    Evaluation on Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Advanced Ovarian Carcinoma
    QU Quan-xin;MI Ruo-ran
    2009, 36 (5):  341-342. 
    Abstract ( 1991 )   PDF (185KB) ( 4875 )  
    Ovarian cancer, especially for advanced ovarian cancer, is a kind of common gynecologic malignant tumor with higher rate of relapse and death. It is the main reason that bulk unremovable tumor after cytoreductive surgery result in multidrug resistance, relapse and bad prognosis. It has been testified for nearly thirty years that neoadjuvant chemotherapy could reduce tumor volume, improve optimal cytoreduction rate and prognosis. However improved optimal cytoreduction rate failed to prolong the median lifetime. Therefore, we should evaluate objectively for the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer based on the clinical meta-analysis.

    Obese and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
    SUN Jing;WANG Yong;WU Xiao-ke
    2009, 36 (5):  343-347. 
    Abstract ( 2482 )   PDF (255KB) ( 5006 )  
    Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder among reproductive-aged women.
    Recent research has elucidated that as the prevalence of pediatric obesity escalates, the morbidity of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescent females is also increasing. Obesity contributes to the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome by increasing free insulin concentrations. Hyperandrogenism in PCOS can also increase visceral fat. Obesity can increase the morbidities of associated metabolic and cardiovascular dieases including insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia, hypertension and subclinical cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis. Early identification of adolescent polycystic ovary syndrome will help to correct and block the endocrine disorders, as well as the complications in the near future timely.

    Some New Thoughts About the Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
    WANG Na-mei;LI wei;WU Xiao-ke;HOU Li-hui
    2009, 36 (5):  348-351. 
    Abstract ( 2389 )   PDF (232KB) ( 4802 )  
    Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, characterized by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. The primary clinical manifestations of PCOS are infertility, hirsutism, chronic anovulation, menstrual irregularity, and polycystic ovaries. Excessive androgen production plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of PCOS, and the proposed mechanisms responsible for increased ovarian androgen include heightened theca cell responsiveness to gonadotropin stimulation, increased pituitary secretion of luteinizing hormone, and hyperinsulinemia. Insulin resistance and obesity may make the syndrome more severe. The interaction of androgen, insulin, gonadotropins, and obesity contributes to the reproductive phenotype of PCOS.

    WU Ya-ling;HAO Min
    2009, 36 (5):  352-355. 
    Abstract ( 3100 )   PDF (268KB) ( 4977 )  
    Endometriosis is one of the common gynecological diseases defined by the presence, growth, and invasion of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. It is mainly associated with chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhe and infertility and its prevalence increases year by year. Although many hypotheses have been proposed, the etiology of the disease remains an enigma. Inflammation and dysimmunity are important pathologic basis of endometriosis, Attachment-aggression-angiogenesis is the basic step of occurrence and development of EMs. Recent studies have suggested that the chemokines are involved in cultivation of endometriosis in the course of chemokine, adhesion, invasion, angiogenesis and cell proliferation and apoptosis and other important links. In this article, we make the review on the roles of chemotactic factor in occurrence and development of EMs.

    LIANG Cheng;WU Rui-jin;LIN Jun
    2009, 36 (5):  356-359. 
    Abstract ( 2208 )   PDF (222KB) ( 4857 )  
    The aetiology and pathogenesis of endometriosis remain obscure. Endometriosis is a commom gynecological disease, but it has some malignant behavors, such as hyperplasia, invasion, metastasis and recurrence. It is still a difficult problem for the preventation and treatment of endometriosis. Apoptosis is a distinctive form of programmed cell death, it plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and represents a normal function to eliminate excess or dysfunctional cells. Accumulated evidence suggests that abnormal apoptosis can promote the occurrence and development of endometriosis. This study is a current review of the literature focused on the apoptosis pathways, expression of apoptosis in normal endometrium and the alterations in regulation of apoptosis in eutopic and ectopic endometrium from women with endometriosis. The role of apoptosis in the treatment of endometriosis is reviewed to link the basic research findings with clinical applications.

