Objective To study the role of immunoregulation in patients with Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis(RVVC) that evaluate the efficacy of application with combining clotrimazole and rhIFN-? therapy.Methods Patients were divided randomly into two groups :treatment group(60) and control group(60). The patients in treatment group were scheduled to receive clotrimazole therapy, 400mg,pv,qd,and add to rhIFN-? 1000000u im,biw; control group only using clotrimazole therapy.Results The curative rate betweet two groups had significant difference (68.33 (41/60) vs. 35.0(21/60). The efficiency rate in control group was significantly higher than treatment group( (56.67(34/60)vs 26.67(16/60)),In treatment group ,the serum levels of IL-18(pg/ml)(before treatment (111.71?18.45),after treatment (189.18?28.17))and TNF-? (pg/ml)(before treatment (52.66?18.75),after treatment (124.25?43.77))were significantly increased (P0.05). Conclusion The application with combining clotrimazole and rhIFN-? can significant ameliorate the curative rate of RVVC,by regulate immune fanction in the patients that were induced the produce of IL-18 and TNF-?. rhIFN-?can improve cell-mediated immunity in patients with RVVC.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effects and the serous estradiol change of patients with menopause syndrome using Xianling Gubao capsules for treatment.
METHOD110 patients with manopause syndrome who were diagnosized by clinic index were recruited for the study. They were divided into two groups randomly. The treatment group were dealed with Xianling Gubao capsules and the control group with placebo of starch capsules for 8 weeks. The menopausal Kupperman index was used to assess change in menopausal symptoms before and after treatment. At the same time, serous estradiol and the thickness of uterine endometrium was evaluated.
RESULTThe Kupperman index were improved apparently in treatment group after treatment (P < 0.01). The serous estradiol level of treatment group was increased apparently after treatment (P < 0.05). However, There were no statistical deference in the thickness of uterine endometrium in the treatment and the control group before and after treatment.
CONCLUSIONThe treatment using Xianling Gubao capsules for patients with menopause syndrome could improve the clinic symptoms, increase the serous estradiol level, but do not increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia.

Objective:
To understand the current situation of intimate partner violence (IPV) among young students in Chengdu and its relationship with emotion regulation self-efficacy,and to provide a reference for conducting the education on close relationship.
Methods:
Totally 1 041 young students with love experience in Chengdu were selected by by stratified cluster random sampling to explore potentional factors related to IPV.
Results:
The incidence of IPV perpetration among young students with love experience was as high as 69.6% and the incidence of IPV victimization was 62.2%. Young students had committed(65.4%) or been subjected(64.0%) to more than three intimate partner violence. 59.92% young students were both perpetrators and victims of IPV. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that compared with young female students, young male students were not prone to commit violence in intimate relationships(OR=0.59), but may become victims of IPV(OR=1.91). More than half a year in love(OR=1.70), cohabitation(OR=2.47), bullying by peers (OR=1.54) and interference by parents (OR=1.63) were risk factors for IPV perpetration. Among them, more than half a year in love (OR=1.51) and cohabitants (OR=2.52) were positively associated with IPV victimization. The efficacy of managing negative emotions was a negatively associated with IPV perpetration (OR=0.96) and victimization(OR=0.97)(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The phenomenon of intimate partner violence among young students is more common, which is closely related to the rearing style of young students, peer relationship, love relationship and the ability to manage negative emotions, which should be paid attention to.

Background Perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic organic fluorides, which have adverse health effects on brain function, and limited research has been conducted on their effects on depression. Objective To assess potential correlation between serum PFAS and depression. Methods Using the 2015—2016 and 2017—2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets, 2626 subjects with complete relevant information in people ≥20 years old were selected. Logistic regression and restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the association and dose-response relationship between serum PFAS concentration and depression. Subgroup analysis was performed on sex, age, race, education level, marital status, family income to poverty ratio, moderate exercise, body mass index, and drinking status. Results Among the 2626 subjects, there were 666 patients (25.4%) with mild or above depression. After adjusting for race, education level, marital status, body mass index, moderate exercise, drinking history, cotinine, and other types of PFAS, serum perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) was positively associated with the risk of depression (OR=1.85, 95%CI: 1.14, 3.02), and showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship (χ2=6.37, Pnonlinear=0.012). Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) was inversely associated with the risk of depression (OR=0.23, 95%CI: 0.14, 0.39), and showed a linear dose-response relationship (Ptrend<0.001, χ2=35.13, Poverall<0.001). After subgroup analysis, it was found that males, 20-39 year-olds and 40-64 year-olds were more sensitive to PFNA exposure (OR=0.15, 95%CI: 0.06, 0.37; OR=0.16, 95%CI: 0.06, 0.40; OR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.08, 0.39). PFOS only showed a statistically significant health effect in people aged 20-39 years (OR=3.00, 95%CI: 1.14, 7.94). In addition, among subgroups of non-Hispanic blacks, cohabitants, current drinkers, high school graduates, and obese patients, exposure to PFAS was significantly associated with the risk of depression. Conclusion PFOS exposure may be associated with increased levels of depression, whereas PFNA exposure may be protective.
