Objective:
To translate the Menopause Perception Scale (MPS) into Chinese, and evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the MPS.
Methods:
The MPS was translated back-translated, culturally adapted and pre-tested according to the Brislin translation model to develop the Chinese version of MPS. The menopausal women from five communities were selected using simple random sampling to assess the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of MPS. Content validity was evaluated based on expert ratings, criterion-related validity was evaluated using the Chinese version of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) as the criterion. Structural validity was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach's α, and split-half reliability and test-retest reliability were calculated.
Results:
Totally 430 questionnaires were allocated, and 414 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 96.28%. The Chinese version of the MPS consisted of 18 items across four dimensions: acceptance, sexual perception, normalization, and support perception. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.833 to 1.000, and the scale-level content validity index average was 0.924. The correlation coefficients between the scores of each dimension and the total scores of the Chinese version of the MPS and the Chinese version of the MRS ranged from 0.529 to 0.790 (all P<0.05). Exploratory factor analysis extracted four common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 64.502%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed good model fit, with a root mean square error of approximation of 0.052, root mean square residual of 0.053, comparative fit index of 0.958, Tucker-Lewis index of 0.950, goodness of fit index of 0.908, incremental fit index of 0.958, and relative fit index of 0.884. The Cronbach's α of the Chinese version of the MPS was 0.916, the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.845, and the test-retest reliability was 0.906.
Conclusion
The Chinese version of the MPS demonstrates good reliability and validity, and can be used to assess the perceptions and attitudes of menopausal women in China toward menopause.

[Objective] To summarize the clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, treatment options and prognosis of the world's first case of prostate ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) complicated with prostate mucinous adenocarcinoma (PMA). [Methods] The clinical and follow-up data of a patient with PDA and PMA treated in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature in PubMed and CNKI databases was retrieved. [Results] The patient sought medical attention due to dysuria, frequent urination, urinary urgency and urinary pain for more than half a year, and was admitted to hospital 3 times in total.The initial diagnosis upon the first admission was benign prostatic hyperplasia complicated with prostatic abscess.After 2 months, the patient was readmitted due to worsening symptoms, received transurethral bladder neck incision+ cystoscopy+ transurethral plasma resection of the prostate, and postoperative diagnosis confirmed PDA with local PMA.Three months after surgery, the patient had bleeding.After auxiliary examinations revealed extensive metastasis, he received hormonal therapy.After 9 months, the patient died due to multiple lung metastases. [Conclusion] Early diagnosis has a significant impact on the treatment and prognosis, but there have been no previous reports of PDA combined with PMA, so the lack of specific biomarkers in the early stage has led to missed diagnosis or misdiagnoses.There is no specific treatment for PDA with PMA. Radical prostatectomy was not satisfactory in the treatment of this case.

Objective To explore hemodynamic performance of the aortic dissection after lesions, so as to provide a more scientific basis for patient treatment. Methods Based on computed tomography angiography (CTA) image data from a patient with complex Stanford B-type aortic dissection, the personalized aortic dissection models with different rupture shapes (H-type, O-type, and V-type) at proximal end of the aortic dissection were established. Combined with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and morphological analysis method, distributions of the velocity at rupture section, the blood flow, the wall pressure and the wall shear stress (WSS) were analyzed. Results The flow velocity, the highest pressure difference and the WSS proportion at entrance of the H-shaped rupture showed larger hemodynamic parameters than those of the other two types. The risk of dissection rupture for type H was the largest, while type V was in the middle, and type O was the smallest. Conclusions This study provides an effective reference for further numerical analysis the cases and formulation of treatment plans.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with severe drug eruption.Methods:Clinical data including basic information (gender, age, body mass index), type of severe drug eruption, allergenic drugs, co-existing diseases, first laboratory findings after admission, renal function during hospitalization, etc. in patients with severe drug eruption admitted to Department of Dermatology, Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2014 to December 2020 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group and the clinical data were compared between the 2 groups. The risk factors of AKI in patients with severe drug eruption were analyzed by a binary logistic regression model and the odds ratio ( OR) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated. Results:A total of 91 patients were enrolled in the study, including 50 males and 41 females, aged 54 (40, 65) years with a range of 9-85 years. The drugs that induced severe drug eruptions were allopurinol in 48 patients, antiepileptic drugs in 23 patients, antibacterial drugs in 6 patients, and other drugs in 14 patients. There were 21 patients (AKI incidence: 23.1%) in the AKI group and 70 patients in the non-AKI group. The proportion of patients sensitized to antiepileptic drugs, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate, levels of serum albumin and hemoglobin in the AKI group were lower than those in the non-AKI group [0 (0/21) vs. 32.9% (23/70), (70±12) ml/(min·1.73 m 2) vs. (103±6) ml/(min·1.73 m 2), 26(23, 30) g/L vs. 36(34, 38) g/L, (116±17) g/L vs. (129±15) g/L], the proportions of patients sensitized to allopurinol, with diabetes mellitus, and with chronic kidney diseases, baseline serum urea nitrogen level, serum creatinine level, and proportion of urinary albumin positive patients were all higher than those in the non-AKI group [81.0%(17/21) vs. 44.3%(31/70), 28.6%(6/21) vs. 7.1%(5/70), 28.6%(6/21) vs. 5.7%(4/70), 7.2 (4.6, 12.2) mmol/L vs. 5.0 (3.8, 6.4) mmol/L, 103 (63, 134) μmol/L vs. 67 (56, 79) μmol/L, 47.6%(10/21) vs. 17.1%(12/70)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that allopurinol sensitization ( OR=6.588, 95 %CI: 1.006-43.123, P=0.049) was the independent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe drug eruption and serum albumin ( OR=0.595, 95 %CI: 0.471-0.752, P<0.001) was a protective factor. Conclusions:Allopurinol sensitization was the independent risk factor for AKI in patients with severe drug eruption. Patients with low serum albumin were more likely to develop AKI.

Objective:To study the dose response of two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detectors under IMRT fields irradiation at different gantry angles and different directions.Methods:After the dose calibration of the medical accelerator and the two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector respectively, the solid water phantom was used to cover the upper part of the two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector. Adjusting the thickness of the solid water, the effective distances between the effective measuring center of the two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector and the incident point of the central axis of the radiation on the surface of the phantom was always controlled at 5 cm. Four locations with 0、45、90 and 135 degrees of the long axis of the treatment bed were selected, and each location was irradiated by IMRT fields at different frame angle of 60°, 45°, 30°, 15°, 0°, -15°, -30°, -45° and -60°, respectively.Results:The dose deviation of the medical accelerator was less than 0.18% in the range of different rack angles. The directional response deviation of the two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector was less than 0.63%, and the measurement deviation of each probe of the two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector to its center probe was less than 0.50%.Conclusions:The two-dimensional ionization chamber matrix detector has good directional response and it is a useful tool for developing intensity-modulated radiotherapy technology. The method proposed in this study can provide a basic basis for the relevant medical accelerator metrology departments to formulate corresponding quality control test specifications.
