Objective To investigate the influential factors on the effectiveness of the first 131I ablation therapy on thyroid remnant and of 131I treatment on metastatic lesions in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients. Methods Retrospectively,46 DTC cases (divided into complete-ablation group and incomplete-ablation group) of first 131I ablation were enrolled,and 40 DTC cases (divided into remission group and in-remission group) of consecutive 131I treatments on metastatic lesions were enrolled. Influential factors were analyzed (t-test,t'-test,x2-test,Fisher exact test) and logistic regression analysis was performed. Results For the first 131I ablation effectiveness,surgical method,remnant thyroid weight,thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level,interval between surgery and 131I ablation therapy,metastatic status were selected as influential factors (x2 = 5. 804,t' = - 5. 258,t' = 7. 376,x2 = 8. 867,x2 = 8. 615,all P <0. 05). After logistic regression analysis,formula was obtained as y = 3. 766 - 0. 947x1 ( remnant thyroid weight) -3. 149 x2 (lymph node metastasis) -3. 373 x3 (distant metastasis). For metastatic treatment effectiveness,remission rate of papillary DTC was higher than that of follicular DTC,remission rate of patients with lymph node metastasis was higher than that of distant metastasis,remission rate of total thyroidectomy was higher than that of other types of thyroidectomy ( Fisher exact test,x2 = 7. 278,P < 0. 05 ). In remission group,serum TSH level was much higher and thyroglobulin (Tg) level was much lower before the first ablation therapy (t =4. 489,t' = -4.906,all P <0.01 ). After logistic regression analysis,formula was obtained as y = - 0. 363 + 0. 065 x4 ( TSH level) - 0. 250 x5 ( Tg level). Conclusions Influential factors of success rate of the first 131I ablation therapy included surgical method,remnant thyroid weight,TSH level,interval between surgery and 131I ablation therapy and metastatic status,while determinant factors were thyroid remnant weight,lymph node metastatic status and distant metastatic status. The influential factors of success rate of 131I treatment on metastatic lesions included pathological type,surgical method,metastatic status,TSH level and Tg level,while determinant factors were TSH level and Tg level before the first 131I ablation therapy.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical features of gynecological diseases in hospitalized children.
METHODSA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 147 children with gynecological diseases who were hospitalized and treated in the department of gynecology.
RESULTSAmong the 147 children, ovarian tumors were most common (53 cases, 36.1%), followed by reproductive tract dysplasia or malformation (29 cases, 19.7%), adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding (18 cases, 12.2%), traumatic injury in the vulva/vagina (15 cases, 10.2%), and vaginal foreign body (8 cases, 5.4%). The main symptoms of ovarian tumors included abdominal pain and abdominal or pelvic mass. Progressive abdominal pain was a main symptom in children with reproductive tract dysplasia or malformation. The children with adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding manifested as irregular or a lot of vaginal bleeding. The children with ovarian tumors and reproductive tract malformation or dysplasia were given surgical treatment, and those with adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding were given different sex hormones based on their clinical manifestations and endometrial thickness. Eight children with vaginal foreign body underwent hysteroscopy for vaginal examination, and the foreign body was successfully removed without the damage of the hymen. One patient with tubal pregnancy underwent laparoscopic tubal pregnancy debridement. One patient with hydatid mole was diagnosed with invasive hydatid mole after complete curettage of uterine cavity and then received chemotherapy.
CONCLUSIONSThe top three gynecological diseases in children are ovarian tumors, reproductive tract dysplasia or malformation, and adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Common chief complaints of the patients include abdominal pain, abdominal masses, and irregular vaginal bleeding. Diagnosis and treatment should fully consider the physiological and reproductive features of children and give full play to the advantages of laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and ultrasound.
