Objective:To explore the concentration of monoamine neurotransmitter in serum and psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and depression in infertility patients with and without PCOS(No-PCOS),and the relationship between them.Methods:30 infertility with PCOS were selected as experimental group(EG) and 30 infertility patients without PCOS as control group(CG).They were administered Symptom Checklist(SCL-90).Their monoamine neurotransmitter in serum were determined including norepinephrine(NE),3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol(MHPG),5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5-HIAA),dopamine(DA),homovanillic acid(HVA) and dihydroxy-phenyl acetic acid(DOPAC).Results:The findings indicated that the scores in anxiety and depression subscales of SCL-90 were significantly higher in the PCOS group than those in the No-PCOS(P

Objective To measure 95% effective doses (ED95) of propofol and etomidate by using up-down intravenous administration method, and compare the potency ratio and the anesthesia duration of them. Methods Twenty eight male SD rats were divided into two groups randomly: the propofol group and the etomidate group. Loss of righting reflex was regarded as the judgment index of unconsciousness. The dose-response curve was made according to the formula of Y=Ymin+(Ymax-Ymin)/ [1+10log(ED50-X)× m]. Values of ED95 of propofol and etomidate were calculated, and the anesthesia duration periods after administration of the two equivalent dose drugs were measured respectively. Results The values of ED95 were 9 mg/kg and 1.5 mg/kg for propofol and etomidate. The ED95 ratio for propofol and etomidate was 6. There was a significant difference in anesthesia duration between propofol group (465.6±18.5)s and etomidate group (233.7±9.3)s (P<0.05). Conclusion The anesthesia duration of propofol is longer than that of etomidate, taking the ED95 as equivalent dose.

Objective To evaluate the effect of anterior minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) for treatment of middle humeral shaft fracture.Methods From November 2011 to March 2014,10 cases of middle humeral shaft fracture were treated using MIPO via the anterior approach (MIPO group).Another 26 cases treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the middle humeral shaft fracture between October 2010 and March 2014 were included as controls (ORIF group).Fracture fixation using the 4.5 mm locking compression plate (LCP) was performed in both groups.Parameter measurements included operative time,intraoperative fluoroscopy times,grafting rate,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage,hospital stay,bone healing time and complications.Results MIPO and ORIF groups differed significantly with respect to intraoperative blood loss [(93.5 ± 25.6) ml vs (325.3 ± 158.3) ml],intraoperative fluoroscopy times [(13.2 ± 6.1) vs 4.0 (0-6.0)] and hospitalization [(11.9 ± 1.7)days vs (18.0 ±4.7)days] (P ＜0.05).Bone grafting and drainage were not performed in MIPO group,while bone grafting rate was 54％ and postoperative drainage volume was (120.4 ± 69.6) ml in ORIF group (P ＜0.05).MIPO and ORIF groups were comparable with respect to operative time [(79.0 ± 22.0) min vs (97.5 ± 30.8) min],bone healing time [(15.2 ± 2.5) weeks vs (18.2 ± 4.8)weeks] and postoperative complications (10％ vs23％) (P＞0.05).Conclusion Anterior MIPO is an effective procedure for treatment of middle humeral shaft fracture,with advantages of small trauma,less bleeding,low risk of nerve injury and high rate of fracture healing.

