Objective To evaluate the middle-term effect of laparoscopic uterine artery occlusion combined with ascendant myomectomy (LUAO-M) for multiple uterine myomas. Methods The uterine artery was isolated and occluded with Kleppinger bipolar forceps (Sabre 2400,ASPEN LABS USA) or PK forceps (Gyrus Medical Limited Inc UK) under a laparoscope. Then dissection was performed on the surface of pseudo capsule with Kleppinger unipolar needle (Sabre 2400,ASPEN LABS USA) or PK needle (Gyrus Medical Limited Inc UK),and the target myoma was stripped out of the tumor bed with the Separate-Scoop device. Afterwards,repair of the incision was carried out in one layer with interrupted single stitch by Absorbable VICRYL suture (Johnson VICRYL ETHICON USA). Results The mean operation time was (102?36) min and mean blood loss was (88.7?58.4) ml. The mean hospital stay after the operation was (7.9?0.2) d,and febrile morbidity was 5.1% (5/98). Complications included two cases of subcutaneous emphysema and one case of ileus;no other severe complications occurred. Of the patients,98 cases were followed-up for 21 to 52 months (mean,36.3 months),during the period they were visited by a mean of 3.6 times,which showed a correction rate of menstruation abnormality of 95.9% (4/98),rate of uterine volume reduction of 57.7%,and rate of recurrent myoma of 3.1% (3/98). Conclusion LUAO-M shows a good clinical outcome and middle-term effect for multiple uterine myomas.

We reported a simple and fast fluorescence system based on quantum dots ( QDs ) to detect glutamate dehydrogenase ( GLDH) , which inverted glutamate to α-ketogrutarate using NAD+ as a coenzyme. The fluorescence of CdTe QDs was quenched by nicotinamide adenine dimucleotide ( NAD+) through an electron transfer pathway, and the quencher NAD+ could be consumed by adding NAD+-dependent enzymes and corresponding substrates. Based on this principle we introduced GLDH to consume NAD+ in the QDs/NAD+ system, leading to the enhancement of the fluorescence intensity of QDs, which was in proportional to the amounts of GLDH added. Using this fluorescence system, we measured GLDH in a wide concentration range from 10 U/L to 1000 U/L, which was of significance in clinical diagnosis of different kinds of liver diseases.

BACKGROUND:Cel membrane microparticles CD31 and CD54 lead to microvascular injury in the femoral head by mediating vascular inflammatory response, promoting blood clotting, affecting vasomotion and promoting vascular endothelial injury. Studies have verified that membrane particles play an important role in steroid-induced necrosis of the femoral head, but there is no studies concerning relationship between microparticles and alcohol-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head. METHODS/DESIGN:This is a randomized control ed animal study. Healthy male Wistar rats wil be randomly assigned to two groups. In the model group, rats wil be intragastrical y administered hard liquor for 6 consecutive months to prepare models of alcohol-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Blank controls wil be intragastrical y given an equal volume of physiological saline. In 1-6 months of intervention, six rats wil be randomly selected from each group every month. Blood wil be col ected separately. Flow cytometry wil be used to detect serum cel membrane particles CD31, CD54 levels. Bilateral femoral head wil be fixed, decalcified, embedded in wax, and then sections. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, empty bone lacuna wil be quantified under a light microscope to identify femoral head necrosis. Verhoff’s staining and MSB microthrombosis staining wil be used to observe microvascular injury and microvascular thrombosis in the femoral head, and to analyze the correlation of CD31 and CD54 levels with femoral head necrosis, vascular endothelial injury and microvascular thrombosis. DISCUSSION:This study wil investigate the effects of CD31 and CD54 on alcohol-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head, explore the pathogenesis of alcohol-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head, provide a new theoretical basis for early diagnosis and early treatment, and may provide a new target for its treatment. ETHICS APPROVAL:The protocol has been approved by the Animal Experimental Ethics Committee of Inner Mongolia Medical University (approval number YKD2016154). Experimental procedures and materials of rats wil be in accordance with the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, which is consistent with the guide of National Institutes of Health. Subject headings:Femur Head Necrosis;Membrane Proteins;Tissue Engineering

