Objective To evaluate the clinical and endocrine effectiveness of different laser doses for ultrasound-guided transvaginal ovarian interstitial laser treatment in patients with polyeystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods Between January 2005 and July 2007, 56 women with clomifene citrate-resistant PCOS selected from the patients who were referred to Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital with a request for fertility underwent ultrasound-guided transvaginal ovarian interstitial laser treatment. All subjects were randomly divided into four groups of A, B, C and D. In group A, one coagulation point per ovary was done and group B, two points; group C, three points; group D, four to five points. The size of each point was about 10 mm in diameter (the electrical laser was projected persistently for 1-3 min with a power of 3-5 W) . The serum sexual hormone level, ovulation rate and pregnancy rate within six postoperative months were compared among the four groups. Results (1) The spontaneous ovulation rates of groups A (0) and B (21%) within six postoperative months were significantly lower than groups C (71%, P <0.05) and D (79%, P<0.01). The accumulative pregnancy rates of group C (43%) and D(36%) for six postoperative months were significantly higher than group A(0; P <0.01 ,P <0.05). Although they were also higher than that of group B, no statistical significance was found (P>0.05). (2) No statistically significant differences were found among four groups when various preoperative hormone values were compared (P>0.05). The mean serum luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone level and LH/ follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio was significantly lower postoperatively in groups C [(6.3±2. 6) U/L, (2.2±0.7) nmol/L, 1.1±0.3] and D [(5.8±2.5) U/L, (2.1±0.4) nmol/L, 1.0±0.4] than in groups A [(11.9±3.1)U/L,(3.9±1.6)nmol/L,2.1±0.5] and B [(10.4±3.9)U/L,(3.3±1.1) nmol/L, 2. 0±0.6],respectively(P<0.05). The mean LH, testosterone level and LH/FSH ratio reduced more obviously in groups C (42%,39% and 42% ) and D(53% , 40% and 58% ) than in groups A (4%, 9% and 16%)and B(11%, 6% and 5%;P<0. 05). All above-mentioned parameters between groups C and D had no statistical significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusions One and two intracvarian laser coagulation points per ovary are associated with poor results. Three points per ovary seem to represent the plateau of effective dose for the ovarian interstitial laser treatment. Increasing the dose above it does not improve the outcome.

Objective To understand the characteristics and trends of clinical epidemiology of colorectal cancer in recent years.Methods The data of 849 patients with colorectal cancer confirmed by pathology in Hongqi Hospital of Mudanjiang Medical College and Cancer Hospital of Mudanjiang City from January 2010 to December 2015 were collected and analyzed by chi square test and variance analysis.Results In recent years,the patients with colorectal cancer were aging (F~ =2.471,P ＜ 0.05).Though the elderly (＞ 60 years old) people were the main population (65.6 ％,557/849),the young (＜ 40 years old) patients with colorectal cancer still accounted for 3.5 ％ (30/849).The rectum was the most common site where the carcinoma arose (56.54 ％,480/849).There was a significant difference between male and female patients in the location and pathological type of tumor (x2 =10.294,P =0.006;x2 =10.468,P =0.015).The incidence of left and right colon was increased [20.02 ％ (170/849) and 23.44 ％ (199/849),x2 =29.023,P =0.004],and the proportion of adenocarcinoma was increased (x2 =40.203,P =0.001).Conclusion The number of elderly patients with colorectal cancer in Mudanjiang region of China is increased significantly in recent years.The adenocarcinoma is the most common pathological type,and its incidence is increasing in recent 5 years.Thus healthy education and colorectal cancer prevention should be strengthened.

Objective: To observe the effects of ginaton and nitroglycerin injection on expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and cardioprotective mechanism in rabbits with ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Methods : Twenty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, 5 rabbits being in each group. The model was not replicated in the sham-operated group. Myocardial I/R models were replicated in animals in normal saline, ginatone and nitroglycerin injection groups and were administered with normal saline, ginatone and nitroglycerin injection respectively 0.5 hour before ischemia. Western blot was used to measure HSP70 of ischemia and non-ischemia myocardium and the expression of HSP70 was analyzed semiquantitatively . Serum nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA) contents and total superoxide dismutase (TCD*2SOD) , creatine kinase (CK) activity were measured. Results: HSP70 was less expressed in sham-operated group and more expressed in normal saline group, ginaton group and nitroglycerin injection group. Expression of HSP70 of ischemia and non-ischemia myocardium in normal saline group was 2.5CD*2 and 2.1CD*2fold, in ginaton group 17.6CD*2 and 20.7CD*2fold and in nitroglycerin group 28.1CD*2 and 29.1CD*2fold to that in the shamCD*2operated group, respectively. The activity of TCD*2SOD was lower while MDA and CK levels were higher in the normal saline group than those in the sham-operated group (all P

