Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2001;0(05):-
Objective To evaluate the outcomes of single-point anastomosis of the fallopian tube under a laparoscope.Methods Totally,31 patients(58 fallopian tubes)were treated with laparoscopic single-point anastomosis using 3-mm laparoscopic instruments after ligation(17 cases)or failed hysteroscopic recanalization(14)of the fallopian tubes.Ureteral catheter or transcervical guidewire or stents were used if the sizes of the tubes were irregular.Results The 58 fallopian tubes were anastomosed successfully by a single operation.Radiography performed 3 months postoperation showed bilateral fallopian tube occlusion in 2 patients,and lateral tube occlusion in 5.The postoperative patency rate was 84.5%(49/58).A 6-to 36-month follow-up was carried out in 26 of the 31 patients.Among the 26 patients,17 had uterine pregnancy with a pregnancy rate of 65.4%(17/26),2 patients had fallopian tubal pregnancy,and 7 had no pregnancy.Conclusions Laparoscopic single-point anastomosis is feasible after ligation or failed recanalization of the fallopian tube.Patients have less surgical trauma,faster recovery and less intra-abdominal injury by treating with the procedure.

Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine are important signaling molecules in both intracellular and extracellular microenviroments of cells. They exert cytoxic and apoptotic effects in some tissues such as tumor. The proapoptotic mechanisms of adenosine and its receptors are involved in Adenylyl cyclase(AC), cAMP, Ca 2+ , etc. Apoptosis induced by ATP is as sociated with several purinergic receptors including P2X_1, P2X_2, P2X_7, P2Y_1, P2Y_2, et al, it is also involved in FasL/FasR, T cell receptor(TCR), and gene regulations of bcl-2 and bax.

Objective To improve the influence on physical and mental health of nurses caused by frequent night shifts in order to stabilize the nursing care ranks and sublimate comprehensively the quality of nursing. Methods We selected night shift nurses working at clinical departments at random, divided into the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group was provided coffee and milk at the fixed period of night time, however, the control group was not supplied during the night shift.We designed questionnaire according to the Comell Medical Index (CMI), the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) and the needing of the research. In addition, we determined the concentrations of adrenal eortisol and blood glucose in the experimental group and the control group. Results The experimental group compared with the control group had stronger excitability, more active enthusiasm. Coffee and milk eliminated sleepiness during work without affecting sleep after work, and increased significantly the concentrations of adrenal cortisol and blood glucose, the difference had statistical significance. Conclusions With the supply of specific nutrients to night shift nurses can interfere and eliminate anthropogenicly night shift nurses sleepiness and fatigue, reduce nursing accident rate, and improve quality of care.

Objective:To investigate the root and canal morphology of mandibular first permanent molars in adolescents by cone-beam computered tomography (CBCT).Methods:366 mandibular first permanent molars in 1 83 adolescents aged 1 2 -1 6 years were examined by CBCT from July,201 2 to December,201 3.The age,sex,the number of roots and canals and canal morphology were re-corded.The data were statistically analyzed by software SPSS 1 9.0.Results:365 mandibular first permanent molars showed single mesial root except one with C-shaped root;282(77.05%)teeth had one distal root,83(22.68%)had two.356(97.27%)teeth had two mesial canals and 9(2.46%)had one.229(62.57%)teeth had one distal root with one canal,53(1 4.48%)had one distal root with two canals.83(22.68%)had two distal roots with one canal in each root,one (0.27%)had C-shaped root with three canals. There were no significant differences between males and females and between the two sides on the number of roots and number of ca-nals.Conclusion:Majority of mandibular first molars have two roots,the root change occurs in distal root.The prevalence of three-rooted mandibular first molars has no significant difference between genders and 2 sides.

