Objective To evaluate the effect of amniotic products after transcervical resection of uterine adhesions (TCRA). Methods This study was carried out in 57 patients with intensive degree of intrauterine adhesions (IUA) who had been treated by TCRA between Jun. 2013 to Jun. 2014. These patients were devided into two groups randomly. In group amnion, 29 patients were placed amniontic scaffold balloon after TCRA;in group balloon, 28 patients were placed Foley′s balloon after TCRA. The two groups′balloons were taken out after TCRA 7 days. All patients were taken artificial cycle treatment. The uterine cavity form and the menstruation of 2 groups were observed in 3 months after TCRA. Results In group amnion, IUA score dropped from 10.1±0.5 preoperatively to 3.2±1.5 postoperative (P<0.01), in group balloon, IUA score dropped from 10.1 ± 0.5 preoperatively to 6.3 ± 2.5 postoperative (P<0.01). In group amnion, the menstrual score increased from 13.3 ± 4.4 preoperatively to 32.6 ± 5.5 postoperative (P<0.01), in group balloon, the menstrual score increased from 11.1±5.8 to 26.5±5.6 (P<0.01). The menstrual improvement of group amnion was better than that of group balloon significantly (P=0.002). In group amnion, the recurrence rate of adhesion was 21%(6/29), in group balloon, the recurrence rate of adhesion was 36%(10/28). There was no significant difference (P=0.248). The pregnancy rate of group amnion was 28%(8/29), the pregnancy rate of group balloon was 21%(6/28). The difference of pregnancy rate in two groups was not significant (P=0.760). Conclusion This small sample observation indicate that amniotic products used in the treatment of intensive IUA could improve menstrual, reduce the recurrence of adhesion, but the impovement of the pregnancy rate should be confirmed by large sample observation.

Objective To investigate the information ability of medical personnel from a large general hospital that integrates medical care,teaching and research under the network environment for providing evidence to improve targeted information service in library.Method A self-designed and self-administered questionnaire was distributed through the questionnaire system on hospital office network.Information ability involved in the questionnaire mainly included the ability to precisely retrieve literature in Chinese and foreign language,commonly used retrieval strategies,and screening,evaluation and English full-text access methods.A total of 1 094 medical personnel voluntarily participated and completed the questionnaire,and complete responses were obtained from 1 065 individuals (effective response rate 97.35％).x2 and trend x2 tests were used for data analysis.Results The overall accuracy of precise retrieval information was only 6.1％,and the accuracies of precise retrieval literature in Chinese and foreign language databases were 14.6％ and 14.6％,respectively.Duty,education and working years of the medical personnel had significantly effects on the ability to precisely retrieve literature and the strategies and methods of information retrieval,screening,evaluation and full-text access.Conclusion Medical personnel had certain information ability,but library should carry out relevant training program to improve the medical personnel's information quality and ability further.

Objective:To discuss the effect of AngⅡ on insulin gene expression IN RIN-m cells and its molecular mechanism. Methods:RIN-m cells were cultured and divided into three groups, including the control group, 100 nmol·L-1 AngⅡ group and losartan pretreatment group. After 24-hour incubation, insulin gene expression in RIN-m cells was detected by RT-PCR, the mean flu-orescent intensity of 2', 7'-dichlorofluorescein ( DCF) was detected by flow cytometry, PDX-1 and MafA mRNA expression were detec-ted by RT-PCR and the protein expression was detected by Western-blot. Results: Insulin expression in RIN-m cells, cellular ROS level, PDX-1 expression and MafA expression in 100 nmol · L-1 AngⅡ group were significantly different from those in the control group and losartan pretreatment group (P<0. 05). The later two groups had no significant differentces in those indices (P>0. 05). Conclusion:AngⅡ can down-regulate PDX-1 and MafA expression inβ-cells through oxidative stress pathway, and then inhibit insu-lin gene expression. Pretreatment with losartan can antagonize the effect of AngⅡ, and has protective effect onβ-cells in the aspect of insulin gene expression.

