Objective:To compare the efficacy of anhydrous ethanol and lauromacrogol in the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cyst (OEC), and to provide evidence for more effective use of these two sclerotic drugs.Methods:Thirty-three cysts in 30 patients with OEC, who were admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province from February 2017 to June 2018, were treated by ultrasound interventional therapy, followed by catheter aspiration, saline cavity cleaning, anhydrous ethanol rinsing and sclerotherapy, and lauromacrogol alcohol 1∶1 mixed solution retained in the capsule (mixed group). The therapeutic effects were observed 6 and 12 months after operation. A total of 30 OEC in 28 cases admitted to the same hospital from 2013 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed after similar treatment steps, but the intracapsular retention fluid was anhydrous ethanol (ethanol group). A total of 28 OEC in 26 patients admitted to the same hospital from 2015 to 2017 were washed with normal saline, then washed with lauromacrogol and retained in the capsule with lauromacrogol (lauromacrogol group). The therapeutic effects of 6 and 12 months after treatment between the three groups were compared.Results:According to the classification of cure, marked effect and inefficacy, there was a weak correlation among the three groups. The mixed group did not tend to be ineffective, while the lauromacrogol group tended to be ineffective 6 and 12 months after treatmen.the difference was statistically significant (adjusted standardized residual >2). According to the total effective (cure+ markedly effective) and ineffective classification, the effective rate of the mixed group was significantly higher than that of the lauromacrogol group ( P<0.016 7). There was no significant difference for the effective rate between the mixed group and the ethanol group, and between the ethanol group and the lauromacrogol group ( P>0.0167). Conclusions:The retention of ethanol-lauromacrogol mixture in the capsule of sclerotic OEC, after pre-rinsing with anhydrous ethanol is helpful to improve the curative effect of OEC and give full play to the therapeutic effect of common sclerosing agents used in ultrasound intervention.

Purpose:To study reproductive function and disease outcome in women with borderline ovarian tumors (BOT) who were treated with primary conservative surgery. Methods:From January 1990 to May 2000, the clinical data eligible according to criterions in our hospital , which had been statistically managed by SAS software package, were retrospectively reviewed and questionnaires were accepted in all cases with BOT. Results:41 of the 43 patients with a median follow up time of 63 months, finished our questionnaires. Of the 43 selected patients, 26(60.5%) were classified as serous borderline ovarian tumors (SBOT), 17(39.5%) mucous borderline ovarian tumors(MBOT) . 29 patients were free after primary conservative surgery and 14 cases with recurrence including one patient who died of tumor recurrence and the other died of intercurrent disease .The median recurrence time after conservative surgery was 39.3 months and the recurrence was more frequent in patients treated with ovarian cystectomy than in those treated with oophorectomy alone (58% compared with 22%, Fisher exact probability =0.0351). The death rate due to conservative surgery was not higher than that seen in hysterectomy and bilateral adnexectomy (Fisher exact probability=0.64)?Moreover, twelve of the 24 patients attempting pregnancy(50%) had conceived of which the median age was 25 years, with a range of 23-34 years. Conclusions: Conservative surgery remains a therapeutic option in selected patients with BOT. Although the rate of recurrence is relatively high especially in those treated with ovarian cystectomy, mortality from cancer remains about the same in patients with conservative surgery or radical operations. Many patients who desire pregnancy are able to conceive and deliver healthy offspring.

Objective To study the clinical effects of treating radiodermatis with acupoint massage and wet compress of Chinese medicine.

RESULTS: Comparing with the negative control, Xingshen Capsule could notably increase the times of motor activity, prolong the persisting time on the roating bar, shorten the sleeping time caused by sodium pentobarbital while prolong its latence. CONCLUSION: Xingshen Capsule may have outstanding effect on refreshing one's nerve and body.

