Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of temperature-controlled radiofrequency combined with electrical stimulation biofeedback on postpartum dyspareunia in women.Methods In this study,166 patients suffering from dyspareunia due to pelvic floor muscle hypertonicity who visited the Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Medicine Center of our hospital were selected as subjects.They were randomly divided into three groups:the electrical stimulation biofeedback treatment group(55 cases),the radiofrequency treatment group(55 cases),and the combined electrical stimulation biofeedback and radiofrequency treatment group(56 cases).Patients in the electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy group received only electrical stimulation biofeedback therapy;patients in the radiofrequency group were treated solely with radiofrequency therapy;and patients in the combined treatment group began receiving gynecological radiofrequency treatment from the second week,in addition to the same treatment as the electrical stimulation biofeedback treatment group.To evaluate the effectiveness of the three treatment methods,comparative analyses were conducted on the pelvic floor modified Oxford muscle strength measurement results,pelvic floor surface electromyography values,and sexual function(FSFI)scores of the three groups of patients before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the average resting electromyography(EMG)value of the combined treatment group decreased(P＜0.05),indicating a significant improvement in muscle relaxation function.After treatment,the combined treatment group showed significant improvements in the pelvic floor modified Oxford muscle strength test,the maximum EMG value of fast-twitch(type Ⅱ fibers)muscles,the average EMG value of slow-twitch(type Ⅰ fibers)muscles,and the average EMG value of endurance test,and also demon-strated significant improvements in sexual function(FSFI)scores,which were superior to the electrical stimulation biofeedback treatment group and the radiofrequency treatment group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combined treatment of temperature control radiofrequency and electrical stimulation with biofeedback has shown significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of postpartum dyspareunia,offering a broad prospect for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of intravaginal CO2 fractional laser combined with interferon in treating persistent high-risk HPV infection of the cervix and its impact on vaginal microecology.Methods A total of 211 patients with persistent high-risk HPV infection of the cervix who visited Kunming Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from June 2022 to July 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a follow-up(blank control)group(n=70),an interferon treatment group(n=70),and a combined treatment group(n=71).The follow-up group received regular follow-ups.The interferon treatment group was treated with recombinant human interferon α-2b,and the combined treatment group received a combination of CO2 matrix laser and interferon treatment.The total effective rate,levels of inflammatory factors,and vaginal microecological recovery were compared among the three groups at 3 and 6 months after treatment.Results Overall efficacy:The overall efficacy rates of the combined treatment group at 3 months and 6 months were 73.24%and 81.69%,respectively,significantly higher than those of the interferon group(47.14%and 60.00%)and the blank control group(11.43%and 18.57%)(all P<0.001).Inflammatory factors:Post-treatment levels of IL-1 and TNF-α in the combined treatment group were significantly lower than those in the other two groups(P<0.001).Vaginal microbiota:The combined treatment group had a significantly higher rate of normal PH(84.51%)and normal lactobacillus levels(92.96%)compared to the other two groups(P<0.001).Conclusion CO2 lattice laser combined with interferon can effectively eliminate HPV,improve inflammation and vaginal microenvironment,and demonstrates superior efficacy to monotherapy,with good safety.

Background and Aims:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)is a common surgical method for the treatment of gallbladder diseases.However,some patients experience symptoms such as dyspepsia after surgery,which can affect their quality of life.Compound azinomide enteric-coated tablets,a novel drug,may improve dyspeptic symptoms after LC.This study was conducted to explore the clinical efficacy of compound azinomide enteric-coated tablets in treating post-LC dyspepsia symptoms through a multicenter clinical trial.Methods:A multicenter,superior efficacy,open-label,parallel-controlled design was used.Patients with postoperative dyspepsia were enrolled in 7 centers between January 2023 and May 2024.Patients were randomly assigned to either the observation or control groups using a random number table.The observation group received compound azinomide enteric-coated tablets,while the control group was treated with a combination of oryzae pancreatin tablets and ursodeoxycholic acid tablets.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.The primary endpoints included gastrointestinal symptom scores and quality of life scores assessed before and at 14 and 28 d after treatment.Additionally,the incidence of adverse reactions and cost-effectiveness ratio(CER)were compared between the groups.Results:A total of 303 patients were included,with 150 in the observation group and 153 in the control group.Baseline characteristics were balanced between the groups before treatment(all P>0.05).After treatment,the observation group showed significantly higher effective rates at 14 d and 28 d than the control group(44.7%vs.29.4%;98.0%vs.73.9%,both P<0.05).The observation group also had significantly lower symptom scores and quality of life scores at both 14 and 28 d,with a significantly higher improvement rate in symptom scores compared to the control group(all P<0.05).Further analysis of the improvement rate and treatment efficacy for individual symptoms revealed that,except for the 14-d improvement in abdominal pain/discomfort,the observation group showed better improvement in all other symptoms at 14 d and in all symptoms at 28 d compared to the control group(all P<0.05).No adverse reactions were observed in either group.The CER for the observation group was 283.78 yuan/efficacy rate at 14 d and 128.57 yuan/efficacy rate at 28 d,while the control group's CER was 729.93 yuan/efficacy rate at 14 d and 290.22 yuan/efficacy rate at 28 d.Conclusion:Compound azinomide enteric-coated tablets demonstrated good clinical efficacy in treating dyspepsia symptoms after LC with excellent safety and high cost-effectiveness.Despite some limitations,the results provide a new treatment option for dyspepsia after LC.Larger-scale randomized controlled trials are needed to validate this study's conclusions further.

Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent cell death modality triggered by the accumulation of lipid peroxides and is closely linked to tumor pathogenesis. Ferritinophagy refers to the selective autophagic degradation of ferritin, releasing intracellular stored iron to maintain iron metabolic homeostasis. This process is also significantly associated with tumor-targeted interventions. This review systematically elucidates the mechanisms of ferroptosis and ferritinophagy, their roles in tumor progression, and the therapeutic potential of pharmacologically induced ferritinophagy in anticancer strategies.

Purpose Exploring the clinical indications of coronary artery magnetic resonance imaging(CMRA)from the perspectives of diagnostic efficacy and image quality,providing reference for the clinical application of this technology.Materials and Methods From May 2021 to March 2024,a prospective study was conducted on 110 patients who planned to undergo coronary angiography(CAG)at the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.3.0T whole heart CMRA examination was performed within one week before CAG surgery,and relevant data was collected and recorded.The diagnostic efficacy of CMRA was evaluated comprehensively,the correlation between CMRA image quality and diagnostic efficacy were analyzed,and the relationship between patient factors and CMRA image quality was verified.Results Based on multi-level evaluation,CMRA had a higher diagnostic accuracy for significant coronary artery stenosis(area under the curve>0.811).The diagnostic results of CMRA were affected by image quality.When the image quality was medium or poor,the diagnostic results of CMRA and CAG were prone to inconsistency,while when the image quality was excellent or good,the diagnostic results were mostly consistent.Conclusion CMRA has similar diagnostic efficacy to CAG and high clinical application potential.The quality of CMRA images can easily affect diagnostic efficiency,and image quality should be evaluated before clinical diagnosis.

Objective: Although previous studies have validated the effect of childhood trauma on depressive level, few studies have utilized the diathesis-stress theory to investigate the specific roles of perceived stress and rumination in the pathway between childhood trauma and depression in Chinese college students. This study aims to demonstrate the mediation effect of perceived stress and the moderation effect of rumination in the pathway between childhood trauma and depressive level in Chinese college students. Methods: A total of 995 Chinese college students in Guangzhou were included in this study by recruitment advertisement from October to December 2021. And they were asked to finish four self-report questionnaires, including Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, Perceived Stress Scale, the 22-item Ruminative Response Scale, and Beck Depression Scale-II. Then the data were analyzed with Mplus 8.3. Results: Results revealed significant correlations among childhood trauma, perceived stress, rumination and depressive level. Further analyses revealed that perceived stress played a mediation role between childhood trauma and depressive level (estimate=0.09, standard error [SE]=0.02, t=5.93, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.06–0.12), and rumination played a moderation role between childhood trauma and perceived stress (estimate=-0.17, SE=0.06, t=-2.86, 95% CI=-0.28– -0.05]) as well as between childhood trauma and depressive level (estimate=0.10, SE=0.04, t=2.74, 95% CI=0.03–0.16). Conclusion These results revealed the mediation effect of perceived stress and the moderation effect of rumination in the pathway between childhood trauma and depressive level in Chinese college students, which helped us to understand how the childhood trauma influenced the depressive level and gave us multi-dimensional indications for reducing the effect of childhood trauma on depressive level.

Objective To observe the value of amide proton transfer(APT)imaging for assessing central nervous system damages in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and the correlations with MR spectroscopy(MRS)and lung function parameters.Methods Thirty-nine stable COPD patients(COPD group)and 34 healthy subjects(control group)were prospectively enrolled.Images of plain head MR,3D-APT and thalami MRS were acquired,and parameters of lung function were obtained.The basic data,outcomes of voxel-based morphometry(VBM)analysis,APT values in multiple brain regions and thalami MRS metabolite parameters were compared between groups,and the correlations of thalamus APT values with thalamus MRS metabolites parameters and lung function parameters were explored.Results Lung function parameters in COPD group were lower than those in control group,while cerebrospinal fluid volume(CSFV)and total brain volume(TIV)in COPD group were lager than those in control group(all P＜0.05).Compared with those in control group,APT values of bilateral thalami,right temporal lobe and right occipital lobe in COPD group were higher,and the peak value of N-acetyl aspartate(NAA)of bilateral thalami and NAA/creatin of right thalamus in COPD group were lower(all P＜0.05).Within COPD group,APT values of bilateral thalami were positively correlated(r=0.641),while APT values of left thalamus showed negative correlation(r=-0.435)with NAA values left thalamus and negative correlation(r=-0.432)with the forced expiratory volume in the first one second after bronchodilator administration(FEV1)(all P＜0.05).Conclusion APT values of central nervous system elevated and NAA values decreased in COPD patients.There were negative correlations between left thalamus APT and NAA values,also between APT values of left thalamus and FEV1.
