Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopy in comprehensive early ovarian cancer staging by comparing the feasibility and safety of laparoscopy and laparotomy in surgical staging of early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Methods A total of 102 patients with EOC who underwent comprehensive laparoscopic (LPS group, n=71) or laparotomic (LPT group, n=31) staging at Southwest Hospital from November 2007 to November 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The perioperative parameters, postoperative complication rate and the long-term curative effect were compared between the two groups. Results (1)LPS group had less intra-operative blood loss [(288±239) vs (631±463) ml], lower rate of blood transfusion(14%vs 58%), larger number of pelvic dissected lymph nodes (18.1±5.6 vs 15.5± 4.6), lower vasual analogue scalescore(VAS) pain score (2.1 ± 1.6 vs 3.0 ± 1.1), shorter gastrointestinal recovery time [(2.6 ± 0.8) vs (3.5 ± 0.9) days] and shorter hospital stay [(9.9 ± 2.9) vs (11.3 ± 5.0) days] when compared with LPT group (all P<0.01). No significant difference were found in operation time, number of para-aortic lymph nodes, rate of postoperative upstaging and adjuvant chemotherapy between the two groups (all P>0.05). (2) No significant difference was found in postoperative rate of complications [11%(8/71) vs 19%(6/31),χ2=1.192, P=0.275]. (3) No significant difference was found in recurrence rate [17%(11/66) vs 14%(4/29), χ2=0.125, P=0.724] and 5-year overall survival (86.7% vs 86.8%, P=0.874). Conclusion Compared with LPT group, there are no significance differences in recurrence rate and mortality between two groups, laparoscopic staging, which could be recommended as a choice of surgical treatment of early ovarian cancer, shows more favorable operative outcomes including minimally invasive, less intra-operative blood loss, less postoperative pain and quicker recovery.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of bladder extracellular matrix (BACM) seeding with autologous cultured vaginal smooth muscle cells (VSMC) repaired rabbit vaginal defect.Methods This study included 24 female rabbits.BACM and vaginal acellular matrix (VACM) were obtained from 8 rabbits by decellularization process.The other 16 rabbits were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.Vaginal tissue biopsies ( ~ 1 cm2) were harvested from female New Zealand rabbits.VSMC were cultured and stained with a-smooth muscle actin antibodies. Cultured VSMC cells were seeded on BACM ( experimental group) or VACM ( control group) at a cell density of 1 × 107 cells/cm2.The cell-seeded matrixes were cultured for 5days.In experimental group of 8 rabbits,a 2 cm segment of vagina was resected and replaced with BACM seeding with VSMC.Then the regenerative segment was studied with histological technique by hematoxylin-eosin staining after 3,6 and 12 weeks postoperative aud vaginography was performed at 12 weeks postoperative.The 8 rabbits in control group underwent the exact same procedure as above but the vaginal defect was repaired with VACM seeding with VSMC,Results The prepared BACM and VACM were transparent,HE staining and scanning electron microscopy showed the two acellular matrix was both consisted of abundant network of fibers with the regular arrangement,without cellular debris.Primary culture of VSMC was successfully established and passaged,and was uniformly spindle-shaped in the confluent state and showed a characteristic hill and valley'formation.Immunohistochemical staining showed VSMC in culture stained positively with a-smooth muscle actin antibodies.VSMC began to adhere to the BACM 5 hour after implanting and the number of the adhered cells increased with time.Cells gradually expanded and showed the typical morphology of smooth muscle cells.Three weeks after implantation in vivo,the luminal surface of matrix was completely covered by vaginal epithelial tissue,a layer of smooth muscle cells was formed in the outer surface of the matrix.Multilayered vaginal epithelial and improved development of organized muscle bundles was observed after 6 weeks.The regenerative tissue was equivalent to the normal vaginal tissue at 12 weeks postoperatively.Vaginography demonstrated the maintenance of full patency and a wide vaginal caliber without fibrosis and graft rejection.There was no significant difference in all evaluated items between experimental and control groups.Conclusions BACM has the same regenerative process as VACM in the replacement of vaginal defect.Moreover,BACM has wider source and appears to be an suitable material for vaginal replacement.

AIM: To evaluate the influences of triptolide on serum cytokines, symptoms and pulmonary function in patients with steroid - resistant asthma, so as to investigate if there is therapeutic effect of triptolide on these patients. METHODS: Sixteen patients with steroid - resistant asthma were randomly divided into two groups (A and B, n =8 for each group). All of the patients took procaterol (50 - 100 μg/d) and theophylline (400 mg/d) orally as baseline treatment. Additionally, triptolide was prescribed for group A (33 μg, orally, three times per day for 4 weeks). Asthmatic symptom score calculation, serum cytokines ( interferon - γ, IFN - γ; interleukin - 4, IL - 4; and interleukin - 5, IL - 5)determination and pulmonary function test (FVC%, FEV1%, PEF%, V50% and V25% ) were undertaken before and at the end of the study. RESULTS: At baseline, no significant difference was found between group A and group B with respect to the above mentioned indices. Following the administration of triptolide, group A had significantly increased serum IFN -γlevel, FVC%, FEV1%, PEF%, V50% and V25%, and significantly decreased asthmatic symptom score and serum IL-4, IL-5 levels (P<0.01 compared with baseline in the same group, and P<0.05 compared with group B at the end of the study). Compared with baseline, no significant change was observed for group B regarding all the indices at the end of the study. CONCLUSION: Triptolide in combination with procaterol and theophylline may be a novel and effective strategy for the treatment of steroid - resistant asthma.
