China Oncology 2006;0(11):-
With the emergence of new concepts, methods and techniques in modern medicine, the basic research and clinical treatment for gynecological oncology has rapidly developed in the past couple of years. Evidence-based medicine, individualized therapy and microinvasive therapy give us more opportunities to treat the patient. Nowadays, it is possible for the clinic to implement new approaches to improve the outcome and the quality of life for the patients with minimal side effects at the same time. There has been a lot of reports from in vitro studies suggesting that gonadotrophin may play an important role in tumorigenesis, estrogen may promote tumor cell proliferation through PAX2 gene. Survivin, a protein serving as an apoptosis inhibitor, may be crucial for the regulation of tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of MOTOmed movement therapy on balance and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) of convalescing stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods Forty convalescent stroke patients exhibiting hemiplegia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 20 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation training; the treatment group received MOTOmed training in addition. Balance function of all the patients was assessed using Berg's balance scale (BBS) , and the Barthel Index ( BI) was used to assess ADL ability at the beginning of the program and after 6 weeks of treatment. Results Balance and ADL ability improved significantly in both groups after 6 weeks of treatment. The effect in the treatment group was significantly better than in the control group. Balance and ADL ability were positively correlated. Conclusions Applying MOTOmed therapy along with routine rehabilitation training can distinctly improve balance and the ADL ability of hemiplegics after stroke.

Objective To study the relationship between oxidative stress and endothelial cell apoptosis in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypoventilation syndrome (OSAHS). Methods Sixth-seven patients definitely diagnosed by potysomnography (PSG) as OSAHS were divided into three groups according to their apnea-hypoventilation index (AHI), 14 in mild group (5 < AHI≤20), 21 in moderate group (20 < AHI≤40) and 32 in severe group (AHI 40). And, 18 healthy persons (AHI <5) were recruited as controls. Blood samples were obtained form all of them after PSG performance for measuring apoptotic endothelial cells (CD146AnnV+) and serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA). Results Serum level of MDA and CD146AnnV+ in moderate and severe OSAHS group were significantly higher than those in control group (all P < 0.05). Serum level of SOD in moderate and severe OSAHS group was significantly lower than that in control group (P < 0.05). CD146AnnV+ correlated positively with AHI, the longest apnea time (LAT) and oxygen desaturation index (ODI) (r = 0.778, 0.609 and 0.689, respectively, all P < 0.05) and correlated reversely with saturation of arterial blood oxygen at night (SaO2min) (r =-0.635, P < 0.01). CD146AAnnV+ correlated positively with serum level of MDA (r = 0. 698, P < 0.01), and correlated reversely with serum level of SOD (r =-0.705, P < 0.01). Results of linear multivariate regression analysis showed that AHI, serum levels of SOD and MDA were independent risk factors for endothelial cells apoptosis in patients with OSAHS. Conclusions There existed oxidative stress due to intermittent hypoxia in patients with OSAHS, which could be one of the major causes in exacerbating endothelial damage.

This study is to investigate the protective effect of astaxanthin against injured hepatocyte L-02 cells induced by sodium azide (NaN3) and reveal the possible mechanisms. Hepatocyte L-02 cells were exposed to 100 mmol.L-1 NaN3 with various concentrations of astaxanthin pre-incubated, then the cell viability was measured by MTT method; The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by DCFH-DA method; The changes of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and apoptosis ratio were detected by JC-1 method and Annexin V-FITC/PI double stain method, respectively. Results showed that after cells were exposed to 100 mmol.L-1 NaN3 for 3 hours, the cell viability significantly decreased; ROS level and the percentage of late phase apoptosis increased obviously; MMP was also declined. When cells were pretreated with astaxanthin, the cell damage and late phase apoptosis ratio reduced and MMP was maintained. However, the level of ROS showed insignificant decrease (P>0.05). The beneficial concentration of astaxanthin in improving cell viability and MMP was not in a dose dependent manner and the most effective of which was 0.10 nmol.L-1 (P<0.01). In order to reveal its possible non-antioxidant mechanism, mitochondrial membrane was imitated and H+ transferring function of astaxanthin was also detected by bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) method. Results showed that 2.0% astaxanthin could transfer H+ efficiently. These suggested the mechanisms of astaxanthin in protection of hepatocyte L-02 cells not via its ROS quenching capability but via its H+ transferring function, which improved the mitochondrial function and had the sequence biology effects.

Objective: To explore change of hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, the relationship between anemia and left ventricular function and the influence of anemia on prognosis in patients with diastolic heart failure (DHF). Methods: According to NYHA classification, a total of 176 DHF patients were divided into class Ⅱ group (n=78), class Ⅲ group (n=50) and class Ⅳ group (n=48), then Hb level and morbidity rate of anemia were analyzed in each group. According to diagnostic standard of anemia, patients were divided into anemia group (n=58, , occupied 33.0%) and non anemia group (n=118, occupied 67.0% ). Left ventricular diastolic function, mortality rate and rehospitalization rate during follow-up were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results: Along with cardiac function class rose (from class Ⅱ to class Ⅳ), Hb level showed a decreasing trend [(130±6) g/L vs. (108±4) g/L vs. (96±12) g/L], while morbidity rate of anemia gradually rose (8.97% vs. 36.0% vs. 68.8%), P<0.05 all in anemia group;Compared with non-anemia group, there were significant rise in percentages of patients with coronary heart disease (55.1% vs. 65.5%), levels of creatinine [(87.6±39.2) μmol/L vs. (113.7±59.8) μmol/L] and N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP, (578.0±136.7) pg/ml vs. (886.0±174.8) pg/ml], and early-diastolic peak velocity deceleration time [(137±15)ms vs. (196±13)ms], and significant reduction in mitral early/late diastolic peak flow velocity [E/A, (0.87±0.32) vs. (0.62±0.29)], P<0.05 all. Compared with non-anemia group, there were significant rise in mortality rate (9.3% vs. 20.7%) and rehospitalization rate (18.6% vs. 32.8%) in anemia group during follow-up, P<0.05 all. Conclusion: DHF patients often complicate with anemia. Along with heart failure aggravates, their morbidity rate of anemia rises, and anemia may aggravate cardiac diastolic dysfunction. Mortality rate and rehospitalization rate rise in DHF patients complicated with anemia.
