Human papillomaviruses and papillomatosis lesions of the female lower genital tract

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine whether human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are involved in the development of papillomatosis lesions of the lower female genital tract.Methods: A total of 616 biopsy specimens of genital papillomatous lesions (307 nodular and 309 papular types) from 598 patients were anaylyzed for the presence of HPV DNA sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These specimens were also examined by histopathological assessment for characteristic HPV-associated cytological changes, by immunohistochemical staining for HPV-associated antigen, and by electron microscopy for the presence of virions.Results: HPV DNA sequences were found in 97.9% (140 of 143 cases) and 1.1% (1 of 91 cases) of the nodular and papular papillomatosis cases tested, respectively. In 18 patients who had both types of papillomatosis lesions, HPV DNA was invariably found only in nodular tissues. HPV-associated antigen, koilocytosis, and virions were found in 53.6% (98 of 183 cases), 70.5% (129 of 183 cases), and 5.9% (5 of 85 cases) of nodular papillomatosis lesions tested, respectively.Conclusions: These data suggest that nodular papillomatosis was closely associated with HPV infection, but that papular papillomatosis of the lower female genital tract may have an etiology other than HPV infection.     

我国消除丙型肝炎的普通人群HCV检测策略的成本效果分析

目的 分析我国消除丙型肝炎（丙肝）的普通人群HCV检测策略的成本效果,明确最佳成本效果的HCV检测年龄。方法 运用TreeAge pro 2019软件构建决策树马尔科夫模型,以1年为周期,模拟10万名20~59岁各年龄组人群HCV检测和治疗结果,以全社会角度分析策略间比较的成本效果和效益。效果指标为增量成本效果比（ICER）,效益指标为净货币效益（NMB）,以我国2022年人均国内生产总值（85 698元）为意愿支付阈值。通过单因素敏感性分析和概率敏感性分析评估结果可靠性。结果 在20~59岁人群HCV检测有成本效果,在40~49岁年龄组进行HCV检测成本效果最佳。20~59岁年龄组人群HCV检测策略与未HCV检测策略比较,增量成本为161.24元/人,增量效用为0.003 6质量调整寿命年（QALYs）/人,ICER为45 197.26元/QALY,ICER小于意愿支付阈值,具有成本效果。各年龄组人群HCV检测策略与未HCV检测策略比较,ICER为42 055.06~53 249.43元/QALY,NMB为96.52~169.86元/人,其中40~49岁年龄组的ICER最低,NMB最高。单因素敏感性分析结果显示,贴现率、丙肝抗体（抗-HCV）检测成本、人群抗-HCV阳性率和直接抗病毒药物治疗成本对经济学评价影响较大,但改变参数取值,结论不变。概率敏感性分析结果表明模型分析结果稳定。结论 医疗机构探索动员20~59岁普通人群进行HCV检测具有较好的成本效果,以40~49岁年龄组人群的HCV检测成本效果最佳。在我国普通人群中实施HCV检测的“愿检尽检”策略,能降低人群丙肝疾病负担。     

动态血压正常高限者的左室肥厚

目的：观察动态血压为正常高限者的左室肥厚情况,为该患者群靶器官损害的防治策略提供依据。方法：根据２４小时动态血压监测结果将病人分为３组：Ｎ组（正常血压组）、ＮＨ组（血压正常高限组）和Ｈ组（高血压组）。以超声心动图检测左室舒张末期内径,舒张末期室间隔和左室后壁厚度等,计算左室重量指数（ＬＶＭＩ）。结果：Ｈ组（１２９±４１）和ＮＨ组（１１５±３２）的ＬＶＭＩ明显高于Ｎ组（９７±２３,Ｐ＝０．００００１和０．００５）,Ｈ组和ＮＨ组间无统计学差异。结论：动态血压正常高限者左室肥厚程度明显重于血压完全正常者。对该人群亦应积极采取措施预防和治疗靶器官损害     

