Objective To discuss the clinical value of the suture of sacral ligament and pubovaginalis fascia plus sacrospinous ligament fixation in the treatment of moderate and severe pelvic organ prolapse ( POP) . Methods Thirty-two cases with moderate or severe POP,who were treated by the suture of sacral ligament and pubovaginalis fascia besides sacrospinous ligament fixation,were retrospectively analyzed. Results The locations of POP in the 32 patients were mainly in the anterior and middle pelvis cavity. The degree of uterine prolapse was not less than POP-Q Ⅲ phase. The anterior and/or posterior vaginal walls were also prolapsed. The patients were treated by the transvaginal panhysterectomy,vaginal wall neoplasty,sacrospinous ligament fixation and the suture of sacral ligament and pubovaginalis fascia. Those with stress incontinence were also treated with urethral posterior ligament plication. The operation time was 60~120 min,and the hemorrhage vol-ume was 100~300 mL. There were no severe complications or recurrence in all patients. Conclusion The suture of sacral ligament and pubovaginalis fascia could greatly reduce the hazard rate of the recurrence of anterior pelvic organ defects in POP patients treated by sacrospi-nous ligament fixation. The suture operation could strengthen the anterior pelvis cavity,and was proven to be simple,secure and effective. Therefore,the operation is valuable to be used in clinical application.

Objective To discuss the safety and advantages of prone-straddle position applied in transvaginal hysteromyomectomy of the posterior wall of the uterus. Methods The clinical data of patients who were admitted into our hospital from March 2013 to Janaury 2015 and received transvaginal hysteromyomectomy were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into group A ( prone-straddle position, 30 cases) and group B (traditional lithotomy position,24 cases). The exposure of operative field, convenience of operation, time of the placement, time of operation, patient satisfaction, as well as patients’ heart rate, blood pressure, and oxyhemoglobin saturation were observed and ana-lyzed. Results Compared with the lithotomy position, there were significant differences in the time of the placement and the time of opera-tion in the patients treated by prone-straddle position. The patients with prone-straddle position cooperated well, and there was no obvious discomfort. Their vital signs were stable during the operation. The operative field during prone-straddle position exposed better and it was more convenient which make the operation became easier for both the operators and nurses. Conclusion Prone-straddle position applied in transvaginal hysteromyomectomy of the posterior wall of the uterus is safe and practicable, and it is valuable for clinical application.

BACKGROUND:Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease.Augmentation index(Alx)is an important marker which reflects the systemic arterial stiffness.OBJECTIVE:To investigate Alx and the affecting factors in Xinjiang Uygur health adults.METHODS:A total of 559 healthy adults(251 males and 308 females)with a mean age of(44.95±11.87)years were selected from Hetian,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.The following indexes of all subjects were measured,including questionnaire,physical examination,blood biochemistry and C-reactive protein(CRP).Central systolic blood pressure(cSBP)and central Alx were measured by Sphygmocor.Pearson correlation and partial correlation analysis were used for two-group analysis of correlation,and multiple regression analysis was used to analyze influential factors for Alx.RESULTS AND CONCULUSION:Alx was greater in female than in male and was positively related to age in both sexes(male:r=0.548,female:r =0.405,P < 0.05),as well as adjusted other influential factors(male:r=0.182,female:r =0.234,P < 0.05).Multiple regression analysis showed that cSBP,systolic blood pressure(SBP),sex,age and CRP were main factors which affected Alx in Uygur healthy adults,cSBP,SBP,age,body mass and CRP were main factors which affected Alx in the male,while cSBP,SBP,age,height and CRP were main factors which affected Alx in the female.Results revealed that Alx was greater in female than in male which was positively related to age in both sexes.Age,cSBP,SBP and CRP were main factors that affected Alx in Xinjiang Uygur healthy adults.

AIM: To investigate the effects of sodium hydrosulfide ( NaHS ) , a donor of hydrogen sulfide ( H2 S) , on the membrane permeability , intracellular Ca 2+concentration ( [ Ca2+] i ) and the release of IL-1βinduced by a-denosine triphosphate (ATP) in rat microglia, and to explore the effect of H2S on ATP-P2X purinergic signaling pathway and the molecular mechanism of its neuroprotective effect .METHODS: Rat microglia in logarithmic growth phase were used in the study.The [Ca2+]i was detected by Fura-2/AM staining.Fluorescent dye YO-PRO-1 was used to observe the membrane permeability.Interleukin-1β(IL-1β) was measured by rat IL-1βELISA kits.RESULTS:The YO-PRO-1 flu-orescence intensity was obviously elevated by ATP induction in a dose -dependent manner in the rat microglia , but this effect was counteracted by NaHS pretreatment (P<0.05).[Ca2+]i rapidly increased and then decreased slowly , forming a sta-ble platform for a long time when rat microglia were treated with ATP .Ca2+spike activity induced by ATP had no change , but the platform disappeared (P<0.05) after NaHS pretreatment.The ATP and LPS together facilitated the release of IL-1β, but the phenomenon was inhibited by NaHS (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Hydrogen sulfide may decrease the mem-brane permeability , calcium inflow and IL-1βrelease in rat microglia activated by high dose of ATP .The cytoprotection of hydrogen sulfide may be mediated by purinergic signaling pathway .

