Research progress on new techniques for preimplantation genetic diagnosis / 医学研究生学报

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) was developed to play a supporting role in assisted reproductive technology. With this kind of detection method, embryos with copy number variations, chromosome translocations or single mutations were excluded and the normal embryos were chosen and implanted. Theoretically, the application of these procedures could improve the implantation and pregnancy rate and help to delivery healthy offspring. PGD was considered to be more precise, higher specific and non-invasive with the appearance of microarray hybridization technology, the next generation sequencing and time-lapse monitoring technology. This paper presented a review of new Methods used in PGD, including fluorescence in situ hybridization, array comparative genomic hybridization, SNP array, next generation sequencing, MicroSeq-PGD, MaReCs, time-lapse monitoring and cfDNA-based method, and their advantages and disadvantages as well as efficacy in the procedures in which they are used.

Age distribution and infection types of human papillomavirus cervical infection in patients in Wuhan region / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To investigate the age distribution and types of human papillomavirus (HPV) cervical infection in patients in Wuhan region, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of HPV infection and cervical cancer.Methods 9 915 exfoliated cervical cell specimens from patients in Wuhan Medical and Health Center for Women and Children between January 2015 and March 2016 were performed HPV genotyping (21 subtypes), clinical data of 1 732 HPV positive cases were statistically analyzed.Results HPV-positive rates in ≤25, 26~, 36~, 46~, and ≥56 age groups were 22.15%, 15.90%, 17.04%, 19.97%, and 17.57%,respectively (χ2=36.587,P<0.01),HPV-positive rates in ≤25 and 46~ age groups were both higher than other age groups.There were significant differences in single infection and multiple infection rates among different age groups respectively(χ2=14.39, 36.51,respectively, both P<0.05),single infection rate was highest in 46~ and ≤25 age groups (15.41% and 15.24% respectively);multiple infection rates was highest in ≤25 and ≥56 age groups (6.90% and 5.86% respectively).The percentage of single infection and multiple infection were 75.58% and 24.42% respectively, the major single infection type was HPV high-risk subtype (84.34%),the major multiple infection types were high-risk and high-risk compound subtype as well as high-risk and low-risk compound subtype, accounting for 60.52% and 38.77% respectively.The main single infection types were HPV high-risk subtypes 33, 68, 31 and 16, as well as and low-risk subtype 11, the ratios of single infection to multiple infection were 3.13, 2.03, 1.71, 1.67 and 2.00 respectively.Conclusion Cervical infection rates in women in Wuhan region is high in ≤25 and 46~ age groups, there are differences in the distribution of different HPV subtypes of single infection and multiple infection.

Human papillomavirus infection situation and its genotype distribution among gynecological outpatients / 重庆医学

Objective To understand the status quo of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and its genotypes distribution a-mong gynecological outpatients in Chengdu region .Methods The DNA microarray technique combined with PCR and DNA reverse hybridizatio technology was used to detect the genotypes of HPV infection .The data were analyzed by the SPSS 13 .0 software .Re-sults A total of 5 052 samples of cervical exfoliated cells among gynecological outpatients were detected ,and the total positive rate of HPV infection was 17 .52% .The differences of HPV infection among various age groups were statistically significant ,especially the positive rate of HPV infection in the 20-25 years age group was higher than that in the 26-30 years age group and the 31-35 years age group(P<0 .05) ,and which in the 36 -40 years age group was also higher than that in the 26 -30 years age group (P<0 .05) .The positive detection rate of high risk HPV subgenotypes was 18 .1% ,which was higher than 5 .5% of low risk sub-genotypes with statistical difference (P<0 .01) .HPV 52 was the most frequent subgenotypes in high risk subgenotypes ,accounting for 15 .03% ,followed by HPV 16 and HPV 58;HPV 81 was the most frequent subgenotypes in low risk subgenotypes ,accounting for 7 .98% .Conclusion The positive rate of HPV infection among gynecological outpatients is higher ,and the majority of geno-types are high risk .It is suggested that the routine examination of HPV subgenotypes detection focused on different age groups should be recommended .
