Objective To investigate the prognosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅱ and Ⅲ after being treated by microwave coagulation, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) and cold knife conization. Methods From March 2000 to February 2006, 289 patients with CIN Ⅱ or Ⅲ diagnosed by colposcopic biopsy were treated and followed up according to consensus guidelines for the management of women with CIN. Results Totally 233 of the 289 patients (80.6%) completed the follow-up (3-56 months with a mean of 11.8). Among them, 77.7% (181/233) received treatment; the other 22.3% (52/233) did not. In the 181 patients who received treatment, the lesion disappeared in 160 (88.4%) cases, during the follow-up; while in those who did not received treatment, the CIN was cured spontaneously in 63.5% (33/52; ?2=17.664, P=0.000). The prognosis of CIN Ⅱ was similar among the patients who were treated with microwave coagulation, LEEP, or cold knife conization (?2=0.008,P=0.996). In addition, in the patients with CIN Ⅲ, the prognosis after cold knife conization was not significantly different from that after LEEP (?2=0.017,P=0.897). Conclusions The management of CIN Ⅱ and Ⅲ may increase the cure rate. However, the three therapeutic methods produce similar prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of loop electrosurgical excision procedure(LEEP) for the management of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) grade Ⅱ. Methods A total of 28 patients were pathologically diagnosed as having CIN grade Ⅱ by colposcopic cervical biopsy.High-risk human papillomavirus(HPV) DNA testing showed positive results in 96.4% of the patients(27/28).The procedure was conducted under surface anesthesia.A loop electrode was used to cut through the cervical tissues,and then a square-shaped electrode or a small-sized loop electrode was utilized to complete the resection of lesions,including parts of the cervical canal.All the patients were followed postoperatively. Results The intraoperative blood loss was 0~20 ml,and the operation time was 5~10 min.Out of the 28 patients,postoperative abnormal vaginal bleeding was found in 3 patients.No other complications occurred.The resected tissues showed no obvious charring changes.The lesions of CIN completely disappeared in 15 patients(53.6%),subsided to grade Ⅰ in 5 patients,remained in grade Ⅱ in 5 patients,and progressed to grade Ⅲ in 3 patients.Follow-up examinations in the 28 patients for 6~24 months(mean,16 months) found no residual lesions or recurrence.The high-risk HPV DNA findings turned negative in 23 patients. Conclusions LEEP is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of CIN grade Ⅱ,with advantages of little invasion,simplicity of performance,and no need of hospitalization.

Wearing transfemoral prosthesis is the only way to complete daily physical activity for amputees. Motion pattern recognition is important for the control of prosthesis, especially in the recognizing swing phase and stance phase. In this paper, it is reported that surface electromyography (sEMG) signal is used in swing and stance phase recognition. sEMG signal of related muscles was sampled by Infiniti of a Canadian company. The sEMG signal was then filtered by weighted filtering window and analyzed by height permitted window. The starting time of stance phase and swing phase is determined through analyzing special muscles. The sEMG signal of rectus femoris was used in stance phase recognition and sEMG signal of tibialis anterior is used in swing phase recognition. In a certain tolerating range, the double windows theory, including weighted filtering window and height permitted window, can reach a high accuracy rate. Through experiments, the real walking consciousness of the people was reflected by sEMG signal of related muscles. Using related muscles to recognize swing and stance phase is reachable. The theory used in this paper is useful for analyzing sEMG signal and actual prosthesis control.

Objective To evaluate the role of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) testing in diagnosis of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3+) and cervical cancer.Methods Total 3426 women with known cytologic abnormality tests were subjected to detect high-risk HPV DNA by hybrid capture II and to have established diagnoses by cervical coloposcopy-directed biopsy test.Results Among 3426 women,45 were cervical cancer,670 were CIN 2/3,and 2711 were CIN 1 or other benign lesions based on the cervical histologic results. Compared with the women with CIN 1 or other benign lesions,the women with CIN 2/3+ had higher positive rates of HR-HPV. Higher load of HR-HPV was more common among women with cervical lesions than those without. Fifty-seven women who were transiently HR-HPV positive did not develop CIN2/3+ during follow-up.Conclusions Our data suggest that a high viral load could be used as a short-term marker of CIN 2/3+,and women repeatedly tested positive for HR-HPV are at risk of developing CIN2/3+. Detecting HR-HPV and follow up the positive women would be useful in diagnosis of CIN2/3+.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis and therapy of vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) and correlation to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Methods The clinical and pathological data about age, liquid-based cytology, human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test, colposcopy,histology types and treatment in 35 patients with VAIN were reviewed to investigate the diagnosis and therapy of VAIN and correlation to CIN. Results Mean age at presentation was 43.9 years. The percentage of VAIN I, VAINⅡ and VAINⅢ were 52% (18/35), 34% (12/35) and 14% (5/35), respectively. 8% (1/13) of patients were younger than 40 years developed VAIN Ⅲ, while 18% (4/22) patients were eider than 40 years. There were 83% (29/35) cases were diagnosed from 2007 to June 2008. 69% (24/35) or 17% (6/35) cases had the history of CIN or cervical cancer, respectively. VAIN Ⅱ - Ⅲ accounted for 3/9, 53% (8/15) and 4/6 of CIN I , CIN Ⅱ - Ⅲ and cervical cancer, respectively. There were 87% (13/15) positive high risk HPV infection in VAIN Ⅰ , while 100% in VAIN Ⅱ and VAINⅢ. There were 97% (33/34) cases with abnormality for liquid-based cytology and 86% (30/35) cases of lesions were located in the upper 1/3 vagina. Among 19 cases received therapy, 14 eases (74%) were treated by surgery, 2 eases (11%) by brachytherapy, 3 cases (16%) used drug on the surface of vagina and the lesions were shown recovery in 9 cases followed up. Conclusion The clinical characteristics of VAIN are similar to CIN and the principles of diagnosis and treatment are also the same as that of CIN.
