OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of Acetic acid goserelin sustained-release implants (AGRI) in the treatment of ovary endometrium cyst (OEC) recurrence after laparoscopic enuleation of ovarian cyst. METHODS:Totally of 60 patients with OEC recurrence after laparoscopic enuleation of ovarian cyst in Zhangjiagang First People's Hospital dur-ing Jan. 2013-Jan. 2015 were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups were given Mifepristone tablets orally 25 mg,qd. Control group was given Gestrinone capsules orally 2.5 mg,twice a week. Observation group was given AGRI subcutaneously 3.6 mg,once a month. Both groups were treated for consec-utive 6 months. Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed as well as the levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),lu-teinizing hormone(LH)and estradiol(E2),VAS scores of dysmenorrheal and chronic pelvic pain before treatment,3,6 months af-ter treatment. The occurrence of ADR and the prognosis of 12-month follow-up were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:Total re-sponse rate of observation group was 86.67%,which was significantly higher than 70.00%of control group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). After 3 months of treatment,the levels of FSH and LH in 2 groups were decreased significantly compared to be-fore treatment,with statistical significance (P<0.05);the level of E2 had no change;there was no statistical significance in the levels of FSH and LH between 2 groups(P>0.05);after 6 months of treatment,the levels of FSH,LH and E2 in 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). After 3 and 6 months of treatment,VAS score of dysmenorrheal and chronic pelvic pain in 2 groups were decreased signifi-cantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The inci-dence of ADR in observation group was 40.00%,which was significantly higher than 16.70% of control group,with statistical sig-nificance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in recurrence rate between 2 groups(P>0.05). The recovery rate of men-struation in observation group was 86.67%,the rate of dominant follicle formation was 60.00% and pregnancy rate was 53.33%, which were significantly higher than 46.67%,46.67% and 33.33% of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:AGRI shows significant therapeutic efficacy for OEC recurrence after laparoscopic enuleation of ovarian cyst,can ef-fectively relieve dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain,increase the rate of pregnancy. There is still recurrent cases after drug with-drawal. The incidence of ADR is high,but the symptoms are mild.

Objective: To study the examination of coronary sinus (CS) and blood flow by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) and transesophageal echocardiography(TEE).Methods: Thirty patients with supraventricular tachycardia were studied by TTE and TEE. The CS was visualized using modified 4 chamber view. The position of the probe was optimized until the coronary sinus with its ostium into the right atrium could be visualized. CS flow recordings were performed by TEE with Doppler sample volume placed in the CS within a distance of no more than 10 mm from its ostium. Results: In all patients the angle between the doppler beam and the long axis of the CS was <30°. The CS was fully displayed in 18 patients by TTE and 28 patients by TEE. The length and width of the CS were (16.53±2.57) mm and (4.51±1.30) mm by TTE, (24.11±2.46) mm and (5.06±0.97) mm by TEE.The CS flow was characterized by biphasic flow.Its flow velocity was (39±7.8), (31±6.1) and (21±4.7) cm/s respectively. The CS flow velocity-imeintegral was(43±11.6),(43±13.0),(27±8.2) cm/s. Conclusion: Echocardiography is reliable for detecting CS and its flow. TTE is more feasible for detecting CS and its flow than TEE.

Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamics of remifentanil required to prevent laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion response in patients anesthetized with propofol by TCI. Methods Thirty-six ASA Ⅰor Ⅱ patients aged 18-59 yr with body mass index ＜ 30 kg/m2 undergoing elective breast operation were enrolled in the study. Propofol was administered by TCI at an effect-site concentration of 4.0 μg/ml. When the patients lost conciousness, TCI of remifentanil was started. The initial target plasma concentration of remifentanil was set at 2.9 ng/ml, and the ratio of two consecutive effect-site concentrations was 1.2. LMA was inserted at 3 min after the target effect-site concentration and the plasma concentration achieved the balance. Criteria of successful insertion were defined as Muzi score≤2 and the increase in MAP and HR≤ 15% of the baseline values within 3 min after insertion. EC50 was determined by modified Dixon's up-and-down sequential trial and the 95 % confidence interval was calculated. Results The EC50 of remifentanil was 2.75 ng/ml. The 95% confidence interval was 2.51-3.01 ng/ml. Conclusion The EC50 of remifentanil for suppression of cardiovascular response to LMA insertion is 2.75 ng/ml in patients anesthetized with propofol by TCI.

