Objective To observe the cervical regeneration outcome after different loop electrosurgical excision procedures(LEEP) for the management of cervical lesions.Methods A total of 209 patients with cervical lesions including cervical epithelial neoplasia,cervical HPV infection,cervical polyp and condyloma,and severe cervicitis were performed LEEP in our hospital.The types of LEEP included shallow ring excision,deep ring excision,LEEP conization,and that similar to cold-knife conization.The width and depth of removed cervical tissues were recorded,and the cervical regeneration was observed during the follow-up. Results Among the 209 cases,179(85.6%) were satisfactory cervical regeneration,24(11.5%) were little satisfactory cervical regeneration,and 6(2.9%) were unsatisfactory cervical regeneration.Shallow ring excision,deep ring excision and cone excision had higher satisfactory situation.Extroversion of cervical columnar epithelium was observed in 15 cases(7.2%) in little satisfactory cervical regeneration.Severe extroversion of cervical columnar epithelium of 3 cases occurred in unsatisfactory cervical regeneration.Besides,there were 2 case of cervical shortening and 1 case of severe erythema in unsatisfactory cervical regenerations. Conclusion Although having such complications as extroversion of cervical columnar epithelium,cervical shortening and erythema,LEEP performs a high satisfactory cervical regeneration after management of cervical lesions.It is in great need to analyze the condition of different patients in managing cervical lesions by LEEP.

Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;32(6):1055-1058
Objective To observe the effect of blood-cooling and blood-stasis-removing Decoction on anti-double-strain DNA ( anti-dsDNA) antibody, anti-nucleosome antibody ( AnuA) and serum levels of interleukin ( IL) -6, 17, 21 in spontaneous systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE) MRL/lpr experimental rats. Methods The experimental rats were divided into blank control group, model group, and high- and low- dose Chinese medicine groups ( 25.2, 12.6 g/kg respectively) , the treatment lasting 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, the blood taken from the orbital veins was separated for obtaining serum, and then the serum anti-dsDNA antibody, AnuA, IL-6,17,21 levels were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA). Results The serum autoantibody and IL-6, 17, 21 levels of rats in the model group were increased significantly as compared with the blank control group ( P<0.01). The serum antibody and cytokine levels of Chinese medicine groups were reduced as compared with the model group, the difference between high-dose Chinese medicine group and model group being significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion Blood-cooling and blood-stasis-removing Decoction has certain effect on reducing the serum levels of anti-dsDNA antibody, AnuA, and IL-6,17,21, which may coniribute to one of its therapeutic mechanisms for SLE.
