GSK announces Cervarix™ approved in China - Guangzhou Elizabeth Women's Hospital

GSK announces Cervarix™ approved in China to help protect women from cervical cancer.

GSK China today announced that Cervarix™ (Human Papillomavirus (Types 16, 18) Vaccine, Adsorbed) ) has been approved by the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) as the first human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine licensed for use in China, helping to prevent cervical cancer. Together with the cervical cancer screening programme, HPV vaccination will provide a better solution for Chinese women to fight against cervical cancer. Cervarix is registered in China for use in girls and women aged 9-25 years with a 3 dose schedule. The commercial launch of Cervarix is expected in early 2017.

A clinical trial conducted in China, involving more than 6000 subjects who received Cervarix or (Al (OH)3 control and were followed for up to 6 years, demonstrated a high efficacy and favourable benefit risk ratio in preventing certain oncogenic HPV-related cervical diseases, which is consistent with global data.1 The approval of Cervarix means that girls and young women in China will now have the chance to have access to a preventive vaccine against this deadly disease.

Hervé Gisserot, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Pharmaceuticals and Vaccines, GSK China/HongKong, said, “Increasing access to our innovative medicines and vaccines is a clear strategy for GSK China. We believe that we can work with the relevant authorities to ensure that people in China have increased access to innovative vaccines, such as Cervarix. To achieve this we are ready to explore an innovative pricing approach to support the inclusion of Cervarix into public cervical cancer immunisation programmes”.

In addition to improving access, the quality of our vaccines has always been of utmost importance. GSK China fully supports the new regulations on the administration of vaccines distribution recently issued by the Chinese government. This not only benefits the people of China, it also fulfils our commitment to be “in China, with China, for China”.

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women aged between 15 to 44 years in China, with an estimated 130,000 new cases each year. Every year, China accounts for more than 28% of the world’s cervical cancer cases. Worldwide, a new case of cervical cancer is detected every minute on average, and a woman dies of cervical cancer every 2 minutes. The introduction of HPV vaccination alongside China’s cervical cancer screening programme has the potential to substantially reduce the incidence of cervical cancer and pre-cancer, and the burden of disease in China.

GSK commitment to China:

We are a science-led global healthcare company. We research, develop and manufacture a wide range of medicines, vaccines and consumer healthcare products. People are at the heart of what we do. We strive to bring high quality, high performing products to everyone who needs them.

In China, and around the world, we are on a mission to help people do more, feel better, live longer. We are in China, with China, for China, and our commitment remains unwavering.

Practical Tips for Parents-To-Be - Guangzhou Elizabeth Women's Hospital

Expectant parents often spend months preparing for the arrival of their baby. There are parenting classes to attend, parenting books to read and plenty of steps to baby-proof the house. Then, as soon as the baby is born, there’s a whirlwind of activity and unexpected change.

Many new parents underestimate the intense helplessness and stress that accompany this life stage. What’s more, according to the American Psychiatric Association, some 85 percent of new mothers display symptoms of mood disturbance, ranging from the blues to postpartum depression. The good news is, most new moms and dads receive support from family and friends that’s sure to help ease the transition. With that assistance often comes a deluge of parenting advice. Take a look at these suggestions designed to help your household run more smoothly during those irreplaceable days, months and years.

“Looking back, I wish I would have known how to just enjoy holding my son, rather than being so nervous and neurotic about everything! I would’ve been much more at ease if I had simply enjoyed the discovery of raising him. I remember my older son’s first bath in the sink. My wife and I were nervous wrecks. We were self-absorbed, concentrating more on how we would look as parents instead of just loving our child. I see now that parenting is not about the perfect way to care for kids–or even the best way to care for them. It’s about loving the children God gave you as deeply as possible without all the fear and second-guessing that can cloud the situation.”
— Taj Hussain, father to Alex, 13, and Austin, 10

“It’s so important to choose your battles. I discovered that I didn’t have to push back on everything my child did that I didn’t want him to do. (Of course, always be conscious when it comes to safety.) Let the kids have some independence and know that it’s okay to ‘give in’ sometimes.”
— Missy Perkins, mother to Katie, 16, Matthew, 15, and Jack, 2

“One thing my wife and I never heard before we had our baby was that breastfeeding isn’t easy. I didn’t realize how physically difficult (and painful) it can be for new mothers, and was completely caught off guard by the emotional importance that my wife placed on that first feeding. Our son had trouble breastfeeding at first, and in a panic, I pushed for us to try formula. I’ll never forget the tears in my wife’s eyes–like I had given up on her and the important bond she desperately wanted with our baby. With a little patience and instruction from a heaven-sent nurse, our boy became a champion breast feeder. Looking back, I wish I would’ve been more sensitive, and helped my wife work through those early obstacles with confidence.”
— Alex Runner, father to Ben, 13 months

“I wish I would’ve known to start having family devotional times on a regular basis–even when the kids were very young. When a baby is big enough to be part of the dinner table, hold hands with him to pray. Read a children’s Bible together, and then grow that into a weekly devotional time. There are daily things families can do, like praying at bedtime and talking about Jesus and Bible stories at mealtimes. Then, as the kids get older, there are more formal things like object lessons and Bible teachings.”— Linda Seldomridge, mother to Katie, 21, and Robbie, 17

