Genotyping of human papillomavirus in male patients with anogenital warts in Lishui area, Zhejiang province / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective To investigate the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotypes in male patients with anogenital warts in Lishui area,Zhejiang province.Methods Tissue specimens were obtained from the lesions of 150 male patients with anogenital warts.PCR-reverse dot blot hybridization was performed to detect the presence of 3 low-risk HPV types (HPV 6,11,and 43) and 16 moderate-or high-risk HPV types (HPV 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,53,56,58,59,66,68 and CP8304) in these specimens.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results HPV was detected in 91 (60.67％) of the 150 male patients.Of the 91 positive patients,74 (81.32％) were infected by single or multiple low-risk HPV types,whereas 17 (18.68％) by single or multiple high-risk HPV types.Thirty-one (34.07％) patients harbored 2-5 HPV genotypes,including 20 (64.52％)patients infected with both low-risk and high-risk HPV types,and 6 (19.35％) patients infected with two low-risk HPV types.The coexistence of moderate-or high-risk HPV types with HPV 6 was observed in 13 (41.94％)patients,and that with HPV 11 in 6 (19.35％) patients.The most prevalent genotype was HPV 6 (28.68％,39/136),followed by HPV 11 (26.47％,36/136),16 (8.09％,11/136),52 (5.15％,7/136),53 (5.15％,7/136),51 (4.41％,6/136),58 (4.41％,6/136) and 43 (4.41％,6/136).Conclusions Low-risk HPV genotypes predominate in male patients with anogenital warts,and there are large differences in the distribution of multiple infections and HPV genotypes.

Long-term results of elderly nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with conventional radiotherapy alone in 95 cases / 中华放射肿瘤学杂志

ObjectiveTo evaluate the outcomes and toxicities of elderly nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with conventional radiotherapy alone.MethodsFrom January 1995 to December 1998,95 newly diagnosed nasopharyngeai carcinoma with age ≥65 years treated in our hospital.The clinical data were analyzed retrospectively.Kaplan-Meier method was used for analysis of local-regional control survival and distant metastasis-free survival. The Logrank test was used for univariate prognostic analysis and Cox regression was used for multivariable prognostic analysis.ResultsThe follow-up rate was 98％.The 3-,5- and 8-year local-regional control (LRC) and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) rates were 89％,87％,84％ and 85％,79％,79％,respectively. The most common acute toxicities were grade1-2 leukopenia (36％),skin reaction (64％) and mucositis (66％).The most frequent late toxicities were hearing impairment (8％),trismus ( 10％ ) and radiation-induced cranial neuropathy (5％).In univariate analysis,interruption of radiotherapy ( χ2 =7.45,P =0.006 ) and regional neck lymph nodes response (χ2 =4.17,P=0.041 ) was the prognostic factors for LRC,T stage (χ2 =4.16,P=0.032),N stage ( χ2 =4.66,P =0.031 ) and interruption of radiotherapy ( χ2 =9.42,P =0.002 ) was the prognostic factors for DMFS. In multivariable analysis,interruption of radiotherapy and the regional neck lymph nodes response were the prognostic factors for LRC (χ2=6.19,P=0.013 and χ2=12.16,P=0.002;respectively),N stage and radiotherapy interruption were prognostic factors for DMFS.(χ2=15.06,P =0.000 and χ2 =21.62,P =0.000 ; respectively ).ConclusionsConventional radiotherapy alone for elder NPC can produce satisfactory results with acceptable treatment-relative toxicities.Our experience showed that the early N stage,without radiotherapy interruption and good regional lymph nodes response had a good longterm prognosis.

Application of gastric tube insertion by left recumbent position for patients with exanimation / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the practicability and clinical significance of gastric tube insertion by left recumbent position for patients with exanimation. Methods We divided 100 patients with exanimation who needed gastric tube insertion into the routien group and the left-recumbent-position group with 50 cases in each group randomly and adopted routine insertion method and insertion by left recumbent position.The success rate of tube insertion and incidence of complications were observed in the two groups.Results The one-time success rate of insertion was higher while the incidence of complication was lower in the left-recumbent-position group compared with the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Gastric tube insertion by left recumbent position proved to be a desirable method in that it could increase the onetime success rate of insertion and decrease the complications.So it worth widely applying.

Improvement of Light Cycler seeking-out capability / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To change methods of experiments for increasing Light Cycler's ability to seek out samples of function.Methods To increase the quantity of the reaction of substance,proceed to amplification in advance,and increase the seeking temperature etc.Results Above methods affects inapparent to the accuracy of the examination result,the method of increasing the seeking temperature is particularly simple and practical.Conclusion The inside clinical laboratory science process can adopt the above methods to increase the LightCycler's seeking-out function according to actual circumstance.
