RESUMEN
Objective To collect information from the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)four diagnostic information of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)and to observe the characteristics of their Chinese medicine syndrome factor at different ages,to provide an objective basis for the Chinese medicine treatment of patients with CHD at different ages.Methods The TCM Four Diagnostic Information Collection Scale for CHD developed by the group was used to collect the four diagnostic information of patients with coronary heart disease,and the syndrome elements were extracted according to the syndrome differentiation standard to observe the distribution of syndrome elements at different ages.Results CHD is located in the heart and accompanied by liver,kidney,stomach,lung and other organs.Qi deficiency is the most common syndrome factor,followed by phlegm turbidity,yin deficiency,blood stasis and qi stagnation.Among the syndrome elements of disease location,the heart and liver were the most common in the young group,and the heart and kidney were more common in the middle-aged group and the elderly group.Among the syndrome elements of disease nature,qi deficiency was more common in the young group,phlegm turbidity and qi stagnation were more common in the empirical group,and qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity were the most frequent.In the middle-aged group,qi deficiency was more common in deficiency syndrome,phlegm turbidity and blood stasis were more common in excess syndrome,and the frequency of qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis was the highest.In the elderly group,qi deficiency and yin deficiency were more common in deficiency syndrome,phlegm turbidity and blood stasis were more common in excess syndrome,and qi and yin deficiency combined with phlegm turbidity and blood stasis had the highest frequency.Conclusion The combination of syndrome elements in patients with CHD in different age groups has its own characteristics.The young,middle and elderly groups are all visible in the mixture of deficiency and excess,while the young group is the most common with qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity,the middle-aged group is the most common with qi deficiency and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis,and the elderly group is the most common with qi and yin deficiency and phlegm turbidity and blood stasis.With the increase of age,the complexity of the combination of syndrome elements is higher.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the molecular classification of endometrial carcinoma (EC) and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) treated with fertility-sparing therapy, and to analyze its relationship with clinicopathological factors and treatment efficacy.Methods:A total of 46 EC and AEH patients who received fertility-sparing therapy and molecular classification tested by next generation sequencing in Peking University People's Hospital from June 2020 to December 2021, were retrospectively collected. The relationships between molecular classification and clinicopathological factors and treatment outcomes were analyzed.Results:(1) Of the 46 patients, including 40 EC and 6 AEH patients, 32 cases (71%, 32/45) had complete response (CR) after treatment, with median CR time of 8 months, 6 cases (13%, 6/45) had partial response, and 8 cases (25%, 8/32) had recurrence. (2) The cases were distributed as no specific molecular profile (NSMP) 34 cases (74%, 34/46) subtype mainly, high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) 7 cases (15%, 7/46), POLE ultra-mutated 3 cases (7%, 3/46), and copy number high (CNH) 2 cases (4%, 2/46). Patients with CNH had the hightest serum cancer antigen 125 (CA 125) level [(34.3±35.2) kU/L]. MSI-H subtype had more family history of tumors (6/7), more with loss of mismatch repair (MMR) protein expression by immunohistochemical (7/7), and higher nuclear antigen associated with cell proliferation (Ki-67) expression level (3/3). (3) Patients in MSI-H subgroup had the lowest CR rate at 6 months (0/6; P=0.019), and survival analysis showed that they were less likely to achieve CR than those with NSMP subtype ( P=0.022). Subgroup analysis of patients with NSMP showed that age ≥30 years related with longer treatment time to CR ( P=0.010). In addition, CR was obtained after treatment in 2/3 POLE ultra-mutated cases and 2/2 CNH, respectively. Conclusions:Molecular classification relates with the treatment response in patients with EC and AEH treated with fertility-sparing therapy. Patients with MSI-H subtype have poor treatment efficacy, and patients with NSMP need to be further studied and predict treatment benefit. However, there are few cases in POLE ultra-mutated and CNH subtypes, which need further clinical research.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical features of obesity indicators in patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (EAH) and early endometrial cancer (EC) and analyze the relationship between these indexes and effect of fertility preservation therapy.Methods:The clinical data of patients with EAH, EC and endometrial benign lesions treated in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021 who required fertility-sparing treatment were collected, and obesity indicators were calculated and analyzed retrospectively.Results:(1) Obesity indicators: the obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥28 kg/m 2] rate of patients with fertility preservation treatment was 40% (32/80), and abdominal obesity [waist circumference (WC) ≥80 cm] rate was 79% (63/80), and obesity indicators [BMI, WC, waist-hip ratio (WHR), weight height ratio (WHTR), body roundness index (BRI), lipid accumulation index (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI)] were higher than those with endometrial benign lesions (all P<0.001). (2) Related factors affecting the efficacy of fertility preservation treatment and their predictive value: EC, higher BMI, WC, WHR, WHTR and BRI were risk factors for lower complete remission rate after nine months′ treatment (all P<0.05). The predictive values of BRI and WHTR combined with pathological type were superior to other indicators [area under the curve (AUC)=0.716; AUC=0.714]. (3) Relation of obesity indicators and glucolipid indicators:BMI, WC, WHR, WHTR, BRI, LAP and VAI were positively correlated with homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance index, glycosylated hemoglobin, and triacylglycerol (all P<0.05); while VAI was negatively correlated with high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( P<0.001). Conclusions:For patients with EAH and EC treated with fertility preservation therapy, abnormal obesity indexes affect the treatment effect. BRI and WHTR combined pathology have good predictive value for effect of fertility preservation treatment. In clinical practice, appropriate indicators could be selected to evaluate body shape, glucolipid metabolism and predict efficacy.
