Objective To investigate the abnormal distribution of lymphocytes in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis and its significance. Methods In 43 cases, biopsies of ectopic tissues were taken by laparoscopy and laparotomy from patients with endometriosis and eutopic endometrium by curettage at the same time. In 19 cases, eutopic endometrium was taken from hysterectomy for myomatous uterus. Immunohistochemical techniques were employed to demonstrate the difference in the number and ratio of the lymphocyte subsets between the patients with endometriosis and the controls. Results In the patients with endometriosis, in the proliferative phase, ectopic endometrium contained respectively CD+3、CD+8T cells and CD+68 macrophages (67.2±13.5)/5HP, (45.0±14.0)/5 HP and (37.2±10.6)/5 HP, significanly higher then that in the eutopic endometriun (52.4±11.3)/5HP (P<0.01), (32.5±10.0)/5HP (P<0.05), and (30.7±10.3)/5HP, and also higher as compared with the control group (52.1±14.9)/5HP (P<0.05), (28.9±12.7)/5HP (P<0.01), (26.3±9.3)/5HP (P<0.05); in the secretory phade, CD+8/CD+4, and CD+68 content was respectively 3.5±1.2,(40.3±12.2)/5HP, higher than that in the control group, 3.2±0.8 (P<0.05), (28.6±10.6)/5HP (P<0.01). The number of macrophages was also significantly increased. No cyclic changes in the number of lymphocytes in each subpopulation in ectopic endometrium were found. Conclusions In the patients with endometriosis, the changes in T lymphocytes and macrophages are mainly on the endometriotic sites. The infiltration of many lymphocytes and macrophages into the ectopic endometrium formed a chronic inflammatory process. The lymphocytes are not able to clear the ectopic endometrium in the late stages of endometrium,on the contrary, they stimulate the further growth of the endometrium.

EpigeneticsreferstoheritablealterationsingeneexpressionthatdonotinvolvetheDNA coding sequence itself.Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in gene expression,DNA replication,rep-aration and reconstitution. Thus, the abnormity of epigenetic regulation may lead to different diseases, especially cancer.SNF5 ,which can suppress tumor significantly,is one of the core components of SWI/SNF chromosome remodeling complexes.EZH2,a histone methyltransferase,is closely and complicatedly related to cancer and has significant effect on tumorigenesis.There are many studies reporting the effects of epigenetic regulation factors-SNF5 and EZH2 on different tumors as well as the interrelation at present.In the present paper,the advances in the research on these two epigenetic regulation factors in the carcinogenesis are reviewed.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum albumin, bilirubin and cognitive impairment in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods Serum albumin, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin were analyzed in 89 cases of MCI and 82 cases of cognitively normal control. All of the cases underwent neuropsychological testing by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The risk factors of MCI were subject to Logistic regression analysis. Results The serum level of total bilirubin in MCI group were significantly lower than that in controls (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in albumin between MCI and control group (P > 0.05). The bilirubin level was positively correlated with MMSE scores and MoCA scores (including attention, delayed recall and abstract) (P < 0.05), while no significant correlation between serum albumin level and scores of MMSE and MoCA (P > 0.05) by using Spearman correlation analysis. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, education level, diabetes and serum bilirubin levels were independent risk factors for MCI. Conclusion Our data show that decreased serum level of bilirubin is positively related to cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the impact on the endothelial cell function and renal blood flow through effective treatment for elderly patients with hypertension. Methods 64 cases of elderly hypertensive patients over 70years old with effective treatment, according to pre-treatment blood pressure, were divided into two groups: hyptension level-2 group(30cases) and hypertension level-3 group(34cases), and 30 cases of elderly people with health physical examination during the same period were setlected as the control group. Endothelial cell function was detected, including the endothelin-1 (ET-1)、 nitrous oxide (NO), thromboxane B2 (TXB2)、 6-keto-prostaglandinF1α (6-K-PDGF1α) in plasma. Renal blood flow was explored by color doppler ultrasonic instrument ,involving peak velocity in systole(PSV) and lowest velocity in end-diastole(EDV) of renal arteries, segmental arteries and interlobar arteries.After indicators had reached the standard 1 month in the hypertension level-2 and hypertension leve1-3 patients with effective antihypertensive therapy, the difference of ET-1, NO, TXB2,6-k-PGF1o and PSV, EDV among the three groups were compared. Results The differences were statistically significant in ET-1, NO, TXB2,6-k-PGF1α, PSV and EDV before treatment among three groups (P < 0.05). After blood pressure treated had reached the standard 1 month,indicators were no statistically meaningful difference among the three groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion After effective clinical treatments, the endothelial cell function and renal blood flow of the elderly hypertensive patients can be improved. At the same time, to delay renal damage in elderly patients with hypertension provide a theoretical basis.

