Objective To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopy for the treatment of rectovaginal septum endometriosis. Methods A totalof 13 patients with rectovaginal septum endometriosis underwent open (5 cases) or laparoscopic (8 cases) operations in our hospital between January 2001 and May 2006.Results In the open surgery group,the operation time ranged from 130 to 200 minutes (mean,187 minutes) ,and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 189 ml (170 to 280).After the operation,the menstrual pain was relieved in 5 cases at 1 month,4 at 3 months,3 at 6 months,and 2 at 12 months.Whereas,in the laparoscopy group,the operation time ranged from 120 to 185 minutes (mean,155 minutes),and the mean blood loss was 135 ml(100 to 190 ml).The menstrual pain was relieved in 8 cases at month 1,8 cases at month 3,7 cases at month 6,and 5 cases at month 12.Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery is effective and safe for patients with rectovaginal septum endometriosis.

Objective: The extract technologies for the components of Fuzhuang Capsules were optimized. Methods: Four methods: the semi bionic extraction (SBE), the water extraction (WE), the semi bionic extraction by precipitation with alcohol (SBAE) and the water extraction by precipitation with alcohol (WAE) were used to extract Fuzhuang Capsules, with panaxadiol, panaxatriol, ? sitosterol, icariine, betaine, total sugar and dried extractive taken as the marker, under the same conditions of drug granularity, solvent amount, decocting temperature, filtration, concentration, etc., and then four methods were compared and studied. Results: Through the comprehensive evaluation of seven markers, their comprehensive values Y decreased in the order of SBE, WE, SBAE and WAE. Conclusion: SBE is better than the other three methods in the extraction of the components of Fuzhuang Capsules, which is showed by the fact that the pH values of the water for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd decoctions are 3.4, 7.5 and 8.4, and the extraction times are 2.0h, 1.5h, and 1.5h respectively.

A CdTe/ZnSe quantum-dot submicrobead ( QBs ) , which exhibited fluorescence intensity approximately 2800-fold stronger than that of single quantum dots, was conjugated with the anti-histidine rich protein( HRP )-Ⅱ mAbs using N-( 3-( Dimethylamino ) propyl )-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride ( EDC ) method as fluorescence probe. The goat anti-HRP-Ⅱ polyclonal antibodies and donkey anti-mouse polyclonal antibodies were sprayed onto the nitrocellulose membrane as test line and control line, respectively. The resultant fluorescence probes were introduced to the immunochromatographic strip for the quantitative determination of Plasmodium falciparum. For determination of Plasmodium falciparum in serum, the QBs based immunochromatographic strips exhibited a good dynamic linear range from 5 . 8 Parasite/μL to 8010 Parasite/μL with a limit of detection of 5. 8 Parasite/μL. The detection time of the proposed QBs based immunochromatographic strips for each sample was only 15 min. Moreover, the recovery rates of the intra-and inter-assay ranged from 93. 0% to 111. 9%, and 98. 3% to 115. 1% respectively, while the relative standard deviations ( RSDs) of intra-and inter-assay were below 5%.

Objective: To investigate the effects of miR-24 on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene expression with regulation and endothelial cell proliferation, migration, tube formation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Methods: Constructed high expression plasmid of miR-24 and miR-24 antisense sequence were introduced into HUVECs and the cells included in 3 groups: Control group, miR-24 group and miR-24 inhibitor group. HUVEC proliferation was detected by MTT test, migration was measured by Scratching and Transwell methods, tube formation was examined by Matrigel assay; mRNA and protein expressions of eNOS and Sp1were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis respectively. Results:①Compared with Control group, miR-24 group had decreased cell proliferation by 45.45% as (0.36 ± 0.04) vs (0.66 ± 0.08),P<0.05; miR-24 group had lower speed of cell migration, decreased number of cell migration by 74.75% as (30.25±3.78) vs (119.80±10.94),P<0.01 and there was no obvious tube formation.②Compared with Control group, miR-24 group showed reduced eNOS mRNA expression by 46.2% as (0.49±0.02) vs (0.91±0.01),P<0.05, reduced protein expression by 49.07% as (0.55±0.05) vs (1.08±0.05),P<0.05; meanwhile, decreased Sp1 mRNA expression by 44.9% as (0.49±0. 01) vs (0. 89±0.02)P<0.05, decreased protein expression by 54.90% as (0.46±0.02) vs (1.02±0.04),P<0.05. In miR-24 inhibitor group, the above indexes were lower than Control group but higher than miR-24 group, the amount of tube formation and the length of tubes were similar between Control group and miR-24 inhibitor group. Conclusion: MiR-24 may inhibit HUVECs proliferation, migration, tube formation and suppress eNOS expression; Sp1 might be one of the important regulators.
