Objective To evaluate the sensitivity， specificity, and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging （MRI） in characterizing adnexal masses. Methods The databases such as the Cochrane Library, PubMed， EMbase， CNKI， and WanFang Data were searched on computer from 1991 to 2011. The reviewers screened the trials according to inclusion and exclusion criteria strictly, extracted the data， and assessed the methodology quality. Meta-analysis were performed using the Metadisc 1.40 software. The acquired pooled sensitivity, specificity， and summary receiver operating characteristic curve （SROC） were used to describe the diagnostic value. The pooled likelihood ratios were calculated based on the pooled sensitivity and specificity. Results Ten case-control studies involving 649 women who were suspected to have pelvic masses were included and 729 masses were confirmed by the postoperative histopathology. The pooled statistical results of meta-analysis showed that：the sensitivity and specificity of MRI were 〔89%（84%-92%）， P=0.046 6〕 and 〔87% （83%-90%）， P=0.000 2〕 respectively, the positive and negative likelihood ratios of MRI were 6.25（P=0.008 5） and 0.14（P=0.029 1） respectively, and the area under the SROC curve （AUC） was 0.941. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound were 〔87%（82%-91%）， P=0.000 0〕 and 〔73%（69%-77%）, P=0.000 0〕 respectively, the positive and negative likelihood ratios of MRI were 3.07（P=0.000 0） and 0.18（P=0.000 1） respectively， and the AUC was 0.897. The speci?city and accuracy of MRI in characterizing female pelvic masses were higher than ultrasound obviously. Conclusion According these evidences， the MRI should be recommended to the women who are suspected to have pelvic masses as a preferred.
ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcome of tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and TVT-obturator (TVT-O) for female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). MethodsSixty-one female SUI patients were included in our study, in which 33 received TVT procedure and 28 received TVT-O procedure. The patients were followed up for 1 to 62 months post-operatively, averaging at 22 months. Cure was defined as no leakage during the stress test and no residual urine showed by B ultrasound, improvement as less leakage during the stress test after operation, and inefficacy as leakage during the stress test and no difference was detected after operation. ResultsAge and disease course were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients underwent TVT or TVT-O procedure successfully. Time of TVT ranged from 26 to 45 min averaging at (35.5±4.3) minutes, and it was significantly different from the time of TVT-O which ranged from 15 to 20 min averaging at (7.2±3.1) minutes (P<0.05). Bleeding during the surgery was not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). The rate of complications occurring during TVT-O procedure was significantly less and milder than that during the TVT procedure (P<0.05). The cure rate and improvement rate indicated no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe evidence available indicates that TVT and TVT-O procedure are both effective and safe for female SUI. Compared with TVT, TVT-O procedure has the advantages of being more convenient, shorter operation time, being less invasive, and fewer complications, and it may be more suitable for female SUI.
Objective To systematically review the clinical presentations and gene types of oculo-facio-cardio-dental (OFCD) syndrome and to provide a theoretical basis for future diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the disease. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data, and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect studies on OFCD syndrome published from inception to March 1st, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. A systematic review was then performed. Results A total of 19 studies involving 83 patients with OFCD syndrome were included. The patients had an average age of 15.95±16.03 years, including 5 males and 78 females. The clinical presentations mainly included ocular disorders, facial abnormalities, cardiac disorders, dental abnormalities, physical anomalies, and dysfunctions of other body systems. BCOR gene mutations were detected in 71 patients with OFCD syndrome (overall detection rate: 86%, 95%CI 78% to 93%), of whom five were males (detection rate: 6%, 95%CI 1% to 11%) and 66 were females (detection rate: 80%, 95%CI 71% to 88%). Patients were mostly treated using multidisciplinary symptomatic treatment approaches based on clinical presentations and imaging findings. Conclusion In addition to the typical clinical presentations, BCOR gene testing results should also be taken into consideration for the differential diagnosis of OFCD syndrome. Although symptomatic therapies in clinical practice are relatively mature, they do not address the underlying cause of the disease, i.e., BCOR gene mutations. In future research, greater attention should be diverted to gene therapy.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the epidemiology of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infections in western Chinese females.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect epidemiological studies on female genital high-risk HPV infection in western China from January 2000 to July 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies, and then, meta-analysis was performed by using R software.ResultsA total of 35 studies involving 149 037 objects were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the total infection rate of high-risk HPV in the northwest was 12.21% (95%CI 10.0% to 16.72%), and that in the southwest was 17.48% (95%CI 13.55% to 21.4%). The infection rate of high-risk HPV among healthy females in the northwest was 10.03% (95%CI 10.0% to 11.67%), while that in the southwest was 14.94% (95%CI 11.51% to 18.38%). CINⅠ, CINⅡ-Ⅲ and cervical cancer patients in the northwest with high-risk HPV infection rate were 70.31% (95%CI 49.0% to 91.61%), 84.29% (95%CI 68.36% to 100.22%) and 89.35% (95%CI 74.15% to 104.55%), respectively. The infection rates of patients with corresponding lesions in the southwest were 59.06% (95%CI 45.87% to 72.25%), 83.79% (95%CI 76.62% to 90.96%), and 81.07% (95%CI 67.77% to 94.37%), respectively.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the epidemiological pattern of female genital high-risk HPV infection in western China is basically consistent with overseas. The high-risk HPV subtypes are subtype 16, 18, 31, 52, 53 and 58. The HPV vaccine used in China has basically covered the prevalent high-risk HPV subtypes in Western China. The wide application of vaccine may reduce the incidence and mortality of cervical precancerous lesions and cervical cancer, which will ensure reproductive health females in Western China. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.

