In the presence of antischistosomular serum(Ab), the adherence of macrophages(M?). eosinophils(Eos) and neutrophils(Neu) to and the killing effect on schistosomula of Schistosoma japonicum were studied with a mouse model. In vitro experiment showed that all the three kinds of effectcr cells could adhere to the surface of the schistosomula when opsonized with specific Ab resulting in the significant increase in the percentage of dead schistosomula. When SPA was added to the system, the percentage of schistosomula with adherent cells decreased markedly. It was revealed that the adherence of cells was at least partially through the binding of Fc fragment of IgG to Fc receptor on the cell surfaces. After having been incubated with Ab and/or cells for 18 h in vitro, the schistosomula were inoculated into the peritoneal cavity of mice. The adult recovery rate 6 weeks after inoculation in groups Eos+Ab and M? + Ab were significantly lower than that of the control group (P

Objective To investigate characteristics of endometriotic lesions clone with various pathological subtypes by analyzing the polymorphism of X chromosome linked human androgen receptor allele (HUMARA). Methods Eight frozen tissues of endometriotic leisons were collected from 6 patients who received laparotomy or laparoscopy surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from Nov. 2008 to Jun. 2009. Fifty specimens of epithelial cells from single endometrial glands were isolated and collected from endometriotic lesions by using laser capture microdissection. HUMARA was applied as the gene marker of clonal analysis. Nested palymerase chain reaction, double-enzyme digestion reaction with two methylationsensitive restriction endonuclease (Hha Ⅰ and Hpa Ⅱ), and the automated gene sequencing technique were utilized in this study to evaluate the characteristics of endometriotic lesions clone. Results Of 50 specimens of isolated glands, 34 were informative for clonal analysis, and all of which showed monoclonality. Of 3 ovarian endometriotic tissues, one tissue of HUMARA showed unuseful information, the other 2 ovarian endometriotic tissues respectively had 4 and 7 informative specimens of gland epithelial cells, and all of the glands from each tissue showed uniform clonal pattern. Two peritoneal endometriotic tissues had 1 and 5 informative specimens from individual glands, respectively; and the clonal patterns in 5 glands from the single lesion were divergent. Two abdominal wall endometriotic tissues had 7 and 6 informative specimens,respectively; and variable clonal patterns were seen in different glands from each lesion. One deep infiltrating endometriotic lesion had 4 informative specimens of isolated glands, and all of them showed unique clonal pattern. The disparate clonal patterns were found in endometriotic lesions with variable pathological subtypes, even arising from the same patient. Conclusions The epithelial cells from individual endometriotic gland showed monoclonality , and different glands from the same endometriotic lesion might show divergent patterns.

