Objective To study the effects of mifepristone on the expression of estrogen receptor(ER)? and progesterone receptor(PR) in the endometrium of patients with adenomyosis in different menstrual cycles. Methods Forty-seven patients with adenomyosis and 15 normal subjects were divided into 3 groups: mifepristone group(n=24),non-drug group(n=23) and control group(n=15).The expression of ER? and PR in eutopic,ectopic and normal endometrium in proliferative phase and secretory phase were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results In non-drug group,the expression of ER? and PR in ectopic endometrial glandular and stromal cells was significantly lower than that in eutopic and normal endometrium(P0.05).The expression of ER? and PR in both ectopic and eutopic endometrial glandular and stromal cells in mifepristone group was lower than that in the non-drug group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of mifepristone on the expression of fibronectin (FN) in human villus and deciduas after termination of pregnancy. Methods Women with choice of termination of pregnancy(< 49 d) were divided into medical abortion complete group (n=15), medical abortion incomplete group(n=15) and control group (with dilatation and curettage, n=15). The villus and deciduas were collected at the third day of medical abortion or at the day of dilatation and curettage. Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine the expression of FN in villus and deciduas of these three groups. Results The positive expression rates of FN in villus and deciduas of control group were significantly higher than those of two medical abortion groups(P < 0.017), and the positive expression rates of FN of medical abortion incomplete group were significantly higher than those of medical abortion complete group (P < 0. 017). Conclusion Mifepristone can decrease the expression of FN in human villus and deciduas and interfere the condition of embryonic growth, exerting the anti-gestational effect at extracellular matrix level.

Objective To study the incidence of complications of visceral and vascular injury in laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic diseases,and to discuss the ways to decrease the incidence. Methods The data of 2684 patients who received laparoscopic surgery from Januray 2003 to December 2005 in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology were reviewed retrospectively.The incidence and treatment of complications of visceral and vascular injury were observed. Results The total incidence rate of complications was 2.53%(n=68),and that of the visceral and vascular injury was 0.37%(n=10).Four cases of injury were related with trocar punctures(injury of omental blood vessel,n=2;postperitoneal vessel,n=2),three took place during the operation (severe bleeding,n=1;bladder injury,n=2),and the other three were observed in the postoperative stage(ureter injury,n=2;intestinal fistula,n=1). Conclusion The complications in laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic diseases are increased with the extension and difficulty of operation,and are closely related with the experience of the surgeons.Proper candidates for the surgery and established operative technique are the key factors in decreasing the incidence.

Objective To study whether the mechanism of mifepristone in treating adenomyosis is suppressing matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(MMP-9/TIMP-1). Methods Thirty-five patients in the mifepristone treated group(19 cases of adenomyosis) and the control group(16 cases of adenomyosis,non-drug treated) underwent hysterectomy.Endometrium was looked as eutopic endometrium and adenomyosis as ectopic endometrium.Expression of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in eutopic and ectopic endometrium were measured by immunohistochemical techniques. Results The ectopic endometrium of the mifepristone treated group expressed lower level of MMP-9,higher level of TIMP-1 and lower ratio of MMP-9/TIMP-1 than the ectopic endometrium of the control group(P

The aim of this study was to establish the method of isolating and culturing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from human umbilical cord blood. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from human umbilical cord blood were cultured by using culture system supplemented with endothelial cell-conditioned medium. The obtained two types of cells were purified by picking up colonies, identified by uptake of acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL) and binding to lectin [Ulex European Agglatinin (UEA-1)], and were analyzed for the expression of markers by flow cytometry. The results showed that there were significant differences between two types of cells in proliferation, so they were referred as circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) and high proliferative potential endothelial progenitor cells (HPP-EPCs), respectively. They were in accordance with the standards of EPCs, could uptake DiI-Ac-LDL and bind to UEA-1, and expressed the markers of endothelial cells, such as CD31, CD144 and vWF detected by immunocytochemistry. The transcription of CD31, KDR, CD144 and ENOS in both of them could be detected by RT-PCR, but FACS analysis showed significant differences of surface marker expression between them. In conclusion, two types of EPCs are successfully obtained by culturing MNCs isolated from human umbilical cord blood using endothelial cell-conditioned medium.

To investigate whether lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1) and very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) are involved in vasoendothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration of high proliferative potential endothelial progenitor cells (HPP-EPCs), flow cytometry was used to analyze the expression of integrin beta1 and beta2, the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1, 2) and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) in mouse bone marrow endothelial cells (mBMECs). The adhesion and transmigration through endothelial cells of the HPP-EPCs blocked by functional grade neutralizing antibodies of VLA-4 and LFA-1 were studied in vitro. The results revealed that HPP-EPCs were positive for CD11a and CD49d in HPP-EPCs. The expression of ICAM-1and VCAM-1 of mBMECs increased after activated by IL-1beta and TNF-alpha. The results of adhesion in vitro revealed that the numbers of the adhered and migrated cells in the CD11a antibody group, in the CD49d antibody group and in the combinational antibody group were less than those in the isotype control antibody group. Furthermore, the number of adhered and migrated cells in the combinational antibody group was less than that in the CD11a or the CD49d antibody group (p < 0.05). It is concluded that both LFA-1 and VLA-4 are involved in vasoendothelial adhesion and transendothelial migration of HPP-EPCs.

【Objective】To explore the role of lncRNA Xist in proliferation and migration of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSC)and its possible mechanism.【Methods】BMSC were isolated,cultured and identified from the femur and tibia of 3 weeks old SD female rats in vitro. SiRNAs was designed and screened to acquire a high silencing efficiency siRNA. Lipo2000 was used to transfected si- Xist and si- NC into BMSC of the experimental group(si- Xist group)and the control group(si-NC group). BMSC proliferation capacity was determined by CCK-8 assay. The transverse and longitudinal mobility of BMSC were measured by wound healing assay and transwell migration assays. QPCR was performed to verify the silencing efficiency of lncRNA Xist and detect the expression levels of SDF- 1 and CXCR4 mRNA. Western blot was used to quantify the expression of CXCR4 protein.【Results】The P3 generation BMSC shows shuttle- like or whirlpool-like,and flow cytometry showed CD11b(-),CD34(-),CD45(-),CD44(+),CD90(+),CD105(+). When siRNAs were used to interfere with the expression of lncRNA Xist in BMSC ,the silencing efficiency of three siRNAs was 67.92% ,68.72% and 98.32% ,respectively. CCK- 8 assay showed that the OD450 value of si- Xist group decreased compared with si-NC group at 24 h and 48 h(P < 0.001,P < 0.01,respectively)and had no statistical difference at 12 h(P > 0.05). Wound healing assay showed that the wound healing percentage of si-Xist group was lower than that of si-NC group(P < 0.05);and the transwell migration assay showed that,compared with si- NC group,the cells that migrated through the polycarbonate membrane were obviously decreased at 6 h(P < 0.001). QPCR experiment showed that CXCR4 expression in si-Xist group was lower than that in si-NC group at mRNA level(P < 0.05),while SDF-1 expression showed no significant statistical difference(P > 0.05). Western blotting confirmed that CXCR4 expression in si- Xist group was lower than that in si-NC group(P < 0.05).【Conclusions】LncRNA Xist promotes proliferation and migration of rat BMSC by regulating CXCR4 expression.
