In order to evaluate the expression of HLA-DR antigen in glandular cells in eutopic and ectopic endometrium in patients with endometriosis, 19 infertile patients with endometriosis were analyzed immunohistochemically by labelled streptavidin biotin (LSAB) method. Nineteen infertile patients without endometriosis were studied as controls. The results showed that the expression of HLA-DR antigen in the glandular cells in both eutopic and ectopic endometrium was increased significantly as compared with that in the controls (P < 0.01). It is likely that aberrant expression of HLA-DR antigen in endometriotic tissue is involved in abnormal immunogenesis of endometriosis.

BACKGROUND:The pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis is stil not very clear, and there is a lack of early diagnosis methods. Because it is more common in middle-aged women, it is suggested that the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis may be closely related to serum estradiol levels in the human body. OBJECTIVE:To explore the correlation between the level of serum estradiol and the severity of osteoarthritis in female patients with knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:Seventy-six female patients with knee osteoarthritis admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from February 2012 to December 2013 were enroled, and divided into premenopause group (n=42) and postmenopause group (n=34). According to Kelgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading, both two groups were subdivided into K-L 0, II and IV groups. The knee function was evaluated with Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Knee Score Standard in USA, the serum estradiol levels were detected with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Then, the correlation analysis was performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The serum estradiol levels of the premenopause group and postmenopause group were decreased significantly with the increase of K-L grade and age (P < 0.05). Under the same K-L grade, the serum estradiol levels in the postmenopausal patients were significantly lower than those in the premenopausal patients. Linear regression analysis showed that there was a negative relationship between age and serum estradiol level (R2=0.222,P < 0.05), and there was a positive correlation between HSS scores and serum estradiol levels (R2=0.415,P < 0.05). The severity of knee osteoarthritis in female patients shows a negative correlation with the level of serum estradiol but a positive correlation with age.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) on heart rhythm and blood pressure variability in primary hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods Ninety seven patients with OSAHS and primary hypertension were randomly divided into treatment group (n =49) and control group (n =48).Patients in control group receive antihypertensive medication only,while patients in treatment group received antihypertensive medication in combination with CPAP therapy for 4 weeks.The dynamic electrocardiogram (ESG) and ambulatory blood pressure for 24 h were measured before and after treatment in both groups.Results After CPAP treatment,the night index of standard deviation of the average NN intervals (SDANNniGHt) in treatment group was (89.0 ± 21.4) ms,while the day and night index of square root of the mean squared differences of successive NN intervals (rMSSDday and rMSSDnight) was (35.9 ± 17.2) ms and (45.7 ± 18.3) ms respectively.Compared with those before treatment,the index of SDANNnight was decreased and the indexes of rMSSDday and rMSSDnight were increased (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with control group,the SDANNnight was decreased,and the rMSSDday and rMSSDnight were increased (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).After CPAP treatment,the night index of low-frequency power (LFnight) in treatment group was (15.3 ± 5.7) ms,which was lower than that before treatment,and the night index of high-frequency power (HFnigh) was (16.3-± 8.1)ms,which was higher than that before treatment (P ＜ 0.01);the LFnight in treatment group was decreased and the HFnight was increased (P ＜ 0.01).After CPAP treatment,the day and night indexes of systolic blood pressure (SBPday and SBPnight) and the night indexes of diastolic blood pressure (DBPnigh) t in treatment group were (136.1 ± 13.4) mmHg,(128.7 ± 9.8) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),and(83.7 ±7.2)mmHg respectivley,which were all lower than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The incidences of morning peak blood pressure and non-dipper hypertension in control group were significantly higher than those in treatment group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion CPAP therapy can effectively adjust the heart rate and blood pressure levels in patients with OSAHS and primary hypertension,especially in the night.

Objective To investigate the clinical curative effect and the influence on knee joint function of knee osteoarthritis treating with sodium hyaluronate combined with compound salvia injection.Methods 78 patients with osteoarthritis treated in our hospital from June 2015 to August 2016 were randomly divided into three groups: sodium hyaluronate group, compound salvia injection group and sodium hyaluronate plus compound salvia injection combination therapy group, 26 cases each group.The levels of serum inflammatory cytokines (IL-6,TNF-αand IL-1β) were measured by ELISA before and after treatment in the three groups, and the improvement of knee joint function and the change of pain score before and after treatment were analyzed as well.Results The total effective rate of sodium hyaluronate combined with compound salvia injection was significantly higher than that of sodium hyaluronate and compound salvia injection alone ( P <0.05 ); after treatment, patients VAS pain score was significantly decreased ( P <0.05), and the VAS pain scores in the combination group were significantly lower than those of the group treated with sodium hyaluronate and the compound salvia injection (P<0.05).The levels of IL-6, TNF-αand IL-1βin the three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05),and the inflammatory factors in the combination group were significantly lower than those in the alone treatment group (P <0.05). Conclusion Sodium hyaluronate combined with compound salvia injection has good clinical curative effect on knee osteoarthritis,improving the function of knee joint, reducing pain and so on.

BACKGROUND: Human lower limb system under different motion statuses exhibits great difference in terms of kinetic characteristics and joint deformation magnitude. Total hip replacement has been shown to be the best method to solve the severe illness of hip joints today. A good understanding of the responses of human lower limb system, in particular the knee joint, following total hip replacement is significant for rehabilitation training of patients.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of total hip replacement on knee joint deformation during motions by comparing the data collected from a patient who underwent total hip replacement 19 months ago and a healthy control subject under the same testing environment and method.METHODS: The patient was measured through the use of Optotrak Certus motion capture system (Northern Digital Inc.,California), and simultaneously measurements were performed in a healthy control subject presenting with similar body weight and body mass. Measurement indices included step length, step frequency, joint corner, and joint displacement curves. Speed and acceleration of each joint were calculated based on measured data.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Following total hip replacement, the structure of natural hip joint was destroyed. Although the gait did not change greatly, experimental data showed that knee joint deformed more greatly than normal gait, indicating the self-accommodation of human body, i.e., increasing the loading and deformation magnitude of knee joints can avoid the injuries caused by hip joint surgery.