Objective To investigate the influence of Chinese medicine ( CM) treatment on life span of middle-late primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients. Results A multicenter retrospective cohort study was carried out in 489 PHC patients at the stages of Ⅱb, Ⅲa and Ⅲb collected from 15 domestic hospitals. With CM treatment as the exposure factor, the enrolled patients were divided into CM group, western medicine (WM) group and the CM-WM combination group. The main outcomes included median survival time (MST) and survival rate, and the effects of CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy on MST were observed. Results Half-a-year survival rate, one-year survival rate and two-year survival rate were 50%, 9%, 1% in CM group, 70%, 30%, 6% in CM-WM combination group, and 50%, 10%, 0% in WM group, respectively. The survival rates in CM-WM combination group differed from those in CM group and WM group (P<0.01), but the differences of survival rates between CM group and WM group were insignificant (P>0.05) . MST at the stages of Ⅱb, Ⅲa, Ⅲb in CM-WM group was obviously prolonged as compared with the other two groups (P<0.01), and MST at the stages of Ⅲa, Ⅲb in CM group was also obviously prolonged as compared with WM group (P<0.05) . The difference of MST at the stage of Ⅱb was insignificant between CM group and WM group ( P>0.05) . CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy were effective on prolonging the survival time of PHC patients ( P<0.01) . The results of COX regressionanalysis showed that Karnofsky scores, CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy were the preventive factors for the prognosis. Conclusion CM-WM combination group has the best long -term therapeutic effect. CM -WM combination treatment is effective on increasing MST and long-term survival rate, in particular for PHC patients at the stages ofⅡb, Ⅲa and Ⅲb. CM treatment and minimally invasive therapy are helpful for the prolongation of the survival time of PHC patients.

This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy ofTong-Bu San-Sheng(TBSS) Decoction to reduce the toxicity and side effects of chemotherapy, as well as prolong progression-free survival (PFS) for advanced lung squamous carcinoma patients who received chemotherapy. A total of 83 lung squamous carcinoma cases were divided into two groups by patients’ wishes. The control group contained 41 cases were treated by the chemotherapy of gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP). The trial group contained 42 cases were treated by chemotherapy plus Chinese herbal medicine TBSS decoction. The toxicity and side effects of chemotherapy, as well as short-term outcome were evaluated. PFS of patient was recorded. The results showed that there were no differences on granulocytopenia (P = 0.115) or short-term outcome (P = 0.081) for patients of both groups after chemotherapy. The percentages of nausea, vomiting and thrombocytopenia in the trial group were lower than that in the control group (P = 0.037,P = 0.040). The PFS of patients in the trail group were prolonged compared to patients in the control group (4.31 ± 0.24 VS 3.78 ± 0.16 month;P = 0.043). It was concluded that Chinese herbal medicine TBSS decoction cannot reduce granulocytopenia caused by chemotherapy, or improve the tumor response rate (RR) of short-term outcome. However, it can prolong PFS, relieve nausea, vomiting and thrombocytopenia during chemotherapy.
