Objective To compare the efficacy and complications of the two surgical methods (between type Ⅰ hysterectomy and type Ⅱ hysterectomy),and to explore the feasibility of type Ⅰ hysterectomy in stage ⅠA cervical cancer.Methods The study group,92 cases(48 cases of stage ⅠA1,44 cases of stage ⅠA2) were performed with type Ⅰ hysterectomy plus selective pelvic lymph node dissection;the control group,93 cases (49 cases of stage ⅠA1,44 cases of ⅠA2) were performed with type Ⅱ hysterectomy plus selective pelvic lymph node dissection.Results The survival rate of 5 years and 10 years in study group were 100 ％ (92/92),100 ％ (74/74) and that in control group were 100 ％ (93/93),100 ％(66/66),respectively.There were no signicant difference between the two group (both P ＞ 0.05).When compared with the control group,the urinary tract infection of the study group was significantly reduced (0 versus 13.99 ％,P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,there were a shorter surgical duration [(96.14±17.20) min vs (116.82±16.30) min].The hemorrhage [(117.35±39.61) ml] and blood transfusion (0 ml) in study group was less common than those in control group [(201.74±46.25) ml,(82.07±16.32) ml] (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion There are no difference of 5-year and l0-year survival rate in stage ⅠA patients with type Ⅰ or type Ⅱ hysterectomy,however,the rate of the postoperative urinary tract infection in the former is lower than that in the latter,and also there are a shorter surgical duration,less hemorrhage and reduced blood transfusion requirements in study group.Therefore,type Ⅰ hysterectomy can be effective and applicable for the patients of stage ⅠA cervical cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect factors for language and memory dominance testing in propofol Wada test in refractory epilepsy patients.Methods From January 2010 to August 2013,total of 23 patients underwent propofol Wada tests for language and memory dominance evaluation.According the performance in language test and memory test,the patients were divided into two groups,respectively:succeed with test or failed in test.The relevant factors including age,duration of epilepsy,handedness,FIQ (full scale of intelligence quotient),lateralization of lesions,language dominance,dose of propofol and the adverse effects of propofol were recorded as independent variables.Logistic regression was adopted to screen the effect factors for memory dominance evaluation.All statistical analyses were processed with SPSS software.Results All 23 patients succeeded with language test,but only 13 patients succeed with memory test.The difference of success ratios between language test and memory test was significant (P=0.001).For memory test,the difference of duration of epilepsy and FIQ in success group and failed group was significantly different (duration of epilepsy:(10.57±4.68) vs (18.30±9.30),P=0.032,FIQ:(81 ±25.33) vs (64.2±10.86),P=0.046).More grade Ⅱ adverse effects of propofol occured in the patients who failed in memory test (P=0.011).Logistic regression results indicated the grade Ⅱ adverse effects of propofol were the main risk factor for memory test failure (OR=28.0,P＜0.01).Conclusions Propofol Wada test is an effective method for language dominance evaluation.However,the effect factors for memory dominance evaluation are much more than language evaluation,such as duration of epilepsy,FIQ and grade Ⅱ adverse effects of propofol,and grade Ⅱ adverse effects of propofol may be the most significant risk factor.

Objective:To establish the median databases of serum markers for Down's syndrome screening during the second trimester of pregnancy women in the north-central area of Jiangxi Province.Methods:Time-resolved fluorometry was used to detect the serum contents of AFP free β-hCG and uE3 in 57 548 pregnant women during 15-20 gestational weeks.Risk evaluation was conducted by LifeCycle 4.0.SAS 9.2 software was used to establish a model of the median fitted equation.The newly constructed median system was used to reassess the risk of Down's syndrome development in pregnant women.Results:The medianand built in medianof north-central region in Jiangxi Province are significantly different (Z=2.201,P=0.028).The relationship between the median of the triple index and the gestational age was analyzed by the weight regression model.The relationship between the MoM value and the weight was used to calculate the reciprocal model.The median of the new system was more efficiency than the built in median.In the median of the new system than the reference,the detection rate improved from 62.75％ to 72.55％,false positive rate reduced by 5.84％ to 4.94％.Conclusion:The newly constructed median system is suitable for Down's syndrome screening in the north-central region of Jiangxi Province.

Objective:To obtain tumor antigens for study of the sero activity in sera of normal subjects and tumor patients.Methods:Had cloned MY OVA 2,7 and 13 full length genes and expressed the fusion proteins in E.Coli.The proteins were characterized by SDS PAGE and Western Blot.Using bacterially synthesized and purified proteins,74 patients with different kinds of tumors and 13 healthy controls by dot blot were investigated.Results:Expressed fusion proteins at high level,reaching a yield at least 30% of the total bacteria protein.By using affinity chromatography and thrombin digestion,finally gained three purified proteins,which could be applied to serum screening.Dot blot results showed that auto antibodies against MY OVA 2 and MY OVA 7 were detectable in some of tumor and normal samples,while antibody against MY OVA 13 was only detected in tumor patients(5/74) and not detected in normal subjects(0/13).Conclusion:Tumor antigens prepared from genetic engineering can be adopted for effective seroscreening.

