Objective To inquire clinical effects of hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of submucous hysteromyoma. Methods A retrospective analysis regarding curative effects of hysteroscopic electroresection in 72 cases of submucous hysteromyoma was carried out. Results The resected myoma was 1.5~7 cm in diameter, and the number of resected myoma was 1~3. The operation time was 10~90 min (mean, 30 min). The operation was accomplished on one session in all the 72 cases. No uterine perforation, bleeding and bowel injuries took place. Postoperative follow-up for 4~20 months in the 72 cases reported a satisfaction rate of 97 2% (70/72). Out of 6 patients who had pregnancy desire, 2 were pregnant with child and 1 of them had a delivery. Conclusions Hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of submucous hysteromyoma is safe and effective. It can markedly improve the menstruation and elevate the pregnancy rate.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of transforming growth factor-?1(TFG-?1) and its correlation with the cellular proliferation activity in human gastric carcinoma (GC). Methods The expression of TGF-?1 and Ki-67 in 50 GC tissues and 10 normal gastric mucosal tissues was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the normal gastric mucosal tissues, the expression of TGF-?1 and Ki-67 in GC was significantly higher. TGF-?1 expression was associated with histological differentiation,lymphatic metastasis and invasion depth of GC. And Ki-67 expression was related with lymphatic metastasis and invasion depth of GC too. Furthermore, a significant correlation between TGF-?1 and Ki-67 expressions in GC was found as well. Conclusion Gastric carcinomas with expression of TGF-?1 had high cellular proliferation activity. TGF-?1 could not inhibit cellular proliferation in GC. TGF-?1 stimulated GC cells invasion and metastasis. The overexpression of TGF-?1 and Ki-67 can serve as a reference marker to evaluate GC biological behavior.

Objective To observe the impact of different culture conditions on the growth of the endothelial progenitor cells(EPCs) from rat peripheral blood. Methods Mononuclear cells obtained from rat peripheral blood were isolated by using density gradient centrifugation. According to the culture medium added with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and the dishes were precoated with fibronectin or not, the mononuclear cells were divided into different groups and cultured under different conditions in vitro to compare the differences of the growth conditions. The different growth conditions were recorded and the result was calculated by statistics software. At last, the cells were identified by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Results The mononuclear cells from rat peripheral blood grew in the manner of keeping close to the wall in vitro. The cells and cell colonies cultured for 7 days hinted:under the same culture conditions, precoating FN was beneficial to the adherent proliferation of EPCs (t=4.43, P＜0.05; t=3.70, P＜0.05). Excluding the impact of fibronectin, growth factors could promote mononuclear cells differentiation to EPCs, indicating that growth factors enhanced proliferation of EPCs (t =-13.22, P＜0.01; t =-10.96, P＜0.01). Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence showed that, at day 4, 7, 10 of cells cultured, CD34 and CD133 expressions were increased gradually [(35.7±4.2)%, (60.1±3.8)%, (81.8±6.4)%; (3.2±0.9)%, (18.4±7.3)%,(32±3.8)%, respectively]; at day 14, both were decreased [(32.1±5.4)%, (1.9±2.7)%]; but Flk-1was increased at day 4, 7,10, 14 [(31.2±3.5)%, (40.6±5.3)%, (71.2±8.4)%, (81.5±4.1)%].Conclusions Fibronectin is conducive to adhesion and proliferation of EPCs. VEGF and bFGF play an important role in the differentiation of EPCs. The success culture of EPCs in vitro will provide a sufficient number of seed cells for its application in vascular tissue engineering, and offer new ideas for peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for the treatment of various diseases.

This paper presented the effects of experimental hyperinsulinemia on the main apolipoproteins (At, B) and on tbe process of reverse cholesterol transport in rabbit, which consisted of 1) uptake of cholesterol from peripheral tissue by HDL; 2) cholesterol esterification and 3) cholesterol ester transfer. The results showed that insulin could significantly decrease both serum and lymph Apo A1 levels and inhibit all the three steps of reverse cholesterol transport. The larger the dose of insulin, the greater the effects. Apo B did not seem to be influenced by insulin. It was further demonstrated by a series of statistical analyses that insulin had both direct and indirect inhibitory actions, to different extent, on each of the three main steps of reverse cholesterol transport.
