细胞周期调控基因p21和p27单核苷酸多态性与卵巢上皮性癌的关系

目的 探讨细胞周期调控基因p21和p27的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)与卵巢上皮性癌(卵巢癌)发病风险的关系.方法 采用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)方法检测234例卵巢癌患者(卵巢癌组)和284例健康妇女(对照组)p21基因C/T和p27基因V/G SNP位点基因型和等位基因的频率分布.结果 (1)对照组妇女p21基因的C/C、C/T和T/T基因型频率分别为34.2%、49.6%和16.2%,C和T等位基因频率分别为59.0%和41.0%;卵巢癌组患者3种基因型频率分别为28.2%、53.0%和18.8%,C和T等位基因频率分别为54.7%和45.3%.两组基因型频率和等位基因频率分别比较,差异均无统计学意义(P＞0.05).3种基因型频率在4种病理类型的卵巢癌中的分布有明显差异(P=0.02),C/C基因型降低子宫内膜样癌的发病风险(OR为0.56,95%CI为0.32～0.98).(2)对照组妇女p27基因V/V、V/G和G/G基因型频率分别为88.4%、10.9%租0.7%,V和G等位基因频率分别为93.8%和6.2%;卵巢癌组患者的基因型频率分别为93.6%、5.1%和1.3%,V和G等位基因频率分别为96.2%和3.8%.两组基因型频率分布比较,差异有统计学意义(P=0.04),等位基因频率分布比较,差异则无统计学意义(P=0.09).与V/G和G/G基因型比较,V/V基因型增加卵巢癌的发病风险(OR为1.92,95%CI为1.02～3.63).结论 p21基因C/T多态性的C/C基因型可能降低子宫内膜样癌的发病风险,p27基因的V/V基因型可能是卵巢癌发病的潜在危险因素.     

Pregnancy after bariatric surgery: a comprehensive review

Background Obesity continues to be a global epidemic, and strong evidence exists linking it with gestational complications such as macrosomia, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, and cesarean section. Bariatric surgery, a highly effective treatment for obesity, may prevent such complications in subsequent pregnancies. Objective This review seeks to describe the risks and benefits of post-bariatric procedure pregnancies, in comparison to both community and obese cohorts. Results A thorough review of the literature suggests that post-surgery women are not at increased risk for poor perinatal outcomes, and moreover their risks for many obesity-related gestational complications are reduced after bariatric surgery. Data regarding fertility after bariatric surgery are quite ambiguous, however, and studies exist demonstrating both positive and negative associations between weight loss procedures and fertility. Conclusions Clinicians should be aware that data collected on this subject were often gathered from post-op pregnant women provided with good prenatal care and screening for nutritional deficiencies. Although pregnancy after bariatric surgery appears to be safe, providers should take extra care to properly monitor their post-op pregnant patients for appropriate weight gain and nourishment.     

Assessment of the response to chemotherapy in gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with vaginal metastases

Background and goals  This study is designed to survey gestational trophoblastic neoplasia with vaginal metastases (GTN + VM) manifestations, prognosis and chemotherapy response in order to consider appropriate chemotherapy regimen for these patients. There have been just a few studies about treatment of GTN + VM. Materials and methods  Patients with Stage III GTN with or without vaginal metastases who had referred to Vali-e-Asr Hospital during 1996–2006 have been selected to take part in this study and the size of metastases was measured. Then response and resistance to single and combination chemotherapy regimens have been compared in these two groups. The data were processed using SPSS system (release 10). Statistical analysis was done with X² to determine factors associated with complete clinical response. The level of significance was assigned at P < .05. Results  Forty-eight patients with stage III (with pulmonary metastases) GTN patients have been selected, 13 with vaginal metastases and 35 without vaginal metastases. Incidence of vaginal metastases in stage III was 26%. Metastases were mainly in distal part of vagina and suburethra. Chief complaint was severe hemorrhage in 25% of patients and was controlled by vaginal packing with just one exception. Group of vaginal metastases showed 66.6% resistance to first-line chemotherapy, compared to 28.6% in patients with no vaginal metastases (P-value = 0.010). Median of chemotherapy courses in low-risk vaginal metastatic patients was 5 (mean = 5.2), compared to three courses in the group without vaginal metastases. Resistance to single chemotherapy was significantly higher in GTN + VM versus GTN without VM patients and resistance was higher especially in patients with metastases with more than 3 cm (in diameter). Conclusions  Vaginal metastasis with more than 3 cm in diameter is an important prognostic factor in GTN patients. There have higher risks for severe hemorrhage and resistance to single agent chemotherapy, so in these patients combination chemotherapy, with no regard to staging and scoring, would be a better choice.

Magnetic resonance imaging and hysteroscopy to diagnose colo-uterine fistula: a rare complication of diverticulitis

Colo-uterine fistula of diverticular origin is an extremely rare disease due to the resistance of uterine tissue. Methods for diagnosis remain to be established. Non-invasive imaging like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may help to establish a proper diagnosis, but confirmation may be reached by diagnostic hysteroscopy or even surgical exploration. We report a 78-year-old female who presented with continuous dull aching pain associated with increasing constipation. MRI suspected a fistula between the posterior aspect of the uterine body and the sigmoid colon which contained extensive diverticulosis. Hysteroscopy confirmed the fistulous opening, but colonoscopy confirmed diverticular disease with no evidence of malignancy. The patient had en block surgical treatment of the uterus and the adjacent colon, followed by an uneventful recovery. The sensitivity and specificity of non-invasive imaging procedures to diagnose such cases remain to be established. As imaging procedures cannot rule out neoplasia, endoscopic procedures need to be added.

2型糖尿病患者降血糖治疗前后血皮质醇浓度的变化及其临床意义

目的探讨2型糖尿病患者血糖控制前后血皮质醇浓度的变化及其临床意义。方法应用放射免疫法测定76例2型糖尿病患者高血糖状态下及血糖良好控制4个月后晨8时、下午4时和午夜0时的血清皮质醇(F)浓度。结果2型糖尿病各组治疗前、后皮质醇昼夜节律基本存在;高血糖状态下,晨8时、下午4时和午夜0时皮质醇浓度与对照组比较显著升高(P<0.01);血糖良好控制4个月后病程短、无慢性并发症者均恢复至正常范围,病程长、有慢性并发症者皮质醇未能良好恢复。结论2型糖尿病患者一定程度上存在皮质醇分泌功能紊乱,应动态观察其变化。