Objective To evaluate the effect of therapeutic communication on negative emotion and quality of life of stoke patients. Methods A total of 120 stroke patients were divided into the control group and the observation group equally. The former received routine nursing and the latter routine nursing plus therapeutic communication. After 4 weeks, they were evaluated by self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depressive scale (SDS), trait coping style questionnaire (TCSQ) and the short-form health survey-36 (SF-36). Results After the intervention, the scores on anxiety, depression and negative coping in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01), while the scores on positive coping and quality of life were higher in the observation group than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Therapeutic communication can effectively improve stroke patients′negative emotion and quality of life.

Objective To conduct comparative study on the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects as well as the acute toxicity of yunaconitine and 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine isolated from the processed products of Aconiti Knsnezoffii Radix.Methods The methods of hot plate test and writhing test were used to evaluate the analgesic effect. Anti-inflammation action was observed by the models of auricle swelling caused by dimethylbenzene. LD50 was determined by the method of Bliss.Results Yunaconitine and 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine have analgesia effect on the pain caused by hot-plate, but there were no statistically significant difference. The pain caused by acetic acid had obvious analgesic action. High and low dose of yunaconitine could significantly reduce the number of mice body torsion and extend the incubation period of pain in mice. The effect of 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine was remarkable only in the high dose. Compared with solvent group, there were little differences in inhibiting effect of auricle swelling caused by dimethylbenzene, and anti-inflammatory action was not exact. The poisonousness of yunaconitine was nearly 20 times of 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine.Conclusion Yunaconitine and 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine may be the analgesic medicine for peripheral analgesic effect. The poisonousness of 8-deacetyl-yunaconitine is less than yunaconitine, the effect is remarkable to the pain caused by acetic acid, and the security is high.

Objective To study cutaneous ultrastructural changes and FERMT1 gene mutations in a patient with Kindler syndrome. Methods Clinical data were collected, and tissue samples obtained from the lesions of poikiloderma were observed by using transmission electron microscopy. Fifteen coding exons and their flanking sequences of the FERMT1 gene were amplified by PCR and DNA sequencing was followed.Results Reduplication of lamina densa was seen between the dermal-epidermal junctions of the lesional skin. The patient was found to be homozygous for a novel splice-site mutation (IVS9 + 1G ＞ A) in FERMT1 gene, and his parents were heterozygous for it. The mutation was undetected in fifty normal control individuals.Conclusions Transmission electron microscopy may serve as an ancillary examination for the diagnosis of Kindler syndrome. The IVS9+1G＞A mutation of FERMT1 gene may contribute to the clinical phenotype of Kindler syndrome in this patient.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the regulation of atropine to the expression and secretion of TGF-beta2 in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells by observing the changes of those under different treatments of atropine and carbachol. METHODS: D407 cells were cultured conventionally and divided into 4 groups as follows: (1) An experimental group (Group A), cells were pretreated with 10(-4)-10(-8) mol/L atropine for 30 min, and then treated with 10(-5) mol/L carbachol; (2) a negative control group (Group B), cells were treated with 10(-4)-10(-8) mol/L atropine; (3) a positive control group (Group C), cells were treated with 10(-5) mol/L carbachol; (4) a blank control group (Group D). The concentration of TGF-beta2 in the supernate, and the level of TGF-beta2 mRNA and protein were measured by ELISA, RT-PCR, and Western blot after the 24-hour treatment. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance. RESULTS: The levels of TGF-beta2 mRNA and protein in the cytoplasm and the concentration of TGF-beta2 in the supernate in the experimental groups were lower than those of the positive control group. Atropine at 10-4 mol/L could completely inhibit the effect of carbachol at 10-5 mol/L. The effect of atropine was concentration-dependent (F=1,056.897,1,320.170, and 475.657; P<0.001). There was no change of TGF-beta2 level in the cytoplasm and supernate with the treatment of atropine alone (P>0.05). CONCLUSION Carbachol can promote the expression and secretion of TGF-beta2 in human RPE cells and atropine could reverse it effectively, suggesting that M receptor may be involved.
