RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the epidemiology of HTLV by conducting HTLV nucleic acid detection among voluntary blood donors, so as to provide basis for the decision making of blood screening strategy. 【Methods】 The HTLV blood nucleic acid(NAT) screening platform was established based on the existing NAT for HBV / HCV / HIV screening. HTLV (type 1 + 2) detection was carried out in 5 368 blood donors, and the results were analyzed. 【Results】 No NAT-yielding of HTLV- 1, -2 type was found in a total of 5 368 voluntary blood donor from January to August 2019. 【Conclusion】 Qianxinan, currently, is very low epidemic or non epidemic as none of HTLV infections was found among blood donors and no significant differences in the epidemiology of HTLV were notable between the counties and cities. It, however, still needs further investigation in the future.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the correlation between root and root canal diameter of maxillary central incisors and age by cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT).Methods:CBCT images of 420 cases of Chinese Han population were divided into 7 age groups as follows:1 5 -24,25 -34,35 -44,45 -54,55 -64,65 -74 and 75 -84(n =60).Root diameter and root canal diameter of maxillary central incisors at the 3 /4 level from the cemenal-enamel junction(CEJ)to root apical were measured.Linear-regression a-nalysis was used to analyze the correlation between root and root canal diameter of the teeth and age,T-test was used to examine the gender difference.Results:Mean root diameter(mm)of the teeth in males and females were 5.81 ±0.445 and 5.53 ±0.489(P <0.05),mean root canal diameter(mm)1 .20 ±0.396 and 0.96 ±0.236(P <0.05),mean of the ratio of root canal diameter and root diameter of the teeth 0.21 ±0.072 and 0.1 7 ±0.043(P <0.05)respectively.There were negative correlations between the ratio of root canal diameter and root diameter of the teeth with age (R2 =0.576,P <0.05).Conclusion:The ratio of root canal diameter and root diameter of maxillary central incisors is negitively correlated with age in Chinese Han population.The decrease of root canal diame-ter in males is more significant than that in females.
