20?10~9/L. This regimen was given for one course for induction, and was followed by conventional chemotherapy as maintenance or consolidation when complete remission(CR) achieved, or succeeding with other treatment when no response could be observed. Results Six patients achieved CR (54.5%) and one achieved partial remission (PR)(9.1%) with one course of treatment. Among 6 of 11 patients with CR, 5 relapsed at 2,3,6,8 and 16 months respectively. Three relapsed patients were retreated with the same protocol but achieved only one partial responses. Nine of the 11 patients had been died and their mean survival (since induction chemotherapy) was 9.2 months. Infectious complications during cytopenia were less serious than conventional chemotherapy withno treatment-related.Conclusion This moderate intensity protocol with G-CSF priming is effective and safe but remissions are of short duration.

Objective To understand cognition level and treatment intention of patients with endometriosis(EMs);To evaluate the effects of TCM chronic disease management on EMs patients.Methods The disease cognition level and treatment intention of 1 895 EMs patients from October 2020 to December 2021 in 19 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities were analyzed through cross-sectional investigation.The cognitive effect of chronic disease management of TCM on 801 patients with EMs from 6 Grade A hospitals in Beijing was evaluated by self-control study.Results The cognition level of EMs patients for the disease was improved with the increase of educational background.Patients generally believed that EMs was a chronic disease,requiring regular review and long-term management.The proportion of patients with high school education or below,junior college education,bachelor degree or above who knew the possibility of malignant changes in EMs was less,only 32.3%,41.6%and 47.7%,respectively.The awareness rate of patients with high school education or below for recurrence after EMs conservative surgery was 46.9%,lower than that of those with junior college education(66.8%)and bachelor degree or above(72.7%).Among the patients with dietary contraindications,the proportion of patients with high school education or below,junior college education,bachelor degree or above who knew the contraindication of the forest frog oil was less,only 20.7%,30.3%and 32.9%,respectively.In the aspect of life adjustment,the awareness of patients was generally high.EMs patients mainly recognized the disease through face-to-face communication with gynecologists.Only 34.4%of patients with high school education or below learned about EMs through WeChat public accounts,APPs and other new media,which was lower than those with junior college education(48.6%)and bachelor degree or above(55.4%).EMs patients generally tend to be treated in comprehensive hospitals,with high acceptance of TCM treatment,mainly TCM decoction,and low acceptance of TCM appropriate technology.After 1 year of TCM chronic disease management,the disease awareness of EMs patients was significantly improved compared with before management,with statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion EMs patients with different educational backgrounds have different cognition of the disease,and each has different emphasis.Education and popularization should be carried out according to their knowledge blind spots.Chronic disease management of TCM can improve the disease cognition level of EMs patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the distribution and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes in patients with endometriosis (EMS). MethodA cross-sectional survey was conducted to analyze the characteristics of TCM syndromes in 1 895 cases of EMS in hospitals of 19 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities. ResultAmong the 1 895 patients, Qistagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for the highest proportion, followed by Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome, and kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. The distribution of TCM syndrome types of patients with EMS in different regions, different treatment stages, and different disease types and with different therapeutic goals was different, and the differences were statistically significant. However, under different conditions, the Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for the highest proportion. Under the stratification of different regions, the cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome in north China was relatively high, the kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in south China was relatively high, and the combined phlegm and stasis syndrome was relatively high in southwest China. Different diagnosis and treatment goals corresponded to different clinical syndromes. With pelvic pain as the main manifestation, the proportion of cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome was higher. The proportion of kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome was higher in married patients with infertility. Patients with the main diagnosis and treatment goals of controlling mass and inhibiting recurrence had a higher proportion of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome. In different treatment stages, the proportion of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome in postoperative patients and those with recurrent EMS was higher. Among different disease types, the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome accounted for a higher proportion in patients with ovarian endometriosis (OEM). The cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome accounted for a higher proportion in patients with deep invasive endometriosis (DIE). The kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome accounted for a higher proportion in patients with peritoneal EMS. There were significant differences in age, body mass index (BMI), and course of disease among patients with different syndromes. Patients with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome was relatively older, and their course of the disease was relatively long. Patients with combined phlegm and stasis syndrome had relatively high BMI. There was no significant difference in CA125 and CA199 levels among all syndrome types. ConclusionThe distribution of TCM syndromes of EMS has a certain regularity, and there are differences in regional distribution, therapeutic goals, treatment stages, and disease types(P<0.05). However, the Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome accounts for a large proportion under different conditions, suggesting that Qi stagnation is the key link of EMS. In the early stage, the team took relieving depression and activating blood as the primary treatment, and created Huoxue Xiaoyi prescription, which was the core prescription for the treatment of EMS with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, achieving good clinical effect. At the same time, it is emphasized that EMS treatment should be integrated into the concept of chronic disease management and combined with health management. Through psychological counseling, cognitive behavior intervention, popular science lectures, and other methods, it is advised to adjust the emotion of patients with EMS, thereby increasing the curative effect. This study is expected to provide references for the clinical treatment of EMS.
