Objective · To explore the clinical application value of hysteroscopic transcervical resection of endometrium (TCRE) combined with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) in the treatment of adenomyosis. Methods · A total of 112 cases of adenomyosis patients were divided randomly into the combination group and Mirena group. The combination group (56 cases) was treated by TCRE endometrium endometrial resection, assisted Mirena treatment after operation. Mirena group (56 cases) was treated by Mirena only. The follow-up lasted 36 months after treatment, including measures of the volumes of menstrual bleeding, hemoglobin levels, dysmenorrhea scores, uterine volume, serum CA125 levels and incidences of complications.Results · The median follow-up duration was 42 months, and the three-year follow-up rate was 73.21% for the combination group and 50% for the Mirena group. After surgery, the volumes of menstrual bleeding of patients in 3-36 months decreased significantly, with an increase in hemoglobin level and a decrease in serum CA215 level and dysmenorrhea scores. Compared with their situations before surgery, the difference was significant (P<0.05). A comparison of uterine volume before and after surgery showed that there is a significant decrease in the uterine volume in both groups in6-12 months after surgery (P<0.05).Twenty-four months after surgery, it shows thatthe combination group has a much more significant decrease in uterine volume [(171.3±34.8) mm3] than Mirena group [(213.7±38.6) mm3] (P<0.05). The hysterectomy rate in Mirena group was significantly higher than that in the combination group (12.50% vs 5.36%); the ring expulsion rate was 16.07% in Mirena group and 5.36% in the combination group, and the break through bleeding happeningrate was 8.93% in Mirena group and 3.57% in the combination group. After 36 months an irregular small amount of vaginal bleeding rate was 62.25% in Mirena group, while it was only 12.50% in the combination group. There was significant differencewhen comparing above indices between two groups (P<0.05). There was no obvious differences in most common side effects of both groups. Conclusion · HysteroscopicTCRE combined with Mirena reduces significantly the irregular menstrual bleeding caused by merely applying Mirena. It has a prominent clinical efficacy and can be an effective approach in treatment of adenomyosis.

Objective The CT values and glial fibrillary acidic Drotein (GFAP) expression changes within 24 hours in the cerebral infarction of rats were observed in order to evaluate the time of infarction indirectly. Methods The animal models of cerebral infarction due to the embolism of middle cerebral arteries were replicated reference to Longa’s thread embolism method. The rats with cerebral infarction in right hemisphere and without cerebral infarction in left cerebral hemisphere were scanned with CT at different time after cerebral infarction,then the CT values were measured and their differences were calculated. At the same time,the GFAP expression changes were detected by immunohistochemical technique (SP method). Results The infarction focuses were observed in all rats in 6 hours group. The differences of the CT values in the infarction hemisphere (right side in brain) and non-infarction (left side in brain) hemisphere had in linear relationship,and the GFAP expression also related to the time of infarction to certain degree. Conclusion Cerebral infarction due to embolism of blood vessel could be diagnosed at least 6 hours after middle cerebral artery occlusion. The time of cerebral infarction could be inferred by the difference of CT values between the infarction and non-infarction hemispheres and the changes of GFAP expression.

Mechanosensitive ion channels are mechanoreceptors that convert mechanical stimulation on the cell surface into intracellular electrical signal or chemical signal. In recent years, Piezo protein as a mechanically activated cation channel in eukaryotes has gradually become a research hotspot. Piezo1 and Piezo2 proteins are expressed in different organs and tissues of mammals, and tissues such as bones and joints are directly related to mechanical conduction. The intracellular effects caused by the conduction of mechanical force play a very important role in the treatment and prevention of orthopedic diseases. In this paper, the researches on Piezo protein mechanically activated cation channels in bone tissue, cartilage tissue, bone marrow tissue, intervertebral disc tissue and orthopedic diseases were reviewed.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the use of prophylactic use of antibiotics for special diagnosis and treatment in our hos-pital,and to provide reference for rational use of antibiotics. METHODS:The patients receiving special diagnosis and treatment were collected from our hospital during Jan.-Aug. 2016. The prophylactic application of antibiotics was analyzed statistically. RE-SULTS:Among 149 included patients,there were 62 cases of prophylactic use of antibiotics with utilization rate of 41.61%. Among 62 patients receiving antibiotics,5 cases were given medicine orally and others were via injection. Nine categories 18 types of antibiotics were used,involving 69 times;cephalosporin were used in 49 times(71.01%),among which top 3 types in the list of use sequence were cefodizime,cefotetan and cefazolin;prophylactic use of antibiotics was not found in angiography(including coronary artery) and stent implantation. Utilization rate of antibiotics for other diagnosis and treatment was more than 50%. The prophylactic use of antibiotics was complex in ureteroscopy and cystoscopy,shock wave lithotripsy;the selection of drug types started from the high level. There were 59 cases of single drug(95.16%)and 3 cases of two-drug(4.84%). Total of 41 cases were given medicine 0.5-2 h before surgery or at the beginning of anaesthesia (66.13%). Medication time of 18 cases was ≤24 h (29.03%);that of 11 cases was >24-48 h(17.74%). CONCLUSIONS:The prophylactic use of antibiotics is relatively standard in angiography(including coronary artery),stent implantation and implantation of peritoneal dialysis tube in our hospital. There are some problems during special diagnosis and treatment,such as the indication of drug delivery is not strict;the selection of drug types starts from the high level;medication timing is not suitable;medication course is excessively long.

BACKGROUND:Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic disease characterized as cartilage degeneration and hyperostosis to impact the soft tissues around the joints, thereby resulting in joint pain, and it can be aggravated and lead to joint deformity after weight-bearing. OBJECTIVE:On the basis of imaging parameters of knee osteoarthritis patients and normal controls, a model was established. And then, knee squatting movement was simulated on the model and stress data from the cartilage surface of patients and normal controls were colected and compared, thereby to obtain the stress characteristics of the cartilage surface in knee osteoarthritis patients. METHODS: There were 30 knee osteoarthritis patients and 30 healthy volunteers in the study. CT and MRI data from these participants were colected and analyzed using Mimics software and simpleware software to establish a model. Based on this model, cartilage-related stress data were harvested from knee osteoarthritis patients and healthy volunteers and compared to summarize the stress characteristics of the articular cartilage in patients with knee osteoarthritis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In knee osteoarthritis patients, the stress on the cartilage surface from standing to squatting was increased in a nonlinear manner. During the process of squatting, the mediolateral stress was higher in the knee osteoarthritis patients than healthy controls (P < 0.05); however, there was no difference in the proximodistal and anteroposterior cartilage surface stress between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings indicate that the knee osteoarthritis musculoskeletal model and finite element model are established successfuly, and these models are closer to the real motion characteristics of the knee joints, based on which, quantitative biomechanical data of the knee can be provided for knee osteoarthritis treatment.
