controlled interruption time series analysis was conducted to obtain the trend of the BMI value of women before and after the implementation of the two-child policy. Results: Compared with those of the women in the control group, the mean monthly BMI value change of the women in the study group was 10.01×10-2kg/m2 (95%CI-0.07-19.94, P=0.05), and the change of the overweight/obesity rate of the women in the study group was 1.36% (95%CI 0.36%-2.35%, P<0.01). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the change of overweight rate of the women with age ≥35 years old, less than high school education level, or the farmer occupation in the study group was significantly higher than that of the women in the control group (P<0.05), and the obesity rate of the women with age ≥35 years old, and the average GPT of 40 000-50 000 Yuan, or reside in the first-tier city in the study group had significantly different from that of the women in the control group. In the trend change, the trend change of obesity rate of the women with the aged of 30-35 years old, the per capita GPT 50 000-70 000 Yuan or ≥70 000 Yuan, or reside in the second, the fourth, or the fifth tier cities had increased significantly (P<0.05), the trend change of overweight rate of the women with the aged of 30-50 years old, or reside in the third-tier city had increased significantly (P<0.05), and the trend change of overweight/obesity rate of the women with high school or above education level, vocational workers, or reside in the first or the third tier cities had decreased significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion: After the implementation of the universal two-child policy, there is little change in the overall trend of the BMI value among the women who are ready for pregnancy, and there are differences in the different social demographic characteristics and the different social development degree. The weight management of the women with planned pregnancy should be carried out to improve the health of the women of childbearing age.

To investigate the correlation between the hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of reproductive-aged women and their impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: Cross-sectional survey method was conducted on the reproductive-aged women who had participated in the National Free Preconception Health Checkup Project and had completed the risk assessment from January 2015 to December 2017. Basic demographic characteristics, lifestyles, family history, disease history, height, weight, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, hepatitis B serological test results, and other information of these women were collected. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the HBV infection of the reproductive-aged women and their IFG and DM. Results: In the study population, the detection rates of HBV infection, IFG, and DM were 7.7%, 3.2%, and 1.5%, respectively. After adjusting for age, educational level, occupation, region, family history of DM, tobacco exposure, alcohol consumption, hypertension, and body mass index (BMI), HBV infected reproductive-aged women were 23% more likely to have IFG (OR=1.23, 95% CI: 1.22-1.25) and 40% more likely to have DM (OR=1.40, 95% CI: 1.37-1.42), respectively, compared with those of the non-HBV infected women. The stratification analysis for all these research objects showed that the correlation between the HBV infection of reproductive-aged women with family history of DM, alcohol consumption, or hypertension and their IFG and DM had no statistical significant differences, and the other subgroups analysis suggested that the rates of IFG and DM of the reproductive-aged women with HBV infection were significantly higher than those of the women without HBV infection. Conclusion: The HBV infection of the reproductive-aged women increases the risk of their IFG and DM, but even the HBV-infected women who were aged <35 years old, had no family history of DM, no tobacco exposure, no alcohol consumption, non-hypertension, or were normal BMI value should also be paid more attention to their blood glucose levels pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy.

To evaluate the psychology and quality of reproductive life of women with assisted reproduction, and to analyze the factors affecting the quality of reproductive life of these women. Methods: Convenience sampling method was used to selected the women as respondents from 6 assisted reproductive medical institutions in Henan Province from June 2021 to May 2022. The general information questionnaire, symptom check list-90 (SCL-90), and reproductive quality of life questionnaire (FertiQoL) were used to investigate 626 respondents who received assisted reproduction. Results: The SCL-90 score showed that the obsessive-
compulsive symptoms, depression, and sleep/diet. The total score of FertiQoL of the women was 50.15±13.55 points, and which was significantly lower than that (53.34±12.49 points) of the selective treatment module and was significantly higher than that (48.81±15.97 points) of the core module. In the core module, the marital relationship score (58.40±14.88 points) of the women was significantly higher, while the psychosomatic relationship score of the women (39.46±23.10 points) was the lowest. The scores of the factors in SCL-90 scale of the women were negatively correlated with the cores of their FertiQoL total score, and the sores of core module and selective treatment module (P<0.05). There was significant difference in the overall quality of life score among the women with different age, education level, occupation, infertility causes, infertility duration, treatment duration, and times of treatment failures, or between the women with and without biological children (P<0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that the age, the education level, the treatment duration, the biological children, the times of treatment failures, and the SCL-90 total score of the women were the important factors influencing their quality of life (P<0.05). Conclusion: The women with assisted reproduction generally have obvious obsessive-compulsive symptoms, depression, interrupted sleep/diet, and their psychological status and quality of life all are not ideal, so which should be paid attention to in clinic.

