Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of menopausal syndrome among postmenopausal women in Pan'an County, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for guiding the health management of postmenopausal women.
Methods:
From May 2023 to April 2024, the postmenopausal women aged 40 to 69 years in Pan'an County were selected using the random cluster sampling method. Demographic information, lifestyle and prevalence of gynecological diseases were collected through questionnaire surveys. The prevalence of menopausal syndrome was assessed by modified Kupperman Score Scale. Factors affecting menopausal syndrome were analyzed by a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 816 postmenopausal women were surveyed, with an mean age of (57.63±2.92) years and a mean natural menopause age of (49.85±2.13) years. There were 574 cases with menopausal syndrome, with a prevalence of 70.34%. Flashes and sweating, insomnia and irritability were common symptoms, accounting for 62.87%, 47.43% and 41.18%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that monthly personal income of ≤5 000 yuan (<3 000 yuan, OR=3.124, 95%CI: 1.829-5.335; 3 000-5 000 yuan, OR=2.399, 95%CI: 1.370-4.201) and having gynecological diseases (OR=1.970, 95%CI: 1.292-3.004) were associated with a higher risk of menopausal syndrome, while average (OR=0.141, 95%CI: 0.072-0.276) or sufficient sleep quality (OR=0.095, 95%CI: 0.049-0.185) were associated with a lower risk of menopausal syndrome.
Conclusion
The prevalence of menopausal syndrome among postmenopausal women in Pan'an County is relatively high, and is mainly influenced by personal economic status, sleep quality and the presence of gynecological diseases.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of Professor LIU Shenlin in diagnosing and treating gastric cancer with the thinking of "prescription according to tendency". In this paper, the thinking of diagnosis and treatment for gastric cancer and medication skills were summarized into four dimensions: power, energy, chronology and situation. The diagnosis emphasizes the tendency of qi power, considering that the onset of gastric cancer primarily stems from the disorder of qi movement in zang-fu organs, and emphasizing the importance of regulating the liver and spleen qi to intercept the tendency of disease. It points out that dampness-phlegm-stasis-toxin is a crucial link leading to the metabolic imbalance of body energy, and Professor LIU adepts at using methods such as breaking up blood and expelling stasis, and clearing heat and resolving toxins to block the pathological chain reaction caused by energy imbalance and to restore the homeostasis of the organism. In the treatment process, according to the characteristics of gastric cancer staging and chronological evolution, we will explore the changes of the exuberance and weakness of healthy qi and pathogenic qi in the context of the chronologic tendency, and adjust the dosage of attacking and tonic medicines in different stages of the disease in order to balance and restore the body. The "situation" is in line with the state of consumptive disease in advanced gastric cancer, Professor LIU skillfully uses large doses of Huangqi (Astragalus mongholicus) with flexible combination of medicinals to replenish deficiencies, invigorate qi, and regulate blood vessels.

Objective To investigate the value of unenhanced CT combined with clinical features in predicting adnexal torsion in women with abdominal pain and an adnexal mass. Methods A retrospective selection of patients with abdominal pain and an adnexal mass underwent operation in 2 tertiary hospitals from January 2018 to September 2023. The torsion group (n=53) and non-torsion group (n=53) were matched in a 1∶1 ratio. 15 CT signs of adnexal masses were reviewed independently by two radiologists using a double-blind method. The high-risk factors were screened using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic values of high-risk factors for adnexal torsion were assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results According to the surgical and pathological results, the most common adnexal mass in torsion group was mature cystic teratoma (32.1%), and the most common mass in the non-torsion group was adnexal abscess (20.8%). The age, fever rate, white blood cell count, location of mass, thickened fallopian tube rate, and pelvic effusion rate were not statistically different between the two groups, the nausea and vomiting and remaining CT signs were significant different between the two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that nausea and vomiting (OR=4.886), navel sign (OR=22.733), and whirl sign (OR=43.462) were independently associated with adnexal torsion (P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of nausea and vomiting, navel sign, and whirl sign were 0.717, 0.802, and 0.840, respectively; AUC of the combination of all three was 0.877 with 92.45% of sensitivity, 84.91% of specificity, 85.96% of positive predictive value, 91.84% of negative predictive value, and 88.68% of accuracy. Conclusions For women with abdominal pain and an adnexal mass, nausea and vomiting, navel sign, and whirl sign are help of predicting adnexal torsion, and combination value of all three is best.

We present a case of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus secondary to primary Sj?gren′s syndrome. At onset, the patient exhibited a urine output of up to 10 liter per day. Diagnostic evaluation and clinical features confirmed renal diabetes insipidus due to primary Sj?gren′s syndrome. A review of the literature indicates that primary Sj?gren′s syndrome can involve renal manifestations, including renal tubulointerstitial inflammation and impaired renal concentration ability. However, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus with such high urine output is uncommon. Management of this condition requires proactive control of the underlying disease, potassium supplementation, and urine management.

Objective:To explore the clinical epidemiological characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus in children in Hubei Province from 2020 to 2023.Method:A single-center and cross-sectional study was used to analyze the clinical data of 3 271 children with respiratory syncytial virus infection in Wuhan Children′s Hospital affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023. Nonparametric rank sum test and χ2 test were used for comparative analysis. Results:From July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023, a total of 25 583 children were included in the analysis, of which 3 271(12.8%) children infected RSV. The detection rate was 16.3% in 2020-2021, 14.7% in 2021-2022 and 9.1% in 2022-2023. The detection rate decreased year by year ( χ2=222.054, P<0.05). From 2020 to 2023, there was an anti-seasonal epidemic of RSV in spring and autumn. The detection rate of RSV in infants under 1 year old was the highest, but the median ages of RSV positive children increased ( H=140.575, P<0.05). Pneumonia was the main clinical manifestation of RSV respiratory tract infection. Conclusion:The epidemiological characteristics of RSV in children in Hubei Province were different from those before. From 2020 to 2023, the detection rate of RSV decreased year by year. Besides winter, the prevalence of RSV could also be seen in spring and autumn. The median age of children infected with RSV increased after the epidemic. Pneumonia was the main clinical manifestation after RSV infection.