Objective miRNA-122 levels may correlate with liver cancer prognosis,and therefore understanding its expression is crucial for future treatment.This study investigates the effect of DNA methylation on the expression of liver specific miRNA-122 and its effects on proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Methods Methylation sequencing detected the methylation of the miRNA-122 promoter region,and the level of miRNA-122 expression was measured by using real-time quantitative PCR.The proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular cell lines were detected by flow cytometry and CCK8.Results Compared with human primary hepatocytes [(21.9 ± 11.4)％],the level of miRNA-122 promoter methylation in Huh7,HepG2,and QSG-7701 cell lines were (87.6±9.3) ％,(89.0 ± 14.3)％,and (69.5 ±11.5)％,respectively.This represents a significant increase (P=0.000),especially in Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines.Compared with human primary hepatocytes (2.83× 104 ±3746),the levels of miR-122 expression in the above three cell lines were significantly decreased,especially in Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines (P=0.007).After treatment with 5-Aza-dc,the degree of methylation in Huh7 and HepG2 cell lines were significantly lower than that of the blank group (P=0.038,P=0.025),and the levels of miRNA-122 expression were significantly elevated (P=0.008,P=0.003).Also,compared with the control groups,the apoptosis of Huh7 cells and HepG2 cells were significantly increased (P=0.001,0.027).Conclusion The expression of miRNA-122 is regulated by DNA methylation and correlated with the apoptosis of liver cancer cells.Therfore,the methylation regulation of miRNA-122 expression might be involved in the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To assess whether familial occurrence has an influence on the morphological characteristics of patients with nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NsCL/P).Methods:A case-control analysis was performed on the morphological characteristics of familial group and sporadic group,using medical records of 1967 patients with NsCL/P treated in the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanchang University from 2002 to 2014.Results:164 (8.34％) cases presented a positive history of cleft in their families.The cleft types,the positive familial rate of cleft lip only (CLO),cleft lip and alveolar ridge(CLA),cleft lip and palate (CLP) and cleft palate only (CPO) were 8.11％,8.54％,6.19％ and 9.65％ respectively.A positive family history of NsCL/P was associated with 0.66 times risk of CPO (P =0.036,OR =0.66,95％ CI 0.44-0.98) compared to those of CLO,CLA and CLP.In familial group of CLP,the lateral incidence of male patients was different from that of female patients (P ＜ 0.001).There was no significant difference between familial group and sporadic group on birth weights,parental child-bearing age and clinical manifestations of patients.Conclusion:Familial occurrence might have an influence on cleft type,laterality and gender of the patients with NSCL/P.

Objective To explore the effect of chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 on proliferation,migration and invasion of epithelial ovarian cancer cells.Methods CXCR4 and CXCL12 mRNA and protein expression of human ovarian cancer cell line CAOV3 was detected by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry.Integrin ?1 and vascular endothelial growth factor-C(VEGF-C)mRNA expression were detected in CAOV3 cells stimulated by CXCL12.The CAOV3 cells were divided into 6 groups:control group(un-stimulated),experimental group 1(stimulated by 100 ng/ml CXCL12),experimental group 2 (stimulated by 10 ng/ml CXCL12),experimental group 3(100 ng/ml CXCL12 and 10 ?g/ml neutralizing CXCR4 antibody),experimental group 4(100 ng/ml CXCL12 and 1 ?g/ml CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100),experimental group 5(10 ?g/ml neutralizing CXCR4 antibody or ascites).Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)was used to analyze the effects of different concentrations of CXCL12 on CAOV3 cell proliferation.Transwell invasion chamber and reconstructed basement membrane(Matrigel)were used to evaluate effect of various concentrations of CXCL12 and ascites on CAOV3 cell migration and invasion. Results CAOV3 cells expressed CXCR4 mRNA(0.70?0.10)and protein,but did not express CXCL12 mRNA or protein.Immunostaining of CXCR4 was mainly located in cytoplasm.CXCR4 mRNA was up- regulated after 100 ng/ml CXCL12 stimulation(1.24?0.14;t=-7.1088,P=0.0021).Integrin ?1 mRNA was greatly increased at 3 hours by stimulation of 100 ng/ml CXCL12(before and after stimulation 0.53?0.10,1.53?0.16;P0.05).Experimental group 1 stimulated the migration and invasion of CAOV3 cells in chemotaxis assay compared with control group and experimental group 2(number of cell migration respectively 523.3?25.2,108.0?7.2,211.7 ?24.7,number of cell invasion respectively 39.3?4.0,4.0?1.0,15.7?3.1;P

