    Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignant tumor troubling women worldwide. Whether marital status affects the prognosis of cervical cancer is still unclear. Here, we investigate the prognostic value of marital status in patients with cervical cancer based on the seer database.
    Material/methods: The demographic and clinical data of patients with cervical cancer were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1975 to 2017. Patients were divided into two groups (married and unmarried) according to marital status, and then the clinical characteristics of each group were compared using the chi-square test. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce differences in baseline characteristics. The overall survival (OS) and cervical cancer-specific survival (CCSS) were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method, univariate and multivariate Cox regression models, and stratified analysis. Moreover, univariate and multivariate competing risk regression models were performed to calculate hazard ratios (HR) of death risk.
    Results: A total of 21,148 patients were included in this study, including 10,603 married patients and 10,545 unmarried patients. Married patients had better OS(P < 0.05) and CCSS (P < 0.05) compared to unmarried patients, and marital status was an independent prognostic factor for both OS (HR: 0.830, 95% CI: 0.798-0.862) and CCSS (HR: 0.892, 95% CI: 0.850-0.937). Moreover, after eliminating the competing risk, married patients (CCSD: HR:0.723, 95% CI: 0.683-0.765, P < 0.001) had a significantly decreased risk of death compared to unmarried patients. In stratified analysis, the married patients showed better OS and CCSS than the unmarried patients diagnosed in 1975-2000 and 2001-2017.
    Conclusions: Being married was associated with a favorable prognosis of cervical cancer, and marital status was an independent prognostic factor for cervical cancer.

    Abstract Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and homocysteine in infertile-related PCOS.
    Material and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 208 participants (86 PCOS and 122 non-PCOS) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from March 2020 to October 2021 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Second affiliated hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. Methods of Pearson correlation and linear regression were used to evaluate the associations between serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and homocysteine in infertile-related PCOS, and a smooth curve fitting were used to address potential nonlinearity.
    Results: An inverse association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and homocysteine was observed (r = -0.392, p < 0.001) in PCOS groups. Multiple linear regression analysis showed serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D was independently negatively associated with homocysteine levels after controlling for confounding factors (β = -0.316, p = 0.006). Age, BMI-stratified multivariate linear regression showed that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D were independently associated with hyperhomocysteine especially in PCOS women aged 30 years or younger after adjusting age, BMI, and AMH.
    Conclusions: Herein, the current findings suggest that 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels was negatively associated with serum homocysteine in women with infertility-related PCOS.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the correlation between serum vitamin D, homocysteine and the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Study design We retrospectively compared the serum homocysteine and vitamin D levels and the MTHFR C677T polymorphism in 104 PCOS patients and 104 controls. Parameters related to PCOS were statistically analysed.
    Results: Comparative analysis revealed that women with PCOS had significantly greater serum homocysteine levels (P = 0.002) and lower vitamin D concentrations (P = 0.040) than controls. The distribution frequency of the MTHFR C677T genotype did not significantly differ between the PCOS group and the control group. (P > 0.05). In the PCOS group, the serum level of homocysteine in the TT group was significantly greater than that in the CT (P = 0.003) and CC (P = 0.002) groups and the level of vitamin D in the TT group was significantly less than that in the CC (P < 0.001) and CT (P = 0.172) groups. The results were similar when the PCOS and control groups were divided according to whether they had insulin resistance. Vitamin D levels were significantly negatively correlated with homocysteine levels in all PCOS patients (r = -0.281, P = 0.004), similarly, vitamin D levels were negatively correlated with homocysteine levels in the CC, CT and TT of PCOS patients. According to multivariate analysis, vitamin D concentration was an independent risk factor for hyperhomocysteinaemia (adjusted OR 1.372, 95 % CI: 1.100-1.712).
    Conclusions: No significant differences were found in the distributions of MTHFR C677T genotypes between the PCOS and control groups but these genotypes affected the patients' serum homocysteine and vitamin D concentrations. Women with the TT genotype have significantly lower vitamin D levels and higher homocysteine levels than women with the CC and CT genotypes. However, because of the limitations of this investigation, large-sample, high-quality prospective studies are needed to further verify these results in the future.

    Abstract Aims: To explore the relationship between vitamin D and obesity and abdominal obesity in women with infertility.
    Material and methods: We screened the data from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2016. A total of 201 infertile women between the ages of 20 and 40 years were included in our study. To estimate the independent association of vitamin D with obesity and abdominal obesity, we used weighted multivariate logistic regression models and cubic spline analyses.
    Results: Among infertile women in the NHANES 2013-2016 database, serum vitamin D levels were significantly and negatively associated with body mass index (
    Conclusion: Our findings suggested that a decreased vitamin D might correspond to a higher prevalence of obesity in infertile women, which reminded us to pay more attention to the supplement of vitamin D in obese infertile women.

