Objective To explore the application value of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment for cesarean scar pregnancy. Method The ultrasonic features, clinical treatment of 42 cases of cesarean scar pregnancy were reviewed retrospectively. Results Among 42 patients,35 patients (83.3% ,35/42) were diagnosed accurately by ultrasound. The sonographic appearance showed 15 cases were gestational sac-type and 22 cases were mixed mass-type,the other 5 cases were classified into type three in which the gestational sac mostly located at the uterine cavity and only the inferior part implanted in the cesarean scar. Uterine artery embolisation and suction curettage with the sonographic guidance with 2 cases, intra-amniotic administration of MTX under sonographic guidance with 15 cases, expectant treatment with 20 cases or complex treatment with 5 cases. During treatment,ultrasonography showed focus of infection was shrinked gradually and blood flow disappeared, blood (3 -human chorionic gonadotrophin was decreased to normal level. ConclusionUltrasound can diagnose cesarean scar pregnancy promptly and accurately, proportionate treatment would be selected according to the type of cesarean scar pregnancy, and also can evaluate the therapeutic effect.

ObjectivesTo compare operative characteristics, postoperative residue, recurrence, and pregnancy outcome between laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) and transabdominal myomectomy (TAM),and investigate the favourable surgical approach in women with uterine myomas. MethodsFrom Jan 2008 to Dec 2008, 313 women undergoing LM and 148 women undergoing TAM were studied retrospectively in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The patients' general information, including the largest diameter,mean numbers and weights of excised myomas, peri-operative characteristics (operating time, blood loss,and hemoglobin decrease), and residue, recurrence of myoma, and pregnancy outcome were compared and analyzed. Results The largest diameter, mean numbers and mean weight of myomas removed were larger in TAM group [( 7.6 ± 3.0) cm, (5.6 ± 5.5 ), ( 308 ± 364) g, respectively]than those in LM group [(6.8±2.0) cm, (2.4 ±2.1), (140 ± 109) g, respectively; P＜0.01]. While the extension of operating time [(89±32) versus (74 ±35) min], increased blood loss [(239 ±251 ) versus ( 149 ±252) ml]and hemoglobin decrease [(22 ± 14) versus ( 15 ± 12) g/L], and longer hospital stay [(6. 4 ± 1. 6)versus (4. 4 ± 1.3) d]were observed in TAM group when compared with those in LM group ( P ＜0. 01 ).However, the residue rate of LM and TAM was 2. 6％ versus 1.4％ respectively ( P = 0. 5130 ) ; the recurrence rate of LM and TAM was 11.1％ versus 12. 3％ (P ＞ 0. 05 ) ; the pregnancy rate of LM and TAM was 49. 2％ versus 9/13 separately, the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0. 2330 ). The number of myomas removed was the significant risk factors associated with recurrence ( OR = 2. 805, 95％CI: 1. 192 -6. 601, P = 0. 0180). No uterine rapture occurred during pregnancy. ConclusionsBoth LM and TAM are effective surgical approaches for the patients with leiomyoma who desire to pregnancy, or to retain the integrity of their uteruses. Most of uterine myoma could be treated through laparoscopy. The residue rate of LM is higher than that of TAM. However, the short term recurrence rates of LM and TAM are similar. Multiple myomas is the risk factor associated with recurrence after myomectomy. The pregnancy rates are comparable between LM and TAM groups.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of autophagy on exocrine function of pancreas in rats with acute sepsis, and to determine whether the mitochondrial coenzyme Q (Mito Q) can prevent exocrine dysfunction of pancreas mediated by autophagy.Methods ExperimentⅠ: 30 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups, with 10 rats in each group. All the rats were given lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 10 mg/kg) intraperitoneally, and Wortmannin (2 mg/kg), the specific inhibitor of autophagy (LPS+ Wortmannin group), Mito Q (6.5μmol/kg, LPS+Mito Q group), or the same volume of normal saline (LPS group) was respectively injected via the tail vein 1 hour later. Survival rate was assessed within 12 hours after LPS injection. ExperimentⅡ: another 100 male SD rats were randomly divided into ten groups with 10 rats in each group: namely control 4, 6 and 12 hours groups, LPS 4, 6 and 12 hours groups, and LPS+ Wortmannin 4 hours group, Wortmannin 4 hours group, LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours group, and Mito Q 6 hours group. The protocols of model reproduction and drug administration were the same as in the experimentⅠ. Blood samples were collected at each time point, and the amylase content was determined with the velocity method. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the pancreases were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of the autophagy-related protein LC3 was determined with Western Blot. The pathological changes in the pancreas were observed with microscopy.Results① The survival time in the LPS+ Wortmannin group was significantly shorter than that in the LPS group (hours: 7.50±0.64 vs. 11.90±0.13,χ2= 19.847,P= 0.001). There was no significant difference in the survival time between LPS+ Mito Q and LPS groups (hours: 11.60±0.24 vs. 11.90±0.13,χ2= 1.055,P= 0.137).