Obesity increases the risk of ovarian cancer,and it is associated with the poor prognosis of ovarian cancer.Its pathogenic mechanism may be associated with the increased level of serum estrogen,insulin and insulin-like growth factors-1 induced by obesity and a variety of adipocytokines,which has an impact on the therapeutic result and prognosis of ovarian cancer.Maintaining a proper weight may prevent the development of ovarian cancer.

Objective To explore the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Shuangwu numbness-relief decoction. Methods The anti-inflammatory effect was assessed by xylene-induced mouse auricular swelling and peritoneal capillary permeability;and the analgesic effect was assessed by hot plate method and acetic acid-induced twisting method. Results Shuangwu numbness-relief decoction at moderate or high dose had a significant inhibitory effect on mouse auricular swelling, with a significant difference as compared with the control group (P<0.01);the decoction at low , moderate , or high dose group played a marked inhibitory role in the increase in mouse peritoneal capillary permeability (P<0.01). Shuangwu numbness-relief decoction at moderate or high dose effectively reduced the writhing frequency in mice (P < 0.01). The decoction at high dose increased the pain threshold in mice one hour after intragastric administration (P < 0.05), and the decoction at moderate or high dose increased the pain threshold two hours after administration (P < 0.05). Conclusions Shuangwu numbness-relief decoction has an obvious anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

Objective To investigate Monilia infection and adverse pregnancy outcomes of pregnant women in labor.Methods Before informed consent,542 cases of pregnant women in labor were collected in Obstetrics Department of Maternity and Child Healthcare of Maoming City from January 2013 to April 2014,and all of these cases were examined by Monilia inspec-tion of vaginal secretions.All of these cases were 20 to 30 years old,without vaginal pathogenic infection symptoms,but in-cluded in a few of formulation of clinical features of vaginal Candida infection.With the two methods of 10% potassium hy-droxide solution wet sheet and Gram staining,if blastospore or pseudohypha of Candida mycoderma were found out in the two methods under microscope,this case was diagnosed as positive result,otherwise as negative result.Respectively choosing positive cases as observation group,and negative cases as control group,the indexes of premature rupture of membranes,per-ineum wound infection,neonatal thrush and neonatal diaper rash of the two groups were recorded.The statistical method:e-numeration data by chi-square test,measurement data using analysis of varianc.Results The positive rate of Monilia was 23.1% (125/542),higher than 19.3% reported in domestic.The incidence rates of neonatal diaper rash,premature rupture of membranes,neonatal thrush and perineum wound infection of the observation group were respectively 19.2%,8.0%, 16.8% and 12.8%,all much higher than the control group respectively was 8.4%,1.2%,3.8% and 1.7%,(χ2 =12.578~29.273,all P <0.01).Conclusion Monilia infection of pregnant women in labor could increase the chance of adverse preg-nancy outcomes.Healthy or clinical doctors should suggest that pregnant women early carry out routine examination and ear-ly treatment,in order to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective To observe the anti-tumor effects of Agrimonia Pilosa Ledeb(APL) ,a Chinese herbal medicine ,on hepato-cellular carcinoma cells in vitro and investigate the underlined mechanisms preliminarily .Methods APL water extracts were pre-pared .SMMC-7721 cells were cultured with the medium containing different concentrations of APL water extracts ,and at different time points ,cell viabilities were measured by the MTT assay and inhibitory rates (IR) were calculated ;cell morphologic changes were observed under a light microscope ;apoptotic ratios were measured by flow cytometry ;and the expressions of Bcl-2 and P53 proteins were examined by immunocytochemistry .Results After the cells were cultured with the medium containing APL water ex-tracts for 24 h ,48 h and 72 h ,no obvious effects were found on the cell proliferation in 5 mg/mL group and 10 mg/mL group ,but IR were 0 .5% ,23 .9% and 27 .5% in 20 mg/mL group and 23 .3% ,51 .7% and 71 .6% in the 40 mg/mL group ,respectively .In the groups with effects on the cells proliferation ,morphological characteristics of apoptosis were obvious ,and the cell apoptotic ratios were 19 .5% and 23 .0% in 20 mg/mL group and 33 .4% and 42 .7% in 40 mg/mL group at 48 h and 72 h .The expressions of Bcl-2 protein were 71 .9% and 58 .5% in 20 mg/mL group and 47 .9% and 26 .5% in 40 mg/mL group at 48 h and 72 h ,and the ex-pressions of P53 protein were 22 .9% and 50 .6% in 20 mg/mL group and 48 .7% and 83 .7% in 40 mg/mL group at 48 h and 72 h . Conclusion The water extracts of APL are able to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis of SMMC-7721 cells dose-time depend-ently in vitro ,which might be associated with the expression changes of Bcl-2 and P53 protein .

Objective To explore the scanning technology of head-neck-coronaryone-stop-shopCT angiography using 256-slice iCT and complete image quality analysis.Methods 106 consecutive patients underwent 256-slice iCT head-neck-coronaryone-stop-shop CT angiography.According to the average heart rate,patients were divided into three groups,the 1ow heart rate group with the average heart rate ranged from 40 to 60,medium heart rate group with heart rate from 60 to 80 beats per minute and high heart rate group with heart rate more than 80 beats per minute.The volume rendering (VR),maximum intensity projection (MIP), multi-planar reformation (MPR)and curved planar reconstruction (CPR)were employed for three-dimensional reconstruction after the original image reached to the iCT post-processing workstation.The image quality of head-neck artery and coronary artery were assessed by two senior radiologists individually .Results The image quality scores in the three groups show statistic significance (F=14.886 , P =0.000).The difference between low heart rate group and medium heart rate group show statistic significance (P =0.031).The difference between low heart rate group and high heart rate group was statistical significant (P = 0.026 ).There was no statistic difference between medium heart rate group and high heart group.The excellent rates of coronary artery image quality reached to 100%,96.6%,92.6% in low,medium and high heart rate group respectively.The rates of excellent about head-neck vascular im-age quality in the three groups reached to 100%.Conclusion 256-slice iCT head-neck-coronaryone-stop-shopCT angiography can obtain satisfactory image.The image quality does not decrease in patients with high heat rate.
