Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2015;22(2):184-186
Objective To observe the clinical effect of hyaluronic acid on conception rate of ectopic pregnancy patients who received conservative tubal operation under laparoscopy.Methods 100 patients with ectopic pregnancy received conservative tubal operation under laparoscopy treatment were selected.Hyaluronic acid was used in 50 cases (the treatment group),unused anti blocking preparations for the control group in 50 cases.Then patients were followed up on the tubal patency,and observed pregnancy after 1 year.Results The rate of tubal patency after menstrual clean was 84% in the treatment group,which was significantly higher than 60% in the control group(x2 =7.155,P < 0.05).In the treatment group,40 cases were intrauterine pregnancy,4 cases were ectopic pregnancy,6 cases were infertility.The rate of intrauterine pregnancy after 1 year was 80% in the treatment group,which was significantly higher than 56% in the control group(x2 =6.65,P < 0.05).Conclusion Hyaluronic acid is effective in preventing tubal adhesion in the ectopic pregnancy patients who received laparoscopic conservative surgery,and can improve the postoperative tubal patency rate and conception rate.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) and conventional-transbronchial needle aspiration (C-TBNA) in mediastinal and lung hilar lesions. Method 301 cases of lung hilar and mediastinal lesions were selected from 2010 to 2016. Among them, 183 cases underwent TBNA, and the other 118 cases received EBUS-TBNA technology. During the research, the associations of diagnostic positive rate and complications were analyzed in order to explore the advantage and the value of EBUS-TBNA. Results The positive rates of EBUS-TBNA in central groups (2R, 4L, 4R, 7) were higher than in the peripheral groups (10R, 10L, 11R, 11L) (P < 0.05). When studying the lymph node group 2R, 4R and 7R, the positive rate of EBUS-TBNA is much more significant than conventional TBNA (P < 0.05); When biopsying at the lymph node group R4 and group 7, one needle positive rate of EBUS-TBNA were much more superior than TBNA (P < 0.05), the three needles cumulative positive rate of EBUS-TBNA almost reach the total positive rate(P > 0.05), an approving effect of puncture can be acquired; The accuracy and sensitivity of EBUS-TBNA in the diagnosis of lung hilar and mediastinal lesions were much better than conventional TBNA (P < 0.05), especially the diagnostic positive rate of EBUS-TBNA in benign diseases was higher (P < 0.05); The complications rates in both two technologies were not significantly different (P > 0.05), there were no severe complications during the operations in all cases. Conclusion EBUS-TBNA is useful in diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lesions of unknown reason, and significant in diagnosis of bronchial and extrabronchial diseases. It is an efficiency and safe operation while further application studies are needed.

Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the mechanism underlying docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-induced regulation of angiopoietin expression and Src-suppressed C kinase substrate (SSeCKS) in human brain vascular pericytes (HBVPs) subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and restoration (OGD/R).Methods HBVPs were seeded in 96-well or in 6-well plates at a density of 2× 105 cells/ml and divided into 5 groups (n =18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),OGD/R group,DHA group (group D),SSeCKS gene silencing group (group S) and SSeCKS gene silencing plus DHA group (group SD).The model of OGD/R injury was established as follows:the cells were subjected to O2-glucose deprivation for 24 h in glucose-and serum-free culture medium aerated with 94% N2-5% CO2-1% O2 followed by restoration of O2-glucose supply for 6 h in high-glucose DMEM culture medium in normal atmosphere.DHA was added at 1 h before hypoxia with the final concentration of 40 μmol/L in group D.Small interfering RNA induced SSeCKS gene silencing in S and SD groups.Subsequently,DHA with the final concentration of 40 μmol/L was added at 1 h before hypoxia in group SD.At 6 h of reoxygenation,the cell survival rate was determined by CCK-8 assay,the amount of LDH released was detected using ELISA,and the expression of SSeCKS,angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and Ang-2 was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the cell survival rate was significantly decreased,the amount of LDH released was increased,the expression of SSeCKS and Ang-1 was down-regulated,the expression of Ang-2 was up-regulated,and Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio was decreased in group OGD/R,and the expression of SSeCKS was down-regulated in group S (P<0.05).Compared with group OGD/R,the cell survival rate was significantly increased,the amount of LDH released was decreased,the expression of SSeCKS and Ang-1 was up-regulated,the expression of Ang-2 was down-regulated,and Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio was increased in group D (P<O.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group SD (P>0.05).Compared with group D,the cell survival rate was significantly decreased,the amount of LDH released was increased,the expression of SSeCKS and Ang-1 was down-regulated,the expression of Ang-2 was up-regulated,and Ang-1/Ang-2 ratio was decreased in group SD (P<0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which DHA increases the ratio of Ang-1/Ang-2 may be totally related to up-regulation of SSeCKS expression in HBVPs subjected to OGD/R.

Objective To evaluate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) on the expression of angiotensin?2 ( Ang?2) and vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in rat brain microvascular endo?thelial cells (BMVECs) subjected to oxygen?glucose deprivation (OGD). Methods Primarily cultured rat BMVECs were divided into 3 groups ( n=18 each) using a random number table: control group ( group C) , OGD group and DHA group. The cells were cultured with glucose?free and serum?free DMEM culture medium in OGD and DHA groups. In group DHA, DHA 40μmol was added, and then the cells were ex?posed to 1%O2?5%CO2?94%N2 in an air?tight incubator. The cells were cultured in the normal glucose and normal oxygen conditions in group C. All the cells were cultured for 24 h. Cell apoptosis was detected using Annexin V∕propidium iodide flow cytometry assay, and the apoptosis rate was calculated. The concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, prostaglandin E2 ( PGE2 ) and prostacyclin ( PGI2 ) in the supernatant of the cul?ture medium were determined by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. The expression of Ang?2 mRNA and VEGF mRNA in cells was detected by real?time polymerase chain reaction. The expression of cyclooxygen?ase?2 ( COX?2) protein in cells was detected by Western blot. Results Compared with group C, the ap?
optosis rate and concentrations of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly in?creased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly up?regu?lated in OGD and DHA groups (P<0.05). Compared with group OGD, the apoptosis rate and concentra?tions of Ang?2, VEGF, PGE2 and PGI2 in the supernatant were significantly decreased, and the expression of Ang?2 mRNA, VEGF mRNA and COX?2 protein was significantly down?regulated in group DHA ( P<0.05) . Conclusion DHA can inhibit the expression of Ang?2 and VEGF in rat brain BMVECs subjected to OGD and reduce cell apoptosis, and down?regulated expression of COX?2 protein is involved in the mecha?nism.