Objective To investigate the efficiency of biological function of AT rich interaction domain 1A (ARID1A) gene silenced by small interfering RNA (siRNA) on ovarian clear cell carcinoma ES2 cell line. Methods (1) The three pairs ARID1A gene siRNA interference fragments siN1 (ARID1A-705), siN2 (ARID1A-1513), siN3 (ARID1A-2282) and one pair negative control were respectively designed, and transfected into ES2 cells by RNA interference max reagent transiently. Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and western blot methods were used to detect the expression of ARID1A mRNA and protein in ES2 cells transfected with interference fragments respectively. So as to select the best silencing effect of siRNA interference fragment(that was siN3),and then was used in the following experiment. (2) The following experiment were divided into three groups, namely siN3 transfection group, negative control group and blank control group. The proliferative activity of three groups of cells after transient transfection ( 6, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours) was assessed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and expressed as absorbance (A) value; the apoptosis rate of three groups of cells transfected transiently with interference fragment was measured by flow cytometry with annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining;the ability of cellular invasion of three groups of cells transfected transiently with interference fragment was tested by transwell experiment;the expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), membrane type-1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) protein in ES2 cells transfected transiently with interference fragment was measured by western blot. Results (1) The RT-PCR results showed that the ARID1A mRNA relative expression levels in ES2 cells after transfected transiently with siN1, siN2 and siN3 were 0.007 8±0.005 7, 0.006 8±0.000 3 and 0.002 8±0.000 3 respectively. They were all apparently lower than that in the negative control group (0.034 6 ± 0.001 3;all P<0.01). The western blot results showed that the expression levels of ARID1A protein were 0.439 4±0.000 7, 0.424 4±0.005 0 and 0.386 0±0.005 8 respectively. They were also lower than that in the negative control group (0.732 4 ± 0.030 3; all P<0.01). The siN3 with the highest transfection efficiency was selected to use in the following experiment. (2) The CCK-8 method showed that the proliferative activity of siN3 transfection group cells after transfected transiently at 6 hours was not statistically significant difference compared with those in negative control group and blank control group (0.506 ± 0.010, 0.491 ± 0.006, 0.498 ± 0.009, respectively; all P>0.05). However, the proliferative activity of siN3 transfection group cells after transfected transiently at 24, 48, 72, 96 hours were higher than those in negative control group and blank control group (all P<0.01). The flow cytometry results showed that the apoptosis rate of siN3 transfection group cells was (20.0±3.9)%, which was significantly lower than those in negative control group and blank control group [(31.5 ± 5.0)%, (34.0 ± 4.2)%, respectively;all P<0.05]. The transwell experiment showed that the penetrated cell counts of siN3 transfection group was 60.4±2.9, which was apparently higher than those in negative control group and blank control group (54.2 ± 3.5, 52.1 ± 3.8, respectively; all P<0.01). Western blot experiment showed that the relative expression levels of NF-κB, MT1-MMP and MMP2 protein in siN3 transfection group were respectively 1.85 ± 0.16, 0.37 ± 0.08, 1.38 ± 0.11, which were apparently higher than those in negative control group (0.93±0.11, 0.17±0.05, 0.86±0.06;all P<0.05) and blank control group (0.94 ± 0.04, 0.15 ± 0.08, 0.85 ± 0.10, respectively; all P<0.01). Conclusions It would be to promote the cell doubling time, reduce cell apoptosis and increase the invasive capability in ES2 cells that ARID1A expression was down-regulating by ARID1A mRNA interference. The invasion mechanism may be related to the activation of NF-κB signal transduction pathway, up-regulation of MT1-MMP expression and then promoting the invasion of tumor cells via the up-regulation of MMP2 expression.

