Objective To study the anatomical relationship between the umbilicus and the retroperitoneal major vessels. Methods A total of 80 female patients undergoing laparoscopy in our department were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to their body mass index (BMI):low-weight group,normal-weight group,overweight group,and obese group. During the operation,the surgeons palpated the abdominal aorta,right common iliac artery,and left common iliac artery with hand to determine their relationship to the umbilicus. The abdominal aortic bifurcation was used as a reference point to determine its position in relation to the umbilicus. Results (1) The bifurcation was above the level of the umbilicus in 17 (21.2%) cases,at the umbilicus level in 29 (36.3%) cases,and below that in 34 (42.5%) cases. Among the four groups,the position of the bifurcation was significantly different (?2=16.769,P=0.010). In the overweight and obese groups,most of the patients had the umbilicus located under the level of the aortic bifurcation [65.0% (13/20) and 75.0% (6/8) respectively],while in the normal-weight group,47.6% (20/42) of the cases had the umbilicus above the aortic bifurcation(P

Objective:To explore coping strategies of college students during exam period. Methods:One hundred and ninety-nine subjects were randomly collected and surveyed with a self-developed questionnaire. The obtained data was analyzed with the principal component factor analysis.Results:It was found that begging sympathy or depending on fantasy, seeking support from relatives and friends, escape and abandon, teamwork and effective time management, and learning and review seriously were six common coping strategies. Students with different levels of stress reactions adopted different strategies. However, only the strategy of teamwork and effective time management was effect in stress coping.Conclusion: Teamwork and effective time management is a practical coping of students during exam period.

Using ovarian cancer cell lines, we studied relationship between C-erbB2 expression and lysis activity of lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK) and in vitro regulation by ?-interferon (IFN-?). The results showed that C-erbB2 overexpression was associated with resistance to lysis activity of LAK in ovarian cancer; IFN-? could reduce the overexpression of C-erbB2 and increase lysis activity of LAK on ovarian cancer cells in which C-erbB2 were overexpressed.

Objective To study the effect of an angiogenesis inhibitor TNP-470 (TNP )used alone and in combination with cytoxan(CTX) in the treatment of human ovarian cancer transplanted s.c. in nude mice. Methods Human ovarian cancer transplanted s.c. in nude mice model was established, then divided into 5 groups: control group, vehicle group, TNP group,CTX group and TNP+CTX group, different treatments were served from day 8 after transplantation and all mice were sacrificed after 28 days. The weights of the mice and the volumes of the tumors were measured respectively during the therapy time. Moreover, microscopy was done after H&E staining. Results The growth inhibiting rates in the TNP and CTX group were 26.1% and 33.9% respectively; After combined, the rate was increased to 70.5%. There were no obvious decrease in the weight of all treated mice. Conclusions Treatment with TNP is an potentially useful method of antitumor therapy in ovarian cancer, although the inhibition effects were not obvious in small doses. Moreover,TNP could enhance the effectiveness of antitumor drug.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of surgical treatment for diabetic retinopathy (DR) with diffuse diabetic macular edema (DDME) and massive subretinal hard exudates (MSHE) with vitrectomy, endolaser photocoagulation to the retina under perfluorocarbon liquid and long acting gas tamponade. Methods Fifteen eyes of twelve patients with DR complicated with DDME and MSHE admitted from October 2001 to December 2003 were enrolled for study, in whom 9 eyes were in 7 males and 6 eyes in 5 females. The patients were aged from 36~65 years (mean 53.4). The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), color fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography were recorded, and optic coherence tomography was performed preoperatively. Pars plana vitrectomy, posterior hyaloid removal, endolaser retinal photocoagulation under perfluorocarbon liquid and long acting gas tamponade were the therapeutic modalities used to treat the diseased eyes. Results Preoperative BCVA was finger counting to 0.05 in all 15 eyes. Improved vision was observed in eyes during 4~25 months of follow up period (mean 10.26 months), 0.03~0.04 in 2 eyes(13.3%), BCVA ≥0.09 in 13 eyes(86.7%), and 1 eye(6.7%)showed an improved vision from 0.04 to 1.0. Significant decrease in macular edema and retinal thickness were observed, and marlsed to complete absorption of intra-retinal and pre-retinal hemorrhage as well as MSHE was also seen. Conclusions Vitrectomy, posterior hyaloid removal, endolaser retinal photocoagulation under perfluorocarbon liquid and long acting gas tamponade may offer satisfactory effects in the treatment for DDME complicated with MSHE.
