OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of leuprorelin and mifepristone on sex hormone levels, ovarian function, adverse reactions, and recurrence in patients with endometriosis (EMs) after surgery. METHODS A total of 178 patients who underwent surgical treatment for EMs in Ji’an Central People’s Hospital from September 2021 to September 2023 were randomly divided into the leuprorelin group and the mifepristone group, with 92 cases in each group. Medication was initiated on days 1 to 5 of the first menstrual cycle following surgery. Patients in the leuprorelin group received subcutaneous injections of Leuprorelin acetate microspheres, 3.75 mg per time, once every four weeks, for a total of 6 injections. Patients in the mifepristone group took 12.5 mg of Mifepristone capsules orally once daily for six consecutive months. Visual analog scale (VAS), serum sex hormone levels [follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2)], ovarian function indicators [anti- Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC)], and T helper 1 cell (Th1)/Th2 shift markers [interferon-γ (IFN-γ), interleukin 2 (IL-2), IL-4, and IL-10] were compared between the two groups before surgery and after treatment. Incidence and outcome of adverse reactions and recurrence within one year were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in baseline indicators between the two groups before surgery (P>0.05). After treatment, both groups showed significantly lower VAS scores for chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia, and significantly reduced serum FSH, LH, E2, IL-4 and IL-10 levels compared to before surgery (P<0.05), while serum IFN-γ and IL-2 levels were significantly increased (P<0.05); the leuprorelin group showed significantly greater improvements than the mifepristone group in all these indicators (P<0.05). After treatment, serum AMH levels in both groups were significantly lower than before surgery levels, while AFC was significantly increased (P<0.05); the leuprorelin group had significantly higher serum AMH levels and more AFC compared to the mifepristone group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence of adverse reactions and outcome rates between the two groups (P>0.05). During one year of follow-up after discontinuation, the recurrence rate in the leuprorelin group was significantly lower than in the mifepristone group (1.15% vs. 10.99%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both leuprorelin and mifepristone are effective therapeutic drugs for EMs, but the former has advantages in alleviating pain, regulating serum sex hormone levels, protecting ovarian function, regulating immune function and reducing recurrence rates.

Objective:To calculate the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) value of the released low-energy electrons in gadolinium neutron capture therapy ( 157GdNCT) based on microdosimetry. Methods:The Monte Carlo (MC) code Geant4-DNA package was used to simulate the energy deposition distribution and microdosimetry parameters of low-energy electrons released during gadolinium neutron capture treatment in different sensitive target volumes and physical models on track structures. On this basis, RBE value was obtained based on the microdosimetry kinetic model (MKM).Results:The low-energy electron RBE value was highly variable in different sensitive target volumes and decreases with increasing sensitive target volumes. With 6-nm-diameter sensitive target as reference, RBE value was 1.77 for 6-nm diameter, 1.53 for 10 nm diameter with percentage difference 13%, and 1.40 for 15-nm diameter with percentage difference of 21%, respectively. The effect of different Geant4-DNA physical models on the RBE of low-energy electrons was small. Using the RBE value of 1.53 for physical model option2 as reference, the RBE values of option6 and option7 were 1.49 and 1.52, respectively, with the percentage differences of 2.6% and 0.6%, respectively.Conclusions:The RBE values of low energy electrons released by 157GdNCT in different sensitive target volumes and physical models were calculated by MKM to be 1.40-1.77.

Traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) has caused serious economic and social burdens, but due to its heterogeneity, there is no effective treatment. In TBI with different severity, diffuse axonal injury (DAI) incidenceis high. The investigation on DAI will contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of TBI. In this study, the classification of TBI and the research status of DAI were summarized. The method to judge the severity of TBI and DAI, and animal experimental models and related injury criteria and thresholds were reviewed. The result show that DAI is mainly generated by rotational acceleration and it is related to angular acceleration, angular velocity and duration. Several TBI animal models can induce the pathology of DAI, and inertial rotation models which can produce only rotational acceleration have been developed. However, these models are instantaneous rotation models, and the rotation duration is uncontrollable, thus a longer duration is impossible, and DAI severity under long rotational motion cannot be studied. The study proposes that a new rotation animal model which can control rotation duration should be developed. The development of the animal model and investigation on pathomechanism of the model will contribute to the prevention and treatment of DAI.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological and etiological characteristics of aggregation epidemics of infectious diarrhea induced by norovirus, and to provide the scientific basis for the prevention and control.
Methods:
A descriptive epidemiological analysis of aggregation epidemics events occurred during 2016-2018 in Longhua District of Shenzhen was carried out, with subtypes identified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, Region B and Region C fragment sequence determination.
Results:
There were 34 aggregation epidemic events,including 448 cases, the mean attack rate was 18.26%(448/2 454). The median duration of aggregation epidemic was 3 days. The peak season appeared in autumn and winter, and the peak of epidemic emerged from December 2016 to April 2017. About 91.18% (31/34) of the epidemics occurred in schools and child care centers, and among children aged 3-6 years (78.79%, 353/448). The clinical symptoms were mainly nausea and vomiting (95.77%, 408/426) in children and adolescents but diarrhea in adult group (95.45%, 21/22). The differences between vomiting and diarrhea were both statistically significant in the two age groups (χ2=98.89,99.61,P<0.01). 29 cases were transmitted through interpersonal network, of which 21 cases were found to have unregulated treatment of vomit on campus. The detection rate of biological samples was 49.15% (203/413), all of which were G Ⅱ norovirus. The genotype was mainly GⅡ.P16-G Ⅱ.2(n=49)from November 2016 to April 2017.
Conclusion
Norovirus can cause large-scale outbreaks in child care centers and schools easily. Early standardized patient isolation and proper management of vomit and diarrhea are the key steps in prevention and control measures.
