Objective To investigate the relationship between skin/pectoral muscle invasion and the prognosis of male breast cancer. Methods Clinical data and follow-up information of 79 male breast cancer patients who received treatment between September 2008 to April 2020 in West China Hospital were retrospectively reviewed, to analyze the clinicopathological features of male breast cancer and prognostic value of skin/pectoral muscle invasion. Results Among 79 male breast cancer patients, a total of 23 patients (29.1%) were with skin/pectoral muscle invasion at diagnosis. All the patients were followed up, with a median follow-up period of 63.3 months (1.0–204.5 months). Within follow-up period, 8 patients (10.1%) suffered from relapse, 19 patients (24.7%, 19/77) suffered from metastasis, and 4 patients (5.1%) died. Multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model suggested that patients with skin/pectoral muscle invaded had poor disease free survival [RR=4.48, 95%CI (1.08, 18.52), P=0.038]. Conclusions Skinor pectoral muscle invasion might be a valuable prognostic factor for male breast cancer patients. However, limited by sample size, the conclusion should be proved by further high-level studies.
①供體授精:我們發現,在供體授精的效果方面,尚缺乏高質量證據.②胞漿內精子注射+體外授精:1篇系統評價發現,尚無足夠的證據說明胞漿內精子注射+體外授精與單獨使用體外授精何者效果更好.③宮腔內人工授精:兩篇系統評價發現,宮腔內人工授精較宮頸內授精或自然性交,能明顯增加每個周期的妊娠率.④體外授精與配子輸卵管內移植:1個RCT顯示,尚無足夠證據證明體外授精與配子輸卵管內移植何者效果更好.
Objective To investigate effect of optimizing operation procedure (OOP) on surgical outcomes of complete endoscopic subcutaneous mastectomy (CESM) in treatment of gynecomastia. Methods A total of 217 patients with gynecomastia underwent CESM from January 2014 to March 2017 in the Third People’s Hospital of Chengdu were collected according to the criteria for inclusion and exclusion, further, based on a propensity score-matching model, a total of 94 patients were evenly assigned to OOP group (April 2015 later) and non-OOP group (before April 2015). The CESM with or without OOP was performed in the OOP group or the non-OOP group, respectively. The operative time, postoperative length of stay, treatment expenses, and favorable cosmetic effect were compared in these two groups. Results The differences in the general clinical data in both groups were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The operative time (min) was shorter (139.90±37.18versus 175.20±46.99, P=0.002), the postoperative length of stay (d) was shorter too (7.13±1.46 versus 8.47±2.71, P=0.021), and the treatment expenses (yuan) were more less (11 426.80±1 861.19 versus 12 315.75±1 306.64, P=0.036) in the OOP group as compared with the non-OOP group. Meanwhile the favorable cosmetic effect of the self-evaluation score in the OOP group was significantly higher than that in the non-OOP group (7.33±1.16 versus 5.97±1.16, P<0.05). Conclusion This study demonstrates that using optimizing standard CESM could shorten operative time, reduce treatment expenses, and improve satisfaction of patients.
目的:了解成都市住院老年男性尿失禁患者尿失禁處理用物的使用及并發癥發生情況。方法:用自行設計的量表對188位尿失禁老人的一般情況、尿失禁的分級及處理用物等進行調查。結果:隨著尿失禁的嚴重程度的增加,患者或其家人選擇的處理用物增加。男性尿失禁的不同處理用物被選用的多少依次為:尿布(585%)、尿壺(340%)、一次性尿墊(255%)、保鮮袋(186%)、避孕套式尿袋(69%)、留置導尿(37%)及假性尿器(27%),不同尿失禁分級的患者對處理用物的選擇差異有統計學意義(Plt;005);2周患者399%發生漏尿,133%局部皮膚發紅,27%皮膚糜爛及21%尿路感染。結論:臨床工作中應該根據尿失禁的不同分級及患者的綜合情況指導患者及其照顧者選擇合適的處理用物,目前老年男性尿失禁患者仍然欠缺舒適、經濟、實用的接尿設備。
Objective To systematically review the willingness to use pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search on various databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP database, Wanfang data, China Biomedical Literature Service System, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase, covering the period from database inception to September 6th, 2023. We focused on studies that publicly reported data on the willingness to use PrEP and its influencing factors among MSM in China. The quality of included studies was assessed using the quality evaluation criteria recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 13.1 software were used to perform meta-analysis for the willingness to use PrEP and its influencing factors among MSM in China. Results A total of 24 cross-sectional studies with 19 influencing factors and a sample size of 16499 participants were included in the review. The results revealed a PrEP usage intention rate of 60.4% [95% confidence interval (CI) (51.8%, 68.9%)] among the MSM population