Objective To explore a best therapy regimen for conservative treatment of ectopic pregnancy.Methods Total of 124 cases of ectopic pregnancy underwent medicine therapy. They were divided into 4 groups: A group with MTX orly,B group with mifepristone only,C group with MTX and mifepristone comblnation,and D group with combined MTX, mifepristone and Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Results The curative rate was 80.65% ,61.29% ,87.10% and 90.32% in group A,group B,group C,and group D. The curative rate of group D is higher than other groups (P<0.05, P<0.01 ). Conclusion Combined MTX, mifepfistone and TCM has better effect on ectopic pregnany and has less side effects.

Objective To investigate the pathologic foundation,clinical characteristics and CT features of microscopic polyangiitis(MPA)with lung involvement.Methods Clinical data of 6 patients of MPA with lung involvement in 2003-2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The types of lung imaging manifestations as the followings:(1)Mutiple flaky shadow in both lung in 3 cases.(2)Ground-glass shadow in 1 case.(3)Disseminated interstitial lung involvement in 2 cases.The main respiratory symptom was haemoptysis except cough and expectoration.Renal damaging often occurred besides the lung.Six cases with positive antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)and 5 cases with positive P-ANCA/MPO-ANCA were found in laboratory examination.Conclusions The CT manifestations of MPA with lung involvement have no characteristic features.Clinical characteristics and laboratory examination can help to understand and diagnose MPA with lung involvement early.

Objective:To investigate the effect of vincristine on the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells by regulating RASSF2A demethylation.Methods:SKOV3 cells were infected with control (LV-NC) and RASSF2A lentivirus (LV-RASSF2A) and treated with or without vincristine. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the activity of ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3) treated with different doses of vincristine. Colony formation assay was used to detect the proliferation of SKOV3 cells. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis of SKOV3 cells. Real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to examine the mRNA expression of RASSF2A in IOSE-29 and SKOV3 cells. Western blot was used to examine the protein expression of RASSF2A in IOSE-29 and SKOV3 cells. Methylation-specific PCR was used to detect methylation and demethylation levels of RASSF2A gene in IOSE-29 and SKOV3 cells.Results:The cell viabilities of SKOV3 cell treated with 6.25 nmol/L, 12.5 nmol/L, 25 nmol/L, 50 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L vincristine were (87.19±4.49)%, (73.67±8.62)%, (66.35±6.04)%, (50.32±6.00)% and (34.92±6.11)%, respectively, lower than (100.46±4.69)% of control group ( P<0.05). The half maximal inhibitory concentration of vincristine at 48 hours was 50.02 nmol/L. The proliferation abilities of SKOV3 cells in vincristine 12.5 nmol/L group, 25 nmol/L group and 50 nmol/L group were (41.70±2.21)%, (32.15±1.80)% and (23.00±2.01)%, respectively, significantly lower than (100.78±5.66)% in the control group (all P<0.05). The apoptotic rates of SKOV3 cells in vincristine 12.5 nmol/L group, 25 nmol/L group and 50 nmol/L group were (3.65±0.27)%, (5.21±0.76)% and (10.46±1.00)%, respectively, significantly higher than (2.12±0.23)% in the control group (all P<0.05). Compared with the IOSE-29 group (1.00±0.07 and 0.68±0.04), the mRNA expression (0.32±0.04) and protein expression (0.24±0.02) of RASSF2A were down-regulated in SKOV3 cells ( P<0.05). Compared with the LV-NC group [(101.60±4.39)%, (100.73±3.29)%, (4.06±0.30)%], over-expression of RASSF2A down-requlated cell viability (68.92±3.94)%, inhibited proliferation (16.38±2.16)%, and promoted apoptosis (8.65±0.56)%, ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Vincristine can increase RASSF2A expression and inhibit ovarian cancer cell proliferation by promoting the demethylation of RASSF2A promoter.

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the expression of miR-191 in cervical cancer tissues and its effect on the patients' prognosis.
Methods: One hundred and seven cervical cancer tissue specimens from patients who underwent surgical treatment and 46 normal
cervical tissue specimens from patients who underwent surgical resection of uterine fibroids (the control group) in Xinxiang Central
Hospital were collected from December 2012 to December 2014. The expression of miR-191 in cancer tissues was detected by qPCR.
All patients were followed up from the first day after surgery, and the follow-up deadline was December 31, 2019. All patients were
followed up for 5 years, with death as the end event. The survival time and 5-year survival rate of the patients were recorded.
Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method and the factors affecting survival prognosis were analyzed using Cox
proportional hazard regression model. Results: The expression level of miR-191 in cervical cancer tissues was significantly higher
than that in the tissues from control group (P<0.01). There were significant differences in miR-191 expression among patients with
different high-risk HPV infection status, different pathological grades and FIGO stages, and different lymph node metastasis status
(all P<0.01). The 5-year survival rate of patients in the miR-191 low expression group was significantly higher than those patients in
the high expression group (81.48% vs 33.75%, χ 2
=16.905, P<0.01). Pathological grade, FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis and the
expression of miR-191 were risk factors affecting the prognosis of cervical cancer patients (HR=0.486, 3.065, 2.339 and 2.755, all
P<0.05). Conclusion: miR-191 is highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues, and its expression level increases with the progression of
malignancy. It is expected to become a potential biomarker for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of cervical cancer.
