OBJECTIVE: Our previous study showed that insulin resistance (IR) was related to endometrial hyperplasia as well as endometrial cancer. But the exact impact of IR on fertility-sparing treatment in endometrial hyperplasic disease is unclear. This study investigated how IR affects fertility-sparing treatment in endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) patients. METHODS: The 151 EAH patients received fertility-sparing treatment were retrospectively investigated. All patients received high-dose progestin combined with hysteroscopy. Therapeutic effects were evaluated by hysteroscopy every 3 months during the treatment. RESULTS: The median age was 33.0 years old (range, 21–54 years old). Sixty-one patients (40.4%) were insulin resistant. Three patients were excluded from the analysis because they chose hysterectomy within 3 months after initiation of progestin treatment. The 141 out of 148 (95.3%) patients achieved complete response (CR). No difference was found in cumulative CR rate between those with or without IR (90.2% vs. 95.6%, p=0.320). IR significantly affected therapeutic duration to achieve CR (8.1±0.5 months with IR vs. 6.1±0.4 months without IR, p=0.004). Overweight (body mass index [BMI]≥25 kg/m2) was associated with higher risk of treatment failure (odds ratio=5.61; 95% confidence interval=1.11–28.35; p=0.040) and longer therapeutic duration to achieve CR (7.6±0.5 months vs. 6.3±0.4 months, p=0.019). EAH patients with both IR and overweight (IR+BMI+) had the longest therapeutic time compared with other patients (8.8±0.6 months vs. 5.6±0.7, 6.3±0.4, and 6.4±0.8 months for IR−BMI+, IR−BMI−, and IR+BMI−, respectively, p=0.006). CONCLUSION: IR and overweight were associated with longer therapeutic duration in EAH patients receiving progestin-based fertility-sparing treatment.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and related factors of osteoporosis among retired population in Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. Methods: 27 009 retired participants were recruited from Dongfeng Motor Corporation in Hubei Province in 2008 and followed up from April to October in 2013. newly retired participants also were recruited. Data were collected by using questionnaire, physical examination, serum hepatase detection and bone densitometry. Totally, 30 916 participants were included for data analysis after excluding participants with severe bone metabolic diseases, taking hormone drugs, incomplete follow-up data and who were under 45 years old. Age-standardized prevalence of osteoporosis was calculated according to data of the 2010 Sixth National Population Census. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the associated factors of osteoporosis. Results: Prevalence of osteoporosis was 42.3% (13 083/30 916) and age standardized prevalence was 40.7%: 35.0% (4 854/13 878) and 34.8% for males; 48.3% (8 229/17 038) and 47.1% for females. Significantly associated factors with osteoporosis for both males and females included: older age (male: OR=1.67, 95%CI: 1.40-1.99; female:OR=3.34, 95%CI: 2.70-4.13), lower BMI (male: OR=1.70, 95%CI: 1.40-2.06; female: OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.04-1.53), exercise (male: OR=0.69, 95%CI: 0.61-0.78; female: OR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.80-0.96), abnormal elevated serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (male: OR=1.12, 95%CI: 1.01-1.24; female: OR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.06-1.25), γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) (male: OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.02-1.30; female: OR=1.13, 95%CI: 1.03-1.24) and aspartate transaminase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) (male: OR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.05-1.25; female: OR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.19-1.38). Smoking (OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.07-1.39) and drinking (OR=1.11, 95%CI: 1.08-1.16) were associated factors for males while menopausal (OR=1.67, 95%CI: 1.47-1.89) for females. There were positive dose-response correlation relationships of serum levels of ALP, γ-GT and AST/ALT with osteoporosis (all P values<0.05). Conclusion Osteoporosis was relatively common among retired population in Dongfeng-Tongji cohort. In addition to known factors such as older age, lower BMI and exercise, abnormal elevated serum ALP, γ-GT and AST/ALT were also associated with osteoporosis.

BACKGROUND:Ferroptosis and pyroptosis may play a role in the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis.There may be relevant biomarkers for the diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To search for the key genes related to ferroptosis and pyroptosis in postmenopausal osteoporosis using bioinformatics so as to further elucidate their biological mechanisms. METHODS:The data sets GSE56815 and GSE7429 of postmenopausal osteoporosis were downloaded from the GEO database,the national comprehensive gene expression database of the United States,and the two data sets were preprocessed.The differential expression analysis of the data was carried out by the limma package of R software,and the enrichment analysis was performed by DIVID and KOBAS.The protein-protein interaction network was mapped by STRING and Cytoscape,the Hub gene was selected by CytoHubba,and the key genes were screened by the ferroptosis database and pyroptosis database.The CIBERSORT package was used to determine the immune infiltration of postmenopausal osteoporosis samples and to analyze the correlation between key genes and immune cells RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 30 differential genes of postmenopausal osteoporosis were screened in the experimental samples,of which 9 genes were up-regulated and 21 genes were down-regulated.The enrichment of GO and KEGG pathways showed that the differences were mainly in"serine-type endopeptidase activity,""innate immune response,""special particle lumen,"and"renin secretion."The protein-protein interaction network showed the correlation of differential genes and the top 10 Hub genes with"Degree"value were selected using CytoHubba.Hub gene was intersected with the FerrDb database and cell pyroptosis dataset to obtain key genes ELANE and LCN2.Receiver operating characteristic curve and box diagram showed that the expression of ELANE and LCN2 in serum samples of postmenopausal osteoporosis was significantly lower than that in normal samples,indicating a good diagnostic value.Immune infiltration analysis showed that ELANE may be related to memory resting CD4+ T cells,M0 and M2 macrophages.LCN2 may be related to M0 macrophages.

