ObjectiveTo explore changes of serum adiponectin and insulin resistance in patients with endometrial cancer and to evaluate the clinical significance and correlation.MethodsThe serum levels ofadiponectinandfastinginsulinweredeterminedbyELISA, electro-chemilluminometryand radioimmunoassay in 35 patients with endometrial cancer [ all patients divided into two groups,A1 group belonged to without postmenopausal when first visiting (n =20),A2 group belonged to postmenopausal when first visiting (n = 15 ) ] and 30 cases of health control.The result of homeostasis nodel assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index was calculated.ResultsThe levels of adiponectin in A1 group was lower than that ofhealth control group [(6.7±1.1) versus (10.0 ±1.4) ng/L,P<0.05],and HOMA-IR was higher than that of health control group ( 3.5 ± 1.8 versus 1.1 ± 0.7,P < 0.05 ).While there were not significant difference between A2 group and health control group (P > 0.05 ).Adiponectin and insulin resistance was negatively correlated ( r =- 0.389,P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Adiponectin reducing and insulin resistance in reproductive age patients may be the independent factors to promote endometrial cancers.

Objective To compare the efficacy of different hysteroscopic surgical procedures in the treatment of endometrial polyps. Methods Ninety-two patients with endometrial polyps from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected. Among them, 37 patients with fertility requirements underwent polypectomy with MyoSure as group A; 25 patients without fertility requirements underwent polypectomy with resectoscopic hysteroscopy as group B, and 30 patients underwent polypectomy with hysterosopy and curettage as group C. The duration of the procedure, blood loss and hospital stays, effective rate, recurrence rate and postoperative pregnancy rate of the3 groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss and hospital stays among the 3 groups (P> 0.05). The duration of the procedure of group A and B was longer than that of group C, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The effective rate of treatment was high in all 3 groups, and inter-group comparison indicated no statistically significant difference, but the recurrence rate of group C was significantly higher than that of group A and B. For those with fertility requirements, the pregnancy rate in group A was slightly higher than that in group C within one year after surgery, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion Hysteroscopic procedures of endometrial polypectomy has the advantages of accuracy, safety, effectiveness and rapid recovery. The treatment with MyoSure and resectoscopic hysteroscopy can reduce the recurrence rate of patients effectively. For women with fertility requirements, the treatment with MyoSure can protect the endometrium and improve the postoperative pregnancy rate.
