ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the clinical application value of flexible multi-analyte profiling (xMAP) technology in detecting high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 1 061 women, aged 21-65 years, were randomly enrolled into the study. Cervical exfoliated cells were used in xMAP technology and hybrid capture II (hc2). Pathological diagnosis was used as golden standard. Consistency of these two methods was assessed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The sensitivity and specificity of xMAP technology were 80.31% and 85.83%, respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 44.5% and 96.9%, respectively. The Kappa value for consistency between xMAP technology and hc2 was 0.58.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The specificity of xMAP technology is similar to hc2 test, but the sensitivity is inferior to hc2. However, these two methods show good consistency in the detection of HR-HPV.</p>

@#ObjectiveTo investigate the mentation of the female in mammography examination. Methods292 female patients (over 35 years old) from the out-patient department accepted the psychological questionnaire survey.ResultsMost female patients showed some mental problems, include angst, discomposure, tension or funk for examination. They worried about examination result and the damage being exposed to the X-ray irradiation.ConclusionTechnicians should pay attention to the mentation of the female in mammography examination to win their trust and cooperation.
