Mice, were each infected with 48-52 different geographic Schisto-soma japonicum cercariae of Zhejiang Hangzhou, Jiangsu Wuxi,Anhui Guchi,Jiangxi Nanchang,Hubei Hanyang , Hunan Yueyang & Yunnan Dali. 32-35 d after infection, the mice were treated orally with praziquantel at a single dose of 400 mg/kg. The worm reduction rates of each geographic S. japonicum were compared with that of Anhui Guchi schistosomes which was known to be more sensitive to praziquantel. The results showed that the worm reduction rate of Yunnan Dali schistosomes was 35.1%, which was much less than 75.4% of Anhui Guchi schistosomes. No apparent difference in susceptibility of other 5 geographic schistosomes to praziquantel was observed as comparing with Anhui Guchi schistosomes.When mice infected with Yunnan or Anhui schistosomes for 5 weeks were treated orally with praziquantel at a single dose of 300 mg/kg. the drug-induced hepatic shift rate of the worms and morphological changes of the worms were more or less similar in both geographic schistosomes within 28 d after medication. It was considered that less effect of praziquanfel on Yunnan Dali schistosomes may be ascribed to less susceptibility of the worms to the drug.

This study was designed following eyeball extirpation to evaluate the therapeutic effects of hydroxyapatite and to explore the causes and preventing from exposure during orbital implantation. A total of 23 cases with autologou sclera and muscular suture selected from Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College between January 2005 and December 2007 were retrospectively summarized and analyzed. Seventeen cases were implanted initially and the other 6 cases received secondary implantation. For the implantation with scleral-wrap, a 360? peritomy, limbic sclerotomy and full keratectomy were performed with corneoscleral scissors. Uveal tissue was completely removed. Posterior sclera was radially incised, and the hydroxyapatite orbital implant was implanted. Anterior sclera was sutured completely. Other implantations without using sclera-wrap were performed with the hydroxyapatite orbital implant in muscle cone and four rectal muscles were sutured to the hole of the hydroxyapatite orbital implant. Mattress suture of fascia tissue with double staggered position was performed in all the implantations. Conjunctiva was sutured discontinuously. This implant provided satisfactory functional motility and stability. Two cases developed implant exposure, suggesting that hydroxyapatite was the implant of choice for cosmesis following surgical removal of the eyeball, or enucleation. The complication rate is low and implant exposure, if it occurs, can be easily managed.

Objective To explore the characteristic and clinical value of Somatosensory Evoked Potential SEP and event?related potential P300 in patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME), trying to provide neuroelectrophysiological evidence for the pathogenesis, diagnosis and antiepileptic drug efficacy of this disease . Methods 28 patients with JME and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the research. They were applied the SEP and P300 before and after one year treatment. Results (1) The amplitude of SEP in patients with JME was significantly higher than those in the control group(P=0.000), the abnormal rate was 75%(21/28), while the latency of SEP was no significant difference (P>0.05); The latency of P300 in patients with JME was significantly longer (P = 0.000), 2 out of 28 cases were poorly differentiated, 9 cases were longer (11/28, 39%), while the P300 amplitude was no significant difference(P=0.110). (2) After treatment, the amplitude of SEP was significantly lower (P<0.05), the latency of P300 was significantly shorter (P=0.001). (3) The amplitude of SEP had a positively linear relationship with the latency of P300 (r = 0.818, P = 0.000). Conclusions The SEP amplitude was significantly higher in patients with JME, often accompanied by a huge SEP, so SEP can provide electrophysiological evidence for the pathogenesis and diagnosis of this disease.And P300 may give a chance to find the subclinical cognitive abnormalities and to intervent it early. The SEP had a positively linear relationship with the P300, simultaneously dynamic monitoring the change of SEP amplitude and P300 latency may become an objective evaluation for the antiepileptic drug efficacy.

Objective To evaluate the MRI value in changes of mid-urethral ligament injury offemale stress urinary incontinence (SUI).MethodsComparison of MRI changes of mid-urethral ligament on 30 healthy female volunteers and 20 female SUI patients.Chi-square test was used to compare the form of SUI patient's mid-urethral support ligaments Results The female nid-urethral support ligaments were composed of 4 groups of ligaments,including the periurethral ligament and pubourethral ligaments (1 pair),and at both sides of the urethra's paraurethral ligaments (1 pair) and suburethral ligament lying dorsal urethra,connecting the urethra and pelvic arcus tendinous fasciae.In normal MRI,ligament was a thin strip and showed low signal on both T1WI and T2WI,T2WI sagittal and cross-section scan was the best combination to show the middle urethral support ligaments changes,with tension;6 patients (20％) in the 30 patients normal control group could be seen tortuously and slack like around the urethra ligaments.Twenty SUI patients mid-urethral support ligaments were performance laxity or rupture,rates were 39％ (47/120) and 42％ (50/120) (x2 =43.191,P ＜ 0.05 ).On T2WI,the ligamentous laxity was floating,and losstension,also could performance one side extension and thinner than the other side.The ligament rupture was performance of the signal interruption,ligament contracture and one end of liganent attachment points separation.ConclusionMRIcanobjectiveeffectiveevaluatethemid-urethralsupportligaments' pathological changes in stress urinary incontinence patients.