Objective To determine the association between simplified pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (S-POP-Q) and the standard pelvic organ prolapse quantification system (POP-Q) in describing pelvic organ prolapse. Methods This was an observational study. From Jan. 2010 to Jan. 2014, 256 subjects with pelvic floor disorder symptoms underwent two exams: a POP-Q exam and a S-POP-Q exam. For the S-POP-Q system, vaginal segments of the exam were defined using points Ba, Bp, C, and D. For the POP-Q system vaginal segments of the exam were defined using points Aa, Ba, Ap, Bp, C, and D. The inter-system consistency between the overall ordinal stages, the anterior vaginal wall stages, the posterior vaginal wall stages, the cervix stages, the posterior fornix or vaginal cuff stages from each two kind of exam were compared. Results The Kendall tau-b correlation coefficient for overall stage was 0.81, the Kendall tau-b correlation coefficients were 0.81, 0.81, 0.85, 0.88 for the anterior vaginal wall, for the posterior vaginal wall, for the cervix, for the posterior fornix or vaginal cuff, respectively. Conclusion There is almost perfect association between S-POP-Q and POP-Q in describing pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective To study the significance of pain symptoms and physical signs to diagnosis of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).Methods Totally 500 patients with laparoscopic diagnosis of endometriosis were studied retrospectively and divided into two groups depending on the existance of DIE.The pain symptoms and gynecological physical signs were recorded detail,and the correlation with diagnose of DIE were analyzed.Results (1) The significance of pain symptoms:the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value (PPV),negative predictive value (NPV) and OR,95％ CI of each pain symptom were:dysmenorrhae (90.5％,37.2％,59.6％,79.3％,5.66,3.46-9.28),chronic pelvic pain (35.2％,82.6％,67.4％,55.4％,2.58,1.70-3.91),dyspareunia (46.2％,80.6％,70.7％,59.6％,3.56,2.39-5.32),dyschezia (51.0％,73.7％,66.5％,59.5％,2.91,2.00-4.24),respectively.(2) Pelvic physical examination:the sensitivity,specificity,PPV and NPV of each physical sign were:fixed uterine:73.6％,71.2％,79.5％,64.0％; fixed ovarian cyst:94.1％,20.3％,63.3％,70.0％; uterosacral ligaments nodule:47.1％,97.5％,96.6％,54.9％; uterosacral ligaments nodule with tenderness:81.7％,75.0％,83.1％,73.2％; rectovaginal septum nodule:32.2％,100.0％,100.0％,49.4％; rectovaginal septum nodule with tenderness:32.2％,100.0％,100.0％,49.4％; blue nodule in posterior vaginal forni:14.9％,100.0％,100.0％,43.7％.Conclusions In the symptoms,the dysmenorrheal has the highest sensitivity and NPV for the diagnosis.And chronic pelvic pain has the highest specificity,and dysparaunia has the highest PPV for the diagnosis.In pelvic vaginal examination,fixed uterine,fixed ovarian cyst and the nodule on uretosarcal ligment and rectovaginal septum with tenderness,the blue lesion on posterior fornix have the strong significance for DIE.So record the symptom detail and careful digital vaginal examination,especially the vaginal-recto-abdominal examination could improve the diagnosis DIE obviously before procedure.

Objective The study was to explore the safety, firmness and convenience of the fascia around the ischial spine as a new fixation site for the vaginal fornix. Methods Between June 2007 and January 2008, detailed dissections and related measurements of the regions around the ischial spine were performed on 10 Chinese female cadavers (3 unembalmed and 7 embalmed cadavers). At the same time, the sacrospinous ligament,the fascia on the ischial spine, the iliococcygeus fascia as well as the vaginal fornix were exposed and the pull-out strength sequentially tested using a digital push-pull force gauge. Results The fascia on the ischial spine was firm and strong, with a thickness of 3 about mm. No major vessels or nerves were observed on the ischial spine. The greatest pullout strengths of the sacrospinous ligament,the fascia on the ischial spine, the iliococcygeus fascia as well as the vaginal fornix were (102±26),(64±15),(33±8)and(32±6)N, respectively. Conclusion The fascia at 1 cm from anterior lateral ischial spine, free of major vessels and nerves, is safe and strong and could be used as a new site for suspension in vaginal prolapse.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia(VAIN).Methods A retrospective study was made of 6 patients with VAIN.who were hospitalized at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1980 to 2006.Results Five cases had a history of hysterectomy,two of whom were because of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)or invasive cervical cancer.Four cases had the infection of high-risk oncogenic human papillomaviruses detected with hybrid capture Ⅱ(HC-Ⅱ),the other two had no record.In all patients the VAIN lesions were within the upper one third of the vagina.They were all diagnosed by colposcopic examination and directed biopsy after the abnormal cytology by thinprep cytology test(TCT).Six cases of VAIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ were treated by excisional surgery.One case had residual lesion and had another surgery 3 months after the first one.Two patients obtained remission at one-year follow-up,three had abnormal cytology by TCT 6 months after surgery,and one had abnormal cytology by TCT at six-month follow-up but normal at one-year follow-up.Conclusions A history of CIN is the main risk factor for VAIN,so routine vaginal cytology is needed for the patients after hysterectomy due to CIN.Cytology,colposcopic examination and directed biopsy are the mainstays of VAIN diagnosis.Excisional surgery is recommended for the patients with VAIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ.Long term follow-up is necessary after treatment.

markers of endometriosis. Its clinical value deserves further investigation.

