    LIN Shao-dan;LIN Zhong-qiu
    2014, 41 (4):  333-338. 
    Abstract ( 1204 )   PDF (990KB) ( 5131 )  
    Minimally invasive operation technologies, including laparoscopic surgery, robot assisted laparoscopic surgery, hysteroscopic surgery, vaginal surgery, and all kinds of operation with small incision, with the advantage of fewer traumas, smaller scar , rapid recuperation and better acceptance by patients, play more and more important roles in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecologic malignant tumor. Three incision technique and laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy are effective for improving postoperative poor wound healing in patients with vulva cancer. Transvaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy, laparoscopic appendectomy, laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy are allowed to be performed in the suitable patients with cervical or endometrial cancer. For some select patients with early ovarian cancer and some with isolated recurrent lesion, minimally invasive surgical approaches may be employed by experienced gynecologic oncologists to achieve the surgical staging procedure or cytoreduction. In most instances with ovarian cancer, comprehensive surgical staging and tumor reductive surgery should be completed by an abdominal approach. The indications of minimally invasive operation should be strictly controlled. Highly individualized approach should be chosen to make sure the least injury, minimal inflammation, best healing and therapeutic effect.

    Safety of Minimally Invasive Surgery in Gynecologic Oncology
    CHEN Ya-xia;XIE Xing
    2014, 41 (4):  339-341. 
    Abstract ( 1171 )   PDF (600KB) ( 5169 )  
    Patients with gynecological malignant tumor are relatively older than patients with benign gynecological diseases. The operation process for gynecological cancers is more complicated and need longer operation time than for benign gynecological diseases. Malignant tumor has possibility of wound planting and recurrence. Many doctors worry about peri-operation complications and the prognosis of patients with gynecologic cancers received minimally invasive operation. At present, the minimally invasive operation in gynecological malignant tumor was far less than in the benign gynecological diseases. But a lot of literature shows that in cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer and other gynecological malignant tumors, the prognosis and peri-operation complication rate in patients treated with laparoscopic radical operation are similar or even better than patients treated with traditional open operation. In conclusion, minimally invasive treatment of gynecologic malignant tumor by doctors with laparoscopic operation skills is feasible, reasonable and safe.

    Hot Topics of Cervical Cancer Screening
    QU Peng-peng
    2014, 41 (4):  347-350. 
    Abstract ( 1139 )   PDF (575KB) ( 5194 )  
    Cervical cancer is preventable and curable in early stage. Different screening strategy should be chosen in different region and population. Cytology-based world-wide cervical cancer screening has led to a substantial reduction of the incidence of cervical cancer. However, the sensitivity of cytology for the detection of high-grade precursor lesions or cervical cancer is limited. After human papillomavirus (HPV) was identified as a cause of invasive cervical cancer, HPV DNA testing was developed to screen for the disease, screening strategies has changed(primary screening:cytology-based→HPV-based or Co-testing→HPV16/18 genotyping). Although HPV testing is sensitive, it has poor specificity and positive predictive value, not everyone who carries HPV 16 or 18 develops CIN or cancer. This weakness could be overcome by application of biomarkers.

    ZHAO Jian-guo;QU Peng-peng
    2014, 41 (4):  351-354. 
    Abstract ( 1202 )   PDF (491KB) ( 5175 )  
    The treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer is the difficulty in gynecologic oncology. Its treatments include surgery,chemotherapy,targeted therapy,biological therapy,etc. The cytoreductive surgery is a treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer,including secondary cytoreductive surgery and multiple cytoreductive surgery. Principle treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer is ensuring patients′ quality of life and prolonging the survival time as long as possible. Strict surgical indications were involved in secondary cytoreductive surgery and multiple cytoreductive surgery. It is a key role that all visible leision must be removed during the cytoreductive surgery in recurrent ovarian cancer as much as possible,in order to minimize the tumor burden and reduce the clones of resistant-drug. Secondary or multiple cytoreductive surgery is more complex,multidisciplinary collaboration is required to complete the surgery and take good care after surgery. With premise of unchanging the quality of survival patients recovery should be promoted under multidisciplinary collaboration. Chemotherapy after optimal secondary or multiple cytoreductive surgery may improve the overall survival of patients.The rule of treatment must be complied.

