The impact of hormonal therapy for infertility on the age at menopause

Objectives: To look for possible association between past history of ovulation induction and age at menopause. Design: Women attending our postmenopausal outpatient clinic were asked to fill questionnaires with demographic data, obstetrical history (including treatment for infertility), and medical details related to menopause. Patients: The study group (n=31) consisted of women with a history of ovulation induction, and a control group (n=200) included women who did not experience such intervention. Results: The age at the final menstrual bleeding was 46.4±5 in the study group, and 50±4 for the control group (P<0.001). This difference was most prominent for women who had induction of ovulation prior to age 35 years: they entered menopause at age 43.8±5 years. Smoking had a weak effect on the age at menopause (48.5±4 for current, vs. 49.9±4 for non- or past-smokers; P<0.03). Conclusions: This retrospective and preliminary study raises the question whether hormonal manipulations and ovarian over-stimulation during fertility treatments could be a risk factor for premature menopause.

Frequent cellular senescence in small bile ducts in primary biliary cirrhosis: a possible role in bile duct loss

The pathogenesis of progressive bile duct loss in primary biliary cirrhosis remains unclear. In this study, the involvement of cellular senescence of biliary epithelial cells was examined in liver tissue samples from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (n = 33), and compared with control diseased and normal livers (n = 83). In addition, cellular senescence was induced by oxidative stress in cultured mouse biliary epithelial cells. Biliary epithelial cells in small bile ducts in primary biliary cirrhosis, especially those in patients presenting with chronic non-suppurative cholangitis, frequently expressed senescence-associated beta-galactosidase, and senescence-associated p16(INK4) and p21(WAF1/CIP). In contrast, senescence-associated markers were rarely expressed in small bile ducts in control livers. The infiltration of myeloperoxidase-positive inflammatory cells into biliary epithelial cell layers was closely associated with the cellular senescence of biliary epithelial cells in early-stage PBC. Cellular senescence of cultured mouse biliary epithelial cells was induced by treatment with H2O2 via the p38MAPK-dependent pathway and nitric oxide-augmented H2O2-induced cellular senescence. Oxidative stress- and nitric oxide-mediated cellular senescence may be involved in bile duct lesions, which are followed by progressive bile duct loss in primary biliary cirrhosis.

目的 了解整体护理健康教育对早产低体重儿的影响，寻找有效的健康教育方法。方法 对2000年1月至2001年9月在新生儿病区住院早产儿随机分为干预组和对照组；干预组除住院期间给予常规护理外，还在出院后对其家长进行健康指导，方法包括；早产儿出院时的直接指导，派发资料，电话咨询，上门指导等；对照组只在住院期间给予常规护理，出院后不作干预指导，结果 干预组的母乳喂养率较对照组明显高。而患病率则明显低，经统计学分析有显著性差异。结论 通过健康指导，家长获得科学的育儿知识，逐渐掌握早产儿的护理，育儿水平得以提高，利于早产儿健康成长。     

母亲早产对婴儿的影响及预后

目的 分析研究早产有关的危险因素及早产儿发病及死亡的相关因素。方法 选取我院1995年—2000年12月间早产105例，将早产分为病理性早产(76例)，医源性早产(29例)，与同期足月产对照组110例比较。结果 孕期母亲未作产前检查、胎膜早破、妊高征、胎盘因素、多胎、胎位不正、内外科合并症等同早产有关。早产组产前检查明显低于足月妊娠组(P＜0．05)；早产儿发病率及死亡率明显高于足月儿，早产儿死亡的主要原因是呼吸系统疾患(RDS)、颅内出血、感染。结论 孕期多种因素同早产有关，早产是围产儿发病和死亡的主要原因，提高对早产的认识，倡导围生保健新模式，重视早产的临床相关因素，降低围生儿并发症及死亡率。     

Age‐ and site‐specific decline in insulin‐like growth factor‐I receptor expression is correlated with differential growth plate activity in the mouse hindlimb