BACKGROUND:Synthetic patch as an important substitute to pelvic tissue can replace damaged pelvic fascia tissue, and has been widely used in the pelvic floor reconstruction. OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and complications of pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh, and to explore its safety and effectiveness. METHODS: Forty-five pelvic organ prolapse female patients were divided into two groups according to patient’s wilingness: experimental group, pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh (n=25); control group, transvaginal hysterectomy combined with vaginal wal repair (n=20). Perioperative conditions were recorded, and uterine prolapse staging, complications, pelvic floor function, pelvic discomfort, as wel as an objective cure rate were evaluated in the two groups during the folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the experimental group was characterized as shorter operative time, less amount of bleeding, milder infections, and faster recovery (AlP < 0.05). At 6 months of folow-up, the score on uterine prolapse staging was higher in the experimental group than the control group; at 12 months, the scores on pelvic floor function and pelvic discomfort as wel as the incidence of complications were significantly lower in the experimental group (P < 0.05), but the objective cure rate was higher compared with the control group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that pelvic floor reconstruction with mesh for pelvic organ prolapsed can reduce the operative time and blood loss and promote postoperative recovery. Meanwhile, it can significantly improve pelvic floor function, pelvic discomfort, postoperative complications, the rate of exposure, and the objective cure rate, which is safe and effective during the short-term folow-up.

Objective To discuss the value of high resolution MRI in the evaluation of small intralabyrinthine lesions with the symptom of vertigo. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the imaging examination techniques and imaging finding of 13 cases of labyrinthine hemorrhage or exudate and 6 cases of intralabyrinthine schwannoma (ILS) with the symptom of vertigo. Two cases of labyrinthine hemorrhage or exudate and 3 cases of ILS underwent temporal bone high resolution CT(HRCT) scan and all the 19 patients received highresolution MR examination. Patients of labyrinthine hemorrhage or exudate received fluid?attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)T2WI in addition to routine pre?contrast temporal bone MR. Pre?and post?contrast MR of the temporal bone were performed on the ILS patients. In particular, 3 ILS cases received three?dimensional sampling perfection with application?optimized contrasts by using different flip angle evolutions (3D?SPACE) sequence. Results There was no abnormal finding on HRCT of the inner ear of the 2 labyrinthine hemorrhage cases. On T1WI, regions of mild increased signal intensity of the labyrinth of affected side could be spotted in 7 patients whereas no abnormal signal intensity was found in the other 6 patients. On T2WI, all the 13 labyrinthine hemorrhage or exudate cases had no abnormal finding in the inner ear. On FLAIR T2WI sequence, regions of increased signal intensity of the labyrinth of affected side could be found in all the 13 cases. Thress ILS patients that received HRCT scan showed no valuable finding. On T1WI, no abnormal signal intensity was found in the labyrinth of the 6 patients. On T2WI, regions of decreased signal intensity of the labyrinth could be found in only 3 patients. All the 3 cases that received 3D?SPACE sequence appeared as a filling defect in the high?signal labyrinth clearly while 2 of the 3 lesions could not be found on T2WI. After Gadolinium administration, all the 6 ILSs were obviously enhancing. Conclusions High resolution MRI is valuable in the diagnosis of labyrinthine hemorrhage or exudate and ILS. The use of FLAIR T2WI sequence can help us to find labyrinthine hemorrhage or exudate more sensitively. The use of 3D?SPACE sequence can help us to detect and diagnose small intralabyrinthine lesions.

BACKGROUND:Genetic factors, environment, chronic infection, and autoimmune disorders are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis. Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Ethnic and regional diversity of differentialy expressed genes has become research hotspot because of family aggregation and ethnic diversity of ankylosing spondylitis.
OBJECTIVE:To screen differentialy expressed genes in Xinjiang Uygur and Han patients with ankylosing spondylitis by microarray screening and compare differences in gene expressions.
METHODS: Uygur and Han patients with active ankylosing spondylitis in department of rheumatology of our hospital were randomly colected with five patients for each. In addition, three healthy volunteers were selected as controls. RNA from peripheral blood was extracted and used for microarray hybridization after probe preparation to screen differentialy expressed genes in ankylosing spondylitis samples and the microarray results were verified by semi-quantitative RT-PCR analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Twenty differentialy expressed miRNAs were screened in Uygur and Han patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (P < 0.05). From relationship analysis of target genes and miRNAs, 15 target genes corresponding to the 79 miRNAs involved in human leucocyte antigens and interleukins which linked to human immunity system were found. These findings suggest that differentialy expressed genes can be screened from Uygur and Han patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
