ObjectiveTo explore the effect of vaginal myomectomy and compared with abdominal myomectomy.Methods80 patients with myomectomy were randomly divided into two groups with 40 cases in each group. Patients of the group A were operated by vaginal myomectomy, that of the group B were operated by abdominal myomectomy. Effects of operation and recovery of two groups were compared.ResultsIn the group A, 38 cases (95%) successfully undertook vaginal myomectomy, whereas all 40cases completed the planned surgery in the group B. There were no significant differences on the mean operating time, blood lose during operation, mean maximal postoperative temperature and average postoperative hospital stay between two groups (P>0.05). There was no uterine hematomas developed postoperatively in all patients. The symptoms were mostly relieved after 6 moths'follow-up and patients of the group A showed a rapid recovery time and lower rate of complaints.ConclusionVaginal myomectomy can be performed in selected patients with low complications, good short-term effect, minimum operative injury compared with abdominal myomectomy.

Toad venom as a Chinese traditional natural medicine with a kind of effective chemical components has been widely used for many disease.Recently more and more research was focused on its remarkable antitumor efforts, new studies have found that the mechanism was closely associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress,tumor-related inflammation, autophagy, mitochondria-induced apoptosis pathway, heat chock protein and immuneomodulatory.In this article we reviewed the antitumor research advances of toad venom and its active compounds from several aspects mentioned above.

Objective To explore the influence of immune and nutrition therapy on the rehabilitation of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods According to the different nutritional therapy,80 patients with severe traumatic brain injury were divided into the control group and observation group,each group 40 cases.The patients of the two groups were all given similarly conventional methods,and the observation group were given immune nutrition therapy,the control group were given routine nutrition therapy.After 14d,30d treattnent,nutritional status of the two groups were observed.Barthel Index,Fugl-Meyer score of the two groups of patients and recovery of neurological function were compared 3 months after treatment.Results After treatment,ALB and TF increased significantly (t =5.75,6.38,1.27,2.63,all P ＜ 0.05) ；ALB and TF in the observation group 14 d and 30 d after treatment were significantly higher than those of the control group (t =11.26,6.53,1.27,1.68,all P ＜ 0.05).After 3 months of treatment between the two groups,the clinical efficacy of the observation group was 60.00％,which was better than that of control group(37.50％) (χ2 =9.67,P ＜ 0.05),the differences of Barthel Index and,Fugl-Meyer score were statistically significant (t =3.24,2.88,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The immune and nutritional therapy can significantly promote the neurological function recovery of patients with severe traumatic brain injury,so as to improve the prognosis and the patients's quality of life.

Objective To compare the effect of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and vaginal reconstructive surgery (VR) on women with severe genital prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.Methods 43 patients with stage I or II vaginal anterior defect and stress urinary incontinence were assigned to TVT group(21 patients) and VR group (22 patients) . Results Maximum quantity of urine, pressure of detrusor at maximum quantity of urine, and abdominal leakage point pressure occured significantly in TVT group after operation(P<0.05). Postoperative satisfaction rate were higher in TVT group(P<0.05). Conclusion TVT is more effective to improve the quality of life in women with stress incontinence.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of tanshinone Ⅱ A on the apoptosis of HeLa cell line and its mechanism.METHODS:MTT was used to measure the levels of the proliferation of HeLa cells cultured with tanshinone Ⅱ A in different concentrations.The apoptosis was measured by Hoechst33258 staining,and the level of mRNA of Bcl-2 and bax in HeLa cells was tested by semi-fix quantify RT-PCR method.RESULTS:Tanshinone Ⅱ A could inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells in a dose dependent manner,induce cell apoptosis,and markedly decrease the expression of Bcl-2 on mRNA level after treatment for 48h,while it had no obvious change in bax mRNA level.CONCLUSION:Tanshinone Ⅱ A can inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and induce the apoptosis of the cells.

