Objective To evaluate the impact of bilateral ovariectomy in post-menopausal women by comparison of climacteric symptoms before and after operation. Methods Post-menopausal women who received hysterectomy with concurrent bilateral ovariectomy on benign uterine indications were recruited.Climacteric symptoms before and after operation were accessed by a questionaire including modified Kupperman Index.Comparison was made after grouping the patients into early menopause group,whose menopausal period was no more than 5 years,and late menopause group,whose menopausal period was more than 5 years. Results Among a total of 95 individuals,8 had normal,46 had mild,34 had moderatc,and the other 7 had severe Kupperman Index scores before operation,while 5 had normal,28 had mild,48 had moderate,and the other 14 had severe Kupperman Index scores after operation,with more moderate and severe climacteric symptoms after operation than before operation(P<0.05).Women of early menopause group had higher total Kupperman Index scores and symptom scores of sweating,insomnia,depression,fatigue and headache than those of late menopause group before operation(P<0.05).Women of early menopause group had significantly higher Kupperman Index scores after operation than before operation(23.93±7.53 vs 17.63±8.07,P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in total Kupperman Index scores in women of late menopause group before and after operation. Conclusion Bilateral ovariectomy may affect the climacteric symptoms in post-menopausal women,especially in early menopausal period.

Objective To investigate the effects of ethinylestradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets(Diane-35)on endocrine metabolism in non-obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS). Methods Fifty-three non-obese patients with PCOS were assigned to the 6-month treatment with Diane-35.Body mass index(BMI),waist to hip ratio(WHR),F-G score and acne score were recorded before treatment and at the end of the third and sixth cycle after treatment.Serum total testosterone,follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),LH/FSH,fast plasma glucose,fast insulin and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)were obtained at early follicular phase and at the end of the third and sixth month.Results There was no significant change in BMI and WHR after treatment.Compared with those before treatment.F-G score,acne score,serum total testosterone,LH and LH/FSH were significantly decreased at two time points after treatment (P<0.05).BMI and HOMA-IR in patients with insulin resistance were significantly higher at the end of the sixth cycle after treatment than those before treatment(P<0.05). Conclusion Diane-35 can improve hyperandrogenism in non-obese patients with PCOS.However,Diane-35 may aggravate insulin resistance in those with insulin resistance.

Objective To investigate the value of transcatheter thrombolysis treatment of acute A V internal fistula thrombogenesis in hemodialysis patients. Methods The acute A V fistula thrombogenesis in 32 hemodialysis patients with chronic renal failure were treated with transcatheter pulse spray pharmacomechnical thrombolysis (PSPMT). Results Acute A V fistula thrombogenesis was verified in all 32 patients by angiography and treated with transcatheter PSPMT. The immediate clinical success rate of thrombolysis was achieved in 97% except for one case. The A V fistulas were proved to reopen by post treatment angiography. Recurrent thrombosis was found in 4 cases, reopenning with transcatheter PSPMT was achieved in 2 of them and the rest 2 cases were undergone PTA because of localized vascular stenosis. All the 32 A V fistulae, were reopened after treatment without serious complications such as hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism and others.Conclusions Transcatheter PSPMT is a safe, effective and microinvasive treatment for acute A V fistula thrombolysis with higher immediate reopenning rate. Transcatheter PSPMT combined with PTA and intravascular stent grafting can improve long term patency rate.

[Objective]To study the effect of curcumin on the cholesterol metabolism of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) cells model induced in vitro and its potential mechanism. [ Methods]The cellmodel of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) was established by oleic acid and treated with curcumin. The method of oil red O staining was used to observe accumulation of intracellular lipid while the intracellular content of TG, FC and TC was detected by enzymatic method. Meanwhile, the mRNA levels of SR-BΙand HMGCR were detected with qPCR.[ Results] The NAFLD cellmodel was successful y established by culturing with 30 μg·mL-1 oleic acid. After curcumin intervention, TG, FC and intracellular lipid accumulation levels were significantly reduced in NAFLD cellmodel. Meanwhile, curcumin can reduce HMGCR mRNA expression and raise SR-BΙ mRNA expression. [Conclusion] Curcumin can decrease FC level in NAFLD cellmodel and the mechanism might be related with its capacity of restraining endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis and promoting foreign cholesterol transfer into the liver cells for metabolism.