Objectives To provide outline for the Research & Development department of hospitals making research strategy by analyzing the quantity of publications and their cited status for the top 20 hospitals in SCI and MEDLINE, and the top 100 hospitals in domestic publications in 2008. Methods The number of publications and their cited times for the first 20 hospitals in SCI and MEDLINE, and the top 100hospitals in domestic publications in 2008 were analyzed with bibliometric analysis. Results Compared with 2007, the increased number and ratio of publications in SCI and MEDLINE for the top 20 hospitals were 1050, 51.19% and 658, 15.04%, respectively; for top 100 hospitals, the average decreased number of domestic publications was 2.08, and the number of cited publications was increased 202.52 and the increased ratio was 13.51%. Conclusions The SCI publications from top 20 hospitals increase sharply, the increase of the MEDLINE articles from the top 20 hospitals is slowly. The negative growth is showed in the number of domestic articles for the top 100 hospitals. In addition, the increase of cited articles is slowly and disproportion.

Objective To investigate the authors, the institution and endemic distribution of these authors of Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics, and understand the current situation and problems in the field of Orthopaedics. Methods The authors, the co-authors and the core authors of papers published in Chinese Journal of Orthopedics from 2005 to 2009 were quantitatively analyzed using literature search through CMCI.The distribution of institution, region and highly quantitative organization were also analyzed. Results The 1182 papers were published by the Journal within 5 years. There were 1108 papers with one or more co-authors; the cooperative rate and degree were 93.74% and 5.02, respectively. 74 papers were written by single author, which accounted for 6.26% of all papers. 615 authors (75.18% of all first authors) published only one paper. There were 295 (24.96%) papers from 67 (8.19%) core authors. 601 (50.85%) papers were from 20 high-productivity institutes. The top three high-productivity institutes were Tianjin hospital, Beijing Jishuitan hospital and Nanjing Drum Tower hospital of Nanjing University Medical School. The number of papers were 89 (7.53%), 75 (6.35%) and 43 (3.64%), respectively. The number of papers from the teaching hospital,provincial or municipal hospitals, military hospitals were 722 (61.08%), 226 (19.12%) and 157 (13.28%),respectively. According to the distribution of Province, Beijing was the first of place with 264 (22.34%) papers, followed by Shanghai by 160 (13.54%) papers and Tianjin by 136 (11.51%) papers. The distribution range of the authors has been expanded to five countries. Conclusion The influence of the Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics has greatly increased. Authors of the Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics have a highly cooperative rate. There is a group of active and talented core authors who has a great influence on the journal. But the number of core authors and the papers published by core authors need to be expanded.

ObjectiveTo determine the clinical effect and the prospect of cervical side-to-side stapled esophagogastric anastomosis. MethodsEighteen cases of upper and middle thoracic esophageal carcinoma were treated with esophagectomy and cervical side-to-side stapled esophagogastric anastomosis. The clinical data were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The average age of patients was 60.7 years and the ratio of male to female was 17∶1. The tumor included 4 upper part and 14 middle thoracic parts. The length of tumors was from 1 cm to 7 cm, with an average of 3.2 cm.ResultsThe post-operative TNM staging(AJCC) included 4 Stage Ⅱa,9 Stage Ⅱb,and 5 Stage Ⅲ. The operative incisions included 8 nontransthoracic cervical and abdominal double incisions, 9 right cervico-thoraco-abdominal triple incisions, and 1 left cervico-thoracic incision. One (5.56%) patient complicated with anastomotic leakage and was cured in 2 weeks by cervical drainage and absolute diet. All the 18 patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years,and no anastomotic stricture was found. Reflux esophagitis was found in 2 and the incidence rate was 11.11%.ConclusionCervical side-to-side esophagogastric anastomosis is a safe procedure with larger resection of margins and fewer complications. It is worth replicating.
