Objectives: This research was designed to examine the associations between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and clinicopathological parameters, and to explore the prognostic value of ADC values in predicting the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and outcome of patients suffering from neuroendocrine carcinomas of the uterine cervix (NECCs).
Methods: This retrospective study included 83 patients with NECCs, who had undergone pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between November 2002 and June 2019. The median follow-up period was 50.
[Efficacy and tolerability of dapoxetine in the treatment of premature ejaculation].

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and adverse effects of dapoxetine in the treatment of premature ejaculation.
Methods: We randomly assigned outpatients with premature ejaculation in the proportion of 2:1 to receive 30 mg dapoxetine on demand (n =78) or 50 mg sertraline qd for one month (n = 39). Follow-up was accomplished in 95 cases, 63 in the dapoxetine group and 32 in the sertraline group.
Purpose: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is the preferred treatment for upper urinary tract renal calculi. However, this treatment is associated with a high rate of recurrent renal calculi. Shock wave therapy can result in renal epithelial cell injury, which in turn is a most important factor in calculus formation.

Methods: Sixty patients with diagnosis of renal calculus confirmed by X-ray film or CT combined with abdominal B ultrasonography but showing no obvious symptoms, were randomized into the treated group and the control group. They all were scheduled to receive ESWL treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of Müllerian duct cysts and their potential link to malignancy, illustrated through a case of papillary cystadenocarcinoma in a 44-year-old male.
- The patient experienced symptoms like hemospermia, hematuria, and infertility for 15 years, leading to various imaging and biopsy tests for diagnosis.
- Surgical exploration confirmed the malignancy's origin from the Müllerian duct system, and the findings suggest that lumpectomy is a successful treatment option for these rare cases.
Objective: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is has been shown to reduce renal parenchymal injury subject to application of shock wave lithotripsy in our pervious study. To investigate the protective action of three main components from Astragalus membranaceus, including total saponins of astragalus (TSA), total flavonoids of astragalus (TFA) total polysaccharide of astragalus (TPA) in alleviating shock wave induced kidney damage.
Methods: Sixty four male rabbits were randomly assigned to a control group or to 3 groups that were premedicated with TSA TFA and TPA respectively prior to application of ESWL.
Background: Recent studies have revealed the important role of free radicals in renal damage induced by high-energy shock waves (HESW). This study aimed at investigating the effects of Astragalus membranaceus, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, on free radical-mediated HESW-induced damage to renal tubules in a live rabbit model.
Methods: Forty-five healthy male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n = 15), sham group (n = 15), and herb-treated group (n = 15).
[Age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen in Chinese men].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Za Zhi
October 2003
Objective: To evaluate the age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen in Chinese men.
Methods: Serum tPSA and fPSA were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and fPSA/tPSA ratio was calculated in 1,096 health Chinese men of 23 - 85 years old. The relationship between age and PSA indexes was analyzed with simple linear regression.
