Objective To study the abdominal and pelvic adipose tissue volume and distribution in patients with malignant gynecologic tumor and benign gynecologic disease prospectively .Methods Eighty patients with malignant gynecologic tumor and eighty patients with benign gynecologic disease were underwent abdominal and pelvic CT scan by 64‐slice spiral CT and QCT cali‐bration phantom .The area and the volume of TAT ,VAT ,SAT of abdomen and(or) pelvis(TFV ,VFV ,SFV and VFV/SFV) were measured and calculated .The differences between the malignant gynecologic tumor group and the benign gynecologic disease group and between the different stages or types of malignant gynecologic tumor groups were compared ,then the distribution of AT was analyzed .Results (1)Except the VFV of abdomen and pelvis ,there were differences in TFV ,VFV and SFV between the malignant gynecologic tumor group and the benign gynecologic disease group(P<0 .05) ,the former was higher .(2)There were differences in abdominal and pelvic TFV ,VFV ,SFV between the early‐stage and the advanced‐stage malignant gynecologic tumor group and be‐tween the early‐stage and the benign gynecologic disease group(P< 0 .05) ,the early‐stage group was the highest;there was no difference between the advanced‐stage and the benign gynecologic disease group(P>0 .05) .There were differences in VFV/SFV between the early‐stage and the benign gynecologic disease group and between the advanced‐stage and the benign gynecologic dis‐ease group(P<0 .05) ,the benign gynecologic disease group was the highest ;there was no difference between the early‐stage and the advanced‐stage group(P>0 .05) .(3)There was no difference in abdominal and pelvic TFV ,VFV ,SFV ,VFV/SFV between the en‐dometrial carcinoma and the cervical carcinoma group(P>0 .05) .(4)There were positive correlations between abdominal or pelvic VFV ,SFV and abdominal and pelvic TFV ,the abdominal SFV was the highest .Conclusion The patients with malignant gyneco‐logic tumor ,especially in the early‐stage ,were much fatter than the patients with benign gynecologic disease .In malignant gyneco‐logic tumor patients ,the SAT increased more significantly than the VAT ,and had the highest correlation with TAT ,and was the mainly composition of obesity .

【Objective】 To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of neurodegenerative lesions in male mice caused by ozone exposure. 【Methods】 We divided 23 C57BL/6N male mice aged 8 to 9 months into control group (clean air group, 11) and ozone group (1 mg/m 3, 4h/d, 12). After 8 weeks of continuous ozone exposure, the Morris water maze experiment was used to detect the mice’s learning and memory ability, HE dyeing to observe pathological changes in hippocampal tissue cells, and immunoprinting tests to detect the expression levels of Tau, p-Tau and α-synuclein proteins in the cerebral cortex tissue. 【Results】 After 8 weeks of ozone exposure, the mice’s spatial learning and memory ability were impaired to a certain extent, the incubation period decreased with time, and the two lines were separated, but the difference was not statistically significant. Ozone exposure caused changes in the morphology of the mice’s hippocampal tissue cells, disorders in the arrangement of hippocampal neuron, and nuclear wrinkles, and significantly increased levels of p-Tau and α-synuclein protein expressions in cerebral cortex tissues (P<0.01), but there was no statistical significance in the total Tau expression level. 【Conclusion】 Ozone exposure leads to the loss of learning and memory in mice, changes in hippocampal neurocellular pathology, and increased expression levels of neurodegenerative variable-related proteins.
