Objective To studythe effects of prolacfin(PRL)on uterineleiomyoma and the relationship between prolactin and prolaetin receptor(PRL-R).Methods Thirty patients with uterine leiomyoma as observed group and thirty with hydrosalpinx or pyosalpingitis a8 control group were studied.Serum prolaetin(PrL),estradiol(E2)and progesterone(P)level were determinted by radioimmunoassay before,during and three months after hysterectomy in observed group and before salpingectomy in control group.Results Serum prolactin levd in observed group was signifieantly higher than that in control group(P<0.05).The serunl prdactin level of uterine veins in obserced group was significantly higher than that ofperipheral vein' during hysterectomy(P<0.05).The prolactin level during hysterectomy in observed group is significantly higher than that before hysterectomy(P<0.05).Three months after hysterectomy the serum prolactin and estradiol level of peripheral vein in observed group was significantly decreased(P<0.05).Conclusion Prolaetin is an autoerine or paraerine growth factor for human myometrial and leiomyoma cells.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of transvaginal acupoint injection in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain induced by pelvic floor myofascitis. Methods All 80 patients with pelvic floor myofascitis were randomly assigned to an observation group and a control group, with 40 patients in each group. The observation group was given the treatment of transvaginal pain spot injection, and the control group was given transvaginal non-pain spot injection. Changes of clinical symptoms, signs, pain scores and other indices before the treatment, 1 week and 2 weeks after the treatment between the two groups of patients were observed and compared. Results Comparison of pain scores between the treatment group and the control group before the treatment was not significantly different (P>0.05); pain scores after the treatment in the two groups were significantly lower compared to those before the treatment, and the differences in the two groups were both significant (P<0.01). The curative effects in the treatment group were better than those in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Transvaginal acupoint injection is able to significantly alleviate chronic pelvic pain induced by pelvic floor myofascitis, but accurate pain spot injection is required.

Objective To investigated the clinical distributions and antimicrobial susceptibility of Streptococcus agalactia strains isolated from the patients .Methods The identification and susceptibility of the strains were mainly measured by automatic VITEK‐Ⅱ system ,the K‐B disc diffusion tests were used for the resistance test of erythromycin ,meropenem ,and D‐test .Results The iso‐lates were mainly from urine (63 .1% ) ,genital tract(7 .8% ) and wound secretion(6 .7% ) .They were obtained from patients in dif‐ferent situations ,including 110 patients who were older than 50 years old (61 .5% ) ,113 female patients (63 .1% ) ,12 gravidas (6 .7% ) ,3 vertical transmitted newborns(1 .7% ) ,and 82 patients with cancer ,undergoing chemo radiotherapy ,with diabetes ,tuber‐culosis or after operations(45 .8% ) .The resistant rates of the isolated Streptococcus agalactia to erythromycin and clindamycin were 42 .9% -93 .3% and 41 .9% -80 .0% respectively .The positive rate of D‐test was 4 .1% .The strains were highly resistant to tet‐racycline(>80% ) ,while the resistance to penicillin was below 10% except in 2008 .All isolates were susceptible to vancomycin and meropenem .Only one strain was resistant to Quinupristin‐dalfopristin .Conclusion Streptococcus agalactia infection in adults most‐ly cause genitourinary tract ,skin and soft tissue infections .There were more females than males with Streptococcus agalactia infec‐tion .Penicillin andβ‐lactams are still the first choice for the treatment .Erythromycin ,clindamycin and tetracycline should be used with caution under the guidance of laboratory susceptibility test results .

Objective To provide scientific evidence to identify and confirm severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) by laboratory detection.Methods Multiple clinical specimens were collected serially and systematically from the 4 suspected SARS patients, which occurred between Dec.2003 to Jan.2004 in Guangdong Province. The samples were tested by serologic and molecular methods.Results IgM or IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV were detectable after 6—8 days of the onset in four patients. The four-fold or greater rising in antibodies was clearly detected in three of the four patients, while the fourth patient’s seroconversion was from negative to positive. The results analysed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay( ELISA), immunoflourescence assay (IFA), and neutralization test were highly correlated. SARS-CoV RNA was just detected in 3 throat swab specimens from case 1 by real-time PCR. M, N and S genes were amplified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from the positive samples. Sequencing results showed that they were SARS-CoV gene segments, and most closely matched SARS-CoV gene sequences were isolated from civet cats in Guangdong Province. Nevertheless, SARS-CoV was not isolated from any samples of the 4 patients.Conclusion Based on these results, the 4 reported cases were laboratorily confirmed as SARS cases.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC)infection can induce watery diarrhea,leading to dehydration,electrolyte disturbance,and even death in severe cases. Recombinant B subunit/inactivated whole-cell cholera(rBS/WC)vaccine is effective in preventing ETEC infectious diarrhea. On the basis of the latest evidence on etiology and epidemiology of ETEC,as well as the effectiveness,safety,and health economics of rBS/WC vaccine,National Clinical Research Center for Child Health(The Children’s Hospital,Zhejiang University School of Medicine)and Zhejiang Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention invited experts to develop expert consensus on rBS/WC vaccine in prevention of ETEC infectious diarrhea. It aims to provide the clinicians and vaccination professionals with guidelines on using rBS/WC vaccine to reduce the incidence of ETEC infectious diarrhea.
