Objective To detect the expression of aromatase P450 and estrogen receptor (ER) in eutopic and ectopic endometrium in endometriosis and their correlation with endometriosis. Methods Forty patients who had undergone operation because of endometriosis (all were stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ according to the revised American Fertility Society classification) were enrolled and 83 tissue specimens from different locations of disease foci were obtained and divided into five groups according to the location: group Ⅰ, eutopic endometrium of 25 cases; Group Ⅱ, ovarian endometriosis tissues of 23 cases; Group Ⅲ, vagina-rectum endometriosis tissues of 11 cases; Group Ⅳ, peritoneum endometriosis tissues of eight cases; and group V, uterine serosa endometriosis tissues of 16 cases. Control group consisted of normal endometrium taken from 20 fertile women who had endometrial curettage before placement of intrauterine device. The routine two-step immunohistochemical technique was used to measure the expression of aromatase P450 and ER in endometrial cells. Results Expressions of aromatase P450 and ER in group Ⅰ [histochemistry score (H-score), 2.6?1.0, 3.8?0.5] were significantly higher than those in control group (both P

Objective To investigate the expression of aquaporin-8(AQP8)and apoptosis associated bcl-2 protein in human cervical carcinoma and their relationship.Methods The expression of AOP8 and bcl-2 protein in 74 cases of cervical carcinoma (46 cases of squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix,28 cases of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix),34 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN)and 15 cases of normal cervices were detected by immunohistochemical technique,and their clinical significance were analyzed.Results The expression of AQP8 and bcl-2 protein were detected in intracytoplasm of atypia cells in CIN.squamous-cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.The positive rates of AQP8 and bcl-2 in squamous-cell carcinoma.adenocarcinoma,CIN and normal cervical epithelium were 98%,74%;61%,71%;71%,53%;53%,20%respectively.There were significant differences between squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and other groups in AQP8(P＜0.01),but no significant differences were found in any other groups.There were significant differences between squamous-cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix and CIN or normal cervical epithelium in bcl-2.so were between adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.The expression of AQP8 was positively correlated with bcl-2 in human cervical carcinoma(rs=0.463,P=0.000).Conclusions There is a close relationship between high expression of AQP8 and development of human cervical carcinoma.The expression of AQP8 protein is positively correlated with bcl-2 protein in human cervical carcinoma. AQP8 protein may have anti-apoptosis function.although the detailed mechanism in human cervical carcinoma remaias to be clarified.

From January 2014 to June 2014,a total of 178 primiparas and biparas scheduled for a 42-day postpartum follow-up visit at our hospital were examined.And their pelvic floor dysfunctions were evaluated according to the surveys of incontinence impact questionnaire,short form (IIQ-7),pelvic floor impact questionnaire-7 (PFIQ-7) and pelvic organ prolapse/urinary incontinence sexual questionnaire (PlSQ.12).And 130 primiparas and 48 biparas lacked an understanding of performance,prevention and treatment for postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction.And two groups showed no significant difference.The selfdiscovery and detection rates of decreased pelvic myodynamic were 9.2％ and 14.6％ in primiparas versus 10.4％ and 16.7％ in biparas.The self-discovery and detection rates of pelvic organ prolapse were 0.8％ and 2.3％ in primiparas versus 0.0％ and 8.3％ in biparas.And the difference was statistically significant.Most related knowledge came from parents and colleagues in 53.1％ (95/178) and doctors and nurses in 15.5％ (27/178).Only about 44.4％ (12/27) women with prominent symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction requested treatments.Therefore the related knowledge of postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction should be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the role and significance of miRNA-21 in the pathogenesis and development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods The expressions of microRNA-21 (miRNA-21) in colonic mucosa and peripheral blood CD4+T cells were analyzed by fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 26 patients with active Crohn's disease (CD), 23 patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC) and 19 healthy controls.The relative expression amount of miRNA-21 in colonic mucosal and peripheral blood CD4+ T cells in 11 patients with CD was compared before and after infliximab (IFX) treatment, and its correlation with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α was analyzed.t-test was performed for comparison between groups.The correlation between miRNA-21 expression in peripheral blood CD4+ T cells and serum TNF-α was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results The expression of miRNA-21 in colonic mucosa of CD patients and UC patients was 4.720 ± 0.397 and 4.993±-0.415, respectively, which were both higher than that of healthy control group (1.101±-0.284),and the differences were statistically significant (t =7.657 and 8.356, both P＜0.01).The expression of miRNA-21 in peripheral blood CD4+ T cells of CD patients and UC patients was 3.254 ± 0.323 and 3.450±0.311, which were both higher than that of healthy control group (0.891 ±0.220), and the differences were statistically significant (t=6.007 and 7.098, both P＜0.01).After 12 weeks of IFX treatment, simple endoscopic score for Crohn's disease (SES-CD) of CD patients was 8.019 ± 0.349,which was lower than that before treatment (21.502 ± 1.185), and the difference was statistically significant (t=10.910, P＜0.01).The serum TNF-α level was 61.570±6.252, which was lower than that before treatment (173.500 ± 12.670), and the difference was statistically significant (t=7.926, P＜0.01).The results of correlation analysis indicated that serum TNF-α level was positively correlated with miRNA-21 expression in peripheral blood CD4+ T cells (r =0.780 4, P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The increasing of miRNA-21 expression in IBD was closely correlated with the serum TNF-α level and severity of inflammation.miRNA-21 might be a new target for IBD treatment.