    The Progression on the Relationship Between AngⅡ, AT1R and Gynecological Oncology
    ZHANG Ming-na;QU Peng-peng
    2009, 36 (5):  373-376. 
    Abstract ( 1714 )   PDF (216KB) ( 4728 )  
    AngiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) is the main active component of the Renin-Angiotensin-aldosterone
    system(RAS) and plays an important role in human blood pressure and liquid-electrolyte balance. Recently years, studies indicated that, RAS does not only exist in the blood circulation but also in some malignant tumor tissues, and in region tissues, and AngⅡparticipates tumor genesis, development and angiogenesis through binding to the AT1R. As a result, blocking AngⅡ or Angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R) may be a new target for tumor therapy. This article intents to summarize the progression on the relationship between AngⅡ, AT1R and gynecological oncology.

    Paclitaxel Chemothrepy for Cervical Cancer
    LIU Hui-ling;MI Ruo-ran
    2009, 36 (5):  377-379. 
    Abstract ( 2045 )   PDF (197KB) ( 4723 )  
    The anti-tumour agent paclitaxel has proved to be effective for the treatment of patients with solid tumor, and recently many results also indicate it’s clinically highly effective in patients with cervical cancer. Paclitaxel chemotherapy for cervical cancer is reviewed in three directions including monochemotherapy, and two or three drugs combination chemotherapy. The regimen of paclitaxel(T) combined with cisplatin(P) or carboplatin(C) has proved highly effective and safe, showing it is superior to monotherapy or three drugs combination therapy, especially in neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Compared with TP, TC demonstrates easiness of administration for improved renal toxicity of carboplatin. TP or TC combining with radiotherapy shows significant effect. Weekly paclitaxel has similar response rate and less adverse reaction versus the standard 3-weekly paclitaxel. Paclitaxel chemothrepy would be more popular for cervical cancer patients.

    Abstract ( 2213 )   PDF (215KB) ( 4730 )  
    Neoadjuvant chemotherapy refers to systemic chemotherapy given to patients before local treatment
    (surgery or radiotherapy). Scholars from both China and abroad have explored the modality therapy for neoadjuvant
    chemotherapy combined with surgery or radiotherapy on cervical cancer over the last two decades and they have learned certain
    experiences in this area. But the status of this therapy is not clear yet and there is no consensus on how to choose its
    appropriate chemotherapy protocol. The latest therapeutic progress of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the effect of various
    regimens, and their development trends now are being reviewed.

    The Progress on the Transport of Fetal and Mature
    WU Dong-ling;MA Qing-liang;HU Ke
    2009, 36 (5):  384-386. 
    Abstract ( 2316 )   PDF (198KB) ( 4779 )  
    Thyroid hormone (TH) is essential for the normal development and metabolism of different tissues,
    and also is also vital for fetal development and pregnancy. There is evidence that maternal thyroid hormones can cross the
    human placenta and act to modulate fetal endocrine system development before the onset of the fetus’s own thyroid hormone
    production. The transport of thyroid hormones has now been shown to require specific transporter proteins, and as yet few data
    are available to define the important transporting proteins in the human placenta. To date, members of the organic anion-
    transporting polypeptide, L-type amino acid, and of the monocarboxylate transporter families, sodium iodide symporter, have
    been identified as thyroid hormone transporters. However, further research is necessary to determine the role of these and
    other proteins in placental transport of thyroid hormone, and to investigate how modulations of their function could affect
    fetal pathologies such as intrauterine growth restriction, abortion, implantation failure and embryonal, fetal death.

