Objective:To observe the changes of pelvic floor structure and function in female vaginal laxity after CO 2 fractional laser transvaginal treatment. Methods:This study reviewed the improvement of pelvic floor structure and function after CO 2 fractional laser transvaginal treatment in 28 female patients [aged 26-59 (37.5±8.3) years] with vaginal laxity syndrome seen at the Department of Dermatology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March 2020 to November 2021. A total of 28 female patients with vaginal laxity syndrome underwent intravaginal treatment by CO 2 fractional laser instrument once/month for 3 times. The clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated according to the pre- and post-treatment transverse vaginal diameter, FSFI score of female sexual function, VHIS score of vaginal environment, vaginal tactile imaging system (VTI), pelvic ultrasound and MRI, tissue biopsy, patient satisfaction, pain score, and postoperative adverse effects. Results:Twenty-one of the twenty-eight female patients with vaginal laxity syndrome showed significant improvement in symptoms related to vaginal laxity syndrome after intravaginal treatment with CO 2 fractional laser therapy. All patients showed improvement in all indexes before and 1 month after treatments the mean vaginal transverse diameter decreased from (3.00±0.39) fingers to (2.71±0.40) fingers ( P<0.05), VHIS increased from (17.12±3.97) to (21.69±3.61) ( P<0.05), FSFI score improved from (23.11±3.70) to (27.43±5.33) ( P<0.05), and VTI examination showed that vaginal muscle strength and elasticity were improved to different degrees, and there was a statistical difference compared with that before treatment (total contractility of the anterior vaginal wall: t=26.23, P<0.001; total contractility of posterior vaginal wall: t=39.02, P<0.001; the mean contractility of the anterior vaginal wall: t=17.92, P<0.001; the mean contractility of the posterior vaginal wall: t=22.57, P<0.001). At the same time, questionnaire score of international consultation on incontinent questionnaire short form (ICI-Q-SF scale) of 13 patients with combined mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence showed a statistically significant decrease compared with those before treatment (8.97±2.99 before treatment and (7.18±1.79) one month after treatment; t=2.792, P<0.01). Pelvic ultrasound and magnetic resonance examination indicated a tightening of the vaginal wall structure, and pelvic ultrasound observed a significant decrease in bladder neck mobility and a significant decrease in vesicourethral rotation angle. Vaginal tissue biopsy indicated an increase in the thickness of the vaginal mucosa and an increase in the number and more regular arrangement of collagen fibers after treatment. All patients had high treatment satisfaction and there were no adverse effects such as infection and bleeding during the treatment. Conclusions:Transvaginal CO 2 fractional laser treatment can improve the pelvic floor structure and function around the vagina, treat female vaginal laxity syndrome, stress urinary incontinence and female sexual dysfunction, with significant clinical efficacy and good safety.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of fractional CO 2 laser for the treatment of vaginal relaxation syndrome. Methods:Twenty-one females with vaginal relaxation syndrome receiced between December 2016 and January 2017 in our department were treated for 3 times at 1 month interval with femilift fractional CO 2 laser. Vaginal palpation, vaginal squeeze pressure test, vaginal ultrasound, pelvic floor MRI, and Incontinence Questionnaire Short-Form (ICIQ-SF) assessments were performed at baseline and at post-treatment. Results:Significant improvement in female sexual dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence was especially seen based on patient's feelings after treatments. A noted progressive differences were observed in FSFI and vaginal pressure test, which were much higher after treatment than before treatment ( P<0.01). Moreover, in 13 cases suffering from mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence (SUI), fractional CO 2 laser treatment was associated with a significant improvement of ICIQ-SF scores ( P<0.01). All subjects successfully completed the study with no adverse events such as infections, bleeding and pain, etc. Conclusions:Fractional CO 2 laser treatment is an effective treatment for female sexual dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence caused by vaginal relaxation syndrome.

Objective To explore the differences and similarities of the cervical lesions and mechanism between Asian variant E6 T178G and European variant E6 T350G, A442C and other variants. Methods We selected 300 clinic or hospitalized patients in our hospital during the period of May 2011 to October 2012. Cervical exfoliated cells were harvested by Thinprep cytologic test (TCT). A PCR sequencing assay was performed to detect HPV16 E2, E6 and E7 gene variants. One year later, the test was repeated. The patients with persistent infection underwent cervical biopsy by colposcopy for pathological examination. SP immunohistochemical method was applied to detect E7 protein expression level in all the patients. Results After one year, of 292 patients who were successfully sequenced, 259 were chronic cervicitis, 32 were cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I (CINI), and one was cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II (CINII). E7 protein expressed in each variant. But the expression of E7 protein in patients with different variant infection had no significant difference from each other. Conclusions E7 protein may be play a role in the early stages of HPV16?induced cervical lesions. But E7 protein may not be a reference index of the different carcinogenic mechanism between different HPV16 variants.

Objective To study effects ofXiangsha Liujunzi Decoction (XSLJZ) on gastric emptying function, pepsin activity and expression of HIF-1α gene and protein of gastric mucosa in chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) of rats with deficiency of spleen and stomach.Methods Rats were randomly divided into normal group and model group. The models of CAG rats with deficiency of spleen and stomach type were induced by synthetic methods. After the modeling, models rats were divided into model group, positive control group and XSLJZ high-, medium-, and low-dose groups. Normal group and model group were given 10 mL/kg distilled water every day for gavage; XSLJZ high-, medium-, and low-dose groups were given 24, 12, and 6 g/kg XSLJZ Decoction for gavage; positive control group was given 0.30 g/kg Vatacoenayme for gavage, for successive 120 d. Gastric emptying function and pepsin activity were detected, and HIF-1α gene and protein expression in gastric mucosa were detected by RT-qPCR and IHC. Results Compared with the normal group, the gastric emptying function and pepsin activity in the model group were much lower (P<0.01); expressions of HIF-1α gene and protein in gastric tissues was much higher (P<0.01). Compared with model group, XSLJZ could increase the gastric emptying function and pepsin activity significantly (P<0.05), and decrease expressions of HIF-1α gene and protein (P<0.05).Conclusion XSLJZ has functions of improving the gastric emptying function, promoting pepsin activity, and reducing expressions of HIF-1α gene and protein.

10.Characteristics and enlightenment of teaching and clinical model of medical imaging in Italy
Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2015;(9):881-883,884
Italian medical imaging education includes two parts: training for radiologists and for radiologic technologists. To be a radiologist, the six-year medical students after graduation must complete specialty training in radiology and pass the examination. Radiologic technologists are selected from the three-year bachelor graduates of medical imaging technology. There are basic medical science courses, cultural practice and clinical practice in medical college every year. Continuing medical imag-ing education includes lectures, case discussions and other forms. Radiologists are required to master all kinds of imaging techniques, working as clinical rotation in every section of medical imaging depart-ment. Patients need to make an appointment before having the medical imaging examination. Through the analysis of the characteristics of Italian medical imaging teaching and clinical patterns, the author puts forward the suggestion of putting emphasis on medical imaging curriculum reform, the full imple-mentation of the early clinical contact, and at the same time improving the professional medical image training mode to improve the radiologists' clinical ability.