 To analysis the correlation between the levels of environmental air pollution indicators of women of childbearing age and the levels of their sex hormone and reproductive function indicators. Methods: 957 childbearing age women who underwent physical examination in hospital from December 2021 to June 2022 were selected as the research objects. The levels of sex hormone and reproductive function indicators of these women were detected. The air quality data near the women were collected by ambient air monitoring stations. The impact of air pollutants on the sex hormones levels and reproductive function of the women were analyzed through the linear mixed effect model. Results: The levels of estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), antimueller's hormone (AMH), and statin B (INHB), and antral follicle count (AFC)of 957 women were 42.39±7.48pg/ml, 5.61±0.95IU/L, 7.34±0.86IU/L, 1.56±0.28ng/ml, 84.34±10.65pg/ml, and 7.17±1.58 number, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis showed that air PM2.5 concentration was highly correlated with the air PM10 and CO concentrations (r=0.87, 0.86, P<0.05). The air PM10 concentration was highly correlated with the air CO and SO2 concentrations (r=0.74, 0.72, P<0.05). The levels of E2, FSH, LH, AMH, and INHB, and the AFC of the women had decreased when the concentrations of air PM2.5, PM10, CO, NOx, and O3 increased, and the levels of AMH decreased when the concentration of SO2 increased (all P<0.05), and which had hysteresis effect and cumulative effect, and the cumulative effect reached the maximum on the 5th day of the accumulation. Conclusion: The sex hormones levels and reproductive function of the women of childbearing age are in the normal range in this survey. With the increase of air pollutants concentrations, the sex hormones levels and reproductive function of the women decline, and which have hysteresis effect and cumulative effect.

To investigate the effects of preemptive analgesia with flurbiprofen axetil on the dosage and the anesthetic effect of propofol during painless induced abortion. Methods: 90 women who wanted painless abortion were selected and were randomly divided into two groups according to their different admission time from January 2021 to July 2022. The women in the two groups were given same anesthetized way during painless induced abortion, 40 women in the control group were given sodium chloride injection intravenously before anesthesia induction, and 50 women in the study group were given flurbiprofen axetil injection intravenously before anesthesia induction. The perioperative hemodynamic indexes, the anesthetic effect, the propofol dosage, and the adverse reactions rate of the women were compared between the two groups. Results: There were no significant differences in the values of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) of the women before surgery between the two groups (P>0.05). The values of SBP, DBP, HR, and SpO2 of the women in the two groups during abortion were significantly lower than those before abortion (P<0.05). The HR value of the women in the study group was significantly higher than that of the women in the control group (P<0.05). The SBP, DBP, HR, and SpO2 values of the women in the two groups when awaking after abortion had no significant different from those before abortion (P>0.05). The operation time (4.33±0.37 min), the recovery time after anesthesia (4.62±1.52 min), the propofol dosage (2.50±0.32 mg/kg), and the total incidence of adverse reactions (22.0%) of the women in the study group were significantly lower than those (5.12±0.29 min, 6.91±2.32 min, 3.31±0.42 mg/kg, and 42.5%) of the women in the control group, but the total effective rate of anesthesia (94.0%) of the women in the study group was significantly higher than that (77.5%) of the women in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The application of flurbiprofen axetil for preemptive analgesia of the women during the painless abortion can effectively improve their anesthetic effect, reduce the dosage of propofol, reduce their occurrence of anesthetic-related adverse reactions, and shorten their abortion time and anesthesia recovery time.

To explore the curative effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) combined with levonorgestrel releasing-intrauterine systems (LNG-IUS) for treating patients with abnormal uterine bleeding caused by diffuse adenomyosis (AUB). Methods: A total of 120 patients with AUB who treated in obstetrics and gynecology clinic were selected and were randomly divided into two groups (60 cases in each group) between June 2019 and July 2021. The patients in the study group were treated with GnRH-a combined with LNG-IUS, and the patients in the control group were treated with oral contraceptives (COC) combined with LNG-IUS. The efficacy of the treatment, and the changes of menstrual blood volume score by pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC), the uterine volume size, and levels of serum CA125 and hemoglobin (Hb) before and after treatment of the patients were compared between the two groups. Results: The symptom improvement rate (98.3%) and the Hb level (109.57±7.31g/L) of the patients in the study group after treatment were significantly higher than those (85.0% and 105.03±8.39g/L) of the patients in the control group. The vaginal irregular bleeding rate (5.0%), the rate downward displacement of LNG-IUS (0), the uterine volume (101.93±4.40cm3), the serum CA125 level (12.34±2.71U/ml), and the PBAC score (25.95±3.64 points) of the patients in the study group after treatment were all significantly lower than those in control group (35.0%, 10.0%, 178.16±6.97cm3, 19.11±3.83U/ml, and 45.63±5.97 points) of the patients in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: GnRH-a combined with LNG-IUS for treating patients with abnormal uterine bleeding caused by diffuse AUB can increase the clinical efficacy, and which can significantly improve the menstrual volume, with less influence on the downward displacement of LNG-IUS.

To observe the curative effect of labetalol combined with nifedipine for treating pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH), and to study its influences on the coagulation function of these women. Methods: A total of 110 pregnant women with PIH were enrolled and were randomly divided into two groups (55 cases in each group) between January 2019 and January 2022. The women in the control group were treated with nifedipine, while the women in the observation group were treated with labetalol combined with nifedipine. After 2 weeks of treatment, the clinical curative effect, the changes of blood pressure value, renal function indexes, coagulation indexes, and umbilical artery blood flow of the women were compared between the two groups. The adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women in both groups were statistically analyzed. Results: After treatment, the effective rate (96.4%) of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that (85.5%) of the women in the control group. The values of the blood pressure, the fibrinogen level, the ratio of umbilical artery systolic/diastolic pressure, and the values of pulsation indexes and resistance indexes of the women in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the women in the control group. The values of the prothrombin time, the activated partial thrombin time, and the thrombin time of the women in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the women in the control group. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (9.1%) of the women in the observation group was significantly lower than that (25.5%) of the women in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Nifedipine combined with labetalol for treating the pregnant women with PIH can effectively improve their blood pressure value and blood hypercoagulability, and can increase their clinical curative effect.