深圳市一孩先天性残疾家庭的二孩同类病研究

本文对深圳市1990～1997年因独生子女先天残疾通过病残儿鉴定再生育二孩的家庭进行调查,并以同期通过鉴定的后天性残疾家庭为内对照,以农村地区一孩先天残疾未经病残儿鉴定生育二孩的家庭为外对照,了解其二孩先天残疾再发情况,尤其是同类病的再发情况,拟对独生子女病残儿医学鉴定和二胎生育指标的审批工作效果进行评价,为优生工作提供依据。研究结果表明,鉴定组一孩先天残疾家庭二孩先天残疾的患病率为5.81％,与广州市1986～1991年情况类似(5.9％),高于外省(辽宁1990～1992年为1.35％)。鉴定组二胎同类病发生率为2.8％,非鉴定组为4.55％,两组比较虽无统计学差异,但病种上却有不同,鉴定组为再发风险低的血友病、先天性共转性内斜视、脑萎缩,而非鉴定组为再发风险高的先天聋哑、进行性肌萎缩。提示病残儿鉴定工作颇有成效,避免了相当一部分遗传病家庭再次生育残疾儿,但某些环节有待进一步完善;对农村一胎先天残疾家庭生育二胎也必须纳入管理范围。     

列车乘务员SCL—90评定结果分析

采用ＳＣＬ—９０症状自评量表对某铁路分局４６７名列车乘务员的心理卫生状况进行了分析。结果显示总均分、阳性症状均分、阳性项目数、九组症候群因子分、达到或超过中等严重程度的发生频数均显著高于对照组。经多元逐步回归分析,仅细菌总数和二氧化碳对列车乘务员心理卫生状况有一定影响,其原因多与工作环境的不良因素和工作性质有关。

Increased expression of transferrin receptors and iron in amoeboid microglial cells in postnatal rats following an exposure to hypoxia

This study was aimed to ascertain the effects of hypoxia on regulation of iron in the brain of newborn rats. At 3 h and 1 day after hypoxic exposure transferrin receptor expression as detected immunohistochemically with the antibody OX-26, and the iron content as shown by Perls' staining of amoeboid microglial cells was markedly increased. The induced changes, however, were not evident at 10 min and in longer surviving rats killed at 3 and 7 days. It is suggested that the upregulation of transferrin receptor expression coupled with iron uptake by amoeboid microglial cells in the periventricular regions is a protective mechanism to facilitate the sequestration of excess iron that may have been released either from the iron-rich oligodendrocytes, or accumulated due to a disruption of its normal transportation following the hypoxic insult. This would help protect the brain from harmful effects of iron.     

Progressive amplification and overexpression of the eukaryotic initiation factor 4E gene in different zones of head and neck cancers.

PURPOSE: Eukaryotic initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) binds to mRNA as the initial rate-limiting step in protein synthesis. Amplification and overexpression of the eIF4E gene has been associated with malignant transformation. The objectives of this study were to 1) quantify the eIF4E gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) specimens, 2) quantify eIF4E protein elevation and examine its association with eIF4E gene amplification, and 3) determine whether there is progression in eIF4E gene amplification and protein overexpression in the tumor-free resection margin, the transition zone, and the tumor core of HNSCC specimens. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighteen HNSCC specimens were divided into three zones: 1) tumor core; 2) transition zone; and 3) "tumor-free" margin. Competitive polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine eIF4E gene copy number. eIF4E protein expression was quantified using Western blot analysis. RESULTS: All 18 HNSCC specimens tested had significant eIF4E gene amplification (4.3+/-1.2; P < .05). In contrast, none of the 10 benign specimens from noncancer patients had any eIF4E gene amplification (1.1+/-0.5). In the 12 HNSCC specimens examined for the three zones, the tumor core and transition zone showed eIF4E gene amplification (5.2+/-1.1 and 3.5+/-0.9, respectively) compared with the "tumor-free" margin (2.1+/-1.1; P < .05). The tumor core and transition zone showed significant efF4E protein elevation (15.5+/-9.3, 4.4+/-4.6, respectively) compared with the "tumor-free" margin (0.9+/-0.5, P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: The eIF4E gene is amplified and overexpressed in HNSCC. Amplification and elevation of eIF4E were highest in the tumor core, intermediate in the transition zone, and lowest in the tumor-free margin. There appears to be progression of eIF4E gene amplification and overexpression from the "tumor-free" margin to the tumor core.
