Objective To evaluate the impact of bilateral ovariectomy in post-menopausal women by comparison of climacteric symptoms before and after operation. Methods Post-menopausal women who received hysterectomy with concurrent bilateral ovariectomy on benign uterine indications were recruited.Climacteric symptoms before and after operation were accessed by a questionaire including modified Kupperman Index.Comparison was made after grouping the patients into early menopause group,whose menopausal period was no more than 5 years,and late menopause group,whose menopausal period was more than 5 years. Results Among a total of 95 individuals,8 had normal,46 had mild,34 had moderatc,and the other 7 had severe Kupperman Index scores before operation,while 5 had normal,28 had mild,48 had moderate,and the other 14 had severe Kupperman Index scores after operation,with more moderate and severe climacteric symptoms after operation than before operation(P<0.05).Women of early menopause group had higher total Kupperman Index scores and symptom scores of sweating,insomnia,depression,fatigue and headache than those of late menopause group before operation(P<0.05).Women of early menopause group had significantly higher Kupperman Index scores after operation than before operation(23.93±7.53 vs 17.63±8.07,P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in total Kupperman Index scores in women of late menopause group before and after operation. Conclusion Bilateral ovariectomy may affect the climacteric symptoms in post-menopausal women,especially in early menopausal period.

Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) gene C-28G(RANTES C-28G),RANTES A-403G and Eotaxin-3 gene C +77T(Eotaxin-3 C+77T) with asthma in Han ethnic children. Methods The buccal mucosa swabs of 192 Han ethnic children with asthma (asthma group) were collected,and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was employed to detect the SNP loci of RANTES A-403G,C-28G and Eotaxin-3 C+77T.Besides,another 192 healthy subjects (aged 18 to 22 years) without sibship with those in asthma group were served as controls.Genotype and genotypic distribution between these two groups were analysed. Results There was no significant differences in genotype and genotypic distribution of SNP loci of RANTES A-403G and RANTES C-28G between asthma group and control group (P>0.05),while there were significant differences in genotypic distribution of Eotaxin-3 C+77T between these two groups.The frequency of Eotaxin-3 C+77T T/T genotype in asthma group was significantly higher than that in control group (32.3% vs 12.5%,OR=3.44,P=0.000). Conclusion Eotaxin-3 C+77T may be the asthma susceptible SNP loci for Han ethnic children,and Eotaxin-3 C+77T T/T is significantly related with the development of childhood asthma

Objective To investigate the clinical and electrophysiology features of infantile spinal muscular atrophy,and explore the clinical significance of genetic diagnosis. Methods The clinical data of 13 infants suffering from infantile spinal muscular atrophy were analysed.The serum creatine phosphokinase was examined,and nerve conduction velocity was tested in median nerve,ulnar nerve,tibial nerve and peroneal nerve.The parameters such as distal motor latency,motor nerve conduction velocity and amplitude of compound motor active potential were analysed.Electromyography was performed in no less than four muscles,and the insertion potential,spontaneous potential and motor unit action potential were observed.Deletion of exon 7 in SMN1 gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). Results All these infants were characterized by progressive flaccid paralysis in limbs.In all cases,amplitude of muscle response was significantly decreased,with prolonged distal latency and slowed conduction velocity.Electromyography demonstrated motoneuron degeneration.Deletion of exon 7 in SMN1 gene was detected in all 13 infants. Conclusion There are unique clinical and electrophysiology features for infantile spinal muscular atrophy,and electromyography may play an important role in the diagnosis.Prenatal genetic diagnosis may help to avoid the birth of this kind of infants.