    Abstract Purpose: Sleep disorders are a risk factor for a wide variety of dysfunctions of endocrine, metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. However, the risk of sleep disorders to female infertility has not been thoroughly explored. Our study aimed to examine whether or not sleep disorders increase the risk of female infertility.
    Methods: Cross-sectional data on sleep disorders and fertility history were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2018. Women aged 20 to 40 years old were enrolled in our study. Weighted multivariable logistic regression models and stratified analysis by age, smokers, and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score were conducted to estimate the effect of sleep disorders on female infertility.
    Result: Among 1820 reproductive-age females, 248 individuals had infertility and 430 individuals had sleep disorders. Two weighted logistic regression models found that sleep disorders were an independent risk factor for infertility. After adjusting for the covariates (age, race/ethnicity, marital status, education level, poverty income ratio, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, PHQ-9 score, smokers, drinkers, and sleeping hours), the risk of infertility was 2.14-fold higher in individuals with sleep disorders than in those without. The further stratified analysis demonstrated that the relationship between sleep disorders and infertility was maintained and that the risk was higher particularly in infertile women aged 40-44 years, with PHQ-9 score greater than 10, and smokers.
    Conclusion: A strong association was found between sleep disorders and female infertility, and the association remained after adjusting for other confounding factors.

    Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) is a new type of graphene material, but its effects on the male reproductive system are unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of GO on human sperm in vitro. Sperms were incubated with various doses of GO (0, 10, 20, or 40 μg/mL) for different times (1, 3, or 6 h) at 37 °C, followed by analyses of the sperm motility, viability, abnormalities, and DNA fragmentations. GO exposure significantly decreased sperm motility and viability, increased sperm abnormalities, and DNA fragmentation. Moreover, GO exposure resulted in a significant reduction of sperm mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), which was confirmed by the ultrastructural changes of chromatin and mitochondria caused by GO. These data revealed the adverse effects of GO on sperm. Further research showed that GO exposure led to a significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in sperm cells and a significant decrease in total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). In addition, western blot analysis showed that the levels of Nrf-2 and HO-1 protein expression in GO-treated sperm cells were significantly increased compared to the control. These results indicated that GO had adverse effects on human sperm through oxidative stress, which was associated with Nrf-2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

    Abstract Background: Neutrophil CD64 (nCD64) index has been widely studied as an indication of bacteria-infected diseases, but the exact usage of nCD64 index in monitoring infections remains debated. So this study aims to investigate the functionality of nCD64 index in tracking infections' progression and evaluating antibiotic therapy.
    Methods: 160 participants (36 healthy controls, 34 culture-negative patients, 56 respiratory tract infected patients, and 34 bloodstream infected patients) were recruited and divided into groups. Data on nCD64 index, T lymphocyte subsets, and conventional indicators, including white blood cell count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, procalcitonin, and C-reactive protein, were tested and compared.
    Results: Bacteria-infected patients had significantly higher nCD64 indexes (p < 0.05), especially patients with both bloodstream and respiratory tract infections. The nCD64 index could identify infected patients from culture-negative patients or controls, which conventional indicators cannot achieve. We followed up with 24 infected patients and found that their nCD64 indexes were promptly down-regulated after effective antibiotic therapy (3.16 ± 3.01 vs. 1.20 ± 1.47, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: The nCD64 index is a sensitive indicator for clinical diagnosis of bacterial infection, especially in monitoring infection and evaluating antibiotics' efficacy. Therefore, nCD64 has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and provide rapid feedback on monitoring disease progression in infected patients.

    Abstract Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a significant public health issue with diverse presentations, including reproductive, metabolic, and psychological disorders. Although problems with ovulation, metabolism, and hormonal imbalance can be pharmacologically improved, even the excellent quality of transferred embryos does not necessarily increase the pregnancy rate. Poor endometrial receptivity in women with PCOS perturbs endometrial decidualization and blastocyst implantation, increasing adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage and poor embryonic development. The etiological and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in defective endometrial receptivity in women with PCOS have not been fully elucidated to date. Various contributing factors have been reported as primary causes of defective endometrial receptivity in women with PCOS, including metabolic alterations, inflammatory events, and some abnormally expressed endometrial molecular markers. However, few studies to date have investigated in depth the complex mechanisms underlying the compromised endometrial receptivity in women with PCOS. This article reviews recent reports mainly on metabolic alterations and some new endometrial molecular markers in order to collate the existing data and improve our understanding in this field. The aim was to discuss current novel insights on defective endometrial receptivity in women with PCOS in order to provide a theoretical basis for reducing adverse pregnancy outcomes and improving the live birth rate in PCOS.
