BACKGROUND:Pathogenesis of endometriosis involves many factors that ultimately lead to the emergence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress in the theory of endometrial stem cel s, and to provide suggestions for the pathogenesis and treatment of endometriosis. METHODS:VIP database and PubMed database were retrieved for articles addressing endometriosis stem cel theory, including original research, experimental analysis, case analysis and review, published from January 2005 to October 2015. Keywords wereendometriosis, stem cel sin Chinese and English, respectively. After removal of repetitive articles, 48 articles were included for final analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Endometrial stem/progenitor cel s may exist in the endometrium, and these cel s and bone marrow stem cel s are speculated to be involved in the occurrence of endometriosis. Therefore, treatment of endometriosis is targeted to endometrial stem/progenitor cel s and abnormal regulation on signal transduction pathway, which provides new insight into the mechanism of action and treatment of endometriosis.

In order to investigate the feasibility of serum creatine kinase (CK) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) in monitoring pre-competition training of badminton athletes, the pre-competition training load of 20 badminton athletes was studied, and serum CK and BUN were determined before, immediate and next morning after training. The results showed that after intensive training for one week, serum CK levels were significantly increased by 57.53 mmol/L (P<0.05). After regulation of the training intensity, average serum CK levels were increased by 21.79 mmol/L (P<0.05). BUN contents were increased by 0.83 mmol/L on average with the difference being not significant (P>0.05). After intermittent training, there was significant difference in the average increased levels of serum CK in athletes (P<0.05). There was significant difference before and after regulation of training (P<0.05). The increased levels of BUN were 0.78 mmol/L without significant difference (P>0.05). It was concluded that serum CK was one of the biochemical indicators monitoring the training load sensitivity of badminton athletes, but BUN was of little value in monitoring the training load. Both serum CK and BUN recovered slowly after one-week intensive training and intermittent training, suggesting the metabolic mechanism of human body in training needs further study.

Objective To explore the value of T wave alternans (TWA) in prediction ventricular arrhythmias in post-op TOF children. Methods The characteristics of TWA were retrospectively analyzed in 36 post-op TOF patients and 120 age-matched normal children. The relationship of sustained TWA and ventricular arrhythmias was also analysed. Results Compared with normal children, the incidence of sustained TWA was significantly increased in post-op TOF group (χ2=6.98, P<0.05). In post-op TOF patients, the incidence of ventricular arrhythmia was much higher when sustained TWA was present (χ2=10.41, P<0.05). Conclusions There exists electrophysiological basis for ventricular arrhythmia in post-op TOF children. Sustained TWA has important value in prediction of ventricular arrhythmia of post-op TOF.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) has gene polymorphism (ε2,ε3,and ε4).It has been confirmed that ApoE structural and functional abnormlities are closely associated with the hyperlipidemia,formation of atherosclerosis,and its severity,while both hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis are the risk factors for ischemic stroke.In recent years,although the relationship between the ApoE gene polymorphism and ischemic stroke has been extensively studied,the conclusions are not consistent.This article reviews the correlation studies between the ApoE gene polymorphism and ischernic stroke.

Bronchial asthma is one of the most common children health problems, with still increasing prevalence.Bronchial hyperresponsiveness is a characteristic feature of asthma,and its measurement may provide a useful adjunct in the diagnosis of asthma. Many children with asthma go into long-term clinical remission at adolescence, but bronchial hyperresponsiveness persists in approximately one half of these subjects, so implement the bronchial provocative tests in children with asthma remission may appears very important.
