Objective To observe the preventive and therapeutic effects of L-carnitine on the metabolic disorder and cardiac remodeling in alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Methods Experimental animals were divided into three groups: alcohol-fed group(A), an alcohol/L-carnitine fed group(B) and a control group(C). Free fatty acid(FFA) and earnitine were detected in the blood serum at different time. mRNA and protein expressions of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARα and PPARγ), retinoic acid receptor retinoid X receptor alpha (RXRα), earnitine palmitoyl transferase isoform and medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) were observed with RT-PCR and Western blotting methods. Results (1) When group A and B were compared with group C, FFA was increased and carnitine was decreased;mRNA and protein expressions of PPARα, RXRα, CPT-Ⅰ and MCAD were decreased with the development of alcoholic cardiomyopathy (ACM), being more significantly in group A than group B (P < 0.05). (2) mRNA and protein expressions of PPARγ had no statistical significance between these three groups at the end of 2 and 4 months(P>0.05), but after 6 months, they were increased in group B and decreased in group A (A vs. C,P<0.01;B vs. C,P<0.05). Conclusion Metabolic disorder and cardiac remodeling occur in the development process of ACM; they are partly prevented by L-carnitine through downregulating mRNA and protein expressions of PPARct, RXRα, CPT-Ⅰ, MCAD and PPARγ.

Objective To find out and clarify the causes and the pathogens of vulvovagmitis in childhood girls, to determine the clinical treatment. Methods There were 345 cases of childhood girls .ranged from 18 days to 12 years, with symptoms of vulvovagini tis, and their vaginal secretions were examined by routine smear for cleaning degree, trichomonas , Candida and clue cells, gram-stain for neisseria gonorrhoeae, culture for bacteria, mycoplasma urealytium, mycoplasma hominis and chlamydia trachomatis. Results One hundred and nine pathogens were detected(31.6% of the whole cases ), including specific pathogen 70 cases(20. 3% )and non-specif ic pathogen 32 cases(9.3%). Gardnerella was detected most frequently in specific pathogen while enteric bacilli was detected most frequently in non-specific pathogen. Conclusions Non-specific vulvovaginitis is the most frequent cause in childhood vulvovagimtis, and bacterial vaginosis is the mast frequent in specific infection. Symptomatic treatment is effective, but antibiotic treatment should be based on pathogenic findings of vaginal secretions.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and application of histopathology diagnosis of endometrial tissues obtained by endometrial cell collector (Jingyou, SAP-1). Methods One hundred and ninety-three patients whose endometrial lesions should be excluded were selected. First, endometrial tissue were obtained from the patients by Jingyou, then they underwent comprehensive curettage under hysteroscopy. The histopathology diagnosis was performed respectively. The specimen satisfaction rate and diagnostic accuracy was analyzed and compared. Results The specimen satisfaction rate of curettage under hysteroscopy was 95.85%(185/193). The specimens of 8 cases were not satisfied because the tissues were not enough. The specimen satisfaction rate of Jingyou was 82.38% (159/193). The specimens of 34 cases were not satisfied, among whom in 10 cases scratches did not throughout the whole palace antrum, and in 24 cases tissues quality were poor. The endometrial thickness in unsatisfactory specimen by Jinyou was significantly thinner than that in satisfactory specimen:(0.64 ± 0.18) cm vs. (0.97 ± 0.43) cm, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The diagnostic accordance rate between Jingyou and curettage under hysteroscopy was 79.87%(127/159). The sensitivity of Jingyou from high to low was 94.19% (81/86) in normal menstrual endometrial, 7/10 in endometrial carcinoma/ atypical hyperplasia, 67.86%(38/56) in endometrial hyperplasia and 1/7 in endometrial polyps. Missed diagnosis of jingyou inluded 2 cases of endometrial carcinoma and 4 cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia. The misdiagnosed rate of high grade endometrial lesions was 6/16, and the patients were misdiagnosed because the tissues were not enough. Four cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia had underwent conservative treatment of repeated curettage. Conclusions Application of Jingyou can obtain micro endometrial tissues, and the accordance rate of histopathology diagnosis is high with curettage under hysteroscopy. When the collector makes a comprehensive collection to the uterine cavity specimen, it can accurately screen endometrial carcinoma and atypical hyperplasia. The patients who have endometrial atypical hyperplasia and receive conservative treatment and curettage repeatedly curettage, thin endometrium and ultrasonic highly suspected endometrial polyps, are not recommend to use Jingyou to obtain specimen. When the specimen is not satisfied using the collector, additional hysteroscopy should be performed to avoid misdiagnosis of high grade endometrial lesions.
