Objective:To investigate the differences between patients with small cell carcinoma of the cervix and other type of cervical cancer on clinicopathological characteristics,treatment,prognosis through the retrospective analysis,also study the prognostic factors in patients with SCCC.Methods:The patients with SCCC(63 cases,research group) and patients with Non-SCCC(60 cases,control group) such as squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of cervix were chosen during May 2003 and June 2015 in department of obstetrics and gynecology,west China second university hospital.The clinical pathological and survival data were collected,sort out,checked and analyzed.Chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability method was used to compare the differences of clinical features between the two groups.The 5-year disease-free survival(DFS) rate and 5-year overall survival(OS) rate were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method.Univariate and multivariate analysis were applied to research the prognostic factors.Results:①The median age of the patients in research group was 40 years old,younger than control group whose median age was 44 years old (P =0.001).The rate of lymph node metastasis,parametrial infiltration,vascular involvement and positive surgical margins in research group were significantly higher than those of control group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significantly differences between two groups in clinical symptoms,FIGO stage,therapeutic schedule.②In the survival analysis,the research group estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (29.2％) and estimated 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS)(26.6％) was significantly lower than those of the control group(82.6％,and 76.7％,respectively) P ＜ 0.05.③In the COX multivariate regression analysis,the results showed that the lymph node metastasis was the independent factor influencing overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate(HR =4.784、3.067,P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the tumor size was the independent factor influencing overall survival rate (HR =3.610,P ＜ 0.05),and advanced FIGO staging was the independent factor influencing disease-free survival rate (HR =2.793,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions:The patients with SCCC were younger than other cervical cancer,and the clinical symptoms,cervical appearance,treatment between the two types are almost the same.However,The rate of lymph node metastasis,parametrial infiltration,vascular involvement and positive surgical margins in patients with SCCC were significantly higher than other cervical cancer,and the prognosis of the patients with SCCC was very poor.The main prognostic factors were lymph node metastasis,advanced FIGO stage and tumor size.

Objective To study the values of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) changing with time and space in cerebral infarction,and to provide the evidence in defining the infarction stages.Methods 117 work-ups in 98 patients with cerebral infarction (12 hyperacute,43 acute,29 subacute,10 steady,and 23 chronic infarctions) were imaged with both conventional MRI and diffusion weighted imaging.The average ADC values,the relative ADC (rADC) values,and the ADC values or rADC values from the center to the periphery of the lesion were calculated.Results The average ADC values and the rADC values of hyperacute and acute infarction lesion depressed obviously.rADC values in hyperacute and acute stage was minimized,and progressively increased as time passed and appeared as "pseudonormal" values in approximately 8 to 14 days.Thereafter,rADC values became greater than normal in chronic stage.There was positive correlation between rADC values and time[ (174 ±3.47)% vs (58±6.75)%,t =2.03,P ＜0.05 ].The ADC values and the rADC values in hyperacute and acute lesions had gradient signs that these lesions increased from the center to the periphery.The ADC values and the rADC values in subacute lesions had adverse gradient signs that these lesions decreased from the center to the periphery.Conclusion The ADC values of infarction lesions have evolution rules with time and space.The evolution rules with time and those in space can be helpful to provide the evidence in guiding the treatment or judging the prognosis in infarction.

Student preparation for laboratory sessions is the first step of conducting laboratory experiments. It makes students maximize use of laboratory time and efficiently perform laboratory exercises in open labs. In view of teaching features and requirements of Microbiology experiment, we designed and developed ‘Online Student Preparation and Management System of Microbiology Experiment’, which integrated func- tions of student preparation for laboratory sessions and teacher management. In the system each experiment consists of six successive parts, viz., learning objectives, principle, materials and equipments, procedure video, manipulation simulation and online quiz. Teaching practices showed that the application of the system enhanced the preparing quality and makes the management of the experiment teaching more normalized and efficient. It was an effective measure in improving experimental teaching of Microbiology.

The effect of pioglitazone on mRNA expression of advanced glycosylation end products(AGE) receptor(RAGE)was observed in renal cortex of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.The RAGE mRNA expression was significantly raised in diabetic control group as compared with that in the normal control group(P

Objective To investigate the influence of thymosin beta 4 (Tβ4) with two different dosages on the expression of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in rats with renal tubular interstitial fibrosis,and to further estimate the changes of renal tubular interstitial lesions.Methods Rat models of renal tubular interstitial fibrosis were established by unilateral ureteral occlusion (UUO).The male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and 15 rats in each group:sham group,model group,treatment group with 1 mg/L Tβ4 and treatment group with 5 mg/L T34.Rats in sham group and model group were poured into the same amount of saline.The renal function and renal pathological changes were observed after the second week.The mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β and CTGF in renal tissues was tested by in-situ hybridization and Western blotting.Results Compared with that in sham group,the expression of TGF-β mRNA and its protein,CTGF mRNA and its protein was significantly higher in model group (all P ＜ 0.01).Compared with rats of model group,Tβ4 treatment rats had lower mRNA and protein expression of TGF-β and CTGF (all P ＜ 0.01),and the expression in treatment group with 5 mg/L Tβ4 was lower than that in treatment group with 1 mg/L Tβ4 (P ＜ 0.05).And the expression of TGF-β mRNA was positively correlated with CTGF mRNA expression (r=0.697,P ＜ 0.01).The 24 h total urinary protein and the area of renal tubular interstitial lesion in model group were significantly more than those in sham group,and also more than those in Tβ4 treatment group (all P ＜ 0.05).Tβ4 treatment attenuated kidney damage,and the effects in treatment group with 5 mg/L Tβ4 were better than those in treatment group with 1 mg/L Tβ4.No difference in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen was observed among 4 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Tβ4 treatment can inhibit the renal TGF-β and CTGF expression of rats with tubular interstitial fibrosis in a dose-dependent manner,and play a protective role in kidney.