To evaluate the correlation between the percentage of body fat (PBF) and the triglyceride (TG) level of pregnant women and their gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM. Methods: 81 pregnant women with GDM who received prenatal care in hospital were included in study group, and 162 healthy pregnant women matching as 1:2 in age and weight were recruited in control group from January to October 2021. The PBF during the first trimester of pregnancy and the TG level during the second trimester of pregnancy of the women were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors of GDM of the women were analyzed. The predictive values of the PBF and TG level of the pregnant women for their GDM were evaluated. Results: The PBF (34.9±5.2 %) and the TG level (2.4±0.8) mmol/L of the women in the study group were significantly higher than those (30.0±4.8% and 1.9±0.6 mmol/L) of the women in the control group (P<0.05). The ratios of the women with PBF >33.6% (48.1%) and with the TG level >2.3 mmol/L (49.4%) in the study group were significantly higher than those (21.6% and 20.4%) in the control group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the PBF >33.6% and the TG level >2.30 mmol/L of the women were the independent risk factors of their GDM occurrence (P<0.05). The risk of GDM occurrence of the women with the PBF >33.6% and the TG level >2.30 mmol/L was 8.005 times of the women with the PBF≤33.6% and the TG level≤2.30 mmol/L (95%CI 3.006-18.662). The interaction attribution percentage (AP) of the PBF and the TG level for GDM was 0.632 (95%CI 0.224-1.039). The area under the curve, the sensitivity, the specificity, and Yoden index of the PBF and the TG level combined with the conventional risk factors for predicting GDM were 0.791 (95%CI 0.734-0.849), 80.9%, 60.5%, and 0.414, respectively. Conclusion: The high PBF and the high TG level of the women during pregnancy are relevant to the increased risk of their GDM occurrence. The PBF and the TG level may have synergistic effect on the development of GDM, and which combined with the conventional risk factors has certain predictive value for the occurrence of GDM.

To explore the clinical effect of different doses of pulmonary surfactant combined with nasal non-invasive high-frequency ventilation for treating preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Methods: The data of 121 preterm infants with RDS from January 2019 to January 2022 were collected. According to the different drug doses, these infants were divided into two groups. 62 infants in the study group were given treatment of high-dose pulmonary surfactant (100 mg/kg) combined with nasal non-invasive high-frequency ventilation and 59 infants in the control group were given treatment of low-dose pulmonary surfactant (70 mg/kg) combined with nasal non-invasive high-frequency ventilation. The hospitalization time, the time of respirator used, the clinical efficacy, the values of blood gas analysis indexes, and the pulmonary oxygenation function indexes, such as ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to alveolar oxygen partial pressure (a/APO2) and oxygenation index (OI), and the complications rate of the infants were compared between the two groups. Results: The duration of hospital stay (10.3±2.3d) and the time of respirator used (81.7±14.3h) of the infants in the study group were significantly lower than those (13.9±2.2d and 125.2±17.9h) of the infants in the control group. The total effective rate (95.2%) of the infants in the study group was significantly higher than that (81.4%) of the infants in the control group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the pH value of the infants between the two groups (P>0.05). The changes of a/APO2 and OI levels of the infants in the study group were significantly better than those of the infants in the control group (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the complication rate (8.1% vs. 13.6%) of the infants between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: 100 mg/kg pulmonary surfactant combined with nasal noninvasive high-frequency ventilation for treating preterm infants with RDS can increase the clinical effect and can improve the blood gas-related indexes and pulmonary oxygenation function of the infants betterly, with higher safety.

To explore the changes of T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells (NK) in peripheral blood of pregnant women with severe preeclampsia (PE) and their effects on the maternal-infant outcomes. Methods: 91 pregnant women with severe PE were included in this study and were divided into group A (42 women with earlyonset severe PE) and group B (49 women with late-onset severe PE) according to the onset time of PE from June 2020 to June 2022. The levels of T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in peripheral blood, and the maternal-infant outcomes of the women were compared between the two groups. The correlation between T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells levels of the women and their onset time of PE with severe PE was analyzed. Results:There were no statistical significant differences in the levels of CD3+ and CD4+ in peripheral blood of the women between the two groups (P>0.05). The levels of CD8+ and NK cells of the women in group A were significantly higher than those of the women in group B, while the CD4+/CD8+ level of the women in group A was significantly lower (P<0.05). The levels of CD8+ and NK cells in peripheral blood of the women were negatively correlated with their onset time of PE (r=-0.397,-0.340, P<0.05), and the CD4+/CD8+ ratio of the women was positively correlated with their onset time of PE (r=0.481, P<0.05). The rate of natural delivery of the women in group A was significantly lower than that of the women in group B, and the rates of cesarean section, premature delivery, placental abruption, intrauterine growth retardation, and fetal distress of the women in group A were significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in peripheral blood of the women may participate in the progression of their severe PE. High levels of CD8+and NK cells of the women are more likely to cause their early-onset severe PE.

