Objective To explore the effect of different dosages of progynova in preventing intrauterine adhesions after transcervical resection of septum ( TCRS) under laparoscope. Methods Clinical data of 213 TCRS patients under laparoscope were retrospectively analyzed, and these cases were divided into four groups according to the dosages of progynova. Except for group A (n=26), group B, C, D were given 4,6,8 mg.d-1 of progynova.Endometrial thickness, menstrual blood volume, incidence rates of residual septal and intrauterine adhesions, rate of adverse effect, pregnancy rate after operation and rate of spontaneous abortion were compared among the four groups. Results The incidence rate of residual septal in group A, B, C, D was 11.5%, 6.9%, 6.0% and 6.3%, respectively.Incidence rate of intrauterine adhesions after operation was 46.2%, 12.5%, 9.0% and 4.2%, respectively.The pregnancy rate in group A, B, C and D was 30.8%, 59.7%, 58.2% and 60.4%, respectively. There were significant differences between group A and the other groups(all P<0.05).The high dose of progynova(8 mg.d-1) significantly increased endometrial thickness ( P<0. 05 ) and menstrual blood volume ( P<0. 05 ) . But the incidence rates of gastrointestinal tract reaction, hepatic damage and vaginal spotting in the high dose group of progynova increased obviously( P<0.05) . Conclusion Progynova is a safe and effective drug in preventing intrauterine adhesions after TCRS. It can effectively prevent intrauterine adhesions, increase pregnancy rate and improve pregnant outcome.

The prevalence of human papilloma virus (HPV)-16 in patients with cervical cancer, the physical status of HPV-16 in patients with cervical lesions, and the role of HPV-16 integration in cervical carcinogenesis were investigated. HPV genotyping was performed by using PCR approach with the primer GP5+/GP6+ and type-specific primer on biopsy specimens taken operatively from 198 women. Multiple PCR was done to detect physical status of HPV-16 in a series of cervical liquid-based cytology samples and biopsy specimens obtained from different cervical lesions with HPV-16 infection, including 112 specimens with cervical cancer, 151 specimens with CIN I, 246 specimens with CIN and 120 specimens with CINIII. The results showed that there were 112 cervical cancer samples (56.57% of total cervical cancer patients) with HPV-16 infection. The frequency of HPV-16 pure integration was 65.18% (73/112), 56.57% (47/120), 23.58% (58/246) and 7.95% (12/151) in cervical cancer, CINIII, CINII and CINI patients respectively. In situ hybridization was performed on some paraffin-embedded sections of CINII, CINIII and cervical cancer to verify the physical status of HPV-16 infection. Significant difference was observed between cervical cancer and CIN I, CINII, CINIII in the frequency of HPV-16 integration (P<0.01). It is suggested that HPV-16 is the most prevalent type and is associated with cervical cancer. In the case of HPV-16 infection there are close associations between the severity of cervical lesions and the frequency of HPV-16 integration. The application of testing HPV genotyping and physical status based on detection of HC-II HPV DNA would be in favor of predicting the prognosis of cervical precancerosis and enhancing the screening accuracy of cervical cancer.

Objective:To explore the effect of different nasal packing methods on the comfort of patients after operation.Methods:From January to August 2020, 216 patients with chronic sinusitis who were admitted to the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of Beijing Tongren Hospital by convenience sampling were selected as the research object. All patients underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery under general anesthesia. According to the different nasal packing materials, the patients were divided into the nasopore packing group (132 cases) and the silicone drainage tube packing group (84 cases) . The patients were investigated with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) one day before operation and four hours after operation.Results:After functional endoscopic sinus surgery, the score of facial pain in the silicone drainage tube packing group was higher than that in the nasopore packing group, and the score for nasal congestion was lower than that in the nasopore packing group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . There were no significant differences in postoperative runny nose, hyposmia, headache, ear stuffiness and overall discomfort scores between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Attention should be paid to postoperative headache, hyposmia, and general discomfort in chronic sinusitis patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery and nasal packing. The head and face pain in patients with postoperative nasal packing with silicone drainage tube should be paid attention to, and the drainage tube should be kept unobstructed. Patients with nasopore packing should be focused on postoperative nasal congestion symptoms.