    Toll Like Receptor and Gene Polymorphisms and Preterm Birth
    DUAN Li-jun;ZENG Wei-yue
    2009, 36 (5):  387-390. 
    Abstract ( 2328 )   PDF (226KB) ( 4792 )  
    Toll like receptors (TLRs) have been identified as transmembrane signal transduction proteins in
    recent years. As a group of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), TLRs are important regulators of the innate immune
    response based on their ability to recognize and respond to pathogen-associated molecular patterns expressed by
    microbes. Genetic polymorphisms affect the susceptibility of individuals and single nucleotide polymorphisms of TLR
    genes, which are associated with the inflammatory responses and susceptibility to infectious diseases. With the development of
    reproductive immunology, relevant studies of TLRs and their gene polymorphism and preterm birth have been gradually carried
    out, providing new concepts and ideas for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of premature cases.

    Abstract ( 2645 )   PDF (216KB) ( 4782 )  
    Preterm delivery is one of the main causes for perinatal complications and death. Many literatures focus
    on preterm prediction study and evaluate every predictor. The predictors include cervical length and the size of some of fetal
    organs measured by ultrasound; the level of fFN, IGFBP-1, IL investigated in cervicovaginal fluid, serum relaxin, CRP and
    HbA1c in mother’s blood, MMP-8, MCP-1 and ITAC in amniotic fluid which correlated with infection. The purpose of these studies
    is to find some more reliable factors to predict preterm delivery and improve the perinatal quality.

    Risk Factors for Ectopic Pregnancy
    XU Hong;LIN Jun;WU Rui-jin
    2009, 36 (5):  394-397. 
    Abstract ( 2388 )   PDF (226KB) ( 4936 )  
    Ectopic pregnancy(EP) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester of
    pregnancy. The incidence of EP has been rising for several decades, so recognition of it′s risk factors could help to
    facilitate early diagnosis, treatment and prevention. In the researches of our country and abroad, the associated risk factors
    for EP mainly include pelvic inflammatory diseases (PID), previous abdominal surgeries, cigarette smoking, previous EP, a
    history of infertility, the use of assisted reproductive technique, the failure of contraception, abortion, and the the older
    maternal age et al. And while PID, previous tubal surgery and cigarette smoking are considerd to be the most common three risk
    factors. Yet, EP is always accompanied by one or more risk factors.

    Soluble Endoglin and Preeclampsia
    HE Yao;DONG Min-yue
    2009, 36 (5):  398-400. 
    Abstract ( 3146 )   PDF (190KB) ( 4930 )  
    Soluble endoglin(sEng, sCD105)is a 65 ku serum protein and its aminoacid sequence corresponds to N-
    terminal soluble structure of full-length endoglin. It may be shed by membrane type matrix metalloprotease-1(MT1-MMP). The
    serum level of sEng was elevated in preeclamptic individuals and correlated with disease severity and gestational weeks.
    Besides, it was elevated 6-10 weeks before the onset of preeclampsia. sEng blocks transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-
    mediated formation of human umbilical vein endothelial tubes in vitro and induces vascular permeability and hypertension in
    pregnant rats in vivo. The research of the effect of sEng in preeclampsia is one of the recent progresses in the pathogenesis
    of preeclampsia.

    Research Advancement of ABCA3
    MA Xiao-jing;XU Yong-ping
    2009, 36 (5):  405-407. 
    Abstract ( 2509 )   PDF (199KB) ( 4945 )  
    The ABCA3 gene, of the ABCA subclass of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, is expressed
    exclusively in lung and is located on chromosome 16p13.3. It spans over 80 000 nucleotide bases and is transcribed into an
    approximately 6 500-bp mRNA, which directs the synthesis of a 1704-amino-acid protein of 190 kDa size. ABCA3 mediates the
    translocation of a wide variety of substrates, including lipids, across cellular membranes. It does not only cause multidrug
    resistance but also causes a neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and increase susceptibility to milder forms of
    interstitial lung disease. ABCA3 variants might result deficiency or reduction of ABCA3 protein expression. Sometimes the
    protein expressed in the correct amount and location, but does not function properly. These conditions may influence the
    process and transportion of surfactant proteins B and C, break the pulmonary surfactant phospholipid homeostasis, and induce
    to the neonatal lung diseases.
