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.

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.

Familial hypercholesterolemia(FH) is a common autosomal dominant dyslipidemia,which is caused by mutations of the low-density lipoprotein receptor(LDLR) gene producing defect or deficiency in LDLR.The characters of FH are elevated level of total and LDL cholesterol.FH is considered to be a complex polygenic disease.Recently,more findings indicate that proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9) gene play an important role in serum cholesterol metabolism.Some mutated PCSK9 proteins decrease LDLR,which cause FH in affected families.Some other mutated PCSK9 proteins decrease self-affinity,which cause hypocholesterolemia.We review the newest researches about the structure,function ofPCSK9 gene and the relation of its mutations with plasma cholesterol metabolism.

Strategy Management” is one of the best management models of the western countries. It can create outstanding achievements, obtain the long-term profit at the best degree, and cultivate an excellent management group. The feature of the model is to discuss the relationship between strategy and action. It is a new model coming from commercial management, which combines the strategy thought with the organization action. In order to guide the higher medical education evaluation of our county, we should learn from the strategy management thought and the operative method.

Somatostatin(SS)is an inhibiting gut hor- mone that widely exists in central nervous system(CNS), gastrointestinal tract,pancreatic tissue.A lot of research- es indicate the anticancer activity of somatostatin ana- logue.It was reported to suppress proliferation of endo- crine tumors,especially some solid tumors in digestive system.This review summarizes the progress on mecha- nism of somatostatin analogue(SSTA)and its influences on colon cancer of in recent years.

Chinese traditional surgery, an important branch of traditional Chinese medicine, has contributed greatly to the people's health in the history. With the fast development of modern medicine, Chinese traditional surgery is faced with serious challenges and its shortcomings have appeared more and more evident. In this article, the authors analyzed some problems in the development of Chinese traditional surgery and the opportunities for its further development, and suggested that the superiorities of Chinese traditional surgery should be enhanced in its future development.
