The term "a green hospital", meaning "a safe, dependable and harmless hospital", epitomizes the harmony between the hospital's intrinsic quality and extrinsic surroundings. Thus, the construction of a green hospital possesses rich connotations, viz. powerful guarantee, of medical safety, dependable guarantee of quality, delivery of civilized services and harmonious doctor-patient relationship, and comfortable and humanized surroundings for medical care. It is imperative to formulate comprehensive assessment standards for green hospitals or incorporate such standards into the conditions for hospital appraisal so as to render the idea of green hospital a target of hospital development.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of anticoagulant proteins defect in patients with unexplained miscarriage. Methods Fifty-seven patients with a history of unexplained abortion in Peking union hospital during may. 1999 to April 2000. were tested for protein S, protein C, and antithrombin(AT)Ⅲ, activated protein C resistance(APC-R).The control group consisted of 50 healthy women with a history of normal pregnancy and delivery. Blood samples were taken for measuring protein S, protein C, AT-Ⅲ and APC-R. Patients with APC-R positive were measured for FV Leiden gene mutation by PCR-RFLP method. Results Of the 57 patients, there were 21.1%?1.8% and 8.8% with protein S?protein C and AT-Ⅲ deficiency respectively. For APC-R 22.8% of the 57 patients were positive .In control group, 4.0% were protein S deficiency; None was protein C and AT-Ⅲ deficiency ; 6.0% were positive for APC-R .No FV Leiden gene mutation was found in all the patients with APC-R positive .The incidence of anticoagulant proteins defect is higher in late spontaneous abortion group than that in early abortion group. Conclusions This study demonstrate that anticoagulant protein defects may be associated with pregnancy loss, especially the late spontaneous abortion.

Objective　To evaluate the ability of a risk of malignancy index (RMI), based on a serum CA125 level, ultrasound findings and menopausal status,to discriminate a benign from a malignant pelvic mass. Methods　One hundred and forty women with a pelvic mass, 30 years or older,admitted between January 1998 and June 1999, were studied. The sensitivity,specificity and positive predictive value of serum CA125 level, ultrasound findings and the menopausal status separately and combined into the RMI,to diagnose ovarian cancer. Results　RMI was more accurate than any individual criterion in diagnosing cancer. Using a RMI cut-off level of 200 to indicate malignancy, the RMI derived from this data set gave a sensitivity of 87.3%, specificity of 84.4%, and positive predictive value of 82.1%. Conclusions　RMI is able to correctly discriminate between malignant and benign pelvic mass. It can be introduced easily into clinical practice to facilitate the selection of patients for primary surgery.

Objective To compare and analyse the elective and emergency hysterectomies in obstetric practice. Meth odsA retrospective study was performed to compare elective versus emergency cesarean hysterectomies in PUMC Hos pital from January 1969 to December 1998.ResultsObstetric hysterectomies were performed on 36 patients over 30 years out of 33207 deliveries. 26 emergency cesarean hysterectomies and 10 elective hysterectomies had been done. Pla cental disorder was the main indication of emergency hysterectomy. The perinatal mortality of newborn was 179.5‰. ConclusionObstetric hysterectomy has been proved to be one of the most useful life- saving procedure for patients with postpartum hemorrhage, especially at the time of cesarean section, particularly for patients with a history of benign or malignant gynecologic tumor or irregular vaginal bleeding before pregnancy.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinical characteristics of fertility and pregnancy in women with congenital uterine malformations and explore optimal treatments to improve the prognosis.

METHODSA retrospective study was conducted on the fertility and obstetric outcome in 153 patients with uterine malformations treated in our hospital from January 1984 to December 1998. Twenty-seven cases with other kinds of genital and/or urinary anomalies but with normal uterus during the same period were enrolled as the control group.

RESULTSThe infertility rate was 26.6% (34/128), the miscarriage rate 44.3% (86/194), premature birth rate 9.3% (18/194), abnormal fetal presentation rate 28.4% (29/102), the cesarean section rate 61.8% (63/102), and the perinatal mortality rate 11.8% (12/102).

