A simple cardiac contractility computer

A single-purpose analogue-computing device is described for the online assessment of the contractile state of the human myocardium from the left ventricular pressure (P_lv) data available during routine cardiac catheterisation. Due attention has been paid to the design of the computer circuits so that they will not process pressure phenomena outside the isovolumic contractile period. Either a \(\left( {\frac{1}{{P_{lv} }}\frac{{dP_{lv} }}{{dt}}} \right)_{max} \) or a plain \(\left( {\frac{{dP_{lv} }}{{dt}}} \right)_{max} \) index is presented on a digitalvoltmeter display, thus obviating the need for any graphical extrapolation or additional computation.     

Effects of a diet rich in Q-3 fatty acids on left ventricular geometry and dynamics in spontaneously hypertensive rats

Summary The aim of the present study was to investigate the chronic effects of a dietetic antihypertensive treatment on blood pressure, ventricular dynamics and geometry of the pressure loaded heart. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) received a standard diet enriched with 10% mackerel oil, containing 30% polyunsaturated Q-3 fatty acids, over a period of 70 days. As described previously the diet reduced blood pressure permanently by 40-50 mm Hg. Despite this reduction, the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy was only slightly (statistically insignificantly) reduced. This was probably a result of an increase in sympathetic tone as indicated by a raised pulse rate. On the other hand, the treatment prevented the development of eccentric hypertrophy, typical to the SHR, without changing the elastic material properties of the myocardium. Since the age-matched controls did not show significant degenerative alterations, protective effects at the level of myocardial tissue could not be demonstrated. Furthermore, future investigations need to investigate why myocardial contractility of the treated animals diminishes as observed in this study.     

The role of the uterus in reproductive behavior

The uterus plays a major role in reproductive physiology. Numerous studies have shown that estradiol and progesterone exert their effects by binding to receptors within the cytoplasm of uterine cells and translocating these receptors to the nuclei where they presumably alter genomic activity. The extent of the steroid-receptor interaction in the cytoplasm and the nucleus is well correlated with uterine growth. Other physiological changes that take place in the uterus are also correlated with variations in the cytoplasmic and nuclear steroid receptor levels observed during different stages of reproductive cycle. In the rat, the uterus also exerts an inhibitory effect on the hormone-induced maternal and copulatory behaviors. Hysterectomy shortens the latency for the induction of maternal behavior and enhances sexual receptivity and proceptivity in ovariectomized, hormone treated rats. The mechanism of this inhibitory effect is not fully understood; however, it seems that the steroid binding capacity of the uterus mediates its behavioral influence. Thus when this capacity is reduced, as evidenced by lower levels of cytoplasmic estrogen receptors in long-term gonadectomized animals, the uterus loses its inhibitory effect on copulatory behavior.     

一氧化氮合酶(NOS)与子宫内膜关系的研究进展

女性子宫内膜在女性生殖生理功能方面担负着月经形成、胚胎着床、妊娠维持、激素分泌等重要作用。自从1995年Telfer首次发现人子宫内膜中NOS(N itric Oxide Synthase)mRNA和其蛋白的存在后,近年来越来越多的研究表明NO(N itric Oxide)在女性生殖过程中扮演着重要的角色。本文将就NOS在子宫内膜的活性表达,及其与子宫内膜关系的研究作一综述。

Optimizing the embryo transfer technique

The technique of embryo transfer is very crucial and great attention and time should be given to this step. In order to optimize the embryo transfer technique, several precautions should be taken. The first and most important is to avoid the initiation of uterine contractility. This can be achieved by the use of soft catheters, gentle manipulation and by avoiding touching the fundus. Secondly, proper evaluation of the uterine cavity and utero-cervical angulation is very important, and can be achieved by performing dummy embryo transfer and by ultrasound evaluation of the utero-cervical angulation and uterine cavity length. Another important step is the removal of cervical mucus so that it does not stick to the catheter and inadvertently remove the embryo during catheter withdrawal. Finally, one has to be absolutely sure that the embryo transfer catheter has passed the internal cervical os and that the embryos are delivered gently inside the uterine cavity.     

Sequential Measurements of Human Decidua-Associated Protein (hDP) 200 in the Uterine Fluid During the Menstrual Cycle

PROBLEM: To examine the relationship between the concentration of uterine fluid human decidua-associated protein (hDP) 200, identified as a monoclonal rheumatoid factor, and different phases of the menstrual cycle. METHODS: Sequential measurements of hDP 200 concentration in uterine fluid were performed in 11 normal ovulatory women, aged 22–36 years. The samples were collected in early proliferative phase, late proliferative phase, periovulatory period, early secretory phase, and late secretory phase. RESULTS: Consistent fluctuations of hDP 200 levels in uterine fluid were found throughout the menstrual cycle. High levels were found during early proliferative phase and periovulatory period related to significantly lower levels during late proliferative and early luteal phases. CONCLUSION: There is menstrual phase dependent variation in the uterine fluid levels of hDP 200.     

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the uterine cervix with cytogenetic analysis by comparative genomic hybridization: a case study

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the uterine cervix is a newly introduced category of the revised World Health Organization classification. We reported a case of cervical LCNEC with cytogenetic analysis by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The cervical tumor showed moderately increased mitotic activity (8-14 mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields) and focal necrosis, which made it problematic to differentiate from atypical carcinoid. CGH analysis failed to detect chromosome 11q loss that has been reported to be characteristic of pulmonary atypical carcinoids. Furthermore, chromosome 3q amplification, which has been detected frequently in pulmonary small cell carcinomas and LCNECs but not in pulmonary typical and atypical carcinoids, was the most remarkable chromosomal aberration. Although CGH reports are extremely rare in neuroendocrine tumors of the uterine cervix, specific chromosomal aberrations may be useful in their distinction.