To explore the impacts of structured psychological intervention for treating patients after laparoscopic surgery of ectopic pregnancy on their anxiety and depression, stress response, and postoperative recovery. Methods: From January 2021 to October 2022, 100 patients with laparoscopic surgery (LS) of ectopic pregnancy were selected and were randomlydivided into control group (n=50) and study group (n=50). The patients in the control group received routine care, and the patients in the study group received structured psychological intervention based on the routine care. Self-rating anxiety (SAS) and self-depression scales (SDS) were used to evaluate the psychological status of the patients in the two groups at the time of admission and before entering the operating room. The stress indexes, such as mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) of the patients in the two groups were measured at the time of admission, when entering the operating room, and before anesthesia. The postoperative recovery indicators of the patients in the two groups were recorded. Results: The scores of SAS and SDS (48.64±4.19 points and 51.02±4.25 points) of the patients in the study group before entering the operating room were significantly lower than those (54.89±6.13 points and 57.84±5.23 points) of the patients in the control group. The values of MAP and HR of the patients in the two groups at the time of entering the operating room and before anesthesia were significantly higher than those of the patients at admission. The MAP value (90.14±10.42 mmHg or 88.57±9.24 mmHg) and the HR value (75.52±6.18 times/min and 75.81±6.29 times/min) of the patients in the study group at the time of entering the operating room or before anesthesia were significantly lower than those (99.42±8.56 mmHg or 97.35±8.03 mmHg, and 83.33±5.85 times/min or 84.52±5.47 times /min) of the patients in the control group. The first exhaust time (23.8±5.3h), the feeding time (7.3±2.4h), the defecation time (1.7±0.5d), and the duration of hospitalization (3.5±0.8d) of the patients in the study group were significantly shorter than those (52.47±5.31h, 9.0±3.2h, 2.2±0.6d, and 4.0±0.9d) of the patients in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Implementing structural psychological intervention for treating the patients with LS of ectopic pregnancy can effectively regulate their negative emotions, reduce their surgical stress, and shorten their postoperative recovery time.

To understand the occurrence of negative emotions of primiparae before delivery, and to analyze the intervention effect of collaborative psychological nursing for the negative emotions of the primipara before delivery. Methods: 202 primiparae who waited for delivery were selected as the subjects. The negative emotional status of these primiparae was evaluated by Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). The primiparae with anxiety or depression were divided into two groups. The primipara in the control group received routine care during labor, and the primiparae in the study group received coordinated psychological care based on routine care during labor. The mode of delivery, the duration of labor, the negative emotional changes, and the satisfaction for nursing of the primiparae were compared between the two groups. Results: 86 (42.6%) primiparae had negative emotions, among which, 73 (36.1%) primiparae had anxiety, 31 (15.4%) primiparae had depression, and 18 (8.9%) primiparae had both anxiety and depression. The HAMA and HAMD scores of the primiparae in the study group after intervention had decreased significantly (P<0.05), and which of the primiparae in the control group after intervention had no changed significantly (P>0.05). The rate of cesarean section (7.0%) of the primiparae in the study group was significantly lower than that (27.9%) of the primiparae in the control group, the rate of vaginal vaginal delivery (83.7%) of the primiparae in the study group was significantly higher than that (55.8%) of the primiparae in the control group. The durations of the first, the second, and the third stages of labor of the primiparae in the study group were significantly lower than those of the primiparae in the control group. The incidence of abnormal labor behavior (14.0%), the overall incidence of adverse outcomes (0) of the primiparae in the study group were significantly lower than those (23.3% and14.0%) of the primiparae in the control group. The nursing satisfaction rate (97.7%) of the primiparae in the study group was significantly higher than that (79.1%) of the primiparae in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Prenatal anxiety, depression, and other negative emotions are common in the primiparae before delivery. The implementation of collaborative psychological care for the primiparae during labor has significant role in alleviating their negative emotions, and improving their vaginal delivery rate and nursing satisfaction.

To investigate the correlation between the adverse mood survey of pregnant women with threatened abortion after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and their psychological resilience and coping style. Methods: A total of 118 pregnant women with threatened abortion after IVF-ET were selected as the survey objects from January 2021 to January 2022. After admission of hospital, the general situation questionnaire, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), connor-davidson resilience scales (CDRISC), and medical coping modes questionnaire (MCMQ) were used to survey. The correlation between the adverse emotions of the women and their psychological resilience and coping style was explored by Pearson correlation analysis. The related factors affecting the adverse emotions of the women with threatened abortion after IVF-ET were explored by multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. Results: The scores of anxiety and depression of 118 pregnant women were 60.7±6.7 points and 63.6±7.4 points, and the total scores of mental resilience and coping style of these women were 54.1±8.7 points and 49.2±9.0 points. Correlation analysis showed that the scores of the adverse emotions (anxiety and depression), of the women with threatened abortion after IVF-ET were negatively correlated with their scores of various dimensions of mental resilience and their facing scores, and which were positively correlated with their avoidance and yielding scores (all P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the scores of the adverse emotions (anxiety and depression) of the women with threatened abortion after IVF-ET were related to their age, abortion frequency, education level, medical payment method, and family income (P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that tenacity, optimism, strength, facing, avoidance, yielding, and abortion times of the women had all entered into the regression equation of anxiety (F=66.125, P<0.001, R2=0.615), and tenacity, optimism, strength, facing, avoidance, yielding, and abortion times of the women had all entered into the regression equation of depression (F=56.441,P<0.001,R2=0.478). Conclusion: The adverse emotions (anxiety and depression) of the women with threatened abortion after IVF-ET are common, and which are closely related to their psychological resilience and coping style. In clinic, the corresponding intervention measures for the women should be implemented to improve their psychological resilience level and the positive coping style should be encouraged, so as to achieve the effect of alleviating anxiety and depression.