in China. Factors such as awareness of PrEP [odds ratio (OR)=5.26, 95%CI (1.33, 20.82)], having heard of PrEP [OR=1.84, 95%CI (1.28, 2.64)], age<25 years [OR=1.92, 95%CI (1.34, 2.77)], being a student [OR=1.92, 95%CI (1.17, 3.16)], monthly income of 1000-3000 yuan [OR=1.36, 95%CI (1.12, 1.65)], history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing [OR=2.05, 95%CI (1.53, 2.74)], history of sexually transmitted infections [OR=1.75, 95%CI (1.27, 2.40)], seeking sexual partners online [OR=1.38, 95%CI (1.19, 1.59)], openness about sexual orientation [OR=1.90, 95%CI (1.27, 2.84)], having a non-local household registration [OR=1.66, 95%CI (1.37, 2.02)], and recommending PrEP to friends [OR=20.14, 95%CI (2.59, 156.91)] were identified as promoting factors for the willingness to use PrEP. Conversely, a homosexual orientation [OR=0.67, 95%CI (0.52, 0.85)] was identified as a barrier to the willingness to use PrEP. Conclusions Chinese MSM have a low intention to use PrEP, and there are many factors affecting the intention to use PrEP in MSM. In the future HIV prevention and control work, measures such as strengthening education and publicity of PrEP, providing a certain degree of support for PrEP costs, strengthening health education on campus, strengthening community organizations and support networks should be taken to promote the willingness of MSM to use PrEP.
Objective To study the effectiveness, safety and tolerance of testosterone undecanoate (TU) in improving exhaustion and quality of life (QOL) of the elderly male patients with chronic disease in advanced stage. Methods Using a simple randomized controlled trial design, eighty patients were randomized into two groups. The treatment group took routine therapy and TU and the control group with routine therapy alone. Results 1. Baseline characteristics in both groups were similar. 2. The PADAM grade decreased, and the QOL scale increased in the treatment group (P〈0.05 ). 3. Serum total testosterone in the treatment group rose, upper arm circumference and right hand grip improved (P〈0.05 ). 4. There were no significant differences in adverse effects between both groups. Conclusions TU can improve the clinical health status in the elderly male patients with chronic disease in advanced stage and increase serum testosterone level, there is a satisfactory tolerances and few adverse reactions.
目的 對19例男性乳腺癌的發病情況及診治過程和結果進行回顧性總結。方法 選擇我院1973年至1997年收治的19例男性乳腺癌患者,并對其發病特點及診治情況、預后進行分析。結果 男性乳腺癌發病率低(1.2%),發病年齡高,平均55歲,病程長,平均3.75年,病理類型均為浸潤型。治療均采用手術切除,加術后放、化療及內分泌治療。結論 男性乳腺癌較少見,病程長,惡性程度高,預后差。由于其在臨床表現上無特異性,故極易被忽視或誤診。由于上述特點,要提高男性乳腺癌的存活率,早期診斷及治療就顯得尤為重要。
Objective To explore the correlation between hematocrit and slow coronary flow (SCF) in male patients. Methods We studied 205 patients with angiographically no more than one stenosis lt;40% in each major coronary artery who had admitted to the department of cardiology of the Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from August 2011 to August 2012. According to the level of hematocrit, 101 patients were classified into the trial group whose hematocrit was more 42.9%, while 104 patients into the control group whose hematocrit was no more than 42.9%. Clinical variables were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results The age was younger in the trial group than the control group, whereas the levels of white blood cell count, mean platelet volume, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, left anterior descending artery (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA) TIMI frame count and the proportion of SCF in the LAD were higher in the trial group than in the control group (Plt;0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that, LAD TIMI frame count (r=0.238, P=0.001), proportion of SCF in the LAD (r=0.206, P=0.003) and RCA TIMI frame count (r=0.209, P=0.003) were positively correlated with hematocrit. The results of multivariate analysis (using logistic regression with adjusted confounding factors such as age) showed that, LAD TIMI frame count (OR=1.031, 95%CI 1.006 to 1.056, P=0.014), proportion of SCF in the LAD (OR=1.919, 95%CI 1.038 to 3.547, P=0.038) were independently correlated with hematocrit. Conclusion The proportion of SCF in the LAD is independently correlated to hematocrit, which suggested that increased hematocrit may contribute to the pathophysiological change of SCF in male patients.
