Objective To explore the biological effects of the luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the ovary of mice during peri-implantation. Methods The immunohistochemistry SABC method and image analysis were used to study the distribution and changes of the LHR and VEGF in Kunming mouse( n =28) ovary during estrous,pregnancy of day 1, day 4 and day 6 stage. Results The expression of LHR-immunoreactive substance and that of VEGF-immunoreactive substance had the same distribution and changes. Compared with other groups,the level of LHR-immunoreactive substance and that of VEGF-immunoreactive substance increased highly on the stroma cells around largergrowing follicles in estrous group ( P <0.05). Along with the pregnancy, the positive immunostaining for LHR and VEGF increased gradually on the granulosa lutein cells, and reached the highest level on day 6 of pregnancy. Positive immunostaining for LHR or VEGF on some endothelia and blood cells were observed in day 1 of pregnancy or estrous group respectively. Form day 1 of pregnancy, the theca cells had positive immunostaining for LHR. Conclusion The expression of LHR and VEGF is closely related with the process of follicle growing, ovulation and corpus luteum formation.

The present study intended to provide some informations about the relationship between the supraependymal structures (SES) and the periventrieular neural tissue (PVNT), and with gross dissection and scanning electron microscopy the anterior medullary velum (AMV) was observed on 20 adult rabbits. The AMV may be divided into three portions: 1. the posterior membraneous wall of the recess of the inferior colliculus; 2. the anterior roof of the fourth ventricle; and 3. the transiional portion between the two portions mentioned above. On the ependymal surface of the entire AMV. There were numerous microvilli and cilia, except for the second portion of AMV, there were also some spherical-like structures, which were 2-6?m in diameter and had lace-like processes on its surface, and supraependymal cells(SEC) which were stellate, triangular, and spindle in shape. On the cellular surface with very few SEC, the secretory granules may be seen, which were 0.1-0.3?m in diameter. The SEC often extended out 2-5 processes, and the distal parts of which expanded into a flattened shovel-like structure, which lay on or inserted into the ependymal surface. The SEC here are similar to type Ⅱ SEC seen in the third and fourth ventricles, but they may differ significantly in structures on cellular surface, e.g. the secretory granules, and in shapes of their processes. Thus, it may suggest that the SEC here may play an intermediary role between PVNT and CSF, and be another route of neurohumoral modulation.

Objective To compare the efficacy and side-effects of preoperative neoadjuvant uterine arterial chemoembolization and venous chemotherapy in treating cervical cancer in young female patients. Methods A total of 241 young females(≤35 years old) with cervical cancer were enrolled in this study. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into group A (n=63) and group B (n=57). Patients in group A received preoperative neoadjuvant uterine arterial chemoembolization with subsequent surgery, while patients in group B were treated with preoperative neoadjuvant intravenous chemotherapy followed by surgery. The chemotherapy scheme included carboplatin (50 mg/m2) and gemcitabine (1 000 mg/m2). The short-term effect, the amount of blood loss during the surgery, pathological findings and the side-effects of the two groups were compared. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate, and the log-rank test was used for survival difference analysis. Results The short-term response rate of group A was 90.5%, which was significantly higher than that of group B (71.9%), the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=7.5, P<0.05). The resection rate of group A was 95.2%, which was higher than that of group B (84.2%). The amount of intra-operative blood loss of group A and group B was (443±263) ml and (695±312) ml respectively, the difference was statistically significant (t=4.802, P<0.05). The pathological complete remission of group A and group B was 9.5%(6/63) and 5.3%(3/57)respectively; the differences in postoperative pathological results between the two groups were statistically significant (χ2=12.3, P<0.05). The side effect of group A was milder than that of group B (P<0.05). The 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate of group A and group B was 73.0% and 54.4% respectively (χ2=4.471, P<0.05);and the overall survival (OS) rate of group A and group B was 77.8%and 63.2%respectively (χ2=3.022, P>0.05). In both groups, the clinical stage, the pathological grade and the size (≥ 4 cm) of the tumor were the main factors that could influence the prognosis in young females with cervical cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion The short-term efficacy of preoperative uterine artery chemoembolization is better than that of preoperative intravenous chemotherapy for the treatment of cervical cancer in young female patients. Besides, this therapy carries mild side effect, and it can improve the 5-year progression-free survival rate, although the long-term survival rate has not been obviously improved.
