Abstract
Objective: To explore the related factors and early predictors of persistent ectopic pregnancy (PEP) in patients with interstitial pregnancy after operation. Methods: The clinical data of patients with interstitial pregnancy who underwent surgery in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2013 to August 2021 were collected. Patients were divided into two groups according to whether PEP occurred (8 patients in PEP group and 124 patients in non-PEP group). Using propensity score matching (PSM) analysis, the basic data, surgical methods, the ratio of postoperative to preoperative serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), the duration of when the serum β-hCG had decreased to normal after the operation were compared and analyzed to find the related factors of PEP after interstitial pregnancy surgery. The sensitivity and specificity of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG in predicting postoperative PEP were evaluated by drawing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results: Before PSM, the ages of patients in PEP group and non-PEP group were (30.0±4.0) and (32.4±5.0) years old, respectively, P>0.05. After PSM, 8 PEP patients in the study group and 29 patients in the control group were matched successfully, and the ages of the two groups were (30.0±4.0) and (30.1±3.2) years old, respectively, P>0.05. After PSM, there was no significant difference in gravidity, parity, menopausal days, preoperative β-hCG level and maximum diameter of lesions, all P>0.05. After PSM, the proportion of patients with maximum diameter ≤ 2.6 cm in PEP group (6/8) was significantly higher than that in control group (31.0%, 9/29), P=0.025. The median (Q1, Q3) of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG ratio was 52.9% (49.9%, 59.7%) in the PEP group, which was significantly higher than 31.5% (23.8%, 39.0%) in the control group (P=0.001); The median (Q1, Q3) of duration of when the serum β-hCG had decreased to normal after the operation in PEP group was 52.0 (34.8, 92.0) d, which was significantly higher than 24.0 (20.5, 31.0) d in control group (P<0.001). The ROC-Area Under Curve of the ratio of 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG to preoperative β-hCG ratio for predicting postoperative PEP in the two groups was 0.892 (95%CI: 0.725-1.000, P=0.001). The cut-off value for predicting PEP was 48.5%, where the diagnostic sensitivity was 87.5%, the specificity was 93.1%. Conclusions: In the operation of interstitial pregnancy, the maximum diameter of lesion ≤ 2.6 cm is a related factor for postoperative PEP. There was no significant difference in the risk of PEP between cornuotomy and cornectomy. The ratio that 24-48 hours postoperative β-hCG/preoperative β-hCG ratio greater than 48.5% was a reference index for predicting postoperative PEP and guiding treatment.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of a non-invasive sampling method by collecting menstrual blood and obtaining endometrium for further research in menstruation-related diseases. Methods: On the second day of menstruation, menstrual blood was collected with menstrual cups for 4 hours, and the menstrual endometrium was filtered through a metal screen for weighing, cryopreserved, immunohistochemical staining and cell culture. Results: The collection process was painless and non-invasive. In the control group, the menstrual volume was (9.1±0.7) ml, and the endometrial tissue weight was (91.0±14.7) g. In the endometriosis group, the menstrual volume was (9.6±1.9) ml (P=0.022), and the endometrial tissue weight was (134.7±43.9) g (P=0.057). Endometrial cell culture was successful in all patients and should not be contaminated. The growth curve was a finite cell line type. The expression of cytokeratin 19 and vimentin in menstrual endometrium and cells were positive. Conclusions: By collecting menstrual blood and filtering endometrial tissue, it is an ideal non-invasive sampling method. In combination with advanced experimental technology, menstrual endometrium make further researches of endometriosis, endometrial lesions or other menstruation-related diseases possible.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis and treatments of pelvic abscess with endometriosis. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 129 cases of pelvic abscess in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to January 2016. Among them, 34 women with endometriosis were divided into the study group and the others were in the control group. The clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimens and outcomes were compared. Results: (1) General conditions: there were no statistic differences between the two groups in age, WBC, serum CA(125), intrauterine device in use, pelvic inflammatory disease history; while incidence rates of dysmenorrhea (65%, 22/34) and infertility (21%, 7/34) in the study group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (2) Clinical manifestations: fever, abdominal pain and pelvic mass were the main symptoms in two groups. The incidence rates of septic shock were 12% (4/34) in the study group and 2% (2/95) in the control group (P<0.05). (3) Treatment: treatment with puncture all failed in the study group (7/7) and surgeries were required. In contrast, there was only 1/19 treatment failure with puncture in the control group. The puncture failure rates were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the study group and the control group, there were significant differences (P<0.05) in the operation time of laparoscopic surgery [(76±41) versus (53±21) minutes] and of laparotomy [(168±58) versus (116±35) minutes], intra-operative blood loss of laparoscopic surgery [(216±296) versus (43±36) ml] and of laparotomy [(448±431) versus (145±24) ml]. Conclusions: Pelvic abscess in women with endometriosis is more severe and refractory to antibiotics and puncture treatment. Active surgical intervention is required. Although surgical procedures are often difficult, prognosis is comparatively satisfied.

Abstract
C-erbB-2 (HER-2/neu) proto-oncogene is mainly expressed in epithelial tissue and activated due to its amplification. Amplification of the C-erbB-2 proto-oncogene is associated with poor prognosis in human ovarian cancer. We examined whether amplification of C-erbB-2 is common in ovarian carcinoma or is associated with poor prognosis. The DNA of ovarian carcinoma was extracted and consequently digested with restriction endonuclease EcoRI, electrophoresed in 0.8% agarose gels and blotted onto nitrocellulose filter with Southern transfering method. It was hybridized with a 32p-labelled C-erbB-2 probe and subsequently underwent autoradiography. It was shown that the C-erbB-2 (HER-2/neu) gene was amplified in 8 of 26 human ovarian carcinomas (30.8%). Clinically the 8 patients with the amplified C-erbB-2 were in their advanced stage (III-IV). Five of the patients died from 2 to 4 months after operation. These findings suggest that amplification of the C-erbB-2 gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of ovarian carcinoma, it is frequently observed in advanced ovarian carcinoma and associated with poor prognosis for these patients.

Amplification of the C-erbB-2 proto-oncogene has been associated with poor prognosis in human ovarian cancer. Our study was to examine whether amplification is more frequently observed in ovarian cancer, or it is associated with poor prognosis of human ovarian cancer in China. The DNA of ovarian cancers was extracted and consequently digested with restriction endonuclease EcoRI, electrophoresed in 0.8% agarose gels and blotted onto nitrocellulose filter with Southern transferring method. It was then hybridized with a 32P-labelled C-erbB-2 probe and subsequently underwent autoradiography. The result has shown that the C-erbB-2(HER-2/neu) gene was amplified in 8 of 26 human ovarian cancers (30.8%). The clinical data showed that all of the 8 cases with the amplified C-erbB-2 were in their advanced stage (III-IV). Five of the patients died from 2 to 4 months after operation. These data suggest that amplification of the C-erbB-2 gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of ovarian carcinoma; it is frequently observed in advanced ovarian cancer and is associated with poor prognosis for these patients.
