Objective To investigate the relationship of nerve growth factor (NGF) between serum and follicular fluid in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and its effect on pregnancy outcomes. Methods From December 2011 to November 2012, 65 PCOS patients suffered with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) were included in PCOS group and 31 non-PCOS patients with IVF-ET were used as control group. The expressions of NGF in serum and follicular fluid were detected by ELISA on the injection day of chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). The expression levels of NGF in serum and follicular fluid were compared between PCOS group and control group. Results The NGF levels in serum[(14.38±0.42) ng/L] and follicular fluid[(9.61±0.49)ng/L] were significantly higher in PCOS group than those of control group[(11.39±0.38) ng/L and (7.55 ± 0.40)ng/L]. In PCOS group, NGF levels in serum [(14.22 ± 0.35)ng/L] and follicular fluid [(9.30 ± 0.31)ng/L] were significantly lower in pregnant group than those of non-pregnant group[(14.51±0.43)ng/L, (9.86±0.46)ng/L, P<0.01]. Conclusion The increased levels of NGF in serum and follicular fluid of PCOS patients contribute to the pathogenesis of PCOS. The high expression of NGF in serum and follicular fluid may be harmful to pregnancy in PCOS patients.

Osteonecrosis is the most common disorder in femoral head and scaphoid. However, avascular necrosis (AVN) in metacarpal head is a rare disease. In the present study, a 14-year-old male patient complained of right-hand pain with a limited range of motion for one month. Physical examination showed that the active flexion was 70° and the extension was limited to 30° of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. The grip strength decreased to 60% of the contralateral hand. X-rays demonstrated flattening and sclerotic changes in the long finger and ring finger of metacarpal head. CT scanning indicated cystic, osteochondral defects and sclerotic changes in metacarpal head. Imaging examination further confirmed the diagnosis of AVN in the long metacarpal finger and ring finger. After conservative treatments including splint immobilization, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and physiotherapy, the local pain symptoms of the MCP joint gradually disappeared. The range of motion of MCP joint returned to normal with the grip strength score as 105% of the contralateral hand. MRI confirmed excellent remodeling and regeneration in the metacarpal head at two years later. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatments of AVN of metacarpal head were reviewed. Although radiograph examination is commonly used, early-stage osteonecrosis of the metacarpal head should be confirmed by MRI. Given the rarity of this disorder, there is no consensus on the treatments. Metacarpal necrosis is the more common disorder in adolescent patients with a history of trauma. Considering the potential of bone remodeling, juveniles with metacarpal head necrosis could recover by conservative treatments.

Objective To analyze the protein expression profile of human glomerular mesangial cells (HMCs) under high glucose and to characterize molecular functions and biological processes. Methods HMCs were divided into high glucose cultured group (30 mmol/L) and normal glucose cultured group (5 mmol/L). The total proteins were extracted after culture for 48 hours. The total proteins of the two groups were separated using two-dimensional fluorescence difference in gel electrophoresis (2-D DIGE) and analyzed using DeCyder 2-D difference analysis software. The differentially expressed proteins were further identified using in-gel digestion with trypsin, of which peptide extracts were prepared for MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. Protein identifications were searched in the NCBI protein database using the Mascot search engine. Results One hundred and forty-seven protein spots whose expression levels were significantly increased or decreased more than 1.5 folds under high glucose were identified. Ninety-six differentially expression protein spots were analyzed by peptide mass fingerprinting and 37 kinds of proteins were identified. The protein spots of phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein 1 (PEBP-1), granulysin,ATP synthase H + transporting mitochondrial FO complex subunit F2 were observed only in high glucose group. The expression of 24 proteins was up-regulated by high glucose, including eosinophil cationic protein, RGS membrane-interacting proteins 16 (MIR16), peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, disks large homolog DLG2, breast cancer 2, early onset (BRCA2), Catechol-O-methyltransferase etc. The expression of 5 proteins was down-regulated by high glucose, including O-GlcNAc transferase-interacting protein 106 000 isoform 1, proteasome beta 6 subunit precursor,NEFA-interacting nuclear protein NIP30 etc. Conclusions Expression of 147 proteins in HMCs alters under high glucose. These proteins are involved in the regulation of cytoskeleton, glucose metabolism, cell division, gene transcription, signal transduction, phosphorylation, cell proliferation,apoptosis etc. In-depth analysis of these differentially expressed proteins' function and crosstalk is expected to provide an important experimental basis for clarifying the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To assess the impact of learning curve on perioperative complications in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) by a series of consecutive 200 cases in a single center.Methods Two hundred patients who were biopsy proved prostatic carcinoma and underwent LRP were retrospectively evaluated.All the operations were performed by professor Ma Lulin.The patients were divided into 4 groups according the time of operation.All the clinical data,including age,body mass index (BMI),preoperative PSA level,biopsy Gleason score,and clinical stage were collected.Operative parameters and peri-operative complications were evaluated,including operative time,blood loss,transfusion rate,and perioperative complications.The complications were evaluated by Clavien classification system.Results Age,BMI,PSA,prostate volume,biopsy Gleason score and clinical stage had no significant difference among the 4 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The operative time was gradually lowered from group one to group four.Significantly less blood loss occurred after every 50 cases of LRP (P ＜ 0.001).The complication rates were 15.5％ in this series,28.0％,18.0％,12.0％ and 4.0％ for group one to group four respectively.The complication rate reduced as experience was gained (P =0.008).The rates of mild complications were 24.0％,14.0％,6.0％ and 4.0％,and severe complication rates were 4.0％,4.0％,6.0％ and 0,respectively.Conclusion With experience was gained and technique was improved,the operative time and blood loss of LRP decreased and complication rate reduced substantially.

Objective To study the anatomical location and pathology of membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava(IVC)in Budd-Chiari syndrome(BCS)with research on the etiologic mechanism and pathology.Methods Analysis of 100 normal adults was performed including the gross anatomy of IVC segment from the level of diaphragm up to right atrium.The conventional,microscopic pathologic examination of the biopsy sampling IVC obstruetice mambrane tissue in 70 cases toghther with the complete resected membrane from the radical therapy for 20 cases of BCS,were collected and under investigation.Results The macroscopic examination revealed the obstructive membrane in one case(1%)localizing at the diaphragmatic level,approximately 28 mm,away from the IVC entrance into the right atrium and a newly found valvula was seen on the left lateral wall of the upper part of the hepatic vein orifice.Simultaneously,47% adults showed Eustachiun valve existing in IVC near the entrance to right atrium.Microscopy confirmed all the forementioned membranes consisting of vascular valvular structures.Among them(21/70),30% showed additional organized thrombus formations,and 9%(6/70)with a few amount of inflammatory cellular infiltrations.The total intact resection membrane was continuous with the vascular wall under microscopic examination.Conclusions The first newly report of the existence of a special valvula at the diaphragmatic level of IVC reveals the possibility of high correlation with the occurance of IVC membranous obstruction type in BCS.

Virtual reality simulators and surgical demonstration were used in laparoscopic teaching combining teacher' guiding with students' practice to improve the teaching effectiveness hecause of the limitations of the traditional apprenticeship teaching methods.The new method was applied for 2 cycles and for 6 weeks.The results showed that the teaching methods of virtual reality simulators combined with surgical demonstration can significantly improve the effectiveness of laparoscopic teaching and shorten the initial learning curve,therefore it is worth promoting in laparoscopic operation training and teaching.