② The serum amylase in the LPS 6 hours, LPS+ Wortmannin 4 hours, and LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours groups were significantly higher than those in the control group at the same time points (U/L:2 881.00±550.12 vs. 2 099.20±249.57, 3 672.00±779.24 vs. 2 081.36±245.18, 2 975.20±687.03 vs. 2 099.20± 249.57, allP< 0.05), and were significantly lowered in LPS 12 hours group (U/L: 794.00±218.71 vs. 2 086.80±261.75, P< 0.01). The pancreatic ROS in the LPS 6 hours and 12 hours groups, LPS+ Wortmannin 4 hours group, and LPS+Mito Q 6 hours group were significantly higher than those of the control group at the same time points (kU/L: 3.18±1.06 vs. 1.78±0.37, 3.63±1.08 vs. 1.85±0.41, 3.14±0.98 vs. 1.65±0.34, 3.17±1.03 vs. 1.78±0.37, allP< 0.05). The serum amylase and pancreatic ROS in LPS+ Wortmannin 4 hours group were significantly higher than those of the LPS group at the same time points (U/L: 3 672.00±779.24 vs. 2 432.20±442.85, kU/L: 3.14±0.98 vs. 1.87±0.42, both P< 0.05), but there were no differences in above two parameters between LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours group and LPS group (U/L: 2 975.20±687.03 vs. 2 881.00±550.12, kU/L: 3.17±1.03 vs. 3.18±1.06, bothP> 0.05). Light microscopy showed that obvious pathological changes were found in the pancreas in the LPS 6 hours and 12 hours groups, LPS+Wortmannin 4 hours group, and LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours group. Electron microscopy showed that the number of autophagic vacuoles increased 6 hours after LPS administration. There was no difference at any time point in the number of autophagic vacuoles between LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours group and LPS 6 hours group, and the autophagic vacuoles were not found after Wortmannin intervention. It was demonstrated by Western Blot that the levels of LC3 protein in the LPS 6 hours and 12 hours groups, and LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours group were significantly higher than those of the control group at the same time points (A value: 0.34±0.02 vs. 0.17±0.02, 0.37±0.03 vs. 0.18±0.04, 0.36±0.02 vs. 0.17±0.02, allP< 0.05), but there were no differences between LPS 12 hours group or LPS+ Mito Q 6 hours group and LPS 6 hours group (bothP> 0.05).Conclusions Autophagy prevents exocrine dysfunction of pancreas in septic rats, and the autophagic capacity or autophagosome-formation rate may determine the development of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction. The mitochondria-targeted antioxidant Mito Q does not prevent exocrine dysfunction of pancreas.

Objective To investigate the effects of autophagy on cardiac function and to determine whether the mitochondrial coenzyme Q (MitoQ) prevents cardiac dysfunction,mediated by autophagy,in rats with acute sepsis.Methods Forty-five Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 9 groups (n =5,each group):control group,4 h lipopolysaccharide(LPS) group,6 h LPS group,12 h LPS group,4 h LPS + Wortmannin group,4 h LPS + MitoQ group,6 h LPS + MitoQ group,MitoQ group and Wortmannin group.Rats in LPS + Wortmannin group and LPS + MitoQ group were intraperitoneally given LPS(10 mg/kg) and followed by an injection of Wortmannin(2 mg/kg) and MitoQ (6.5 μmol/kg) via tail vein 1 hour later,respectively.Rats in each group were given the same amount of normal sodium in addition to different intervention drugs.The cardiac function parameters were measured by a BL-420E + biosignal collection system.Blood samples from abdominal aorta were taken at each time point,and creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) content was detected by using the velocity method.The content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in isolated myocardial tissues in rats was measured by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay(ELISA).The protein expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) was detected by Western blot method.The pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed by light and electronic microscopy.Results Compared with the control group,the left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),the rate of the rise in left ventricular pressure (± dp/dt max) were significantly decreased in 6 h LPS group,6 h LPS + MitoQ group and 4 h LPS + Wortmannin group(P ＜0.05),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP) was significantly increased in these 3 groups(P ＜0.05).The contents of CKMB and ROS in 6 h LPS group,6 h LPS =MitoQ group and 4 h LPS + Wortmannin group were higher than those in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).Electron microscopy showed that the number of autophagic vacuoles increased 6 h after LPS was administered,but did not increase significantly thereafter to 12 h.There was no difference at any time point in the number of autophagic vacuoles in the group given MitoQ and LPS.Immunoblotting demonstrated that the levels of LC3Ⅱ protein in the LPS 6 h group and LPS + MitoQ 6 h group were higher than those in the control group(P ＜0.05),but there was no difference between the LPS 12 h and LPS 6 h groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The mitochondria-targeted antioxidant MitoQ does not prevent cardiac dysfunction.However,autophagy prevents cardiac dysfunction,and the autophagic capacity or autophagosome-formation rate may determine whether cardiac dysfunction develops.