Sorafenib is a molecular targeted drug for the treatment of advanced primary liver cancer.However,along with the occurrence of drug resistance,the therapeutic effect was effected.At present,there is clear evidence that the emergence of drug resistance of live cancer is closely related to the epithelial-mesenchymal transition,liver cancer stem cells and the heterogeneity of liver cancer,and the PI3K/AKt signaling pathway as the vital common signaling channel was involved in the above mentioned process.From this we can conclude that complementary inhibtion of PI3K/AKt signaling pathway at the same time is the method that can strengthen the effect of sorafenib on the treatment of liver cancer so far.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of femoral vein thrombectomy for patients with acute deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs.Methods During June 2003 to August 2006,a succession of 43 patients with acute deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities received femoral vein thrombectomy in our hospital.An inferior vena cava filter was employed before the operation.Anticoagulation and regional thrombolysis were taken postoperatively.Analyse the data of operation procedure,curative effect and complications.Results The operation time ranged from 55 to 115 minutes with a mean of 92.6 minutes.Four of the patients received blood transfusion during the operation.The mean blood loss was 384.6 ml (100 to 1000 ml).Five patients showed transient fluctuation of blood pressure during the surgery.None of the patients had pulmonary embolism during and after the operation. Five patients developed lymph leakage from the incision at the inguinal area,and was cured in 1 week.One aged patient suffered from postoperative postatic pneumonia and was cured before being discharged;no other complications were found in this series.The thrombectomy achieved good outcomes in our patients.The edema and pain in the lower limbs were relieved quickly after the operation, the difference between the circumferences of the two legs decreaed from a median of 5.5 cm (thigh) and 4.0 cm (crus) to 1.5 cm and 1.0 cm (Z=-5.345,P=0.000 and Z=-5.461,P=0.000),respectively,32 of the patients received re-examination 6 months postoperation,none of them showed recurrent thrombosis.Conclusions Femoral vein thrombectomy is feasible and safe for serious acute deep vein thrombosis in the iliac and femoral veins.Patients can recover quickly after the operation.

Objective To investigate the value of the pre-occusion and stump pressure(SP)of the internal carotid artery in carotid endarterectomy(CEA).Methods During Januray 2007 to January 2009,12 patients with carotid arterial stenosis underwent CEA in our deparment.With cervical plexus block,we performed pre-occlusion test and measured the stump pressure(SP)by using vascular shunt selectively.The patients were monitored with clear consciousness during the whole procedure of CEA.The data of postoperative complications and results of pre-occlusion and SP as well as the follow-up were analyzed afterwards.Results During the operaion,three patients had transient increase of heart rate and blood pressure.The lowest SP was detected in two patients,who had moderate or severe stenosis of the contralateral carotid artery complicated with lesions in the vertebral basilar artery.Two patients showed positive results in pre-occusion test,and vascular shunt was used in four cases.After the operaion,one patients developed hyperperfusion syndrome.Nine patients showed improvement of symptoms of dizziness and decreased eyesight.This series were followed up for a mean of 11 months(ranged from 1 to 26 months).During the period,two of the patients showed re-stenosis of the carotid artery;none of them had cerebral infarction.Conclusions Cervical plexus block combined with pre-occusion test ensures the safty and effectiveness of minimally invasive carotid endarterectomy.We recommend selective vascular shunt according to the results of pre-occlusion test,SP,and the severity of the lesions in the contralateral carotid artery and vertebral basilar artery.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effect of combined injection of pingyangmycin (PYM) & dexame thasone (DXM) for the treatment of maxillofacial and cervical venous malformations.

METHODSFrom August 1995 to October 2008, 116 cases with maxillofacial and cervical venous malformations were retrospectively analyzed. The injection dilute was made with PYM 8 mg, DXM 10 mg and 2% lidocaine 2.0 ml (PYM 2 mg/ml). The PYM diluent 1.0-4.0 ml (including the PYM 2-8 mg) was injected into the tumor according to the patients age, tumor size and location. For children, PYM 2-4 mg was injected for one treatment. The needle should be inserted into tumor perpendicularly or from the edge of tumor. After withdrawing blood, the drug was injected into the tumor slowly. The injection could be repeated every 7-10 days. The clinical signs were recorded; ultrasonography and chest X-ray were performed to evaluate the therapeutic effect.

RESULTS1-5 treatments of injection were performed in the 116 patients. The tumor shrinked and disappeared after treatment with PYM 2-40 mg and DXM 5-50 mg. The patients were followed up for 3-5 years with no occurrence and complication.

CONCLUSIONSIt's safe, effective and practical to treat maxillofacial and cervical venous malformations by combined injection of PYM and DXM. The cosmetic appearance and function can be preserved at the most.