The proximal and distal growth plates of the principal long bones do not contribute equally to longitudinal growth. Most forelimb elongation occurs at the shoulder and wrist, while most hindlimb growth occurs at the knee. This study examined whether insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I), a potent growth regulator, could underlie this variation via differential receptor expression. The spatiotemporal distribution of the IGF‐I receptor (IGF‐IR) was mapped in hindlimb growth plates (overall and within regional zones) from immature mice using immunohistochemistry. Growth activity was assessed by size/morphology of the growth plate and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression. Both IGF‐IR and PCNA staining declined considerably with age in the proximal femur and distal tibia (hip and ankle), but expression remained high in the more active distal femur and proximal tibia (knee) throughout growth. Growth plate size decreased with age in all sites, but the absolute and relative decline in IGF‐IR in the hips and ankles of older mice indicated a site‐specific loss of IGF‐I sensitivity in these less active regions. These results suggest that regulation of the IGF‐IR may at least partially mediate differential long bone growth, thereby providing a local mechanism for altering skeletal proportions absent modification of systemic hormone levels.

呼吸机持续气道正压通气联合枸橼酸咖啡因治疗早产儿呼吸暂停给药时间与临床疗效的关系

目的:观察呼吸机持续气道正压通气支持下的不同枸橼酸咖啡因给药时间对早产儿呼吸暂停(AOP)疗效的影响。方法:选取91例出生胎龄<32周的原发性呼吸暂停患儿,按照枸橼酸咖啡因给药时间的不同将患儿分为早期组(51例,出生24 h内在呼吸机持续气道正压通气下完成枸橼酸咖啡因给药)和常规组(40例,72 h内在呼吸机持续气道正压通气下给予枸橼酸咖啡因治疗)。比较两组患儿的呼吸机应用时间、给药时间、吸氧天数以及呼吸暂停改善情况,记录呼吸指标变化和不良反应发生情况。结果:早期组呼吸机使用时间、给药时间、吸氧天数、3 d后呼吸暂停次数及住院时间均明显低于常规组,差异有统计学意义(t=5.561,t=2.901,t=2.821,t=3.180,t=2.987;P<0.05)。经枸橼酸咖啡因治疗3 d后,两组患儿β-内啡肽水平及二氧化碳分压较治疗前均有显著降低,且早期组较常规组下降更为明显(t=0.408,t=3.294;P<0.05);氧分压及血氧饱和度均较治疗前有显著回升,早期组较常规组升高更显著(t=6.4758,t=2.121,t=2.409;P<0.05)。早期组的治疗有效率为86.2%(44/51),常规组为72.5%(29/40),两组比较差异具有统计学意义(Z=-2.149,P<0.05)。早期组不良反应事件发生率为13.7%(7/51),常规组为15.0%(6/40),两组比较差异无统计学意义。结论:呼吸机持续气道正压通气可以改善患儿呼吸功能,有助于患儿更好的渡过呼吸暂停危险期,早期给予枸橼酸咖啡因可促进患儿更快的恢复,显著缩短治疗时间,但不会增加不良事件的发生。

妊娠晚期胎膜早破对产妇分娩方式及妊娠结局的影响

目的探讨妊娠晚期胎膜早破对产妇分娩方式及妊娠结局的影响。方法回顾性分析2018年9月至2019年3月医院收治的87例妊娠晚期产妇的临床资料,将体感不适但无胎膜早破的43例产妇设为对照组,将胎膜早破的44例产妇设为试验组,统计并比较两组胎方位、分娩方式和不良妊娠结局。结果试验组枕前位发生率低于对照组,枕横位、枕后位发生率高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);试验组自然顺产率低于对照组,剖宫产率、阴道助产率均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);试验组产妇及胎儿不良妊娠结局发生率均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论胎膜早破与难产密切相关,不仅增加了胎位异常、剖宫产、阴道助产的发生率,还易引起母婴不良妊娠结局,临床应加强对胎膜早破的产妇监护,及时发现异常并采取有效措施,以降低不良妊娠结局的发生率。
