结核病与糖尿病共病的治疗管理专家共识

结核病与糖尿病均是临床上的常见病和多发病,两者可合并存在,相互影响。活动性结核病作为感染因素可加重糖尿病病情,而糖尿病患者又是发生结核病的高危人群,结核病与糖尿病双重负担将成为重大的全球公共卫生问题。因此,需重视结核病与糖尿病共病的治疗管理。本共识重点介绍了结核病与糖尿病共病的危害、发病机制、双向筛查、临床特点、诊断、治疗和管理等内容。     

宫颈癌图像引导三维近距离后装治疗中国专家共识

近年来宫颈癌三维近距离治疗(BT)技术在中国得到快速发展。与二维技术相比,宫颈癌图像引导的三维BT技术可以提高局控率、生存率。三维BT要求用体积剂量参数评价治疗靶区及危及器官受量,探索体积剂量参数与局控率、并发症发生率之间关系。BT开始时肿瘤残留体积及形状与局控率有明确相关性,应当结合MRI、超声、妇科检查结果,综合判断残留肿瘤体积。腔内联合组织间插植技术可以改善靶区剂量分布。严格遵守靶区勾画、体积剂量原则以及质控要求。为规范其应用,中华医学会放射治疗学分会近距离治疗学组、中国医师协会放射肿瘤分会妇科肿瘤学组、中国抗癌协会近距离治疗专委会结合中国国情联合制定此专家共识。     

HPTN 068: A Randomized Control Trial of a Conditional Cash Transfer to Reduce HIV Infection in Young Women in South Africa—Study Design and Baseline Results

Young women in South Africa are at high risk for HIV infection. Cash transfers offer promise to reduce HIV risk. We present the design and baseline results from HPTN 068, a phase III, individually randomized trial to assess the effect of a conditional cash transfer on HIV acquisition among South African young women. A total of 2533 young women were randomized to receive a monthly cash transfer conditional on school attendance or to a control group. A number of individual-, partner-, household- and school-level factors were associated with HIV and HSV-2 infection. After adjusting for age, all levels were associated with an increased odds of HIV infection with partner-level factors conveying the strongest association (aOR 3.05 95 % CI 1.84–5.06). Interventions like cash transfers that address structural factors such as schooling and poverty have the potential to reduce HIV risk in young women in South Africa.
