Objective To evaluate which parameters of transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography(TVCDU) can effectively reflect blood flow in ovarian tumors. Methods TVCDU was preoperatively used to determine all the parameters of blood flow in 60 women with epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC) and 36 with benign ovarian cystadenomas (control group). Microvessel density(MVD) was tested in the tissue samples by immunohistochemical method(SP method). The parameters of TVCDU in EOC were compared with those in control group.The correlation between MVD and the parameters in EOC group and control group was analyzed. Results ①Statistical differences of arteria showing rate, arteria number, vasculature type, diastolic notch, PI, RI, S/D, TAMXV were seen between EOC group and control group(P

[Objective]To demonstrate mechanism of ESW in curing osteogetic disorders,we studied expression of some osteogenetic factors in human mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs)when exposed to ESW.[Method]After success in marrow aspiration,isolation and obtainment optimal experimental energy,a dose of 5kV and 100 times of ESW was applied to hMSCs of passage 1.The expression of IGF-Ⅰ and TGF-?1 were examined by immunocytochemical staining.[Result]The cytochemical staining results showed that expression of IGF-Ⅰ and TGF-?1 appeared at different passage of hMSCs after ESW intervention.Appearance of IGF-Ⅰ was earlier than TGF-?1 which didnt express until passage 7.At the same interval,the expression of IGF-Ⅰ and TGF-?1 in control group difference is lower than ESW group,respectively(P

Objective To examine the effects of formaldehyde on the process of sperm development and reproductive capacity in male mice and the micronucleus rate of liver cells from offspring.Methods The mice were randomly divided into negative control group(NC),formaldehyde exposed group and positive control group (PC).The exposed dose was 21 mg?m-3 (1/24 LC50),42 mg?m-3 (1/12 LC50) and 84 mg?m-3 (1/6 LC50),respectively. 12 male mice were included in each group.Male mice from different formaldehyde exposed groups were inhaled with formaldehyde for 2 h one day,6 d each week,lasted for 13 weeks.The aberration rate of sperm in male mice and the micronucleus rate of liver cells from offspring were observed,and the reproductive capacity of male mice was detected by dominant lethal test.Results The aberration rates of sperm in mice from different formaldehyde exposed groups were significantly higher than that in negative control (P

Objective To explore the characteristics of fetal movement and FHR variation elicited by acoustic stimulation and whether acoustic stimulation can replace vibroacoustic stimulation. Methods Ninety-four and seventy-six normal pregnant women for antenatal visit were recruited from the Woman's Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University from April 2002 to February 2003. All subjects were divided into 5 groups to be exposed to five different intensities of acoustic stimulations at 95,100,105,110,115 dB respectively and self-control of blank and vibroacoustic stimulation were designed. The fetal movements and FHR were recorded during the study. Results (1) The percentage of fetal movement evoked by 95,100,105,110,115 dB airborne sound was 15% , 89%, 83% , 83% , 95% respectively. The total percentage of fetal movement evoked by vibroacoustic stimulation was 99% for all subjects. The percentages of evoked fetal movement by 100,105,110,115 dB airborne sound were not significantly different from those by vibroacoustic stimulation. (2)The percentages of FHR acceleration ≥15 bpm in 100,105,110 and 115 dB airborne sound groups were 39%, 61%, 56% and 85%, respectively, while 92% for all cases evoked by vibroacoustic stimulation was significantly higher than those evoked by 100,105 and 110 dB airborne sound group but with no significant difference to 115 dB airborne sound group. (3)The peak value in FHR evoked by 95,100,105, 110 and 115 dB airborne sound were -4. 5 bpm, 12 bpm, 17 bpm, 14 bpm and 20. 5 bpm, respectively. The peak FHR acceleration evoked by vibroacoustic stimulation was 23 bpm which was significantly higher than those by 100,105,110 dB airborne sound and no significant difference was detected between 115 dB airborne sound and vibroacoustic stimulation group. (4)Compared with 115 dB airborne sound, vibroacoustic stimulation evoked significantly longer duration of FHR tachycardia (42. 5 s vs 5 s, P = 0. 011) and fetal movement (270 s vs 100 s, P = 0. 000). Conclusions Acoustic stimulation at 115 dB is able to elicit efficient fetal movement and FHR acceleration without prolonged tachycardia, fetal behavioral disorganization or excessive fetal movement and is reasonable to replace vibroacoustic stimulation for awaking fetuses combined with NST.

Objective To investigate the effect of quorum sensing autoinducer 3OC12-HSL of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the apoptosis of Caco-2 cells and its mechanism. Methods Caco-2 cells were incubated with 3OC12-HSL for 4 h and then examined by MTT method for cytoactivities. Flow cytometry was used to analyze apoptosis rate of Caco-2 cells. Expression of apoptosis associated proteins p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB were detected by Western blot. Results After exposure to 3OC12-HSL for 4 h, cytoactivities of Caco-2 cells was reduced(P<0.05) with dose-dependent pattern, and higher dose of 3OC12-HSL leaded to increasing apoptosis rate of Caco-2 cells(P<0.05). 3OC12-HSL raised expression of apoptosis associated proteins p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB detected by Western blot. Conclusion Quorum sensing autoinducer 3OC12-HSL can effect cytoactivities of Caco-2 cells and may induce its apoptosis by enhancing the expression of p-p38/MAPK and NF-κB protein.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on dreaming during general anesthesia in pediatric patients.Methods A total of 400 pediatric patients of both sexes,aged 5-12 yr,with body mass index of 15.2-18.1 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ,undergoing elective orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into control group (group C,n=200) and dexmedetomidine group (group D,n =200) according to the computer-generated random numeral order and numeral parity.Dexmedetomidine was infused intravenously in a loading dose of 0.5 μg/kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by infusion of 0.5 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until 30 min before the end of surgery in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group C.The pediatric patients who regained consciousness and recovered orientation in post-anesthesia care unit were interviewed for dreaming using a modified Brice questionnaire,and the dream (emotion,hearing and behaviours in dreams,memories for dreams) was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of dreaming was significantly decreased,the memory score was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in emotion,hearing and behaviour scores in dreams in group D (P＞0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can decrease the development of dreaming during general anesthesia and produces no effect on the content of dreams (most are pleasant) in pediatric patients.
