Objective To investigate the risk factors for ovarian metastasis and the possibility of ovarian preservation in patients with endometrial carcinoma.Methods The clinicopathological features of endometrial carcinoma patients who were diagnosed and treated initially with a surgical staging procedure from Jan 1997 to Dec 2006 in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed.Results Of the 638 cases reviewed,36(5.6%,36/638)had ovarian metastasis.Univariate analysis revealed that histological type and grade,myometrial invasion,positive peritoneal fluid cytology,pelvic lymph node metastasis,invasion of parauterine,para-aortic node metastasis and invasion of uterine serosa were significantly associated with ovarian metastasis(P＜0.05);while age,lymph-vascular invasion and cervical invasion wen not significantly associated with ovarian metastasis(P＞0.05). Factors predictive of ovarian metastasis by multivariate analysis were ranked as follows according to risk intensity:pelvic lymph node metastasis,positive peritoneal cytology,and histological grade.Conclusion In young patients with grode 1 endometrioid carcinoma,with no pelvic lymph node metastasis,no para-aortic lymph node metastasis,no myometrial invasion and with negative peritoneal fluid cytology,ovarian preservation could be considered.

Objective To observe the effects of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ (IGF-Ⅰ) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) on the expressions of sodium iodide symporter(NIS) and pendrin mRNA in a placental villous trophoblast cell line(HPT-8) exposed to different levels of iodine.Methods HPT-8 cells were cultured in vitro in the culture flask and divided into low iodine group-Ⅰ (LI-Ⅰ),low iodine group-Ⅱ (LI-Ⅱ),control group,high iodine group-Ⅰ (HI-Ⅰ) and high iodine group-Ⅱ (HI-Ⅱ) that exposed to different concentrations of iodine (0,5,50,500,5000 μg/L).After cell cultured for 24 h,the followings were added to the culture medium:iodine plus IGF-Ⅰ(0.050 mg/L),iodine plus TGF-β1 (0.001 mg/L).After cultured for another 24 h,total RNA was extracted,the expressions of NIS and pendrin mRNA of HPT-8 cells were determined by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The expression of NIS mRNA in HPT-8 cells:at different levels of iodine,the differences of NIS mRNA expression between groups were statistically significant in group with iodine alone(F =3.612,P ＜ 0.01).The expression of NIS mRNA in LI-Ⅰ group(0.44 ± 0.21) was significantly lower than that of control group(1.25 ± 0.77,P＜ 0.01).At the same level of iodine,in LI-Ⅰ group and HI-Ⅰ group,the differences of NIS mRNA expression within groups were statistically significant (F =13.632,6.900,all P ＜ 0.01).In LI-Ⅰ group,the expressions of NIS mRNA were higher in iodine plus IGF-Ⅰ(1.13 ± 0.38) and iodine plus TGF-β1 (0.81 ± 0.34) than that of pure iodine(0.44 ± 0.21,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05);in HI-Ⅰ group,the expression of NIS mRNA was lower in iodine plus TGF-β1 (0.62 ± 0.30) than that of pure iodine(1.23 ± 0.91,P ＜ 0.01).The expression of pendrin mRNA in HPT-8 cells:at different levels of iodine,the differences of pendrin mRNA expression between groups were statistically significant in group with iodine alone(F =12.717,P ＜ 0.01).The expression of pendrin mRNA in LI-Ⅰ group(0.59 ± 0.15) was significantly lower than that of control group(1.03 ± 0.14,P ＜ 0.01) ; HI-Ⅰ group(1.29 ± 0.31) was higher than control group(P ＜ 0.05).At the same level of iodine,the differences of pendrin mRNA expression within groups were statistically significant in LI-Ⅰ,LI-Ⅱ,control and HI-Ⅰ groups (F=12.588,4.588,8.679,8.445,all P ＜ 0.01).In LI-Ⅰ,LI-Ⅱ and control groups,the expressions of pendrin mRNA were significantly higher in iodine plus IGF-Ⅰ(1.68 ± 0.82,1.51 ± 0.79,1.50 ± 0.51) than that of pure iodine(0.59 ± 0.15,0.89 ± 0.22,1.03 ± 0.14,all P ＜ 0.01); in HI-Ⅰ group,the expression of pendrin mRNA was significantly lower in iodine plus TGF-β1 (0.78 ± 0.20) than that of pure iodine(1.29 ± 0.31,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions In the case of iodine deficiency,the mRNA expressions of NIS and pendrin in HPT-8 cells are decreased and the iodine uptake ability is decreased; the expression of pendrin mRNA in HPT-8 cells is increased and placental iodine uptake is increased under the conditions of mild iodine excessive.IGF-Ⅰ and TGF-β1 play a role in the placental iodine uptake through increasing iodine uptake under the conditions of iodine deficiency and decreasing iodine uptake under the conditions of iodine excessive.