Female pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) is a common disease affecting women's quality of life, especially in older women. The establishment and application of multimodal evaluation system is the key to the accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of PFD. The purpose of this expert consensus is to provide a comprehensive, multi-layered assessment framework that includes clinical examinations, imaging examinations, biomechanical tests, and questionnaires to comprehensively assess pelvic floor function in women. By integrating different assessment methods, we aim to improve the early identification and diagnostic accuracy of PFD, so that personalized treatment can be developed to improve patient outcomes. The consensus also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various assessment techniques and suggests directions for future research and clinical applications.
Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of tension-free vaginal tape-obturator for female stress urinary incontinence under the daytime surgical mode based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery. Methods The clinical data of female patients with stress urinary incontinence at the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University between June 2019 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the perioperative management mode of patients, they were divided into daytime surgery group and routine surgery group. The basic, intraoperative, and postoperative conditions of two groups of patients were compared. Results Finally, 183 patients were included, including 91 in the routine surgery group and 92 in the daytime surgery group. All patients successfully completed the surgery. There was no statistically significant difference in age, preoperative comorbidities, surgeon in chief, or operation duration between the two groups of patients (P>0.05). The preoperative waiting time after hospitalization [(0.00±0.00) vs. (2.42±0.58) d], hospitalization expenses [(13815.10±2906.01) vs. (18095.21±3586.67) yuan], total surgical expenses [(3961.36±707.35) vs. (4440.19±1016.31) yuan], anesthesia expenses [(718.53±61.06) vs. (755.30±74.65) yuan], western medicine expenses [(818.07±259.30) vs. (1282.14±460.75) yuan], total hospitalization duration [(1.11±0.31) vs. (5.77±1.30) d], and postoperative hospitalization duration [(1.11±0.31) vs. (3.35±1.42) d] in the daytime surgery group were lower than those in the routine surgery group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in postoperative complications (respiratory complications, fever, nausea and vomiting, vaginal bleeding, urinary retention, peritonitis), satisfaction, postoperative pain or self perception of symptom improvement (P>0.05). Conclusion The daytime surgery for female stress urinary incontinence based on the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery is safe and feasible, which can shorten hospitalization duration and reduce hospitalization costs.
ObjectiveTo find out the most appropriate way to fix scalp electrodes for long-range video electroencephalogram on female patients. MethodsA total of 50 female patients with epilepsy who underment video electroencephalogram between May 2011 and May 2013 were divided into tonsure group, collodion group, and improvement group, with 40 patients in each group. Differences among three methods of fixation were observed and a questionnaire survey on satisfaction of patients and medical staff was conducted. ResultsWe found that the modified-method cost less time, caused less pain during electrode removal, required fewer procedures for nurses and was more acceptable by patients. ConclusionWe recommend the modified-method for female patients unless they are limited by some special conditions.
Objective To systematically review the association between menstrual condition and the risk of breast cancer. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2016), PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP and ScienceDirect databases from inception to June 1st 2016 to collect case-control studies about the association between menstrual condition and breast cancer. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using Stata12.0 software. Results Eighty-three studies involving 48 811 breast cancer patients and 57 268 controls were finally included. The results of meta-analysis showed that breast cancer was associated with age at menarche≤13 years old (OR=1.17, 95%CI 1.12 to 1.24) and irregular menstruation (OR=1.98, 95%CI 1.62 to 2.41), but was not associated with history of dysmenorrhea, cycle time≥30 days and period of time>7 days. Further subgroup analysis showed that the sample size was one of the main source of heterogeneity for history of dysmenorrheal analysis, and breast cancer was associated with the history of dysmenorrhea after removing small-sampled studies (OR=1.47, 95%CI 1.36 to 1.59). The association between breast cancer and age at menarche≤13 years old, irregular menstruation was statistically significant in community control, but not in hospital control. The association between breast cancer and age at menarche≤13 years old, irregular menstruation were statistically significant both in Chinese and foreign population. Conclusion Early age at menarche, irregular menstruation and history of dysmenorrhea may be risk factors of breast cancer. Due to the limitation of quality and quanity of included studies, the above conclusions need more researches to verify.
