Successful laparoscopic resection of fallopian tube abscess caused by Escherichia coli in a 12-year-old adolescent virgin:a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Upstream infection with vaginal flora can develop into tubal endothelial damage and tubal edema, which can lead to tubal obstruction and fallopian tube abscess if left untreated. Fallopian tube abscess in adolescent virgins is very rare, it may lead to long-term or even lifelong complications once it occurred.

Case Presentation: A 12-year-old adolescent virgin with no history of sexual intercourse and previous physical fitness who presented with lower abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting for 22 h, body temperature up to 39.

Safe abortion: A retrospective study of negative pressure suction in abortion under the monitoring of ultrasound.

Objective: To observe the effectiveness of ultrasound monitoring during negative pressure suction for abortion.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients with abortion who underwent negative pressure suction, excluding 23 cases with incomplete information and missing interviews, leaving a total of 200 patients included in the study. They were divided into an ultrasound group (n = 100) and a non-ultrasound group (n = 100) based on whether ultrasound monitoring was used.

[Fetal malnutrition assessment program].

Objective: To study the application of ponderal index (PI), body mass index (BMI), mid-arm circumference/head circumference (MAC/HC), and Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status (CANS) score in assessing the nutritional status of neonates at birth, and to find a simple and reliable scheme for the assessment of fetal nutritional status.

Methods: PI, BMI, MAC/HC, and CANS were used to assess the nutritional status of full-term infants and preterm infants shortly after birth. The assessment results of these methods were analyzed.

Silent spontaneous posterior uterine rupture of a prior caesarean delivery at 36 weeks of gestation.

Background: In caesarean section patients, the spontaneous rupture of the posterior wall of the uterus is extremely rare, with nonspecific signs and symptoms being present. Perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality are high.

Case Presentation: A 28-year-old woman at 36 + 6 weeks of gestation presented with mild uterine contractions and developed a sudden abdominal distension.

Robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of advanced stage endometriosis: a meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopy (RAL) versus conventional laparoscopy (CL) in the treatment of advanced stage endometriosis.

Materials And Methods: Utilizing electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Elsevier), a systematic literature review was performed between 2008 and 2015 to compare the RAL surgery with CL surgery (CLS) in the treatment of advanced stage endometriosis. According to meta-analysis criteria, two comparative clinical trials were selected.

Menopausal Symptoms and Sleep Quality During Menopausal Transition and Postmenopause.

Background: Menopausal symptoms and sleep difficulty were physiological processes that were affected by genetic and other factors. This study was to investigate the prevalence of menopausal symptoms and sleep quality in menopausal transition (MT) and postmenopause (PM) women in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Methods: A community-based survey of women's menopausal symptoms and sleep quality was conducted between July 2012 and May 2013 at six municipal districts of Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Antiemetic role of thalidomide in a rat model of cisplatin-induced emesis.

The efficacy of thalidomide to attenuate cisplatin-induced emesis was evaluated in a rat model. Four groups were utilized: control group (peritoneal injection and gastric lavage with normal saline), cisplatin group (peritoneal injection of cisplatin at 10 mg/kg and gastric lavage with normal saline), thalidomide group (cisplatin as above and gastric lavage with thalidomide at 10 mg/kg), and granisetron group (positive control for antiemetic effects; cisplatin given as above and gastric lavage done with granisetron at 0.5 mg/kg).

Fasting plasma glucose at 24-28 weeks to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus: new evidence from China.

Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of a fasting plasma glucose (FPG) at 24-28 weeks' gestation to screen for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Research Design And Methods: The medical records and results of a 75-g 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) of 24,854 pregnant women without known pre-GDM attending prenatal clinics in 15 hospitals in China were examined.

Results: FPG cutoff value of 5.

Overcoming paclitaxel resistance in lung cancer cells via dual inhibition of stathmin and Bcl-2.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death from malignancy in people and over 85% of these patients eventually die from disseminated disease. Paclitaxel (TAX) is widely used as an antimicrotubule agent for the treatment of lung cancer. Unfortunately, the resistance to this antimicrotubule agent occurs frequently.

[Pollution assessment in the intertidal zone of Beibu Gulf using multi-biomarker pollution index].

This paper assessed the coastal environmental quality along the Beibu Gulf using a statistical approach, multi-biomarker pollution index (MPI). Samples of clam (Paphia undulata) and sediment were collected at nine sites from the intertidal zone of Beibu Gulf in April 2011. Nine biomarkers of response were measured both in gill and digestive gland in Paphia undulata, and twelve kinds of contaminants were measured in different sediment samples.