The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of suppression of EphB4 and/or mTOR on the biological behaviors of ovarian cancer cells, and the potential regulatory pathways. Antisense EphB4 vectors and shRNA vectors targeting mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were constructed and transfected into A2780 and SKOV3 cells (two ovarian cancer cell lines). The effects of the antisense EphB4 vectors and the shRNA vectors on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of ovarian cancer cells were measured, and the expression of EphB4, mTOR and Akt detected. The results showed that transfection with mTOR shRNA could inhibit growth, induce apoptosis, and reduce invasive ability of ovarian cancer cells, which was accompanied by downregulation of EphB4, mTOR and Akt. The inhibitory effects on cell growth caused by mTOR shRNA alone were weaker than those by antisense pEGFP-C1-EphB4. In the antisense pEGFP-C1-EphB4-transfected cells, it was found that EphB4 knockdown could decrease the mTOR expression and slightly reduce the Akt phosphorylation. Significant suppressive effects on cell growth were observed in cells co-transfected with antisense pEGFP-C1-EphB4 and mTOR shRNA. In co-transfection group, the expression levels of EphB4, mTOR and Akt were distinctly lower than those in other groups. It was concluded that suppression of EphB4 may inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells by downregulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, and reverse Akt phosphorylation induced by mTOR shRNA. Inhibition of EphB4 and mTOR combined may cooperatively suppress the biological behaviors of ovarian cancer cells.

The superiority of the cumulative outcomes of day 5/6 embryo transfer to those of day 2/3 embryo transfer in infertile couples has been debated.This retrospective study included data collected from 1051 patients from July 2011 to June 2014.Multiple maternal baseline covariates were subjected to propensity score matching analysis,and each day 5/6 group woman was matched to one day 2/3 group woman.A systematic meta-analysis was conducted to validate the results.After matching was completed,217 patients on the day 2/3 group were matched with those on the day 5/6 group,and no significant differences in the baseline characteristics were observed between the two groups.The cumulative pregnancy rate (57.14% vs.53.46%,OR 1.16,95% CI 0.79-1.70) and cumulative live birth rate (53.00% vs.49.77%,OR 1.14,95% CI 0.78-1.66) of day 5/6 embryo transfers were higher than those of day 2/3 embryo transfers,but this difference was not significant.The mean cycles per live birth and mean days per live birth in the day 5/6 group were significantly lower than those in the day 2/3 group.This study demonstrated that day 5/6 embryo transfer is a more cost-effective and time-efficient policy than day 2/3 embryo transfer to produce a live baby.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play critical roles in the development and progression in various cancers.Dysfunctional miR-9 expression remains ambiguous,and no consensus on the metastatic progression of ovarian cancer has been reached.In this study,results from the bioinformatics analysis show that the 3'-UTR of the E-cadherin mRNA was directly regulated by miR-9.Luciferase reporter assay results confirmed that miR-9 could directly target this 3'-UTR.miR-9 and E-cadherin expression in ovarian cancer tissue was quantified by qRTPCR.Migration and invasion were detected by wound healing and Transwell system assay in SKOV3 and A2780.qRT-PCR and Western blot were performed to detect the epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated mRNA and proteins.Immunofluorescence technique was used to analyze the expression and subcellular localization of Ecadherin,N-cadherin,and vimentin.The results showed that miR-9 was frequently upregulated in metastatic serous ovarian cancer tissue compared with paired primary ones.Upregulation of miR-9 could downregulate the expression of E-cadherin but upregulate the expression of mesenchymal markers (N-cadherin and vimentin).Overexpression of miR-9 could promote the cell migration and invasion in ovarian cancer,and these processes could be effectively inhibited via miR-9 inhibitor.Thus,our study demonstrates that miR-9 may promote ovarian cancer metastasis via targeting E-cadherin and a novel potential therapeutic approach to control metastasis of ovarian cancer.
