Objective To investigate the role of angiogenesis and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the pathophysiology of adenomyosis of the uterus. Methods The study included 32 patients with histologically proven adenomyosis and 30 patients with asymptomatic leiomyoma of the uterus. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect VEGF expression in different parts of the uterus. A computerized morphometric study on the VEGF expression was performed. Results The VEGF H-Score of glandular cells in the endometrium of adenomyosis uterus [proliferative phase (9.6?1.4), secretory phase (11.7?1.6)] was much higher than that of leiomyoma uterus [proliferative phase (8.3?1.7),secretory phase (10.2?1.5)] (P0.05). The VEGF H-Score of myometrium around the ectopic lesions [proliferative phase (9.5?1.3), secretory phase (8.7?1.3)] was higher than that of normal myometrium [proliferative phase (4.8?1.9), secretory phase (4.5?1.4)] (P

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of different sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in repaired meniscus.Methods From September 2002 to December 2008,118 patients (130 menisci) underwent arthroscopic meniscus suture in our hospital,including 94 males and 24 females,aged from 15 to 50 years (average,25.7t7.5 years).All patients underwent MRI and second-look arthroscopy postoperatively.Different sequences of MRI were taken to evaluate the grade of meniscal signal at repaired site and the slices involved by grade 3 signal.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,positive predict value (PPV) and negative predict value (NPV) were calculated for each sequence by using second-look arthroscopy as the gold standard.Results The total healing rate was 80.8％ (105/130) by second-look arthroscopy,which was higher than that by different sequences of MRI.The integrated T2 sequence held the highest diagnostic value,and the sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,PPV and NPV were 76.0％,71.4％,72.3％,38.8％ and 92.6％,respectively.According to the second-look arthroscopy result,the menisci were divided into the healed group and unhealed group.In the healed group,28.6％ of cases (30/105) showed grade 3 signal in MRI,which was less than that (76.0％) in the unhealed group.The rate of the new grade 3 signal (8.6％) and the slices involved by grade 3 signal (0.8±1.0) in the healed group were less than those (16.0％ and 3.0±2.0) in the unhealed group.Conclusion The diagnostic value of the integrated T2 sequence is encouraging with high sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.The new grade 3 signal in the repaired meniscus usually implies that the meniscus is not healed.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of triptorelin in the treatment of uterine leiomyoma. Methods A multi-center, prospective, randomly controlled clinical trial was carried out from Dec. 2002 to Mar. 2004 in three university hospitals. A total of 125 qualified patients with uterine leiomyoma were randomly divided into either triptorelin group (63 cases) treated with 3.75 mg triptorelin injected intramuscularly or leuprorelin group (62 cases) treated with 3.75 mg leuprorelin injected subcutaneously. Both drugs were injected every 28 days for a total of 3 months. Results All 125 patients finished the trial. The uterine volumes were similar before treatment between the triptorelin group and the leuprorelin group and were decreased significantly after drug therapy (P0.05).) The volumes of the largest leiomyoma decreased significantly after drug therapy (P0.05). Patients with serum level of 17?-estradiol 0.05). Dysmenorrhea, noncyclic pelvic pain and pressure-like symptoms were relieved quickly and remarkably in both groups after treatment. The rates of adverse event occurred in 71% of patients in both groups. The main side effects included flare-up effects and hypoestrogenic symptoms. Nine patients in the triptorelin group and 6 in the leuprorelin group received add-back therapy with tibolone 1.25-2.50 mg/d because of remarkable climacteric-like symptoms. Conclusion Treatment of uterine leiomyoma with triptorelin for 3 months is both effective and safe in Chinese women.

Results There are 12 effects of sex in the 15 samples of Reinke's edema of vocal cord mucosal. There are effects of feminine in the 5 samples of common. Conclusion The main etiopathogenisis of Reinke's edema is that blood vessel grew ad libitum, the permeability of blood vessel increase and oxygen lack partly.

OBJECTIVE: To detect potential variant in a male neonate affected with congenital nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (CNDI). METHODS: Clinical data of the patient was collected. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the child and his parents. The whole coding regions of the arginine vasopressin V2 receptor (AVPR2) gene were amplified by PCR and subjected to Sanger sequencing. RESULTS: The patient presented recurrent fever and polyuria after birth. Multiple blood gas analyses indicated hypernatremia. Ultrasound showed bilateral hydronephrosis and hydroureter. The patient was partially responsive to hydrochlorothiazide. DNA analysis identified a hemizygous frameshift variant c.890-899delACCCGGAGGC in exon 2 of the AVPR2 gene in the proband. His mother was heterozygous for the same variant. CONCLUSION The c.890-899delACCCGGAGGC variant of the AVPR2 gene probably underlies the CNDI in the child. Above discovery has enriched to spectrum of CNDI associated variants.

The clinical manifestation, laboratory findings, and imaging examination of a baby with familial glucocorticoid deficiency were summarized. The patient presented achypnea, cyanosis, and pigmentation of the whole body skin, no convulsion and hypoglycemia found. Laboratory findings revealed low blood cortisol and high blood ACTH levels. A 1-bp homozygous deletion(c.106+ 1delG) in intron 3 of melanocortin 2 receptor accessory protein(MRAP) gene in the patient was found. His parents were found to be heterozygous carrier for the same mutation, without any clinical manifestation.

