Objective To study the clinical effects of conservative treatment of incomplete pharmaceutical abortion. Methods 149 cases of incomplete pharmaceutical abortion were randomly divided into two groups. Group A(86 cases) was intramuscularly given progesterone or orally medroxyprogesterone. Group B (63 cases)was given methotrexate intramuscularly or orally. The therapeutic effects of two groups were observed. Results The successful rate in group A and group B was 79 07%(68/86) and 96 82%(61/63). The successful rate of the patients with lower HCG level in group A and group B was 86 89%(53/61) and 100%(32/32) respectively, which had significant difference (P

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological data of patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma(PTMC)and papillary thyroid non-microcarcinoma(non-PTMC)who received 131I therapy retrospectively,and compare the therapeutic response of the two groups of patients,so as to guide 131I therapy decisions for PTMC patients.Methods A total of 1 118 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC)underwent 131I therapy in the Department of Nuclear Medicine,Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020 were enrolled.Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the differences of clinicopathological features and 131I therapy,therapeutic response between two groups.The incomplete response(IR)rate curves of the two groups were plotted by Kaplan-Meier analysis.Results The proportion of patients with multifocal,involvement of bilateral thyroid lobes in PTMC group were higher than those in non-PTMC group,and the proportion of patients with extra-thyroid extension,T4,N1b,stimulated thyroglobulin(sTg)>10 μg/L,and high risk stratified were lower than those in non-PTMC group(P<0.05).Most patients in PTMC group received remnant ablation for the first time,while more patients in non-PTMC group received adjuvant therapy and therapy for known disease(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in 131I therapeutic response,the rates of excellent response(ER)and IR in two groups,and the differences in curves of IR rate between the two groups were also no statistically significance(P>0.05).Conclusions PTMC has a certain degree of invasiveness.As long as the patients were comprehensively evaluated and the standard 131I therapy was adopted,the treatment outcomes of patients with PTMC and non-PTMC were roughly the same.Therefore,the clinical value of the definition of PTMC is extremely limited in the formulation of 131I therapeutic dose regimens.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of patients with recurrent or metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC)after 131I therapy. Methods:From December 2000 to December 2017, a total of 40 patients[14 males amd 26 females, median age 48(29-60)years] with recurrent or metastatic DTC after 131I therapy in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were reviewed. We analyzed the clinical pathological features of the patients receiving the initial 131I ablation to screen the relevant factors affecting the time of recurrence or metastasis, the dynamic serological changes, imaging characteristics and the iodine uptake in the lesion at diagnosis. Chi- square test, Mann- Whitney U test and Kaplan- Meier analysis were used to compare the differences between the two groups. Results:The time of recurrence or metastasis of DTC after 131I therapy was not statistically different in the patient′s age, gender, multifocal cancer, lymph node metastasis, the interval between the initial 131I therapy and the operation, stimulated thyroglobulin(Tg)levels before the initial ablation and last 131I therapy, and times of 131I therapy( P > 0.05), but associated with the T-stage of in-situ tumor, soft tissue metastasis and initial therapeutic dose of 131I. Patients with the T4-stage of in-situ tumor( P=0.033), soft tissue metastasis( P=0.008)and tumor initial dose≤3.7 GBq( P=0.002)were more prone to early recurrence or metastasis. From termination of 131I therapy to the diagnosis of tumor recurrence or metastasis, Tg [Tg antibodys(TgAb)negative] and TgAb(TgAb positive)showed a gradually increasing trend. Recurrent or metastatic lesions were mostly located in the cervical lymph nodes, and most of them were multiple. Among the 40 patients with recurrent or metastatic DTC, only 3 patients had iodine-avid lesions. Conclusion:The T-stage of in-situ tumor, soft tissue metastasis and initial therapeutic dose of radioiodine are important factors affecting the time of recurrence or metastasis after 131I therapy in DTC patients. Most of the recurrent or metastatic lesions don′t ever concentrate radioiodine, so it′s difficult to benefit from continued 131I therapy.

ObjectiveTo investigate the Alzheimer-associated neurofilament protein (AD7c-NTP) in urine of middle-aged and elderly people and its correlation between common metabolites. MethodsA total of 1 150 middle-aged and elderly people who did their physical exmanination in the health examination center of the Sichuan Science City Hospital and the Third Hopital of Mianyang were recruited from March 2017 to March 2020. The level of urine AD7c-NTP were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and common metabolites in blood were measured by biochemical analyzer. Based on urine AD7c-NTP level ≤1.5 ng/mL, the objects was divided into normal group (n=956) and elevated group (n=194). Thier demographic data and blood biochemical indicators were collected. ResultsThe urine AD7c-NTP level in middle-aged and elderly people was 0.60(0.30~1.20) ng/mL. The urine AD7c-NTP level was higher in women than that in men [1.04(0.40~1.30) ng/mL vs. 0.84(0.30~1.00) ng/mL, Z=4.202, P˂0.01]. And the urine AD7c-NTP level was lower in the normal group than that in the elevated group [0.50(0.30~0.90) ng/mL vs. 2.10(1.70~2.10) ng/mL, Z=22.035, P˂0.01]. The results of the univariate comparison showed that, the differences between the two groups in age (Z=6.545), fasting glucose (Z=3.506), blood uric acid (Z=2.574), urea nitrogen (Z=2.891), creatinine (Z=2.243), total bilirubin (Z=3.936), glutathione (Z=0.969), total cholesterol (t=3.956) and low density lipoprotein (Z=-5.678) were were statistically significant (P˂0.05 or 0.01). Spearman correlation analysis showed that, the urine AD7c-NTP level was positively correlated with age and the levels of urea nitrogen, glucose, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (r=0.177, 0.178, 0.171, 0.109, 0.149, P˂0.01), and negatively correlated with the level of total bilirubin (r=-0.172, P˂0.01). Conclusionthe urine AD7c-NTP level in middle-aged and elderly females was signifitcantly higher than in middle-aged and elderly males.The urine AD7c-NTP level of middle-aged and elderly people was positively correlated with age, urea nitrogen, glucose, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein, and negatively correlated with total bilirubin.
