Objective To observe the value of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound (TVCDU) in the diagnosis of endo-metrial lesions.Methods All 246 patients suspected of endometrial diseases underwent TVCDU and transabdominal ultra-sonography.Ultrasonographic characteristics,especially the uterine endometrial thickness and blood flow distribution were observed,and the results were compared with surgery and pathological results.Results A total of 242 patients were pathologically diagnosed as endometrial diseases.TVCDU diagnosed 232 cases,with the diagnostic accordance rate of 95.87%.Transabdominal ultrasonography diagnosed 182 cases,with the diagnostic accordance rate of 75.21%.TVCDU was superior to transabdominal color Doppler examination (P<0.05).Conclusion TVCDU has high diagnosis accordance rate and can be used as routine examination of endometrial diseases.

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels are a kind of pluripotent stem cels that have the potential of self-renewal and proliferation, and have low immunogenicity and immunomodulatory role. OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels on T cel immune status of alergic rhinitis mouse models.
METHODS:Sixty mice were randomly assigned into six groups (sensitized/chalenged/treatment): experimental group 1 was given ovalbumin/ovalbumin/high-dose adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels, experimental group 2 given ovalbumin/ovalbumin/low-dose adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels, experimental group 3 given ovalbumin/ovalbumin/PBS, experimental group 4 given ovalbumin/ovalbumin/0, and experimental group 5 given PBS/PBS/0, and normal control group given no treatment. In the former five groups, intraperitoneal injection of 200 μL ovalbumin sensitizing solution or PBS was conducted for basic sensitization at days 0, 7, 14; 20 μL ovalbumin chalenging solution or PBS was given for chalenging at days 15-19. In the former three groups, 0.1 mL of high-dose, low-dose adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels or PBS was givenviathe tail vein, respectively, at days 20-22 after sensitization and chalenge. At 48 hours after final treatment, ELISA was used to detect serum levels of interleukin-4, interleukin-6, interleukin-10 and interferon-γ, and fluorogenic quantitative PCR used to detect the mRNA expressions of these cytokines in the spleen. Migration of fluorescent-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels in the nasal mucosa was observed under fluorescence microscope, and pathological changes of the nasal mucosa were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the experimental group 4, the levels of interleukin-4 and interleukin-6 in the serum and spleen were significantly lower in the experimental group 1 (P< 0.05), and the levels of interluekin-10 and interferon-γ levels were significantly increased (P <0.05); while in the experimental group, the levels of interleukin-6 were reduced significantly (P < 0.05), the levels of interleukin-10 was increased significantly (P< 0.05), but no changes were found in the levels of interleukin-4 and interferon-γ (P> 0.05). Fluorescent-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels could migrate into the nasal mucosa, and the number of migrated cels was notably higher in the experimental group 1 than experimental group 2. Eosinophil infiltration in the nasal mucosa was remarkably aleviated in the experimental groups 1 and 2. These findings suggest that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels play a non-specific immunomodulatory effect dose-dependently by regulating Th1/Th2 immune imbalances and deficiencies of Treg cels.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of short segment of unilateral laminectomy decompression of intervertebral bone graft fusion with pedicle screw fixation in treatment of lumbar spine instability.Methods 100 cases with lumbar instability were randomly divided into the study group and control group with 50 cases in each group,the study group was treated with short segment of unilateral laminectomy decompression of intervertebral bone graft fusion with pedicle screw fixation for treatment,while the control group was treated with conventional methods of treatment.The intraoperative,postoperative situation and clinical efficacy of the two groups were observed and compared.Results The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,drainage,hospital stay and cost of hospitalization of the study group were (121.31 ± 13.73) min,(151.24 ± 24.65) mL,(35.34 ± 6.79) mL,(12.03 ± 3.22) d and (22 012.23 ± 3 018.67)yuan respectively,which were significantly lower than those of the control group[(161.32 ± 11.60) min,(201.32 ± 25.46) mL,(102.35 ± 11.87) mL,(19.42 ± 4.31) d and (26 278.65 ± 3 216.53) yuan] (t =9.829,10.829,7.984,10.983,9.593,all P ＜0.05).The excellent and good rate of the study group was 92％,which was significantly higher than 70％ of the control group (x2 =13.927,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Short segment of unilateral laminectomy decompression of intervertebral bone graft fusion has a high curative effect in the treatment of lumbar instability,with short operation time and hospitalization time,less blood loss and postoperative drainage volume,low medical cost,which is a good operation scheme.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy and safety of solifenacin in the treatment of patients with bladder spasm after transurethral resection of prostate based on current evidence.Methods We searched Pubmed,EMbase,the Cochrane Library,CBM,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang Database from the establishment to October 2016 for the published literature on the treatment of patients with bladder spasm after transurethral resection of prostate with solifenacin.Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies.Then,meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results A total of 11 RCTs involving 621 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that:compared with the no-solifenacin group(n=311),the numbers of bladder spasm episodes[MD=-1.38,95%CI(-1.97,-0.97)P<0.00001],duration of bladder spasm[MD=-0.26,95%CI(-0.41,-0.11),P=0.0008],the time of bladder perfusion clearance[MD=-0.59,95%CI(-0.88,-0.29),P<0.0001],indwelling catheter delivery[MD=-0.29,95%CI(-0.48,-0.11),P=0.09]in solifenacin group(n=310) reduced significantly,and there was no statistical difference in the incidence of overall adverse events between the two groups[RR=0.71,95%CI(0.17,2.98),P=0.64].Conclusion Current evidence indicates that solifenacin is more effective and safe in the treatment of patients with bladder spasm after transurethral resection of prostate.Due to the limited quantity and quality of the include studies,more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