Objective To compare the clinical effects and side events between simple synchronal radiochemotherapy(group A) and cervical local implantation chemotherapy combined with synchronal radiochemotherapy(group B) in advanced cervical cancer.Methods Sixty patients with primary cervical cancer,admitted to our hospital from January 2009 to December 2009,were enrolled into the study.The clinical staging of these patients ranged from Ⅱb to Ⅲb.The patients were randomly divided into two different therapy groups.In group A,patients received external irradiation by X-rays and intracavitary by 192 Ir and PT chemotherapy(n=30).In group B,patients received cervical local implantation of fluorouracil palliative 400-500 mg in addition of external irradiation by X-rays and intracavitary by 192 Ir and PT chemotherapy(n=30).The short-term effect and complications were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rate of group A was significantly higher than the second group(97% vs.80%,x2=4.706,P＜ 0.05).The most common complication was myelosuppression.In group A we observed 8 cases had grade Ⅰ,10 cases had grade II,9 cases had grade Ⅲ,3 cases had grade Ⅳ myelosuppression.In group B we observed 8 cases had grade Ⅰ,12 cases had grade Ⅱ,7 cases had grade Ⅲ,3 cases had grade Ⅳ myelosuppression.There were no significantly differences in the comparisons of this complication between the two groups(x2=0.432,P＞0.05).Conclusion The cervical local implantation chemotherapy combined with synchronal radiochemotherapy might improve the prognosis in advanced cervical cancer patients without increasing toxic side effects.

Objective:To verify the determination method of iodine in serum by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and to evaluate the consistency between ICP-MS and As 3+-Ce 4+ catalytic spectrophotometry in determination of serum iodine. Methods:Serum iodine concentration was determined by ICP-MS, 187Re was used as an internal standard, and ralated parameters were optimized. Eighty-eight serum samples were simultaneously determined by ICP-MS and As 3+-Ce 4+ catalytic spectrophotometry, and the evaluation indexes included determination range of standard curve, detection limit, precision, accuracy. In addition, we also evaluated the consistency of the two methods through inter-group correlation analysis, intra-group correlation coefficient analysis, Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analysis. Results:The linear range of ICP-MS standard curve was 0 - 300 μg/L. There was a good linear correlation between iodine concentration value and iodine response value, and the correlation coefficient range was 0.999 8 to 0.999 9. The detection limit of the ICP-MS method was 1.96 μg/L. The relative standard deviation ( RSD) ranged from 0.2% to 1.4% and from 0.4% to 1.8% for intra and inter-batch precision tests of serum samples. The recovery rate ranged from 90.44% to 108.71%. The correlation analysis of 88 serum samples showed that there was a good correlation between the two methods ( r = 0.934, P < 0.05), and the intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.932. The results of Passing-Bablok regression showed that there was no significant difference between the two methods ( P > 0.05). Bland-Altman diagram suggested that the results of the two methods were consistent. Conclusions:ICP-MS method has low detection limit, high precision and accuracy. ICP-MS method is simple, rapid, easy and suitable for determination of iodine in large quantities of serum samples. The results of the two methods for determining serum iodine are consistent.

