    Abstract ( )  

    Abstract:Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy has been the gold standard procedure for the middle pelvic defects reconstruction, which is gradually replacing the abdominal procedure. The indicatioin of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is continually expanding with the progress of the surgical technique. It can remedy not only the middle pelvic defects, but also the severe bladder or rectum prolapse. The long-term operation effect shows that the subjective and objective cure rate is high, the recurrence rate of the apical vaginal prolapse is extremely low, the impact on the patients’ life quality is less, and the complications of mesh is in the acceptable range. Although the transrectal mesh erosion is rare, the long-term follow-up postoperatively should also be emphased. The long-term efficacy of laparoscopic sacrohysteropexy remains to be further studied.

    Abstract:Pelvic organ prolapse is the descent or herniation of pelvic organs to or beyond vaginal walls. As age is a significant risk factor, pelvic organ prolapse is particularly prevalent in elderly population. Many factors affect the treatment scheme including age, urinary and rectal symptoms, the desire to maintain or restore vaginal anatomy to accommodate sexual intercourse,and so on. A detailed preoperative assessment and a thorough discussion of the desires of the patient are required. Pessaries are internationally recommended first-line conservative treatment in elderly patients with POP.With the advantage of short operative time, reduced morbidity and quicker recovery, colpocleisis has become a popular treatment option for elderly patients, especially those with higher risks because of comorbidities.

    Abstract: Objective To detect the expression of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) gene in the cisplatin-resistant human ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV3 / DDP and its parent cell lines SKOV3, in order to explore the significance of ERCC1 gene in ovarian cancer cisplatin resistance and whether the effective ERCC1 gene silencing can effectively reverse the resistance of SKOV3 / DDP cells to DDP. Methods By real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-PCR) and Western imprinting method,detect the expression of ERCC1 mRNA and protein in SKOV3 / DDP and SKOV3 cell. Construct three artificial short hairpin RNA (shRNA) plasmid expression vector of ERCC1 gene silence, transfect to SKOV3 / DDP cells by slow transfection viral vector method. Detect the level of ERCC1 gene silence,and chose the best silent expression vector by RT-PCR and Western imprinting method. Detect the expression of ERCC1 gene in SKOV3 / DDP cells after stable transfection by RT-PCR and Western imprinting method and detect the resistance of transfection cells to DDP by CCK 8. Results The expression of ERCC1 mRNA and protein in SKOV3 / DDP cells was significantly higher than that of SKOV3, the difference being statistically significant (P< 0.01). The expression of ERCC1 mRNA and protein in SKOV3 / DDP cells was obviously decreased after stable transfection of ERCC1 shRNA, the difference being statistically significant (P<0.01). That suggested the specific ERCC1 gene silence could increase the sensitivity of SKOV3 / DDP cells to cisplat by Cell activity detection (P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of ERCC1 gene in SKOV3 / DDP cells increases significantly.The effective ERCC1 gene silence can effectively reverse the resistance of SKOV3 / DDP cells to cisplatin, increase sensitivity of the ovarian epithelial carcinoma cisplatin resistant cells to cisplatin,and thus provide new targets for the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer drug resistance.

    Abstract ( )  

    Abstract: Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of the cleavage stage embryos, double blastocyst and single blastocyst transfer in frozen embyro tranfer(FET) cycles after all embryos frozen. Methods Retrospective analysis was done in infertility patients who underwent in-vitro fertilization & embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Henan Provincial People’s Hospital during Jan.2010 and Dec.2012. According to the wishes of patients, the patients were divided into cleavage-stage embryo transfer (group A, n=456), double blastocyst transfer(group B, n=106)and single blastocyst transfer(group C, n=402).Results The number of average frozen embryo and the number of average embryo transfer were less in group B and C compared with group A,while the implantation rate was higher(P< 0.05). The average number of embryo transfer in group C was also less than that in group B(P<0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate and the pregnancy rate of initiated cycles in gruop B were significantly higher than those in group A and C, and the multiple pregnancy rate in group C was significantly lower than those in group A and B (P<0.05); the early abortion rate in group C was significantly lower than that in group A(P<0.05). Conclusion For patients who need to freeze all embryos, cryopreservion of all available blastocysts through vitrification and single blastocyst transfer may be the most cost-effective and achievable strategy.