Objective To analyze the influence of trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin on ser-um angiopoietin-2(Ang-2)and chitinase protein 40(YKL-40)levels and ultrasound parameters in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris(UAP).Methods A total of 133 elderly UAP pa-tients admitted in Hospital of the 81st Group of PLA Army from January 2021 to March 2024 were enrolled,and according to their treatment methods,they were divided into control group(64 cases,simple atorvastatin)and trimetazidine group(69 cases,atorvastatin+trimetazidine).After 4 weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy was observed in the two groups.Seattle Angina Question-naire(SAQ)score and nitroglycerin dosage,lipid metabolic indicators(TC,TG,LDL-C and HDL-C),cardiac ultrasound parameters[LVEF,LVEDD and left ventricle mass index(LVMI)],serum in-dicators[Ang-2,YKL-40 and von Willebrand factor(vWF),matrix metallo proteinase-9(MMP-9)]were compared between the two groups before treatment and after 4 weeks of treatment.The ad-verse reactions during treatment were also recorded in the two groups.Results The total effective rate was significantly higher in the trimetazidine group than the control group(84.06％vs 67.19％,P＜0.05).The SAQ score,HDL-C level and LVEF value were significantly risen in the two groups after treatment(P＜0.05),and these indicators were obviously higher in the trimetaz-idine group than the control group(P＜0.01).The nitroglycerin dosage,levels of TC,TG and LDL-C,LVEDD and LVMI values and serum contents of Ang-2,YKL-40,vWF and MMP-9 were significantly reduced in the two groups after treatment when compared with those before treat-ment(P＜0.05),and these indicators in the trimetazidine group were lower than those in the con-trol group(P＜0.01).There was no statistical difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Trimetazidine combined with atorvastatin can en-hance the efficacy and improve the lipid metabolism and cardiac function in the treatment of elder-ly UAP patients,which might be due to down-regulating the serum levels of Ang-2,YKL-40,vWF and MMP-9.

Objective:To investigate the application value of fecal Syndecan-2 (SDC2) gene methylated SDC2 (m SDC2) detection in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among urban residents in Guangzhou City. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in Shitan Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou City from July to December 2022. A community-based screening program for CRC was conducted among residents aged 40-74 years old. m SDC2 detection was employed in the participants, and those with positive results should be recommended to receive colonoscopy examination. The positive rate of m SDC2 detection, colonoscopy compliance rate, detection rate of intestinal lesions and clinicopathological characteristics were observed. The relationship between cycle threshold (CT) value of m SDC2 and intestinal lesions was explored. Further, the cost-effectiveness of screening was evaluated. Results:A total of 8 189 fecal samples were collected from 8 877 participants with the recovery rate of 92.25%. 8 048 qualified samples were enrolled in this study, consisted of 3 182 males (39.54%) and 4 866 females (60.46%), with the average age of 56 years old (40-74 years). The positive rate of m SDC2 detection was 7.99% (643/8 048), and the compliance rate of colonoscopy was 73.10% (470/643). 20 cases (4.25%) of colorectal cancer, 109 cases (23.19%) of advanced adenoma, 145 cases (30.85%) of non-advanced adenoma, 79 cases (16.81%) of polyps were detected. The detection rate of intestinal lesions was 75.11% and indicated significant differences in gender and age. 20 CRCs included 15 of stage 0-I, 4 of stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ and 1 of unknown stage. The CT value of m SDC2 was negatively correlated with the proportion of advanced colorectal neoplasms ( χ2=16.063, P<0.001). The total cost of the screening was 4.339 5 million yuan, the screening benefit was 28.506 2 million yuan, and the benefit-cost ratio was 6.57. Conclusion:The CRC screening strategy of fecal m SDC2 detection combined with colonoscopy has high colonoscopy compliance and detection rate of intestinal lesions, which is conducive to the detection of early CRCs, and has good cost-effectiveness. This study suggests that this method may be applied to the general CRC screening in China and contribute to the prevention of CRC. The CT value of m SDC2 may have a certain suggestion on the malignant degree of intestinal tumors.
