Objective To investigate the characteristic of rotavirus(RV) molecular epidemiology among infants and young children with nosoeomial diarrhea in Shanghai area. Methods Two hundred and twenty-six stool specimens collected from inpatients with nosocomial diarrhea from November 2006 to January 2008 were measured by colloidal gold assay and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The positive samples were typed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients. The data were shown with constituent ratio and positive detection rate. The analysis was done by using t test. Results RV was detected in 108 of 226 specimens (47.8%) by colloidal gold assay. The incidence was highest in infants younger than one year old. Neonatal cases with RV accounted for 32.4 % of all RV nosocomial infections recruited. The peak seasons were October and November. RV serotyping in 67 cases older than 1 year old by nested PCR showed that G3 was predominant and accounted for 46.3%, followed by G1 (23.9%), G2 (3.0%), G9 (1.5%), seven cases were coinfections with G1 and G3 (10.40%) and 10 couldn't be typed. Based on P typing, P [8] was predominant genotype with 90.0%, P[4] accounted for only 6.0% and 3 couldn't be typed. P[6], P[9] and P[10] haven't been detected. G3P[8] was the maior isolates which accounted for 61.2%, followed by G1P[8] (17.9 %), G1 and G3P[8] coinfection accounted for 9.5%. Two cases were infected with G2P[4] and G8P[9], respectively. Ten out of 32 neonatal specimens were typed successfully which were G1P [8]. Nosocomial RV diarrhea resulted in prolonged hospital stay and increased medical cost. Conclusions RV is the major etiological agent of nosoeomial diarrhea among infants and young children in Shanghai area. G3P[8] is the predominant serotype. And the outbreak of G1 epidemic strain infection should be monitored.

In this study, serum adiponectin and resistin levels were determined in 46 patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and their correlation with serum sexual hormones and insulin resistance (IR) were examined. The subjects included 26 obese patients with body mass index (BMI)>25 and 20 non-obese patients with BMI[Symbol: see text]25, with 25 obese and 25 non-obese healthy volunteers without PCOS serving as controls. Serum adiponectin and resistin levels in all subjects were measured, and endocrinal and metabolic indices were also analysed. Our results showed that the serum adiponectin levels in both obese and non-obese PCOS groups were significantly lower than their controls, while the serum resistin levels in obese and non-obese PCOS group were significantly higher than in their controls (P<0.001). The serum adiponectin level was significantly lower and serum resistin level significantly higher in the non-obese PCOS group as compared with the obese control group (P<0.05). Serum adiponectin level was negatively correlated with FIN, HOMA-IR, LH and LH/FSH (P<0.05), but serum resistin level was positively correlated with FIN, HOMA-IR, LH and LH/FSH (P<0.05). We are led to conclude that PCOS patients have obvious IR, low serum adiponectin and high serum resistin, and adiponectin and resistin might play important roles in the pathogenesis of IR in PCOS patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of uterine artery chemoembolization (UACE) and uterine artery embolization (UAE) with subsequent curettage in treating cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP). Methods A total of 79 patients with clinically-confirmed CSP were randomly divided into two groups:group A (UACE group,n=43) and group B (UAE group,n=36). Patients in each group were subdivided into two subgroups: endogenous type subgroup and exogenous type subgroup. Interventional management (UACE for group A and UAE for group B) with subsequent curettage was carried out in all patients of both groups. The amount of blood loss during curettage, the recovered time of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) level, the twice treatment rate and the success rate of treatment were measured and were used as the therapeutic evaluation parameters. The results were compared between group A and group B as well as between the subgroups. Results After UACE or UAE, the uterine dilation and curettage was successfully accomplished in all patients of both groups. Hysterectomy was not needed in all patients. Statistically significant differences in the recovered time of HCG level, occurrence of complications and the twice treatment rate existed between the two groups (P<0.05). The endogenous type of cesarean scar pregnancy in group A and group B was confirmed in 28 cases and 25 cases respectively, and the success rate of treatment for them was 100% (28/28) and 96.0% (24/25) respectively (P>0.05). The exogenous type of cesarean scar pregnancy in group A and group B was proved in 15 cases and 11 cases respectively, and the success rate of treatment for them was 86.7%(13/15) and 45.5%(5/11) respectively (P<0.05). The differences in postoperative vaginal bleeding time, the menstrual recovery time, the recovered time of HCG level, the twice treatment rate and the success rate of treatment between the two exogenous type subgroups were statistically significant (P<0.05 in all). Conclusion For the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy, both UAE and UACE with subsequent curettage are safe and effective. For the treatment of endogenous type of CSP, it is better to use UAE, while for the treatment of exogenous type of CSP, it is better to use UACE.
