Objective To evaluate and compare the advantages and disadvantages and the clinical applica- _ tion between abdominal hysterectomy (AH) and laparoscopically hysterectomy ( LAH) on the benign lesions of Non-prolapsed Uterus. Methods 400 patients with benign lesions of Non-prolapsed Uterus were divided into two groups. They were AH group (202 cases) and LAH group (198 cases). The effects of clinical treatment of the two groups were compared. Results In LAH group anal exhaust time,postoperative morbidity,length of stay were less than those in AH group,the difference was statistically significant(P <0. 05 ). The cost of LAH group was higher,and all symptoms were relieved after opreation. In LAH group,the average recovery time of the surgery to return to work time was(21 ± 7) d, but in AH group that was( 36 ± 8 ) d. The differences of recovery rime between two groups were statistically significantly ( P < 0.05). In two groups B-myoma were not found obvious by follow-up. Conclusion Different surgical patterns of hysterectomy had their distinctive advantages. The key point of a successful operation was to avoid complications of the operation.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Annexin A1 on migratory and invasive ability of colon cancer cells. Methods Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3. 1-Annexin A1 was constructed and analyzed by restriction analysis and sequencing. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3. 1-Annexin A1 was transfected into SW480 cells by liposome-mediated gene transferred method. The stable transfectants were obtained after screening with G418. Real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis were used to examine the expression of Annexin A1 mRNA and protein in SW480 cells before and after transfection. Wound-healing experiment and Transwell invasion assays were used to study the effects of Annexin A1 on the migratory and invasive ability of SW480 cells. Results The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3. 1-Annexin A1 was successfully constructed. The results of real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis showed that the Annexin A1 expression was significantly higher in cells transfected with pcDNA3. 1-Annexin A1 than in un-transfected cells or those transfected with empty vectors (P<0. 01), while there was no significant difference between the last two groups (P>0.05). The migratory rate of SW480 cells in pcDNA3. 1- Annexin A1 group was significantly higher than those in un-transfected cells or transfected with empty vectors ([0. 415 ± 0. 002) vs [0. 267± 0. 003] and [0. 271 ±0. 002], P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the latter two groups. The migrating SW480 cells in pcDNA3. 1-Annexin A1 group was significantly more than those in the other two groups ([ 221. 75± 12. 07] vs [162. 80± 12. 07] and [164. 25±9. 50], P<0. 05). Conclusion Overexpression of Annexin A1 can increase the migratory and invasive ability of SW480 cell line.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small proportion of tumor cells with the property of stem cells in the tumor tissue; they are capable of self-renewal, multi-lineage differentiation and serve as the source of tumor cells and tumor tissues. The discovery of multiple myeloma CSCs and the study on its relationship with side population cells and niche provide a new interpretation on the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Bu Shen Tiao Qi(supplementing the kidney and regulating qi) needling in treating perimenopausal syndrome.Method Fifty patients were randomized into two groups, 25 cases each. The treatment group was intervened by Bu Shen Tiao Qineedling combined with electroacupuncture, while the control group was by shallow needling plus sham electroacupuncture. Kupperman Index (KI) wasobserved respectively before treatment, after 2-week and 4-week treatment, and in the 4-week follow-up study. The differences of scores and improvements of the 13 symptoms listed in KI were calculated.Result The total effective rate was 92.0% in the treatment group versus 44.0% in the control group; in the treatment group, the KI scores after 2-week treatment and in the 4-week follow-up study were significantly different from that before treatment (P<0.05), and a more significant difference was found after 4-week treatment (P<0.01); the between-group differences were statistically significant in comparing KI (P<0.05).Conclusion Bu Shen Tiao Qineedling can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating perimenopausal syndrome.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of liver-soothing and spleen-reinforcing acupuncture in treating functional constipation.Methods Sixty patients with functional constipation were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 30 cases each. The treatment group received liver-soothing and spleen-reinforcing acupuncture and the control group, oral administration of prucalopride succinate tablets. The number of complete spontaneous bowel movements (CSBM), the number of spontaneous bowel movements (SBM), constipation symptoms (defecation time, defecatory difficulty and fecal characters) scores and The Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life (PAC-QOL) score were recorded in the two groups before and after two and four weeks of treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared.Results After two weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM in the treatment group (P<0.05) and significant post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM between the two groups (P<0.05). After four weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM in the two groups (P<0.05) and no significant post-treatment differences in CSBM and SBM between the two groups (P>0.05). After two and four weeks of treatment, there were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in constipation symptoms scores in thetwo groups (P<0.05). After two weeks of treatment, the defecation time and defecatory difficulty scores were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group; there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0.05). After two and four weeks of treatment, the fecal character score was significantly higher in the control than in the treatment group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant pre-/post-treatment differences in the PAC-QOL scores in the two groups (P<0.05) and no significant post-treatment differences in the PAC-QOL scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The total efficacy rate was 80.0% in the treatment group and 73.3% in the control group; there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Liver-soothing and spleen-reinforcing acupuncture has a marked therapeutic effect on functional constipation. It produces a quick effect with high safety.
