Background and purpose:Gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma(G-EAC)is a rare variant of endocervical adenocarcinoma,characterized by atypical clinical manifestations and elusive lesions.Due to these factors,G-EAC is prone to being missed or misdiagnosed,significantly impacting the prognosis.Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia(LEGH)and atypical LEGH(aLEGH)are considered to be precancerous lesions of G-EAC.These conditions also present overlapping clinical,pathologic and imaging manifestations,making it challenging to differentiate between them preoperatively.The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)findings of cystic-solid lesions in the cervix and their underlying pathology in order to enhance the accuracy of distinguishing between LEGH and G-EAC,ultimately aiding in the early diagnosis and appropriate management of these conditions.Methods:Clinical,imaging and pathological data of 37 LEGH and 53 G-EAC patients who attended the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from July 2016 to August 2023 were collected.Analysis was conducted using Pearson Chi-square χ2,Fisher's exact tests and so on.Multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used for performance evaluation.Results:In this study,differences in age,symptoms,extent,size,composition,degree of enhancement,cervical stromal ring,endometrium invasion,pelvic lymph nodes enlargement,and hydrohystera were statistically significant between the two groups(P＜0.05).In the LEGH and aLEGH groups,lesions were primarily localized to the epithelial layer of the endocervical canal.These lesions were predominantly simple cystic(32/37),and the cystic walls often displayed significant enhancement(31/37).In contrast,the G-EAC group presented with lesions involving the myometrium of the uterine cervix(42/53).These lesions were characterized by a solid component in the majority of cases(52/53),a tendency for the disappearance of the cervical stromal ring(46/53).Logistic regression analysis revealed that among the MRI features,lesion composition(OR=50.064)and incomplete cervical stromal ring(OR=40.180)were significant predictors for G-EAC.ROC analysis,incorporating lesion size,composition,enhancement degree,cervical stromal ring,and endometrial involvement,yielded an area under curve(AUC)of 0.970(95%CI:0.931-1.008).Conclusion:Combining multiple MRI features of cystic-solid lesions in the cervix aids in distinguishing between LEGH and G-EAC.

Non-peptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist(GnRH-antagonist)is a highly efficient and selective antagonist of GnRH receptor.The oral preparations(Elagolix,Relugolix and Linza-golix)had been approved for listing abroad.It shows efficacy in reducing the size of uterine fi-broid and controlling heavy bleeding.Appropriate combination of'add-back'therapy could improve the safety in medical application and patient com-pliance.Compared with other hormonal pharma-ceuticals,oral GnRH-antagonists showed promising prospects in the treatment of uterine fibroid.

Objective:To build a three-dimensional evaluation model of single bed efficiency in an obstetrics and gynecology hospital and provide reference for bed management in hospital.Methods:The sample ward and key indicators were determined through interviews. A two-level database was built according to patients′ data from hospital information system. K-means cluster analysis was used to get the beds classified by annual average vacancy(x), annual average turnover(y) and annual average case-mix index per capita(z). The authors built the three-dimensional bed efficiency model with x, y, z as boundaries and analyzed the bed efficiency by comparing the within group average point A k( x k, y k, z k) with the overall average point A0( x, y, z). Whereafter the bed efficiency of each medical work team was analyzed. Results:Thirty-six beds were classified into 4 categories according to utilization efficiency. 50% of the beds(18 beds) were well used, 28%(10 beds) had room for improvement, and 19%(7 beds) may have resource waste. Significant differences existed in bed efficiency among medical work teams.Conclusions:The model in our study can realize in-depth exploration by evaluating bed efficiency from two aspects of the whole ward and each medical work team. This model, which is mainly applicable to the situation where beds are under the charge of fixed medical work groups or doctors, can be adjusted and extended to meet different strategic needs of hospitals.

OBJECTIVE: Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is an important molecule in the early stress response of DNA damage, which is involved in DNA damage repair and cellular senescence. Olaparib, as PARP inhibitor, has an anti-tumor effect on high grade serous ovarian cancer, but its effects on cellular senescence have not been reported. This study intends to explore the role of olaparib in the regulation of senescence in ovarian cancer cells. METHODS: The effects of olaparib on the senescence of ovarian cancer cells were detected by using the senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) and senescence-associated heterochromatin aggregation (SAHF). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The effect of olaparib on tumor growth was analyzed in a nude mouse xenograft transplantation model. RESULTS: Long-term (6 days) treatment with olaparib (5 μM) significantly inhibited the growth of ovarian cancer cells, leading to arrest the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, significant increase the number of positive SA-β-Gal stained cells and positive SAHF cells. The expression of P16 and retinoblastoma protein (p-RB) were significantly enhanced in SKOV3 cells under olaparib treated, meanwhile, the expression of P53 and p-RB were upregulated in A2780 cells. In OVCAR-3 cells, the expression of P53 was downregulated and p-RB was upregulated. Mice with SKOV3 xenograft transplantation was given olaparib (10 mg/kg/day) via abdominal cavity administration, the tumor volume was reduced (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Continuous low dosage administration of olaparib induced senescence under P16 or P53 dependent manner in ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the epidemiology characteristics of crawfish related rhabdomyolysis (RM) in Nanjing, 2016.Methods Outpatient and inpatient electronic medical system of 21 hospitals in Nanjing during 2016 were retrospectively searched, and all the patients diagnosed with RM were selected. The patients with none crayfish-related RM was excluded. The epidemiology characteristics were depicted. The geographic information system (GIS) was used to collect, manage and analyze the spatial data, to visualize it, to analyze the spatial distribution features of the disease, and to explore the cause of disease prediction. GeoDa 1.8 software was used to analyze the global and local spatial auto-correlation.Results A total of 1183 patients with crawfish related RM were initially screened, excluding 59 patients with RM caused by trauma, severe exercise, heat stroke, myositis, poisoning, drugs, and genetic diseases, and 1124 patients were enrolled. The proportion of men was 36.48% (410/1124) with an incidence of 12.54/100 thousands; while of women was 63.52% (714/1124) with an incidence of 21.86/100 thousands. The median age at onset was 34 (28, 43) years. From July to August, the incidence of crawfish related RM was the highest, accounting for 96.53% of the total number of cases. The top four incidence areas were Pukou (41.54/100 thousands), Jianye (25.94/100 thousands), Qixia (25.73/100 thousands), Gulou (25.04/100 thousands), all of which were adjacent to the Yangtze River. Global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed: MoranI = 0.427,Z = 2.646,P = 0.003, suggesting that the crawfish related RM had positive spatial autocorrelation. The results showed that the spatial structure of crawfish related RM existed in Nanjing in 2016. Local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the high-high concentration areas were Pukou, Jianye and Liuhe. The incidences of above three areas which were the Nanjing section of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River flowed through the region and surrounding areas were higher than the overall incidence of Nanjing.Conclusion The prevalence of crawfish related RM in Nanjing during 2016 had an obvious region-concentrated character and global spatial autocorrelation with the high prevalent regions mainly concentrated in the urban areas adjacent to the Yangtze River.
