Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2017;17(2):155-158
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of postmenopausal patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN) gradeⅡ/Ⅲand cervical cancer . Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical characteristics of 57 cases of postmenopausal patients who were diagnosed as CIN grade Ⅱor above from January 2014 to September 2015.Their age ranged from 49 to 77 (58.2 ±5.6) years old, and the time of menopause ranged from 1 to 36 (9.4 ±6.9) years. Results ①In postmenopausal women with CIN Ⅱ/Ⅲ and cervical cancer, only about 1/5 (11/57, 19.3%) had clinical complaints, and nearly 2/3 (36/57, 63.2%) had smooth cervical appearance .②There were 36 cases of high-risk human papillomavirus ( HPV) (36/39, 92.3%), 20 cases of single HPV16 infection (20/36, 55.6%), 7 cases of HPV16 type and other high-risk HPV infection (7/36, 19.4%), and 9 cases of other types of high-risk HPV infection (9/36, 25.0%).③The positive rate of high-risk HPV was 92.3%(36/39) and the HPV16 positive rate was 69.2% (27/39).TCT examination showed a positive rate of high grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) of only 29.6% (16/54), with significant difference (χ2 =6.686 and 14.286, P =0.010 and 0.000, respectively). Conclusions Postmenopausal women with cervical lesions usually have no obvious clinical symptoms . Gynecological examination alone is difficult to judge whether the cervical lesions exist .Strict cervical lesions screening is particularly important .
2.The actual status and the progress of chemotherapy for adults with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (except M3)
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2015;24(4):251-253
Although intensive chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) are currently used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML),a large proportion of patients relapse after treatment.On the other hand,a minority of cases fail to achieve complete remission (CR) after a standard first line treatment.Leukemia relapse and refractory become the main course of treatment failure,which are also the main points and difficulties of treatment for AML.However,the most effective regimen for refractory/relapsed AML has not been established.This review focuses on the progress of the regimens and major chemotherapy for refractory/relapsed AML (except M3).

5.Analysis of the influence of different turning angles on the patients with stroke in acute phase
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(19):1466-1469
Objective To explore the best turn lateral position angle of the patients with stroke in acute phase. Methods 100 patients with stroke in acute phase weredivided into five groups according to 15 ° ,30 ° 45 ° , 60 ° , 90 ° turn lateral position angle separately and then observed the skin temperature of good location of pressure ulcers of the patients before and after turning over 2 h. The changes of blood pressure, heart rate and the finger tip pulse oxygen saturation were recorded within the turn over 2 hours. Results The skin temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation among the groups had no statistical significance (P>0.05) in the difference turn angle of lateral position.The skin temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation between the groups had no statistical significance (P>0.05) in the same turn angle of lateral position.Conclusions Five different turn lateral position angle have no obvious difference on the vital signs and the skin temperature in patients with stroke in acute phase. It is suggested to adopt the turn lateral position angle of less than 90° from the perspective of biomechanics and patients′comfort.
6.Efficacy of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) for menopausal insomnia and its effect on serum hormone levels
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2020;18(3):197-202
Objective: To explore the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) for menopausal insomnia. Methods: A total of 80 patients with menopausal insomnia were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received conventional Western medication treatment, and the patients in the observation group received TEAS on the basis of conventional Western medication treatment. The treatment for both groups lasted for 4 weeks. Before and after treatment, Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and modified Kupperman scale were evaluated, and the serum levels of estradiol (E2) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) were measured. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05); in the control group, the improvement of PSQI score was significant (P<0.05), while the change of modified Kupperman score was insignificant (P>0.05); the PSQI and Kupperman scores in the observation group were significantly improved after treatment (both P<0.05), and there were significant differences between the observation group and the control group in PSQI and Kupperman scores (both P<0.05). After treatment, the serum E2 and FSH levels in the control group were not statistically different from those before treatment (both P>0.05); the serum E2 level was significantly increased (P<0.05), and the FSH level was decreased (P<0.05) in the observation group after treatment, and the between- group differences in serum levels of E2 and FSH were significant (both P<0.05).Conclusion: TEAS plus conventional Western medication in treating menopausal insomnia is effective, and can significantly improve the symptoms of insomnia and menopause, which may be related to the regulation of serum E2 and FSH levels.
