Objective: To study the diagnosis， treatm ent and outcome of infants in patients with hyperthyroidism in pregnancy. Methods: The levels of T3，T4，TSH，FT3，FT4 in 40 cases of hyperthyroid gravida and control group were measured before delivery, the r oute of delivery and the outcome of infants were studied, and the neonatal thyroid f unctions were evaluated by the levels of T3，T4，TSH in cord serum samples . Results: The levels of T3，T4，FT3，FT4 in non-treatm ent group were higher than that of treatment group and control(P<0.01); an i ncreased rate of forceps and cesarean in hyperthyroid gravida was seen compared with that in control group, about 90%(36/40); the body weights of infants in no n-treatment group were lower than that in treatment and control group. There wa s a case of neonatal hyperthyroidism in non-treatment group. Conclusion : Hyperthyroidism should be diagnosed and treated earlier and there is little side effects on the outcome of infants.

ObjectiveTo investigate the popularity of the sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in mainland China.MethodsThe survey on the popularity of the sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy was conducted with questionnaires sent by e-mails or telephones to the GI endoscopy units of three levels of hospitals.ResultsFrom May,2010 to November,2010,169 units from 28 provinces (90.3％ ) were enrolled,including 46 hospitals of grade Ⅲ,91 of grade Ⅱ and 32 of grade Ⅰ.Sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed in 110 (65.1％,110/169) hospitals,i.e.93.5％ (43/46) grade Ⅲ hospitals,68.1％(62/91) grade Ⅱ hospitals and 15.6％ (5/32) grade Ⅰ hospitals.Significant difference was observed between the grade Ⅲ and the grade Ⅱ hospitals (P ＜ 0.05 ),so was between the grade Ⅱ and the grade Ⅰ hospitals ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Propofol was frequently used in sedation in 98 hospitals ( 89.1％ ).The only 9.1％( 10/110)hospitals,which had full-time anesthetists or anesthetic nurses,were all grade Ⅲ hospitals.ConclusionThere has been great progress in the popularity of sedated gastrointestinal endoscopy in mainland China during the past decade.However,it is less frequently pefformed in grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ hospitals.Shortage of full-time anesthetists is still a problem.

Objective To detect the expression of miRNA -34a in normal cervical,low grade cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia and high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia,to explore its clinical significance.Methods The expression levels of miRNA -34a in 82 cases of low grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINⅠ,CIN L group),87 cases of high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CINⅡ -Ⅲ,CIN H group) and 60 cases of normal cervical tissues (control group) in tissue specimens and serum were examined by real -time PCR(RT -PCR). Results The relative expression levels of miRNA -34a in tissues and serum of CIN H group were (0.584 ± 0.288),(0.528 ±0.299),which of CIN L group were (0.903 ±0.252),(0.847 ±0.279),which of the control group were (0.960 ±0.212),(0.908 ±0.223).The miRNA -34a level of CIN H group in tissues and serum were lower than CIN L group and control group,there was significant difference( Ptissues =0.001,Pserum =0.003).The miRNA -34a level in tissue and serum had no significant difference between the CINL group and control group(P >0.05).The expression level of serum miRNA -34a was positively related with the level of the tissues(r =0.907,P <0.01).Conclusion The expression level of miRNA -34a in high grade CIN was significantly decreased,which indi-cated that miRNA -34a play an important role in the prognosis of CIN and the transformation of cervical cancer,and it has certain clinical value for the diagnosis and treatment of CIN.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of the combination of western medicine with acupuncture for treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) of infertility.Methods Totally 120 PCOS patients were randomly divided into western medicine group and acupuncture group, 60 cases in each group. All patients took Diane-35, and with whom resistant to insulin were added with Metformin. At the meantime patients increased the amount of exercise with adjustment and control of everyday diet. After three periods, the western medicine group used the method of Clomifene Citrate with Chorionic Gonadotropin to help ovulation induction. The acupuncture group used the method of acupoint selection including invigorating spleen and kidney with adjusting qi and blood to promote ovulation. The level of FSH, LH, FINS, E2 and T of the two groups were observed before and after treatment.Results After treatment, the levels of T, FINS, LH and BMI in the two groups decreased, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The levels of T and BMI in the acupuncture group were lower than the western medicine group after the treatment, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The total efficiency, gestation number, number of high-quality follicle, and basal body temperature of acupuncture group were all higher than the western medicine group, with statistical significance (P<0.05).Conclusion The combination of western medicine with acupuncture for treatment of PCOS of infertility has confirmed efficacy.