Objective To investigate the association between Metabolic syndrome and colon cancer.Methods A literature search was performed through PubMed,Ovidsp,CNKI and Wangfang Data within the time limit of January 1 990 to May 2014.Ac-cording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,the studies were screened and the data were extracted.Then Meta-analysis was per-formed using Stata Statistical Software version 12.0.Results A total of 8 studies(6 cohort studies and 2 case-control studies)met the inclusion criteria.Meta analysis showed that patients with Metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of colon cancer incidence com-pared with the control group without Metabolic syndrome(OR =1.43,95%CI :1.23 - 1.66,P <0.05 ).Stratified analysis showed Metabolic syndrome had a higher risk of colon cancer incidence in male(OR=1.50,95%CI :1.22-1.84,P <0.05),but in female, this association was not found(OR=1.39,95%CI :0.98- 1.96,P =0.07).In addition,Meta analysis showed that Metabolic syn-drome was not associated with an increased risk of colon cancer mortality(OR=1.22,95%CI :0.92-1.63,P =0.1 7).Conclusion This Meta analysis indicated a positive association between Metabolic syndrome and colon cancer incidence in male,but not in fe-male.Metabolic syndrome might not be associated with an increased risk of colon cancer mortality,yet it needs more prospective co-hort studies to confirm the conclusion.

BACKGROUND:The physical properties and chemical composition of teeth are very similar with human bone tissue, and there are a larger proportion of inorganic components. Therefore, tooth can be considered as a potential repair material for autologous or alogeneic bone defects. OBJECTIVE:To prepare polyetheretherketone/odontogenic biphasic bioceramic composite, and to test its mechanical properties. METHODS: The humanin vitro teeth of clinical waste were colected. The organic components were removed after a preliminary calcination. Another calcination was conducted after soaking in diammonium phosphate solution for 24 hours to prepare the biphasic ceramics with the main components of hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate. The biphasic ceramics were ground and sieved using 200-mesh sieve folowed by impregnation in organic foam to prepare polyetheretherketone/odontogenic biphasic bioceramics. Phase analysis, scanning electron microscopy, elemental analysis, porosity, compressive strength and bond strength test were conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Polyetheretherketone/odontogenic biphasic bioceramics presented porous network structure and interconnected holes, with the aperture of 100-800 μm, porosity of 73.65%, compressive strength of (165.260±11.703) N, bond strength of (14.63±6.21) MPa. P element content accounted for 19.8%, and Ca element content accounted for 40.5%. The main phases were β- tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite. These results demonstrate that polyetheretherketone/odontogenic biphasic bioceramics have good mechanical properties.