“I realized early on that my son valued the time I spent with him much more than anything I bought for him. At one point, I was offered a job that had a higher salary. On the flip side, though, I would have to put in many more hours and be away from home more. I talked to my son who was 7 at the time about this, telling him that if I took the job we could take better vacations and buy more stuff. But if I didn’t take the job, I could continue being his soccer coach and helping out in his classroom. He didn’t even pause before saying he didn’t want me to take the job. I don’t want any other adult to replace my role in my son’s life. Spending time with him has always been most important to me as his dad.”
— Jay Fukushima, father to Jason, 17

Pearl River Night Cruise - Guangzhou Elizabeth Women's Hospital

Hello~ I'm Peris from Guangzhou Elizabeth Hospital.
When we accepted the gracious invitation of Pearl River Cruise by JWAG (Janpan Women Association of Guangzhou), my workmates and me were exicited about the prospect of enjoying the wonderful scenery.
Pearl River is an extensive river in south China, and Pearl River Night Cruise is a famous and popular activity in Guangzhou. 

We went there at 6:30PM, it was still broad daylight.

The ship we were going to take has three floors,but we went straight to 3rd floor where is open-air and has a good view at night. 

We could see the Pearl River Bridge from here at 3rd floor.

It was getting dark.

Canton Tower is the China first television tower, usually called "small pretty waist ". It is really amazing at night, especailly when it changes its color.

Infertility: Causes, Diagnosis, Treatments - Guangzhou Elizabeth Women's Hospital

What is infertility? 

In general, infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant (conceive) after one year of unprotected sex. Women who do not have regular menstrual cycles, or are older than 35 years and have not conceived during a 6-month period of trying, should consider making an appointment with a reproductive endocrinologist—an infertility specialist. These doctors may also be able to help women with recurrent pregnancy loss—2 or more spontaneous miscarriages.

How is infertility diagnosed?

Health care providers evaluate men and women differently to diagnose infertility.

Evaluating Female Fertility

In evaluating a woman’s fertility, a health care provider will ask specific questions about her health history. These include: Prior pregnancies, prior miscarriages, the regularity of her menstrual period, the presence of pelvic pain, whether she has abnormal vaginal bleeding or discharge, whether she has a history of pelvic infection or previous pelvic surgery.

A health care provider may also carry out the following laboratory tests and evaluations: A blood test around day 23 of the woman’s menstrual cycle can measure the amount of a hormone called progesterone. This test can tell if ovulation has occurred and if the ovaries are producing a normal amount of this hormone.

Evaluating Male Fertility

The evaluation of a man’s fertility includes looking for signs of hormone deficiency, such as increased body fat, decreased muscle mass, and decreased facial and body hair. The evaluation also includes questions about the man’s health history, including: Past injury to the testicles or penis, recent high fevers, childhood diseases,such as mumps, a physical examination of the testes and penis allows for identification of problems, such as: Infection, signaled by discharge or prostate swelling, hernia, malformed tubes that transport sperm, hormone deficiency as indicated by small testes, presence of a mass in the testicles, varicocele.

A health care provider may also ask a man to provide a sample of semen to assess the health and quality of his sperm. To give a semen sample, the man is requested to refrain from ejaculation for around 48 hours before the test. He then provides a sample by masturbating into a cup or by having intercourse using a special condom (without contraceptive) that collects semen without affecting the sperm. A man may need to provide a semen sample on more than one occasion because sperm production can vary over time depending on the man’s activities and stress level.

Other tests may include:

Measurement of hormones in the blood, including testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone, Biopsy of the testicle. A health care provider uses a needle to extract sperm from the testicle, Genetic testing. In cases where no or very few sperm are found in the semen a health care provider may do genetic testing before starting fertility treatments.

Treatment for women

Although a woman may need just one or two therapies to restore fertility, it’s possible that several different types of treatment may be needed before she’s able to conceive.

Stimulating ovulation with fertility drugs. Fertility drugs are the main treatment for women who are infertile due to ovulation disorders. These medications regulate or induce ovulation. 

Intrauterine insemination (IUI). During IUI, healthy sperm that have been collected and concentrated are placed directly in the uterus around the time the woman’s ovary releases one or more eggs to be fertilized. 

Surgery to restore fertility. Uterine problems such as endometrial polyps, a uterine septum or intrauterine scar tissue can be treated with hysteroscopic surgery.

Treatment for men

Approaches that involve the male include treatment for general sexual problems or lack of healthy sperm. Treatment may include:

Treating infections. Antibiotic treatment may cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but doesn’t always restore fertility.

Treatments for sexual intercourse problems. Medication or counseling can help improve fertility in conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

Hormone treatments and medications. Your doctor may recommend hormone replacement or medication in cases where infertility is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones or problems with the way the body uses hormones.

Surgery. For example, a varicocele can often be surgically corrected or an obstructed vas deferens repaired. In cases where no sperm are present in the ejaculate, sperm may often be retrieved directly from the testicles.

Assisted reproductive technology (ART). ART treatments involve obtaining sperm through normal ejaculation, surgical extraction or from donor individuals, depending on your specific case and wishes. The sperm is then inserted into the female genital tract, or used to perform in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