    LIN Shao-dan;LU Huai-wu;XIE Qing-sheng;ZHANG Yuan-yuan;GUAN Mei-mei;LIN Zhong-qiu
    2014, 41 (4):  355-360. 
    Abstract ( 1204 )   PDF (814KB) ( 5148 )  
    Parametrial involvement is one of the most important prognostic factors of cervical cancer. Parametrial involvement is defined as either malignant cell in the parametrium or tumor emboli within lymphvascular channels or lymph nodes. The factors associated with parametrial involvement of early cervical cancer are age,stage,grade,tumor size,invasion depth,pelvic lymph node metastases,lymphvascular invasion(LVSI),uterine involvement,vaginal involvement,the preoperative serum of squamous cell carcinoma and ovarian metastasis. It is generally believed that the most important factors associated with parametrial involvement of early cervical cancer are tumor size,invasion depth,pelvic lymph node metastases,LVSI. The researchers have proposed the criteria of the low risk for parametrial involvement include tumor size≤2 cm,invasion<5 mm or <10 mm,negative lymph nodes and negative lymphvascular invasion. Patients at low risk could be considered for less radical surgery such as modified radical hysterectomy or simple hysterectomy or trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy.

    YE Lei;ZHU Jian-long;FENG Ling-da;WENG Lei;WANG Xi-peng
    2014, 41 (4):  374-378. 
    Abstract ( 1134 )   PDF (773KB) ( 5206 )  
    Objective: To discuss the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) on high-risk factors as frequently reported by post-surgical pathology and the overall survival rate in patients with stage ⅠB2-ⅡB cervical cancer. Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data from 196 patients of stages ⅠB2-ⅡB cervical cancer admitted to First Maternity and Infant Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University during January 2003 to June 2013. Patients were divided into two groups: 71 cases received pre-surgical NACT based on platinum and taxol (NACT group) and 125 cases received primary surgical treatment (PST group) without pre-surgical NACT. Both groups received radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy(age >45 years old) plus pelvic lymph node dissection with or without para-aortic lymphadenectomy. In the NACT group, reduction in tumor size was observed after chemotherapy. Pelvic lymph node metastasis, depth of myometral invasion, lympho-vascular space invasion, bulky tumor, parametrial invasion, positive vaginal resection margin and survival rates were compared between the two groups. Results:In NACT group, data missing were 15 cases, 4 cases (7.1%) had complete remission (CR), 27 cases (48.2%) had partial remission (PR), 18 cases (32.1%) were stable disease (SD) and 7 cases (12.5%) were progression of disease (PD). Compared with the PST group, patients in NACT group had greater reduction in the size of uterus and width of cervical lesion, more lymph nodes dissected, and fewer bulky tumors with≥ 50% thickness myometrial invasion (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other 5 high-risk factors and blood loss, duration of operation, the overall survival rate between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has certain recent clinical curative effects, however, did not improve the overall survival rate, therefore, doctors should carefully consider the clinical application of NACT. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has a certain effect on controling pathologic risk factors of the bulky cervical cancer after surgery. Accordingly, for massive type, surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy will be a safe treatment.

    2014, 41 (4):  386-389. 
    Abstract ( 1105 )   PDF (569KB) ( 5179 )  
    Cervical cancer is second only to breast cancer was the most common female malignant tumor, a serious threat to women′s lives. Reported at home and abroad in recent years, cervical cancer incidence and mortality were significantly decreased, but there was a tendency of younger under 35 cervical cancer incidence rate rose significantly. Cervical cancer, the fundamental cause of the disease is recognized as with human papilloma virus (human papillomavirus, HPV) infection related,after the HPV infection most of the host immune system can clear the virus, when the body′s immune system dysfunction, cervical epithelial cells due to HPV infections cannot be effectively remove viruses, eventually lead to cervical cancer. After virus infection through a variety of mechanisms to escape immune recognition. High mobility group protein 1 (high mobility group box 1 protein, HMGB1) play an important role in the process of induction of host immune suppression, the protein expression level of cervical squamous carcinoma related proteins. But chronic inflammation caused by HPV infection progression to cervical cancer whether HMGB1 play a role in this process, the specific mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, understand the change of the host immune system for cervical cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention will be of great significance. This will be for HMGB1 and reviews the correlation between cervical cancer immune.

