OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical effectiveness of triptorelin combined with Biejiajian pill in the treatment of adenomyosis (AM). METHODS Totally 186 patients with AM admitted to Nanyang First People’s Hospital from January 2022 to October 2024 were selected as subjects and randomized into control group (n=93) and observation group (n=93) using the random number table method. Patients in the control group received subcutaneous injections of triptorelin acetate around the umbilicus. In addition to the treatment of control group, patients in the observation group orally administered Biejiajian pill. Both groups underwent treatment for 12 weeks and were followed up for 6 months post-treatment. The clinical efficacy, recurrence and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptoms, endometrial receptivity indicators (endometrial thickness, uterine volume, endometrial resistance index and vascular index), laboratory indexes (serum luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, estradiol, carbohydrate antigen 125, insulin-like growth factor-1, and matrix metalloproteinase 9) were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. RESULTS A total of 164 patients completed the treatment and follow-up, among whom 80 cases were in control group and 84 cases in the observation group. The overall effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, while the incidence of low estrogen levels and recurrence rate were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of nausea or abnormal liver and kidney function between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the pain Visual Analogue Scale scores, Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart, TCM symptoms scores, endometrial thickness, uterine volume, endometrial resistance index, and laboratory indicators in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment within the same group (P<0.05). Moreover, these values were significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group (except for follicle stimulating hormone) (P<0.05). The endometrial vascular index of the two groups was significantly higher than that in the same group before treatment, and the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Triptorelin combined with Biejiajian pill has a definite therapeutic effect on AM, which can effectively improve the degree of dysmenorrhea and menstrual flow, improve endometrial receptivity, lower the recurrence rate in patients, and demonstrate good safety.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy, safety and recurrence of Kuntai capsules combined with Estradiol tablets/Estradiol dydrogesterone tablets in the treatment of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) as well as their effects on ovarian reserve function, sex hormones, and lymphocyte subsets. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 165 DOR patients in Nanyang First People’s Hospital. Among them, 80 patients who received Estradiol tablets/Estradiol dydrogesterone tablets (take one tablet per day according to the medication sequence on the instruction) were included in the control group, while 85 patients who additionally took Kuntai capsules (2.0 g per dose, three times daily) were included in the observation group. The treatment duration for both groups was three months. Clinical efficacy, the incidence of adverse drug reaction (ADR), recurrence rate, and changes in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome scores, ovarian reserve function indicators [anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), inhibin B (INHB), antral follicle count (AFC), endometrial thickness, and ovarian volume], sex hormones [follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol (E2)], and T lymphocyte subsets (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, and CD4 +/CD8 +) were compared before and after treatment. RESULTS The cure and significant improvement rate in the observation group was significantly higher than in the control group (82.35% vs. 65.00%, P<0.05). Compared to baseline levels, both groups showed significant reductions in TCM syndrome scores, FSH, LH, CD3+ and CD8+ levels after treatment, while AMH, INHB, E2, CD4 +, CD4 +/CD8 +, AFC, endometrial thickness, and ovarian volume significantly increased (P<0.05). The degree of improvement in these indicators was significantly greater in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of ADR between the two groups(P> 0.05). However, the recurrence rate within six months post-treatment was significantly lower in the observation group compared to the control group (5.88% vs. 21.25%, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Kuntai capsules combined with Estradiol tablets/ Estradiol dydrogesterone tablets have a significant therapeutic effect on DOR, which can improve ovarian reserve function of the patient, regulate sex hormone levels and T lymphocyte subsets, and reduce recurrence rates, with a high safety profile.