A 76?year?old female patient complained of right chest pain for three months. CT scan showed a clump?like high?density shadow measuring 4.8 cm × 3.0 cm in size in the dorsal portion of the right lower lobe of the lung. Aspiration biopsy was performed, and biopsy samples were subjected to fungal culture and histopathological examination. Histopathological examination showed chronic granulomatous inflammation with hyaline septate hyphae. After 4?day culture, white villous dense colonies were formed on the Sabouraud′s agar medium. The center of the colonies was slightly elevated with wrinkles or radiating striae on the surface, and the bottom of the colonies was faint yellow in color. Microculture yielded abundant septate branched hyphae, and very few colorless hyaline quasi?circular spores. DNA sequencing of rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and β?tubulin genes was performed to identify the isolate, and antifungal susceptibility testing was carried out in vitro. The MEGA7.0 software was used to build phylogenetic trees of Aspergillus fumigatus complex and its closely related species. The isolate was identified as Aspergillus fumigatus by molecular biologic sequencing. The patient was diagnosed with pulmonary aspergilloma. After administration of itraconazole oral solution and vorionazole tablets, the condition got better obviously.

Objective To explore the relationship between tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (TIC) of the fimbria and pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma.Methods All 34 cases of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma with clear fimbria were evaluated from January 2009 to June 2010,including ovarian carcinoma (n=26),tubal carcinoma (n=7) and peritoneal carcinoma (n=1).Among of these ovarian carcinomas,12 cases were surface deposits and the other 14 cases within ovarian parenchyma.All 42 cases of non highgrade serous carcinoma in this period including 13 endometrioid ovary carcinomas,11 clear cell ovary carcinomas,11 mucinous ovary carcinomas,6 low-grade serous ovary carcinomas,1 low-grade serous tubal carcinoma,were also collected as a reference.The presence of tubal intraepithelial carcinomas was assessed.Based on the presence of TIC,high-grade serous ovary carcinomas were divided into TIC positive (+) and TIC negative (-) groups,and the clinical and pathological features of them were also evaluated.Results Fifteen cases (44％) were identified TIC in 34 high-grade pelvic serous carcinomas,and all of them were in the fimbria only,while none of TIC was found in control cases.There were significant difference between the two groups (x2=23.086,P=0.000).Eleven cases(42％) were identified TIC in all 26 high-grade ovarian serous carcinomas,in which 8 cases with unilateral ovary carcinomas were associated with ipsilateral TIC,2 cases with bilateral ovary carcinomas associated with unilateral TIC and one case with bilateral ovary carcinoma was associated with bilateral TIC.Four TIC (4/7) were identified in 7 cases with high-grade tubal serous carcinomas,and there was no presence of TIC in the 1 high-grade serous peritoneal carcinoma.Of all 26 high-grade ovarian serous carcinomas,6/11 cases were surface deposits,and 5/11 were parenchyma tumors in TIC (+) group while 6/15 cases were surface deposits and 9/15 were parenchyma tumors in TIC (-) group,in which there were correlated in distribution of TIC between the two groups( P＞0.05 ).The average diameter of ovarian cancer were 6.9 and 6.5 cm between the two groups with no significant differences ( t=0.409,P=0.690).Conclusion TIC is specific to high-grade serous carcinomas and maybe have something to do with the pathogenesis of pelvic serous carcinomas.

AIM To study the effects of quateranary ammonium salt derivative (F 2) of haloperidol on ischemia and reperfusion injury in rat hearts. METHODS Ischemia and reperfusion injury in rat hearts was induced by occluding the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 min and restoring blood reperfusion for 30 min. F 2 (1, 2, 4 mg?kg -1 , respectively) was intravenously injected before heart ischemia. Plasma creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB(CK MB), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),? Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), grutamic oxalacetic transaminase(GOT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondiadehyde (MDA) contents were measured. The pathologic changes of ischemia and reperfusion myocardium were observed on the transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS F 2 reduced the release of CK,CK MB LDH,HBDH,GOT from I/R rat hearts, increased the activity of SOD and decreased the MDA contents. In F 2 (1mg?kg -1 ) group, the serum CK MB LDH HBDH concentration was lowered significantly (vs I/R group P
