Objective To explore the sensitivity and specificity of colposcopy directed biopsy (CDB) and the value of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) for the diagnosis and treatment of microinvasive cervical cancer (MCC). Methods One hundred and thirty five patients with MCC were diagnosed with LEEP in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University from April 2008 to November 2010, and were retrospectively analyzed on CDB diagnoses and following treatment after LEEP. According to patient′s desire for preservation of fertility and cone margin status, following strategies after LEEP included follow-up, second LEEP, hysterectomy, modified radical hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy. Single and multiple factors related to residual lesions after LEEP were analysed with Pearson Chi-square test and logistic regression model, respectively. Results CDB diagnosed MCC with a sensitivity of 4.4%(6/135), specificity of 100.0%(4 680/4 680), and false negative rate of 95.6%(129/135). Among the 135 patients, 29 did not receive further treatment in our hospital and lost contact. One hundred and six patients had secondary treatment or follow-up in our hospital, 4 of among which were closely followed up;one hundred and two received further treatment, which included 6 cases with second LEEP (3 received extrafascial hysterectomy after repeat LEEP), 59 cases hysterectomy, 14 cases modified radical hysterectomy and 26 cases radical hysterectomy. For factors related to residual lesions after LEEP, single factor analysis showed that the ratio of residual lesion in patients aged 27-39, 40-49 and 50-65 years were respectively 19.0%(11/58), 15.4%(10/65) and 5/12 (χ2=4.505, P=0.105). Residual lesions occurred in 24.7%(23/93) of patients with positive LEEP margins, which was more than that 7.1%(3/42) of patients with negative LEEP margins (χ2=5.756, P=0.016). The ratio of residual lesions in patients with positive endocervical, ectocervical and deep stromal margins were respectively 29.6%(8/27), 17.1%(7/41)and 30.6%(11/36;χ2=2.275, P=0.321). Residual lesions in patients with or without lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) were 2/7 and 18.8%(24/128), respectively (χ2=0.412, P=0.521). The ratio of residual lesions in patients with invasion depth of<1 mm was 17.1%(7/41), 1-<3 mm was 19.0%(16/84), and 3-5 mm was 3/10, with no significant difference among three groups (χ2=0.870, P=0.647). Logistic regression analysis showed positive cone margin (OR=5.069, P=0.014) and age (OR=1.080, P=0.024) were the independent risk factors of residual lesions after LEEP conization. Conclusions CDB alone is not adequate for the diagnosis of MCC. For young patients who desire to preserve fertility with a negative cone margin, close follow-up is acceptable. Cone margin status and age are two independent risk factors for residual lesions after LEEP.

Hyperhidrosis is a disease in which excessive sweat is secreted,resulting in an abnormal increase in systemic or local perspiration.In traditional Chinese medicine,hyperhidrosis belongs to the category of sweating disease.It is caused by an imbalance between yin and yang and abnormal excretion of body fluid.Many doctors treat the sweating disease from the perspective of heart,lung,and kidney;in contrast,we discuss the etiology and pathogenesis of hyperhidrosis from the perspective of liver and spleen,explain the significance of harmonizing the liver and spleen to improve the sweating disease,and put forward the key pathogenic factors of stagnation liver qi and spleen deficiency,and disharmony between nutrient qi and defensive qi,and the imbalance between yin and yang are the key pathogenic factor.Most of the clinical treatment start from the liver and spleen.The main treatment principle is based on soothing the liver and relieving depression,invigorating the spleen and nourishing blood,and regulating and harmonizing the nutrient qi and defensive qi,paying attention to the relationship between qi and blood in zangfu organs,invigorating the spleen and replenishing qi to consolidate its foundation,soothing the liver and relieving depression to regulate its qi,and invigorating qi and blood and perspiration.Treatment can be supplemented with Xiaoyao Powder plus-minus,mainly to strengthen liver wood and spleen soil,acquire nourishment,smooth qi,nourish the five zang,reconcile qi and blood,enhance physical strength and peace of mind,ensure sufficient qi to arrest sweating,coordinate the liver and spleen,balance the ascending and descending phases,and harmonize the five zang organs.