    Relationship between miRNA Regulating Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Metastasis in Ovarian Cancer
    ZHANG Yue;ZHANG Shu
    2014, 41 (4):  390-394. 
    Abstract ( 1189 )   PDF (832KB) ( 5205 )  
    Ovarian cancer is a common gynecological malignancy and one of leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in female patients around the globe. The metastasis of ovarian cancer is an important factor in causing deaths. EMT (epithelial-mesenchymal transition) refers to the transition process from the phenotype of epithelial cells to mesenchymal phenotype and is closely associated with the malignant progression of tumors in its invasion and metastasis. MicroRNA (miRNA) are a class of small molecule and noncoding RNAs which inhibit translation of the mRNA transcript of the genes expression,and become more and more concerned in regulating EMT progress. Many kinds of miRNA expressed abnormally and related to the occurrence and development of ovarian cancer,are expected to be used in early diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.In this review,we presented recent research regarding the role of EMT and related microRNAs in the malignant progression of ovarian cancer.

    2014, 41 (4):  395-400. 
    Abstract ( 1126 )   PDF (842KB) ( 5192 )  
    Endometrial and ovarian carcinomas are malignant neoplasms in the female reproductive system. Estrogen has been proved as an epidemic factor throughout gynecological carcinoma. Recently, it has been found that G-protein-coupled receptor 30(GPR30) mediates cell proliferation and survival through nongenomic effects in hypo-exposure of estrogen. Moreover, the role of tumor associated fibroblasts in carcinoma has frequently been taken into account. We review and reveal the role of GPR30 in the regulation of endometrial and ovarian carcinomas in order to provide new molecular target therapy.

    Abstract ( 1017 )   PDF (785KB) ( 5180 )  
    Phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase (PI3K) signalling pathway specially regulate a range of cellular essential physical processes, including proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle progression ,which is closely bound up to the formation, development and prognosis of various human cancers. Based on the difference of comprising subunits, phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase (PI3K) can be divided into three classes, including PI3K classⅠ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ. The substrate specificity, as well as the corresponding catalytic product downstream, also differ among such three classes biological effects and lead to specific biological effects. Various subunits of PI3K classⅠalways undergo mutation or amplification, accompanied by predominant carcinogenic potential. PI3K class Ⅱ mainly controls cell proliferation and apoptosis, regulate cell cycle progression and the formation of newborn vessels, whereas PI3K class Ⅲ can induce the autophagy procedure of endometrial glandular epithelial cells and inhibit their excessive proliferation. This article mainly provides a review concerning the specific relationship between pathogenesis of Gynecological cancers, especially endometrial carcinoma and various PI3K regulatory subunits and catalytic subunits.

    2014, 41 (4):  419-422. 
    Abstract ( 1204 )   PDF (610KB) ( 5154 )  
    Objective: To explore differences in incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregnancy outcomes for patients with subclinical hypothyroidism(SCH) versus normal pregnant women. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 342 pregnant women with SCH(SCH group) and 2 605 pregnant women with normal thyroid function(control group) diagnosed by serum thyroid function screening presented for prenatal care was performed. The incidences of GDM diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) of two groups were compared. Each group was divided into GDM & normal OGTT subgroups by results of OGTT, the following parameters of every subgroup were abstracted and appropriate statistical tests were performed: serum levels of TSH/FT4/TPOAb, incidences of abortion and premature delivery, the average weeks of delivery, the weights/lengths/head circumferences of neonates. Results: SCH group developed higher incidence of GDM than control group. Frequencies of TPOAb positivity were higher in SCH group than control group, while no significant differences were indicated between SCH subgroups neither was between control subgroups(P<0.01). Serum TSH level of SCH group was higher than control group while serum FT4 level was lower(P<0.01), while no significant differences of TSH and T4 levels were indicated between SCH subgroups neither were between control subgroups(P>0.05). Incidence of abortion and premature delivery in SCH-GDM subgroup was significant higher than rates in SCH-normal OGTT subgroups and both control subgroups(P<0.01). The rate was higher in SCH-normal OGTT subgroup than in control-normal OGTT subgroup (P<0.01) as well as in control-GDM subgroup than control-normal OGTT subgroup (P<0.05), while no significance difference was showed between subgroups SCH-normal OGTT and control-GDM (P>0.05). No statistical difference of the average weeks of delivery was found between SCH subgroups(P>0.05), while both were shorter than weeks of control subgroups(P<0.01). No differences were indicated in the weights/lengths/ head circumferences of neonates. Conclusions: SCH increases incidence of GDM in gestation period, Risk of adverse pregnant outcomes is higher when SCH complicated with GDM because it′s more harmful than simple disease. SCH patients should be observed emphatically, specially in monitoring and controlling levels of blood sugar.

