Objective To study the efficacy and safety of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRH-a) combined with laparoscope conservative surgery in treatment of moderate or severe endometriosis.Methods From Jan.2007 to Jan.2010,68 patients with moderate or severe undergoing treatment in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were enrolled in this retrospective study.Three groups were classified,which were 25 patients in GnRH-a group,subcutaneous injection Leuprorelin on the second day of menstruation,every 4 weeks for 3 months.Twenty-three patients in Marvelon group,orally one marvelon tablet on the second day of menstruation,continuous 21 days for one period of treatment for 3 courses.Twenty patients in surgery group,without any medicine used preoperatively.All patients were followed by 12 months and compare their surgery time,blood loss,recovery,visual analog scale (VAS),and recurrence and so on.Results The operating time were (68 ± 18) min in GnRH-a group,(80 ± 21) min in Marvelon group and (90± 24) min in surgery group.The amount of bleeding were (118 ± 15) ml in GnRh-a group,(161 ± 18) ml in Marvelon group and (193 ± 13) ml in surgery group.There was significant lower in the operating time and amount of bleeding in GnRH-a group than those in other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The activity time and the anus exhaust time were shorter in patients in GnRh-a group than those in the other two groups significantly(P ＜ 0.05).When followed up in 12 months after treatment,visual analogue scale had dropped from 3.8 (1.9-6.8) to 1.9 (1.1-2.8) in GnRh-a group,from 2.7 (1.3-5.5) to 1.8 (1.2-3.2) in Marvelon group and from 1.9(1.0-4.9) to 1.6(1.0-3.6) in surgery group.It was showed the most remarkable decreased VAS in GnRHa group when compared with the other two groups(P ＜ 0.05).The recurrence rates were 12％ (3/25) in GnRH-a group,22％ (5/23) in Marvelon group and 25 ％ (5/25) in surgery group.It was found that the most significant lower recurrence was in GnRH-a group when compared with the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions It was safe and efficacy that GnRH-a combined with laparoscopic conservative surgery were used in treatment of endometriosis.It could bring shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,quick postoperative recover,the lower recurrence rate.

Objective: To investigate the activities of daily living and the use of assistive devices among disabled people demanding assistive devices in Jiading Township, Jiading District, Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide the evidence for the implementation of rehabilitation interventions and the selection of assistive devices for the disabled people living in the community. Methods: The disabled people demanding assistive devices were sampled from 17 communities in Jiading Township in January 2020. A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted to collect participants'age, gender, type of disability, provision and use of assistive devices. The activities of daily living were evaluated using the Activities of Daily Living Scale, and the difference in the frequency of assistive device use was compared among the disabled people with different activities of daily living. Results: A total of 377 questionnaires were allocated, and 328 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 87.00%. The respondents included 187 men ( 57.01% ) and 141 women (42.99%), and had a mean age of ( 71.78±13.86 ) years. Among all respondents, limb disability was predominant (248 people, 75.61%), and 84.45% (277 people) were provided with assistive devices. Assessment of activities of daily living showed complete self-care in 85 respondents ( 25.91% ), functional decline in 39 respondents ( 11.89% ) and functional dysfunction in 204 respondents ( 62.20% ). The proportion of functional dysfunction was predominantly detected among disabled people at ages of 80 years and older ( 79.63% ) ( P<0.05 ). Of the disabled people with assistive devices, 139 people used the devices daily ( 50.18% ), and the proportion of daily use of assistive devices was significantly higher in people with functional dysfunctions than in those with complete self-care ( 59.33% vs. 29.41%; P<0.05 ). In addition, no need was identified as the predominant cause of non-provision of assistive devices ( 29 people, 56.86% ). Conclusions Functional dysfunction of daily living is highly prevalent among the disabled people demanding assistive devices in Jiading Township, in whom the elderly are predominant, and the proportion of assistive device use is high among people with functional dysfunctions. The provision of assistive devices recommends to be improved based on assessment of activities of daily living.

Objective:To analyze the laboratory tests in newly hospitalized patients with COVID-19　and their predictive values for the severity of the disease.Methods:83 patients, including 54 males and 29 females, with median interquartile range of 63(53-70)years diagnosed with covid-19　who were managed by Fujian medical team from January 27, 2020 to February 20, 2020 in Wuhan JinYinTan Hospital were studied retrospectively. According to the severity of the disease, they were divided into common, severe and critical groups. White blood cell (WBC), lymphocyte (LYM), loctate dehydrogenase (LDH), interleukin-6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT), serum ferritin (SF), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and D-Dimer (D-D) on admission were analyzed retrospectively. And the predictive value of each indicator for critical group was analyzed by Logistic regression.Results:On admission, in common, severe and critical groups, WBC (×10 9/L) values were 7.10±3.88, 7.73±3.77 and 9.07±5.61, respectively ( F = 1.315, P=0.274); IL-6　(μg/L) values were 11.76(9.42-15.18), 11.93(10.15-15.63) and 11.24(8.06-13.75), respectively( Z=0.591, P=0.744);D-D (mg/L) values were 0.70(0.48-1.12), 1.67(1.07-7.14) and 1.96(0.71-8.18), respectively( Z=3.363, P=0.186).There were no significant differences among three groups. On admission, in common, severe and critical groups, LYM(×10 9/L) values were 1.10±0.33, 0.80±0.35 and 0.66±0.32, respectively( F=11.415, P<0.001); SF(μg/L) values were 470.83±283.43, 835.66±819.43, and 1341.15±949.54, respectively ( F=7.98, P=0.001); ESR(mm/h) values were 30.76±15.70, 42.55±22.51 and 51.04±25.09, respectively( F=5.181, P=0.008); LDH(U/L) values were 314.71±105.46, 325.69±109.85 and 444.03±181.07, respectively( F=7.17, P=0.001); hs-CRP(μg/L)values were 16(7.20-19.90), 31.00(20.00-87.60) and 80.50(33.70-113.00), respectively( Z=12.185, P=0.002);PCT(μg/L) values were 0.025(0.02-0.05), 0.05(0.02-0.13) and 0.09(0.05-0.39), respectively( Z=9.694, P=0.008). There were significant differences among three groups. Pairwise comparison showed that the LYM value in common group was higher than those in severe and critical groups, and the hs-CRP values in severe and critical groups were higher than that in common group,while SF, ESR, LDH and PCT values in critical group were all higher than those in severe and common groups( P<0.05). Conclusions:On admission, WBC, LYM, ESR and LDH are helpful to predict the severity of COVID-19. Although the level of IL-6 is increased, it may not be meaningful to judge the severity of COVID-19.