Objective:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of a Chinese baby with perinatal hypophosphatasia (HPP) and his parents for better understanding of the disease.Methods:The clinical data of the patient with HPP was carefully collected. The laboratory and radiographic examination data were taken for this baby patient. Sequencing for all the twelve tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase(ALPL) exons and the flanking exon-intron junctions were performed in the proband and his parents with their genomic DNA from peripheral blood.Results:The blood level of alkaline phosphatase was decreased in this patient while serum calcium level was increased. His bone revealed chondrodysplasia-like change. Compound heterozygous mutations were found in the proband, with c. 346G>A(p.A116T) in exon 5 and c. 1171C>T(p.R391C) in exon 10. His father and mother were without clinical manifestation while respectively carried c. 346G>A(p.A116T and c. 1171C>T(p.R391C) missense mutations, suggesting an autosomal recessive inheritance in this family.Conclusion:Perinatal HPP has a high mortality rate. Skeletal deformities, hypercalcemia, and low level of ALP are important in the differential diagnosis of perinatal HPP.

Objective:To evaluate the incidence of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) among patients of pelvic endometriosis confirmed by pathology and to make analysis of its clinical and pathological characteristics.Methods:From January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, clinical data of 240 cases of pelvic endometriosis diagnosed by laparoscopy and pathology hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital were analyzed retrospectively for the characteristics of symptoms, pelvic examination and anatomic distribution of endometriosis foci.Results:(1) Among 240 cases of pelvic endometriosis, 94 were diagnosed with DIE with an incidence of 39.2% (94/240); of them the diagnosis were made preoperatively in 44 cases (46.8%, 44/94). (2) Compared with those without DIE, patients with DIE had higher rates of secondary dysmenorrhea [53.2% (50/94) versus 38.4% (56/146), P=0.033], anal pain [43.6% (41/94) versus 28.1% (41/146), P=0.013], dyspareunea [39.4% (37/94) versus 18.5% (27/146), P=0.001] and frequent bowel movement [33.0% (31/94) versus 15.8%(23/146), P=0.002]. (3) Patients with DIE had higher rates of bad movement of uterus [21.3% (20/94) versus 6.8% (10/146), P=0.001], painful nodularity on uterosacral ligaments [26.6% (25/94) versus 6.2% (9/146), P<0.01], painful nodularity of posterior fornix [19.1% (18/94) versus 4.8% (7/146), P<0.01], blue nodule in vaginal wall [6.4% (6/94) versus 0 (0/146), P=0.003] by pelvic examination compared with those without DIE. (4) Ninety-four patients with DIE had a total of 162 nodules, of those 88 (54.3%, 88/162) located in uterosacral ligaments, 14 (8.6%, 14/162) in the rectum, 7 (4.3%, 7/162) in vaginal wall, 6 (3.7%, 6/162) in ureter, 4 in bladder (2.5%, 4/162), 2 (1.2%, 2/162) in Douglas pouch. Forty-three DIE patients (45.7%, 43/94) had more than one nodules. Patients with DIE had concomitant ovarian endometriosis in 69 cases (73.4%, 69/94), with a total of 103 endometrial cysts. (5) Patients with DIE had a higher rate of obliterated Douglas pouch [76.6% (72/94) versus 19.2% (28/146), P<0.01]. Conclusions:More than one third of patients with pelvic endometriosis have concomitant DIE with a lower rate of preoperative diagnosis. Pelvic pains, bad movement of uterus and painful nodulirity around cervix suggest the presence of DIE.

Objective To explore the effects of rapid response first-aid case on bedside emergency gastroscopy hemostatic treatment. Methods A total of 52 patients with esophageal-fundal varices in liver cirrhosis from January 2014 to June 2015 were divided into control group (n=25) and experimental group (n=27). The patients of control group received the routine nursing; then we summarized the experience and mistakes of operation cooperation, optimized process;next we designed rapid response first-aid case and used in the experimental group. The blood transfusion time, goods preparation time, blood loss, blood transfusion volume were compared in two groups. Results The data of the experimental group in average bleeding to transfusion time (90. 22 ± 36. 47)min, materials preparation time (14. 66 ± 3. 48) min, the average amount of bleeding (369. 62 ± 158. 90) ml, average blood transfusion amount (322. 40 ± 117. 82) ml were lower than those of the control group [ average bleeding to blood transfusion time ( 123. 60 ± 51. 87 ) min, materials preparation time ( 22. 44 ± 2. 59 ) min, average bleeding volume ( 660. 20 ± 181. 82 ) ml, average blood transfusionamount(458.00±140.63)ml](P<0.05).Conclusions Theimplementationofrapidresponse first-aid case can effectively shorten the rescue time, reduce bleeding and blood transfusion time, the blood loss, the wastage of human resources and medical resources, improve the efficiency of nursing work in the department and the success rate of rescue.
