ABSTRACT
Vertebral hemangiomas are common spinal benign tumors.Most of them are asymptomatic and require no treatment.A few of these symptoms require conservative or surgical treatment.Surgical treatment of the current standard uniform is inconclusive,including percutaneous radiofrequency ablation,percutaneous arterial embolization,percutaneous vertebroplasty,posterior decompression,reconstruction of vertebral fusion and the combined use of various surgical techniques.With the progress of medical technology,minimally invasive surgery and multi-operation combined treatment of symptomatic vertebral hemangioma have been paid more and more attention.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety and effect of one-way barbs line (absorbable sutures v - locTM180) in primary suturing of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy. Methods From July 2014 to June 2015, clinical data of 86 cases performed primary suturing in laparoscopic choledocholithotomy by the same performer were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups, One-way barbs line continuous full-thickness suture group (A group), ordinary absorption line continuous full-thickness suture group (B group) and ordinary absorption line discontinuous full-thickness suture group (C group). The bile duct suture needed time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, postoperative hospital stay and postoperative bile fistula were compared. Results All the 86 cases underwent successful operation without T tube, and none of them received alternative open operation. Compared with group B and C, time needed for bile duct suturing in A group have statistical significance. There was no significant difference in the intraoperative blood loss, postoperative eating time, postoperative hospital stay between the three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of postoperative bile fistula in A group were none. The incidence of postoperative bile fistula in B group was 1 case, the incidence of postoperative bile fistula in C group was 2 cases.Conclusions The method of one-way barbs line continuous full-thickness suture were simple and secure in primary suturing of laparoscopic choledocholithotomy.
ABSTRACT
Background: Recent studies showed that inappropriate expression of microRNAs [miRNAs] is strongly associated with tumor-related processes in humans [2-9,11-17]
Objective: To understand the changes of miRNAs in endometriosis
Materials and Methods: With real-time RT-PCR, we investigated the miR-143 and miR-145 expression in eutopic [EU, n=2] and ectopic endometrium [EC, n=11] [from women with endometriosis] [as well as EU+EC, n=11], along with the normal endometrium [EN, n=22] [from women without endometriosis, but with leiomyoma]
Results: We did not find that the expression of miR-143 and/or miR-145 in EN or EC changed with menstrual cycle. But our results showed the miR-143 was up-regulated in EC [p=0.000] compared to EN. The miR-143 was also up-regulated in EU, but the difference did not reach statistically significance [p=0.053]. Compared to EU, the expression of miR-143 in EC was up-regulated [p=0.016]. MiR-145 had the similar characteristic to miR-143. The miR-145 was up-regulated in both EU [p=0.004] and EC [p=0.000] in compared to EN group. When compared with EU, the miR-145 in EC was up-regulated [p=0.008]
Conclusion: In conclusion, the miR-143 and miR-145 may play a certain role in the development and progression of endometriosis
