Clinical Medicine of China 2008;24(11):1135-1137
Objective To investigate the role of survivin gene in the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). Methods The expressions of survivin in endometriosis and normal endometrium tissue were determined ; the effects of GnRHa and COX-2 on the expression of survivin mRNA in endometriosis and normal endometrium in vitro and the effects of GnRHa and COX-2 on the apoptosis index in the cultured ectopie endometrial cells were investigated. Re-sults ①The expression of survivin mRNA was higher in patients with endometriosis than that of healthy controls (P <0.01) ,with no cyclical variation. ②GnBHa exerted a dose-dependent suppression of survivin mRNA expres-sion in cultured ectopic endometrioma cells as well as COX-2. The significant suppression was observed at the 100μg/L concentration of GnRHa and at the 40 μmol/L concentration of COX-2. No cooperation was found between them (P > 0.05). Conclusion ①The up-regulation of survivin mRNA expression may reduce the sensitivity of en-dometriotic cells to apeptosis. Elevated expression of survivin mRNA in ectopic endometrium may have important im-plications for the survival and proliferation of the ectopic endometrial tissue.②Both GnRHa and COX-2 can promote apoptosis by inhibiting survivin mRNA expression in ectopic endometrioma cells in vitro.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the incidence of cerebral events in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease compli-cating with cerebral microbleeds(CMBs)at the last stage of antiplatelet agent use. METHODS:140 patients with ischemic cerebro-vascular disease were selected from Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affilicated to Capital Medical University during Jan. 2013-Jan. 2014, and then divided into CMBs group and non-CMBs group according to whether complicated with CMBs,with 70 cases in each group. After followed up for 1 year(regular use of aspirin 100 mg/d and/or clopidogrel 75 mg/d),the incidence of recurrent cere-bral infarction and cerebral bleeding and mortality were compared. RESUTLS:The incidence of recurrent cerebral infarction was 12.9% in CMBs group and 8.6% in non-CMBs group,without statistical significance(P=0.412);the incidence of cerebral bleed-ing was 10.0% in CMBs group and 1.4% in non-CMBs group,with statistical significance(P=0.029);the mortality of cerebro-vascular event at the last stage was 5.7% in CMBs group and 4.3% in non-CMBs group,without statistical significance (P=0.698). CONCLUSIONS:The risk of cerebral bleeding increase in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease complicating with CMBs after the application of antiplatelet agent. For patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease complicating with CMBs,the application of antiplatelet agent should be based on the complete judgment and weighing of benefit and bleeding risk.

Objective:
To establish a continuous flow injection analysis with potassium permanganate for determination of oxygen consumption in water.
Methods:
The water samples and acid potassium permanganate working solutions were mixed using the continuous flow bubble spacing, and subjected to online heating reaction at 97 ℃. The peak height of the electrical signal of potassium permanganate was measured at the maximum absorption wavelength of 520 nm, and the standard substance, sulfuric acid concentration and potassium permanganate concentration were optimized according to the peak height of the electrical signal. The standard curve was plotted to measure the limit of detection, the limit of quantification, and spiked recovery rate of the method. The CODMn concentration was determined in 40 drinking water samples using acid potassium permanganate titration and continuous flow injection analysis using potassium permanganate, and the determination results of the two methods were compared with paired t-test.
Results:
Glucose was selected as the standard substance, and the mixture of 17.5% sulfuric acid and 3.2 mmol/L potassium permanganate was selected as the working solution. CODMn had a good linear relationship at concentrations of 0 to 6.00 mg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 and higher, a detection limit of 0.013 mg/L and a quantitation limit of 0.043 mg/L, respectively. The spiked recovery rates were 90.00% to 105.00% in 40 drinking water samples, with relative standard deviations of 0.12% to 1.36%. The determination results of two permanganate index standard substances were all within the range of standard values. The relative errors of CODMn concentration were 1.55% to 9.26% between the continuous flow injection analysis using potassium permanganate and acid potassium permanganate titration, and there was no significant difference (t=2.023, P=0.185).
Conclusion

Objective To investigate the application value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound combined with tomographic ultrasound imaging (TUI) in the diagnosis of early ectopic pregnancy. Methods One hundred and twenty patients with 4 to 6 weeks menopause were collected. All of the cases were clinical suspected of ectopic pregnancy and the surgical pathology and clinical follow-up results of each case were obtained. Both transvaginal two dimensional ultrasound imaging and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging combined with TUI technique were applied in order to make a diagnosis based on ultrasonographic characteristics for each of the case;surgical pathology and clinical follow-up results were compared with the ultrasonographic diagnosis so as to analysis and conclude the ultrasonographic imaging characteristics of cases misdiagnosed or missed diagnosed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI technique. Results One hundred and two cases were confirmed as ectopic pregnancy by surgical pathology and clinical follow-up results among 120 patients and eighteenth cases were confirmed as intrauterine pregnancy. Comparing surgical pathology and clinical follow-up results with the ultrasonographic diagnosis showed:(1) Ninety-two cases of tubal pregnancy:80 cases were correctly diagnosed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging (86.9%, 80/92) while 84 cases by three-dimensional combined with TUI technique (91.3%, 84/92); 8 cases were missed diagnosed by both two methods;4 cases were misdiagnosed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging while zero case by three-dimensional combined with TUI technique. Ultrasonographic imaging characteristics:adnexal masses presented as“Donut”sign which was similar to gestational-sac or masses with irregular boundary. The majority of the masses presented as clear boundaries and internal structure and had obvious margins with fallopian tube. A total 36 cases of unruptured tubal pregnancy were correctly diagnosed by the two methods while 43 cases of abortion type and 5 cases of ruptured type were correctly diagnosed. (2) Ten cases of uterine cornual pregnancy:6 cases were correctly diagnosed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging (60.0%, 6/10) while 9 cases by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI technique (90.0%, 9/10);4 cases were misdiagnosd by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging and 1 case by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI technique. Ultrasonographic imaging characteristics:the gestational-sac was located in the uterine horn, 6 cases of gestational-sac was not connected with endometrium showed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging while 9 cases were clearly showed by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI technique that the gestational-sac was connected with endometrium, especially in the coronal-section. The surrounding decidua circumvoluted the gestational-sac was unclear in 4 cases by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging and in 9 cases by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI technique. And‘interstitial line’ sign appeared in 4 cases showed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imagingwhile 6 cases by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI technique. (3) Cases missed diagnosed and misdiagnosed:8 cases of early ectopic pregnancy were missed diagnosed both by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging and three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI. The reasons we concluded were as follow:‘false gestational-sac’ located in the uterine cavity;the location of the gestational-sac was so closed to uterine cavity. Four cases of tubal pregnancy and 4 cases of uterine cornual pregnancy were misdiagnosed by transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. The location of the ectopic pregnancy mass and the gestational-sac of 7 cases of uterine cornual pregnancy were clearly showed by three-dimensional ultrasound imaging joint TUI and only 1 case was misdiagnosed. Conclusions Transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound imaging combined with TUI technique can provide more detailed ultrasound diagnostic information and reduced missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis of the early ectopic pregnancy. The clinical application value of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound imaging combined with TUI technique in the diagnosis of early ectopic pregnancy was good.
