Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of Foley catheter(FC)and vaginal prostaglandin E2 suppository(PGE2,Propess)for cervical ripening and labor induction in fullterm pregnant women with unfavorable cervix.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted.Women with a term or post-term,live,singleton fetus in cephalic presentation,intact membranes,Bishop score＜6,not in labor,medically indicated for labor induction from June 2009 to December 2009 in Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were randomly divided into two groups:FC group(n=64)and Propess group(n=62).In FC group,a 16-F Foley catheter was inserted into patient's cervical canal; once past the internal os,the balloon was inflated with 80 ml saline.Intravenous oxytocin was initiated after the balloon was spontaneously extruded from the cervix or after 24 hours.In Propess group,vaginal Propess was used.x2 or Fisher's exact test and t test were used to compare the outcomes,delivery mode and induction success rate between the two groups.Results There were no significant differences in gestational weeks,Bishop score,indication of induction,improvement of Bishop score,success rate of induction,rate of vaginal delivery,total duration of labor and volume of postpartum hemorrhage between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05,respectively).Propess group had a higher rate of vaginal birth within 24 hours[56.5％(35/62)vs 28.1％(18/64),t=10.37,P＜0.05],a higher risk for excessively frequent and hard uterine contraction[17.7％(11/62)vs 0.0％(0/64),P＜0.05]and lower incidence of oxytocin induction/augmentation during labor[21.0％(13/62)vs 87.5％(56/64),x2 =56.27,P＜0.05]than those of FC group.There were no differences in neonatal Apgar score,meconium staining and neonatal birth weight between the two groups.Puerperal infection occured in neither group.Conclusions Under strict control of indication and aseptic manipulation,Foley catheter was as effective and safe as Propess for cervical ripening with lower risk of excessive uterine activity.It is suggested that Foley catheter could be used for cervical ripening,especially in patients with economic difficulty.