ObjectiveTo discuss the diagnostic value of MRI in female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods All SUI patients underwent pelvic MRI examination.The 16 patients mean age was 58 years (range,48 -66 years),disease course was 6 years (range,2 -15 years).All patients underwent transobturator tension-free tape (TOT) procedures.The 28 volunteers with no pelvic diseases were set as control,Mean age was 45 years (range,30 -55 years).Results28 Volunteers' urethral support ligaments appeared as low signal intensity broad linear structures in both T1 WI and T2WI images.Display rate:periurethral ligament was 89％ (25 cases) ; paraurethral ligament was 75％ (21 cases),unilateral 25％ (7 cases) ; pubourethral ligament,in each distal 100％ (near,28 cases),10％(medium,3 cases),7％ (distal,2 cases); suburethral ligament was 100％(28 cases). Levator ani muscle in T1WI,T2WI showed Moderate- intensity signal and the display rate was 100％.16 SUI patients showed varyious degrees of laxity and rupture of urethral supporting ligaments which occurred in one group (4 cases) or multi-group (12 cases) ligaments.The ligament laxity showed that periurethral ligament 14 cases,paraurethral ligament 2 cases and proximal pubourethral ligament 10 cases.The ligament rupture was seen in periurethral ligament 2 cases,paraurethral ligament 5 cases,pubourethral ligament 6 cases and suburethral ligament 7 cases.16 patients showed a relaxation of the levator ani muscle changes,including 4 cases with cervical and vaginal wall prolapsed.Conclusions MRI could clearly show the weak of support structures around the urethra in female SUI patients,and showed the cervical and vaginal prolapsed.Therefore,MRI may provide imaging evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

AIM To investigate the effects of melatonin on rats colitis induced by acetic acid and its mechanism. METHODS The rats colitis model was produced by acetic acid enemas. The experimental animals was divided into 6 groups: normal group,model group,5 ASA group(100 mg?kg -1 ),MT group(2 5,5 0,10 0 mg?kg -1 ), and treated intracolonic with saline,5 ASA and MT correspondingly (1 time per day, from the 24 h after the establishment of colitis model to the end of the experiment). At the end of the experiment, the mucosal damage index(CMDI),the level of myeloperoxidase(MPO), the score of histology(HS) in rats colon and the occult blood test(OB) in feces were observed and measured, meanwhile, the content of malondiadehyde(MDA), glutathione peroxidase(GSH Px),catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase(SOD), nitric oxide(NO) in rats colon were detected. RESULTS After being treated with acetic acid, the exetent of OB, CMDI, HS and the level of MPO in model group were more higher than that in normal group, MT(2 5,5 0,10 0 mg?kg -1 ) ameliorated the exetent of CMDI and OB and reduced the level of MPO, MT(10 0 mg?kg -1 ) alleviated the HS of rats in model group. Meanwhile in model group, the content of MDA,NO in colon elevated, but the content of GSH Px,SOD and CAT in colon reduced remarkably. MT intracolon depressed the content of MDA,NO in colon, promote the contents of GSH Px?SOD and CAT in colon. CONCLUSION Treatment with MT shows beneficial effects on the mucosal damage of rats colitis induced by acetic acid.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence and influencing factors of perioperative complications after robotic gynecologic surgery.Methods:The clinical data and occurrence of perioperative complications in 1 000 cases robotic surgery completed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:(1) Clinical data: the average age of the patients was (50.2±10.4) years old, and the average body mass index (BMI) was (24.4±3.6) kg/m 2. Among 1 000 cases, 811 cases of them were malignant tumors, including 405 cases of cervical cancer, 279 cases of endometrial carcinoma, 112 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), 15 cases of vulvar cancer; 189 cases of them were benign diseases, including 43 cases of uterine prolapse, 57 cases hysterectomy of uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis of the uterus ≥12 weeks, 84 cases myomectomy of uterine leiomyoma, and 5 cases of fallopian tubal ligation requiring anastomosis. Surgical methods: in patients with malignant tumors, cervical cancer, hysterectomy plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy for stage Ⅰa1, and radical hysterectomy plus pelvic lymphatic dissection plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy for stage Ⅰa2-Ⅱb. Endometrial carcinoma, performed by staging surgery. Staging surgery for EOC with early stage and cytoreductive surgery with advanced EOC. Vulvar cancer, extensive vulvar resection plus inguinal lymphadenectomy. In patients with benign diseases, uterine prolapse, hysterectomy plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy plus sacrocolpopexy. Uterine leiomyoma or adenomyosis with uterus ≥ 12 weeks, hysterectomy plus salpingectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy. Myomectomy for patients requiring uterine preservation with uterine leiomyoma. Tubal anastomosis for patients with fallopian tubal ligation. (2) Surgical complications: intraoperative complications occurred in 25 patients (2.5%, 25/1 000), including 11 patients with vascular laceration, 11 patients with ureteral injury, 2 patients with bladder injury, and 1 patient with intestinal injury. Postoperative complications occurred in 130 patients (13.0%, 130/1 000), including 66 cases of lower limb venous thrombosis, 20 cases of lymphatic cyst, 8 cases of hydronephrosis, 9 cases of ileus, 16 cases with infection, 6 cases with genital fistula, 4 cases with trocar site herniation and 1 case with subcutaneous emphysema. The incidence of intraoperative complications was 3.1% (25/811) in malignant tumors and no case in benign diseases, the incidence rate in malignant tumors was significantly higher than that in benign diseases ( χ2=4.778, P=0.029). The incidence rate in cervical cancer (4.2%, 17/405) and EOC (3.6%, 4/112) were significantly higher than those in endometrial carcinoma (1.4%, 4/279) and vulvar cancer (0/15; P<0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications was 15.2% (123/811) in malignant tumors and 3.7% (7/189) in benign diseases. The incidence rate in malignant tumors was significantly higher than that in benign diseases ( χ2=17.807, P<0.01), but there were no significant difference among different malignant tumors ( χ2=4.318, P=0.229). (3) The correlative factors affecting the occurrence of surgical complications: patient′s age, BMI, previous pelvic or abdominal surgery history, the nature of disease (malignant or benign), operation time, and comorbidities had a significant impact on the incidence of postoperative complications ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the patient′s age ≥40 years old, BMI ≥25 kg/m 2, previous pelvic or abdominal surgery history, malignant tumors and comorbidities were independent influential factors of the postoperative complications ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Perioperative complications vary according to the type of the surgery. The age, BMI, previous pelvic or abdominal surgery history, malignant tumors, and comorbidities are influential factors of postoperative complications.