To investigate the risk factors of the occurrence of postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI), and to establish and verify the nomogram prediction model for the risk factors of SUI. Methods: The clinical data of 360 women who underwent pelvic floor function screening between June 2020 and September 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Logistic regression was used to predict the independent influencing factors of SUI, and the meaningful factors of which were screened to establish the nomogram prediction model for the risk factors of postpartum SUI. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of the nomogram prediction model for SUI. Results: The incidence of SUI was 25.0%. Univariate analysis showed that the number of pregnancies, the residence, the occupation during pregnancy, the education level, the monthly income per capita, the mode of delivery, the SUI during pregnancy, and the abortion history of the women were related to the occurrence of their postpartum SUI. Multivariate analysis showed that the number of pregnancies ≥2 times, the rural residence, the occupational physical labor, the vaginal delivery, the occurrence of SUI during pregnancy, and the history of abortion of the women were the independent risk factors of their postpartum SUI. Based on the results of multi-factor analysis, the nomogram prediction model for postpartum SUI was established, the area under ROC curve of which for predicting SUI was 0.887 (95%CI 0.821-0.915) (P<0.01). The BOOTSTRAP method used for verification by 500 resamples showed that the fitted curve of the nomogram prediction model had no obvious difference from its ideal curve, with good consistency. Conclusion: The number of pregnancies ≥2 times, the rural residence, the occupational physical labor, the vaginal delivery, the occurrence of SUI during pregnancy, and the history of abortion of the women are the independent risk factors of the occurrence of their postpartum SUI, which should be paid attention to and be early intervention in clinic.

To study the correlation between the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in follicular fluid of patients with tubal factor infertility and their low quality of eggs. Methods: The clinical data of 85 patients with tubal factor infertility who had accepted ovulation induction therapy by long-acting regimen and in vitro fertilization-Embryo transfer (IVF-ET) from April 2019 to January 2022 were collected. According to the results of embryo culture and the critical value was identified by 35% of high-quality embryos, 44 patients with >35% of high-quality embryos was in group A and 41 patients with <35% of high-quality embryos was in group B. The follicular fluid of the patients in the two groups was collected for detecting the levels of ROS and SOD. Fasting venous blood of the patients was obtained to detect the levels of their serum follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estrogen, and testosterone. The eggs of the patients in the two groups were extracted by puncture under transvaginal ultrasound for calculating the number of eggs and for observing the maturation rate of eggs. The fertilization rate of the patients was observed after 12 hours of IVF-ET, and the high-quality embryo rate of the patients was calculated after 72 hours of IVF-ET. Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between the ROS and SOD levels of the patients and their hormone levels and egg quality. Results: The ROS level in follicular fluid (0.81±0.25 ng/ml) of the patients in group A was significantly lower than that (6.97±1.72 ng/ml) of the patients in group B, and the SOD level in follicular fluid (1.14±0.28 IU/ml) of the patients in group A was significantly higher than that (5.34±1.92 IU/ml) of the patients in group B (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and estrogen of the patients between the two groups (P>0.05), while the levels of luteinizing hormone and testosterone of the patients in group A were significantly lower than those of the patients in group B (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the number of eggs obtained of the patients between the two groups (P>0.05). The rates of egg maturation, the fertilization, and high-quality embryo of the patients in group A were significantly higher than those of the patients in group B (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis method showed that the luteinizing hormone and testosterone levels of the patients were positive correlation with their ROS level, and were negative correlation with their SOD level. The rates of fertilization and high-quality embryo of the patients were negative correlation with their ROS level, while were positively correlated with their SOD level (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Oxidative stress may be the cause of the low-quality egg of the patients with tubal factors infertility, and the levels of ROS and SOD in follicular fluid of the patients are related to their sex hormones levels, the fertilization rate, and the high-quality embryo rate.

Methods: 96 women with IUA were enrolled in study group between March 2019 and December 2021, and other 82 normal women who underwent physical examination were enrolled in control group during the same period. All these women had undergone 3D-TVS examination. In study group, the diagnosis accuracy of 3D-TVS for IUA was evaluated and the diagnostic efficiency was analyzed based on the hysteroscopy results of IUA as the golden standard. The blood flow parameters, such as endometrial vascular index (VI), vasularization flow index (VFI), flow index (FI), and endometrial volume (EV) of the women in both groups were detected. According to grading standard of IUA, the women in the study group included the women with grade I grade of IUA in group A, the women with gradeⅡ of IUA in group B, and the women with grade III of IUA in group C. The correlation of the blood flow parameters values of the women with IUA and their different grade of IUA was analyzed. Results: Among 96 women with IUA, 91 cases were diagnosed as IUA by 3D-TVS, with the accuracy of 94.8%, the sensitivity of 94.8%, the specificity of 97.6%, the positive predictive value of 97.9%, and the negative predictive value of 94.1%. The values of EV, FI, VFI, and VFI of the women in the study group were significantly lower than those of the women in the control group (P<0.05), and which of the women in group A, in group B, and in group C had decreased gradually (P<0.05). The values of EV, FI, VFI, and VFI of the women with IUA were negatively correlated with their IUA grading (P<0.05). Conclusion: 3D-TVS examination of the women for diagnosing their IUA has higher efficacy. The blood flow parameters values of the women by 3D-TVS are negatively correlated with their severity of IUA, and which can be applied in the disease assessment of IUA.