Objective To observe the effect of inhaled glucocorticoids combined with theophylline in smoking patients with bronchial asthma.Methods Seventy-three patients with bronchial asthma were enrolled in this study and they were divided into observation group (34 cases,smoker) and control group(39 cases,no-smoker).They all accepted inhalation of budesonide 200 μ g/suck,bis in die,plus aminophylline tablet (0.1 g,ter in die,per os) for 3 months.After treatment for 3 months,the basal control rate was compared between two groups.The levels of asthma control test (ACT) score,peak expiratory flow (PEF),the first second forced expiratory volume accounted for the percentage of prediction (FEV1％pred),eosinophil leukocyte (EOS) count and immunoglobulin E(IgE) in two groups before and after treatment for 3 months were compared too.Results After treatment for 3 months,the basal control rate in observation group was 88.24％ (30/34),in control group was 92.31％(36/39),and there was no significant difference(P＞ 0.05).After treatment for 3 months,the levels of ACT score,PEF and FEV1％pred in two groups were increased and the levels of EOS count and IgE were decreased than those before treatment,and there were significant difference (P ＜0.05).After treatment for 3 months,the levels of ACT score,PEF,FEV1％ pred,EOS count and IgE in observation group were (22.43 ± 2.64) scores,(292.52 ± 98.64) L/min,(74.87 ± 4.83)％,(270 ± 180) × 106/L,(68.25 ± 13.89) U/L,in control group were(22.81 ± 2.27) scores,(300.34 ± 100.45) L/min,(75.26 ± 5.04)％,(210 ± 170) × 106/L,(65.47 ± 11.28) U/L,and there were no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Low dose inhaled glucocorticoids combined with theophylline in treatment smoking and non-smoking asthmatics patients are equal.It can improve asthma symptoms and lung function,improve hormone sensitive and reduce airway inflammation.

Objective To study the expression of transient receptor potential channel (TRPC) isoforms (TRPC1,3,4,5,6,7) inrats with cardiac hypertrophy.Methods Thirty adult male SD rats,weighing 200-240 g were divided into surgical group (model group,20 rats) and sham group (control group,10 rats) by random number table according to body weight.Aortic coarctation surgery was performed to establish a rat model of myocardial hypertrophy and the control group did not ligate thoracic aorta,but the same surgical procedure with the model group was performed.After 10 weeks,echocardiography was used to check changes of cardiac function; cardiac tissues of rats were weighed and cardiac hypertrophy index was calculated.Cardiac HE staining was used for observation of myocardial tissue morphological changes.Quantitative RT-PCR method was used for measuring the mRNA expression of TPRC isoforms (TRPC1,3,4,5,6,7).Western blotting assay was applied to detect the protein expression of TRPC4 and TPRC5 in hypertrophic cardiac tissue of rats.The relationship between cardiac hypertrophy exponential and TRPC4,TRPC5 protein expression was studied.Results Echocardiography showed that the septal thickness and posterior wall thickness in model group increased significantly compared with those of the control group [mm:(2.64 ± 0.31) vs.(1.89 ± 0.15),(2.30 ± 0.14) vs.(1.60 ± 0.09),t =9.19,8.57,all P ＜ 0.05].Compared with the control group,cardiac hypertrophy index was significantly increased in model group [(3.21 ± 0.15)vs.(1.82 ± 0.10)mg/g,t =17.02,P ＜ 0.01].HE staining of myocardium showed that cardiomyocyte hypertrophy,abnormal nuclear morphology and significantly enlarged nuclear,and hyperplasia of myocardial interstitial fibrous connective tissue could be seen in model group.The mRNA expression of TRPC4 and TRPC5 was significantly increased in the model group as compared to those of the control group (1.51 ± 0.48 vs.1.22 ± 0.25,1.65 ± 0.35 vs.1.27-± 0.87,t =3.55,4.65,all P ＜ 0.05).The protein expression of TRPC4 and TRPC5 was significantly increased in the model group as compared to those of the control group (1.00 ± 0.54 vs.1.45 ± 0.68,1.00 ± 0.65 vs.1.58 ±0.93,t =5.51,7.10,all P ＜ 0.05).The protein expression of TRPC4 and TPRC5 were associated with cardiac hypertrophy index (r =0.728,0.681,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Expression of TRPC4 and TRPC5 is increased in rats with cardiac hypertrophy.
