The canonical Wnt signaling pathway has been the hot spot in the signaling pathway studies which are related to ovary carcinogenesis in recent years,whose activation may induce the multiplication and self-renewal,survival and metastasis of ovarian cancer stem cells.The target gene mutations of key members in the canonical Wnt pathway and abnormal expresses of negative regulation molecules are closely associated with the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer.Deeply investigating the regulative mechanisms of canonical Wnt signaling pathway in ovarian cancer,and taking this as the therapeutic target to conduct the basic research and preclinical experiment may provide theoretical basis for treating better ovarian cancer patients in clinical practice.

Objectlve To discuss the characters and management of renal sinus tumors. Methods The clinical data of 3 tumors occurring in tenal sinus were reviewed.The first patient was a 33-year-old man with the chief complaint of lumbago in the right side for 6 months.B-ultrasound showed low echo in the right pelvis and CT scan showed that a mass measured about 3.5 cm in diameter in the right kidney collective system.Intravenous urography showed the upper collective system was tompressed.He was diagnosed for renal sinus tumor.The second case was a 34-year-old woman with the chief complaint of sudden lumbago in the right for 3 d.Color ultrasonography found hyperechoic in the right kidney.CT scan showed a mass measured 8 cm×6 cm × 8 cm in the right renal sinus,its CT value was about-70 HU.Intravenous urography showed the lower collective system was compressed.She was diagnosed for renal angiomyolipoma of right kidney.The third case was a 55+year-old woman with the chief complaint of lumbago for 1 year.B ultrasound showed hyperechoic in the leftrenal hilum.CT scan showed a nlass of 8 cm×5 cm×5 am in the left renal sinus with CT value of 50 HU.Intravenous urography showed the collective system of the left kidney was compressed.Mag-netic resonance imaging showed high signal on T1 WI and T2WI but low signal in fat suppression ima-ging.She was diagnosed for lipoma of the left renal sinus. Results All the 3 cases had undergone surgical approaches.The first case underwent surgical exploration of renal sinus tumor.Fast pathologic diagnosis was benign tumor,only the tumor was resected.Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of angioleiomyoma.There was no recurrence during follow-up of 3 years.The second case was scheduled for tumor enucleating,but nephrectomy was perform because of serious bleeding and damaged renal pelvis.Pathological report was angiomyolipoma.The third case was scheduled for lipoma enucleating but nephrectomy was performed because of tumor encapsulated renal pedicle vascular.Pathological report was lipoma.During the follow-up for 4 years there was no relapse. ConclusionsTumors occurred in renal sinus are rare, most of which are benign.CT scan, MRI and intravenous urography are the best imaging examination methods for differential diagnosis.Surgical operation is the major approach, while for the tumor radical nephrectomy less than 4 cm watchful waiting could be a choice.Tumor resection with nephron sparing is feasible while tumor is larger than 4 cm.Radical nephrectomy should performed for the malignant tumor.

The diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous rupture and massive hemorrhage of tuberous sclerosis-related renal hamartoma in a woman in the third trimester are reported. The patient was admitted at 39 weeks of gestation, with threatened labor and a history of bilateral renal hamartoma, which had been hidden. Placental abruption was considered due to persistent lumbago, abdominal pain, abdominal muscle tension, uterine tension and fetal heart rate dropping to 90 bpm, and an emergency cesarean section was performed at 39 +1 weeks. About 200 ml of bloody ascites was found in the peritoneal cavity. A live boy was delivered and no blood clot was seen in the maternal face of the placenta. After the uterine incision was closed, a huge bluish purple mass was detected on the right-side retroperitoneum and the renal angiography showed rupture and hemorrhage of a right renal hamartoma. A selective right renal artery embolization was performed. The patient recovered after the operation and was discharged seven days later required by the family. The patient was in good condition except for hematuria during a 30-day postpartum follow-up, and oral everolimus treatment and regular follow-up were continued. The newborn with a birth weight of 2 355 g was transferred to the neonatology department after birth due to severe asphyxia, and postnatal echocardiography suspected heart rhabdomyoma. The baby had one seizure but was otherwise well, and was discharged after eight days. The seizure did not recur to the neonate after discharge. Clinicians should pay attention to pregnant women with renal hamartoma. If abnormal abdominal distension, hematuria or lumbago occur during pregnancy, rupture of renal hamartoma and possible massive hemorrhage should be considered.

The diaphragm is the main respiratory muscle in the body. The onset detection of the surface diaphragmatic electromyography (sEMGdi) can be used in the respiratory rehabilitation training of the hemiparetic stroke patients, but the existence of electrocardiography (ECG) increases the difficulty of onset detection. Therefore, a method based on sample entropy (SampEn) and individualized threshold, referred to as SampEn method, was proposed to detect onset of muscle activity in this paper, which involved the extraction of SampEn features, the optimization of the SampEn parameters and , the selection of individualized threshold and the establishment of the judgment conditions. In this paper, three methods were used to compare onset detection accuracy with the SampEn method, which contained root mean square (RMS) with wavelet transform (WT), Teager-Kaiser energy operator (TKE) with wavelet transform and TKE without wavelet transform, respectively. sEMGdi signals of 12 healthy subjects in 2 different breathing ways were collected for signal synthesis and methods detection. The cumulative sum of the absolute value of error was used as an judgement value to evaluate the accuracy of the four methods. The results show that SampEn method can achieve higher and more stable detection precision than the other three methods, which is an onset detection method that can adapt to individual differences and achieve high detection accuracy without ECG denoising, providing a basis for sEMGdi based respiratory rehabilitation training and real time interaction.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness, safety and cost between urinary follicle stimulating hormone (uFSH) and recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) in controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) in China.Methods:Data were collected from 16 reproductive centers in China covering oocytes collection time from May 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Eligible patients were over 18 years old, adopting COS with uFSH (uFSH group) or rFSH (rFSH group) as start gonadotropins (Gn), and using in vitro fertilization (IVF) and (or) intracytoplasmic sperm injection for fertilisation, excluding frozen embryo recovery cycle. Generalised estimating equation was used to address the violation of independency assumption between cycles due to multiple IVF cycles for one person and clustering nature of cycles carried out within one center. Controlling variables included age, body mass index, anti-Müllerian hormone level, cause of infertility, ovulation protocol, type of fertilisation, number of embryos transferred, number of days of Gn use.Results:Totally 102 061 cycles met eligibility criteria and were included in the analyses. In terms of effectiveness, after controlling relevant unbalanced baseline characteristics, compared with rFSH group, the high oocyte retrieval (>15 oocytes was considered high retrieval) rate of uFSH group significantly decreased in gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist protocol ( OR=0.642, P<0.01) and in gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol ( OR=0.556, P=0.001), but the clinical pregnancy rate per transfer cycle and the live birth rate per transfer cycle significantly increased ( OR=1.179, OR=1.169, both P<0.01) in both agonist and antagonist protocols. For safety, multiple analysis result demonstrated that in the agonist protocol, compared with rFSH group, the incidence of moderate to severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome of uFSH group significantly decreased ( OR=0.644, P=0.002). The differences in ectopic pregnancy rate and multiple pregnancy rate between the uFSH and rFSH groups were not significant ( P=0.890, P=0.470) in all patients. In terms of cost, compared with rFSH group, the uFSH group had lower total Gn costs for each patient ( P<0.01). Conclusion:For patients who underwent COS, uFSH has better safety, and economic profiles over rFSH in China.
