Endometriosis, an oestrogen-dependent disorder, is related to inflammation, p38 Mitogen activated protein kinases (p38 MAPK) can be activated by sex hormone and inflammatory factors, which plays an important role in many cellular reactions such as apoptosis, proliferation, inflammation and stresses, etc. Many studies showed that p38 MAPK was participated directly in regulating the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The special regulatory action of p38 MAPK on sex hormone and inflammation may help us to understand the intricate endometriosis pathological hypothesis. p38 MAPK inhibitors play a key role in the the study of endometriosis, and show great promise for the future. Blocking and regulating the expression of p38 MAPK on the signal transduction pathway level may hope to be a new strategy to prevent and treat endometriosis.

Objective To discuss the timing and methods of operative treatment of acetabular fractures of AO Type C (double- column fractures). Methods From February, 1999 to January, 2004, we treated operatively 46 cases of AO Type C acetabular fractures, including 23 cases of C- 1 type, 14 cases of C- 2 type, and 9 cases of C- 3 type. 15 cases were treated through ilioinguinal approach, 10 cases through improved Kocher- Langenbeck approach, and 21 cases through combined anterior and posterior approaches. There were 3 groups of patients according to the time from injury to operation: 15 cases got operation within 1st week after injury (Group A); 23 cases within 2nd week (Group B); 8 cases within/after 3rd week (Group C). All of them were checked with radiography and 3D CT scan before and after operation. Results 34 cases( 73.9% ) obtained anatomical reduction, 8 cases( 17.4% ) got imperfect reduction, and 4 cases( 8.7% ) had unsatisfactory reduction. All the patients were followed up for 1 year to 4 years, averaging 31 months. According to D' Aubigne and Postel Hip Score, joint function was rated as excellent in 32 cases( 69.6% ) , good in 5 cases( 10.9% ) , fair in 5 cases ( 10.9% ) and poor in 4 cases ( 8.7% ) . As far as reduction was concerned, there was a significant difference (P0.05). As far as joint function was concerned, there was a significant amelioration in Groups A and B compared with Group C (P0.05) between group A and Group B. Conclusions Good knowledge of AO classification of acetabular fractures combined with particular radiological data can result in correct diagnosis of Type C acetabular fractures. Operations should be carried out within 2 weeks after injury and efforts should be made to ensure anatomical reduction. To achieve good clinical results in treatment of Type C acetabular fractures, suitable approaches and correct reduction and internal methods are essential

Objective To investigate the method and the effect of posterior approach low lumbar spinal nerve root sheath decompression under microendoscope (MED-Ⅱ). Methods Thirty-nine patients with low lumbar disc herniation, accompanying severe preoperative limb numbness and radiculalgia, who were found obvious edema of nerve root with adhesion during surgery, entered the study. In the course of lumbar discectomy, a self-made mini-scalpel was used for the incision and decompression of the nerve root sheath, in which a 3~5 mm longitudinal incision was made along the dorsal side of the nerve root. Results Decompression was achieved under microendoscope (MED-Ⅱ) in all the 39 patients. Limb numbness and radiculalgia subsided completely in 17 patients within 24 postoperative hours, while the symptoms trailed off within 2 weeks following the surgery in the remaining patients. The time to complete disappearance of the symptoms was 1~14 d (mean, 6 5 d). Conclusions Minimally invasive spinal nerve root sheath incision and decompression can give a prompt relief from limb numbness and radiculalgia, improving the recovery of nervous system. Lumbar spinal nerve root sheath incision and decompression under microendoscope (MED-Ⅱ) is a safe and effective procedure.

cases were histologically confirmed to be patients with squamous cell carcinoma, 4 cases to be patients with adenocarcinoma. The majority of the patients received stereotatic radiotherapy on the basis of external radiation. The single dose for stereotatic radiation was 5~10Gy, once every two days, 4~8 fractions, the total dose was 26~42 Gy by using 5~6 non-coplanar stationary beams or arc radiation. The patients′ CT was checked 2~3 months after treatment, there were 8 cases of CR( 26.7%), 18 cases of PR(60%),4 case of NR (13.3%).The median survival time was 12 months and the survival of 1 year and 2 years was 84 % and 61.2% (using Kaplan-Meier methods). The total effective rate was 86.7%. The results suggested that stereotatic radiotherapy (SRT) is effective for lung cancer at palliative and radical treatment. Combined with external irradiation, it can increase the doses of target and shorten the course of treatment.
10.Epidemiological study on the influence of pig-derived Ascaris to the transmission of human ascariasis
Chinese Journal of Epidemiology 2001;22(2):116-118
Objective An experimental epidemiological study was designed to investigate possible relations of pig-derived Ascaris to the transmission of human ascariasis which might be caused by cross-infection between the pig and humans. Methods In Xinjian County, Jiangxi province, two adjacent villages, Laozhi and Panzhi, with similar baseline of ascariasis in pig and human populations were selected as the study sites with a one-year longitudinal epidemiological follow-up study. People in the two villages received mass chemotherapy. Pigs received mass chemotherapy only in Panzhi village and was twice repeated with two months interval, while pigs in Laozhi village were not treated at all. In the following year after treatment on humans, ascariasis among villagers was studied cross-sectionally five times with Kato-katz technique.Results No significant difference of the re-infection patterns of human ascariasis was found between the two villages in terms of prevalence and intensity during the following year in all the five surveys (χ2<0.658,F<1.658 and P>0.1).Conclusion The results suggested that pig-derived Ascaris were mainly transmitted among pigs but had no important role on the transmission of human ascariasis. The results were in good accordance with the findings through a recent molecular genetic research on the local human-and pig-derived Ascaris worms. Possible confounding factors were discussed.
