Objective To explore the role of estradiol decline in the early luteal phase (the 2nd day after oocyte retrieval) in the prediction of in-vitro fertilization outcomes. Methods A total of 236 cases under in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET)/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer(ICSI-ET) cycles were included in this retrospective study of their medical records. The cases were divided into three groups according to the levels of estradiol decline on the 2nd day following OPU: group A (n = 70) with the decline rate of less than 70%, group B (n=114) with the decline rate of 70%~80%and group C (n=52) at the decline rate of more than 80%. The comparisons were done among the three groups in terms of the number of oocyte retrieval, the rate of fertilization, the rate of best oocytes and the rate of miscarriage. Results There were no significant differences statistically in the number of oocyte retrieval, the rate of fertilization, the rate of best oocytes and the rate of miscarriage (P > 0.05). But the rates of clinical pregnancy rate in groups A and B were significantly higher than that in group C (68.6% and 68.4% vs. 44.2%) (P < 0.05). Conclusion The levels of estradiol declines in the early luteal phase may be important in the prediction of IVF outcomes.

Conclusion Dahuangzhechongwan has the role of simutianeous application of elimination and tonification, promoting the circulation of Qi and blood, eliminating blood stasis, improving the hemodynamics. Dahuangzhechongwan has the renal protection on rat with adriamycin-induced nephrosclerosis, the mechanism may be relate with adjusting the balance of TXB_2 and 6-keto-PGF_(1?).

Objective: To investigate the expression and prognostic significance of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5) in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). Methods:IGFBP5 expression in tissue samples from 236 GAC patients was analyzed us-ing immunohistochemical methods. These patients had undergone surgical resection between 20003 and 2006 in Sun Yat-Sen Universi-ty Cancer Center. The relationship between IGFBP5 expression and clinicopathological factors in the 236 GAC patients was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. The significance of IGFBP5 in predicting the survival status of these patients was analyzed using Ka-plan-Meier survival analysis and Cox's proportional hazards regression model. Results:Immunohistochemical staining data indicated that IGFBP5 expression was significantly decreased in 159 of the total GAC cases (67.4%). Of the 62 cases with well-and moderately differentiated GAC, 31 (50%) exhibited reduced IGFBP5 expression. Of the 174 cases with poorly differentiated GAC, 128 showed re-duced IGFBP5 expression. Reduced IGFBP5 expression was also observed in female patients and in patients with tumors over 5 cm in size or with poorly differentiated tumors (P<0.05). The reduced expression of IGFBP5 was common in the tumors that were staged as T3+4a/b andⅢ/Ⅳ(P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the reduced expression of IGFBP5 was associated with poor prognosis in GAC patients (P<0.001). Cox regression analysis identified IGFBP5 expression as an independent prognostic factor for the overall survival of these cancer patients (HR=1.897, P=0.029). Conclusion: IGFBP5 expression is reduced in GAC tissues, and IGFBP5 independently predicts an unfavorable prognosis in GAC patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study the status quo and future trend of digestive system drugs used in our hospital. METHO-DS: The digestive system drugs used in our hospital between 2001 and 2005 were analyzed retrospectively in respect to drug kinds, consumption sum, DDDs, daily costs etc. RESULTS: Drugs for peptic ulcer and hepatobiliary diseases took a big proportion and experienced a year- on- year increase. No significant change was noted for the top 10 drugs on the lists of DDDs and consumption sum before and after the medical insurance reform, but their order changed a little. The DDDs of most of the cheap and effective drugs increased after the medical insurance reform. CONCLUSION: The consumption of antiulcer drugs and drugs for hepatobiliary diseases in our hospital assume an increasing tendency.

Objective To investigate the pattern of plasma kisspeptin levels in normal female during various pubertal Tanner stages and the girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty(ICPP) or with premature thelarche(PT), and to evaluate the significance of detecting plasma kisspeptin levels as a new criterion for early differentiation between ICPP and PT.Methods Each study group of normal pubertal females with Tanner stage Ⅰ to Ⅴ comprised 16 to 19 individuals.The levels of plasma kisspeptin were also detected in girls with ICPP(n= 10)or PT(n = 12).The plasma kisspeptin levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The level of kisspeptin was significantly higher in ICPP group than in that of PT group [(1.73±0.23 vs1.43±0.29) ng/ml, P＜0.05].Among the normal pubertal females, the level of kisspeptin decreased gradually from Tanner stage Ⅱ to Tanner stage Ⅴ, being highest in Tanner stage Ⅱ [(1.73±0.22) ag/ml] ,lower in stage Ⅳ and Ⅴ than in stage Ⅰ and Ⅲ (P＜0.01).Conclusions Plasma kisspeptin level was the highest during Tanner stage Ⅱ in normal female pubertal development.It is significant to detect plasma kisspeptin level for the differential diagnosis of ICPP and PT.

Objective To evaluate clinical value of ultrasound contrast agent the sulfur hexafluoride micro-bubble in the treatment of T2WI high signal uterine fibroids with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).Methods A total of 36 patients with T2WI high signal uterine fibroids were randomly divided into experimental group and control group.Eighteen patients in experimental group received HIFU treatment with sulfur hexafluoride micro-bubble before,during and after the operation while another eighteen in control group received HIFU treatment with sulfur hexafluoride micro-bubble only after the operation.We recorded operation time (min),changing time of massive gray (s),irradiation time (s),therapeutic dose (J),incidence of complications and ablation rate (％).Results Operation time,changing time of massive gray,irradiation time,and therapeutic dose in experimental group were (101.51±43.02) min,(856.42±451.14) s,(1077.37±546.23) s,and (496581.81 ± 267192.31) J,respectively while those in control group were (261.34 ± 85.53) min,(1 833.32 ± 642.67) s,(1 890.21 ± 1 268.43) s,and (784 608.31 ± 357 621.45) J,respectively.Significant differences were found among those parameters between the two groups (P ＜0.05).Tumor ablation rate in experimental group was 83.3％ while that in control group was 55.5％,which was of significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05).One case of muscular stiffness was found in experimental group while one case of second-degree burn and two cases of muscular stiffness were found in the control group.The incidence of complications was 1/18 (5.5％).No severe complication like bowel perforation or bladder perforation was found in the two groups.Conclusion The effect of ultrasound contrast agent sulfur hexafluoride micro-bubble can shorten operation time,improve tumor ablation rate and reduce complications and it can play a guiding role in clinical work.