Objective To explore the operation skills of laparoendoscopic single site surgery ( LESS) of total hysterectomy , to expand the application of LESS in the field of in gynecologic surgery . Methods A total of 23 cases of total hysterectomy were completed under laparoendoscopic single site surgery in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to August 2013, applying with combination of the traditional laparoscopic and special LESS apparatuses , intelligent electronic coagulation and excision device and the self-fixed absorbable sutures ( V-LOC).The datas of the patients during the operations and the follow-up were recorded and analyzed Results Twenty-three cases LESS-TH are accomplished.The weight of uterus was (230+38) g.The operation time was (73+22) minutes, with the intraoperative blood loss (99 ±53) ml.The postoperative intestinal function recovery time was (13 +4) hours, and postoperative hospitalized time was ( 1.8 ±0.6 ) days, with the postoperative pain visual analogue scale 3.9 ±1.6.There were no complications reported during intraoperative and postoperative time.All of our patients was finished the follow-up from 14 d to 2 months.As usual, vaginal discharge is normal, wound healed well, most of the wounds healing (19/23) hidden in umbillicus, no obvious scar, vaginal stub wound healed well Conclusions ( 1 ) LESS can accomplish total hysterectomy of uterus of gestational age less than 8 weeks safely and effectively .( 2 ) Combination of traditional laparoscopic and special LESS appatatuses , the use of intelligent energy devices and V-LOC to suture vaginal stub could make the total hysterectomy by LESS much easier and safer .

Objective To study the relationship between the clinic-pathological features and pain symptoms in patients with endometriotic cyst(EM).Methods The medical data of symptoms,laparoscopy and pathology examination in 416 patients with endometriosis were studied retrospectively.All cases were divided into two groups on the existence of ovarian endometrioma,including 338 patients in cyst group and 78 cases in non-cyst group.The relationship between clinical symptoms and location and type of endometrioma was studied.Results(1)Serum CA125 level:the level of CA125 were(61 ± 39)kU/L in cyst group(28 ± 24)kU/L in non-cyst group,which reached statistical difference(P ＜ 0.01).(2)Pathological features:among 338 cases,34.0％ of cyst were on left side(115/338),26.3％ were right side(89/338),and 39.6％ were on both side(134/338).And 95.8％(324/338)of cases were combined with the other type of endometriosis,which were 48.5％(164/338)with peritoneal endometriosis,47.3％(160/338)with deep infiltrating endometriosis(DIE).In cystic patients,the incidences of endometriosis lesion were 13.9％(47/338)on the uterine surface,38.5％(130/338)on obstruction of cul-de sac,40.5％ (137/338)on utero-sacral ligament of DIE,which were significantly higher than 5.1％,(4/78),9.0％ (7/78)and 28.2％(22/78)in noncyst group.(3)Pain symptom:the incidence and degree of dysmenorrhea and dyschezia had no statistical difference between two groups(P ＞ 0.05),and the incidence of chronic pelvic pain(CPP)of 24.6％(83/338)and dyspareunia of 29.9％(101/338)in the cyst group were significantly lower than 35.9％(28/78)and 44.9％(35/78)in non-cyst group(P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of dysmenorrheal was 85.1％(114/134)in cases with bilateral cyst,which was higher than 74.0％(151/204)in cases with single cyst.The incidence of dysmenorrheal and dyschezia in moderatesevere adhesion was 89.0％(138/155)and 18.7％(29/155),which was significantly higher than 68.8％ (126/183)and 8.2％(15/183)in mild adhesion.In the patients cyst existed with DIE,the risk of dysmenorrheal,CPP,dyspareunia,and dyschezia were obviously raised(OR respectively was 5.17,3.01,3.05,2.75).Conclusions The endometriotic cyst often co-exists with other type of endometriotic lesions.Ovarian endometrioma was associated with lesion localized on uterine surface,cul-de-sac,sacrum ligament.The risk of all the pain symptoms would be raised when the endometriotic cyst co-exit with the DIE lesions.So the treatment for DIE lesions was as same important as the endometriotic lesions in order to relieve pain symptoms and delay the relapse.
