Objective To compare the therapeutic effects with different dosages of sertraline on patients suffering from idiopathic premature ejaculation. Methods IIEF-5 and CIPE questionnaires were completed before the treatment, and 86 patients who met the diagnostic standard of idiopathic premature ejaculation were finally recruited. Subjects were administered sertraline 50 mg/d combined with behavior therapy at stage Ⅰ for 4 weeks. Then, according to the therapeutic effects and the adverse events, all of the patients were divided into 3 groups for stage Ⅱ (another 4 weeks) as ①subjects with good effectiveness but with no or slight adverse events,would continue the treatments ②subjects with no therapeutic effects and with no obvious adverse events were allowed to increase the dosage of sertraline to 100 mg/d;③patients with effectiveness and obvious adverse events were al follows:lowed to reduce the dosage of sertraline to 25 mg/d. Those who had obvious adverse events and no effectiveness quit the study. Results During stage Ⅰ , 63 of 86 patients were effective (73.3%), and 23 patients had no improvement (26. 7%). Thirty-three patients had adverse events (38. 4%), and the remaining 53 patients had no obvious adverse events (61.6%). During stage Ⅱ , of the patients that responded to treatment, 35 patients who had no adverse events and 12 who had slight adverse events continued the treatment. Furthermore, 16 with intolerable adverse events were allowed to reduce the dosage to 25 mg/d. Meanwhile, of those without improvement, 18 subjects without obviousadverse events were allowed to increase the dosage to 100 mg/d, and 5 patients discontinued the treatment. Eight weeks later, among the patients taking 50 mg/d, 47 subjects were effectively with no obvious adverse events. Among the patients taking 25 mg/d, 10 showed improvement, 6 showed no improvement, and 2 had tolerable slight adverse events. Among the patients taking sertraline 100 mg/d,8 witnessed effectiveness, 13 had tolerable adverse events and 2 discontinued the treatment, with 1 having neither effectiveness nor obvious adverse events. The adverse events rate was 21.0% and the total effective rate of 8 weeks of treatment was 80.2 %. Conclusions Sertraline administration is an effective and safe way to treat idiopathic premature ejaculation. Although the effectiveness of the individualized treatment had no obvious improvement comparing routine therapy, there was a notable reduction in the adverse events rate, which increased the patient compliance.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect,as well as the safety,of on-demand sildenafil on men with idiopathic ED.Methods One hundred and four men who met the diagnosis criteria of idiopathic ED were recruited into 2 groups.Among them,46 men who refused or were reluctant to take pharmacotherapy were recruited into the clinical control group with instruction of sexual knowledge and skills.Fifty-eight men who were involved in the on-demand group,were administrated sildenafil 50 mg just 1h before the coitus at thebeginning,then,if needed adjusted the dosage according to the effect and tolerance of the first four administration.The questionnaire of IIEF-5 was completed at the baseline and the end point,and the clinic total effective rate,the fully recovery rate of ED and the adverse events were also evaluated at the end of administration.Both groups were treated for 3 months.The therapeutic effect was reevaluated 1 month and 3 months later,respectively.Results After 3 months treatment,scores of IIEF-5 at the baseline and the end point for control group and on-demand group were as follow:5.2 and 12.6,4.2 and 19.8 ;and the fully recovery rate of ED for each group were as follow:12 (26.1%),56 (96.6%) ; the total effective rate for each group were 27.7%,97.2% ; 1 month and 3 months after the end point,the fully recovery rate of ED and the total effective rate were evaluated separately,for 1 month:8 (17.4%),56(96.6%) and 19.4%,97.1%; for 3 months:7 (15.2%),55 (94.8%) and 16.4%,96.4%.The side effects in on-demand group (16,27.6%) was little higher than the control group (5,10.9%) (P >0.05).Most of the side effects were not only subtle and transient but also would vanish with the time.Accordingly,no one discontinued because of side effects.Conclusions Treatment of idiopathic ED with sildenafil was effective and safe.In terms of the fully recovery rate,total effective rate and effect maintenance,the on-demand group at the end point,even 1 month and 3 months after the end point,showed a great advantage over the control group.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal myelolipoma. Methods Accord-ing to the clinical characteristics and follow-up outcomes,Adrenal myelolipoma 15 patients confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analysed. Of the 15 patients, 11 presented with abdominal or flank pain, of which 3 presented with hypertention,4 presented no symptom. The diagnosis could be made with the aid of ultrasonography,CT and MRI. Results 15 patients underwent surgery, postoperative followed up from 6 months to 7 years, no reccurrence ever noted. Conclusions The diagnosis of adrenal myelolipoma could he established hased on B-US,CT or MRI. The final diagnosis depends on pathology. The operation should be performed as soon as possible if the symptom is severe or the size of tumor is lager than 3.5cm in diameter.

Objective:To explore the identification value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), cytokeratin 19 fragment (Cyfra211), thyroglobulin (TG), ferritin (Fer) and procalcitonin (PCT) in fine needle aspiration eluent in benign and malignant cervical nodules, and acquire the optimal diagnostic model.Methods:Three hundred and ninety-six single cervical nodule patients who underwent fine needle aspiration biopsy from August 2017 to August 2019 in the Center Hospital of Xiaogan City of Hubei Province were selected. The fine needle aspiration eluent levels of CEA, SCC-Ag, Cyfra211, TG, Fer and PCT were detected by electrogenerated chemiluminescence method. The results of cytopathological diagnosis were regard as "gold standard", and the diagnostic efficiency of single and combined indexes in fine needle aspiration eluent were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:Among the 396 patients, malignant nodules was in 101 cases, and benign nodules was in 295 cases. The fine needle aspiration eluent levels of CEA, SCC-Ag, Cyfra211, TG and Fer in patients with malignant nodules were significantly higher than those in patients with benign nodules: (27.73 ± 10.63) μg/L vs. (16.81 ± 8.18) μg/L, (1.59 ± 0.74) μg/L vs. (1.09 ± 0.83) μg/L, (3.31 ± 1.48) μg/L vs. (1.66 ± 0.59) μg/L, (144.96 ± 38.93) μg/L vs. (95.03 ± 47.23) μg/L and (191.18 ± 80.13) μg/L vs. (137.87 ± 63.22) μg/L, the PCT was significantly lower than that in patients with benign nodules: (0.61 ± 0.24) μg/L vs. (1.01 ± 0.52) μg/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The ROC curve analysis result showed that the CEA, Cyfra211 and TG had super diagnostic value (area under curve>0.7, Youden index>0.5); the area under curve of CEA, Cyfra211 combined with TG was significantly higher than other combined detection of 2 indexes ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The combined detection of CEA, Cyfra211 and TG in fine needle aspiration eluent can effectively distinguish the benign and malignant cervical nodules.
