Objective To summarise the clinical characteristics, treatment and prognostic analysis of relapse in vaginal stump after treatment of cervical cancer and endometrial cancer, and to offer assistance to clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical data of 28 patients (admitted in our hospital from Sepetember 2002 to July 2014) with cervical cancer and endometrial cancer after a simple hysterecto-my were retrospectively analyzed. According to the illness, the 28 cases were given partial vagina resection, total vaginal resection and ex-panded vaginal resection. Observe whether the prognostic is in correlation with lymph node metastasis, adjacent organs involvement, interval of recurrence and tissue differentiation degree. Results Median survival time of patients with well or poor differentiation were 40 and 15 months respectively(P<0. 05);and the 3 year survival rates were 66. 1% and 30. 7% respectively (P=0. 03). Median survival time of pa-tients with or without lymph node metastasis were 18 and 40 months respectively (P< 0. 05);and the 3 year survival rates were 0 and 24%respectively(P<0. 05). Median survival time for interval of recurrence of more than 24 months and less than or equal to 24 months were 28 and 16 months respectively (P<0. 05). Conclusion The surgical treatment of vaginal stump carcinoma is safe and effective, and the prog-nostic is in correlation with lymph node metastasis, adjacent organs involvement, interval of recurrence and tissue differentiation degree.

Objective To establish a model of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in the elderly (MODSE) by intraperitoneal injection of different doses of zymosan, and to compare the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in adult and in the elderly rats. Methods Adult and senile rats, injected with different doses of zymosan intraperitoneally were examined for the changes in the function and morphology of the vital organs, including heart, liver, brain, lungs, and kidneys using blood gas and biochemistry analysis and histopathological examination methods. Results Compared with the normal controls of the adult and the elderly rats, the blood gas and blood biochemistry changed in different degrees in the different dosed zymosan groups. Pathological changes were also found in the vital organs including lungs, heart, liver, brain, kidneys, erc in the experimental groups. Under the same concentrations of zymosan, the reductions in respiratory, cardiac and renal functions in the senile groups were much more severe than those in the corresponding adult group. In the similar degree of model duplication, the senile rats had the tendency to die later than the adult rats. Conclusions Zymosan can be used in both elderly and adult rats to induce MODS model, and the best dosage for MODSE was 0.Sg/kg injected peritoneally. The model would hopefully be used in the study of mechanisms and the therapeutics on MODSE.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and treatment outcome of Kallmann syndrome(KS) caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor-1(FGFR1) gene mutation in 4 patients.Methods:Targeted next-generation sequencing(NGS) was performed on thirty KS and normosmic idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism(nIHH) patients. FGFR1 mutation was identified in four KS patients. The clinical data, laboratory and imaging examinations, and treatment outcome were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Four male patients, aging from 11 to 22 years old, presented as micropenis, and with olfactory dysfunction. Among them, two had history of cryptorchidism, three had history of cleft lip and palate repair surgery. The most severe patient presented with short stature, left microtia and dental agenesis. FGFR1 heterozygous mutation was identified in all four patients, two were point mutation(p.Y374X; p. E670K), and the other was frameshift mutation(p.S346Yfs*61; p.S723*fs*1). One patient, who started treatment of the pulsatile GnRH pump during his youth, succeeded in having two babies.Conclusion:Patients with Kallmann syndrome caused by FGFR1 mutation presents complex clinical manifestations. Besides dysosmia, micropenis, microrchidia, and delayed pubertal development are the main clinical manifestations in male patients. Symptoms such as cleft lip and palate are helpful for early recognition. Genotyping analysis is crucial to confirm the diagnosis. The pulsatile GnRH pump can produce satisfactory therapeutic effect, but the age of initiating therapy should be carefully considered.