Objective To compare the curative effects and safety of mirtazapine and fluoxetine in treatment of elderly depressive patients with insomnia.Methods 92 cases of elderly depressive patients with insomnia were randomly divided into two groups: the mirtazapine treatment group and the fluoxetine treatment group. The period of treatment was six weeks. The antidepressant effect was assessed with the drop rate of Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD),the effect of improving sleep was assessed with HAMD sleep disturbance factor and the Pittsburgh Sleep Index (PSQI), and the administration of security was assessed with vice Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS).Results After treatment, the effective rate of the mirtazapine group was 90.9% (40/44), that of the fluoxetine group was 84.1% (37/44). In the end of 1st, 2nd, and 4th weeks after treatment, the difference between the two groups were significant (P<0.001). At the end of 6th week, the difference was not significant (P>0.05) in HAMD; the difference was significant in HAMD sleep disturbance factor and PSQI score (P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical effects of mirtazapine in treatment of depression are similar to that of fluoxetine, but mirtazapine takes effects fast, can improve the symptoms of insomnia, has higher safety and better compliance, and is more appropriate for the depressive elderly patients with insomnia than fluoxetine.

AIM:To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on acute lung injury induced by H9N2 swine influenza virus ( SIV) in mice.METHODS: BALB/c mice were used to establish the animal model of acute lung injury by nasal inoculation of H9N2 SIV.The mice were divided into control group (without SIV infection), H9N2 SIV group (inoculation of H9N2 SIV) and NAC group (inoculation of H9N2 SIV plus pretreatment with NAC).The pulmonary edema was evaluated by determining the lung wet weight /dry weight ( W/D) ratio.The pathological changes of the lung tis-sues were observed .The concontrations of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) were meas-ured.The virus titer, T-SOD activity, MPO activity and MDA content in the homogenate of the lung tissues were detected . RESULTS:Treatment with NAC decreased the morality of infected mice , and significantly prolonged the survival time of infected mice .The pathological changes of the lung tissues , the lung W/D ratio and the lung index were relieved when SIV infected the mice treated with NAC .Treatment with NAC significantly decreased the infiltration of inflammatory cells inclu-ding macrophages, lymphocytes and neutrophils in the BALF .The levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1βand MDA and the activity of MPO were also decreased.Treatment with NAC also significantly increased the T-SOD activity.CONCLUSION: The protective effect of NAC on the acute lung injury mouse model is related to suppression of the oxidative stress and inflamma -tory responses .

Objective To provide the basis for the differentiation with similar species of intestinal flukes through observing the figure of Haplorchis pumilio. Methods Adults of H. pumilio were collected from the intestine of the cat which was infected with the encysted cercariae of H.pumilio for 45 days. The worms were observed after staining. Eggs and metacercariae of H.pumilio were collected and examined for their shape, size and morphological characteristics. Pseudorasbora parva, the fish host, was examined for the parasitized sites of metacercariae. Results The principal characteristics of the adults is the acetabulum degradation. There are only the genital sucker with 44-48 hamuli. The average measurement of eggs is 31.2?16.7 ?m with a smooth shell. Its aceromion is not evident. The average diameter of metacercariae is 168.5 ?m. There are squamous spines on metacercaria. The metacercariae only parasitize in the muscle between the basis of the fin and the fish body. The average measurement of metacercaria cyst is 445?95?m, with squamous spines on the body surface. Hamuli are found on the genital sucker of metacercaria cyst. Conclusion The morphological figures and parasitic sites of metacercaria, the genital sucker of the adult, and the number and form of the hamulus on the genital sucker provide basis for distinguishing H. pumilio from other intestinal flukes.

