Objective By comparing the effects of different combined therapy,to explore the best therapy in prevention of intrauterine adhesions (IUA)after Transcervical resection of adhesions (TCRA).Methods Eighty patents with serious or moderate IUA were randomly divided into four groups.Group A:Artificial cycle combined with ball pouch,sodium hyaluronate gel.Group B:artificial cycle combined with intrauterine device(IUD),sodium hyalur-onate gel.Group C:large doses of estrogen drugs combined with ball pouch,sodium hyaluronate gel.Group D:large doses of estrogen drugs combined with IUD,sodium hyaluronate gel.Postoperative patients of TCRA were treated by the four therapies respectively for three months.All patients came back for hysteroscopy in one month and three months after operation.Results Following -up period was 6 -12 months.After three months treatment,the total endometrial cavity cure rate was 21.3%(17 /80),the total effective rate was 67.5%(54 /80).The cure rate of group C was 45.0%,which was obviously higher than those of the other three groups,the differences were statistically insig-nificant(group C vs.group A,χ2 =4.29,P <0.05;group C vs.group B,χ2 =6.14,P <0.05;group C vs.group D,χ2 =4.27,P <0.05).After three months treatment,the endometrial thickness were measured during ovulatory period. The thickness of group C was obviously thicker than those of the other three groups,the differences were statistically insignificant(group C vs.group A,t =10.28,P <0.01;group C vs.group B,t =12.80,P <0.01;group C vs.group D,t =5.02,P <0.01).Five months after the operation,in the aspect of menstrual blood volume,the total cure rate was 23.8%(19 /80),the total effective rate was 71.3%(57 /80).And the cure rate of group C was 45.0%,which was obviously higher than those of the other three groups,the differences were statistically insignificant(group C vs. group A,χ2 =4.29,P <0.05;group C vs.group B,χ2 =6.28,P <0.05;group C vs.group D,χ2 =4.27,P <0.05).Conclusion The therapy of large doses of estrogen drugs combined with ball pouch and sodium hyaluronategel can significantly improve the prognosis of serious or moderateIUA,and better than other combined therapies.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and carotid atherosclerotic plaque calcification in patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).Methods The patients with non-cardiogenic ischemic stroke or TIA in anterior circulation performed head and neck vascular CTA at 1-6 months from the time of onset were enrolled prospectively.The demographic and clinical data were collected and serum CRP levels were detected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the correlation between the serum CRP level and the carotid atherosclerotic plaque calcification.Results A total of 165 patients were enrolled.Their age was 62.4± 10.6years,male patients accotnted for 66.7％;113 patients (68.5％)had carotid atherosclerotic plaque calcification (calcification group),52 (31.5％) did not have carotid atherosclerotic plaque calcification (non-calcification group).The age of the calcification group (median,interquartlle;66 [58-73] years vs.58 [51-66] years;Z=-3.738,P＜0.001) and CRP levels (1.9 [0.5-3.8] mg/L vs.0.0 [0.0-2.2] mg/L;Z =-4.126,P ＜ 0.001) were significantly higher than those of the non-calcification group.There were no significant differences in other baseline clinical data between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio 1.063,95％ confidence interval 1.024-1.104;P =0.001) and CRP levels (odds ratio 1.209,95％ confidence interval 1.030-1.419;P=0.020) were still significantly correlated with the plaque calcification after adjusting for other confounding factors.Conclucions Carotid plaque calcification was correlated with older age and increased serum CRP level in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA.

0.05).Every one of the patients completed hemodialysis except one needing to rebuild blood circulation by changing another dialyzer, whose vein pressure became higher and the dislyzer was of cruor as it was difficult to build blood circulation. The rate of success has reached 99 percent. Conclusion There is no influence upon the general cruor mechanism when using hemophan dialyzers to heparin-free hemodialysis treat the acute or chronic renal failure. This simple method is not only effective but also safe, which can provide a reliable measure to rescue patients suffering from acute or chronic renal failure with serious tendency of hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND:Animal modeling has reported that psychological stress can lead temporomandibular joint disease in rats, and there wil be pathological changes.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of psychological stress on the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor and transforming growth factor-β1 in rat temporomandibular joint condylar chondrocytes
METHODS:Forty-eight adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, 6 rats in the experimental group and 12 rats in the control group. Thirty-six Wister male adult rats in the experimental group were subjected to the fol owing stimulating factors, such as electroshock, keeping stil ness, climate change and food tempting in order to make them under psychological stress. Then, the experimental group rats were executed at 3 weeks after stimulation (3 weeks stimulation group), 6 weeks after stimulation (6 weeks stimulation group) and 6 weeks normal feeding after 6 week stimulation (recovery group), 12 rats were sacrificed at each time point. The 12 rats in the control group were executed at the same time as the last experimental group. The temporomandibular joint specimens were taken to produce slices.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The vascular endothelial growth factor-positive rate of recovery group was significantly larger than that of the 3 weeks stimulation group and the control group (P<0.05);transforming growth factor-β1 positive rate in the 6 weeks stimulation group was significantly greater than that in the control group (P<0.05). It indicated that vascular endothelial growth factor was related with the new blood capil aries repairing tissue, and transforming growth factor-β1 might play a role that stimulates bone resorption in psychological stress.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of metformin on sex hormone level,insulin resistance and related indexes in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS). METHODS:79 PCOS women were collected as PCOS group,other 86 healthy women as control group. All patients received 0.85 g Metformin tablet,twice a day,for totally 6 months. Boby mass,BMI,waist circumference,hip circumference,ratio of waist to hip,glycated hemoglobin,T,DHEA-S,E2,LH,FSH,PRL,PROG,SHBG, FPG,FINS,LH/FSH,HOMA-IR and FAI before and after treatment in PCOS group were observed and compared with control group. RESULTS:During treatment,2 patients made withdrawal because of pregnancy,3 made withdrawal because of showing gastrointestinal side effects,2 were lost to follow,totally 72 completed it. After treatment,body mass,BMI,waist circumference, hip circumference,glycated hemoglobin,FINS,HOMA-IR,T,LH,LH/FSH,PROG,FAI in PCOS group were significantly low-er than before,SHBG was significantly higher than before,glycated hemoglobin and PROG were lower than control group,while waist circumference,FINS,HOMA-IR,LH/FSH and FAI were higher than control group,the differences were statistically signifi-cant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ratio of waist to hip,FPG,DHEA-S,E2,FSH and PRL before and after treatment(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Metformin can effectively improve the sex hormone levels and insulin resistance of patients with PCOS.
