Objective:
To evaluate the effect of low-dose hormone replacement therapy(HRT)on menopausal-related symptoms in young patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods:
From March 2016 to September 2018,eighty patients aged 45 years below with cervical squamous cell carcinoma of stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and iatrogenic menopause were recruited,who were diagnosed at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital and Women's Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University. Fourty of them performed low dose HRT(1 mg estradiol valerate a day or 1.25 mg tibolone a day),twenty performed standard dose HRT(1 mg estradiol valerate and 1.25 mg tibolone a day),another twenty do not perform HRT as a control group. The levels of follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),estradiol(E2),menopausal symptoms(the improved Kupperman score)and incidence of side effects were assessed before and 1,3,6 months after the intervention.
Results:
There were significant differences in E2 levels,FSH levels and improved Kupperman scores among the low dose group,the standard dose group and the control group(all P<0.05). With the extension of intervention time,E2 levels in the low dose group and the standard dose group increased first and then decreased,FSH levels and improved Kupperman scores decreased(all P<0.05). Compared with the control group,E2 levels,FSH levels and improved Kupperman scores in the standard dose group changed more significantly(all P<0.05). E2 and FSH levels in the low dose group changed less than that in the standard dose group(all P<0.05),while improved Kupperman scores was close to that in the standard dose group. The incidence rate of side effects in the low dose group was 2.50%,which was lower than 20.00% in the standard dose group(P<0.05).
Conclusion
For young patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma,using low dose HRT may less affects E2 and FSH levels than using the standard dose,but could achieve similar effects in treatment of menopausal-related symptoms.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the intrauterine phenotype and genotype of eight fetuses carrying a 16p11.2 microdeletion.
METHODS:
5100 fetuses undergoing routine prenatal diagnosis were subjected to single nucleotide polymorphism-based microarray (SNP-array) analysis. Fetuses harboring a 16p11.2 microdeletion were analyzed for their ultrasonographic characteristics.
RESULTS:
Eight fetuses were found to harbor a microdeletion in the 16p11.2 region. Among these, six had a typical 500-600 kb deletion, while the remaining two had an atypical 220 kb deletion at the distal part of 16p11.2. Four fetuses showed vertebral malformations, two had mild left ventriculomegaly, one had hydrocephalus, and one had pulmonary valve stenosis with regurgitation. The parents of five fetuses have accepted pedigree verification, and the results confirmed that the 16p11.2 microdeletions carried by fetuses all had a de novo origin.
CONCLUSION
The intrauterine phenotypes of fetuses carrying a 16p11.2 microdeletion may be variable, and the deletion can be effectively detected with the SNP-array assay.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the prenatal ultrasonic characteristics and genetic features of 14 fetuses with chromosome 22q11 microdeletion syndrome (22q11DS).
METHODS:
4989 fetuses were analyzed by using single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array) in the Fujian Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 2016 to November 2019.
RESULTS:
SNP array showed that 11 fetuses had classic 3 Mb microdeletion in 22q11 region, one fetus had 2.0 Mb microdeletion, and two fetuses had 1.0 Mb microdeletion. The 1.0 Mb microdeletion in 22q11 region contains SNAP29 and CRKL genes, which may increase the risk of congenital renal malformation and cardiovascular malformation.
CONCLUSION
Prenatal ultrasonic characteristics of fetuses with 22q11 microdeletion syndrome vary, and SNP array is a powerful tool to diagnose such diseases, which can provide accurate genetic diagnosis and enable prenatal diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of bowel preparation quality in hospitalized elderly patients, and to find the appropriate waiting time from the end of bowel preparation to the beginning of colonoscopy.Methods:Baseline and clinical data of elderly patients over 60 years old who underwent colonoscopy in the Tenth People′s Hospital, Tongji University from February 2021 to August 2021 were collected. Multivariate analysis was used to screen the factors that might affect the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients. Patients were grouped according to waiting time before colonoscopy. After eliminating confounding factors using propensity matching analysis, the difference of bowel preparation quality among groups was compared.Results:251 patients were included in the study. Multivariate analysis revealed that, hypertension ( OR=3.530, 95% CI 1.295-9.618), chronic constipation ( OR=3.302,95% CI 1.132-9.632), dietary compliance ( OR=0.161, 95% CI 0.070-0.371), medication and drinking water compliance ( OR=0.167, 95% CI 0.070-0.397), exercise compliance after medication ( OR=2.245, 95% CI 1.040-4.845), The frequency of defecation after medication ( OR=0.446, 95% CI 0.308-0.647) and waiting time ( OR=0.537, 95% CI 0.387-0.745) were important factors affecting the quality of bowel preparation in hospitalized elderly patients ( P<0.05). There were differences in bowel preparation quality between groups of waiting times. The overall quality of bowel preparation in 120-180 min group was significantly better than that in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and>360 min group ( P<0.05). The overall quality of bowel preparation in 181-240 min group was better than that in >360 min group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences among other groups( P>0.05). The scores of cecum and ascending colon were the best in 120-180 min group, and the cleanliness of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum was significantly higher in 241-300 min group, 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. The scores of descending colon, sigmoid colon and rectum showed that the intestinal preparation quality of 181-240 min group was better than that of 301-360 min group and > 360 min group. Conclusions:The best examination time for elderly patients is about 180 minutes after bowelpreparation. Medical workers should flexibly guide the medication time to ensure that patients are in the best clean state of intestinal tract during examination.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the ultrasonographic phenotype and result of genetic testing in six fetuses carrying a 17q12 microdeletion.
METHODS:
Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was carried out for 6200 pregnant women undergoing prenatal diagnosis from December 2016 to May 2021.
RESULTS:
CMA has identified 6 fetuses with a microdeletion in the 17q12 region, which spanned approximately 1.4 Mb and encompassed at least 13 OMIM genes. All fetuses have shown bilateral renal parenchymal echo enhancement. Four fetuses also had other ultrasonographic phenotypes. The parents of 4 fetuses had refused parental verification, whilst the remaining two fetuses were confirmed to be de novo in origin.
CONCLUSION
The prenatal ultrasonographic phenotype of 17q12 microdeletion is mainly enhanced bilateral renal parenchymal echos. CMA can facilitate detection of the 17q12 microdeletion.