The pharmacological effects of puerarin are broad, and considerable clinical data confirms that puerarin has a definite effect on cardiovascular diseases resulting from atherosclerosis. The use of puerarin for atherosclerosis has increased in recent years. This article reviews the effect and mechanism of puerarin on atherosclerosis.

Objective To explore the value of susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) for the assessment of chronic renal injury. Methods Thirty-nine patients with clinical diagnosis of chronic renal injury (RI group) who underwent routine renal MRI and SWI examination were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into mild injured group (15 cases) and moderate to severe injured group (24 cases) by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). At the same time, 17 volunteers without chronic renal injury who had normal serum creatinine (Scr) and blood urea nitrogen were recruited as control group. All subjects underwent routine renal MRI and SWI examination. The ratios of cortex to medulla were measured and calculated in both kidneys' magnitude image and susceptibility weighted image, which were indicated as C/MMAG and C/MSWI. Independent sample t test was used to compare the differences of C/MMAG and C/MSWI between control group and RI group, and paired sample t test was used to compare the differences betweenC/MMAG and C/MSWI in each group. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the difference of C/MMAG and C/MSWI between the control group and the different RI groups. ROC was employed to assess the diagnostic efficacy of C/MMAG and C/MSWI in renal injury. Pearson linear correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between C/MMAG, C/MSWI and eGFR, Scr in patients with renal injury. Results The C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the RI group were 1.101±0.039 and 1.071±0.046, respectively. C/MSWI was obviously lower than C/MMAG, and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.056, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the control group (P>0.05). The C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the RI group were obviously lower than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=4.564, 6.122;P<0.01).The C/MMAG and C/MSWI in the mild injured group and the moderate to severe injured group were significantly lower than those in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). While the differences of those between mild injured group and moderate to severe injured group showed no statistical significance (P>0.05). The area under ROC of C/MMAG and C/MSWI in diagnosis of renal injury were 0.853 and 0.952, respectively. C/MMAG was positively correlated with eGFR (r=0.460,P<0.01). Conclusions Susceptibility-weighted imaging can be used to assess chronic renal injury. Although it cannot reflect the degree of renal function damage, it has some value in the early diagnosis of mild renal injury.

BACKGROUND:There are more literature reports about the floating shoulder injury in recent years, but there stil have obvious controversies about the treatment of the floating shoulder injury. Whether choose the conservative treatment or operative treatment is an important issue in face of every clinician. OBJECTIVE:To review the clinical features and present treatment situation of the floating shoulder injury. METHODS: A computer-based online search was performed in the PubMed and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database for the clinical research papers on the treatment methods of the floating shoulder injury from January 1975 to August 2015. The key words were floating shoulder injury, diagnose, treatment method. The articles published earlier and repetitive researches were excluded. Finaly, 33 articles were included for further analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Floating shoulder injury is a kind of severe shoulder injury which is caused by high energy and violence. It is often complicated with severe systemic injury, which should be paid more attention in clinic. (2) The treatment of floating shoulder injury has been controversial, and there is no standard treatment guideline. Conservative treatment and operative treatment can get good outcomes. There are less reports about conservative treatment of the floating shoulder injury in recent years. The outcome of operative treatment may better than conservative treatment. (3) Conservative or simple clavicle fixation can be used for fractures without displacement or with smal displacement. Obviously displaced fractures can be treated with simple clavicle fixation or double fixation of clavicle and scapula, which may have good repair effects.
