Abstract Background: Urocortin is a neuropeptide produced by the human endometrium and has biological effects putatively important for promoting blastocyst implantation. We measured urocortin concentrations in samples of endometrial wash fluid collected from women with unexplained infertility who underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI). Methods: Patients 28–42 years of age (n = 71) were consecutively enrolled after a complete clinical evaluation. Endometrial wash fluid was retrieved before IUI, at the time of ultrasound evaluation of endometrial thickness. Urocortin concentrations were assayed with a specific ELISA. Results: After IUI, 28 patients (39%) became pregnant. Urocortin concentrations were significantly higher in women who became pregnant than in those who did not (0.38 μg/L vs 0.13 μg/L, P <0.0001). At a cutoff of 0.321 μg/L, urocortin results were positive in 61% [95% confidence interval (CI), 41%–78%] of women who had successful implantation and negative in 98% (95% CI, 88%–99.6%) of those who did not. The pregnancy rate for women with urocortin concentrations >0.32 μg/L was 94%, which differed significantly (P <0.05) from the overall pregnancy rate of 39% in the study population. Conclusions: Urocortin is measurable in endometrial wash fluid, and its concentrations before IUI are higher in women who subsequently achieve pregnancy. These data suggest that the probability of having a successful pregnancy-producing IUI may be better estimated by measuring urocortin in endometrial wash fluid.

Objective: To investigate the effect of cervical cone excision on cervical canal length in patients with high cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Methods: 30 cases of patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia who admitted in our hospital and underwent cervical cone resection were selected as the experimental group and 30 cases of healthy pregnancy at the same period were selected as the control group. The experimental group was given cervical conization. The cervical canal length of patients in the experimental group, the cervical canal length of successful pregnancy patients, pregnancy and pregnancy outcome pregnancy of the two groups were detected after treatment. Results: Compared with the control group ,the cervical tube length level was significantly lower in the experimental group after treatment (P<0.05);the cervical tube length of successful pregnancy underwent cervical conization at 12 weeks , 20 weeks, 28 weeks after pregnancy showed no significant difference (P>0.05), the successful pregnancy rate of experimental group after surgery was lower(P<0.05), the incidence of pregnancy with preterm premature rupture of membranes, umbilical cord around the neck prematurity and cases of term delivery number between experimental and control groups showed no significant difference between two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: The cervical canal length level of patients with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia was lower after cervical conization, the successful pregnancy rate was low, the pregnancy cervical tube length and the rate of preterm birth had no difference compared with normal pregnant women.

ABSTRACTOne hundred first lactation Friesian dairy heifers were used to investigate the effect of level of feeding n i late pregnancy (83·6 or 64·6 MJ metabolizable energy (ME) per head daily and around the time of first artificial insemination (AI) (weeks 6 to 18 of lactation: 146·8 or 119·8 MJ ME per head daily) on reproductive performance.Heifers receiving the high level of feeding in lactation had a successful pregnancy rate to first AI of 0·42 compared with 0·63 for heifers receiving the lower level of feeding. Heifers receiving the higher level of feeding in late pregnancy followed by the lower level in lactation had a pregnancy rate of 0·72 o t first AI resulting in a median interval from calving to pregnancy of 75 days compared with figures of 0·35 and 95 days respectively, for heifers receiving the higher levels of feeding throughout the experiment (P < 0·001).Blood samples were taken from all heifers 2 weeks before and on weeks 1, 5, 9, 13 and 18 after calving, and were analysed for 13 components. Of the blood components measured, only p"-hydroxy-butyrate concentrations, particularly at week 9, were affected by the nutritional treatments imposed and consistently related to fertility (P < 0·01 to P < 0·001).Milk yield and live-weight change, individually and as the components of net energy output, showed the strongest relationships with reproductive performance (P < 0·01 to P < 0·001). The three variables which together accounted for the highest proportion (0·30) of the variation in days to successful pregnancy were net energy output at AI, (3-hydroxy-butyrate at week 9, and mean tail score in weeks 10 o t 13. These enabled the calving to successful pregnancy interval for an individual or 100 first lactation heifers to be predicted with a 95% confidence interval of ±58 days or ±8·6 days, respectively.