Objective To investigate the effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and the plasticity of 5-HT3 and 5-HT4 receptors in the myenteric plexus on the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS) subgroups.Methods Twenty-seven male rats were randomly divided into three groups: IBS with diarrhea(IBS-D) group,IBS with constipation(IBS-C) group and blank control group.IBS-D model was made in rats by intracolonic instillation with acetic acid.IBS-C model was made in rats by gastric instillation with cool water.After rats in each group were killed,a colon segment was removed for detecting enteric neuron and excitatory neurotransmitter in the myenteric plexus using 5-HT and 5-HT3,5-HT4 receptors immunohistochemistry method.Results ① The number of 5-HT positive neurons in the myenteric plexus of IBS-D group(4.37?0.88) group was significantly higher than that in control group(2.99?0.41,P0.05).② The results of the experiment showed that there was no difference in the number of 5-HT3 receptor positive neurons in the myenteric plexus among each group(F=0.082,P=0.922).③ The positive value of 5-HT4 receptor immunoreactive neurons in the myenteric plexus of IBS-D group(141.98?6.96) group was significantly higher than that in control group(159.90?2.55)(P0.05).Conclusion Increased number of 5-HT and 5-HT4 receptor positive neurons in the myenteric plexus may be related to the pathogenesis of IBS-D rat model.

Objective To investigate the current status of conventionai diagnostic/therapeutic gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy (conventional gastroscopy/colonoscopy and endoscopic polypectomy,et al.) in mainland China.Methods The survey was conducted by a questionnaire sent via e-mail or telephone to the hospital-based GI endoscopy units,including three levels of hospitals (Third-Grade Hospital Classification in China).Results From May 2010 to November 2010,169/279 (60.6％)units were enrolled,which covered 28 provinces (90.3％) in mainland China.Among the 169hospitals,147(87.0％ ) hospitals performed GI endoscopy,and all the hospitals performed gastroscopy (100％).Furthermore,100％ of the tertiary hospitals,and 93.9％ (138/147) of the second-level hospitals performed colonoscopy,significantly higher than that of the first-level hospitals (25.0％)(x2 =60.9,P＜0.01).All the tertiary hospitals (100％),and 79.8％ (71/89) of the second-level hospitals perform endoscopic polypectomy,significantly higher than that of the first-level hospitals (16.7％,x2 =20.0,P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Among the 147 hospitals with the ability to perform GI endoscopy,74 hospitals (50.3％) performed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).Furthermore,76.1％ (35/46) of the tertiary hospitals performed ERCP,significantly higher than that of the second-level hospitals (43.8 ％,39/89) (x2 =12.7,P＜0.01),and none of the 12 first-level hospitals performed ERCP,endoscopic ultrosonography (EUS) or EVL/EVS(endoscopic oesophageal varices ligation/sclerotherapy).Conclusions The conventional diagnostic GI endoscopy (routine gastroscopy and colonoscopy) was popularized in the tertiary and the second-level hospitals,and there was still much to improve for the first-level hospitals.With regard to the conventional therapeutic endoscopics,ERCP and EVL/EVS were more popular in the tertiary hospitals,while the second-level hospitals have much to improve.

Objective To explore the relationship between Stathmin-1 and human papilloma viruse (HPV) persistent infection after conization of uterine cervix, and to show the clinical significance to recurrent of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Methods One hundred and six patients who were treated with conization of uterine cervix for CIN 2-3 grades were enrolled. Thirty-six recurrent patients were enrolled in recurrence group, and the others were enrolled in control group. The expression of Stathmin-1 in primary CIN tissues in two groups was detected by immunohistochemistry. The HPV infection was detected by HPV-DNA test. The relationship of HPV persistent infection and recurrence was analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HPV persistent infection and HPV persistent infection rate in recurrence group were 88.89%(32/36), 83.33%(30/36), in control group were 34.29%(24/70) and 22.86%(16/70), and there were significant difference (P <0.01). Forty-two patients had HPV persistent infection in 56 patients with stathmin-1 positive expression, and 4 patients had HPV persistent infection in 46 patients Stathmin-1 negative expression. There was positive correlation (r=0.97, P<0.01). The type of HPV persistent infection in two groups was no significant difference (P >0.05). Conclusions Stathmin-1 positive expression is related to HPV persistent infection. The two factors can affect the prognosis of high-grade CIN, and can provide new cues and theory basis for the prevention of recurrence.
