Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences 2010;37(1):100-102
Objective To study the current situation of diagnosis and treatment of rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy through 4-cases report. Methods We made a clinical study of 4 cases of rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy admitted to our hospital between 1995 and 2005. Results Three patients had been undergone artificial abortion before they were admitted to our hospital. All the patients were asymptomatic. Ultrasonography was made in 3 cases. Two cases were diagnosed as rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy. Three patients were cured with surgery. Conclusions Rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy is rare and with atypical clinical manifestation in the first trimester. Although diagnosis before surgery is difficult, ultrasonography and MRI make a great role. Surgery is the most important therapeutic method.

Objective To investigate the level of serum homocysteine(Hcy)in common chronic diseases(diabetes,hypertension, hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease)and its clinical application value in the community elderly residents.Methods A retrospec-tive study was conducted on the common chronic disease of 1 605 patients who detected Hcy in our center from January 2015 to Oc-tober 2015.Another 117 healthy subjects served as normal control group.Hcy was detected by cyclic enzymatic method.Results The average level of Hcy in serum of patients with diabetes,hypertension,coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia was higher than that in the health examination group,and the level of Hcy was positively correlated with age(P <0.05).Conclusion The high level of serum Hcy is an important risk factor in common chronic diseases in the community elderly residents,and it should strengthen the examination of Hcy and active intervention to slow down the development of the disease.

Objective To investigate the activation of human T cells with superantigen SEA. Methods T cells proliferation, IL-2 production, DNA synthesis, cell phenotype and apoptosis induced by the SEA in the first or restimulation were detected. Results It was shown that 100 ng/mL was the optimal activation concentration, IL-2 production arrived at top level in the third day, SEA activated CD4+ and CD8+T with the same degree, T cells start apoptosis in response to SEA restimulation within 24 hours and apoptosis disappeared through addition of rhIL-2. Conclusions There were correlation between activation and SEA concentration or stimulation period; SEA activated both CD4+ and CD8+T cells without change the cell phenotype.

Objectives To explore the relationship of orthostatic hypotension in elderly hypertensive patients with left ventricular structure and function.Methods 101 cases of elderly patients with hypertension were selected from July 2013 to June 2015.After blood pressure measurement in vertical and decubitus position,all patients were divided into non-orthostatic hypotension and orthostatic hypotension groups,received the echocardiography and the accurate calculation of left ventricular mass index.Results Compared with non-orthostatic hypotension,orthostatic hypotension in patients with left ventricular diastolic diameter,left ventricular posterior wall thinckness and interventricular septum thickness.Left ventricular mass index significantly increased(48.13±5.54)mm vs.(52.45 ± 1.48)mm in left ventricular diastolic diameter,(10.08± 1.87)mm vs.(11.29± 1.98)mm in left ventricular posterior wall thickness,(10.18± 1.88)mm vs.(11.61±1.66) mm in interventricular septum thickness,and (114.59 ± 22.72) g/m2 vs.(131.98 ± 23.43)g/m2 [t=4.386、2.985、4.397、8.672,in left ventricular mass index(BMI),all P<0.05].Left heart ventricular ejection fraction and mitral peak early/late diastolic blood flow decreased [(60.81 ± 4.73)vs.(53.60±2.58)and(0.93±0.23)vs(0.76±0.26)t=4.298、3.654,all P<0.05].Conclusions There is relationship of orthostatic hypotension with left ventricular structure and function in elderly hypertension patients,and it is essential not only to control blood pressure effectively,but also to focus on controlling orthostatic hypotension.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of gastrointestinal bleeding(GB) in secondary prevention patients with cerebral ischemic stroke(CIS).Methods A total of 616 patients were divided into bleeding group and control group according to the status (yes,no) of suffering GB during the 2years follow-up.Single factor analysis and Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of GB in CIS patients.Results The proportion of age≥65,a history of GB,gastric disease,renal insufficiency,sudden onset,NIHSS ≥12 and CIS ≥2 in the bleeding group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05) ; The proportion of combined with statins,proton pump inhibitors and gastric mucosal protective agent in the bleeding group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P <0.05) ; The Logistic regression analysis showed that age≥65,a history of GB,gastric disease,renal insufficiency,sudden onset,NIHSS≥12 and the times of CIS≥2 were risk factors of GB; however,combined with statins,proton pump inhibitors were protective factors.Conclusions Aging,a history of GB,gastric disease,sudden onset,higher NIHSS score and the times of CIS ≥ 2 were the risk factors of GB,combined with statins and proton pump inhibitors could reduce the risk of GB.

Background Most anti-inflammation eyedrops are limited in clinical application owing to multiple adverse effects.A novel peptide GC31 derived from human thrombomodulin has a natural anti-inflammatory activity.Compared with conventional anti-inflammatory eyedrops,GC31 possesses more advantages and potential clinical transforming value.However,relevant study is still lack.Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of GC31 and the possible mechanisms.Methods Sixty SPF male Wistar rats aged 8-10 weeks were randomized into 6 groups using randomized number table.Non-specific keratitis models were established in 40 rats by intrastromal injection of 10 μl of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dissolved in PBS.Different doses of GC31 (125 μg or 250 μg) or dexamethason soluble in PBS were sunconjunctically injected in the experimental eyes respectively in the low dose GC31 group,high dose of GC31 group and the dexamethason group,and 10 μl of PBS was used in the same way in the PBS control group.No drug was injected in the model group,and the normal rats were employed as the blank control group.The corneas were examined by slit lamp microscope and were scored based on the criteria of Anand 24 hours after injection.Then the corneas were collected for histopathological examination.Expression of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 in the corneas was detected using immunochemistry.Expressions of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) proteins were assayed using ELISA.Real-time PCR was used to detect the expressions of IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA.The use and care of the experimental animals followed Regulation for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experiment animals by State Science and Techonology Commission.Results A significant difference was seen in the ocular inflammatory scores among the six groups (F =301.238,P =0.000).The inflammatory scores were significantly lower in the high dose of GC31 group than those in the model group (1.85 ± 0.36 versus 2.90± 0.43) (t' =-5.144,P =0.000) ; and the scores in the dexamethason group was lower than those in the high dose of GC31 group(t' =-3.931,P=0.000).Infiltration of inflammatory cells in corneal tissue was milder in the high dose of GC31 and the dexamethason group compared with the model group.The positive response for NF-κB p65 was obviously weaker in the rat corneas in the low and high dose of GC31 groups and the dexamethason group in comparison with the model group.The contents of IL-6 and TNF-α proteins in the corneas were significantly reduced in the low and high dose of GC31 group and the dexamethason group compared with the model group (low dose group:t=-2.626,P=0.009;t'=-2.310,P=0.017.high dose group:t =-3.361,P=0.001 ;t'=-3.151,P=0.002),and the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α proteins in the dexamethason group were lower than those in the high dose of GC31 group (t=-3.361,P=0.001;t'=-3.360,P=0.000).In addition,the expression trend and compared results of IL-6 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA among the groups were similar to those of the IL-6 and TNF-α proteins (all at P<0.01).Conclusions GC31 suppresses LPS-induced corneal inflammation response by downregulating the expression of inflammatory eytokines.The effect is more dominant in the doses of 250 μg than that in the doses of 125 μg.
