Objective To comparatively analyze the differences of contraceptive situation of artificial abortion women between urban area and districts and counties in Chongqing City to provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the family planning service strategy.Methods The Women Baseline Qestionnaire of Family Planning Service Survey and Study after Abortion provided by the Scientific and Technical Institute of National Population and Family Planning Commission was adopted to survey the contraceptive situation among women receiving artificial abortion in the outpatient department of our hospital and distric and county hopstials during 2015.Results (1)The age and marital status had no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05);(2)no contraceptive measures adopted and confraceptive failure were main reasons causing artificial abortion,and there was no statistic difference between the two groups(P>0.05);(3)the contraceptive measures adopted after artificial abortion were dominated by IUD,short acting oral contraceptive and condom,in which the women selecting the long termcontraceptive measures such as IUD and subdermal implant in the distric and county group was larger than that in the urban group,while the number of the women selecting the short term contraceptive measures such as condom and short term contraceptive drugs in the distric and county group were higher than those in the urban area group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The main reasons causing ar tificial abortion are low use rate of contraception measures,low efficiency of contraceptive modes,fluke minds existence or lack of understanding of contraceptive methods.But in general,the population selecting high efficiency contraceptive measures in the urban group is lower than that in the distric and county group.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of liver metastases of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) and its treatment outcome,so as to further cognition of NET.Methods The clinical data of patients with liver metastases of NET diagnosed by Peking Union Medical College Hospital during January 1996 to July 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Results The ratio of male to female was 1∶1.15 (20∶ 23).The median age at onset of the patients with liver metastases of NET was 47.5 (26-70) years.The median duration from onset to diagnosis was 4 (0-120) months.The liver metastases were the first manifestation in 69.8% (30/43) cases.The detection rate of primary lesions with routine abdominal imaging (B-type ultrasonography,CT,MRI) was 65.1% (28/43),while increased to 90.7% (39/43) when combined the following one or more special examinations including somatostatin receptor scintigraphy ( SRS),PET-CT,endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) (P =0.004).The definite diagnosis methods mainly depended on surgical specimens (69.8%,30/43).The ratio of nonfunctional to functional NET with liver metastases was 1.87∶1(28∶ 15).The primary tumors were most commonly located in pancreas [39.3% (11/28) and 73.3%( 11/15 ) ],followed by stomach [ 21.4% (6/28) and 13.3% ( 2/15 ) ].Totally 88.4% ( 38/43 ) patients received operation,and 9.3% (4/43) patients had reoperation due to missed diagnosis of the primary tumors on earlier operation.Non-surgical treatments included octreotide acetate long-acting release,interventional therapy,chemotherapy and radiotherapy,which were difficult to be evaluated due to less follow-uped cases.Conclusions Liver metastases of NET are common and even the first manifestated symptom.Primary NET with liver metastases is the most commonly nonfunctional and located in digestive system.The detection rates of primary lesions are increased by special examinations including SRS,PET-CT and EUS. Surgical specimens are helpful to the final diagnosis,but it is necessary to improve the preoperative diagnostic rate of primary tumors to avoid repeat surgeries.

Objective: To explore the effects of ramipril, trimetazidine and the combination of ramipril and trimetazidine on renal cell apoptosis index (AI) and cytochrome C (Cyt-C) expression in experimental rats with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Methods: CHF model was established by partially banding of abdominal aorta superior to renal artery in experimental rats. A total of 50 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Sham operation group, Model group, Ramipril group, Trimetazidine group and Combination (ramipril and trimetazidine) group.n=10 in each group. Renal tubular cell AI was examined by TUNEL method, mRNA and protein expressions of Cyt-C were detected by RT-PCR and Western Blot analysis in each group respectively.
Results: Compared with Sham operation group, Model group had increased AI of renal tubular cells, increased mRNA and protein expressions of Cyt-C,P<0.01. Compared with Model group, Ramipril group, Trimetazidine group and Combination group showed decreased AI of renal tubular cells (20.02 ± 1.14) %, (20.10 ± 1.2) % and (14.27 ± 1.40) % vs ( 40.82 ± 1.31) %; reduced Cyt-C mRNA expression (0.54 ± 0.06), ( 0.56 ± 0.05) and (0.44 ± 0.04) vs (0.89 ± 0.03); reduced Cyt-C protein expression (1.50 ± 0.11), (1.58 ± 0.12) and (0.75 ± 0.06) vs (2.53 ± 0.10); the most reduction was obtain by Combination group, allP<0.01.
Conclusion: Ramipril and trimetazidine can inhibit renal cell apoptosis and effectively improve the renal function in CHF rats. Combined medication is better than either of them alone.

AIM:To study functions of pro-domain in tumor necrosis factor-? converting enzyme (TACE) maturation and to develop an approach to interfere with inflammation processes. METHODS: The plasmid pIRES2-EGFP was used to generate the expression plasmids constructed with the signal peptide and pro-domain, full length or without the pro-domain(designated as pIRES2-EGFP/T648, pIRES2-EGFP/T2472, pIRES2-EGFP/T57-T1824,respectively). The plasmids were used to transfect the U937 cells.After the transfected cells were stimulated by LPS, the effect of expression plasmids on TNF-? secretion was detected by ELISA and flow cytometry(FCM).RESULTS: The plasmid pIRES2-EGFP/T648 inhibited 61.09% TNF-? secretion and mediated the accumulation of TNF-? on the surface of U937 cells.The sTNF-? secretion and the level of the mTNF-? in the plasmid pIRES2-EGFP/T57-T1824 transfected cells had no significant deviation compared with the pIRES2-EGFP transfected cells. The sTNF-? secretion of the cells transfected by the plasmid pIRES2-EGFP/T2472 increased and the level of the mTNF-? decreased.CONCLUSION: The pro-domain has dual effects in TACE maturation and might be applied to molecular design of anti-inflammation drug.

To report a case of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase deficiency child with delayed diagnosis for seven years, and review the literature. A 13-year-old boy presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia after infection since 6 years old, he also had convulsion and short stature. The laboratory finding revealed ketotic hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis, transient elevated ALT and UA. The genetic analysis showed compound heterozygous mutations of c. 960-961insG and c. 355G> A in FBP1 gene. Among eighteen patients reported in China, 88.9% had convulsion, 16.7% had growth retardation, the average delayed diagnosis spent 2.8 years, which could result in permanent brain damage and high death risk. The most common mutation was c. 960-961insG, followed by c. 355G>A and c. 490G>A, these mutations maybe hot spot sites of FBPl gene in China.

Objective To investigate whether human p27kip1 gene transfection mediated by nanoparticles( NP) can express p27kip1 protein and inhibit the neointimal formation in rat vein grafting models. Method Autogenous vein graft model was established in 120 Wistar rats by transplanting internal branch of jugular vein to carotid artery. Rats were divided into three groups: (1) p27 group; p27kip1 gene mediated by NP were transfected into the veins before anastomosis; (2) control group; the veins were transfected by simple NP; (3) grafting group;the veins were grafted without transfection. The grafted veins were harvested at 3 d, 7 d, 14 d and 28 d respectively after the operation. The exogenous p27 kip1 protein expression in veins was determined by Western blot. Intimal hyperplasia (IH) and PCNA were observed by pathology and analyzed by computer digitizing system. The presence of apoptotic VSMC was demonstrated by TUNEL method. Result p27kip1 gene transfection mediated by NP complex increased protein expression of p27kip1 gene and there was a significant decrease in the intimal average thickness at 7 d, 14 d and 28 d in p27 group (P