To analyze the influence of different seriousness of gestational thrombocytopenia (GT) of pregnant women on their coagulation function, delivery mode, and neonatal outcomes. Methods: The clinical data of 120 pregnant women with GT were selected in this study. The women were divided into group A (35 cases with platelet count≤20×109/L), group B (42 cases with 20×109/L< platelet count <50×109/L), and group C (43 cases with 50×109/L≤ platelet count <100×109/L) according to their PLT level. 45 healthy pregnant women were selected in control group during the same period. The coagulation function index level, delivery mode, and neonatal outcomes of the women were compared among the four groups. Results: The platelet count of the women in group A, group B, and group C had increased gradually, and which was significantly lower than that of the women in the control group. The mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) of the women in group A, group B, and group C had decreased gradually, and which were all significantly higher than those of the women in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the clotting indexes, such as prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT), and fibrinogen (FIB), of the women among the four groups (P>0.05). The rate of cesarean section of the women in group A (62.9%), group B (45.2%), and group C (34.9%) had decreased gradually, and which was significantly higher than that (26.7%) of the women in the control group. The incidence of postpartum hemorrhage of the women in group A (34.3%), group B (14.3%), and group C (7.0%) had decreased gradually, and which was significantly higher than that (2.2%) of the women in the control group (P<0.05), there were no significant differences in the birth weight and the incidence of neonatal asphyxia among the four groups (P>0.05). The preterm birth rate and the incidence of neonatal thrombocytopenia of the women in group A (45.7% and 51.4%), in group B (21.4% and 28.6%), and in group C (18.6% and 16.3%) were significantly higher than those (4.4% and 4.4%) of the women in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The levels of PLT, MPV, and PDW of the pregnant women with different seriousness of GT are obviously abnormal, but which have less influence on the coagulation function of the women. The more seriousness of GT of the pregnant women, the more likely to increase their adverse outcomes, such as cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, premature delivery, neonatal thrombocytopenia, etc. The management of the pregnant women with GT should be strengthened to reduce the risk of their adverse pregnancy outcomes in clinic.

To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of children with familial male-limited precocious puberty (FMPP) caused by LHCGR gene. Methods: The clinical data and the gene mutation characteristics of 3 children with FMPP were analyzed retrospectively, and the literatures about FMPP were reviewed. Results: All 3 children with FMPP had presented as the enlargement of penis and had presented as the growth and accelerated growth of the pubes in infancy, and who had visited doctors at the age of 4, 6, or 2.8 years old, respectively. During the first visiting the doctor, the testicular volume was 3 ml in both case 1 and case 3, and was 5 ml in case 2. The bone age of 3 children had significantly advanced, which presented 6, 13 and 5.5 years old, respectively. The testosterone levels of 3 children were 8.14nmol/L, 11.32nmol/L, and 10.29nmol/L, respectively, which had elevated abnormally. The gonadotropin-releasing hormone stimulation test showed that the LH peak of 3 children were all <5mIU/ml, which suggested that there was peripheral precocious puberty in the 3 children. Genetic testing revealed that all 3 children carried heterozygous mutations in the LHCGR gene, including case 1 with c.1730 C>T (p.T577I) from his father, case 2 with c.1713 G>A (p.M571I) from his mother, and case 3 with c.1733 A>T (p.A578V) from his mother. The father of case 1 carried c.1730 C>T heterozygous mutation with a history of precocious puberty, but his adult height reached the normal genetic height. The treatment drugs for children with FMPP were limited, case 3 had no satisfactory therapeutic effect and the prediction of his adult height would short. Conclusion: The main clinical characteristics of the children with FMPP caused by LHCGR gene mutation are peripheral precocious puberty beginning in infancy and high testotoxicosis. The peripheral precocious puberty of these children maybe transform into central precocious puberty, which is more difficult to treat. There is an incomplete dominant inheritance of FMPP of the children, so the clinical phenotype will present as large heterogeneity.

Methods: From March 2021 to March 2022, 120 pregnant women with PIH were selected in study group, and according to the severity of their PIH, these women were divided into group A (37 cases with mild PIH), group B (50 cases with moderate PIH), and group C (33 cases with severe PIH). In addition, 60 normal pregnant women were selected in control group during the same period. The serum levels of irisin and RBP 4 of all the women were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the levels of irisin and RBP 4 of the women and the severity of their PIH. The pregnancy outcomes were compared among the women with different levels of irisin and RBP 4. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women with PIH. Results: The serum irisin level (254.60±28.74 ng/L) of the women in the study group was significantly lower than that (552.44±56.66 ng/L) of the women in the control group, and the RBP 4 level (42.25±5.22 mu g/ml) of the women in the study group was significantly higher than that (23.36±3.26 mu g/ml) of the women in the control group. The serum irisin level of the women in group A, in group C, and in group B had increased gradually, and the RBP 4 level of the women in group A, in group C, and in group B had decreased gradually (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of serum irisin of the women during the third trimester of pregnancy was negatively correlated with the severity of their PIH (r=0.441, P<0.05), and the serum RBP 4 level of the women during the third trimester of pregnancy was positively correlated with the severity of their PIH (r=0.366, P<0.05). In pregnant women with PIH, the rate of the adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women with the irisin level >254.60ng/L was significantly lower than that of the women with the irisin level ≤254.60ng/L, and the rate of the adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women with the RBP 4 level>42.25μg/ml was significantly higher than that of the women with the RBP 4 level ≤42.25μg/ml. The serum irisin and RBP 4 levels, and the age of the women with PIH during the third trimester of pregnancy were all the risk factors influencing their pregnancy outcomes (P<0.05). Conclusion: The level of irisin of the women with PIH during the third trimester of pregnancy decreases, and their serum RBP 4 level increases, and both the levels of irisin and RBP 4 were related to the severity of PIH and the adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women, which can be used as the evaluated indicators for the severity of PIH and the adverse pregnancy outcomes in clinical.

