Objective To explore the clinic effect of marvelon and estrogen on puberty dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Methods 50 patients were evaluated inclouding 20 patients treated by estrogen in estrogen(E) group and 30 patients treated by marvelon in progestin and estrogen(PE) group.Results The time when bleeding was stoped completely were (21.65?9.62) hours in E group and (13.68?5.67) hours in PE group(P
7.Bacterial analysis of combined periodontal-endodontic lesions using polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE)
Chinese Journal of Microbiology and Immunology 2012;(10):866-870
Objective To compare the bacterial community profiles present in periodontium and root canals of the same tooth diagnosed as combined periodontal-endodontic lesions by using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).Methods Samples were collected from 13 extracted teeth with advanced periodontitis,endodontic samples from root tip 1/3 root canal,and periodontal samples from the corresponding neighboring periodontium.Genomic DNA was collected for the following universal bacterial primersPCR.The PCR products were then loaded on the DGGE gels to gain separate bands.The typical DGGE bands were excised,PCR-cloned and sequenced.Results The number of bands,which was indicative of the number of bacterial species,was compared intra-group (periodontal and pulpal specimen from the same tooth).The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01),but there was no positive correlation between them.The similarity (Dice Coefficient) between them was 13.1%-62.5%.Taxa identified through BLAST (≥98% identity) were Campylobacter,Fusobacterium,Neisseria,et al in the periodontium,and Mogibacterium,Corynebacterium,Actinomyces,et al in the root canals.Conclusion Common bacteria existed between them,but not all of the periodontal bacteria would appear in neighboring root canal; and the bacteria in the root canal are not completely from neighboring periodontal tissue.The original bacteria in the root canals may resuscitate and enrich the bacterial community.In combined periodontal-endodontic lesions (periodontal source),it is probable that new species existed to be confirmed either in the periodontium or in the root canal.
8.Biological characteristics of human amniotic cells on a three-dimensional fibrin scaffold
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(16):-
BACKGROUND:Preterm premature rupture of the membrane is a frequent complication during gestational period. Three-dimensional culture can help damaged tissue restore anatomical integrality,being worth for clinical application. OBJECTIVE:To explore biological characteristics of human amniotic cells three-dimensionally cultured by fibrin scaffold,study the possibility of cell/scaffold composite material for repairing preterm premature rupture of the membrane,and to compare with normal monolayer culture. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:An in vitro cell/scaffold study was performed at the Basic Institute of Chongqing University of Medical Science between December 2007 and November 2008. MATERIALS:Amnion tissue derived from uterine-incision delivery women was provided by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the First Affiliated Hospital,Chongqing University of Medical Sciences;fibrinogen was provided by Sigma,USA. METHODS:Either epithelial cells or mesenchymal cells,being isolated from human amniotic membrane,were cultivated using enzyme digestion and repeated adherence methods. Fibrinogen was conglomerated,and epithelial cells of logarithmic growth were plated onto the surface of fibrin scaffold to simulate a three-dimensional culture in vitro. Before conglomerating fibrinogen,mesenchymal cells of logarithmic growth were mixed with fibrin solution to simulate a three-dimensional culture in vivo. In addition,either epithelial cells or mesenchymal cells were incubated onto 24-well plate for normal monolayer culture. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell morphology using inverted microscopy,proliferation of mesenchymal cells,and interaction between mesenchymal cells and scaffold under different culture environments. RESULTS:Epithelial cells were round and smooth on the surface of fibrin scaffold,pseudopodia were stretched out,and microvillus were rich. Mesenchymal cells in fibrin glue were fusiform in shape and stretched out along scaffold. Cells formed net structure at different surfaces. By three-dimensional culture,proliferation of mesenchymal cells was stable but slow compared to monolayer culture. By in vivo three-dimensional culture,fibrin glue gradually shrank and gel thickness gradually decreased. On the 5th day,the gel thickness was only 40% for the initial thickness,and on the 15th day,gel thickness was 10%. CONCLUSION:Both epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells can sterically grow on fibrin scaffold,and the proliferation is stable. Fibrin glue gradually shrinks in cell/fibrin composite scaffold,suggesting that amniotic cells/fibrin composite scaffold can simulate body tissues to repair preterm premature rupture of the membrane.

10.The effect of the timing of terminating pregnancy with pernicious placenta previa after 34 weeks on the safety of surgery and the outcome with mother and child
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2021;44(6):543-546
Objective:To explore the effect of different pregnancy termination timings on the delivery safety of maternal women with pernicious placenta previa after 34 weeks.Methods:A total of 84 patients with pernicious placenta previa in Laoshan Campus of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from March 2018 to March 2019 were selected. The time of admission for delivery was more than 34 weeks. Forty women who pregnant from 34 weeks to 36 weeks of pregnancy was in the study group, 44 women who pregnant over 36 weeks was in the control group, and the pregnancy outcomes of the maternal fetuses of the two groups were compared.Results:The postpartum hemorrhage and the incidence of interventional surgery in the study group were less than those in the control group: (754.58 ± 20.35) ml vs. (1 449.26 ± 512.32) ml, 17.5%(7/40) vs. 52.27%(23/44), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The changes in hematocrit after delivery and before delivery, the amount of hemoglobin after delivery and before delivery, the rate of uterine gauze packing, the rate of Xinmupei, the rate of hysterectomy, the incidence of blood transfusion, the rate of postoperative ICU transfer between two groups hand no significant differences ( P>0.05). The incidence of neonatal birth weight less than 2 500 g and the proportion of transfer to neonatology in the study group were higher than those in the control group: 75.0%(30/40) vs. 11.36%(5/44), 80.0%(32/40) vs. 11.36%(5/44), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant differences in Apgar scores and mortality rate of newborns after birth between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:When the pernicious placenta previa is delivered after 34 weeks, the termination of pregnancy before 36 weeks of gestation is more secure for maternal and fetal health. If the fetal development rate is slow, it is necessary to appropriately extend the delivery time, but don′t exceed 36 weeks.
