Objective To compare the clinical effect of preserving the ascending uterine artery in laparoscopic hysterectomy with traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy.Methods 112 patients with various kinds of uterine benign lesions performed by hysterectomy were randomly divided into the preserving the ascending uterine artery in laparoscopic hysterectomy group(observation group,n =60) and traditional laparoscopic hysterectomy group (control group,n =52),The operation time,the intra operative blood loss,the postoperative complications rate and the perimenopausal symptoms in two groups were compared as well as the levels of blood calcium and the levels of hormone before operation,the first month,the sixth month,the first year,and the third year after operation.Results The opreration time [(95.5 ± 22.8) win] and intraoperative blood soss [(81.3 ± 11.6) ml] of the observation group was more than those of the control group [(68.8 ± 7.2) ml] (t =3.772,4.418,all P ＜ 0.05).The postoperative abnormal uniation and defection (1.7％) and fever incidence (1.7％) of the observation group was lower than those of the control group (11.5 ％,13.5 ％) (x2 =4.623,5.843,all P ＜ 0.05).The estradiol level of the observation group began to fall in 6 months postoperative,and had significant differences compare with those of the control group 6 months,1 year,3 years after operation [(328.4 ± 13.4) pmol/L vs (304.8 ± 15.2) pmol/L,(311.3 ± 12.9) pmol/L vs (248.5 ±13.6)pmol/L,(258.3 ± 11.4)pmol/L vs (138.7 ± 12.7)pmol/L] (t =8.758,25.121,52.688,all P ＜0.05).There was significant difference in the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) between the two groups 1,3 years after operation(t =-90.540,-123.229,-14.757,-19.845,all P ＜ 0.01).There was significant difference in the level of calcium between the two groups 1,3 years after operation(t =3.261,3.050,all P ＜0.05).The perimenopausal symptoms of the observation group was less than those of the control group(x2 =6.142,3.471,4.976,6.646,4.633,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic hysterectomy of preserving the ascending uterine artery is safe and reliable;the recently ovarian function of the patients with hysterectomy is to maximize the preservation in the treatment,the women's quality of life will be to improved.

Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol on miRNA-106b in Alzheimer′s disease ( AD ) animal model.Methods Fifty Kunming male mice were divided into five groups by completely randomized block sampling.The five groups included three dosage resveratrol groups , an AD model group and a control group.The AD models were established in one month prior to treatments. Subsequently, from the 31st day various doses of resveratrol were provided intragastricly for 60 days.Then the memory function was observed by the step-down test.Meanwhile, the varying expressions of APP , P62, ApoA1, miRNA-106b, ABCA1 were tested in each group to determine whether there is the binding site for miRNA-106b in APP 3′UTR sequence.Results Compared with the control group by step-down test, the memory function of the AD model group mice decreased in different degree , which in the drug treatment group was higher than that in the model group (P<0.05).Compared with the AD group, the expression of APP (1.131 ±0.035) in the drug treatment group was higher than that in the model group (0.652 ± 0.026), while the P62 (0.412 ±0.022) and ApoA1 (0.534 ±0.032) were lower than the model group ( all P<0.05 ).High and medium dose groups of resveratrol treatment reduced varying degrees of APP (0.733 ±0.018,0.929 ±0.019,F=177.733) levels, and increased P62(0.954 ±0.035,0.633 ±0.015, F=434.5 ) and ApoA1 ( 1.042 ±0.051, 0.824 ±0.034, F=286.582 ) levels ( all P<0.05 ).The expression of miRNA-106b (0.464 ±0.313) and ABCA1(0.293 ±0.042) in the model group was lower than that in the control group (miRNA-106b 1.064 ±0.032, F=238.159; ABCA1 0.781 ±0.027,F=341.61;both P<0.05).The miRNA-106b (0.843 ±0.034, 0.601 ±0.012) and ABCA1 (0.882 ± 0.025, 0.624 ±0.036) levels in the high, medium dose resveratrol treatment groups increased to different extent ( both P<0.05 ).After the drug treatment , luciferase reporter vector experiments showed that the APP 3′UTR sequence contains the binding site of miRNA-106b.Conclusions APP is one of the target genes of miRNA-106b.Resveratrol is capable of improving AD by enhancing the expression of miRNA-106b and down-regulating the target genes including APP , P62 and ApoA1.This provides a new theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of AD.

Aim To establish the rat model of Spleen-Qi deficiency, analyse the metabolic pathways and investigate the connection between the changed urinary metabolites and Spleen-Qi deficiency, in order to explore the potential mechanisms of Spleen-Qi deficiency.Methods With the binding methods of diarrhea induced by bitter and cold, abnormal of starvation and excessive tiredness, the rat Spleen-Qi deficiency model was established.Then the activity of creatine phosphokinase(CPK) was detected.The endogenous metabolites in the urine were detected by NMR, and the data were analyzed with multivariate and statistical methods.Then the metabolites were selected that could be clearly distinct in the two groups with the fold change value(>1.2) and the P<0.05 of Student′s t-test.Both the pathway analysis and enrichment analysis were performed with Metabo Analyst 3.0.Results Compared with the normal rats, the activity of CPK decreased significantly in model rats(P<0.05).A significant separation appeared in the principal components analysis(PCA) score plot when the control group and the model group were compared, indicating that the Spleen-Qi deficiency model was successfully duplicated.The 33 differential metabolites, which mainly involved in the metabolic pathways, were distinguished from the comparision of Spleen-Qi deficiency model group and control group.The metabolic pathways was related to energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, nucleotide metabolism and disturbance of gut microbes.Conclusions The main energy metabolic pathways (tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycolysis and liquid oxidation) may be disturbed in Spleen-Qi deficiency rats.The energy supply function is suppressed, which leads to the fatigue and weight loss in rats.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the differences in the clinical effects on cervical spondylosis with neck pain between the grain-moxibustion combined with acupuncture and simple acupuncture. METHODS: Eighty-eight cervical spondylosis patients with neck pain who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 44 cases in each one. The patients in the control group were treated with conventional acupuncture, and grain-moxibustion was applied on the basis treatment of the control group in the observation group. The treatment was given 3 times a week, once every other day, 10 times as one course, and followed up after 6 months. Northwick Park neck pain inventory (NPQ) and the McGill pain questionnaire (MPQ) of the two groups before and after treatment and 6 months follow-up were observed. The clinical efficacy was compared. RESULTS: After one course of treatment in both groups, the effective rate was 84.1% (37/44) in the control group and 86.4% (38/44) in the observation group; after 6 months follow-up, the effective rate was 79.5% (35/44) in the control group, and 81.8% (36/44) in the observation group. There was no significant difference in overall efficacy between the two groups (both >0.05). Compared before treatment, the NPQ scores and MPQ scores were decreased at the end of one course of treatment and after 6 months follow-up in the two groups (all <0.05). There was no significant difference in NPQ scores and MPQ scores between the two groups after one course of treatment (both >0.05), but the NPQ scores and MPQ scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group after 6 months follow-up (both <0.05). CONCLUSION The immediate efficacy of grain-moxibustion combined with acupuncture for cervical spondylosis with neck pain is similar to that of simple acupuncture, however, the long-term curative effect is better.
