[Summary] Endometrial receptivity plays an important role in embryo implantation, and uterine fibroids is the most common benign tumor in reproductive women. In recent years, research has showed that uterine fibroids may have an effect on endometrial receptivity through the change of endometrial morphology and biochemical molecules. From the angle of effects of uterine fibroids on endometrial receptivity, this paper studied infertile patients, which may have a new idea to diagnose and treat infertility caused by uterine fibroids.

Objective To study the effect of the toothpaste containing FE enzyme on oral care to for critically ill patients with stroke. Methods Sixty cases of critically ill stroke patients were randomly divided into the experiment group and the control group with 30 cases in each group.The toothpaste containing FE enzyme was used in experiment group for oral care,and the routine oral care was used in the control group.The two groups were compared in terms of the oral cleaning effect,dental plaque and costs for the oral care.Results The incidences of bad breath,oral uncleanness and oral infection were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.01 or P<0.05). The dental plaque index after oral care was significantly lower in the experiment group than that in the control group(P<0.001).The cost in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Oral care using toothpaste containing FE enzymecan not only achieve an effective oral cleaning purpose,but also reduce the cost of oral care.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of active immunization combined with dydrogesterone in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion,and the expression of serum leptin(LP)and adiponectin(ADPN).Methods 51 cases of inpatient and outpatient treatment of repeated abortion of 51 pregnant women from January 2014 to December 2015 in Ningbo Fenghua People's Hospital of Zhejiang Province were selected,and 50 cases of normal pregnant women and normal nonpregnant women 50 cases as a control object.Depending on the treatment method,patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion were divided into combination group(n=26)and monotherapy group(n=25).The levels of LP,ADPN and β-HCG were measured before and after treatment,and the number of successful pregnancies.Results The levels of LP and ADPN in serum were measured in three groups of women,there were statistically significant differences between the two groups(P<0.05).The serum levels of β-HCG in the pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous abortion group were(3914.5±2548.2)mIU,and the normal pregnancy group was(7124.5±2847.6)mIU,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of LP,ADPN and β-HCG in the combination group were significantly increased,and successful pregnancy as high as 88.46％,better than the level of monotherapy group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum LP,ADPN lower levels of pregnant women prone to recurrent spontaneous abortion,through active immunization combined with dexamethasone treatment,can significantly improve the hormone level,improve the success rate of pregnancy.

Objective To study the effect of glutamate on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and protein in cultured rat astrocytes. Methods Cultured rat astrocytes were randomly divided into 6 groups: control group (C), glutamate group (G), QA group (Q), DCG-IV group (D), L-AP4 group (L) and glutanmte-FMCPG gronp (G+M). Cells were cultured under nomoxic condition (95% air, 5% CO2). RT-PCR and ELISA methods were used to detect the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in cultured astrocytes, respectively. G+ M group was preincubated with lmM MCPG for 30 min prior to the stimulation with glutamate. There were 7 time points at 0,4,8,12,16,24 and 48 h in each group except G+M group. Results The expression of VEGF mRNA and protein did not differ significantly among D group, L group and C group. Different from that in C group, the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein could be enhanced both in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner in G group and Q group. Meanwhile, the enhanced expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in G group was completely suppressed by MCPG after 24 h. Conclusion Glutamate can increase the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in cultured astrocytes, which may be due to the activation of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors in astrocytes.

AIM:To explore the association between single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 33 (E33SNP) of thyroglobulin gene and Graves ’ disease ( GD) relapse after antithyroid drug ( ATD) withdrawal .METHODS:The healthy controls (232 cases) and GD patients with discontinued treatment (243 cases) were selected.According to the time of re-lapse, the GD patients were divided into A, B and C subgroups.The A group contained 77 cases of relapse within 1 year, B group contained 86 cases of relapse 1~2 years after treatment and C group contained 80 cases without recurrence within 2 years.The genotypes of E33SNP were identified by RT-PCR.The genotype ratio of thyroglobulin between control group and observation group was comparatively analyzed , and the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone ( TSH) , free triiodothyro-nine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb), ophthalmopathy and goiter size in A , B and C subgroups in different genotype GD patients were investigated .Moreover , cumulative efficiency for patients with different genotypes in the observation group after ATD treatment within 2 years were analyzed .RESULTS:The genotype of E33SNP between observation group and control group had no significant difference , but a significant difference between A , B and C subgroups was observed (P<0.05).The levels of TSH, FT3 and FT4, and goiter size of the patients with different geno-types had no significant difference , while the TRAb levels and ophthalmopathy presented a significant difference ( P <0.05).In addition, the cumulative efficiency within 2 years for GD patients with E33SNP T/T, E33SNP T/C and E33SNP C/C genotypes was 61.8%, 42.6% and 21.3%, respectively, all with significant differences (P<0.05).CONCLU-SION:The GD patients with E33SNP C/C genotype have significantly higher TRAb level and ophthalmopathy rate than those in the patients with E33SNP C/T and E33SNP C/C genotypes, and are more likely to relapse after ATD treatment . The GD patients with E33SNP T/T genotype show a lower recurrence rate .Therefore, combination treatment or other treat-ment modalities may be more reasonable for the GD patients with E 33SNP C/C genotype.
