Objective To discuss the clinical value of simultaneous morcellation in situ in laparoscopic myomectomy (LM). Methods One hundred and eighty-nine women who underwent LM for symptomatic myomas were randomly divided into in situ group(94 cases) and standard group(95 cases). The operation time, hemorrhage perioperative,exhaust time postoperative, length of hospital stay were compared.Results The operation was successful in two groups. The operation time and hemorrhage perioperative in situ group were significantly less than those in standard group [ (98.20 ± 40.70) min vs. ( 129.20 ± 68.50)min (P＜0.05) and (113.40± 38.30) ml vs. (168.90±61.70) ml (P＜0.01)]. There was no statistical difference in exhaust time postoperative, length of hospital stay between two groups (P ＞0.05). One case occurred eechymoma in two groups respectively. Conclusion The application of simultaneous morcellation in situ in LM is safe and feasible.

Objective To explore the change of serum Apelin level and its relationship with insulin resistance (IR) in infertility patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Methods Ninety-eight infertility patients with PCOS (PCOS group) and 72 infertility patients without PCOS (non-PCOS group) visiting our hospital for the first time from January 2011 to June 2012 were selected. The BMI , serum Apelin level (detected by ELISA), fasting blood glucose (FPG, detected by glucose oxidase method), fasting insulin (Fins, detected by chemiluminescence), and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) of the two groups were detected. Results The serum Apelin level and HOMA-IR in PCOS patients were higher than those in non-PCOS patients (3.28 ± 1.24 vs. 1.94 ± 0.78, P < 0.05; 3.84 ± 1.23 vs. 2.14 ± 0.77,P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum Apelin level was positively correlated with HOMA-IR in PCOS patients (r=0.65, P<0.01). Conclusions The serum Apelin level in infertility patients with PCOS increased evidently, and was positively correlated with HOMA-IR; which indicated that Apelin may involve in the development of IR in infertility patients with PCOS.
