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 elucidate the association of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)with coronary artery calcification in patients with moderate and advanced stage chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Methods Serum intact FGF23 levels in 150 patients with CKD stage 3 to 5 and 25 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were measured by ELISA.The association between FGF23 and coronary artery calcification was studied. Results Serum FGF23 levels in CKD patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls [196.46 (83.09,355.02) ng/L vs 27.17 (21.63,51.20) ng/L,P<0.01].The levels of FGF23 were significantly higher in dialyzed patients than those in non-dialyzed patients (P<0.01),and hemodialysis patients had higher levels as compared to peritoneal dialysis ones [6048.29 (1129.08,34807.45) ng/L vs 1625.80 (602.83,7521.78) ng/L,P<0.01].The incidence of coronary artery calcification was relatively high in patients with moderate and advanced stage CKD (74/130,56.9% ).Serum FGF23 level was positively correlated with coronary artery calcification score (CaS) (r=0.177,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age (β=0.091,OR=1.095,P<0.01),duration of dialysis (β=2.013,OR=7.483,P<0.05) and FGF23 level (β=0.838,OR=2.311,P<0.05) were independent risk factors for coronary artery calcification in patients with moderate and advanced stage CKD.ROC curve of coronary artery calcification revealed that area under curve (AUC) of FGF23 was 0.705 (P<0.01).With the cut-off value of FGF23 as 786.73 ng/L,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in coronary artery calcification were 62.5% and 75.9%.ROC curve of coronary artery calcification showed that AUC of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) was 0.626 (P=0.017).With the cutoff value of AKP as 79.75 U/L,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity in coronary artery calcification were 84.5% and 41.5%.There was no diagnostic value of serum phosphorus in coronary artery calcification. Conclusions Serum FGF23 level is correlated with coronary artery.calcification in patients with moderate and advanced stage CKD.The sensitivity of FGF23 is lower and the specificity is higher than those of AKP for the diagnosis of coronary artery calcification.

Objective:To explore the application effect of adjustable body position protection belt in patients undergoing not painless colonoscopy.Methods:A randomized and controlled trial was used, a total of 180 patients who planned to undergo not painless colonoscopy in the Endoscopy center, the First Hospital of Jiaxing from January to October 2022 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random number table method, with 90 cases in each group. The control group adopted the traditional method of colonoscopy body position placement, and on this basis, the experimental group used the adjustable body position protection belt to assist the patient body position placement. The maintenance rate of body position in colonoscopy, the cecal intubation time, the degree of intraoperative pain and the acceptance rate of re-examinationunder the same operating doctor and nurse were compared between the two groups.Results:The maintenance rate of body position in colonoscopy was 97.78%(88/90) in the experimental group and 58.89%(53/90) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 37.84, P<0.05). The cecal intubation time was (7.84 ± 4.39) min in the experimental group and (10.13 ± 5.85) min in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t = 2.98, P<0.05). The intraoperative pain score was 2.96 ± 1.39 in the experimental group and 4.28 ± 1.42 in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t = 6.31, P<0.05). The acceptance rate for re-colonoscopy was 88.89%(80/90) in the experimental group and 72.22%(65/90) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 7.98, P<0.05). Conclusions:Use of adjustable body position protection belt to assist body position placement before the patients undergoing not painless colonoscopy, it can improve the maintenance rate of body position during not painless colonoscopy, shorten the time of cecal intubation, reduce the intraoperative pain degree, and patients also have a higher willingness to undergo colonoscopy again.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of leflunomide (LEF) combined with medium/low dose corticosteroids and full dose of corticosteroids in the treatment of IgA nephropathy. Method Primary IgAN patients diagnosed by renal biopsy with 18?65 years old and eGFR≥30 ml·min?1·(1.73 m2)?1 and proteinuria>0.5 g/24 h were enrolled in a prospective controlled clinical study. They were randomly divided into leflunomide combined with medium/low dose corticosteroids (LEF group) and corticosteroids alone (steroid group). The primary outcomes were (1) end stage renal disease or dialysis (2) 50% increase in serum creatinine above the baseline. Secondary outcome was the remission of proteinuria. Results Ninety patients completed the follow?up. The 24?hour proteinuria at baseline were 2.00(1.10, 2.88) g and 1.87(1.13 ,3.08) g in LEF group and steroid group respectively. Compared with baseline, it was significantly decreased in both groups at 6 months [0.30(0.11, 0.93) g, 0.30(0.14, 1.33) g] and 12 months [0.30(0.09, 0.82) g, 0.32(0.14, 0.66) g], (P<0.05). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline, 6 months and 12 months were (80.39 ± 28.56), (87.12±28.70) and (88.20±30.26) ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1. It was decreased in steroid group (P<0.05), while no significant difference was detected in LEF group[baseline (87.63 ± 27.35), 6 months (86.91 ± 32.45), 12 months (90.06 ± 30.00) ml·min-1·(1.73 m2)-1, P>0.05]. At 6 and 12 months, there was no significant difference in terms of 24?hour proteinuria, serum creatinine and eGFR (CKD?EPI) between groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse events between groups during the treatment (9/40 cases in LEF group and 11/50 cases in steroid group, P>0.05). The average follow?up was 79 months, and there was no difference in the renal prognosis between the two groups. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that serum creatinine at baseline and renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration predicted the risk of the progress of IgA nephropathy. Conclusion Leflunomide plus medium/low dose corticosteroids has a similar effect as full dose of corticosteroids in IgA nephropathy and does not increase the risk for adverse events during the treatment.
