Résumé

Elevated heart rate has been proposed as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but their interrelationships are not well understood. In this study, we performed a genome-wide linkage scan in 1,026 individuals (mean age 30.6 years, 54.5% women) from 73 extended families of Mongolia and determined quantitative trait loci that influence heart rate. The DNA samples were genotyped using deCODE 1,039 microsatellite markers for 3 cM density genome-wide linkage scan. Correlation analysis was carried out to evaluate the correlation of the covariates and the heart rate. T-tests of the heart rate were also performed on sex, smoking and alcohol intake. Consequently, this model was used in a nonparametric genome-wide linkage analysis using variance component model to create a multipoint logarithm of odds (LOD) score and a corresponding P value. In the adjusted model, the heritability of heart rate was estimated as 0.32 (P<.0001) and a maximum multipoint LOD score of 2.03 was observed in 77 cM region at chromosome 18. The second largest LOD score of 1.52 was seen on chromosome 5 at 216 cM. Genes located on the specified locations in chromosomes 5 and 18 may be involved in the regulation of heart rate.

Résumé

The objectives of this study were to review antenatal syphilis screening and to assess antenatal care providers' practices and opinions in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. A cross-sectional study on antenatal syphilis screening was conducted. The study settings were all 16 antenatal care clinics, and a random selection of 30 family units from six districts in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Interviews were conducted with 150 antenatal care providers and 27 antenatal care heads/leaders. Antenatal syphilis screening in Ulaanbaatar was complex. Most pregnant women had antenatal care at family units or antenatal clinics, but syphilis blood testing could be performed only in some district general hospitals. Syphilis positive-screening cases were referred to the venereologists for confirmation of results, appropriate treatment, contact tracing, and follow-up. The providers agreed with the need for syphilis screening in pregnant women but identified as constraints the limited time for performing the screening due to late antenatal visit, women's lack of knowledge, poverty, and geographic barriers. The practice of providers varied, and the opinion on a one-stop service was positive. The main conclusions concerning the failure of universal antenatal syphilis screening were limited accessibility and feasibility of the service, and the ignorance of both women and providers on the importance of screening. It was agreed that decentralization of antenatal syphilis screening would improve the system.
