Effects of Hemp Sanitary Pads on the Vaginal Microecology.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of hemp cotton sanitary pads on the vaginal microecology.

Methods: A randomized controlled field trial was used to recruit 1002 community-based women of childbearing age. The women were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.

Evaluation of folate receptor-mediated tumor detection as a triage tool in cervical cancer screening.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of folate receptor-mediated tumor detection (FRD) for identifying high-grade intraepithelial squamous lesions (HSIL) in the triage of women who are positive for human papillomavirus (HPV), and those with cytology findings of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS).

Method: A secondary analysis of prospectively collected data from 1504 women who had abnormal results during primary cervical cancer screening at 13 hospitals in Beijing, China, between November 2014 and August 2015. The detection accuracy of FRD was evaluated among HPV-positive women and women with ASCUS referred for colposcopy examination.

High serum triglyceride levels in the early first trimester of pregnancy are associated with gestational diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study.

Aims/introduction: Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have been reported to have higher serum triglyceride (TG) levels during the entire gestational period. However, whether TGs contribute to the incidence of GDM remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether higher serum TG level during early first trimester is associated with GDM.

Evaluation of Folate Receptor-Mediated Cervical Dyeing as a Method for Detection of Cervical Lesions.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of a folate receptor-mediated tumor detection (FRD) assay for detection of cervical high-grade lesions.

Materials And Method: A total of 1504 patients with abnormal cytology and/or positive human papillomavirus (HPV) testing during primary screening from November 2014 to August 2015 were enrolled. The patients were recruited from the Peking University People's Hospital and 12 other hospitals.

Expression and significance of aquaporin-2 and serum hormones in placenta of patients with preeclampsia.

To evaluate the relationship between serum hormone or aquaporin-2 (AQP-2) and preeclampsia, patients with severe preeclampsia (A group), mild preeclampsia (B group), chronic hypertension (C group) and normal pregnant women (D group) were recruited and analysed. The AQP-2 level in placenta tissues was detected and the correlations of AQP-2 with serum hormone levels were analysed using linear correlation regression analysis. The differences of alpha foetal protein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels during mid-pregnancy, as well as the levels of AFP, HCG, unconjugated oestriol and progesterone during late pregnancy were significant among A, B, C and D groups (p < .

Expression and significance of aquaporin-2 in human ectocervical-vaginal epithelial cells.

Aim: To observe the expression of aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in human ectocervical-vaginal epithelial cells (hECEs).

Methods: The study included 75 females who underwent hysterectomy for benign pelvic lesions. They were divided into three groups according to menstrual states: 28 cases in the normal menstrual group, 24 cases in the perimenopausal group, and 23 cases in the postmenopausal group.

[Comparison of different antidepression therapy in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with depression].

Objective: To study the effects of antidepression drugs and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with depression.

Methods: Eighty six perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with depression were divided into two groups, and treated for 12 weeks, respectively. Forty three received antidepression drugs as control group.
