ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the diagnostic value of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial biopsy for malignant obstructive jaundice.Methods Data of 42 cases suspected of malignant obstructive jaundice who underwent percutaneous transhepatic cholangial biopsy and percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) were retrospectively analyzed.And during the examination,the biopsy tissues were obtained for pathology.Results The pathologic results were obtained successfully in 41 of 42 cases and the success rate of operation was 97.62％ (41/42).There were 31 cases with positive results.The positive rate was 73.81％ (31/42).In 12 cases diagnosed as distal biliary tract obstruction by percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC),positive pathology results were found in 3 cases;the positive rate was 25.00％ (3/12).In 30 cases diagnosed as perihilar biliary tract obstruction by PTC,positive pathology results were found in 28 cases;the positive rate was 93.33％ (28/30).The accuracy of perihilar biliary tract obstruction was higher than that of distal biliary tract obstruction (x2=20.704,P＜0.05).In all 42 cases,there were no severe complications during or after surgery.In the 31 cases with positive biopsy pathological results,6 cases underwent surgery after improved liver function.The postsurgical pathological results were agree with biopsy pathological results.Conclusion Percutaneous transhepatic cholangial biopsy is safe and efficient for malignant obstructive jaundice.The successful rate and positive rate are high,especially for perihilar biliary tract obstruction.
ABSTRACT
Objective To probe the X-ray imaging features and clinical manifestations of some rare diseases in male breast.Methods The data of 12 patients with some rare diseases in male breast were collected.The X-ray manifestations and clinical features of the diseases were analyzed.Results The postoperative pathology showed the lipogranuloma in 1 patient,plasma cell mastitis in 2,secondary infection of epidermal cyst in 1,intraductal papilloma in 1,breast cancer in 6 (invasive ductal carcinoma in 4,poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma in 1,and mucinous carcinoma in 1),and breast lymphoma in 1.The digital mammography showed the intramammary solitary masses in 1 1 and multiple ones in 1.10 masses were located at the rear of the areola,and other 2 were opposite.Unclear edge of the lesion was found in 9,spiculation in 1,lobulation in 1,and micro-calcification in 1.Nipple retraction and areola skin thickening in 10 and enlarged axillary lymph node in 1 were also found.The total accurate rate of X-ray diagnosis was 41% (5/12),while that of breast cancer was 83.3%.The total misdiagnosis rate was 59% (7/12),and that of benign lesion was 80% (4/5).Conclusion The diseases in male breast are rare and various,and the X-ray and clinical manifestations are not specific.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the value of serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) on days 9 (d9) and 11 (d11) after fresh embryo transfer (ET) and frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in predicting the pregnancy outcomes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 227 fresh ET and FET cycles performed at the Center of Reproductive Medicine, Qingyuan People's Hospital between Dec, 2012 and Feb, 2014 were analyzed. The data of serum β-HCG levels on d9 and d11 after fresh ET and FET cycles and the pregnancy outcomes were reviewed, and the ROC curve was constructed to determine the optimal cut-off level of serum β-HCG level for predicting pregnancy outcomes.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>According to pregnancy outcomes, the cycles were divided into non-pregnancy group (group A), biochemical pregnancy group (group B), and clinical pregnancy group (group C). Significant differences were found between the mean serum β-HCG levels measured on d9 and d11 in all the 3 groups (P<0.01). The cycles in group C were further divided into 5 subgroups with single pregnancy (C1), twin pregnancy (C2), early abortion (C3), ectopic pregnancy (C4), or intrauterine pregnancy complicated with ectopic pregnancy group (C5), and all the 5 subgroups showed significant differences in β-HCG measurements between d9 and d11 (P<0.01). On d9 after ET and FET, the optimal cut-off level of serum β-HCG was 49.05 IU/L for predicting for clinical pregnancy, and was 105.15 IU/L for predicting twin pregnancy; the two corresponding cut-off levels of serum β-HCG on d11 was 51.2 IU/L and 241.75 IU/L, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The absolute serum β-HCG level on d9 and d11 after fresh ET and FET allows an accurate diagnosis of pregnancy and helps in the prediction of the pregnancy outcomes.</p>

Objective To estimate the clinical value of 4 methods of endometrium preparation for frozen‐thawed embryo transfer(FET ) cycle .Methods Total 320 FET cycles completed in center of reproductive medicine of Qingyuan people′s hospital from March 2013 to March 2015 were retrospectively analyzed ,and divided into 4 groups :natural cycle group(group A ,n=70) ,o‐vulation‐inducing cycle group(group B ,n=152) ,hormone replacement treatment(HRT) cycle group (group C ,n=74) ,down‐regu‐lated HRT cycle (group D ,n=24) .The pregnancy outcomes were followed and compared among these different 4 groups .Results In FET cycles ,the clinical pregnancy rates and implantation rates of group B ,group C and group D were significantly higher than that of group A (P0 .05) .However ,the rank of the FET cycle of group D was significantly higher than those of the other three groups(P<0 .05) .Conclusion In FET cycles ,the methods of ovulation‐inducing ,HRT and down‐reg‐ulated HRT all have favorable clinical outcomes ,and the method of down‐regulated HRT is more suitable for patients with previous implantation failure .
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to establish and evaluate obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) rat model. Rats were randomly divided into the blank control group, high-fat model group, insulin (INS) combined human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) model group, and INS combined HCG plus high fat emulsion model group. The obese PCOS rat model was induced by subcutaneous injection of INS and HCG on the nape, respectively. The intragastric administration of high fat emulsion was also used in the PCOS rat model establishment. The estrous cycle of rat was monitored. The detection was also made the weight increasing rate of rats, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), 2 h blood glucose and 2 h INS. Calculation was made on the HOMA index, related viscera index and bilateral ovaries HE staining. The results showed that when INS combined HCG improved method (INS combined HCG plus high fat emulsion model group) rats were sacrificed, the body weight, weight increasing rate, ovary viscera index, T, LH, and HOMA index were significantly higher than that of the blank control group, high-fat model group and INS combined HCG model group (P < 0.05,P < 0.01); HDL was significantly decreased (P < 0.05,P < 0.01). FPG, FINS, and 2 h INS of the INS combined HCG improved method group were significantly higher than that of the high-fat model group (P <0.01). It was concluded that INS combined HCG improved method was one of the ideal animal model establishment methods in the pathogenesis study of PCOS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship between the semen quality and age in infertile men in Qingyuan.Methods 727 cases of infertile men from Reproductive Medicine Center outpatient were enrolled and divided into 5 groups:≤ 25,> 25 - 30,>30-35,>35-40,>40 age groups.The semen characteristics were carried out by calculator assistance sperm analysis(CASA) technique and Diff-Quick staining method.Results The sperm density of >30 -35 age group was the highest,but there was no significantly difference from other groups(P >0.05).Semen analysis showed that the rates of PR,PR+NP and survival sperm were on downward trends with the increase of age,but not statistically significant(P >0.05).38.19% of >25 -30 age group reached WHO′s semen parameters standard,which was the highest proportion among 5 groups.And the proportion in >40 age group was the lowest,which counted for 27.42%.Conclusion The semen quality shows a down trend with the increase of age,however,the infertility could occur in the reproductive men at any stage.
