Objective To study the clinical efficacy of intra-arterial thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease caused by cerebral thrombosis. Methods A total of 245 patients accepted by our hospital during May 2013 and July 2015 were divided into the observation group (n=148) and the control group (n=97). All patients were given conventional process for controling blood pressure and blood lipids. Patients in observation group received intra-arterial thrombolysis with rt-PA, while patients in control group accepted conventional treatment. At the time of admission, the demographic characteristic, vascular influencing factors, baseline clinical findings, laboratory findings and neurological deficits were collected. The improvement of neurological function was evaluated by the modified Rankin scale 3 months after treatment. The levels of fibrinogen (FIB), D-Dimer, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (PT) were measured before and 24 h after the treatment. Results There were no significant differences in demographic characteristic and general clinical data between the two groups ( P>0.05). The proportion of patients with improved neurological function was significantly higher in observation group than that of the control group (83.11%vs. 53.61%, P<0.05). There were no significant difference in coagulation index and fibrinolysis index before treatment between the two groups (P>0.05). Twenty-four hours after the treatment, the levels of FIB, D-Dimer, APTT and PT were significantly improved in the observation group compared with those before treatment. The level of FIB was significantly decreased, D-Dimer was significantly increased, APTT and PT were significantly prolonged in observation group compared with those of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The rt-PA can effectively dissolve thrombosis and correct the coagulation system and fibrinolytic system.

Objective To study the desired therapeutic effect of vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon or peritoneum for entire vaginal atre-sia.Methods From May 2015 to October 2015,8 patients with complete vaginal atresia in our hospital performed vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon or peritoneum successfully.The operation methods,prognosis and therapeutic effect and quality of sexual life of two groups were com-pared and analyzed to investigate a perfect operative method and ideal nursing.Results Laparoscopic vaginoplasty using the peritoneum compared with that using sigmoid colon has advantages of shorter time of operation,less bleeding,less trauma and quicker recovery.However, artificial vagina using sigmoid colon was much more similar to a natural vagina in morphological and physiological characteristics,merely ac-companied by excessive mucus discharge during the postoperative period.At lower risk of vaginal adhesion and stenosis,laparoscopically as-sisted vaginoplasty using sigmoid colon graft also puts high technical requirements.Two patients normally developed uterus menstruate regular-ly.Four patients without uterus and 2 patients with rudimentary uterus experienced good sexual intercourse after vaginoplasty.Conclusion Patients with complete colpatresia who have normal womb should creat a patent and functional vagina until adolescence to restore its physio-logical and reproductive function.Anatomical reconstructive treatment of vaginal agenesis for patients with absent or hypoplastic uterus can be postponed till the late teens or in the adult.Both laparoscopic sigmoid vaginoplasty and peritoneal vaginoplasty achieve a minimal-invasive, cosmetic,natural lubricous, smooth artificial vagina for patient’ s sex life satisfactory.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of two different dosages of conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) on preventing bone loss and relieving the symptoms of menopausal syndrome in women at an early stage of menopause.
METHODSA total of 236 postmenopausal women were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: Group A: 0.625 mg CEE + 2 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) + 1 tab Caltrate-D per day; Group B: 0.3 mg CEE + 2 mg MPA + 1 tab Caltrate-D per day; Group C: 1 tab Caltrate-D per day as the control group. The study was continued for 2 years.The following parameters were monitored: (1) L2-4 bone mineral density (BMD) (measured with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEX)), (2) menopausal syndrome improvement (assessed by comparing Kupperman scores), (3) vaginal bleeding rate, and the thickness of the endometrium and breast in each group.
RESULTSOverall, 213 cases (90%) completed the 1-year study and 176 cases (75%) completed the 2-year study. The percentage changes in L2-4 BMD at the 12th and 24th month in Group A were +2.3% and +3.7%, respectively, with the posttreatment values being significantly higher than pretreatment values (P < 0.001). The percentage changes were +2.7% at 12th month (P < 0.05) and +0.7% at 24th month (P > 0.05) in Group B. And that of Group C were -0.4% at 12th month and -1.6% at 24th month (P > 0.05). L2-4 BMD in both Group A and B was significantly higher than that in Group C at 12th and 24th month (A vs C, P < 0.001; B vs C, P < 0.05). Kupperman Scores were significantly reduced after 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months in all 3 groups when compared with baseline (P < 0.001). Scores in Group A and Group B were significantly lower than that in Group C (P < 0.001). However, the vaginal bleeding rates in Group A were significantly higher than that in Group B or in Group C. There was no atypical hyperplasia of endometrium in the 3 groups by the end of the study. One patient in Group A developed superficial thrombophlebitis by the end of 12th month.
CONCLUSIONContinuous combination of CEE and MPA is effective in preventing bone loss and relieving the symptoms of menopausal syndrome in women at an early stage of menopause. The vaginal bleeding rates in the Group treated with 0.625 mg/d CEE were significantly higher than those treated with 0.3 mg/d CEE.
