OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of low-molecular-weight-heparin-sodium combined with dy-drogesterone in the treatment of threatened abortion. METHODS:Medical information of 72 patients with threatened abortion were analyzed retrospectively and divided into control group(36 cases)and observation group(36 cases). Control group was given Dy-drogesterone tablet with initial dose of 40 mg,one day later every 12 h 10 mg/time. Observation group was additionally given ab-dominal subcutaneous injection of Low-molecular-weight-heparin-sodium injection 5000 U,once a day,on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for a week. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed,and lumbar acid,vaginal bleeding,ab-dominal pain time,total treatment time,neonatal birth weight were also observed. The levels of hs-CRP,fibrinogen,D-dimer and platelet,the occurrence of ADR were observed before and after treatment. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(91.7%vs. 80.6%),the backache,vaginal bleeding,abdominal pain time and to-tal treatment time of observation group were significantly shorter than those of control group,the neonatal birth weight and gesta-tional age of observation group were significantly more than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of hs-CRP,fibrinogen,D-dimer and platelet between 2 group(P>0.05);after treatment,the levels of hs-CRP,fibrinogen,D-dimer and platelet in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,low-molecu-lar-weight-heparin-sodium combined with dydrogesterone shows good therapeutic efficacy and safety for threatened abortion.

Tunneling nanotubes(TNT) are cellular communication and transport mechanism discovered recently. TNTs play important role in immunological response and viral spread, also may involve embryonic development, regulation of gene expression and carcinogenesis. However, it was not easy to study TNT for clinical samples since intricate assay method for TNT. We suggested using histochemical assay PAS staining in cell drip to show TNT in leukemia and lymphoma samples.

BACKGROUND: Ureaplasma urealyticum may cause female genital tracts infection and lead sterility, infertility and spontaneous abortion. But it still is not clear whether Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the factors responsible for fetal malformation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether Ureaplasma urealyticum is one of the key factor responsible for fetal malformation.DESIGN: Non-randomized observation of compromised children and their parents with concurrent control.SETTING: The department of immunology and microbiology of a medical college.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 16 malformed fetuses(3 female and 13 male cases) and their parents were chosen from the family seeking pregnancy care in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College and Luzhou First People's Hospital from 1995 to 1997.METHODS: Ureaplasma urealyticum detection was performed in 16 samples of the umbilic blood of the malformed fetuses, sperms of the father, and cervical mucus of the mother who conceived the malformed fetus. The 11 couples positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum were treated with macrolides and aminoglycoside antibiotics and followed up for the outcome of the following pregnancy.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The relation between Ureaplasma urealyticum infection and fetal malformation was examined.RESULTS: Totally 11 of the 16 umbilical blood samples(69% ) were positive for Ureaplasma urealyticum, and serological tests of parents in the 11 positive cases detected rubella virus, cytomegalovirus or Toxoplasma gondii antibodies, nor was abnormality found in chromosomal examination. The following pregnancies and delivery were followed up in 4 women, and the babies showed no functional or organic abnormities with good development till the age of 2 years.CONCLUSION: Female genital tract Ureaplasma urealyticum infection is related to fetal malformation, which provides evidence to support interventions of the occurrence of fetal malformation.

Objective To establish a guinea pig model for diagnostic reagent of tuberculosis.Methods By single or multiple subcutaneous injection of heat-killed H37 Rv in different doses in the groin of guinea pigs to establish a model of positive response to 0.1 mL (5 IU) standard tuberculin ( TB-PPD) skin test.Results Three doses of heat-killed H37 Rv ( 0.2 mg/mL, 0.3 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL ) could be used to generate the model of biological diagnosis of tuberculosis.After 24 and 48 hours, the diameter of red spot by TB-PPD skin test was 15.4 ±2.3 mm when a dose of 0.2 mg/mL heat-killed H37 Rv was administered for immunizing and allergizing the guinea pigs.The biggest red spot was induced at doses of 0.3 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL.The test results showed that the immune response induced by multiple njection to immunizing and allergizing guinea pigs was not significantly different than that induced by single immunizing injection, and the first skin test was better than the second, third and fourth skin test (P≤0.05).In addition, the body weight of the guinea pigs was still increasing after infection with heat-killed H37 Rv, and ulcers occurred in the injection sites in some guinea pigs.Conclusions A single subcutaneous injection of 0.2 mg/mL heat-killed H37 Rv in guinea pigs can be used well to establish a reliable model for biological diagnostic reagent of tuberculosis.Increasing the sensitizing dose and multiple sensitization can not increase the intensity of the delayed-type hypersensitivity ( DTH) response.