Objective To compare the applicability of the 7th and 6th editions of the UICC-AJCC esophageal cancer TNM staging systems for adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (EGJ).Methods During June 2007 through December 2010,199 patients with EGJ adenocarcinoma(Siewert type Ⅱ) underwent R0-intent resection in our hospital.Their clinicopatholigical and survival data were retrospectively analyzed with Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression models.They were restaged according to the 7th and 6th UICC/AJCC TNM staging systems for esophageal cancer,respectively.Then the Akaike information criterion(AIC) was used for measuring goodness of fit of both staging systems.Results Among 199 patients,there were 162 males and 37 females.Univariate analysis indicated that age(P =0.009),surgical approach(P =0.002),cell differentiation (P =0.030),preoperative co-morbidity (P =0.026),depth of tumor invasion (P ＜ 0.000) and number of metastatic lymph nodes(P ＜ 0.000) were significant influencing factors on overall survival.Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the independent prognostic factors for EGJ adenocarcinoma were age,T stage,N stage and preoperative co-morbidity according to the 6th edition of esophageal cancer TNM staging system,and only T stage,N stage and preoperative co-morbidity according to the 7th edition of esophageal cancer TNM staging system.The AIC value was 961.4 for the 7th edition of esophageal cancer staging system and 972.4 for the 6th edition.Conclusion The 7th edition of UICC/AJCC esophageal cancer TNM classification is su perior to its 6th edition of esophageal cancer staging system for EGJ adenocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the expression of Rap1 GTPase-activating protein 1 (Rap1GAP),matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9),and their relation with clinical patterns in colorectal carcinoma.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Rap1GAP,MMP-2 and MMP-9 in colorectal carcinoma,villous adenoma,tubular adenoma and normal colorectal tissue,and their relationship with clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.Results The positive rate of Rap1GAP expression was 30.4 ％ (14/46),77.8 ％ (14/18),69.6 ％ (16/23) and 95.2 ％ (20/21) in colorectal carcinoma,villous adenoma,tubular adenoma,and normal colorectal tissue,respectively (x2 =30.659,P=0.000).The figures were 71.7 ％ (33/46),55.6 ％ (10/18),52.2 ％ (12/16) and 9.5 ％ (2/21) for the positive rate of MMP-2 expression (x2 =22.459,P =0.000),as well as for 76.1％ (35/46),61.1％ (11/18),56.5 ％ (13/23) and 14.3 ％ (3/21) for the positive rate of MMP-9 expression,respectively (x2 =22.643,P =0.000).In patients with colorectal carcinoma,the expression of Rap1GAP was correlated with tumor differentiation (x2 =5.275,P =0.022),but not sex,age,or lymphatic metastasis (all P ＞ 0.05).The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were correlated with lymphatic metastasis (x2 =6.661,P =0.010;x2 =8.475,P =0.040),but not sex,age or tumor differentiation(all P ＞ 0.05).There was a negative correlation between expression of Rap1GAP and MMP-2,MMP-9 in colorectal carcinoma,respectively (r =-0.424,P =0.003;r =-0.294,P =0.048),but no correlation between the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 (r =0.101,P =0.505).Conclusions Rap1GAP,MMP-2 and MMP-9 play important roles in the malignant biological behavior of colorectal carcinoma,and the expression of Rap1GAP is negatively correlated with MMP-2 and MMP-9.The interactions among the three affect the occurrence and development of colorectal carcinoma.

Methods By analyzing the symptom recurrent cases among 76cases of choledochocele who were treated in our hospital during the period from March 1966 to September 1997, we discuss the possible reasons responsible for the symptom recurrence after operation for choledochocele and its prevention and treatment. Result The possibility of symptom recurrence has no relationship with the age, sex and the type of the cyst. But it is closely related to the opportunity and method of operation (p

Objective To evaluate the role of via-anal ileus tube drainage in the therapy of acute low colorectal obstruction caused by cancer in elderly patients.Methods Totally 31 elderly patients with acute obstruction caused by colorectal cancer were treated by this modality.With the help of colonscopy and radiograph,the ileus tube was inserted into the proximal bowel of the obstructive side via anus.Then we irrigated and drain through the tube.At the same time we observed the patients' symptoms,abdominal girth,plain abdominal radiograph.After the relief of the acute obstruction,operations were processed.Results After 7-14 days treatment,the acute obstruction was relieved and emergency operation was avoided.The cure rate of 1-staged resection was 93.5％ (29/31),the rate of 1-staged anastomosis was 68.9％ (20/29),the rate of complication was 19.4％ (6/31),no anastomotic leakage and no perioperative death occurred.Conclusions The via-anal tube drainage in the treatment of the elderly patients with acute obstruction is safe,effective,and the trauma is small.It would be the first choice to relieve the acute obstruction in future.

Objective To establish the quality standard of Compound Kangganling Granules. Methods TLC method was used for qualitative identification of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and Forsythiae Fructus, and HPLC method was used for determination of chlorogenic acid in the preparation. The HPLC separation was performed on Diamonsil C18 column. The mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile-0.4%phosphoric acid (20∶80, V/V), and the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. Results TLC identified chlorogenic acid in Lonicerae Japonicae Flos and phillyrin in Forsythiae Fructus. The linear relationship of chlorogenic acid in the preparation measured by HPLC was A=30461C-5938.8, r=0.9998, RSD=1.01%, showing that the linear range of chlorogenic acid was 10.2-102.0μg/mL. Conclusion The method is accurate and rapid, with good stability, reliability and reproducibility, and can be used for the quality control and evaluation of the preparation.

Objective To evaluate potential clinical risk factors for the development of early-onset myocardial damage following multiple trauma (MT), and to determine whether early-onset myocardial damage was caused by the combined effects of thoracic and systemic injury factors in MT patients.Methods A total of 231 patients with MT over the last 3 years were retrospectively reviewed. With myocardial damage being a dependent variable and other twenty factors being independent variables, univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were applied to investigate the risk factors for early-onset myocardial damage and to identify the association of thoracic and systemic risk factors with early-onset myocardial damage.Results Multivariable logistic regressions showed that acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) score ≥10, injury severity score (ISS) ≥ 25, shock index ≥ 2,coexisting chest trauma, abbreviated injury scale (AIS) of chest≥3, and hypoxia time ≥ 0.5 h were risk factors. The risk of earlyonset myocardial damage following MT obviously increased when thoracic and systemic injury risk factors were coexisting.Conclusion Our results indicated that thoracic injury combined with systemic injury increased the overall risk of early-onset myocardial damage following MT. Prospective validation of these findings in other clinical settings is warranted.