Objective:To analyse the clinical characteristics of 214 cases of paediatric high altitude pulmonary edema(HAPE)and the efficacy of dexamethasone in adjunctive therapy.Methods:This retrospective study analyzed 214 pediatric cases of HAPE admitted to the Department of Paediatrics of the General Hospital of Tibetan Military between June 2015 to June 2017 and June 2019 to June 2021.Patients were divided into dexamethasone-treated group and dexamethasone-untreated group.Baseline data,clinical characteristics were collected to evaluate the treatment efficacy and drug side effects.Results:There were 107 children in each of the two groups with a median age of 8(5,11)years. The median age of the dexamethasone-treated group was 9(6,12)years and the mean age of the dexamethasone-untreated group was 7(3,10)years. The proportion of male children was 69.60%(149/214);the onset of illness was mostly concentrated within 72 hours,accounting for 97.20%(208/214)of the cases;83.18%(178/214)of the cases had symptoms of combined upper respiratory tract infection before entering the plateau. The most important clinical symptoms of the children were cough(86.92%,186/214),cyanosis(70.09%,150/214),and shortness of breath(66.36%,142/214). The proportion of auscultatory rhonchi was 83.18%(178/214),and all cases showed positive findings on chest radiography. After the dexamethasone regimen,the overall cure rate of the children was 94.39%,the average disappearance time of the symptoms and signs was(40.52±7.85)h,and the average hospital stay was(3.60±1.90)d. After treatment with the dexamethasone-free regimen,the overall cure rate was 92.52%,the mean time to disappearance of symptoms and signs was(42.10±7.62)h,and the mean length of stay in the hospital was(3.84±2.08)d. There was no significant difference in the cure rate,the disappearance time of symptoms and signs,and the average hospitalisation days between the two groups( P>0.05),but a total of 11 children in the dexamethasone-treated group experienced adverse drug reactions,and no children in the dexamethasone-untreated group experienced adverse drug reactions. Conclusion:Han Chinese male children,particularly those with upper respiratory infections,should be closely monitored for HAPE risk within three days of ascending to high altitudes. This study does not recommend the use of dexamethasone for pediatric HAPE due to the lack of therapeutic benefits and potential adverse effects.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic salpingectomy in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy in patients and its effects on serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels.Methods:This study used a case-control design. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with ectopic pregnancy who received treatment at Jiande Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group ( n =35/group) according to the surgical methods used. The control group underwent open surgery, while the observation group received laparoscopic salpingectomy. Clinical indicators, postoperative recovery metrics, complications, and the time taken for symptom resolution were compared between the two groups. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels were measured and compared between the two groups both before surgery and 1 week after surgery. Results:The operation time in the observation group was longer than that in the control group [(45.87 ± 7.28) minutes vs. (36.52 ± 5.61) minutes, t = 6.02, P<0.001]. The intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group [(45.39 ± 8.84) mL vs. (93.42 ± 14.36) mL, t = -16.85, P<0.001]. The time to first passage of flatus, time to ambulation, and length of hospital stay in the observation group were (13.43 ± 3.61) hours, (6.98 ± 1.43) hours, and (4.01 ± 1.23) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(21.29 ± 4.57) hours, (11.29 ± 2.75) hours, (6.72 ± 1.84) days, t = -7.98, -8.23, -7.24, all P<0.001]. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [8.57% (1/35) vs. 31.43% (8/35), χ2 = 4.59, P = 0.017]. The time to pain resolution, time to disappearance of vaginal bleeding, and the time for menstrual recovery in the observation group were (3.56 ± 0.75) days, (7.68 ± 1.37) days, and (30.04 ± 8.73) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(4.90 ± 1.34) days, (9.74 ± 1.52) days, (46.58 ± 12.31) days, t = -5.16, -5.96, -7.24, all P<0.001]. At 1 week after surgery, serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(315.24 ± 39.48) IU/L vs. (559.71 ± 45.62) IU/L, t = -23.97, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Laparoscopic salpingectomy is highly effective for treating ectopic pregnancy. It can accelerate postoperative recovery and reduce serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) in training newly hired nurses′comprehensive emergency competence and to provide references for enhancing their capabilities.Methods:A quasi-experimental study was conducted using purposeful sampling. From September to December 2022, newly hired nurses at Liaocheng Second People′s Hospital were selected as research subjects and randomly assigned to a controlor an observation group using random number table. The control group received traditional group drill training, while the observation group underwent RCDP training. The study compared pre- and post-training scores of emergency theory and skill assessments, scores on the Chinese version of the Perceived Cognitive Ability Scale in Emergency Situations (PCAS), and training satisfaction levels between the two groups.Results:Each group comprised 30 nurses. The control group consisted of 3 males and 27 females, with a mean age of (22.70 ± 1.09) years; the observation group included 2 males and 28 females, with a mean age of (22.93 ± 0.87) years. Post-training comprehensive emergency competence assessment scores was (89.19 ± 1.47) in the control group and (93.00 ± 1.41) in the observation group, with a statistically significant difference ( t = - 4.60, P<0.01). The scores and total scores of PCAS in the observation group were (34.23 ± 1.91), (12.70 ± 1.62), (10.03 ± 1.52) and (56.97 ± 3.09), respectively, which were higher than the (31.70 ± 2.42), (11.90 ± 1.16), (9.10 ± 1.42), and (52.47 ± 3.65) in the control group, the difference between the two groups were statistically significant ( t value were - 5.16 - - 2.20, all P<0.05). The total score of training satisfaction of nurses in the observation group was (41.93 ± 2.53) points, and the difference was statistically significant compared with the (33.80 ± 2.58) pointsin the control group ( t = - 12.33, P<0.01). Conclusions:The application of the RCDP method in training newly recruited nurses′comprehensive emergency competence effectively enhances their learning enthusiasm and initiative, thereby improving training outcomes.

