Objective To investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP 9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1(TIMP 1) mRNA in the endometrium during mid luteal phase in women with unexplained infertility and its steroidal regulation Methods In situ hybridization method was utilized to detect the location of MMP 9 and TIMP 1 mRNA. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR) method was utilized to detect and quantitate MMP 9 and TIMP 1 mRNA expression levels in the endometrium during mid luteal phase. Serum concentration of estradiol (E 2) and progesterone (P) were measured by radioimmunoassay. Thirty eight patients with unexplained infertility were included as study group, and 20 women with male factor infertility or normal volunteers were selected as control group. Results MMP 9 and TIMP 1 mRNA were diffusely distributed in the cytoplasm and neuclei of glandular and stromal cells. Their staining in control group were more abundant than those in study group. Endometrial MMP 9 and TIMP 1 mRNA expression during mid luteal phase showed by RT PCR in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (0.42?0.19 Vs 0.57?0.19, P

ObjectiveTo report 18 cases of Bowen dis ea se and erythroplasia of Queyrat.MethodsClinicopatholog ical data of 18 cases of Bowen disease and erythroplasia of Queyrat were present ed.10 cases (mean age 49 year)underwent circumcision and local resection and 8 c ases electric coagulation.Results15 cases have been fo llowed up for 4～48 months.2 cases had new disease at an untreated area and the o ther 13 have been free of the disease.Recurrence ocurred in 2 were cured with 5% 5-fluorouracil cream external application.ConclusionsThe result of the surgical treatment for Bowen disease and erythroplasia of Qu eyrat is good and an alternative therapy with 5-fluorouracil for external appli cation may be considered.Adequate biopsy including deeper tissue is necessary fo r differential diagnosis between carcinoma in situ and invasive penile carcinoma or a variety of lesions of the male genitalia.

Objective To study the clinical and pathological features of a case of retroperitoneal desmoplastic small round cell tumor. Methods One case of desmoplastic small round cell tumor was presented with review of the literature. Results A 11 years old child complained of abdominal pain and a 9.0 cm?6.0 cm?3.0 cm cystic tumor located in the left retroperitoneal space near the left kindey was resected.The connective tissue was significantly proliferated around the tumor cell nests. Immunohistochemical staining revealed CD 99 (+) and EWS/WT1 (+). After resection of the tumor,chemotherapy was performed with DDP?ifosfamide and VP16. No tumor recorrence has been noted 16 months after operation. Conclusions Desmoplastic small round cell tumor has specific clinicopathologic stigmata occuring usually in young males and the tumor was characterized by expression of MIC2 gene product CD 99 and the EWS/WT1 protein. Surgical resection with cheomotherapy is the treatment of choice.

Objective To discuss the indication and efficacy for treating hypospadias with ure-throplasty of Pedicled preputial double-faced island flap(PPDIF). Methods Records of 99 children (mean age, 5.1 years; age range, 4 months-12 years)with hypospadias who underwent PPDIF oper-ation were reviewed. Of them, 56 cases were penile type of hypospadias, 24 cases of penile root type, 13 cases of scrotal type and 6 cases of perineal type according to Barcat classification. Based on Duck-ett technique, the partial preputial cortical plate remained and was displaced to gastr-penis with ure-thra. , and finally the new urethra would be covered by the cortical plate. Results During follow-up of average 2 years, 8 patients(8. 1%) developed urethral fistula, 1 (1.0 %) developed mild meatal ste-nosis, and 1(1.0 %) developed flap necrosis. The success rate for total PPDIF procedure was 89.90 % (89/99). And the success rate of simple PPDIF for cases with penile and penile root hypospadias, and PPDIF+Duplay for cases with serotal and perineal hypospadias were respectively 91.25 % (73/80) and 84.21%(16/19). respectively. Conclusions PPDIF is good for treating most hypospadias. Furth-more it make penis better shape. In the severe cases, PPDIF+Duplay prededure is recommended and the effect was affirmative.

Objective:To study the preventive and therapeutic effects of silk fibroin peptides (SFP) on acute alcoholism in mice. Methods:In first experiment, the mice were randomly divided into four groups, and every group was treated by 56o alcohol (ethanol dosage 7.56 ml/kg bw) via i.g. Eighty mice were fed normal saline (NS) and different dosages of SFP (0.1, 0.5, 2.5 g/kg bw) 30 min later respectively, then the rate of ebriety and time of sobriety were determined. Another 72 mice were also divided into four groups and given NS and SFP similarly. The concentration of ethanol in serum was measured 1 h, 2 h and 4 h later respectively. In second experiment, the mice were also divided into four similar groups, but 56o alcohol was given at 6.16 ml/kg?bw via i.g. NS and SFP were given similarly, 0.5 h before alcohol. Two experiments were performed to observe the effect of SFP on prevention of temulence. Results:The time of sobriety and concentration of ethanol of SFP groups fed 0.5 and 2.5g/kg bw were lower significantly than those of NS group (P

Objective:The effect of the linseeds,VE and ethoxyquinoline in feed on the productive performance of the Hailanhong layers and ?-3 PUFA deposition in the yolk of laying eggs was studied. Method:Four hundred and eighty healthy layers of 48 weeks of age were randomly selected. The linseeds,VE and ethoxyquinoline of different levels in diet were fed on these layers. The indices of the productive performance and the fatty acids content of yolk were determined. The regression model of the fatty acids deposition was established. Results:The effect of the linseeds,VE and ethoxyquinoline in feed on the productive performance was slight. The most deposition of ?-3 PUFA was found by adding linseeds 15%,VE 0.17g/kg feed without ethoxyquinoline. Conclusion:The deposition of ?-3 PUFA in eggs could be regulated by controlling the proportion of linseeds and VE in feed with no effect on productive performance of layers.

Central nervous system (CNS) is one of places in which direct infiltration and involvement or relapse occur in adult lymphocytic leukemia. The main mechanism of CNS infiltration in leukemia is associated with blood brain barrier (BBB), however the ALL CNS infiltration is difficulty early predicted and evaluated.For this reason, the studies on accurately evaluating the ALL CNS infiltration have important significance for early diagnosis and adjustment of therapeutic regimen, performance of individualised treatment and improvement of ALL patient's prognosis. In this article, the pathway of ALL CNS infiltration and its molecular mechanism, the evaluation methods for BBB function are reviewed.

Objective:To discuss the characteristics of auditory brainstem response in preterm very low birth weight (VLBW) babies and to investigate the correlations between the ABR and clinical characteristics. Method: Fifty-nine VLBW babies (118 ears) were enrolled in the study and 30 term normal babies as the control group. Tympanometry, acoustic reflex, DPOAE, ABR were obtained in all the babies. Result:The prevalence of hearing loss in VLBW babies was higher than normal term babies and babies with perinatal complications higher than those without perinatal complications. There was no correlations between ABR threshold and gestational age, birth weight, postconceptional age, negative correlations between wave Ⅰ,Ⅲ and Ⅴ latencies Ⅰ-Ⅲ ,Ⅲ-Ⅴ and Ⅰ-Ⅴ intervals and postconceptional age. Wave Ⅰ and Ⅴ latencies, Ⅰ-Ⅲ and Ⅲ-Ⅴ intervals differed significantly between the two groups. Conclusion:The perinatal complications were the most important causes of the hearing loss in preterm VLBW babies than the gestational age and birth weight. There was a high prevalence of peripheral hearing loss in the preterm VLBW babies. Combining OAE and automated ABR should be applied for hearing screening. Regular follow-up was very important in all the preterm VLBW neonatal.
