Objective To investigate the relationship between Toxoplasma gondii(TOX)infection and abnormal pregnancy outcomes. Methods A total of 126 cases of abnormal pregnancy women in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the Fourth People’s Hospital of Langfang from March to December 2013 were chosen as an experimental group,and 263 cases of normal pregnancy women of childbearing age as a control group. The TOX-IgM and-IgG antibodies were detected by ELISA. The data in the two groups were processed and analyzed by SPSS13.0. Results The positive rates of TOX-IgM,-IgG in 126 cases of abnormal pregnancy women were 7.94%and 19.84%respectively,and 1.90%and 8.75%in the control group respectively,and there were significant differences between them(χ2IgM=6.82,χ2IgG=9.70,both P<0.01). The positive rates of TOX-IgM,-IgG in the normal pregnancy women were lower than those in 4 sub-groups of abnormal pregnancy women,and all the differences were statistically significant(χ2spontaneous abortion = 10.40,χ2premature delivery = 9.03,χ2embryo damage =4.32,χ2birth defect = 4.04,all P<0.05). However,the TOX-IgM,-IgG positive rates in the 4 sub-groups of abnormal pregnancy women had no statistically signifi-cant difference(P > 0.05). Conclusions TOX infection could cause serious abnormal pregnancy outcomes. Therefore,the comprehensive control measures should be strengthened.

Objection To study the effect of letrozole on EM rat models and influence on the reproductive system. Methods Surgically transplanted autologous uterine tissues to ectopic site beside the uterines in rats were used as animal models to study endometriosis. 20 EM model rats were random divided into letrozole-treated group and saline solution-treated control group. The change of ectopic lesion volume in each group was compared before and after treatment. Apoptotic cells were assessed by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated deoxy-UTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) assay, and the uterian horn and ovary were weighted and observed by optical microscopy to study the change of morphology. Results The volumes of the endometriotic tissues of letrozole group reduced more than that in control group[ ( 28. 75 ± 2.28 )mm3 vs ( 108.39 ±9. 98)mm3, P <0.01 ]. The apoptotic rate in letrozole group [ (5.52 ±2. 81 )% ]was higher than control group[ (2.11 ± 1.70)%, P <0. 01 ]. The ovarian weights in letrozole-treated group increased significantly[ (25.25 ± 9. 89) mg/100g vs ( 13. 10 ± 2. 70 ) mg/100g, P < 0. 01 ], arid the ovaries showed polycyst. The uterian weights in letrozole-treated group[ (41.46 ± 15.81 ) mg/100g vs (94. 81 ±18.00) mg/100g, P <0. 05 ] significantly decreased, and the endometriums presented atrophy. Conclusion Letrozole treated EM by means of increasing the apoptosis of the ectopic tissues. Letrozole would give ovarian over stimulating and the uterian weighting decreased as well as endometriums atrophy.

The clinical probation of medical students in the clinics of gynecology and obstetrics is significant. However, because of the disease involving in female genital system, clinical clerkship teaching in obstetrics and gynecology faces actual problems such as poor cases, low cooperation of the patients and the risk of offending the privacy of patients. During the period of clinical novitiate, two or three teaching clinics were established by experienced clinical teachers, and the patients for the teach-ing were recruited by a series of incentives, such as exempt registration fee, prior doctors' office visit-ing, preferential examine, appointing well-known experts and advanced hospital admission and so on. And the teaching was preceded after the patients' informed consents. As results, the cooperation of the patients was obviously improved, and case selection was made easy, and the outpatient clinic probation teaching level of obstetrics and gynecologyn was raised.

Objective To construct the lentiviral RNA interference vector targeting TPX2 and to obtain the human cervical cancer HeLa cell strain stably infected by TPX2-shRNA for studying the relationship between human cervical carcinoma and TPX2 gene.Methods By targeting TPX2 gene,four double-stranded DNA hairpin structures corresponding to shRNA were designed,synthesized and connected with Pglv2-U6-Puro to construct the recombinant plasmids.Then these recombinant plasmids were transformed into DH5α competent cells.The positive clone was extracted and transfected into 293T cells for virus packages after sequenced correctly.Human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell infected by these recombinant lentiviral was screened by Puromycin,then stable cell strain was obtained.The silencing effect of TPX2 in HeLa cell was detected by RT-fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot.Cell cycle and cell apoptosis wer detected by Flow cytometry.Results Sequencing results confirmed that 5 lentiviral was packaged successfully.The steady cell strain transfered TPX2-shRNA was screened with 0.4 μg/mL puromycin.HeLa cells infected by recombinant lentivirus all play the gene silencing effect especially in the group of TPX2-shRNA-1.In the group of TPX2-shRNA-1,TPX2mRNA (0.21 ± 0.07) and protein (0.19 ± 0.28) rela tive expression level is lower than those in the control group (1.08±0.07) (P＜0.01) and(0.64±0.03) (P＜ 0.01)respectively;G2 and S-phase cells are higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05)and the apoptosis rate was significantly more than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusions The effective TPX2 genetic interference sequence was obtained,lentiviral vectors carrying TPX2shRNA was successfully constructed,and the HeLa cell strain with TPX2 silenced was successfully screened,which lay the research foundation for the study of the role of TPX2 in cervical cancer.