To analyze the correlation between the pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) value and the placental growth factor (PlGF) level of pregnant women and the occurrence of their hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP), and to study the predictive values of the BMI value and the PlGF level of the women for their delivery outcomes. Methods: The medical records of 93 pregnant women with HDCP (in observation group) between January 2019 and April 2022 were collected retrospectively, and these women were divided into group A (women with gestational hypertension), group B (women with preeclampsia), and group C (women with severe preeclampsia) according to the severity of their HDCP. 50 healthy pregnant women were selected in control group during the same period. The data of the value of pre-pregnancy BMI and the serum PLGF level during 8-14 gestational weeks of the women were collected. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the value of pre-pregnancy BMI and the serum PLGF level of the women and the occurrence of their HDCP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the values of the value of pre-pregnancy BMI and the serum PLGF level for predicting the delivery outcomes of the women. Results: The value of pre-pregnancy BMI (22.9±1.0 kg/m2) of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that (20.8±0.9kg/m2) of the women in the control group, the serum PLGF level (36.59±4.38 pg/ml) of the women during the first trimester of pregnancy in the observation group was significantly lower than that (51.21±4.96 pg/ml) of the women in the control group. There were significant differences in the  pre-pregnancy BMI value and the PLGF level of the women during the first trimester of pregnancy among group A, group B, and group C (all P<0.05). The prepregnancy BMI value of the women was positively correlated with the occurrence of their HDCP, and the PLGF level of the women during the first trimester of pregnancy was negatively correlated with the occurrence of their HDCP (P<0.05). The overall incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes of the women in group A (8.6%), group B (29.0%), and group C (55.6%) had increased gradually (P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the pre-pregnancy BMI value, the PLGF level during the first trimester of pregnancy, and the combined of the pre-pregnancy BMI value and the PLGF level of the women with HDCP for predicting their pregnancy outcomes were 0.836, 0.894, and 0.925, respectively, and the AUC of the combined of the pre-pregnancy BMI value and the PLGF level was the highest. Conclusion: There is significant correlation between the pre-pregnancy BMI value and the PLGF level during the first trimester of pregnancy of the pregnant women and their occurrence of HDCP. Both the pre-pregnancy BMI value and the PLGF level during the first trimester of pregnancy of the pregnant women with HDCP have high predictive value for their delivery outcomes.

Methods: A total of 108 neonates with HIE (in study group) and 50 healthy neonates (in control group) from March 2019 to May 2022 were included in this study. All the neonates were given brain ultrasound examination. The detection rate of early white matter damage of neonates by brain ultrasound examination was analyzed. The values of peak systolic velocity (VS), end diastolic velocity (VD), and resistance index (RI) of middle cerebral artery (MCA) of the neonates in the two groups were recorded. The serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) level of the neonates in the two groups was measured. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of brain ultrasound combined with serum index for neonatal HIE. Results: The detection rate of early white matter damage of neonates by brain ultrasound examination was 87.0%. The values of VS (46.32±12.67cm/s) and RI (0.65±0.16) of the neonates in the study group were significantly higher than those (39.64±10.04 cm/s and 0.54±0.12) of the neonates in the control group, and the VD value (10.87±2.01 cm/s) of the neonates in the study group was significantly lower than that (13.06±3.12 cm/s) of the neonates in the control group. The serum NSE level (13.26±3.25μg/L) of the neonates in the study group was significantly higher than that (9.52±2.13μg/L) of the neonates in the control group (all P<0.05). The AUC of the single index, such as early white matter damage, VS, VD, RI, and NSE, of the neonates for diagnosing their HIE were 0.935, 0.599, 0.732, 0.741, and 0.766, respectively, which was significantly lower than that (0.987, the largest) of the brain ultrasound examination results combined with the serum NSE level of the neonates, with the diagnostic sensitivity and the specificity of 97.2% and 98.0%. Conclusion: The serum NSE level of the neonates with HIE increases abnormally.

Methods: 88 pregnant women with the suspicious fetal chromosomal karyotype abnormality after comprehensive pregnancy screening who wanted confirmed by amniotic fluid karyotype analysis of the fetuses during the first trimester of pregnancy were selected in this study from January 2018 to January 2022. According to the results of the fetal karyotype analysis, these women were divided into group A (77 women with normal fetal karyotype) and group B (11 women with abnormal fetal karyotype). The levels of serum β hCG and PAPP A, and the fetal NT value of the women were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the value of the levels of serum β hCG and PAPP A, and the fetal NT value of the women for diagnosing their fetal abnormal chromosome karyotype. Results: Among 88 women, there were 11 (12.5%) cases with abnormal fetal karyotype. Theβ HCG level and the fetal NT value of the women in group B were significantly higher than those of the women in group A, and the PAPP A level of the women in group B was significantly lower (P<0.05). The serum PAPP A level, the serum β HCG level, the fetal NT value, and the positive rate of the combined serum PAPP A and β HCG levels and fetal NT value for predicting the abnormal fetal karyotype of the women in group B were significantly higher than those of the women in group A (P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that the sensitivity, the specificity, and the area under the curve of the combined serum PAPP A and β HCG levels and fetal NT value of the women for diagnosing their fetal abnormal chromosome karyotype were 63.6%, 94.3%, and 0.798 (95% CI 0.6070.9489), respectively, and which were all significantly higher than those of the serum PAPP A level, the serum β HCG level, or the fetal NT value of the women alone (P<0.05). Conclusion: The serum PAPP A level, the serum β HCG level, and the fetal NT value of the women during the first trimester of pregnancy for diagnosing their fetal chromosomal karyotype abnormalities has certain values, and the combined serum PAPP A and β HCG levels and fetal NT value of the women for their fetal chromosomal karyotype abnormalities can increase the diagnostic values.