Objective To analyzed the CT features of struma ovarii(SO).Methods The clinical data and CT features of eleven patients with pathologically proved SO were retrospectively analyzed.CT features were compared with pathological results.Results(1)All tumors were unilateral.On non-enhanced CT,the lesions presented as well-defined irregular masses,which were cystic-solid(n=6,54.5%)or cystic(n=5,45,5%).(2)The cystic portions presented as well-defined,multiple,various size,and there were entire cystic walls with smooth inner wall.The tumors(63.6%)showed a high at attenuation lesions in the cyst portion of the mass on precontrast scans and the attenuation ranged from 72.3 to 113.5 Hounsfield units(HU)in 7 cases.The solid portions showed irregular tissue density,and were often distributed in the cysts.After contrast administration,the cystic portions showed no enhancement,the solid portions marked enhancement,and the cystic walls demonstrated no moderate,or marked enhancement.(3)The tumors(72.7%)showed stippled calcification in solid portions and(or)cystic wall in 8 cases.(4)The tumors(27.3%)accompanied with mature cystic teratomas,and showed fat density in 3 cases.(5)The tumors(27.3%)accompanied a great of ascites and pleural liquid.Conclusion CT characteristics of SO might be of great value for the diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of preemptive parecoxib on blood coagulation in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy. Methods This was a randomized, double-blind controlled study. Seventy ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 38-56 yr weighing 50-75 kg undergoing abdominal hysterectomy under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia were randomized to one of 2 groups (n=35 each): parecoxib group (group P) received intravenous parecoxib 40 mg/2 ml at 20 min before anesthesia and control group (group C) received normal saline 2 ml instead of parecoxib. Both groups received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with butorphanol after surgery. The PCIA solution contained butorphanol 0.2 mg/kg and ondansetron 4 mg in normal saline 100 ml.The PCIA was set up with background infusion 2 ml/h, incremental dose 2 ml, and lockout interval 15 min. VAS score was used to assess the intensity of pain (O= no pain, 10 = worst pain). Venous blood samples were taken before and at 30 min and 2 h after parecoxib or normal saline administration for coagulation test and platelet count.The postoperative ambulation time and adverse response were recorded. Butorphanol consumption per hour during postoperative analgesia and total consumption of butorphanol within 24 h after operation were also recorded. Results Compared with those before parecoxib administration, prothrombin time and thrombin time in group C and thrombin time in group P were significantly prolonged and fibrinogen concentration was significantly lower in group C at 30 min after parecoxib administration (P＜ 0.05), but no significant difference was found in the other parameters of blood coagulation and platelet count at 30 min after parecoxib administration in group P ( P＞0.05).The fibrinogen concentration was significantly higher, the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was significantly lower, the postoperative ambulation time was significantly shorter, and butorphanol consumption per hour during postoperative analgesia and total consumption of butorphanol within 24 h after operation were significantly lower in group P than in group C ( P＜0.05 ), but there was no significant difference in the other parameters of blood coagulation and platelet count between group P and group C ( P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion Preemptive parecoxib 40 mg can enhance blood coagulation in patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the anesthetic effect of dexmedetomidine in pelvic floor reconstructive surgery of elderly patients with pelvic organ prolapse(POP). METHODS:60 elderly patients with pelvic floor reconstructive surgery were randomly di-vided into observation group and control group. Observation group was treated with 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine by pumping and control group was treated with 0.125 ml/kg 0.9% sodium chloride injection by pumping 15 min before anesthesia,and conventional intravenous induction was conducted after 15 min. MAP,HR and bispectral index(BIS)in entering the room(T0),5 min after ad-ministration(T1),immediate intubation(T2),1 min after intubation(T3),5 min after intubation(T4),surgical skin incision(T5), immediate extubation(T6)and 5 min after extubation(T7),restlessness score,sedation score,recovery time and incidence of ad-verse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:MAP and HR in observation group in T1-7 were significantly lower than T0 and control group,MAP and HR in control group in T2-7 were significantly high than T0 except that T1 was significantly lower than T0,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);BIS in 2 groups T1-7 was significantly lower than T0,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05),however,there was no significant difference between 2 groups(P>0.05). Restlessness score in observation group was significantly lower than control group,sedation score was significantly higher than control group,the differ-ence was statistically significant(P<0.05),there was no significant difference in the recovery time between 2 groups(P>0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in 2 groups during treatment.