BACKGROUND:The relationship between long-term heavy drinking and alcohol-induced necrosis of the femoral head has long been clear, but thepathogenesis of alcohol-induced necrosis of the femoral head is currently not fuly understood.
OBJECTIVE:To establish a rat model of alcohol-induced avascular necrosis of femoral head and to study its pathogenesis.
METHODS: Eighty Wistar rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (40 rats per group). Rats in the experimental group were intragastricaly administered strong wine 10 mL/kg, once a day, for 6 consecutive days. Rats in the control group were given physiological saline 10mL/kg, once a day, for 6 consecutive days. Bilateral femoral heads were randomly colected from six rats every month for histomorphological observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Osteonecrosis: in the experimental group, at 3 months, trabecular bone became thin, arranged disorderly, and the number of empty lacuna began to increase. At 6 months, typical osteonecrosis appeared, and vacant lacunaes increased significantly. In the control group, trabecular bone was complete and neatly arranged. Osteocytes were visible in bone lacuna, and normal morphology of cels was seen. (2) Injury of blood vessels: in the experimental group, at 3 months, micro-intimal hyperplasia was observed. Elastic fibers of partial vascular endothelium were reduced. Elastic fiber andmiddle-layer smooth muscle breakage and proliferation were found. At 6 months, above manifestations were more remarkable. In the control group, arteriole film was not thickened, and vessel wal was normal. (3) Formation of microthrombus, in the experimental group, the number of microthrombus was increased at 3 months, and became significant at 6 months. In the control group, the number of microthrombus was not altered. (4) Results indicated that chronic alcohol intake can lead to microvascular endothelial injury in the rat femoral head. Abnormal blood microcirculation was detected in local region, and resulted in avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The degree of necrosis was associated with alcohol intake.

Objective To explore the relationship between Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). Methods A total of 78 patients with AOSD who had completed medical information were included in this study. Eleven patients who were diagnosed as rheumatic disease associated hemophagocytic syndrome among 26 patients who had hemophagocytic syndrome with histological evidence consisted of the MAS group. Clinical and laboratory data were analyzed in 78 patients with AOSD and 11 patients with MAS. Results Among 78 cases of AOSD, 9 patients (12%) could be diagnosed as MAS but didn't have hemophagocytic histological evidence. In the 11 MAS cases with hemophagocytic phenomenon, 6 patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of AOSD, 2 cases with panniculitis, 1 case with SLE, 1 case of dermatomyositis and 1 case of systemic vasculitis. Logistic analysis showed that splenomegaly (OR =2.13, 95%CI=1.11-3.42), leukopenia (OR=3.57, 95%CI=2.30～4.86), anaemia (OR=0.85, 95%CI=1.03～2.76), thrombocytopenia (OR=2.98, 95%CI=1.17-4.30) and hypertriglyceridemia (OR=1.66, 95%CI=1.02～2.74) were associated with development of MAS in AOSD. Conclusion The development of MAS in AOSD patient is frequent and hemophagocytic histological evidence could be found in severe cases. When splenomegaly and hypocytomsis present in AOSD patients, bone marrow examination should be done and the level of triglyceride and fibrinogen and activity of NK cells should be measured for early diagnosis.

Objective To explore the efficacy of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor in hip joint lesion of ankylosing spondylids (AS). Methods Eight-six patients with hip joint lesion of ankylosing spondylitis were Enrolled in this study. The treatment protocol was: ①Etanercept 25 mg was suncutaneously injected twice a week in the first two months and once a week in the following two months. Then it was injected once every oth-er two weeks in the last two months of the study period.②Methotrexate 15 mg was administered orally or in-travenously once a week.③NSAIDs and prednisone were stopped when symptoms sunsides. Results Twenty-eight cases (33%) stopped NSAIDs because of the disappearance of symptoms in 2 weeks after starting of the study. Forty-three (50%) stopped NSAIDs with in 8 weeks and 36 cases (42%) in them stopped NSAIDs and prednisone. During the 9th and 16th week, etanercept was used once a week and 49 cases (60%) stopped NSAIDs and prednisone. During the 17th and 24th week, etanercept was used once every two weeks, and 38 cases (44%) stopped NSAIDs and prednisone and their disease was stable. Hip Functional Scores of patients were elevated significantly at 2, 4 and 6 months after the treatment (p<0.05) BASDAI and BASFI decreased, and the difference was significant when compared to those before the treatment (P<0.05). For the 19 cases with hip joint synovitis and hydrarthrosis in MRI image but without obvious change in pelvic plain films, syn-ovitis of 11 cases disappeared and 4 cases improved significantly. In 84 hip joints with grade Ⅱ or Ⅲ changes, 13 joints improved for one grade, 16 joints had improvement but less than one grade, and 49 joints had no radiological changes. Conclusion Etanercept, when combined with methotrexate, is effective in treat-ing hip joint lesion of ankylosing spondylitis. The dosage of etanercept can be tapered after the disease is un-der control.
