Objective:To explore the way to separate and culture eutopic and ectopic endometrial glandular cells and their stromal cells,providing an in vitro cell model of endometriosis for study of its mechanism. Methods:Digestion,filtration and sedimentation were used to isolate and culture the eutopic and ectopic endometrial glandular cells and their stromal cells. The estrogen level was imatated to study the way of promoting cell growth. Morphological characters of eutopic and ectopic endometrial cells were examined using optical microscope. Results:The success rate of separation and culture of normal control endometrial glandular cells and its stromal cells was 91.7%(11/12);of eutopic endometrial glandular cells and its stromal cells of endometriosis was 93.8%(15/16);of etopic endometrial glandular cells and its stromal cells of endometriosis was 75.0%(12/16) . Conclusion:The cultured eutopic and ectopic endometrial cells is more like human body feature than the endometriosis model of animals. So the isolation and culture of eutopic and ectopic endometrial glandular cells and their stromal cells may serve as an in vitro experimental model.

Objective To discuss whether the separating block of sensory nerve with acupoint-injection and epidural analgesia by ropivacaine during labour.Methods Ninty full term primigravidae with ASAⅠ～Ⅱwere randomly divided into 3 groups:group E(n = 30),group C(n = 30)and group A(n = 30).When the external cervi- cal os was dilated to 3cm,group A:acupiont-injection to Ci Liao;group E:epidural analgesia with 0.075% ropiva- caine and fentanyel 2?g/ml;group C:combining group A and group E except fentanyel 2?g/ml.Level of pain(VAS scores),degree of sensory and motor block,the mode of delivery,the progress of labour and side effects were recorded and compared.Results The level of pain(VAS scores)in group A was higher than that of group C and group E,and there were no significant differences in group C and group E,Bur there were some side effects discovered in group E. There was no significant differences of the mode of delivery in the groups.Conclusion The method that acupoint- rejection combined with epidural analgesia by 0.075% ropivacaine is effective and has no side effects for labour.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnostic and application value of pre-operative 64-slice spiral CT evaluation in operation selection for esophagus cancer.

METHODSMulti-slice computed tomography (MSCT) was conducted in 50 patients with esophageal cancer before operation, using the work station for after-treatment to get CT virtual endoscopy (CTVE), multiplanar reconstruction (MRP), shaded surface display (SSD) and Raysum images, and combined with the transect images to record the preoperative MSCT staging and to predict the operation scheme, and compared with the postoperative pathological staging and the actual operational plan.

RESULTSThe diagnostic sensitivity of MSCT for preoperative T staging was 100.0% (50/50), while the N staging was 80.0% (16/20). According to the MSCT prediction, the resection rate of esophageal cancer was 96.0% (48/50). Through the preoperative MSCT evaluation, the accuracy of CT-TNM stage was 90.0%, highly consistent with the pathological TNM stage (Kappa = 0.811, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSMSCT can effectively display the shape, size and position of the tumor, determine the tumor invasion range, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis, etc., make preoperative evaluation for esophagus cancer patients and provide evidence for clinicians to predict the operation scheme for esophagus cancer.