RESUMEN
The paper takes the shared terms of tongue manifestations in the book World Health Organization International Standard Terminologies on Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region.2007 and ISO 23961-1:2021 Traditional Chinese medicine-Vocabulary for diagnostics-Part 1:Tongue,as the basic contrastive analysis corpus, and. makes Diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine edited by Zhu Wenfeng and the eighth edition of Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Dictionary as reference books . Based on the translation theory of "Adaptation" and "Selection", the main characteristics of the terminology standards of tongue manifestation in the two versions are analyzed and summarized from the dimension of language, culture and communication. And then, problems such as selection of terms, difference of term property and structure, single choices of term-selection standard for compound tongue manifestations, different contexts for the same term and a lack of certain terminologies are found. Thus, this paper finds that to achieve different communicative effects in the context, the differences of the applicable objects of terms should be considered. These findings suggest that terms of WHO serve as the tool of education and training, targeting practitioner as main user, while terms of ISO serve as information objectivization, aiming to specify data exchange for diagnostic instrument.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and pregnancy outcome of fertility-preserving treatment for patients with stage Ⅰa, grade 2 endometrial cancer (EC).Methods:Clinical data was retrospectively collected for EC or atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) patients treated in Peking University People's Hospital, Foshan First People's Hospital of Guangdong Province and First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from 2010 to 2019. Inclusion criteria for fertility-preserving treatment included: (1) Age ≤45 years. (2) EC with histological differentiation of G 1, G 2 or endometrial AEH. (3) EC disease should be stage Ⅰa, confined to the endometrium without myometrial invasion, lymph node or extrauterine metastasis. Treatment regimen: patients were given oral progestin therapy and endometrial pathology was evaluated every three months. Patients were divided into three groups as G 2 EC group, G 1 EC group and AEH group based on the histological differentiation. Oncological and pregnancy outcomes were compared among them. Results:(1) Totally 57 eligible patients were included in this study, including 11 cases with G 2 EC, 22 cases with G 1 EC, and 24 cases with AEH. (2) Oncological outcome: among the three groups of G 2 EC, G 1 EC and AH, the complete remission rates (9/11, 91% and 96%, respectively) and recurrence rates (3/9, 30% and 22%, respectively) were not significantly different (all P>0.05). Median remission time was significantly longer in the G 2 EC group than those in the other two groups (8, 6 and 4 months; P=0.046). Among 9 G 2 EC patients who recurred after complete remission, three patients relapsed at 7, 18 and 53 months, respectively. All 3 patients chose fertility-sparing treatment again, and all achieved complete remission after retreatment. (3) Pregnancy outcome: among the three groups, the assisted reproduction technology rates (4/8, 5/18 and 36%, respectively) and pregnancy rates (6/8, 5/18 and 36%, respectively) had no significant difference ( P>0.05). However, time interval to pregnancy was shorter in G 2 EC patientsthan the other two groups (4, 9 and 22 months, respectively; P=0.006). Conclusions:Fertility-preserving treatment for patients with stageⅠa, G 2 endometrial cancer, may obtain a relatively high remission rate and an acceptable pregnancy rate. However, further exploration is needed due to the limited number of cases.

RESUMEN
Background and purpose:The ovarian mucinous tumor is one of the major subtypes of the ovari-an epithelial cancer. Ubiquitination is one of the main post-translational modifications, which has proven to be involved in tumorigenicity. Deubiquitinase is the protein enzyme that could reverse the process of ubiquitination to affect the initiation and progression of malignancies. This study aimed to analyze the expression and clinical application of deubiquitinase OTUB1 (OTU deubiquitinase, ubiquitin aldehyde binding 1) in ovarian primary mucinous tumors. Methods:This study collected 90 cases of ovarian primary mucinous tumors during 2010-2015 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, and then collected the clinicopathological information and performed the immunochemistry.Results:Fourteen out of 90 cases were ovarian primary mucinous cystadenoma, 17 were borderline mucinous tumor (intestinal type and intraepithelial carcinoma), and 59 were ovarian primary mucinous carcinoma. The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 were much higher in malignant cases than those in benign ones (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 were much higher in cases with mucinous intraepithelial carcinoma than those in cases with intestinal type borderline mucinous tumor (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 increased with the advance of FIGO staging (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 were much higher in cases with involved fallopian tubes than those in cases without involved fallopian tubes (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1were much higher in cases with involved uterus and omentum than those in cases with-out involvement (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1were much higher in cases with lymph node metastasis than those in cases without involvement (P<0.05).Conclusion:There is significant difference in OTUB1 expression between ovarian primary mucinous carcinoma and benign mucinous cystadenoma. It is highly correlated to FIGO staging and invasion and metastasis of tumor. OTUB1 could be used in differential diagnosis and in monitoring the tumor initiation and progression in ovarian mucinous carcinoma.
