Objectives: The study is investigating the relation of the ploidy pattern and cell cycle kinetics to different types of endometrial hyperplasia to select the high-risk women who will need strict follow up surveillance. study design: An observational study of 152 patients with endometrial hyperplasia. Endometrial samples were subjected to flowcytometric study of the nuclear DNA content to determine the ploidy pattern and cell cycle kinetics. Results: The mean age of women was 46.3 ±3.6 years. 15.8%of women were nulliparae, 36.8%were diabetic and 43.6%were hypertensive. 48.7%of women were obese (BMI >30). Most of endometrial samples (88.2%) were simple endometrial hyperplasia without atypia. The cell cycle kinetics in different types of endometrial hyperplasia shows that there were significant statistical differences as regards the s-phase fraction and proliferative index (PI) between typical and atypical hyperplasia. Conclusion: The study of cell cycle kinetics by flowcytometry might help in picking up, among all women with endometrial hyperplasia, the group of patients who need further close and strict follow up by endometrial pathologic study. This is going to minimize the cost and invasiveness of surveillance of patients with various grades of endometrial hyperplasia.

AIM:To investigate whether or not bariatric surgeryweight outcomes vary by ethnicity in a large,nationally representative sample of ***:The Bariatric Outcomes Longitudinal Database was used for analysis and contains data on surgeries performed on adolescents from 2004 to 2010from 423 surgeons at 360 facilities across the United states Adolescents(n=827)between 11 and 19 years old who underwent either gastric bypass or adjustable gastric banding surgery were included in the *** measures included changes in anthropometric measurements[weight(kg)and body mass index]from baseline to 3(n=739),6(n=512),and 12(n=247)mo after ***:A year after patients underwent either gastric bypass(51%)or adjustable gastric banding(49%)surgery,mean estimated weight loss for all ethnic groups differed by a maximum of only 1.5 kg,being34.3 kg(95%CI:30.0-38.5 kg)for Hispanics,33.8 kg(95%CI:27.3-40.3 kg)for non-Hispanic blacks,and32.8 kg(95%CI:30.9-34.7 kg)for non-Hispanic *** overall pairwise group comparisons were significant,indicating that no ethnic group had better weight loss outcomes than did ***:Bariatric surgery substantially reduces the weight of severely obese adolescents at 1 year post-procedure with little variation by ethnicity and/or *** results suggest that bariatric surgery is a safe and reasonable treatment for all severely obese adolescents with the appropriate indications.
