Objective To assess the effects of aspirin on the proliferation and apoptosis of human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells.Methods MTT assay was used to measure the effects of aspirin on the proliferation of Ishikawa cell.Flow cytometry(FCM) was employed to examine the distribution of cell cycles and the rates of apoptosis.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe cell morphologic changes after aspirin administration.Results Aspirin inhibited the proliferation of cultured Ishikawa cells in a time-dependent and dose dependent manner(P<0.05).Aspirin increased the distribution of G,stage and the rates of cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05).Morphologic features of apoptosis cells,including cell shrinkage,nuclear condensation and apoptotic bodies could be found obviouslyunder the transmission electron microscopy.Conclusion Aspirin inhibited the proliferation and increased the apoptosis of human endometrial adenocarcinoma Ishikawa cells.

Objective To analyze the effect and mechanism of trichostatin A（TSA）on cell cycle in human ovarian cancer cells.Methods Human ovarian cancer cell line A2780 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplement.Flow cytometry analysis and RT-PCR were used to examine the distribution of cell cycles and the level of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA.Results TSA induced increase of G2/M cells increased after the treatment of TSA for 36 hours（P 0.05）;the level of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA expression was upregulated after TSA treatment for 12 hours,the highest leve of its expression occurred at 24 hours,the expression level begun to decrease at 48 hours（P 0.05）.TSA simultaneously induced the decrease of S phase cells in a concentration-dependent manne（rP 0.05）.TSA upregulated the expression of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA in a concentration-dependent manner（P 0.05）.Conclusion TSA could block the G2/M phase and inhibits cell proliferation of A2780 cells through upregulating the expression of p21WAF/CIPI mRNA and the activate cyclin-dependent kinase.

Objective: To investigate the roles of Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in the development and progression of endometrial carcinoma, and to explore their correlation.Methods: The expression of Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in 32 cases of endometrial carci-noma, 12 cases of endometrial atypical hyperplasia, 6 cases of endometrial simple hyperplasia and 10 cases of normal en-dometrial tissues were examined by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Results: The expression of Bcl-xl mRNA and protein was significantly higher in endometrial cancer tissues than in normal endometrial tissues (P<0.05), and was statistically associat-ed with the pathological stage of endometrial carcinoma.(F=5.33, P=0.02).The expression of Bcl-xs mRNA and protein in atypical endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial carcinoma tissues were significantlly lower than that in normal endometri-al tissues (P<0.05), which was also associated with clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of endometrial carcinoma (P<0.05).The expression of Bcl-xl was negatively correlated with the expression of Bcl-xs in different endometrial tissues (r=-0.76).Conclusion: The abnormal expression of Bcl-xs and Bcl-xl was a factor for the pathogenesis and development of endometrial carcinoma.The negative correlation between Bcl-xl and Bcl-xs in different endometrial tissues as well as their relative expression ratio may have certain impact on the genesis of endornetrial cancer.

Objective To calculate the nonlinear features of motion in patients with chronic vestibular syndrome(CVS)using the largest Lyapunov exponent(LLE),and to verify the classification model's validity through machine learning algorithms.Methods A three-dimensional(3D)motion capture system was used to capture the joint motion trajectories of the subjects,which were determined using the LLE.The features of the chaotic trajectories were calculated as the input,and seven classifiers,namely the ID3 decision tree,Adaboost,C45 decision tree,Bayesian classification,Naive Bayes,and support vector machine,were used for classification.Results A total of 17 sets of trajectories from 16 joints were in the chaotic state,and the average energy,enhanced wavelength,and kurtosis of the motion trajectories in the experimental group showed significant differences(P<0.05).The ID3 decision tree classifier showed optimal performance with 100%prediction accuracy,recall,and F1-score.Conclusions Chaotic features may contain high personality differences in patients with CVS and can improve the accuracy of machine learning algorithms for recognition.These findings provide a reference for early identification and motor rehabilitation of patients with CVS.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnostic criteria and differential diagnosis of placental chorioangioma.

METHODSTwenty-five cases of placental chorioangioma were analyzed for their clinical data, histomorphology and immumohisto chemical staining. Relevant literature was reviewed.

RESULTSThe average age of the 25 patients was 29 years. Fourteen patients had full-term pregnancy, 10 had preterm labor, and 1 had intrauterine fetal death. Nineteen patients had pregnancy complications. The tumors presented as red or dusty pink nodules with clear borders. The tumor size ranged from 1 to 16 cm. Microscopically, the tumors possessed abundant capillaries or cavernous blood spaces lined by hyperplastic endothelial cells. These cells were positive for CD34 and Ki-67 index < 10%.

CONCLUSIONSPlacental chorioangioma is a rare benign tumor of the placenta, and is associated with various pregnancy complications. Misdiagnosis of cell-rich type tumor should be avoided.

Objective:To discuss the diagnostic methods, clinical features and treatment options of bronchogenic cysts.Methods:A total of 86 patients with bronchogenic cysts and 5 patients with esophageal cysts and esophageal cysts were selected from January 2011 to May 2020 in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University. There were 37 males and 49 females with bronchogenic cysts, aged 23 to 70(49.27±10.70)years old. According to the location of the disease, the patients were divided into mediastinal type(65 cases, 75.6%); intrapulmonary type(21 cases, 24.4%); bronchogenic cyst originating from the esophagus(9 cases, 10.5%).Results:The preoperative diagnosis coincidence rate was 9.3% in 8 cases. The rate of thoracoscopic surgery(59.3% in 51 cases), compared with the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube after thoracotomy[(3.80±1.25) days vs.(4.97±1.54)days, P<0.001] and hospital stay[(7.08±1.75) days vs.(9.60±2.58)days, P<0.001] significantly shortened. 65 cases(71.4%, 65/91) were successfully followed up, with a median follow-up time of 34(2-111) months, and no recurrence was found. Conclusion:Bronchial cysts have no characteristic clinical manifestations, and it is difficult to make a clear diagnosis before surgery. Chest MRI has a great advantage in the diagnosis of cysts. For most cases, thoracoscopic surgery can achieve better clinical treatment results and has minimally invasive advantages. It is difficult to distinguish between bronchogenic cysts that originated in the esophagus and esophageal cysts, and there is no significant difference in clinical characteristics.
