BACKGROUND:Recently, the biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and with no adverse reaction have been widely applied in the clinical treatment and care of gynecology and obstetrics. The development of the biodegradable material is very rapid. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application of biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics. METHODS: The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases for articles related to biodegradable materials in gynecology and obstetrics using the keywords of “degraded materials, biodegradable materials, gynecological care, surgery” in Chinese and English respectively. This article has an outlook of the potential application in gynecology and obstetrics based on clinical experience. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biodegradable materials with good biocompatibility and biological security play an important role in biomedical materials. Their polymers and degradation products show smal adverse reactions to the body, and have good biomechanical properties, physical and chemical properties and good workability, which have been widely used in gynecology and obstetrics, such as absorbable stylolite and tampon tape. Although we have made a great progress on the biomaterial research, it stil has the limitation and safety flaws in the clinic. As the biomaterial research is further developed, the biomaterial application prospect wil be more promising.

Objective To investigate the influence of the cardiac function on the prognosis in the patients with acute myocardial infarction(AM I) complicating multivessel disease (M VD ) treated by revascularization .Methods 152 cases of AM I complicating MVD treated by routine percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were divided into the normal group(94 cases ,LVEF≥50% ) and the lower group(58 cases ,LVEF<50% ) according to the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,and the influence of the cardiac function on the prognosis was analyzed .Results The myocardial infarction history ,history of atrial fibrillation ,NYHA classifica-tion ,hs-CRP ,LADp ,ISR ,left ventricular structure and function had statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0 .05) .The multivariate Logistic regrossion analysis showed that NYHA classification ,LVEF ,LVMI and LVEDd were the inde-pendent risk factors affecting the prognosis after PCI .Conclusion The reduced cardiac function is a risk factor affecting the prog-nosis of AMI complicating MVD treated by PCI ,the improvement of the cardiac function will be beneficial to the prognosis of the patients .

10 mU/L (GroupⅡ,71 cases) when they were one year old.There were 40 healthy children in control group. The genomic DNA from the peripheral blood was extracted and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing were employed to detect the IL-12B gene 3′UTR+1188 SNP.Results The frequency of AA,AC and CC genotype in GroupⅠwere 25.7%,44.3% and 30.0% respectively,and 36.6%, 47.9% and 15.5% in GroupⅡ,48.8%,39.0%,12.2%,in control group,respectively.The differ- ence of frequency of CC genotype and non-CC genotype between GroupⅠand GroupⅡwas significant (x~2=17.078,P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the rationality of vancomysin use in the hospital where the authors work.METH-ODS:50patients taking vancomysin between May.2005and Nov.2005were studied.The pathogenic examination,monitoring of drug concentration in blood,indices of renal function,combined use of drugs as well as adverse effects in these patients were reviewed and analyzed statistically.RESULTS:On the whole vancomysin use in our hospital was safe.CONCLUSION:Vancomysin use will be made safer by monitoring drug concentration in blood,individualizing drug administration,and timely correcting the aggravating factors of kidney injury.

Background Oxidative stress is thought to be responsible to diabetes-complicated cataract.Our previous study demonstrated that as an iron chelator,deferiprone can protect lens from oxidative damage.Objective This further study aimed to investigate the role of deferiprone on the formation of diabetic-complicated cataract.Methods Forty 6-week-old Wistar rats were included in the study and randomized into 4 groups.Eight of them were used as the normal control group.Diabetes mellitus animal models were established in 22 rats by the carbonhydratediet and fat diet and the intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg streptozocin (STZ).The deferiprone of 50 mg and 100 mg were intragastrically given in 8 model rats respectively after 3 days once a day for 8 weeks.The opacification of lenses was examined under the slit lamp weekly after treatment.The animals were sacrificed and the lenses were obtained at the eighth week of deferiprone injection.The concentrations of water-soluble protein ( WSP),urine-soluble protein (USP) and alkali-soluble protein (ASP) in rat lens suspension were detected by Bradford method.The super oxide dimutese (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) were determined spectrometically using xanthine oxidase,thiobarbituric acid,dithio bis-nitrobenzoic acid.Results No evidently differences were found in the content of the WSP,USP and ASP among the these groups( F=1.73,0.18,0.09,P＞0.05).The contents of MDA in 50 mg deferiprone group and 100 mg deferiprone group were ( 1.05 ± 0.10 ) mmol/g and ( 1.05 ± 0.22 ) mmol/g respectively,showing a significant decline in comparison with diabetic model group (P＜0.05).The SOD and GSH contents in lens were (321.29±16.57) U/mg,(322.07±22.16) U/mg and (7.83±0.65 ) mg/g,(7.70±0.77 ) mg/g respectively in 50 mg deferiprone group and 100 mg deferiprone group and were considerably elevated in comparison with ( 298.70± 14.69 ) U/mg and ( 5.47 ± 1.01 ) mg/g of diabetic model groups ( P＜0.05 ).No significant differences were found in the indexes mentioned above between 50 mg and 100 mg deferiprone groups(P＞0.05).Conclusions Deferiprone can reduce oxidative stress and improve the energy metabolism of the lens in diabetic rats.

Objective To explore the effects of exercise training(ET)on the functional recovery of nerves (NFR)in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into an ET group,a control group and a sham operation group(SO group).An ICH model was established with colla- genase in the ET and control groups,while sodium chloride was used with the SO group.The ET group exercised for 40 min a day from 24 h to 30 d after the operation.Attitudinal reflexes,balance function and muscle strength were assessed at 24 h,3 d,7 d,14 d,21 d and 28 d after the operation.Results Compared with the control group, NFR values were increased significantly in the ET group,and there was no obvious dysfunction in the SO group. Conclusion Early ET can contribute to functional recovery after ICH.
