Objective To systematically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of interventional uterine artery embolization (UAE) in treating symptomatic uterine fibroids by comparing it with surgical therapy. Methods Computer retrieval of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI), Wanfang data, etc. was conducted. The retrieval time was from the inception to July 2014. The academic papers that were related to the randomly controlled test (RCT) of UAE and surgical treatment for symptomatic uterine fibroids were collected, and the reference literatures were also searched for. Two reviewers screened the literatures according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the useful data were extracted and the qualities were evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. Results A total of 6 RCTs were finally obtained, including 732 patients in total. Meta-analysis indicated that both the hospitalization time and recovery time in UAE group were shorter than those in surgery group. No significant differences in health -related quality of life, patient’s satisfaction, intra -operation complications, the recurrence rate and main complications within one year existed between UAE group and surgery group; while the differences in the incidence of minor complications within one year and the need of further intervention rate during 2 -5 years were statistically significant, the occurrence of these minor complications in UAE group being higher than that in the surgery group. The pregnancy rate and live-birth rate in UAE group were significantly lower than those in the surgery group. Conclusion Compared with surgery, UAE has many advantages, such as technically-safe, excellent therapeutic effect, simply-manipulated, easy-nursing, mini-invasive, quick-recovery and easily-accepted by patient, etc. although there is risk of receiving intervention treatment again. The influence of UAE on the fertility, the influence of different embolic agents on the therapeutic effect of UAE, and the effectiveness of UAE for multiple uterine fibroids need to be further studied.

Objective To observe the effects of hemoperfusion(HP)combined with hemodialysis on cholinesterase(ChE)activity and inflammatory factors in patients with acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning(AOPP).Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted.Seventy-three AOPP patients admitted to the department of emergency of Yingshang People's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were enrolled.The patients were divided into HP group(31 cases)and HP+continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)group(42 cases)according to different treatment regimens.All patients were given supportive treatment according to the standard protocol after admission.HP was given to the patients as soon as possible after admission,and the treatment time was between 2 hours and 3 hours,with an interval of 24 hours.Patients in HP+CRRT group were treated with continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration(CVVHDF)after HP.The serum ChE,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukins(IL-1,IL-6)levels were compared between the two groups after admission(T0),at the end of the first HP/HP+CRRT(T1),at the end of the second HP/HP+CRRT(T2),and at the end of the third HP/HP+CRRT(T3).The ChE recovery time,the incidence of intermediate syndrome(IMS),the length of hospital stay,and the rate of admission to ICU were also compared.Results With the extension of treatment time,the ChE activity at T1,T2,and T3 in the two groups was significantly higher than that at T0,and the levels of TNF-α,IL-1,and IL-6 were significantly lower than those at T0,reaching the trough value at T3,and the changes in HP+CRRT group were more significant than those in HP group[ChE activity(U/L):2 903.26±164.43 vs.2 292.98±350.96,TNF-α(ng/L):78.24±10.75 vs.100.55±15.58,IL-1(ng/L):95.98±22.56 vs.127.94±18.74,IL-6(ng/L):34.36±8.66 vs.58.74±10.46,all P<0.05].The recovery time of ChE activity and length of hospital stay in HP+CRRT group were significantly shorter than those in HP group[ChE activity recovery time(days):4.42±1.17 vs.7.31±1.46,length of hospital stay(days):9.25±2.14 vs.12.75±2.30,both P<0.05],the incidence of IMS and ICU admission rate were significantly lower than those in HP group[the incidence of IMS:33.33%(14/42)vs.61.29%(19/31),ICU admission rate:9.52%(4/42)vs.29.03%(9/31),both P<0.05].Conclusion For AOPP patients,HP+CRRT is superior to HP alone in the clearance of inflammatory factors,restoring ChE activity,reducing the incidence of IMS,and shortening the length of hospital stay,making it a valuable option for clinical application.

Objective: To explore the current status and influencing factors of eating behaviors in adolescents, so as to provide a theoretical foundation for health promotion education among adolescents. Methods: Based on the database from Survey of Chinese Family Health Index (2021), by a random number table method, 1 065 teenagers were selected from the provincial capitals of 22 provinces and 5 autonomous regions in China, as well as 4 municipalities directly under the central government. A general characteristic questionnaire, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Short Form of the Family Health Scale (FHS-SF), 10-item Short Version of the Big Five Personality(BFP-10), Content-based Media Exposure Scale (CM-E) and Sakata Eating Behavior Scale Short Form(EBS-SF) were used to collect information. Multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis was employed to identify and analyze related factors of eating behaviors among adolescents. Receiver operating characteristic was used to validate the predictive ability of the EBS-SF score for overweight and obesity among adolescents. Results: The average scores of BFI-10,C-ME, FHS-SF, PHQ-9 and EBS-SF were (33.08±4.64)(19.20±4.55)(38.48±6.65)(6.09±5.63)(16.75±4.36), respectively. Multivariate linear regression showed that family type (other types), agreeableness, conscientiousness, family health and depression were the main related factors of EBS-SF scores among adolescents( B =2.61,-0.42,0.20,-0.11,0.23, P <0.05).The analysis of receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the EBS-SF scores had a good ability in predicting obesity among male adolescents ( AUC= 0.73, P <0.01). Conclusions Family type, big five personality, family health,depression are the related factors of eating behaviors among adolescents. EBS-SF scores are predictive of obesity in adolescents, which would provide a new perspective for promoting healthy eating habits among adolescents.