Objective To investigate the blood fatty levels in different genotypes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and the carotid atherosclerosis (CAS) in patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods Four hundred and eighty-eight cases of Han and Uygur in patients with EH were selected,and MMP-2-735 C/T and MMP-3-1171 5A/6A polymorphism was measured by polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism.They were divided into two groups:EH with CAS group (CAS group,293 cases,Han 171 cases,Uygur 122 cases) and EH without CAS group (NS group,195 cases,Han 105 cases,Uygur 90 cases).Blood fatty factors were analyzed according to the different MMP genotypes.Results According to MMP-2 genotypes,in Hart CAS group,the low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in MMP-2 CT+TT genotypes were significantly higher than those in CC genotype(P ＜ 0.05),and high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly lower than those in CC genotype(P ＜ 0.05); In Uygur CAS group,the triglyceride levels in MMP-2 CT+TT genotypes were significantly higher than those in CC genotype(P ＜ 0.05).According to MMP-3 genotypes in Han NS group,the total cholesterol and LDL-C levels in 6A/6A genotype were significantly higher than those in 5A/5A+5A/6A genotypes (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The blood fatty levels are different in patients with different MMP genotypes,which may probably influence the CAS.

Objective:To investigate the neural mechanism of long-term exposure to high altitudes environment on the processing stage of perceptual closure.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted. Thirty college students who first entered the plateau area (at an altitude of 3 658 m) and had lived in high-altitude areas for two years were selected as high altitude group (HA group), and 29 college students matched in age, gender and education level who had never been to the plateau area were selected as sea level group (SL group). The differences of basic physiological parameters were compared between the two groups.The face pairwise comparison paradigm was applied in the subjects of the two groups and the differences between the two groups were compared by event-related potentials (ERPs) technology. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the mean ± standard deviation was used for statistical description. Independent sample t test was used for comparison of physiological data between the two groups, and repeated measurement variance analysis was used for ERP data. Results:The physiological results revealed that the HA group had a higher pulse rate((86.71±10.82)/min, (75.97±11.28)/min ; t=-3.19, P=0.002) and diastolic blood pressure than the SL group ((75.93±9.19)mmHg, ( 68.59±11.42) mmHg ; t=-3.20, P=0.002). The oxygen saturation level was significantly lower than that of SL group ((90.77±2.25)%, (98.31±1.56) %) ; t=14.00, P<0.001). In the face pairwise comparison paradigm test, the main effect of P1 latency of ERP was significant.Compared with SL group, HA group showed significantly shortened latency of P1 ((105.10±15.59) ms, (128.35±14.40)ms, P<0.001). The main effect of group of N170 amplitude was significant, HA group was larger than that of SL group((-7.57±3.83) μV, ( -5.11±3.26) μV, P=0.005). The interaction effect between group and hemisphere of NCL amplitude was significant ( F(1, 57)=9.72, P=0.003). Simple effect test showed that the amplitude on the right hemisphere of SL group was significantly larger than that on the left hemisphere((0.46±1.31) μV), (1.16±1.33) μV ). The latency of P1 was significantly correlated with heart rate( r=-0.46, P<0.01), oxygen saturation level( r=0.64, P<0.01) and diastolic blood pressure( r=-0.26, P=0.049). Conclusion:After long-term exposure to high altitude, the neural response related to early visual perception is faster. More psychological resources are recruited during the face structural encoding stage. Contra-lateral compensating effect appeares in the stage of perceptual closure.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer is a type of highly invasive breast cancer with a high recurrence rate. Although the single-targeted treatment for HER-2 prolongs survival, patients still develop recurrence and metas-tasis. The mechanisms of dual-targeted therapies are non-overlapping and have synergistic effects, which further improves the survival of patients. Based on trastuzumab, this article reviews the current status and progression indual-targeted therapeutic regimens con-taining anti-HER-2.

The study was to observe the therapeutic effect of HJ-1 NO--HFJV respirator on treating pulmonary edema caused by seawater drowning. Seawater was infused into the rabbit's lung to establish the animal model of pulmonary edema caused by seawater drowning(PE-SWD). Then the animals were divided into three groups: simple PE-SWD model as control group, treat group(animal model treated with HFJV respirator and four medicines) and HFJV respiratior plus NO group. Pao2, Sao2 and pH were measured by the blood-gas analyzer. The survival time and seawater drowing-respiratiory distress syndrom(SW-RDS) were observed. The results showed that Pao2, Sao2 in NO group were remarkably higher than that of PE-SWD control group, and the survival time was longer than that of medicine treated group and the incidence of SW-RDS decreased to zero. We assume that HJ-1 NO-HFJV respirator is efficient on treating pulmonary edema.
