Objective To explore the clinical value of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) by analyzing the efficiency of GnRH-a treatment for moderate and severe endometriosis after laparoscopic conservative operations.Methods Two hundred and sixty-five females who accepted laparoscopic conservative operation were enrolled in this study,and they were confirmed by pathology for ovarian endometriosis cyst,in phase Ⅲ andⅣ,47 patients had fertility desire.According to whether use the drug and auxiliary species the postoperative cases were divided into 5 groups:102 cases without endocrinal therapy(untreated group),GnRH-a group of 3 months in 64 cases,GnRH-a group of 6 months in 31 cases;gestrinone group of 3 months in 38 cases,and gestrinone group of 6 months in 30 cases.All patients were followed up for 2 years,observed drug clinical effects,remission rate,improvement rate,recurrence rate,pregnancy outcomes and side effects.Results The remission rate in GnRH-a group of 6 months and gestrinone group of 6 months was significantly higher than that in untreated group [83.9% (26/31),73.3% (22/30) vs.52.9%(54/102)],the remission rate in GnRH-a group of 6 months was significantly higher than that GnRH-a group of 3 months [64.1% (41/64)],there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The recurrence rate in GnRH-a group of 3 months,GnRH-a group of 6 months,gestrinone group of 6 months was significantly lower than that in untreated group [12.5% (8/64),9.7% (3/31),10.0% (3/30) vs.27.5% (28/102)] (P < 0.05).The recurrence rate in gestrinone group of 6 months was significantly lower than that in gestrinone group of 3 months (P < 0.05).The recurrence time of GnRH-a group of 3 months,GnRH-a group of 6 months,gestrinone group of 6 months was significantly longer than that in untreated group [(14.05 ± 1.97),(16.76 ± 1.53),(16.12 ±2.15)months vs.(12.85 ± 1.80)months] (P <0.05).The recurrence time of gestrinone group of 3 months and untreated group had no significant difference(P > 0.05).The pregnancy rate of GnRH-a group and gestrinone group was higher than that in untreated group,but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).The rate of menopausal symptom in GnRH-a group was higher than that in gestrinone group [50.5% (48/95) vs.16.2% (11/68)].The rate of abnormal bleeding in vagina,acne and side-effect of aminotransferase in GnRH-a group were significantly lower than those in gestrinone group [1.1%(1/95) vs.7.4%(5/68),0 vs.8.8%(6/68),0 vs.5.9%(4/68)](P< 0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic conservative operations combined with GnRH-a on treatment of moderate and severe ovarian endometriosis can significantly improve remission rate,decrease recurrence rate.GnRH-a or gestrinone for 6 months,the pregnancy rate increases.In addition the side reactions of the two medicine have statistic difference,which of GnRH-a is lower.

To study the alteration of FHIT gene in tongue carcinoma Tca8113 cell line, total RNA of Tca8113 cells was extracted. The transcript of the FHIT gene of the Tca8113 cell line was detected with nest RT-PCR, and DNA was sequenced. The result showed that abnormal transcript (about 247 bp) of FHIT gene was detected in the Tca8113 cell line. The sequence analysis of the aberrant cDNAs revealed deletions of exons 1-8. Therefore, the deletion of the FHIT gene in Tca8113 cell line might support the hypothesis that the FHIT gene alteration is involved in the development of tongue carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the direct relationship between personality (PN) and sub-health status (SHS) and their indirect association mediated by frustration quotient (FQ) and stress event (SE).
METHODS:
A multiple-stage stratified sampling method was used to choose the participants, and a total of 4517 eligible urban residents were selected.ANCOVA was used to analyze the independent association between personality and SHS after adjusting the demographic characteristics and lifestyle.A structural equation model was used to analyze the associations among personality, FQ, SE and SHS.Bootstrap method was used to test the direct and indirect association between personality and SHS.
RESULTS:
Personality was independently associated with total sub-health (=75.913, < 0.001), physical sub-health (=23.618, < 0.001), mental sub-health (=101.993, < 0.001) and social sub-health (=48.757, < 0.001).The urban residents with the personalities characterized by anger suppression, anxiety and irritability, and impatience and competitiveness had significantly lower health scores than those with a mature and steady personality ( < 0.05).Personality was associated with FQ and SE, and the indirect association between personality and physical sub-health was mainly mediated by FQ and SE (β=-0.110).Personality showed more a direct association (β=-0.172) with mental sub-health and a slightly less indirect association (β=-0.126) with mental sub-health.Personality showed a more indirect association (β=-0.113) with social SHS and slightly less direct association (β=-0.082) with social sub-health.
CONCLUSIONS
A mature and steady personality may help to promote the general health level, while the personalities of anger suppression, anxiety and irritability, impatience and competitiveness can be associated with the occurrence of sub-health.Building a mature and steady personality has positive effects on the health in general of an individual.

OBJECTIVE:
To establish the norms of Sub-Health Measurement Scale (SHMS V1.0) for Chinese urban residents.
METHODS:
Using a multistage stratified sampling method, we conducted a large-scale epidemiological investigation among 15 066 urban residents sampled from 6 regions in China, including Tianjin City (north China), Guangdong Province (south China), Anhui Province (central south China), Sichuan Province (southwest China), Lanzhou City (northwest China) and Harbin City (northeast China). The mean, percentile and threshold norms were established based on the characteristics of SHMS V1.0 scores for Chinese urban residents.
RESULTS:
The mean and percentile norms of total, physical, mental and social sub-health of Chinese urban residents were established according to gender and different age groups (14-19, 20-29, 30-49, 50-64 and ≥65 years). The threshold norms of SHMS V1.0 divided 5 health states, namely disease, severe sub-health, moderate subhealth, mild sub-health and healthy states according to the ± and ±0.5 of the converted scores.
CONCLUSIONS
The norms of Sub-Health Measurement Scale (SHMS V1.0) for Chinese urban residents were established, which provides a reference for rapid screening and diagnosis of sub-health status in Chinese urban residents and facilitates further study of the prevalence and contributing factors of sub-health.