RESUMEN
This paper was aimed to investigate the changes of pulses under different emotional states.Based on the emotional pulse theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM),with college students as the research object,through films to stimulate different emotional expressions (i.e.,calm,sad and happy) of college students,the pulse recordings of college students were acquired in this study.The time domain parameters of pulses of college students under three types of emotional states were extracted.The difference among three groups of time-domain parameters was calculated by nonparametric test.Based on the time-domain parameters,the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier was used to classify three types of emotional states.The results showed that there were significant differences in three groups of time domain parameters (h3/h1,t and As/(As+Ad)).And the average recognition rate of three types of emotion states was 74.25％ based on the time-domain parameters of the pulse recordings.It was concluded that the pulse parameters can provide objective reference for emotional changes.It can be used to identify emotional states.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate clinical treatment and outcome of mesh-related pain after pelvic floor reconstruction. Methods Twelve patients were referred to Peking University People′s Hospital for post-operation pain related to polypropylene mesh or tape used in pelvic floor reconstruction and received reoperation from January 2007 to December 2014. The demographic characteristics, clinical manifestation, operation method and follow-up outcome were retrospectively analyzed, and current literature was also reviewed. Results (1)General information:the median age was 54 years old(range 43-74 years old). The median vaginal delivery times was 2 (range 1-5). Initial pelvic floor operation procedures included 4 cases vaginal mesh, 5 cases vaginal mesh plus tension-free vaginal tape (TVT), 1 case rectal surface mesh implantation, and 2 cases sacrocolpopexy. (2) Related complications:all 12 patients had pain-related post-operation symptoms including dyspareunia, perineal pain, urination and defecation difficulty. Seven patients also complicated with other symptoms including discharge and bleeding. Mean time from first operation to medical consultation was 30 months (range 1-72 months). (3) Reoperation results:all 12 patients received reoperation on mesh revision or tape, 10 cases of them reoperated by vaginal approach, while the other 2 cases by laparoscopy. The range of the mesh or tape depended on tender or firm tissue and scar by palpation. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was significantly improved, which was 7.1 ± 2.2 pre-operation, and 0.9 ± 1.9 post-operation (95%CI: 4.48-7.86, P<0.01). Conclusions Pain is one of the reason why patients was removal of the mesh or tape after pelvic floor reconstruction operation. The surgery procedure may be considered as partial or entire mesh or tape excision by vaginal or abdominal way. Mesh or tape removal surgery could relieve related pain and other complications, and the VAS score was significantly improved after surgical management.

AIM:NLRP3 inflammasome was identified as the cellular machinery responsible for activation of inflammatory processes .The present study investigated whether the activation of NLRP 3 inflammasomes contributes to hyperhomocysteinemia ( HHcy)-induced in-flammation and atherosclerosis .METHODS:ApoE-/-mice were fed regular diet , high fat ( HF) diet or HF plus high methionine (HM) diet for 10 weeks.NLRP3 shRNA or scramble shRNA viral suspension was injected twice at the 2nd and the 6th weeks after HFHM treatment.The whole aortas and aortic root sections were stained with Oil Red O for atherosclerotic lesion .Plasma lipids, ho-mocysteine ( Hcy) , IL-1βand IL-18 levels were measured .We also examined the effect of Hcy on NLRP 3 inflammasomes activation in THP-1 differentiated macrophages in the presence or absence of NLRP 3 siRNA, caspase-1 inhibitor Z-WEHD-FMK, or antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine ( NAC) .RESULTS:HFHM treatment induced HHcy in ApoE-/-mice.Increased plasma levels of IL-1βand IL-18, aggravated macrophage infiltration into atherosclerotic lesion , and accelerated development of atherosclerosis were detected in HHcy mice, which were associated with the activation of NLRP 3 inflammasomes.Silencing the NLRP3 gene significantly suppressed NLRP3 inflammasomes activation , reduced plasma levels of proinflammatory cytokines , attenuated macrophage infiltration , and improved HHcy-induced atherosclerosis .Moreover, we found that Hcy activated NLRP3 inflammasomes and promoted subsequent production of IL-1βand IL-18 in macrophages, which were blocked by NLRP3 gene silencing, Z-WEHD-FMK, or NAC.CONCLUSION:These data suggest that the activation of NLRP 3 inflammasomes contributes to HHcy-induced inflammation and atherosclerosis .Hcy activates NLRP3 inflammasomes in reactive oxygen species dependent pathway in macrophages .