Objective:To translate the Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) into Chinese and assesses the psychometric properties of this tool.Methods:Following the Beaton cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, the Chinese version of BSS-R was formed through forward translation, back translation, expert consultation, and pre-testing. The present study was conducted in a sample of 347 women took part between 6-8 weeks postpartum, from the postpartum clinics of two tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province.Results:Totally 340 questionnaires were effectively collected with a majority of respondents aged 30-39 accounting for 64.7% of the total. The Chinese version of BSS-R comprises 10 items, which were classified into three domains as stress experienced during labour, women′s personal attributes, and quality of care provision. The Cronbach α coefficient was 0.745 for the total scale and ranged from 0.523 to 0.738 for sub-scales. The split-half reliability was 0.746 for the total scale, and ranged from 0.523 to 0.733 for sub-scales. Exploratory factor analysis revealed the presence of three components with eigen values greater than 1, explaining a total variance of 58.868%. The fit indices showed that the original correlated three factor model of Chinese version of BSS-R was adequate.Conclusions:The Chinese version of BSS-R can be considered a clear, easily understandable and convenient tool for assessing the women′s birth satisfaction in Chinese cultural context.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2025;32(10):1446-1449
Objective:To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic salpingectomy in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy in patients and its effects on serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels.Methods:This study used a case-control design. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 70 patients with ectopic pregnancy who received treatment at Jiande Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group ( n =35/group) according to the surgical methods used. The control group underwent open surgery, while the observation group received laparoscopic salpingectomy. Clinical indicators, postoperative recovery metrics, complications, and the time taken for symptom resolution were compared between the two groups. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels were measured and compared between the two groups both before surgery and 1 week after surgery. Results:The operation time in the observation group was longer than that in the control group [(45.87 ± 7.28) minutes vs. (36.52 ± 5.61) minutes, t = 6.02, P<0.001]. The intraoperative blood loss in the observation group was significantly less than that in the control group [(45.39 ± 8.84) mL vs. (93.42 ± 14.36) mL, t = -16.85, P<0.001]. The time to first passage of flatus, time to ambulation, and length of hospital stay in the observation group were (13.43 ± 3.61) hours, (6.98 ± 1.43) hours, and (4.01 ± 1.23) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(21.29 ± 4.57) hours, (11.29 ± 2.75) hours, (6.72 ± 1.84) days, t = -7.98, -8.23, -7.24, all P<0.001]. The incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [8.57% (1/35) vs. 31.43% (8/35), χ2 = 4.59, P = 0.017]. The time to pain resolution, time to disappearance of vaginal bleeding, and the time for menstrual recovery in the observation group were (3.56 ± 0.75) days, (7.68 ± 1.37) days, and (30.04 ± 8.73) days, respectively, which were significantly shorter than those in the control group [(4.90 ± 1.34) days, (9.74 ± 1.52) days, (46.58 ± 12.31) days, t = -5.16, -5.96, -7.24, all P<0.001]. At 1 week after surgery, serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [(315.24 ± 39.48) IU/L vs. (559.71 ± 45.62) IU/L, t = -23.97, P<0.001]. Conclusions:Laparoscopic salpingectomy is highly effective for treating ectopic pregnancy. It can accelerate postoperative recovery and reduce serum human chorionic gonadotropin levels.
