Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment for incarceration of retroverted uterus in pregnant women.Methods:This study retrospectively recruited four gravidas with incarcerated retroverted uterus indicated by prenatal ultrasonography in Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from August 2016 to February 2020. Clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of these cases were described.Results:Vaginal bleeding or discharge were the main symptoms of the four cases and prenatal ultrasound suggested incarcerated retroverted uterus. Obstetric examination was performed for all cases, except one due to small gestational age, and bulging posterior fornix was found in one case. Three cases were diagnosed in the third trimester and one at 14 gestational weeks. In light of gestations, symptoms, and anterior uterine muscle thickness, three patients underwent planned cesarean sections with a median abdominal incision and a superior transverse uterine incision after fetal lung maturation acceleration. Uterus involution was good, and the incisions healed well in these three cases, with all neonates in good condition. Following a two-week knee-chest position treatment, the position of her uterus and bladder turned normal in case 4.Conclusions:Considering the atypical clinical presentations, clinicians should be aware of incarceration of retroverted uterus when related symptoms or signs were presented. Placenta previa might be the comorbidity and should be differentially diagnosed. The timing of a cesarean section is supposed to be determined based on multiple factors. Moreover, a median abdominal incision and a superior transverse uterine incision are recommended, and an anatomic landmark is often required for the latter's accurate position.

Objective To observe the effect of connect meridians inducing Yin from Yang on muscle-tension after cerebral infarction. Methods 82 patients with cerebral infarction in Second Hospital of Harbin from 2010 to 2014 were divided into observation group (n=41) and control group (n=41) according to hospitalization order. The observation group accepted acupuncture of connecting meridians inducing Yin from Yang, and the control group accepted the traditional acupuncture method for 2 weeks. The situation of spasticity, the motor limb function of limbs, and activities of daily living were evaluated with modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Clinic Spasticity Index (CSI), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Barthel index (BI), respectively. Results Compared with the control group, the score of MAS decreased (t=2.212, P=0.030), the score of CSI decreased (t=2.514, P=0.014), the score of FMA increased (t=4.288, P<0.001), and the score of BI in-creased (t=2.970, P=0.004) in the observation group after treatment. Conclusion The acupuncture of connecting meridians inducing Yin from Yang can reduce the muscle-tension of limbs, improve the motor function and increase the activities of daily living.

It is important to detect and prevent Alzheimer disease (AD) at its early stage. Constituting the early stage sign of AD, amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) has drawn much attention. Studies have shown that donepezil could reduce the AD assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog) score in MCI patients and improve the patient's attention and speed of response; however, it also has many side effects. Therefore, the authors aim to explore the effects of Chinese herbal medicine for treating aMCI.

Objective Although the correlation between high risk human papilloma virus (hrHPV) infection and cervical cancer ( CC ) or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN ) is well known , vaginal cancer ( VC ) or vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia ( VAIN) also caused by hrHPV has not received enough attention .This article aims to explore the clinical characteristics of VC or VAIN after operations of CC or CIN in order to provide evidence for the treatment of these diseases . Methods The clinical charac-teristics and treatment of 15 cases with VC or VAIN after operations of CC or CIN were reviewed from Jan 2010 to May 2013 in our hos-pital. Results The mean age was (53.6 ±10.82) years, ranged from 39 to 73 years.The duration from the first operation to devel-oped VAIN or VC was (25.07 ±18.31) months, ranged from 1 to 60 months.There are 4 cases developed VC, 4 cases VAINⅢand 2 cases VINⅡfrom 10 CC patients;and 3 cases developed VC , 2 cases VAINⅢfrom 5 CINⅢpatients.hrHPV test were positive in all 15 patients.Treatment in these series were performed including total vaginectomy in 8 patients (3 VC, 4 VAINⅢ and 1 VAINⅡpatients), pelvic lymphonectomy in 1;upper vaginectomy in 2 patients (1 VC, 1 VAINⅢ), radiation or chemo-radiation therapy in 3 (3 VC), interferon muscle injection combined with topical application of estrogen and acyclovir gel in 2 (1 VC, 1 VAINⅡ). Conclusion Careful follow-up after CC or CIN operations are very important because continued hrHPV infection may result VC and VAIN lesions.Vaginectomy may be the best therapy .Interferon muscle injection combined with topical application of estrogen and acyclovir gel are also alternatively therapy , especially for hard to operate patients . Radiation therapy seems to be not very adaptable for VAIN patients .

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathlogical characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ovarian small cell car-cinoma hypercalcemic type ( OSCCHT) associated with acute renal dysfunction. Methods A case of OSCCHT associated with acute renal dysfunction was reported. The clinical and pathologic data, treatment and pathological examinations were analyzed and the related literatures were reviewed. Results A 29-year-olds women was presented to hospital with inappetence and significant weight loss for 2 months. The laboratory examination showed abnormal renal function, and pelvic cavity mass, possibly coming from adnexa of the uterus was seen by radiography. Serum levels showed significantly increased serum calcium with acute renal dysfunction. An emergency opera-tion was performed just after renal function partially recovered by 2 times hemodialysis. During surgery, right ovary tumor with a size of 12 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm was inspected. Microscopically, the tumor cells were arranged in a diffuse solid pattern, mutiple nodules were separated by fibrous tissue. some small folliculars and pseudoglandular cavities with acidophilia secretion within nodules could been ob-served. Tumor cells were medium to large with eosinophilic cytoplasm, round or oval vesicular nucleus, increased karyoplasmic ratio and pathologic mitosis. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells expressed EMA, CKpan, C-erbB-2 ( +) , CA125 ( focal+) and Ki-67 proliferation index was about 60%, while ER, PR, Syn, CgA, PTH, Inhibin, CD99, AFP, PLAP, CD30 and CD20 were not expressed. Conclusion Ovarian small cell carcinoma hypercalcemic type with acute renal dysfunction is a very rare with a rapidly progressive and highly malignant tumor. The final diagnosis mainly lies on clinical information ( hypercalcaemia) , morphology and immunohistochemistry, combined with electron microscopy and molecular biological detection when necessary.

This study aims to save cost of sampling for estimating the area under the amlodipine plasma concentration versus time curve in 24 hours (AUC(0-24 h)). Limited sampling strategy (LSS) models was developed and validated by mutiple regression model within 4 or fewer amlodipine concentration values. Absolute prediction error (APE), root of mean square error (RMSE) and visual predict check were used as criterion. The results of Jackknife validation showed that fifteen (9.4%) of the 160 LSS based on regression analysis were not within an APE of 15% by using one concentration-time point. 156 (97.5%), 159 (99.4%) and 160 (100%) of the 160 LSS model were capable of predicting within an APE 15% by using 2, 3, 4 points, separately. Limited sampling strategies have been developed and validated for estimating AUC(0-24 h) of amlodipine. The present study indicated that the implemention of both 5 mg and 10 mg dosage could enable accurate predictions of AUC(0-24 h) by the same LSS model. This study shows that 12, 4, 24, 2 h after administration are key sampling time points. The combination of (12, 4), (12, 4, 24) or (12, 4, 24, 2 h) might be chosen as sampling hours for predicting AUC(0-24 h) in practical application according to requirement.