Objective To observe prolactin (PRL) and estradiol (E2) levels in lactating women in different iodine nutrition areas.Methods According to the recent national water-borne high iodine area survey and the monitoring results of iodine deficiency disorders,the following places were selected,including Nankang,Xinggang and Yingpan towns of Beihai City,Guangxi (water iodine ≤ 10 μg/L,low iodine areas),Yangcheng Township and Jiajiazhuang Township of Fenyang City,Shanxi (water iodine 50-100 μg/L,adaptive iodine areas),Pingyao County and Jicun Town of Fenyang City,Shanxi (water iodine ≥300 μg/L,high iodine areas),and urinary and blood samples were collected in lactating women (n =100,97,123) from the three regions.The urinary iodine concentration was tested by arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Serum levels of PRL and E2 were determined by chemiluminescence immunoassay.Results The urinary iodine medians of lactating women were 51.42,283.62,842.31 μg/L,respectively,in the three regions,the difference between the regions was statistically significant (x2 =241.09,P ＜ 0.05);the iodine levels of lactating women in low iodine areas,adaptive iodine areas and high iodine areas were in the state of iodine deficiency (＜ 100 μg/L),sufficient or adequate (200-299 μg/L) and iodine excess status (≥ 300 μg/L),respectively.Serum PRL and E2 levels of lactating women in the three types of areas were 38.81,20.98,16.41 μg/L and 29.57,43.70,45.51 ng/L,respectively.The differences between the regions were statistically significant (x2 =41.54,24.03,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion With the increase of iodine nutrition level,PRL in lactating women has presented a gradually decreasing trend,E2 is increased.

Objective:To understand the pathogen distribution of children with influenza in North China in the past 2018-2019 years, and compare the accuracy of influenza virus antigen test results with that of influenza virus nucleic acid test results, provide reference data for clinical use good influenza virus pathogen detection methods.Methods:Five hundred and eighty throat swab samples of influenza-like children in 10 hospitals, northern China, were collected from December 2018 to January 2019.Each sample was tested by rapid influenza diagnostic test and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results:Of all 580 clinical samples, 256 positive samples (256/580 cases, 44.14%)were detected by the influenza rapid influenza diagnostic test, of which 235 were pure influenza A(235/256 cases, 91.8%), 21 cases were pave influenza B(21/256 cases, 8.2%), and 324 case were negative samples(324/580 cases, 55.86%). No cases were detected positive A and B at the same time.Of all 580 samples were detected using the A /B influenza virus RT-PCR, and a total of 353 cases(353/580 cases, 60.9%) were positive (of which 242 cases were influenza virus antigen-positive), of which 311 were pure A influenza(311/353 cases, 88.1%) and 41 were pure B influenza(41/353 cases, 11.6%), 1 case of mixed infection of A and B(1/353 cases, 0.3%), and 227 cases were negative(227/580 cases, 39.1%). In 324 cases of influenza virus antigen negative samples, 111 cases(111/324 cases, 34.3%) were positive for influenza virus nucleic acid.The detection rate of influenza A in Taiyuan was 23.2% (22/95 cases), and the detection rate of influenza B was 43.2% (41/95 cases), which was significantly different from other regions.With reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction detection as the standard, the diagnostic value of influenza pathogen detection reagents was evaluated.The sensitivity, specificity, missed diagnosis rate, misdiagnosis rate, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, Youden index and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 68.56%, 93.83%, 31.44%, 6.17%, 94.53%, 65.74%, 11.12, 0.335, 0.624 and 0.812.Conclusions:From December 2018 to January 2019, the majority of children′s influenza in northern China is influenza A virus.Except Taiyuan which is dominated by influenza B. Influenza virus nucleic acid detection has high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing influenza, and also has the ability to distinguish virus subtypes.Influenza virus antigen detection has a certain diagnostic value, a good specificity (93.83%), sensitivity (68.56%) which needs to be further improved, and a certain rate of missed diagnosis (31.44%) needs to be paid attention to possible missed diagnosis.Detecting positive cases of influenza virus antigens should be given a fast and effective anti-viral treatment, while the negative cases, especially those at high risk for influenza complications, should be confirmed influenza virus RT-PCR as soon as practical.