AIM To study the growth inhibition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine (ADO) on cultured tumor cells in vitro. METHODS MTT assays were used to determine the inhibition of proliferation of ATP and ADO on several tumor cell lines, including human squamous esophageal carcinoma cells TE-13, human stomach carcinoma cells HGC-27 and human erythroleukemia cells K562. The morphological changes of ATP and ADO on the cell lines were observed under light microscope. RESULTS ATP and ADO produced a certain inhibition effect on TE-13, HGC-27, K562 cells at different concentration between 0.01~1.0 mmol?L -1. The maxium inhibition fraction of TE-13, HGC-27, K562 cells exposed to ATP for 72 h was 80.52%, 58.67% and 45.07%, respectively; and to ADO for 72 h, was 74.03%, 52% and 30.99%, respectively. Under light microscope, the tumor cells exposed to higher concentration(1 mmol?L -1) of ATP and ADO displayed morphological changes of apoptosis. CONCLUSION These results suggested that ATP has a certain cytotoxic effect on several tumor cell lines, it might partly be related to ADO. Its mechanism might involve apoptosis.

Objective To studytherolesof hypoxia-inducible factor-lalpha( HIF-1α )and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in the pathogenesis of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension ( HPH) in neonatal rats.Methods Wistar neonatal rats were assigned into HPH group and the control group using random number table method. Neonatal rats in HPH group were exposed to hypoxia according to HPH model. On day 3 , 7 ,14 and 210f hypoxia,the mean pulmonary artery pressure ( mPAP) , the level of mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1α and VEGF in lung tissue were examined using RT-PCR and Western blot methods respectively. The correlation of HIF-1,VEGF and mPAP were also analyzed. Results The mPAP ( mmHg)in HPH group on day 3 ,7 ,14 and 210f hypoxia were all higher than the control up[8.5±1.5)vs.5.2±1.0),(12.1±2.1)vs.9.6±0.8),(12.9±2.0)vs.(9.1±0.8),(21.0±2. 3) vs. (11. 2 + 1. 6) ,P < 0. 05]. 0n day 3, 7 and 140f hypoxia,the mRNA of HIF-1α in lung tissue of HPH group were significantly higher than the control group ( P <0. 05 ) . On day 70f hypoxia, the HIF-1αprotein in lung tissue of HPH group was significantly higher than the control group(P <0. 05 ) . On day 7 ,14 and 210f hypoxia,the mRNA and protein of VEGF in lung tissue of HPH group were also significantly higher than the control group( P <0. 05 ). Correlation analysis showed that HIF-1α protein were positively correlated with mPAP on day 3 ,7 . 14 and 210f hypoxia in HPH group ( r = 0. 504 .P = 0. 002) , and VEGF protein were positively correlated with mPAP in HPH group on day 7 , 14 and 210f hypoxia( r = 0. 782, P < 0. 001) .Conclusion Both HIF-1α and VEGF play roles in the occurrence and development of HPH in neonatal rats.

Objective To identify factors that might affect establishing pregnancy following conservative treatment by medroxyprogesterone acetate ( MPA)for well -differentiated endometrioid adenocarcinoma ( EC) or a-typical endometrial hyperplasia(AEH).Methods A retrospective study of 65 patients with EC/AEH were divid-ed into a pregnancy group ( n=34 ) and a non -pregnancy group ( n=31 ) .The influent factors on establishing pregnancy were detected by statistical analysis .Results There was no significant difference in clinical character-istics between pregnancy group and non -pregnancy group .There were significantly different between pregnancy group and non-pregnancy in the duration of MPA administration ,the time to disappearance of lesions ,the age of pregnancy permission ,the number of D&C procedures performed ,and endometrial thickness during ovulation ( P<0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that the recurrence (OR=2.323,P=0.015),endo-metrial thickness during ovulation (OR=0.283,P <0.001),and age of pregnancy permission (OR=2.524,P=0.039) were significant factors affecting pregnancy outcomes .Conclusion Recurrence, endometrial thickness during ovulation ,and the age of the pregnancy permission were considered to affect pregnant establishment follow -ing conservative treatment with MPA .Assisted reproductive technology immediately after achieving tumor disap-pearance by MPA would therefore be beneficial for patients with disease recurrence ,thin endometrium ,or a higher age of pregnancy permission .