CONCLUSIONWomen with congenital uterine malformation usually have higher incidence of infertility and complications during pregnancy and delivery. Bicornuate and septate uterus can be associated with poor obstetric outcome.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the ability of a risk of malignancy index (RMI), based on serum CA125 level, ultrasound findings and menopausal status, to discriminate benign from malignant pelvic mass.

METHODSOne hundred and forty women with pelvic masses, at age 30 of years or more were admitted to the Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 1998 and June 1999. The sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value of serum CA125 level, ultrasound findings and the menopausal status in diagnosis of ovarian cancer were evaluated separately or combined into the RMI.

RESULTSRMI was more accurate than any individual criterion in diagnosing cancer. Using an RMI cutoff level of 200 to indicate malignancy, the RMI derived from this data set gave a sensitivity of 87.3%, a specificity of 84.4%, and a positive predictive value of 82.1%.

CONCLUSIONSRMI is able to correctly discriminate malignant from benign pelvic mass. It can be introduced easily into clinical practice to facilitate the selection of patients for primary surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation in locally advanced neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) .Methods:This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. Locally advanced NECC patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Acadmy of Medical Sciences from January 2011 to April 2022 were enrolled. They were divided into concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, and surgery combined with chemotherapy and radiation group. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), recurrence rate, and mortality rate.Results:(1) Forty-six cases were included, 22 in concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, 24 in surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group. With 16 patients (35%, 16/46) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), the NACT effective rate was 15/16. (2) The median follow-up time was 27.5 months (range: 10-106 months), with 26 (57%, 26/46) experienced recurrences. There were 4 (9%, 4/46) pelvic recurrences and 25 (54%, 25/46) distant recurrences, and 3 (7%, 3/46) both pelvic and distant recurrences. Compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group had lower pelvic recurrence rate [14% (3/22) vs 4% (1/24); χ2=1.296, P=0.255] but without statistic difference. Both groups had similar distant recurrence rate [55% (12/22) vs 54% (13/24); χ2=0.001, P=0.979] and overall recurrence rate [59% (13/22) vs 54% (13/24); χ2=0.113, P=0.736]. (3) During the follow-up period, 22 cases (48%, 22/46) died, with 11 cases (50%, 11/22) in concurrent chemoradiotherapy group and 11 cases (46%, 11/24) in surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group, without significant difference ( χ2=0.080, P=0.777). The postoperative 3-year and 5-year OS rates were 62.3% and 36.9%. Compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, the patients in surgery combined chemotherapy and radiation group showed an extended trend in PFS (17.0 vs 32.0 months) and OS (37.0 vs 50.0 months) but without statistic differences ( P=0.287, P=0.125). Both groups had similar 3-year OS rate (54.2% vs 69.9%; P=0.138) and 5-year OS rate (36.1% vs 38.8%; P=0.217). Conclusions:Our study supports the multi-modality treatment strategy (including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation) as an important component in the treatment of locally advanced NECC. The combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation seems to have advantages in the treatment of locally advanced NECC, but needs to be confirmed by further multicenter studies.

Objective: To evaluate the value of super microvascular imaging(SMI) for evaluating the effect of interventional therapy of liver cancer. Methods: A total of 30 patients with 40 leisions were enrolled in this study, from the tumor intervention department in the third affiliated hospital of suzhou university.This patients were underwent TACE, after the treatment 1 month, CDFI, SMI, and CT were study respectively. Using the continuity correction McNemar matching chi-square test, with P < 0.05 for the standard , CDFI and SMI shows the difference in monitoring the microvascular imaging in and around the tumors leisions. Results: A total of 30 patients, 12 cases were primary liver cancer (7 cases combined with liver cirrhosis), 18cases were metastatic liver cancer; 30 cases including 25 single and 5 multiple. Significant difference were found between CT and SMI in detecting blood flows inside the lesion (χ² = 8.642 9, P < 0.05), and were also found between CT and CDFI in detecting blood flows inside the lesion (χ² = 16.961 5, P < 0.05). The AUROC, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV of CDFI were 0.647, 29.4%、100%、29.4%、100%、20.0%, while in SMI were 0.809, 61.8%、100%、61.7%、100%、31.5%, respectively. Conclusions SMI SMI can detect the microvascular inside the lesions. This new method was superior to CDFI, achieving the same effect as CT.