To analyze the clinical characteristics, pathogens, and inflammatory markers of premature infants with septicemia caused by nosocomial infection. Methods: The clinical data of 87 premature infants with septicemia caused by nosocomial infection from June 2016 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics and inflammatory indicators were compared between the premature infants with Gram-negative bacteria infection and the premature infants with Gram-positive bacteria infection. Results: The incidence of septicemia of the premature infants caused by nosocomial infection was 1.07% (87/8146). In 59 (67.8%) premature infants with Gram-positive bacteria infection, staphylococcus epidermoides infection was the most of 33.9%, and in the 28 (32.2%) premature infants with Gram-negative bacteria infection, klebsiella pneumoniae was the most of 39.3%. The incidences of the early onset of septicemia, the serious complications, the leukopenia, the elevated C-reactive protein level, and the thrombocytopenia of the premature infants infected with Gram-negative bacteria were significantly higher than those of the premature infants infected with Gram-positive bacteria. The duration of fetus, the birth weight, the duration of mechanical ventilation, the antibiotic application rate, and the duration of PICC retention of the premature infants infected with Gram-negative bacteria were significantly more than those of the premature infants infected with Gram-positive bacteria. The hospitalization costs of the premature infants infected with Gram-negative bacteria was significantly higher than that of the premature infants infected with Gram-positive bacteria (P<0.05), and the mortality rate of the premature infants infected with Gram-negative bacteria was significantly higher than that of the premature infants infected with Gram-positive bacteria (P<0.05). Conclusion: The septicemia of the premature infants in nosocomial infection is mainly caused by Gram-positive bacteria. The premature infants with Gramnegative bacteria infection have more serious complications and worser prognosis. The decrease of white blood cells and platelets, and the increase of C-reactive protein level of the premature infants are helpful to identify the type of infection and treatment.

To investigate the predictive effect of three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound combined with color Doppler for fetal growth restriction (FGR) of pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy. Methods: The clinical data of 317 pregnant women who underwent fetal nuchal translucency thickness (NT) examination by ultrasound during the first trimester of pregnancy from October 2020 to May 2021 were collected retrospectively. These women were divided into group A (298 cases without FGR) and group B (19 cases with FGR) according to the follow-up results after delivery. The general clinical data of the women were compared between the two groups. And the values of fetal crown-rump length (CRL), placental volume (PV), placental flow index (FI), vascularization index (VI), and vascularization flow index (VFI) were compared between the two groups, and the predictive efficacy of which for FGR was analyzed. Results: There were no significant differences in the FI value and Apgar scores at 1min and 5min after birth of the fetuses between the two groups (P>0.05), but there were significant differences in the values of body weight, CRL, PV, VI, and VFI of the fetuses between the two groups (all P<0.05). Multifactor logistics regression analysis showed that the reductions of the values of CRL, PV, VI, and VFI of the fetuses was the independent risk factors for the FGR occurrence (P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the CRL value, the PV value, the VI value, and the VFI value of the fetuses alone for diagnosing the FGR were valuable. The combination of the values of CRL, PV, VI, and VFI of the fetuses for diagnosing the FGR was also valuable, the area under the curve (AUC) of which was 0.762, with the highest AUC, and the sensitivity of which was 84.2%. Conclusion: The efficacy of three-dimensional power Doppler ultrasound combined with color Doppler for predicting FGR of the pregnant women during the first trimester of pregnancy is high, which is helpful for early diagnosis and timely intervention measures for FGR.

Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA, and which is the essential material for the growth and reproduction of cells and tissues, and also is one of the essential vitamins for the growth and development of the embryo. To prevent the occurrence of neural tube malformations of the offspring, women can take appropriate folic acid supplementation before and after pregnancy. The current clinical folic acid application often suffers from the problems of high supplementation dose and long duration, and the influence of the folic acid over supplementation still lacks evidences from systematic overview. In this paper, the results of relevant clinical studies and animal trials in China and abroad are presented, analyzed, and summarized, so as to evaluate the influence of excessive folic acid intake of the pregnant women on their reproductive risk. For the mother, the high doses of folic acid supplementation may lead to abnormal maternal immune function, increase the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus, and cause the abnormal homocysteine accumulation. For the offspring, the high doses of folic acid may increase the risks of obesity, asthma, metabolic, and neurological disorders. Folic acid supplementation for peri-pregnant women should be administered after testing, and the duration and the dose of folic acid supplementation should be controlled to avoid blind supplementation.

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during pregnancy is increasing because it provides high-quality cross-sectional anatomical and pathological descriptions without ionizing radiation. MRI is commonly used to evaluate the situations of acute abdominal and pelvic pain, nervous system abnormalities, fetal/placental abnormalities, tumors, infections, and/or cardiovascular abnormalities of the pregnant women. However, to date, the understanding of the safety of MRI during pregnancy, particularly regarding the administration of gadolinium based contrast agent (GBCA), which is capable of crossing the placental barrier, remains limited, raising the concerns about the possible negative effects on the health of the mother and fetus. Therefore, this paper reviews the safety of MRI and GBCA application during pregnancy at home and abroad, as well as the recommendations of current social guidelines, so as to provide some references for the application and correct understanding of MRI during pregnancy.