    Abstract ( )  

    Abstract: Objective To investigate the influence of selective intrauterine growth restriction (sIUGR) on neonatal cerebral injury in monochorionic twins. Methods From June 2011 to June 2014,clinical data of 24 cases of monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) twins (48 fetuses) with sIUGR and 56 cases of normal MCDA twins (112 fetuses) in the same period were analyzed retrospectively in the Second School of Clinical Medicine of Jinan University. Fetuses with sIUGR were classified into three types according to umbilical artery Doppler flow pattern. There were 11 cases of typeⅠ, 10 cases of typeⅡand 3 cases of type Ⅲ. The babies received transcranial ultrasound scan after delivery and serial ultrasound scanning or MRI were followed-up in cases with abnormal ultrasound findings. Mild cerebral injury was defined with one of the following abnormal cranial scan finding:intraventricular hemorrhage(IVH) gradeⅠor gradeⅡ,lenticulostiate vasculopathy and/or subependymal pseudocysts; while severe cerebral injury was defined as IVH grade Ⅲ or grade Ⅳ, cystic periventricular hemorrhage (PVL) gradeⅡor higher, porencephalic cysts and/or ventricular dilatation. The neonatal cerebral injury was compared between sIUGR and normal MCDA twins, and among the three types of sIUGR as well. Results The incidence of severe and mild cerebral injury was 4.2% (1/24) and 10.4% (5/48) respectively in the sIUGR group, and 0% and 6.3% (7/112) in the control group. No significant difference was noted between the proportion of cerebral injury in two groups (P>0.05). No clinical neural injury symptom was observed in the 12 cases with minor brain scan anomalies. All of them received serial brain scan or MRI. Except for one case without ultrasonography change, the majority (11/12, 91.6%) of cases had signs of improvement. There were 2 cases (2/22,9.1%) in typeⅠand 3 cases (3/26,11.5%) in typeⅡ/Ⅲ presenting minor cerebral injury (P>0.05). There was one neonatal death and one major brain injury in typeⅡ/Ⅲ, while there was no neonatal death and severe brain injury in typeⅠ(P>0.05). Conclusion The incidence of severe and mild cerebral injury rate in neonates of MC twins with sIUGR is not significantly different from that in normal MCDA twins. The majority of cases with mild cerebral injury is transient. But the prognosis is poorer in typeⅡ/Ⅲ. Therefore, it is important to monitor the intrauterine situation closely and terminate the pregnancy in time in order to decrease the rate of major cerebral injury.

    Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of the multi-functional airbag abdominal pressure belt in midwifery and prevention of postpartum hemorrhage. Methods Select 100 natural delivery cases of the hospitalized primiparae at the hospital, and divide them randomly into two groups. In the observation group, 50 primiparae used the multi-functional airbag abdominal pressure belts during the second and third stages of labor, and in the control group, 50 did not use the belts. Delivery outcomes of the primiparae and their fetus were observed.Results The average duration of the second stage of labor, head emergence to delivery, placenta delivery and postpartum hemorrhage were all shorter in the observation group (P< 0.05). There was no statistical difference in episiotomy rate, maternal signs 2 hours postpartum, neonatal Apgar score or neonatal cord blood gas analysis (P< 0.05). No statistical difference was found in primipara signs and fetal heart rate change of the primiparae under different internal pressures of the airbag during the second labor stage in the observation group (P> 0.05). Conclusion By closely monitoring and appropriately adjusting the internal pressure of the airbag, the multi-functional airbag abdominal pressure belt can speed up the second and third stages of labor, prevent postpartum hemorrhage and promote natural delivery.

    Abstract:Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) is a specific ectopic pregnancy with the gestational sac implanted in a previous cesarean scar. With the increasing rate of cesarean section deliveries, the rate of CSP had increased exponentially. Due to delayed in diagnosis and treatment,it may result in life-threatening conditions such as massive vaginal bleeding or uterine rupture, or even loss of life. The pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of CSP have not unified standard.The research of pathogenesis is conduced to the prophylaxis of CSP.Early diagnosis and rational treatment can avoid severe complication.
