Tumor 2014;34(10):952-956
Objective: To evaluate the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of patients with synchronous primary endometrial and fallopian tube cancers. Methods: The clinical records of four cases of synchronous primary endometrial and fallopian tube cancers from Jiangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital between October 2008 and October 2013 were reviewed. The follow-up was performed in all patients. The date of last contact was June 30, 2014. Results: The preoperative diagnosis for four cases was endometrial cancer. Two of them underwent extensive abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy and para-aortic lymph node biopsy, and the other two cases underwent extrafascial abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy and para-aortic lymph node biopsy. The postoperative diagnosis for four cases was stage IA endometrioid adenocarcinoma and stage IA/IB fallopian tube adenocarcinoma. Three patients received 1-3 cycles of chemotherapy of docetaxel plus platinum, and one patient didn't receive any chemotherapy. The follow-up time was 38-71 months. All patinets remained tumor-free survival by June 30, 2014. Conclusion: The patients with synchronous primary stage I endometrial cancer and stage I fallopian tube cancer has a good prognosis, and the extensive/extrafascial abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy and para-aortic lymph node biopsy are appropriate surgical procedures for these patients. The necessity of postoperative chemotherapy should be further explored.

OBJECTIVETo objectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yimusake Tablet in the treatment of premature ejaculation (PE) through a multi-centered large-sample trial.
METHODSWe conducted a multi-centered, open, fixed-dose, and self-compared clinical trial among 300 patients with diagnosed PE. The trial lasted 12 weeks, including 4 weeks without any medication and 8 weeks of treatment with Yimusake Tablet, 2 pills (1 g) per night. We observed the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) before and after treatment, evaluated the safety of medication, and performed a questionnaire investigation on the patients' satisfaction.
RESULTSOf the 300 PE patients, 288 accomplished the clinical trial. The patients ranged in age from 22 to 60 years, averaging at 31.6 years. The mean IELT of the patient was 62.5 seconds at baseline, 168.9 seconds after 4 weeks of treatment with Yimusake Tablet, and 222.2 seconds after 8 weeks of medication. Among the 157 patients with normal erectile function (IIEF >21), the mean IELT was 71.4 seconds before treatment, 147.4 seconds after 4 weeks of medication, and 172.5 seconds after 8 weeks of medication. The patients' satisfaction was significantly increased after treatment. Those complicated by mild to moderate erectile dysfunction achieved different degrees of improvement in the IIEF-5 score, with a mean increase of 3.8. Only a few patients experienced mild adverse events, including constipation, dry mouth, nose bleeding, abdominal pain, and lumbosacral pain, which were all relieved without drug withdrawal.
CONCLUSIONYimusake Tablet is a safe and effective medicine for the treatment of PE.
