OBJECTIVETo study the characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis in adolescent patients.
METHODSix cases of adolescent endometriosis in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively.
RESULTEndometriosis is the most common cause of chronic pelvic pain in adolescents. There may be a natural progression of endometriosis from atypical lesions in adolescents to classic lesions in adults. Congenital abnormalities of the reproductive tract are the main reasons for the adolescent endometriosis.
CONCLUSIONEndometriosis should be strongly suspected in adolescent girls with chronic pelvic pain, especially unresponsive to oral contraceptives and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The treatment involves the operations and medicines.

Objective To determine the clinicopathologic characteristics of mucinous borderline ovarian tumors (MBOT) and evaluate the risk factors for recurrence. Methods A retrospective study included age, the level of Preoperative serum CA125, surgical procedures, surgical-staging and the risk factors for recurrence in 130 patients with MBOT who were treated from Jan. 1994 to Dec. 2008 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital was done. Results Preoperative serum CA125 and CA199 were elevated in 34% (33/96) and 50% (13/26) of patients respectively. Fifty-two radical surgeries included total hysterectomy and bilateral saipingo-oovarectomy (THBSO) and 78 fertility-sparing surgeries included 54salpingo-oovarectomies (SO) and 24 cystectomy were done. Fifty-five cases underwent comprehensive surgical staging. Mean size of the tumors was (16 ± 10)cm and 90. 0% (117/130) were limited to unilateral ovary. There were 59 (45.4%) cases, 62 (47.7%o) cases, 2 (1.5%) cases and 7 (5.4%) cases in stage Ⅰa, Ⅰc, Ⅱ , Ⅲ , respectively. Forty-five(34.6%)concurrent with benign mucinous tumors, 14(10.8%)ovarian intraepithelial carcinoma, 8 (6.2%) micro-invasive carcinoma and 4 (3.1%) pseudomyxoma peritonei were found. Median duration for follow-up was 56.3 months. Sixteen (12.3%) recurrences and 2 tumor related deaths were found. Median duration from surgery to recurrence was 25.6 months. Recurrent rate after THBSO(4%, 2/49)was significantly lower than that of SO(13%, 7/54) and cystectomy (17%,4/24; P < 0.05). The recurrent rate of Ⅰc or Ⅲ was 18% (11/62) or 3/7, which were significantly higher than that of stage Ⅰa (3% ,2/59; P <0.05). Three of the 4 pseudomyxoma peritonei appeared recurrence.While,the results showed that these were no effect on recurrent rate whether concurrent intraepithelial,microinvasive carcinoma or not comprehensive staging surgery. Conclusions Majority of MBOT were diagnosed in early stage and have favorable prognosis. Patients who take conservative surgery had higher recurrence rate than those radical surgery, but it doesn't affect survival. Late stage and concurrent pseudomyxoma peritonei are risk factors for recurrence.

Objective To analyze the clinic-pathological data and peritubular capillary (PTC) injuries of malignant nephrosclerosis (MN) patients and their correlations with the long term renal survival.Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of 52 MN patients in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2003 to March 2012.Their clinical data and renal biopsy samples were carefully studied.CD34 staining was performed to evaluate the PTC area,using Benign nephrosclerosis (BN,n=17) patients and glomerular minimal lesions (GML,n=19) patients as controls.Multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify the potential independent risk factors for long term renal survival.Results Fifty-two MN patients were enrolled.The sex ratio of male to female was 12:1 and the average age was (34.0±8.2) years.The maximum blood pressure (SBP/DBP) was (230.4 ± 25.0)/(156.4 ± 20.6) mmHg,companied with significant loss of eGFR and proteinuria.Glomerular sclerosis index,tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis correlated with eGFR and proteinuria (P < 0.05).After aggressive treatment,BP control rate improved significantly (76.9% vs 3.7%,P <0.01),Scr [(376.4±263.8) μmol/L vs (486.8±375.7) μmol/L,Wilcoxon test,P< 0.01] and proteinuria [(1.10±0.70) g/24 h vs (2.04± 1.26) g/24 h,P < 0.01,n=21] also improved.PTC area in MN patients was significantly lower than those in BN patients and GML patients,and it correlated well with Scr (r=-0.553,P=0.001) and eGFR (r=0.476,P=0.004).The median follow-up time was 74 months,the cumulative renal survival rate at 1 year,5 year and 10 year was 90%,64% and 23%,respectively.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients with higher PTC area had longer renal survival time [(114.8± 12.4) months vs (63.0±8.3) months, x2=5.312,P < 0.05].Univariate Cox proportional hazard model found that unsatisfied BP control,eGFR < 30 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 upon discharge,lower PTC area,severer tubular-interstitial damage and anemia were associated with poor renal outcome.Multivariate Cox model showed that unsatisfied BP control (RR=3.89,95% CI 1.75-8.65,P=0.001),eGFR < 30 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 upon discharge (RR=4.27,95% CI 1.40-13.09,P=0.011) were independent risk factors for long-term renal survival.Conclusions The correlation between PTC area and renal functions in MN patients are much better than that of classic vascular changes.Unsatisfied BP control and eGFR < 30 ml · min-1 · (1.73 m2)-1 upon discharge are independent risk factors for long-term renal survival.