Objective To identify and analyze the species of vaginal lactobacilli between patients with bacterial vaginosis (BV) and healthy women at childbearing age in Inner Mongolia. Methods From Jun. 2008 to Dec. 2008, 203 Mongolian healthy women, 74 Han healthy women and 102 Mongolian patients with BV from 3 pastoral areas were enrolled in this study. Isolation and culture of lactobacilli from vaginal wall were performed by modified culture medium. DNA of lactobacilli were extracted and sequenced. H2O2 were detected by TMB-HRP-MRS. Results(1)The rate of lactobacilli identification were 76.8%(156/203) in Mongolian healthy women and 21.6% (22/102) in Mongolian patients with BV, which reached statistical difference(P＜0.01).Lactobacilli identification in Han healthy women [82.4%(61/74)] did not show significant difference with that of Mongolian healthy women (P＞0.05). (2) The total of 193 strains and 11 species of Lactobacillus were detected in 203 Mongolian healthy women. Meanwhile,22 strains and 4 species of Lactobacillus were found in 102 Mongolian BV cases.(3)The rate of H2O2 generating Lactobacilli was 27.3% (6/22) in Mongolian BV patients and 75.7% (56/74)in Mongolian healthy women, which showed statistical difference(P＜0.05). Conclusions The rate of Lactobacillus was not related with the race of women in pastoral area in Inner Mongolian. The amount of lactobacilli and H2O2 generating Lactobacilli in the vagina of BV patients was remarkably lower than those of healthy women at childbearing age.

Research on novel pullulanase has major significance on the domestic industrialization of pullulanase and the breakdown of foreign monopoly. A thermophilic bacteria LM 18-11 producing thermostable pullulanase was isolated from Lunma hot springs of Yunnan province. It was identified as Anoxybacillus sp. by 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis. Full-length pullulanase gene was cloned from Anoxybacillus sp. LM18-11. The optimum temperature of the pullulanase was between 55 and 60 degrees C with a half-life as long as 48 h at 60 degrees C; and its optimum pH was between 5.6 and 6.4. V(max) and K(m) of the pullulanase was measured as 750 U/mg and 1.47 mg/mL, which is the highest specific activity reported so far. The pullulanase crystals structure showed a typical alpha-amylase family structure. The N-terminal has a special substrate binding domain. Activity and substrate binding were decreased when the domain was deleted, the V(max) and K(m) were 324 U/mg and 1.95 mg/mL, respectively. The pullulanase was highly heterologous expressed in Bacillus subtilis by P43 promoter. The extracellular enzyme activity was 42 U/mL, which increased more than 40 times compared to the initial strain. This pullulanase has good application prospects.

Objective To compare the curative effect of laparoscopic and laparotomic operation for elderly Chinese women with cervical cancer. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCT) and case controlled trials (CCT) were collected by searches of WanFang database, CNKI, VIP, China Biology Medicine (CBM) , PubMed. Data were extracted from these trials and data analysis was performed by RevMan 5.2.9. Results There were no RCTs, however, a total of 10 CCTs met the inclusion criteria and had data extracted for this review. The baseline characteristics of the laparoscopic group were similar to those of the laparotomic group. Comparing to laparotomic group, the laparoscopic group have longer operation time (MD =32.60, 95%CI: 5.65~59.55, P = 0.020), less amount of bleeding (MD = -94.01, 95%CI: -130.65 ~ -57.37, P = 0.000), smaller number of lymph node dissection(MD = 1.69, 95%CI: 0.67 ~ 2.72, P = 0.001), earlier anus exhaustion (MD=-17.09, 95%CI: -21.19 ~ -12.98, P = 0.000) and shorter hospital stays (MD = -4.30, 95%CI: -5.57 ~ -3.02, P = 0.000). There was significant difference between the two groups. But there was no statistical significance in postoperative indwelling catheter time (MD = -0.67, 95%CI: -1.92 ~ 0.58, P = 0.290) and surgical complications incidence (OR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.27 ~ 1.42, P = 0.260) between the two groups. Conclusion Laparoscopic management has the advantages of less traumatic and recovered quickly, and did not increase the incidence of complications. Laparoscopic operation is an ideal procedure for elderly Chinese women with cervical carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the method of primary culture for endometriotic cells and to find out the differences in morphological manifestations among endometriotic cells and eutopic endometrial cells sampled from patients with endometriosis and endometriosis-free women. METHODS: Endometriotic and eutopic endometrial cells were cultured by modified method of primary culture. The endometriotic cell types were observed and differentiated under optical and electron microscopes. RESULTS: The success rates for culture of eutopic endometrial cells from endometriosis-free women and patients with endometriosis were 91.67% and 93.75% respectively. The success rate for culture of endometriotic cells was 75.00%. The size of endometriotic glandular cells was similar to those of eutopic endometrial glandular cells from endometriosis-free women and patients with endometriosis. The chromatin was manifold and the nucleus was augmented in the endometriotic glandular cells. The endometriotic stromal cells were smaller than the eutopic endometrial stromal cells from endometriosis-free women and patients with endometriosis. Many tiny villi and protuberances on plasma membrane could be seen in the endometriotic stromal cells. CONCLUSION: The success rate for culture of endometriotic cells can be elevated through improving the method of primary culture. The ultrastructures of endometriotic glandular and stromal cells are obviously different from those of eutopic endometrial glandular and stromal cells from endometriosis-free women and patients with endometriosis.
