OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of low-molecular-weight-heparin-sodium combined with dy-drogesterone in the treatment of threatened abortion. METHODS:Medical information of 72 patients with threatened abortion were analyzed retrospectively and divided into control group(36 cases)and observation group(36 cases). Control group was given Dy-drogesterone tablet with initial dose of 40 mg,one day later every 12 h 10 mg/time. Observation group was additionally given ab-dominal subcutaneous injection of Low-molecular-weight-heparin-sodium injection 5000 U,once a day,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for a week. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed,and lumbar acid,vaginal bleeding,ab-dominal pain time,total treatment time,neonatal birth weight were also observed. The levels of hs-CRP,fibrinogen,D-dimer and platelet,the occurrence of ADR were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(91.7%vs. 80.6%),the backache,vaginal bleeding,abdominal pain time and to-tal treatment time of observation group were significantly shorter than those of control group,the neonatal birth weight and gesta-tional age of observation group were significantly more than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of hs-CRP,fibrinogen,D-dimer and platelet between 2 group(P>0.05);after treatment,the levels of hs-CRP,fibrinogen,D-dimer and platelet in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,low-molecu-lar-weight-heparin-sodium combined with dydrogesterone shows good therapeutic efficacy and safety for threatened abortion.

Objective To explore the influential factors of dangerous placenta previa pathogenesis,and to analyze their peri natal period outcomes.Methods The clinical data in 143 pregnant women and parturients of dangerous placenta previa(research group) and 286 pregnant women and parturients of non-dangerous placenta previa(control group) in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The average age of the research group was higher than that of the control group (t =2.92,P =0.004);the previous pregnancy frequency,previous parity,previous abortion frequency,previous cesarean delivery frequency and incidence of placenta previa in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01);the incidence of placenta previa in the research group was higher than that in the control group(x2 =7.60,P=0.006);the prenatal gestational weeks of the research group were lower than those of the control group(t=-12.33,P＜0.01).The multi-factor analysis showed that the age,previous abortion frequency and previous cesarean delivery frequency were the influence factors of placenta previa occurrence.Among them,the previous cesarean delivery frequency was the main risk factor.The occurrence rates of antepartum hemorrhage,postpartum hemorrhage,uterine removal and premature infants in the research group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.01);The intraoperative blood loss of the research group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05);the neonatal birth weight and the 1 min Apgar score of the research group were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The age,previous abortion frequency and previous cesarean section frequency are related to the occurrence of dangerous placenta previa.

Tunneling nanotubes(TNT) are cellular communication and transport mechanism discovered recently. TNTs play important role in immunological response and viral spread, also may involve embryonic development, regulation of gene expression and carcinogenesis. However, it was not easy to study TNT for clinical samples since intricate assay method for TNT. We suggested using histochemical assay PAS staining in cell drip to show TNT in leukemia and lymphoma samples.