Objective To establish an animal model of preeclampsia by injecting ultra-low-dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to rats in early pregnancy,and to lay the foundation for further study on mechanisms of preeclampsia.Methods Twenty-four pregnant rats were divided into six groups according to the random number table and were injected with LPS 0.3,0.5,0.7,1.0,2.0 μg/kg or saline 2 ml respectively through tail veins on day 5 of pregnancy.The differences in blood pressure,urinary protein and pathological changes in placenta among groups were compared to confirm the suitable dose of LPS for establishing preeclamptic model.Then another 19 pregnant rats were injected with the chosen dose of LPS slowly through tail veins on day 5 of pregnancy; 15 of which were chosen as model group; the other four were chosen as postpartum group.Three non-pregnant rats were as non-pregnant group.Besides,another 15 pregnant rats were injected with saline as pregnant control group.Systolic blood pressure,urinary protein excretion,placental weight,fetal weight,serum white blood cell counts,blood platelet counts,plasma anti-thrombin-Ⅲ content,D-dimer content were examined and compared among groups with one way analysis of variance; histopathologic studies were also done on the placentas,kidneys and aortas of the rats.Results (1) Placental weight of LPS 0.3 μg/kg group increased compared with control group.One pregnant rats(1/4) in LPS 1.0 μg/kg group and LPS 2.0 μg/kg group died on day 16 of pregnancy as a result of vaginal bleeding.Systolic blood pressure of LPS 0.5 μg/kg group rose steadily,while no significant changes were found in other groups.Urinary protein increased in all LPS groups,while urinary protein of LPS 0.7 μg/kg group and LPS 1.0 μg/kg group peaked on day 12 of pregnancy and then decreased; urinary protein of LPS 0.5 μg/kg group increased most significantly,and fetus in LPS 0.5,0.7 and 2.0 μg/kg groups had lighter body weight.So LPS 0.5 μg/kg was chosen as the suitable dose to establish preeclamptic model.(2)Compared with pregnant control group,model group had higher systolic blood pressure [(124.89±1.79) mm Hg vs (119.02±1.80) mm Hg,LSD test,P=0.03] from day 6 of pregnancy,more urinary protein [(2.02±0.29) mg vs (1.11±0.18) mg,LSD test,P=0.00] from day 9 of pregnancy,more absorbed embryos [3.6％ (7/194) vs 0.0％ (0/200),Fisher exact test,P=0.01] at day 20 of pregnancy,higher incidence of placenta bleeding [4.1％ (8/194) vs 0.0％ (0/200),Fisher exact test,P=0.00] and fetal growth restriction [13.9％ (27/194) vs 6.0％ (12/200),X2=6.92,Fisher exacttest,P=0.01].Model group showed more inflammatory cells infiltration in the placenta,more glomerular mesangial cells,swelling and desquamated of renal tubular epithelial cells compared to control group.Blood pressure and urinary protein of the model group recovered to the baseline at the sixth day of postpartum,and no changes in blood pressure and urinary protein were found in non-pregnant rats.Conclusions Injection of LPS 0.5 μg/kg on day 5 of pregnancy through tail veins could induce the clinical symptoms of preeclampsia in rats,which might be an ideal model for further preeclampsia research.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects and improvement of serum hormone levels of kidney tonifying and blood circulation recipe and mirena in the treatment of perimenopasual dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Methods:92 cases of perimenopausal patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding in our hospital from July 2013 to November 2016 were selected and divided into group A and group B with 46 cases in each group.Group A was orally administered with kidney tonifying and blood circulation recipe,and group B was administered with mirena.Both groups were treated for 3 periods.The efficacy and incidences of adverse effect in two groups were observed.The levels of serum hormones and hemoglobin (Hb),and endometial thickness (ET) were detected in two groups.The indices of serum hormone included follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH),progestone (P) and estradiol (E2).Results:No significant difference was found in the total effective rate between two groups (P＞0.05).After treatment,the levels of serum FSH,LH,E2 and P as well as ET and Hb in both groups were all significantly lower than those before treatment (P＜0.01),and the levels of serum FSH,LH,E2 and P as well as ET of group B were significantly lower than those of group A (P＜0.01),no significant difference in the Hb level between two groups (P＞0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions of group B (15.22％) was significantly higher than that of group A(0％) (P＜0.01).Conclusions:The kidney tonifying and blood circulation recipe had similar effect as mirena in the treatment of perimenopasual dysfunctional uterine bleeding,while mirena had strong improving effect in serum hormone level and ET,kidney tonifying and blood circulation recipe had higher security.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of ZHU Lian's acupuncture activating method with type 1 manipulations in treating hypotonic cerebral palsy.Method Sixty patients with hypotonic cerebral palsy, aged 9-59 months, were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by ZHU Lian's acupuncture activating method with type 1 manipulations, while the control group was intervened by acupoint injection of vitamin B1 and B12. The two groups were treated once a day, 5 sessions as a treatment course. The Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) was evaluated before the treatment and after 10 treatment courses.Result The GMFM-88 score was significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05). After the intervention, the GMFM-88 score in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion ZHU Lian's acupuncture activating method is an effective approach in treating hypotonic cerebral palsy.

Objective To observe the expressions of C/EBPs mRNA and protein in the sebaceous gland and to study the relationship between C/EBPs and the differentiation of sebocytes. Methods RT-PCR and immunhischemistry were used to detect the expressions of C/EBPs mRNA and protein in the embryo and adult sebaceous glands. Results The lowest expression of C/EBP? mRNA in the sebaceous gland was found in embryonic period, but increased gradually during the developmental stages. The expression of C/EBP? mRNA in the sebaceous gland showed different expression patterns, i.e. it maintained at low level in all of the developmental stages. Expressions of C/EBP? and ? protein were found in the nuclei of sebocytes in embryonic period but in the basal cell layer of sebaceous glands in maturation phase. Conclusion The expression patterns of C/EBPs are different in the sebaceous gland from embryonic to adult stages, suggesting that C/EBP? and ? may play important roles in the development of human sebaceous gland.

ObjectiveTo discuss the application of neurophysiological monitoring (NEPM), intraoperative color Doppler ultrasonography, fluorescein angiography and neuroendoscope in clinical effects of intracranial giant aneurysm microsurgey.