Objective To report 2 cases of Fabry disease with early-onset ischemic stroke and investigate the clinical and image features. Methods The 2 patients developed dizziness, diplopia and progressive memory decline at 32 and 25 years of age respectively. The α-galactosidase A (GLA)activity was 4. 3 U in case 1 and 1. 0 U in case 2 ( normal range 100-500 U). Skin biopsy showed numerous membrane bounded osmiophilic laminar material in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. GLA gene analysis revealed GLA exon 7 1033-1034 TC del in case 1 and GLA exon 3 466G ＞ A in case 2. The 2 patients were evaluated by Mainz severity score index (MSSI) and cranial MRI. Results The general MSSI was 32 in case 1 and 16 in case 2, with the highest score of neurological score ( 11 and 14). Both cases showed multifocal infarcts in bilateral cerebellum, occipital lobe, basal ganglia, which were hypointensity on T1 WI and hyperintensity on T2WI. There were hyperintensity changes in the pulvinar and basal ganglia on T1 WI in case 2. Conclusions Cerebral ischemic stroke could appear as initial symptoms in Fabry disease,which predominantly involved the posterior circulation. There might be no dilation of basal-vertebral artery.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) for the prenatal diagnosis of a fetus with structural anomaly detected by ultrasonography. METHODS: The fetus and its parents were subjected to chromosomal karyotyping and CMA analysis. RESULTS: The fetus was found to carry a 46,XN,t(8;11)(q21.2;q13) translocation which was inherited from its mother. CMA has found no copy number variations (CNVs) in both parents but a de novo 2.00 Mb microdeletion in the fetus at 8q13.3. CONCLUSION CMA is capable of detecting microdeletions and microduplications in fetuses with translocations detected by karyotyping analysis.

To explore the effects of platelet factor 4(PF4) on hematopoietic reconstitution and its mechanism in syngenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The syngenic BMT mice models were established. 20 and 26 h before irradiation, the mice were injected 20 micrograms/kg PF4 or PBS twice into abdominal cavity, then the donor bone marrow nuclear cells (BMNC) were transplanted. On the 7th day, spleen clone forming units (CFU-S) were counted. On the 7th, 14th and 21st day after BMT, the BMNC and megakaryoryocytes in bone marrow tissue were counted and the percentage of hematopoietic tissue and expression level of heparan sulfate in bone marrow tissue were assessed. In PF4-treated groups, the CFU-S counts on the 7th day were higher than those in BMT groups after BMT. The BMNC and megakaryoryocyte counts and the percentage of hematopoietic tissue and heparan sulfate expression level were higher than those in BMT group on the 7th, 14th and 21st day after BMT (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). PF4 could accelerate hematopoietic reconstitution of syngenic bone marrow transplantation. The promotion of the heparan sulfate expression in bone marrow may be one of mechanisms of PF4.

OBJECTIVETo study the difference in pathologic diagnostic accuracy among different histologic subtypes of osteosarcoma and different methods of preoperative biopsy, and the influence of diagnostic accuracy on prognosis of osteosarcoma.

METHODSThe preoperative biopsies, complete clinical, radiological and pathological data of 347 pathologically confirmed osteosarcomas were evaluated. According to the Pathological Diagnostic and Technical Specifications, the accuracy of preoperative biopsies was divided into 6 grades. 1: definite diagnosis, 2: basically definite diagnosis, 3: significant diagnosis, 4: descriptive diagnosis, 5:inadequate sampling, 6:misdiagnosis. 1 to 3 were defined as successful diagnosis,while 4 to 6 were defined as unsuccessful diagnosis.

RESULTSOf the 347 biopsies, 252 were CT-guided needle biopsies by the radiologists, and 95 were core-needle biopsies by orthopedic surgeons without CT-guidance. The latter showed a higher overall biopsy success rate (97.9%) in all osteosarcomas. Biopsies by surgeons showed a higher biopsy success rate (95.4%) in conventional osteosarcoma, but lower success rate in telangiectatic (55.6%) and low-grade central osteosarcomas (63.7%). The accuracy of pathologic diagnosis of preoperative biopsy was related to patients' age, serum AKP level, imaging diagnosis, method of biopsy and the subtype of osteosarcoma. Comparing the groups with successful and unsuccessful diagnosis, there were significant differences in recurrence rate and mortality after operation (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONSThe accuracy of pathologic diagnosis of preoperative biopsy are related to recurrence rate and mortality after operation. Biopsy by orthopedic surgeons without CT-guidance is reliable and safe, followed by primary diagnosis at frozen section and final diagnosis by routine pathologic sections for osteosarcomas located in the long bones of the extremities. Close integration of the preoperative pathologic diagnosis with clinical and radiological data will improve the accuracy of diagnosis.
