Bile collected from 28 cases with various hepatic or biliary diseases during operation was assayed for the ?-glucuronidase level. In Group I consisting of 14 patients with primary intrahepatic stone, the ?-glucuronidase level averaged 2250.67 u/dl, while in Group II consisting of 14 patieats with other hepatic diseases, it averaged only 463.99 u/dl(P = 0.01).The patients of both groups showed a declination of the enzyme level gostoperatively, but in Group I, the enzyme level raised with other hepatic diseases, he T-tube. The AMPS and MP contents of the bile .remarkable inhibitory effect on two substances exert their function in positive remarkable inhibitory effect on at pH4,6. It is believed that. ?-glucuronidase, Group 11 consisting the results of thisles in the reformation of biliary stones reformation biliaryWhen ?-glucuronidase level is lower than 200u/dl.Chinese traditional prescriptions with glycynrhizae liquid extract shows a remarkable inhibitory effect on this enzyme. In Chinese traditonal prescriptions, the drugs which can promote circulation and clear deposit are usually added. According to the results of this study, the authors suggest that the therapeutic effect of glycyrrhizae be emphasized.

This report presents microscopic observation on morphological and immuno- cytochemical characteristics of the trophoblast cells of the human decidua at the implantation site in the first trimester pregnancy .The infiltration of a unique type of large cells different from cytotrophoblast (CT) and syncytotrophoblast (ST) was found in the decidua at the implantation site. These unique cells are termed inter- mediate trophoblast (IT). They are typically mononucleate, but may be binucleate or multinucleate. The mononucleate cells vary in shape from round, polyhedral spindle shaped. Their cytoplasm is typically abundant and eosinophilic or amphophilic. The nuclei may vary in size and shape. These cells usually distribute around the spiral arterioles, differse blood vessel wall, penetrate into the lumen, and even replace the blood vessel wall totally. Immunocytochemically, both these cells and ST are stained positive for HCG and HPL. However, the HCG-stained Cell population of IT.is much lower than that of ST,while the of HPL stained cell population of IT is significantly higher than that of ST.On the other hand,neither HCG nor HPL are positive in CT. The results of SP-1 ?-HCG usually go with those of HCG.in CT, ST and IT.The PAPP-A gives non specific staining result. It is believed that IT,with its distinct morphological and immunocytochemical feats,is regarded as a transitional form in the shift from CT to ST.

The superiority of the cumulative outcomes of day 5/6 embryo transfer to those of day 2/3 embryo transfer in infertile couples has been debated.This retrospective study included data collected from 1051 patients from July 2011 to June 2014.Multiple maternal baseline covariates were subjected to propensity score matching analysis,and each day 5/6 group woman was matched to one day 2/3 group woman.A systematic meta-analysis was conducted to validate the results.After matching was completed,217 patients on the day 2/3 group were matched with those on the day 5/6 group,and no significant differences in the baseline characteristics were observed between the two groups.The cumulative pregnancy rate (57.14％ vs.53.46％,OR 1.16,95％ CI 0.79-1.70) and cumulative live birth rate (53.00％ vs.49.77％,OR 1.14,95％ CI 0.78-1.66) of day 5/6 embryo transfers were higher than those of day 2/3 embryo transfers,but this difference was not significant.The mean cycles per live birth and mean days per live birth in the day 5/6 group were significantly lower than those in the day 2/3 group.This study demonstrated that day 5/6 embryo transfer is a more cost-effective and time-efficient policy than day 2/3 embryo transfer to produce a live baby.

This study was performed to evaluate the oncological and reproductive outcomes of childbearing-age women treated with fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) for non-epithelial ovarian tumors in China. One hundred and forty eight non-epithelial ovarian tumor women treated with FSS between January 1, 2000 and August 31, 2015 from two medical centers in China were identified. Progression-free survival (PFS) was 88.5%, whereas overall survival (OS) was 93.9%. Univariate analysis suggested that delivery after treatment is related to PFS (P = 0.023), whereas histology significantly influenced OS. Cox regression analysis suggested that only histology was associated with PFS and OS (P < 0.05). Among the 129 women who completed adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT), none developed amenorrhea. Among the 44 women who desired pregnancy, 35 (79.5%) successfully had 51 gestations including 35 live births without birth defects. Non-epithelial ovarian tumors can achieve fulfilling prognosis after FSS and chemotherapy. Histology might be the only independent prognostic factor for PFS and OS. FSS followed by ACT appeared to have little or no effect on fertility. Meanwhile, postoperative pregnancy did not increase the PFS or OS. Use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist was not beneficial for fertility.
