Objective To approach the feasibility of the development and routinely carrying out of gynecological analgesia. Methods A total of 286 pregnant women, 58 were primiparae with full-term fetus and 228 were for mid-term delivery or induced abortion, were enrolled in present study. The combined lumbar-epidural analgesia (CLEA) and the patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) were given to the primiparae and the ones for mid-term delivery, and the intravenous anesthesia was given to those for induced abortion. Results Among the primiparae and the ones for mid-term delivery, VAS scores were rapidly reduced from 87.7?12.5 and 51.1?14.1 to 8.7?8.8 and 10.6?6.2, respectively, within 3 minutes by CLEA, the effective rates of analgesia were 94% and 100%, respectively. For all of them the Bromage evaluation was in 0 degree. After the induction of labor, no algesia memory existed in the women for induced abortion, the operative time was 15.28?2.57 minutes, the dosage of propoful was 162.9?39.8 mg (about 3mg/kg), and the dosage of fentanyl was 0.05 mg. The incidence of hypotension after intravenous anesthesia was 5.8%. Conclusions Intravenous anesthesia with propoful may remit the panic and fearful sense of pregnant women to induced abortion, and reduce the pain during operation. It is suggested to develop widely and carry out routinely the intravenous anesthesia as an effective and safe technique in gynecological analgesia.

Purpose To investigate the diagnosis and differentail diagnosis of metastatic small cell carcinoma of bone in needle biopsy, especially for the differentail diagnosis with Ewing sarcoma of bone. Methods Clinicopathological informations of 11 cases of metastat-ic small cell carcinoma and 20 cases of Ewing sarcoma were collected, and markers for differentail diagnosis were detected in two groups by immunohistochemistry of EnVision. Results The positive rates of CD99 and FLI-1 were 27. 3% and 54. 5% in metastatic small cell carcinoma group, while the positive rate of CK was 15. 0% in Ewing sarcoma group. Patient′s age, single lesion, expression of CK, vimentin, CD99, FLI-1, CD56 were significantly different in two groups. Conclusions Metastatic small cell carcinoma and E-wing sarcoma share similar histopathologic features in needle biopsy, no single immunohistochemical marker can specifically distinguish small cell carcinoma from Ewing sarcouma. The correct diagnosis should comprehensive analyze clinicopathologic characters and a se-ries of immunohistochemical markers.
