ABSTRACT
Objective@#To analyze the status of follow-up cell testing of HIV/AIDS cases among young students aged 15-24 in Guangdong Province from 2008 to 2019.@*Methods@#Using the historical database downloaded from the AIDS Comprehensive Prevention and Control Information System from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019, eligible newly discovered cases were screened by year and were linked with follow-up database. Joinpoint regression model and trend test were used to explore the annual changes in the follow-up and CD4 testing status, and Logistic regression was used to analyze relevant influencing factors.@*Results@#The number of infected students showed a rapid upward trend before 2015(APC=41.7，β=0.3，P<0.01), and the growth rate slowed down(APC=3.6，β=-0.3，P<0.01). The proportion of follow-up and CD4 testing completed within one year increased from 58.3% in 2008 to 93.6% in 2019, and the timely detection rate increased from 33.3% in 2008 to 86.2% in 2019. The Cochran Armitage trend test was statistically significant. Pairwise comparison test showed time trends of the idnex differed in regions and education groups (Z=4.7，8.7，9.8，P<0.01). The Pearl River Delta region, cases from other cities in the province, with precise transmission routes, from voluntary counseling and testing, and cases flowing within the province, the proportion of follow up and testing completed within one year is relatively high (P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The growth rate of HIV/AIDS cases among young students aged 15-24 in Guangdong Province has slowed down in recent years. The route of infection, source and flow of cases affect follow-up and testing compliance. And to do a good job of referrals for off-site mobility, and explore and promote student-friendly VCT service models.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical value of p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry in patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance(ASC-US).@*Methods@#One hundred and seventy-one cases of thin-prep cytology test (TCT) diagnosed as ASC-US underwent p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry. All patients had colposcopy and biopsy from March 2015 to January 2016. Ninety of the 171 cases underwent high-risk HPV test at the same time.@*Results@#p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry was positive in 43.9% (75/171) of the 171 cytology samples; the sensitivity and specificity of p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry were 77.6%(52/67) and 77.9%(81/104) in detecting CIN2+ , and the positive and negative predictive value were 69.3%(52/75) and 84.4%(81/96), respectively. The sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing CIN2+ were 100.0%(34/34) and 10.7%(6/56) for HPV test, and the positive and negative predictive value were 40.5%(34/84) and 6/6. p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry showed lower sensitivity but obviously higher specificity than high-risk HPV detection.@*Conclusion@#p16/Ki-67 immunocytochemistry is a good triage test for identifying CIN2+ in ASC-US specimens.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the radiological,clinicopathological features and prognosis of metanephric adenoma.Methods Two cases were selected,which underwent partial and radical renal resection.Examined the microscopic,immunohistochemical and radiological features of 2 metanephric adenoma cases.All patients were examined by ultrasound,CT and magnetic resonance imaging.Results They were lack of blood supply in imaging examination.The tumor cells were uniform with few eosinophilic cytoplasm.The chromatin is exquisite and lack pathological mitotic figure.The tumor cells were arranged in small tube or alveolar and locally showed papillary hyperplasia.Sometimes psammoma bodies were shown..Metanephric adenoma showed positive to Vimentin and CK.Conclusions Metanephric adenoma is a rare renal tumor mostly occur in single renal.And its morphological characteristic is diversity,so it's easy being misdiagnosed as malignant tumor.The pathologists should be careful and have the concept of metanephric adenoma when diagnosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay in the detection of group B Streptococcus (GBS) in pregnant women. Methods Samples were collected from 1 395 women at 35-37 weeks of gestation from March 1 to December 31, 2009 at three hospitals in Beijing. Samples were obtained from the lower one third vaginal wall and perianal area and tested for GBS using standard culture and PCR. Standard culture and gene analysis for GBS were applied as the gold standard, and the sensitivity and specificity of the rapid assay were determined. Results Of the 1 395 women qualified for PCR testing, 40(2.9%) were identified as GBS positive on the basis of the results of specimen culture, compared to 114 (8.2%) on the basis of PCR assay. The culture was negative and the PCR positive in 77 patients. The results which were not in agreement using the two tests were evaluated by the gene analysis for GBS. Among the 77 samples which were GBS positive by PCR, 66 samples were determined as GBS positive by gene analysis. The sensitivity of the PCR assay was 97.2%(103/106) and specificity was 99.1%(1 278/1 289), the maternal GBS colonization was 7.6%(106/1 395). Conclusions Realtime PCR assay allows rapid and reliable detection of GBS in last trimester with high sensitivity and specificity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the relationship of different histological types and degrees of infiltration of gastric adenocarcinoma on lymph node metastasis.Methods The clinical data of 1 615 cases of gastric adenocarcinoma were analyzed retrospectively,and the rate and number of lymph node metastasis in different histological types and with different depths of invasion were statistically analyzed.Results There were 46 227 lymph nodes collected from 1615 cases,with an average of 28.62 per case. Lymph node metastasis was found in 1046(64.77%) cases of gastric cancer and 10 173(22.01%) lymph nodes. Different TNM stages showed different rates of metastasis: T1(M)2.78%,T1(SM)13.61%,T2 55.59%,and T3 84.84% respectively,while the metastatic rate for histolgically well-differentiated carcinoma was 50.25%,and for low-differentiated earcinoma was 78.95%,and both had statistically significant difference(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the level of umbilical plasma erythropoietin (EPO) in normal and abnormal pregnancy and analyze the influence factors of EPO. Methods EPO concentration in 106 umbilical plasma were measured by enzyme immonoassay. Samples were divided into four groups: control group with healthy full term newborns; hypertension group with neonates born to mothers with hypertension; diabetiec group with neonates born to mothers with diabetes; asphyxia group with neonates with fetal distress or asphyxia. The relationship between the concentration of EPO and gestational age, mode of delivery and pregnant complications were analysed. Results Mothers with hypertension, diabetes, fetal distress or neonatal asphyxia were important factors influencing umbilical blood EPO production ( P
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the expression of endothelin-1(ET-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) mRNA in the villus of pre-eclampsia and the effect of the ET-1 and eNOS on umbilical artery flow velocity wareforms. Methods Dot blotting, DIG-labeled human ET-1 and eNOS cDNA probes were used to examine the expression of the ET-1 and eNOS gene in the placental villus tissues of women with normal gestation and pre-eclampsia. Leica QWIN image disposal and analysis system were used to assess the mean OD of every dot. Colour doppler was used to examine the umbilical artery flow the day before childbirth. Results The level of ET-1 mRNA in placental villus was significantly higher in pre-eclampsia group than the normal group(0.43?0.03 versus 0.23?0.44,P