Objective To explore the correlation between TOP2A gene expression and TCM constitutional types of patients with triple-negative breast cancer.Methods The questionnaire for constitution of Chinese medicine was used to identify the TCM constitutional types of 71 patients with triple-negative breast cancer and TOP2A gene alterations were quantified by real-time PCR. 2-ΔΔCt was used to analyze the expressions of each group. SPSS17.0 was employed to analyze the correlation between TOP2A gene amplification and TCM constitutional types.Results Totally 71 patients were divided into general type (0 case), Qi deficiency type (18 cases), Yang deficiency type (10 cases), Yin deficiency type (12 cases), Qi stagnancy type (7 cases), blood stasis type (10 cases), phlegm wet calculus type (8 cases), damp-heat type (6 cases), and special type (0 case). All of them were biased constitutional types, of which Qi deficiency constitution (25.35%), Yin deficiency constitution (16.90%), blood stasis constitution (14.08%) took the majority. TOP2A gene amplification was negative correlated with each constitutional type (P<0.05).Conclusion Biased constitutional types were the main types of TCM constitutional type of patients with triple-negative breast cancer. The main three biased constitutional types of triple-negative breast cancer were Qi deficiency constitution, Yin deficiency constitution and blood stasis constitution. TOP2A gene expression in patients with triple-negative breast cancer was normal or less expressed, which predicted low chemotherapy sensitivity and poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the factors influencing the related changes in cognitive ability.Methods Seventy-five subjects with mild cognitive impairment (the MCI group),32 with Alzheimer's disease (the AD group) and 17 others with normal cognition (the NC group) were recruited.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) and the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) were used to assess their cognitive ability.At the same time,relevant clinical information such as their general condition and past history of disease were recorded.The subjects were followed up for 20 months on average to evaluate their annual rates of progression (APRs),and logistic regression was used to highlight any influencing factors.Results By the end of the follow-up,9 of the 75 MCI subjects had progressed to AD,with an APR of 5.25％.Thirteen cases had recovered normal cognitive functioning (97.6 per 1,000 person-years).Also,2 cases in the NC group (11.76％) developed MCI (69.1 per 1,000 person-years),but none of them had yet progressed to AD.Both hyperlipidemia and a body mass index (BMI) lower than 24 kg/m2 significantly predicted the deterioration of cognitive functioning.Heart disease was significantly correlated with cognitive improvement,and selfmanagement of cognitive function was also a significant protective factor.Conclusions Patients with MCI are at greater risk of developing AD than normal persons.Prevention and early treatment of hyperlipidemia as well as maintaining a normal BMI may delay the deterioration of cognitive functioning.Self-management of cognitive function can improve cognition.
