Initially, its use remained limited even among symptomatic women and the move toward postmenopausal hormone use for disease prevention came later. Improved treatment schedules and delivery systems expanded the use of HRT worldwide. However, large trials of postmenopausal hormones with disease outcomes were even later in coming and today HRT has become a specialized, multidisciplinary area of research. As the population continues to grow older, there has been an increased focus on the effects of ageing. HRT may affect length and quality of life through disease prevention. It may have possible beneficial effects on cognition, on the incidence of hip fracture, myocardial infarction and stroke, and adverse effects on the incidence of breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and venous thromboembolism.Today’s attitudes about the hormonal treatments for the menopausal transition have moved from expansive optimism to contracting disappointment amidst safety concerns and equivocal results and faces greater skepticism and scrutiny. The health and well being of large numbers of women are at stake, and researchers, clinicians and the general public are watching and weighing the options.展开更多

This study aimed to establish a discriminative model to predict and classify the menopausalstatus of breast cancer patients with CIA.Methods： This is a single center hospital-based study from 2013 to 2016. The menopausal age distribution andaccumulated incidence rate of CIA are described. Multivariate models were adjusted for established and potentialconfounding factors including age, serum concentration of estradiol （E2） and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）,feeding, pregnancy, parity, abortions, and body mass index （BMI）. The odds ratio （OR） and 95% confidenceinterval （95% CI） of different risk factors were estimated.Results： A total of 1,796 breast cancer patients were included in this study, among whom, 1,175 （65.42%） werepremenopausal patients and 621 （34.58%） were post-menopause patients. Five hundred and fifty patients wereincluded in CIA analysis, and a cumulative CIA rate of 81.64% was found in them. Age （OR： 1.856, 95% CI：1.732-1.990）, serum concentration of E2 （OR： 0.976, 95% CI： 0.972-0.980） and FSH （OR： 1.060, 95% CI：1.053-i.066）, and menarche age （OR： 1.074, 95% CI： 1.009-1.144） were found to be associated with the patients＇menopausal status. According to multivariate analysis, the discriminative model to predict the menopausal status isLogit （P）=-28.396＋0.536Age-0.014E2＋0.031FSH. The sensitivities for this model were higher than 85%, and itsspecificities were higher than 89%.Conclusions： The discriminative model obtained from this study for predicting menstrual state is important forpremenopausal patients with CIA. This model has high specificity and sensitivity and should be prudently used.展开更多

The 3H TdR incorporation decreased by 16.8%～37.4% in H 2S treated VSMCs as compared with the controls ( P <0.01). The inhibitory effect was found to be associated with reduced activity of MAPK. The authors also observed that endogenous H 2S levels markedly increased in vessels of rats with either endotoxic shock or septic shock [H 2S level (pmol·min -1 ·mg -1 ):tail artery (16.18±2.06) vs (8.12±0.55);mesenteric artery (10.17±1.11) vs (6.19 ±0.55);pulmonary artery(11.38±1.24) vs (5.27±0.51); aorta(6.21±0.48) vs (4.10± 0.28), P < 0.01 ]. The above findings suggested that H 2S might play an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular pathophysiologic events.展开更多
