Objective To explore the diagnostic and therapeutic effects of laparoscopy for early atypical tubal pregnancy.Methods Laparoscopy was conducted for diagnosing and treating 38 cases of early or atypical tubal pregnancy.For patients with blue and purple pregnant swellings seen clearly in the fallopian tubes,or those with one side of fallopian tube locally swollen and purple without obvious pregnant swellings observed,combination of fallopian tubes incision to take out embryo and salpingorrhaphy was performed.For those cases with normal fallopian tubes on both sides in appearance and without current desire of pregnancy,diagnostic uterine curettage was applied.After the diagnosis of tubal pregnancy was confirmed,30 mg of MTX was injected into ampulla of both sides.For patients with demand of reproduction,diagnostic uterine curettage was not performed.Results Five cases were misdiagnosed before operation,the misdiagnosis rate was 13%.Three cases were misdiagnosed by laparoscopy,and the rate was 8%.Fallopian tubes incision for embryo-taking under laparoscope combined with salpingorrhaphy were applied to 30 cases.Four cases were treated conservatively with injecting 30 mg of MTX into the fallopian tubes.The success rate was 100%.Blood ?-hCG was back to the normal level(4.2?3.1)days after surgery.Conclusions Laparoscopy is the optimal technique for the diagnosis and treatment of early atypical tubal pregnancy.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of galangin(Gal)on the immune inflammatory response in preeclampsia(PE)rats by regulating the IL-6/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)signaling pathway.Methods:Pregnant rats were injected subcutaneously with L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME 125 mg/kg)to establish a PE model.After successful modeling,they were randomly grouped into Model group,low,medium and high doses Gal groups(10,30,and 60 mg/kg)and activator group(60 mg/kg Gal+0.05 mg/kg IL-6/STAT3 pathway activator rIL-6).Twelve pregnant rats of the same period were randomly selected as the control group,and each group was given corresponding drugs by gavage and intraperitoneal injection,once a day for a continuous week.The levels of mean caudal artery pressure(MAP)and 24-hour urinary protein and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)in rats during the third trimester of pregnancy were measured using a blood pressure tester and a fully automated biochemical analyzer;the number and weight of the average offspring of pregnant mice in each group were calculated,and the pregnancy outcome was analyzed;HE staining was applied to observe the pathological damage of rat placenta;ELISA was applied to detect the levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in the placenta of rats in each group;the proportion of T lymphocytes in rat peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry;Western blot was applied to detect the expression of IL-6/STAT3 pathway protein in rat placenta.Results:Compared with control group,the lev-els of MAP,24-hour urinary protein,BUN,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,the CD8+T cells,and the expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 proteins in Model group were obviously increased,the placenta tissue was severely damaged,the mean offspring number and mean offspring weight,the proportions of CD3+T,CD4+T,and CD4+/CD8+T cells were decreased(P<0.05);compared with Model group,the levels of MAP,24-hour urinary protein,BUN,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,the CD8+T cells,and the expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 proteins in Gal low,medium and high doses groups were obviously decreased,the damage to placental tissue was reduced,the mean offspring number and mean offspring weight,the proportions of CD3+T,CD4+T,and CD4+/CD8+T cells were in-creased(P<0.05);compared with Gal high-dose group,the levels of MAP,24-hour urinary protein,BUN,IL-6,IL-1β,TNF-α,the CD8+T cells,and the expression levels of IL-6 and p-STAT3/STAT3 proteins in activator group were obviously increased,the placenta tissue was aggravated,the mean offspring number and mean offspring weight,the proportions of CD3+T,CD4+T and CD4+/CD8+T cells were decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Gal may play a role in alleviating PE symptoms and improving pregnancy outcomes by inhibit-ing the IL-6/STAT3 pathway,inhibiting inflammatory reactions,and regulating cellular immunity.
