RESUMO
@#Abstract: Objective （ ） To evaluate the internal exposure levels and risk in nuclear medicine workers NMWs engaged in Methods radionuclide therapy in Guangdong Province. A total of 61 NMWs from eight hospitals in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using the convenient sampling method. The 0.364 MeV full energy peak efficiency was detected in （ ） in vitro ， - deltoid muscle of right upper arm as background and thyroid gland by direct measurement method and the iodine 131 （131 ） Results ，131 I activity in thyroid gland was calculated to evaluate the internal irradiation level. Among the 61 NMWs I was ， detected in the thyroid gland of four nuclear medical staffs in three hospitals and the detection rate was 6.6%. The median and - ［M（ P-P ）］ 131 （ - ） 0 100 percentile 0 100 of thyroid I activity were 42.9 35.1 47.1 Bq. When assuming that the monitoring period was ， M（ P-P ） （ - ） ， 30 days the 0 100 of single committed effective dose in thyroid gland was 0.014 0.011 0.015 mSv and the annual dose （ - ） Conclusion of internal irradiation was 0.162 0.132 0.180 mSv/a. The internal exposure of NMWs in the eight hospitals in （ ） ， Guangdong Province meets the annual effective dose limits ≤20.000 mSv/a . However it is necessary to pay attention to the internal radiation protection of NMWs and take reasonable protective measures to reduce the internal exposure risk of NMWs.
RESUMO
We report a case of ovarian function fluctuation during long-term follow-up in a patient with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). The patient finally obtained clinical pregnancy with subsequent uneventful full-term delivery after several intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (ICSI-ET) cycles. This case demonstrates that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and assisted reproductive therapy should be applied as soon as possible to young patients with POI who have a strong desire for pregnancy in the absence of contraindications. This strategy helps such patients obtain pregnancy and delivery before the exhaustion of ovarian function.
RESUMO
We report a case of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF?ET) with oocyte donation in a woman with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) complicated by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during pregnancy. The patient had a diagnosis of POI 4 years earlier and 11 weeks after successful pregnancy by IVF?ET with oocyte donation in 2003, she presented with facial edema, and further examinations confirmed the diagnosis of lupus nephritis. She received treatment with prednisone to control the activity of SLE and aspirin and low?molecular?weight heparin to improve placental blood flow with close monitoring of gravida and fetus throughout pregnancy. The condition of the patient remained unstable during pregnancy, and liver damage and placental circulation disorder occurred in late gestational weeks with suspected intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) of the fetus. For maternal and fetal safety, the patient received elective caesarean section and delivered a premature boy at 31 weeks of gestation. She subsequently received further medications for SLE and showed good recovery of the immunological parameters and absence of SLE symptoms during the follow?up for 14 years, indicating a clinical cure of SLE. Her son shows normal growth and development. Based on the experience with this case and literature review, we believe that immunological factor is an important cause of POI and thus recommend full immunological examinations in cases of idiopathic POI.
