Journal of Chinese Physician 2015;17(8):1147-1148
Endometrial cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in female genital tract.The incidence of endometrial cancer is increasing,even the top one in the developed country and bigger cities in China.The screening of endometrial cancer should be performed in the high risk population.In the recent years,the popular screening methods for endometrial cancer include ultrasound,endometrial biopsy,and endometrial cytology (ECT),etc.This review introduces briefly above methods.
2.Nongenomic effects of estrogen on extracellular signal-regulated kinases through initiating transient calcium flux in endometrial cancer
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2015;(3):489-493
Objective:To study the mechanism on extracellular signal-regulate kinases ( ERK) signal transduction by calcium influx initiated by combination of estrogen with calcium channels or estrogen re-ceptor in endometrial cancer cell Ishikawa. Methods: Confocal test was used to determine the relative calcium mobilization by stimulation of estrodiol together with and without the inhibition of ICI182780 and nifedipine. Western-blotting was used to detect the protein expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 (P-ERK1/2) in the same condition. Results:The transient calcium flux initiated by 17β-estrodiol (E2) and a membrane-impermeable conjugate of estrogen and bovine serum albumin ( E2-BSA ) , and the calcium mobilization could be inhibited by ICI182780 and nifedipine in 1 min. In Ishikawa cells, phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was stimulated by E2 , and the phosphorylation could not be inhibited by E2 after the combination with ICI182780 in 5 min and in 30 min. The phosphorylation also could not be in-hibited by E2-BSA after the combination with nifedipine in 5 min, but in 30 min the phosphorylation was decreased. The phosphorylation of ERK by E2-BSA was decreased by the combination with nifedipine in 30 min. Conclusion:The transient calcium flux initiated by estrogen has an effect on the activation of ERK signal pathway in endometrial carcinoma cells.

Objective To investigate clinical treatment and outcome of mesh-related pain after pelvic floor reconstruction. Methods Twelve patients were referred to Peking University People′s Hospital for post-operation pain related to polypropylene mesh or tape used in pelvic floor reconstruction and received reoperation from January 2007 to December 2014. The demographic characteristics, clinical manifestation, operation method and follow-up outcome were retrospectively analyzed, and current literature was also reviewed. Results (1)General information:the median age was 54 years old(range 43-74 years old). The median vaginal delivery times was 2 (range 1-5). Initial pelvic floor operation procedures included 4 cases vaginal mesh, 5 cases vaginal mesh plus tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), 1 case rectal surface mesh implantation, and 2 cases sacrocolpopexy. (2) Related complications:all 12 patients had pain-related post-operation symptoms including dyspareunia, perineal pain, urination and defecation difficulty. Seven patients also complicated with other symptoms including discharge and bleeding. Mean time from first operation to medical consultation was 30 months (range 1-72 months). (3) Reoperation results:all 12 patients received reoperation on mesh revision or tape, 10 cases of them reoperated by vaginal approach, while the other 2 cases by laparoscopy. The range of the mesh or tape depended on tender or firm tissue and scar by palpation. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was significantly improved, which was 7.1 ± 2.2 pre-operation, and 0.9 ± 1.9 post-operation (95%CI: 4.48-7.86, P<0.01). Conclusions Pain is one of the reason why patients was removal of the mesh or tape after pelvic floor reconstruction operation. The surgery procedure may be considered as partial or entire mesh or tape excision by vaginal or abdominal way. Mesh or tape removal surgery could relieve related pain and other complications, and the VAS score was significantly improved after surgical management.

Objective To study the urodynamic characteristics of women with pelvic organ prolapse in prolapse and reset condition. Methods From Jan. 2010 to Apr. 2010, 30 patients with pelvic organ prolapse (POP), including 1 case in grade Ⅰ , 6 cases in grade Ⅱ , 21 cases in grade Ⅲ and 2 cases in grade Ⅳ, treated in Peking University People's Hospital were analyzed their urodynamical changes at status of prolapse and reset with pessary. Results (1)The symptoms: in the prolapse condition, there were 11 patients with bladder outlet obstruction( BOO), 7 patients with residual volume more than 100 ml, and 4 patients with stress urinary incontinence(SUI). In the reset condition, there were 5 patients with BOO,5 patients with residual volume more than 100 ml, and 4 SUI patients. (2) Characteristics of urodynamic:there were significant difference in first desire to void ( FD, P = 0. 047), normal desire to void ( ND, P =0. 007), strong desire to void ( SD, P = 0. 001 ), maximum cystometric capacity ( MCC, P = 0. 001 ),maximum flow rate ( Q=max, P = 0. 001 ), average flow rate ( Q P = 0. 001 ), and residual volume ( RV,P = 0. 025 ) between prolapse and reset condition among all patients. In patients with grade Ⅰ to Ⅱprolapse, Qmax were (11 ±6) ml/s in prolapse condition and (15 ±4) ml/s in reset condition (P =0. 014), Qave were ( 6 ± 4 ) ml/s in prolapse condition and ( 7 ± 3 ) ml/s in reset condition ( P = 0. 237 ),RV were (29 ±46) ml in prolapse condition and (15 ±25) ml in reset condition (P =0. 157). Among patients with grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ prolapse, Qmax were ( 11 ± 8 ) ml/s in prolapse condition and ( 17 ± 10) ml/s in reset condition (P=0.001), Qave were (5 ±4) ml/s in prolapse condition and (7 ±4) ml/s in reset condition ( P = 0. 002 ), RV were ( 105 ± 169 ) ml in prolapse condition and (47 ± 92) ml in reset condition (P = 0. 037 ). Conclusions Patients with pelvic organ prolapse Ⅲ - Ⅳ may present pseudo BOO,recessive stress urinary incontinence and residual volume more than 100 ml. There were significant improvement in cystometric sensation, capacity, flow rate, and residual volume after reset. The urodynamic test for patients with pelvic organ prolapse in the reset condition might be much better in evaluating lower urinary tract function.
