Objective To investigate the causes and outcome of different treatment methods of iatrogenic rectovaginal fistula. Methods Clinical data of 52 patients with iatrogenic rectovaginal fistula were analyzed retrospectively. Results Twenty-two fistulae occurred after gynecological operation (42.3%), fourteen after obstetric injury (26.9%), thirteen after colorectal operation (25.0%) and three due to miscellaneous causes (5.8%). The fistulae were located in the lower rectum in 27 cases(51.9%), mid rectum in 10 cases(19.2%) and upper rectum in 15 cases(28.9%). They were treated by non-surgical treatment in 9 cases(17.3%), permanent diverting stoma(loop transverse colostomy) in 8 cases(15.4%), and surgical repair by various approaches in 35 cases(67.3%). The fistulae of all nine patients who received non-surgical treatment failed to heal. Eight patients who received permanent diverting stoma had symptomatic improvement without fistula healing. The overall cure rate of surgical repairs in 35 cases was 77.1%(27/35). The cure rates of trans-sphincteric (Mason′s operation), transanal, transabdominal, transperineal and transvaginal approaches were 100%(8/8), 100%(2/2), 83.3%(5/6), 0%(0/1) and 66.7%(12/18), respectively. The cure rate of Mason′s operation for the mid and lower rectovaginal fistulae was higher than that of transvaginal approach (100% vs 66.7%). Conclusions Iatrogenic rectovaginal fistula is caused by obstetric injury or injury of rectovaginal septum due to surgical mismanagement. Surgical repair is the only method that can cure rectovaginal fistulae. Mason′s operation is a favorable treatment method for the mid and lower (especially mid) rectovaginal fistulae.

?Dry eye is a multi-factorial disease of tear film and ocular surface, and it can result in discomfort, visual disturbance and tear film instability and potential damage of ocular surface, accompanied by hyper osmolarity of tears and ocular surface inflammation. lnflammation is the key factor to dry eye. Many kinds of immune cells and inflammatory factors are involved in the occurrence and development of dry eye syndrome. Cell apoptosis, nerve dysregulation, disorders of sex hormones also play an important role in pathologic process of dry eye. Recently, while illustrating the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of dry eye has been made some progress, there is still no single standard. The possible mechanisms of ocular surface inflammation and tear dysfunction of dry eye were reviewed in this article.

Objective To study the effect of behavioral therapy combined with Paroxetine in the treatment of overactive bladder accompanied by depression and anxiety.Methods Over the past two years,a total of 69 cases of patients with overactive bladder accompanied by depression and anxiety were diagnosed by outpatient,they were divided into experimental group (n=33)and control group(n=36).The experimental group were given behavior therapy and Paroxetine in the treatment of anxiety,depression,while the control group were given behavior therapy.Then the overactive bladder symptom score(OABSS),urgency score,SDS,SAS score before and after treatment of the two groups of patients were statistically analyzed.Results (1)The OABSS score ((3.30± 1.01) vs (7.51 ± 0.69)),urgency score((2.60±0.51) vs (3.93±0.69)),SDS score((43.1±6.2) vs (66.4±4.7)) and SAS score ((41.9±0.6) vs (61.4±3.9)) decreased after treatment of the experimental group.There were statistically significant compared with before treatment(t=17.8773,8.9045,17.2039,16.0273,all P＜0.01).(2) The OABSS score,urgency score decreased after treatment of the control group.There were statistically significant compared with before treatment (t=6.1926,6.3483;both P＜0.01).SDS,SAS score before and after treatment of the control group were not statistically significant (t=1.3105,0.5852,bothP＞0.05) (3) The OABSS score,urgency score,of the experimental group were more depressed than the control group,which were statistically significant (t =3.3830,3.6391,both P＜0.01).Conclusion For overactive bladder patients with anxiety and depression,behavioral therapy combined with Paroxetine is better than behavioral therapy alone.

To explore the effects of serum insulin on the expression of ChREBP, ACC and FAS in vivo, KKAy mice which were characterized with high levels of both serum insulin and glucose and DIO mice which were characterized with high serum insulin level alone were utilized, separately. The age-matched C57BL/6J mice fed with standard chow were used as normal control (Con). Expressions of hepatic ChREBP, ACC and FAS were detected by Western blotting. As the results, in KKAy mice, a positive correlation between the levels of serum insulin and glucose (r = 0.902, P < 0.000), as well as between the levels of serum insulin and TG (r = 0.732, P < 0.000), was observed. Meanwhile, the expressions of hepatic ChREBP, ACC and FAS increased significantly and accompanied with its hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, separately. In DIO mice, correlation between the levels of serum insulin and TG (r = 0.722, P < 0.001) also showed positive, and the expressions of hepatic ChREBP, ACC and FAS increased significantly and also accompanied with its hyperinsulinemia. However, their blood glucose values were almost normal. These demonstrated that hyperinsulinemia may cause glycolipid metabolic disorders by up-regulating the expression of ChREBP in vivo.

Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the level of NF-?B and FADD.Results The expression rates of Fas,FADD in ITP children decreased,but the expression rates of FasL,NF-?B increased.The differences between ITP children and heathy children had statistics significance(P

Depression is a common emotional disorder that seriously affects people's life and health all over the world. The pathogenesis of depression is complex, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for antidepressants has a good therapeutic effect because of its multi-component, multi-pathway, and multi-target action mode. At present, the anti-depressive mechanism of TCM has not been fully clarified, but it is clear that depression is closely related to metabolic health. Therefore, in order to further explore the anti-depressive mechanism of TCM, this paper proposes research strategies on the anti-depressive mechanism of TCM based on functional metabolomics from the perspective of metabolism, the potential biomarkers of depression are analyzed with the help of multi-omics combined analysis technology, and the functional molecules of TCM for antidepressant are studied. Molecular biology techniques are used to accurately capture the molecular interactions between biomarkers of depression and functional compounds, which identify effective drug targets and further elucidate the biochemical functions and related mechanisms involved in depression metabolic disorders. This paper systematically reviews the research strategies and applications of functional metabolomics in the anti-depressive mechanisms of TCM, expounds on the core value of functional metabolomics, and summarizes the current research status and hot issues of TCM for antidepressants in recent years, providing new methods and new ideas for the study of mechanisms of TCM with the help of functional metabolomics.

Penaeidin-2 (Pen-2) is an important antimicrobial peptide derived from the Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, and possesses both antibacterial and antifungal activities. Recent studies suggest that recombinant penaeidins show similar activities to the native Pen-2 protein. Previous researches have shown that some antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibit cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. To date, there have been no studies on the antitumor effects of Pen-2. This study evaluated the potential of recombinant pen-2 (rPen-2) in the selective killing of kidney cancer cell lines ACHN and A498, and its action mechanism. MTT assays found the maximal growth inhibition of HK-2, ACHN and A498 cells treated with 100 μg/mL rPen-2 at 48 h was 13.2%, 62.4%, and 70.4%, respectively. DNA-specific fluorescent dye staining showed a high percentage of apoptosis on cancer cells. Flow cytometry revealed that the apoptosis rate of HK-2, ACHN and A498 cells was 15.2%, 55.2%, and 61.5% at 48 h respectively, suggesting that rPen-2 induced higher apoptosis rate in cancer cells than in HK-2 cells. Laser confocal scanning microscopy demonstrated that the plasma membrane was the key site where rPen-2 interacted with and destroyed tumor cells. Scanning electron microscopy showed the morphologic changes of the cell membranes of kidney cancer cells treated with rPen-2. These results suggest that rPen-2 is a novel potential therapeutic agent that may be useful in treating kidney cancers.
