OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of triptorelin acetate in the treatment of endometriosis after lap-aroscopy. METHODS:196 cases of endometriosis were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 98 cases in each group according to admission sequence. Both groups received laparoscopic surgery. After surgery,experimental group was given triptorelin acetate by intramuscular injection,3.75 mg/time,every 4 weeks;control group was given gestrinone orally,2.5 mg/time,twice a week,for 5 months. The ovulation,menstrual recovery and the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups. The endometriosis relapse of 2 groups were followed up for 1 year and observed. RESULTS:After treatment,the ovulation recov-ery time and menstrual recovery time of experimental group were all shorter than those of control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in experimental group(17.34%)was significantly lower than in control group(35.71%), with statistical significance(P<0.05). During follow-up period,the relapse rate of experimental group(7.14%)was significantly lower than that of control group(18.37%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:After laparoscopic surgery, triptorelin acetate can significantly improve therapeutic efficacy of endometriosis,reduce the occurrence of ADR.

Objective To study the probability of screening the high risk people of hypercholestrolemia by cholestrol level in cord blood. Methods Cord venous blood were collected in 1000 newborns and the cholestrol and glucose level were measured. Maternal diet, birth weight and delivery time were recorded. Results The mean level of cholestrol in cord blood was (64.86?17.25) mg% in full term newborns, 42 cases were higher than 100 mg%(4.2%). No relationship was shown between the cholestrol level in cord blood and that in the mother blood or maternal ,diet or delivery time. The glucose level in cord blood was affected by what the mother eating during the 3 hours before delivery. Conclusions The cholestrol level in cord blood of full term newborns may be used as the earliest screening method for hypercholestrolemia people.

Objective To observe the antitumor effect of 153Sm-DTPA-c (CGRRAGGSC) on MHCC97-H human liver cancer using a nude mice model.Methods 153Sm-DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC) was indirectly synthesized by the reaction of 153SmC13 with DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC).Western blot was used to detect the expression changes of IL-11 receptor of eight different cell lines.20 MHCC97-H tumor-bearing nude mice were randomly divided into four groups by random number table method with five mice in each group,administered with different activities of 153 Sm-DTPA-c (CGRRAGGSC) by tail vein injection (5.5,11.0,22.0 MBq/0.2 ml and physiological saline/0.2 ml in turn).All nude mice were terminated after 16 d then the tumor tissue was observed and analyzed with microscopy,electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for Ki-67,Bc1-2 and IL-11 receptor.Western blot was used to evaluate the expression changes on IL-11 receptor of tumor tissue at different doses.Results After administration with 153 Sm-DTPA-c(CGRRAGGSC),the central region in the early stage of tumor became dry,necrosis,and crusting.In the late stage,tumor continually grew surrounding necrosis tissue.The inhibition rates in the low,middle and higher dose group were (22.72 ±2.76)％,(34.65 ±2.36)％ and (85.13 ±5.78)％,respectively(F =89.32,P ＜ 0.05).The morphologic results showed that tumor structures were severely damaged along with radiation dose.The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the IL-11 receptor-positive cells in the control group and 5.5 MBq group was (84.13 ± 5.71) ％ and (61.57 ± 5.98) ％ (t =13.62,P ＜0.05),respectively.The Ki-67 and Bcl-2 positive cells were decreased in the injection group (t =20.91,6.68,P ＜0.05).Western blot analysis showed that the expression of IL-11 receptor protein decreased with antitumor-effect of radiation.Conclusions 153Sm-DTPA-c (CGRRAGGSC) effectively depresses the growth of MHCC97-H human liver cancer and suppresses the expression of IL-11 receptor,and hence could be a promoting agent for the treatment of MHCC97-H human liver cancer.

BACKGROUND:Under hypoxic environment, hypoxia-inducible factor 1α plays a dualregulatory role in cel apoptosis. Severity of hypoxia is the key to determine whether cels appear to have apoptosis or adapt to survive. When the cels are exposed to chronic or extreme hypoxia, a lack of protection mechanisms from hypoxia-inducible factor-1α can induce cel apoptosis. OBJECTIVE: To research the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α in human lumbar nucleus pulposus of different herniated types and its relationships with cel apoptosis. METHODS: The nucleus pulposus was harvested from 60 cases of herniation of lumbar intervertebral discs, L4-5 in 41 cases and L5-S1 in 19 cases. The nucleus pulposus tissues were equaly divided into protruded and sequestered groups. Meanwhile, the nucleus pulposus tissues from another 10 cases of lumbar spine fracture were taken as control group. Expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and apoptosis of lumbar nucleus pulposus cels were observed and detected with immunohistochemical technique and TUNEL method. Correlation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and apoptosis in human lumbar nucleus pulposus of different herniated types was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α was visualized in each case, but it was significantly higher in the sequestered group than in the protruded group and control group (P < 0.01). Apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cels were found in al the three groups, but the apoptotic rate was also higher in the sequestered group than in the protruded group and control group (P < 0.01). Expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α was positively correlated with cel apoptosis in human lumbar nucleus pulposus (P < 0.01). Overal, the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor1α in degenerative human lumbar nucleus pulposus is associated with herniated types, which is the highest in the sequestered type. The relationship between hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and apoptosis is positive.

BACKGROUND:Endogenous hydrogen sulfide can be used as a new gaseous signaling molecule, and has important signal transfer function and biological regulation effects. OBJECTIVE:To study the neuroprotective effects of hydrogen sulfide in rats with acute cauda equina syndrome. METHODS: The 72 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups. Experimental group, model group: laminectomy was performed at the lumbar 4 (L4) level of the vertebra, and a piece of silicone (10 mm long, 1 mm thick, and 1 mm wide) was placed under the laminae of the L5-6 vertebra to produce the animal model of cauda equina syndrome. Sham surgery group: a simple laminectomy was performed in L4, but silicone was not implanted. In the experimental group, 20 μmol/kg NaHS was injected intraperitonealy at 1 hour before model establishment. Model and sham surgery groups: an equal volume of saline was injected intraperitonealy. At 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after model establishment, malonaldehyde and glutathione levels in cauda equina nerve tissue were detected. Simultaneously, hematoxylin-eosin staining and TUNEL staining were performed at 48 hours. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining demonstrated that cauda equina nerve tissue was dense and regular, with complete myelin sheath, no axon sweling in the sham surgery group. Cauda equina nerve tissue was sparse, with the presence of demyelination, and partial axons and myelin sheath sweling in the model group. Cauda equina nerve tissue was tight, with axonal sweling and demyelination in the experimental group. TUNEL staining demonstrated that the number of positive cels was less in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia in the sham surgery group. Abundant positive cels were detected in the spinal cord and dorsal root ganglia in the model group. The number of positive cels was significantly lower in the experimental group than that in the model group. Malonaldehyde levels were lower in the sham surgery and experimental groups than in the model group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), but glutathione levels were higher than model group (P < 0.05,P < 0.01). These results indicated that hydrogen sulfide could decrease oxidative stress and protect cauda equina nerve in rats with acute cauda equina syndrome.
