Objective To compare the clinical effects of total abdominal hysterectomy(TAH), laparoscopic vaginal hysterectomy(LAVH) and transvaginal hysterectomy(TVH). Methods A retrespective analysis was conduc-ted in 710 women underwent different hysterectomy approaches,includlng 397 patients underdoing TAH,176 underdo-ing LAVH and 137 treated with TVH. Results Uterine volume, operative pelvis, pelvic adhesion were main factors infulencing different operative styles for hysterectomy ( P<0.05 ). Compared with TAH, LAVH, TVH, the operation time,blood loss ,operation complicafion and recovery time of intestinal function were significantly difference(P<0.05). Conclusion Uterine volume, pelvic adhesion, operative pelvis were major factors influencing different operative styles for hysterectomy. The clinical efficacy of TVH is best,which is less time, minimal invasion, shorter recovery time and lower cost. The application of LAVH provides a promising microinvasive approach for vaginal hysterectomy which can make operation easy, visual field clear and is worthy to be advocated too.

Objective To evaluate the values of combined detection of soluble mesothelin related proteins (SMRP)and carbohydrate antigen 1 25 (CA1 25)in the diagnosis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.Methods 20 patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma were selected as the malignant group,50 patients with benign ovar-ian tumor were selected as the benign group,60 healthy women were selected as the control group.Enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was adopted to detect serum SMRP levels and electrochemiluminescence immunifaction (ECLI)was adopted to detect serum CA1 25 levels.The SMRP,CA1 25 levels were compared among all groups,the sensitivity,specificity of SMRP and CA1 25 in the diagnosis of peritoneal malignant mesothelioma were analyzed. Results Serum levels of SMRP,CA1 25 in malignant group were (1 4.8 ±1 .6 )μg/L,(1 89.1 ±1 5.3 )μg/Lrespectively,which were significantly higher than those in the benign group[(3.9 ±0.9)μg/L,(28.6 ±4.2)μg/L] (t =27.40,49.61 0,all P <0.01 )and the control group[(2.8 ±0.7)μg/L,(1 6.9 ±3.8)μg/L](t =29.877, 53.334,all P <0.01 ).The sensitivities of SMRP,CA1 25 detection alone for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma diag-nosis were 65.0%,50%,respectively,while their specificities were 83.6%,79.1 %.The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of SMRP and CA1 25 for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma were 95.0% and 93.6%.Conclusion SMRP has some value in the diagnosis of peritoneal malignant mesothelioma.SMRP combined with CA1 25 detection can markedly improve the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.

The nitrate-N content in KNO3 solution and soil was rapidly predicted using techniques of mid-infrared spectroscopy, in which 15 NO-3 and 14 NO-3 were distinguished and predicted. The results showed that the characteristic band of nitrate in solution and soil was 1200-1500 cm-1 , and compared with 14 NO-3 , the red shift of characteristic band of 15 NO-3 was about 35 cm-1 . In the characteristic band of nitrate, absorption band increased with the nitrate nitrogen concentration with less interference absorption. The linear regression was made between the first principal component of characteristic band and nitrate-N content, and correlation coefficient was more than 0 . 9840 , indicating that the technique of mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy could be applied for rapid monitoring of nitrate in solution and soil. Meanwhile, based on the red shift characteristic of 15 NO-3 absorption band, the method of partial least squares were involved to predict the nitrate-N of different N-isotope labeled in solution and soil, resulting that all the prediction models reached excellent levels. For 14 NO3-N and 15 NO3-N in solution, the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) were 0. 9980 and 0. 9982 respectively, and ration performance to standard deviations ( RPD ) were 6. 44 and 4. 76, respectively. While for 14 NO3-N and 15 NO3-N in soil, the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) were 0. 9794 and 0. 9679, and RPD were 5. 75 and 4. 78, respectively. Therefore, the technique of mid-infrared attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy can be applied for rapid monitoring different N-isotope labeled nitrate in solution and soil, to provide a new in situ and fast time method to study nitrification process in soil.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of radiofrequency ablation (RF) combined with digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-guided percutaneous ethanol injection sclerotherapy in the management of high-return flow venous malformation (VM).Methods Forty-one patients,who were diagnosed as high-return flow VM with clinical and radiographic evidence,were divided into the observation group (n=19) and the control group (n=22) using a random number table.All high-return flow VM patients received DSA-guided percutaneous ethanol injection sclerotherapy while the patients in observation group were given radiofrequency ablation.The clinical effect,treatment times and adverse effect of the two groups were analyzed.Results The effectiveness of the observation group was significantly higher than those of the control group [94.7％ (18/19) vs 81.8％ (18/22)].The facial paralysis occurred in three patients (13.6％) after ethanol injection in the control group,while the observation group had no facial nerve injury after treatment.The patients in observation group had significantly fewer numbers of ethanol injection.Conclusions RF can improve the efficacy of high-return flow VM and reduce the number of ethanol injection.The scheme is safe and effective.