Statistical analysis of the tendency,the preterm-related factors,mode of delivery and the neonatal asphyxia of different gestational weeks of prematurity (early preterm,interim preterm,late preterm) and different types (spontaneous preterm birth,treatment of preterm labor). Results:①From 2008 to 2012,the rate of preterm birth increased year by year(χ2=65.69,P<0.001),while varying periods preterm showed an increasing trend,different types of preterm birth tended to increase. ②Varying periods of spontaneous preterm relevant factors include premature rupture of membranes,multiple pregnancy,abnormal fetal position,gestational diabetes some other unexplained factors and so on;the varying periods of therapeutic premature factors include gestational hypertension,placental factors,pregnancy complications,multiple pregnancy,intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy,fetal distress and so on. ③The vaginal delivery and cesarean section rate of different gestational weeks of preterm delivery was no significant difference (P>0.05),while was statistically significant difference (P<0.05) in different types of preterm delivery. The treatment of preterm cesarean section is higher than spontaneous preterm labor (P<0.05). ④The Birth weight and neonatal asphyxia varying different periods of preterm birth have been statistically significant(P<0.05), early preterm children with neonatal asphyxia (53.01%) higher than interim (33.46%,P<0.05) and late preterm infants(28.61%,P<0.05),no significant difference in interim and late preterm children(P>0.05). Conclusions:We should discriminate the preterm potential risk factors earlier and strengthen the perinatal management to reduce the incidence of preterm birth and improve the perinatal outcomes.

    The Role of Trophoblastic Debris in the Pathogenesis of Preeclampsia
    SHEN Fang;CHEN Qi;XIAO Jian-ping
    2014, 41 (4):  443-447. 
    Abstract ( 1122 )   PDF (742KB) ( 5216 )  
    Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific complication which is characterized by systemic endothelial cell activation and exaggerated inflammatory response. Although the pathogenesis of preeclampsia is unclear,it is well recognized that placental factor(s) and maternal factor(s) contribute to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Trophoblastic debris shed from placenta is one of the possible placental factors. During the pregnancy, trophoblastic debris is shed into the maternal blood to become trapped against the maternal pulmonary endothelium as early as 6 weeks of gestation in an apoptosis form. Trophoblastic debris was reported to be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia in 1893. The increased amount of trophoblastic debris is seen in preeclampsia. Recent study showed that phagocytosis of necrotic trophoblastic debris results in endothelial cell activation that seen in preeclampsia. There are many potential factors that could switch apoptotic trophoblastic debris into necrotic trophoblastic debris. Of them, antiphospholid antibodies, inflammatory cytokines like IL-6, TGF-β1 and failure of spiral artery transformation play an important role on it. To date even there is no effective treatment on preeclampsia, calcium and vitamin C supplementation may reduce the risk for developing preeclampsia through preventing endothelial cell activation induced by phagocytosis of necrotic trophoblastic debris.

