ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the changes in anterior chamber structure of pelvic floor before and after total hysterectomy with transperineal ultrasonography.Methods Forty-five patients who would receive total hysterectomy were enrolled.The structures of the anterior pelvic floor were observed with transperineal ultrasonography 1 day pre-operation and 1,3 and 6 months after operation.The parameters at rest and max Valsalva were recorded and calculated,including the bladder neck-symphyseal distance (BSD),bladder neck descent (BND),urethral rotation angle (UR) and posterior urethrovesical angle (PUA).The changes of the parameters at different time were analyzed statistically.Results BSD at max Valsalva,BND,UR and PUA at max Valsalva at different time were significantly different (all P＜0.05).Compared with those preoperative,BSD at max Valsalva decreased (H=2.627,P=0.009) and BND increased (q=-3.095,P=0.002) 3 months after operation,BSD at max Valsalva decreased (H=4.379,P＜0.001),BND (q=-4.379,P＜ 0.001),UR (H=-2.861,P=0.004) and PUA at max Valsalva (q=-2.686,P=0.007) increased 6 months after operation.The remaining parameters were not significantly different between every two time points (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The changes of BSD,BND at max Valsalva,UR and PUA at max Valsalva occur at the initial period after the total hysterectomy.The total hysterectomy can damage the pelvic floor and early pelvic floor rehabilitation need to he provided.
ABSTRACT
To obtain and analyze the sequence of the nucleocapsid gene from bovine coronavirus, and to produce the fusion protein of the N gene in E.coli in order to use this recombinant protein for the study of bovine coronavirus. The N gene of BCV-DQ strain was amplified by RT-PCR, in which the primers were designed on the basis of N gene sequence of BCV-Mebus strain. The PCR products of 1 347 bp in length were cloned and sequenced, and then inserted into the prokaryotic vector pET30a. The recombinant plasmids were then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot assay. ELISA assay was optimized of N protein as the coating antigen to detect the viruses in the clinical samples. In comparison with 6 BCV strains in GenBank, the sequence identity was proved to be more than 98.3%. Result in SDS-PAGE showed that the fusion protein had a molecular weight of 60 ku, and could be specifically recognized by mouse serum against BCV. The indirect ELISA was used to test 256 serum samples collected from Heilongjiang province and 65.23% samples were positive. On testing field samples, an overall agreement of 95.31% was generated between the the neutralization test of viruses (VN) and indirect ELISA. It is apparent that the N gene was highly conservative and is expressed in E. coli in high level,also the prokaryotic expression products of this gene show a fine reactiongenicity in immune responses. It was also suggested that the N protein may be a useful antigen for sero-diagnosis and epidemiological investigation of BCV.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relation between the dissection structure of umbilical cord artery and blood flow indices and fetus′ growth. Methods By color Doppler ultrasound, the diameter of umbilical cord and umbilical artery and umbilical vein was measured to compute surface area. The umbilical cord was divided into three parts: placenta affixing part, floating part and umbilical surrounding part.Their blood flow indices were measured and compared. Results Umbilical cord′s diameter in 21-40 weeks′ gestation was ( 1.25 ? 0.21 ) to ( 1.50 ? 0.18 )cm, surface area was ( 1.26 ? 0.13 ) to ( 1.83 ? 0.47 )cm 2.Umbilical artery′s diameter was ( 0.28 ? 0.06 ) to ( 0.40 ? 0.09 )cm, its surface area was ( 0.06 ? 0.03 ) to ( 0.14 ? 0.06 )cm 2.Umbilical vein′s diameter was ( 0.54 ? 0.11 ) to ( 0.79 ? 0.11 )cm, its surface area was ( 0.25 ? 0.02 ) to ( 0.49 ? 0.15 )cm 2. Before 25 weeks′ gestation, the blood flow indices of umbilical artey of placenta affixing part were lower than those of other two parts(P 0.05 ).Conclusions The diameter and surface area of umbilical and umbilical artery and umbilical vein were growing in pace with gestation, biparietal diameter,frontoccipital diameter, and heand circumference of the fetus,the blood flow indices of umbilical artery goes down continuously.The blood flow indices of umbilical artery of placenta affixing part reflect the fetus′ growth.