AIM: To investigate the molecular mechanisms of antianxiety drugs on the rats with restraint stress. METHODS: The rat stress model was made by restraint stress. The behaviors of rats were tested in open field conditions, and the expression of c fos positive cells was detected by S P immunohistochemical assay in hypothalamus. RESULTS: The crossing scores, the rearing scores and the expression of c fos positive cells increased more significantly in the other groups than that in the control group, but decreased in the paroxetine group. The paroxetine inhibited the behaviors and the expression of c fos positive cells in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of rats after immobilization stress. CONCLUSION: The effects of paroxetine on the anxiety disorders in rats may be related to the downregulation of the expression of the c fos in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN).

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) combined with argon-helium cryoablation in treating small renal cancers. Methods During the period from February 2008 to July 2013, a total of 44 patients with small renal cancer were treated with TAE and argon-helium cryoablation at The Medical Imaging Department of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command. The renal function was reexamined one month after the treatment. Contrast-enhanced CT or MRI was performed in all patients within 1-3 months after the treatment. By using mRECIST, the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated. All patients were followed up for 12-46 months (mean 28 months). Results A total of 48 lesions in the 44 patients were treated with sequential therapy of TAE and argon-helium cryoablation. Of the 48 lesions, complete remission (CR) was achieved in 38, partial remission (PR) in 6 and stable disease (SD) in 4, the remission rate (CR+PR) was 91.7%. No severe complications occurred in all patients, except one who developed localized hemorrhage during the performance of argon-helium cryoablation, which was improved after symptomatic medication. The mean postoperative hospitalization time was 4 days. Three patients were lost to follow-up, one patient died of esophageal cancer-related complication. The remaining patients were survival during the follow-up period, among them recurrence occurred in five within 13-22 months after the treatment, and the sequential therapy of TAE and argon-helium cryoablation had to be carried out once more. Conclusion For the treatment of small renal cancers, the sequential therapy of TAE combined with argon-helium cryoablation is minimally-invasive, safe and effective, and TAE that is performed before argon-helium cryoablation can reduce the incidence of bleeding occurring in the freezing process. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice.

AIM: To study the effects of paroxetine on the psychological stress induced by c-fos gene expression in the rat hypothalamus paraventricular nucleus(PVN) and to explore the molecular mechanism of effects of paroxetine on the stress related anxiety disorders. METHODS: The rat psychological stress model was made by restraint stress. The cortisol was analyzed by radioimmnoassay, and expression of c-fos positive cells was detected by S-P immunohistochemical assay in the rat PVN. RESULTS: The level of cortisol and the expression of c-fos positive cells increased more significantly in the other groups than that in the control group, but decreased in the paroxetine group. The paroxetine reduced the level of cortisol and inhibited the expression of c-fos positive cells in the PVN after psychological stress. CONCLUSION: The paroxetine can regulate the nerve centre by alleviating the expression of the c-fos in the hypothalamus paraventricular nucleus(PVN)and the activation of HPA pathway.

Objective To explore the effects and the possible molecular mechanism of flavonoids of puerarin (PR) on chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cell line K562 and acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line NB4 in vitro. Methods MTT assays were used to detect the inhibitory effects of cell proliferation. The apoptosis of K562 and NB4 cells was detected by flow cytometry marked with Annexin V/PI. The expression of bcr-abl, p53, bcl-2, Fas/FasL in K562 cells and JNK, PARP, bcl-2 and Caspase 3 in NB4 cells at protein level was detected by Western blot. Results PR could inhibit the proliferation of K562 and NB4 cells in a time-dose dependent manner. The expression of protein levels of bcr-abl fusion gene declined, while the p53 protein otherwise increased, and both were in a dose-dependent manner (F = 18.74, P <0.05). The application of PR had no effect on bcl-2 and Fas/FasL protein expression in K562 cells. The JNK, PARP and Caspase3 proteins were upregulated in NB4 cells, while bcl-2 was downregulated with the increasing concentrations of PR (F=42.32, P <0.05). Conclusion PR could inhibit leukemic cell proliferation, induce cell cycle block, and increase cell apoptosis through different molecular mechanisms. It suggestes that PR might potentially be a kind of broad spectrum anti-leukemia agent.
