“…Breast cancer is the most frequent neoplasm in women [24] and endometrial carcinoma is the 4 th most frequent [25,26] and are both supposed to be dependent on the estrogen levels after menopause. Management and therapeutic options for these conditions may employ Aromatase Inhibitors agents that require accurate estrogen levels monitoring.…”

In the present environment of staggering technical innovations and increasing expectations of quality healthcare it is evident that we need to fine tune our diagnostic abilities in order to fulfil patients� demands for more efficient therapies and augmented quality of life. We are looking for current trends in clinical gynecology that make use of Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy, technology not yet employed in Romanian laboratories for the clinical practice but that is rapidly becoming the worldwide method of choice for accurate characterization of the hormonal milieu essential for the requirements of women healthcare.

“…The prevalence of precocious puberty is 1 in 5000 children and girls are 10 times more affected than boys [2]. An earlier onset of menarche has been associated with adverse health and social outcomes, such as shorter adult stature, an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, adult-onset asthma, cardiovascular disease and an increased risk of breast cancer and reproductive tract cancers [7][8][9][10]. Precocious puberty is also associated with many psychosocial disturbances, like an increased incidence of depression, withdrawal and internalizing disorders [2,11].…”

Precocious puberty is defined as the onset of menarche before 9 years of age, or the appearance of secondary sex characteristics before 8 years of age. It is associated with many psychosocial disturbances and adverse health outcomes such as: cardiovascular disease, shorter adult stature, an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and breast cancer. There is a general tendency to a progressive decrease in age of reaching puberty, specifically the onset of thelarche and menarche, girls being 10 times more affected than boys. This actual tendency can be explained by the increasing prevalence of childhood obesity and also by increasing environmental exposure to endocrine disruptor chemicals in household and personal care products.Phenols, phthalates, parabens and other compounds, such as polybrominated biphenyls and diethylstilbestrol are associated with precocious onset of puberty in girls, in case of in-utero or peripubertal exposure. These chemicals are frequently found in toothpaste, cosmetics, soups, shampoos, perfumes and other personal care products, interfering with sex hormones and puberty timing. This is why pregnant women should be more aware and avoid products based on these chemicals.

Acupoint catgut-embedding therapy (ACET) is considered one of the most promising technologies to replace traditional acupuncture therapy in clinical settings. Polyglycolic acid (PGA) monofilament shows great potential for ACET applications due to its advantages of good formability and biodegradability. The ideal embedding materials are required to have excellent swelling, mechanical, and antibacterial properties. For this paper we prepared two types of PGA monofilaments by first using the melt-spinning method and then applying chitosan onto the PGA monofilaments at three different concentrations. The effects of chitosan coating on the characteristics such as surface morphology, swelling, mechanical, FT-IR, antibacterial, and degradable properties of monofilaments were explored. The results show that chitosan layers and fragments were distributed uniformly on the surface of PGA monofilaments. The expansion rate of samples increased with the concentration of the chitosan coat, and samples 1-PGA 3% (98.32 ± 4.24%) and 2-PGA 3% (123.05 ± 2.87%) exhibited the best swelling behavior. Mechanical properties of PGA monofilaments were greatly improved after chitosan coating. There were few interactions between PGA monofilaments and chitosan molecules according to the FT-IR analysis. Antibacterial efficacy and cytocompatibility of PGA monofilaments were greatly enhanced by the chitosan coating treatment. The degradation time was delayed due to the protective function of the chitosan layers, producing a more lasting effect in the treatment process. In conclusion, the novel PGA embedding monofilaments were successfully developed and a chitosan coating concentration of 3% was chosen as the optimum parameter.