Objective To study the distribution and expression of Semaphorins-3A protein in brain of postnatal rats.Methods Semaphorins-3A positive cells were observed by immunohistochemistry in the cerebral cortex,hippocampus,dentate gyms and entorhinal cortex in postnatal 0d,7d,14d,21 d and 28d of Sprague Dawley rats.Results Semaphorins-3A positive cells widely distributed in the granule cell layer ( Ⅱ ),external pyramidal cell layer ( Ⅲ ),internal granular cell layer ( Ⅳ ),pyramidal cell layer ( Ⅴ ) and layer of polymorphous cells ( Ⅵ ),in addition to the molecular layer ( Ⅰ ) of the parietal,occipital,frontal,temporal,insular,cingulate cortex,piriform cortex and entorhinal cortex with postnatal 0d,7d,14d,21d and 28d rats.The amount of semaphorins-3A positive cells(IOD) in the entorhinal cortex was 84916.23 ± 3266.34 in P0d,77711.41 ± 2634.26 in P7d,74124.25 ± 3989.09 in P14d,65887.63 ± 3406.57 in P21d and 57705.96 ± 3136.35 in P28d,meanwhile the region of semaphorins-3A positive cells narrowed in the part level with Ⅱ -Ⅵ levels of cortex.Similarly semaphorins-3A positive cells distributed mainly in granule cell layer of dentate gyrus,CA1,CA3 region and only a few of semaphorins-3A positive cells scattered in the multi-line layer in hippocampus.The expression level of semaphorins-3Awas significant difference among postnatal 0d,7d,14d,21d and 28d rats (P＜0.01).Conclusion Semaphorins-3A positive cells widely distribute in the various cortex and hippocampus in developing rat brain,and the region of semaphorins-3A is reduced with age growth of rats.

ObjectiveTo observe Semaphorins-3A and synaptophysin P38 expression in hippocampus of developing rat induced by status epilepticus.Methods 320 SD rats were divided into four groups (P7,P14,P21 and P28) according to day -old after birth (7d,14d,21d and 28d).Rats in each group were randomly divided into model group (SE group) and saline control group (NS group).SE was induced by Pentylenetetrazol (PTZ).Semaphorins-3A and synaptophysin P38 expression were determined by immunohistochemical staining on 1d,7d,14d,21d and 28d after SE in hippocampal CA1 of rats.ResultsSemaphorins-3A-positive cells could be seen in the hippocampal granule cell layer in all rats.Semaphorins-3A expression tended to decrease with the increasing of day-age,especially in P7 group(91 552.68 ± 4664.69 ).No matter how day-age,Semaphorins-3A expression was similar to that in NS group and was obvious reduced in 7d after SE(56 938.84 ± 5688.47 ).Meanwhile P38 expression in P7-day-age rats had had been gradually increasing between 1 day and 14d (5413.18 ±48.77,6223.40±29.19,6902.94 ±78.51 ) and then stabilized gradually on 21d(7523.42 ± 62.94) after rats were tested.P38 expression in other day-age rat was relatively stable on the same level in physiological state.On the other hand P38 expression in the hippocampal CA1 region of P7,P14,P21 and P28 rats was significantly higher than that in normal rats between 1day and 28day after SE episode(P＜ 0.05 ),and reached a peak on 14 day(8408.35 ± 55.73 ).ConclusionSemaphorins-3A and synaptophysin P38 involved in hippocampal synaptic plasticity of rat in developing stage and epilepsy.

Objective To observe neural stem cells proliferation,migration and differentiation in hippocampus in developing rats with status epileptictus.Methods 320 healthy SD rats at age 7,14,21,28 d (P7,P14,P21,P28) were randomly divided into status epilepticus (SE) and normal control group.In each group those rats at the same age were further randomly divided into 1,7,14,21,28 d five time points after PTZ-induced SE (n =8).New cell proliferation and migration were observed by immunohistochemistry studies in the dentate gyms.Double labeling with Brdu/NeuN and Brdu/GFAP was performed in the P14 rats.Results Nestin positive cells appeared in the dentate gyms on 1 d after SE in P7,P14,P21,P28 rats.The number of nestin positive cells gradually increased on 7 d and reached a peak on 14 d,then gradually reduced on 21 d,finally fell to a minimum on 28 d after SE.The numbers of nestin positive cells on 7 d(177.00 ± 3.22,t =16.033) and 14 d (195.00 ± 3.41,t =28.840) were significantly higher in the SE group than the NS group (147.50 ± 2.08,136.50 ± 2.65,both P ＜ 0.05).The smaller age of rats with SE onset,the greater the nestin intensity.But the number of nestin positive cells in the dentate gyrus of normal rats were gradually decreased with increasing age.Nestin positive cells were distributed in subgranular zone of dentate gyrus on 1 d and 7 d after SE,then gradually migrated to the granule cell layer on 14 d with morphological changes.Small part of nestin positive cells were ectopically migrated to the hilus of dentate gyrus in P14,P21,P28 age rats,and were also seen in the CA1,CA3 of hippocampus and cortex with various cell morphology.For differentiation of newly generated cells,most of Brdu positive cells coexpressed NeuN and about 4％-5％ cells co-expressed GFAP.Conclusions SE could induce neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus area in developing rats which has age-related characteristics.Most new cells migrate from the subgranular zone to the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus,and a small number of newly generated cells ectopically migrated to the hilus of dentate.The majority of newly generated cells differentiate into neurons,and the others differentiate into glial.
