Objective To study anti-tumor effects on human ovarian cancer xenografted tumors in mice by constructing adenoviral expression vector containing canstatin gene and hTERT gene core promoter (AdhTERT-Can). Methods AdhTERT-Can vector was constructed and identified by means of enzyme cutting, electrophoresis and sequencing. Then, transfected into HO8910PM cells by means of lipofectamine and confirmed by green fluorescence protein(GFP) expression under laser confocus microscope. The mRNA expression of canstatin gene was tested by RT-PCR. Human ovarian cancer xenografted tumor models in nude mice were established and randomly divided into AdhTERT-Can group received viral supematant solution of AdhTERT-Can by tail vein injection, Ad-Can groups received viral supernatant solution of Ad-Can by tail vein injection, and control groups received phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The volume of tumors were measured and compared in each group to evaluated the anti-tumor efficacy. Results All the constructed vectors of AdhTERT-Can were verified by enzymed digestion. There were green fluorescence from 60% of HO8910PM cells transfected by AdhTERT-Can under laser confocus microscope, and the mRNA expression of canstafin gene in HO8910PM cells were also verified by RT-PCR The growth of tumor in AdhTERT-Can group was significantly inhibited compared with those in Ad-Can groups and control groups from the 8th day (P <0.01 ). However, there were not significant difference between Ad-Can group and PBS group (P> 0.05). On the 30th day, the tumors showed liquefaction necrosis and cystic degeneration in each group, especially in AdhTERT-Can group. Conclusions The recombinant adenovirus vector of AdhTERT-Can has been constructed successfully and could steady express in ovarian cancer cell lines HO8910PM. The results shown that it could inhibit significantly the growth of human ovarian cancer xenografted tumors in mice and shown to be the target of gene therapy.

Objective To summarise the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognostic analysis of relapse in vaginal stump after treatment of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, and to offer assistance to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical data of 28 patients (admitted in our hospital from Sepetember 2002 to July 2014) with cervical cancer and endometrial cancer after a simple hysterecto-my were retrospectively analyzed. According to the illness, the 28 cases were given partial vagina resection, total vaginal resection and ex-panded vaginal resection. Observe whether the prognostic is in correlation with lymph node metastasis, adjacent organs involvement, interval of recurrence and tissue differentiation degree. Results Median survival time of patients with well or poor differentiation were 40 and 15 months respectively(P<0. 05);and the 3 year survival rates were 66. 1% and 30. 7% respectively (P=0. 03). Median survival time of pa-tients with or without lymph node metastasis were 18 and 40 months respectively (P< 0. 05);and the 3 year survival rates were 0 and 24%respectively(P<0. 05). Median survival time for interval of recurrence of more than 24 months and less than or equal to 24 months were 28 and 16 months respectively (P<0. 05). Conclusion The surgical treatment of vaginal stump carcinoma is safe and effective, and the prog-nostic is in correlation with lymph node metastasis, adjacent organs involvement, interval of recurrence and tissue differentiation degree.

Objective To evaluate the method for vaginal treconstruction with muscle sparing verti-cle rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap(MS-VRAM flap). Methods From September 2006 to April 2008, MS-VRAM flaps were used for vaginal reconstruction in 9 patients (20 to 35 years old), ancl all ca-ses were congenital absence of vagina. Before operation, the inferior epigastrie arteries were detected by the Doppler and the flaps based on the perforators ranged from 6 cm×20 cm. MS-VRAM flaps were ele-vated and then transferred to reconstruct the vagina. Results All 9 cases of MS-VRAM flaps survived completely. No complications occurred at donor site of abdominal wall. With 2-12 months' follow-up, the patients were satisfied with the results. Conclusion Despite technical difficulties in elevating the MS-VRAM flap, the flap is a good choice for vaginal reconstruction.
