Objective:To study the incidence,risk factors and clinical manifestaion for ectopic pregnancy(EP)after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET). Methods:A retrospective study of IVF and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) pregnancies was performed between January 2002 and July 2005. Results:A total of 668 woman conceived after IVF or ICSI were studied. The rate of EP was 8.2%,corresponding with 55 Eps,of which 15 were heteropic pregnancy(HP). There were 40 Hps in tubal facter group,There apper to be no relationship between d2 ET and d 3 ET,ovulation induction and age. Conclusions:Tubal pathology is associated risk of EP.

Based on the pathogenesis and symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), professor LIN Guohua's unique opinion and method for RA in clinical treatment are summarized and analyzed. In the opinion of Professor Lin, RA is considered as "Jinbi" and "Gubi" in TCM, which is caused by deficient root with superficial excess. Based on the symptoms of RA, attention should be focused on lung-kidney diagnosis and treatment, and gold and catgut implantation at acupoint can be mutually combined, which is aimed to provide a special and effective method for clinical treatment of RA.

[Objective] To observe the effect of acupoint massage and TCM featured nursing on peripheral facial paralysis. [Method] Randomly divide 90 cases into 2 groups, n=45 for each group; the control group takes general treatment and acupuncture, the observation group is added with facial acupoint massage coordinated with mental counseling, recovery training and other TCM featured nursing, 1 time/d. [Result] After 2~4w of treatment, observe their clinical effects, the results had marked difference. [Conclusion] The cure effect of the observation group was better than common acupuncture group, showing that facial acupoint massage coordinated with TCM featured nursing treating peripheral facial paralysis could promote patients ’early recovery, much reduce the sequelae.

Objective To observe the change of Wnt-β-catenin signaling's location and expression in kidney repair after acute kidney injury induced by ischemla reperfusion (I/R).Methods Ischemia reperfusion injury in BAT-gal reportor mice was made and blood sample was taken from tails on the 1th day after injury. Mice were sacrified on the 2th or 7th day and kidneys and blood were collected. Renal pathological change was observed by PAS stain. The changes of location and expression of Wnt-β-catenin signaling were detected by immunofluorescence costainning X-gal-LTL, X-gal-NKCC2, X-gal-DBA respectively. The protein expressions of the Wnt4 and co-receptor Lrp6 were assessed by Western blotting. Results PAS-stained kidney sections showed desquamative or flattened epithelia, necrotic debris on day 2 and regenerating tubules on day 7. An injury-induced enhancement of the Wnt pathway response (X-gal staining) in kidney cortex and out-medulla. Immunolabelling of kidney sections from injured BAT-gal mice revealed that X-gal staining was detected in kidney epithelial cells (double-labelled with LTL or NKCC2). Western blotting showed the Wnt4 protein was up-regulated and phospho-Lrp6, indicative of active canonical Wnt signaling, was noted in kidney cortex from day 2 after I/R, but in control kidney cortex pLrp6 was not detected. Conclusion Wnt-β-catenin signaling is activited after acute kidney I/R injury and is required for tubular epithelial repair and regeneration following kidney I/R injury.

Objective: To study clinical significance of endogenous vitamin C 、 E in patients With hypertension and stroke. Methods: The serum vitamin C、 E, Malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry in patients with hypertension (23 cases)、 hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (CH, 30 cases)、 ischemic cerebrovascular disorders (IC, 25 cases) and control groups (20 cases). Results: Compared with control group, at acute stage of stroke, the Vit C、 E and SOD levels significantly reduced (P＜0. 01), the MDA level significantly increased (P＜0.01); at convalescent stage, the Vit C、 E gradually recover to normal, the SOD still reduced (P＜0.05), the MDA still incresed (P＜0.05). Conclusion: The endogenous Vit C、 E have significant change in patients with acute stage of stroke, it gradually recovers to normal in convalescent stage. Meanwhile the SOD and MDA change accordingly.

The active form of vitamin D,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 \,is a secosteroid hormone that binds to the vitamin D receptor(VDR),a member of the superfamily of nuclear receptors for steroid hormones,thyroid hormone,and retinoic acid.1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its analogue regulate calcium and bone metabolism,control cell proliferation and differentiation,and exert immunoregulatory activities.Recent advances in understanding their functions and novel insights into the immunomodulatory mechanisms they control suggest a wider applicability in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and induction of allograft tolerance.In addition to direct effects on T cell activation,1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its analogue modulate with different mechanisms the phenotype and function of antigen-presenting cells(APC),and,in particular,of dendritic cells(DC).In vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its analogue induce DC to acquire tolerogenic properties that favor the induction of regulatory rather than effector T cells.These intriguing actions of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and its nanlogue have been demonstrated in several experimental models and could be exploited,in principle,to treat a variety of human autoimmune diseases,or inhibit allograft rejection.
