Read More Background and Aims: Endometrial cancer is the most common type of reproductive system cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of abnormal hysteroscopic findings in endometrial lesions. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 669 cases with suspected endometrial lesions detected by B-scan ultrasonography were further examined using hysteroscopy. The biopsy results were considered the gold standard, and the diagnostic value of abnormal hysteroscopic findings and diagnostic efficacy of specific hysteroscopic findings in endometrial lesions were compared and analyzed. Moreover, the clinical features of the participants were evaluated. Results: Among patients, the complete coincidence rate between diagnosis made by hysteroscopy and pathological diagnosis was 91.33% (611/669), and the Kappa value of the consistency test was 0.951 (2). Regarding the major abnormalities detected under hysteroscopy, the most common finding in patients with normal endometrium, validated by biopsy results, was irregular thickening of the endometrium. In patients with endometrial hyperplasia, validated by the biopsy results, abnormality of the blood vessel was the most common finding. However, it should be noted that the sensitivity was low. Abnormality of blood vessels was also the most common finding in patients with endometrial carcinoma. The sensitivity and positive predictive values (<50%) were low. (3) The age difference between patients with normal endometrium and endometrial hyperplasia was statistically significant (P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference between the patients with normal endometrium and In cases with normal endometrium and endometrial lesions, the morbidity difference was statistically significant between the group of patients with either obesity or hyperlipidemia and the group without comorbidities (X2=231.253, P<0.01, X2=106.086, P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference between patients with endometrial hyperplasia and those with endometrial cancer in terms of morbidity of obesity or hyperlipidemia (P=0.042). Conclusion: Hysteroscopy has high accuracy and stable diagnostic efficiency in the diagnosis of endometrial diseases. Nevertheless, the diagnostic value of abnormal blood vessels seen under hysteroscopy is insufficient for the diagnosis of endometrial lesions. Therefore, it cannot be used as the sole criterion for the diagnosis of endometrial lesions. Patients with irregular thickening of the endometrium are more likely to have a normal endometrium, and such patients can avoid unnecessary biopsy if they have no other risk factors. Obesity and hyperlipidemia are significant independent risk factors for endometrial cancer.

Read More Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is widely used in clinical treatment for gallbladder diseases. Rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing can significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative complications and shorten the hospital stay of patients. Moreover, it is supported by evidence-based medicine and has been widely used in clinical nursing. Nonetheless, there are few studies analyzing the influence of rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Objective: This study aimed to assess the clinical use of rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing on laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. Methods: This study was performed on patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Suzhou Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Suzhou, China between June 2021 and July 2022. The participants were divided into a research group (RG) and a control group (CG) based on different nursing plans, with 51 cases in each group. A routine nursing plan was implemented for CG patients while rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing was implemented for RG patients. Results: The bowel sound recovery time, the first time of anal exhaust and getting out of bed, as well as the length of hospital stay in the RG decreased, in contrast to the CG. Prior to nursing, no significance was found in visual analog scale (VAS) scores, interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, as well as World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF) scores of both groups. After nursing, VAS scores decreased in both groups, and the scores of RG were lower, compared to those of CG. The IL-6 and CRP levels increased in both groups, but those in the RG were lower, in comparison with those in the CG. The WHOQOL-BREF scores of all dimensions increased in both groups, compared to the baseline, and those in the RG were higher, relative to the CG. Additionally, the total occurrence of complications in the RG decreased, compared to the CG. Besides, the total nursing satisfaction in the RG was elevated, relative to the CG (P<0.05). Conclusion: Application of rapid rehabilitation surgical nursing can expedite postoperative rehabilitation, reduce pain and stress response, promote quality of life, and lessen complications in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, thereby, increasing nursing satisfaction, which is worthy of promotion.