    Advances in Gestational Age Estimating Based on Last Menstrual Period and Ultrasound
    LIANG Shuang;LI Xiao-tian
    2014, 41 (4):  448-450. 
    Abstract ( 1125 )   PDF (348KB) ( 5127 )  
    Last menstrual period(LMP),which is a common means of estimation of gestational age,is simple,economical and low-cost. However,this method has many defects. Studies have demonstrated ultrasonography measurement to be superior to the LMP in estimation of gestational age and is receiving more and more attention. It is becoming the preferred choice for estimation of day of delivery in many countries. There is clinically significant difference among areas when determining gestational age on the basis of ultrasonography measurement. But there is no a sonographic dating formula based on ultrasonography measurement in Chinese population. This paper reviews the LMP and ultrasound characteristics and calculate gestational age ultrasound assessment of gestational age specific method for processing to provide a better basis for obstetrics.

    Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4,Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
    HUANG Xiao;JIN Jie-wen;WANG Yong
    2014, 41 (4):  462-465. 
    Abstract ( 1133 )   PDF (620KB) ( 5171 )  
    Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is one of the common endocrine disorder affecting women of reproductive age,and is characterized by oligo- or anovulation,hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries. Some findings show that the cause of PCOS has something to do with the abnormal regulation of transcription factors,such as the Transforming Growth Factor-beta(TGF-β) superfamily. Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4(BMP4) and Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7(BMP7) are both important members in TGF-β superfamily, and play an significant role in the folliculogenesis、ovulation and the development and apotosis of granulosa cells in ovary. As a result,in order to know more about the pathogenesis and treatment of PCOS, it is necessary to make clear the regulation function of BMP4 and BMP7 in female reproductive system.

    Mechanism of Peripheral Vascular Motion and Central in Hot Flushes of Menopause
    SUN Yu;BAI Wen-pei
    2014, 41 (4):  466-468. 
    Abstract ( 1136 )   PDF (426KB) ( 5200 )  
    Hot flash is the most common and special symptom of menopause and also is one of the most painful symptoms. However,the mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis of the hot flash are not completely understood. Recently,some researchers found that hot flash could be associated with kinds of factors .Among all possible reasons, hypothalamic temperature set point becoming narrow are widely accepted by most scholars . In addition, the low level of estrogen leads high level noradrenalin and low level 5-hydroxytryptamine which will impact thermoregulation. And also hot flash could be bound with calcitonin gene-related peptide ,beta-endorphin and other social psychological factors. Now we will summarize the current studies in the mechanisms of the hot flash.

    2014, 41 (4):  469-472. 
    Abstract ( 1171 )   PDF (603KB) ( 5095 )  
    Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is a common endocrine disease in women. The phenomenon of familial aggregation suggests the role of genetic factors. Recent studies revealed that insulin resistanc(IR) played an important role in the pathophysiology of PCOS,most of the PCOS patients suffered from IR. Calpain-10 gene(CAPN-10) was the first positional cloned gene that was associated with type-2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Its mutation was relevant to IR, which affected the genetic susceptibility of T2DM. Due to the common mechanism of IR, CAPN-10 became an important candidate gene for PCOS. And difference in the genome sequence and modification was the fundamental reason for the difference of genetic susceptibility,in which the variation of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) caused by 90%. Currently, data base of SNP (dbSNP) had listed 521 human CAPN-10 SNP locus. Now we will summarise the current status and progress in between CAPN-10 and PCOS.

    Abstract ( 1062 )   PDF (595KB) ( 5127 )  
    Intrauterine device(IUD) is one of the widely used long-acting contraceptive methods. At present,our country has the widespread use of copper containing IUD,but the placement of IUD women often have some adverse reactions,such as menorrhagia,irregular bleeding,abnormal vaginal discharge,pain,especially with the highest incidence of abnormal uterine bleeding. Patients with a serious impact on recognition of copper containing IUD and acceptance,which has been plagued by a problem that can not be ignored in clinic. At present it has been proved that human endometrium contains a variety of angiogenesis factor. Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) is an important regulator of endometrial vessels formed,and affected by many factors. A number of research on the relationship between VEGF and related factors and the copper IUD induced abnormal uterine bleeding,the copper containing IUD side reactions of targeted therapy has opened up a new prospect.
