ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the cognition and acceptability of females on cervical cancer screening and preventive human papilloma virus(HPV) vaccine and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods A total of 695 female outpatients were selected and conducted the investigation.Then the investigation data were statistically analyzed.Results The females knowing the cervical cancer screening accounted for 44.32％ (308/695),the females receiving cervical cancer screening before accounted for 43.73％ (297/695),the females knowing the HPV vaccine accounted for 17.70％ (123/695) and the females willing to inoculating HPV vaccine accounted for 48.00％(59/123).TV and network were the main pathways for obtaining the information.The age,educational degree,and cognition on cervical cancer screening were the important factors affecting HPV vaccine cognition.Conclusion The females have high cognition and acceptability on cervical cancer screening,while have low cognition rate on HPV vaccine,but its acceptability is high.It is necessary to strengthen the health education and propaganda of preventing cervical cancer knowledge to boost the implementation of cervical cancer prevention and control work.
ABSTRACT
Objective To present the authors' initial experience of treating auricular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) with ethanol embolization and to assess the clinical effectiveness of this therapeutic method. Methods Twenty-two patients with AVMs were enrolled in this study. Through local puncturing or super-selective catheterization the absolute ethanol, or diluted alcohol (based on the pattern of the AVMs), was manually injected into the abnormal vascular plexus of the auricular lesion. The clinical results were estimated with physical examination or angiography at intervals of 3 ～ 4 month, and telephone questionnaire was made at monthly intervals for all patients. Results Thirty-eight ethanol embolization procedures were performed, the amount of ethanol used during the procedure ranged from 4 ml to 65 ml. After the treatment the clinical symptoms were improved, which were manifested as healing of the ulceration, stop of bleeding, disappearing or alleviation of tinnitus. Angiographic examination showed that the abnormal vascular lesion was completely vanished in 9 cases, decreased by 50% -75% in 8 cases and decreased less than 50% in remaining 5 cases. The common complications included irreversible local necrosis and vesiculation. Conclusion For the treatment of auricular AVMs ethanol embolization is an effective and safe method, which might become the therapy of first choice.
