Objective To Investigate correlation between screening assay of human papillomavirus (HPV) and microbial pathogens in gynecology. Methods Cervical samples were collected to search for HPV, bacteria and yeast infections in gynecologic outpatients. HPV typing was carried out by PCR and sequencing on cervical brush specimens. Chlamydia trachomatis was identified by strand displacement amplification (SDA) and the other microorganisms were detected by conventional methods. All data were analyzed to investigate the correlation among them. Results In this cross-sectional study, among 857 enrolled outpatients, there were 266 cases with positive HPV DNA, and the rate of infection was 31.0%(266/857). HPV genotype showed that thirty-five different HPV types were identified, of which HPV16 was the most prevalent ( 14.5%, 38/262), followed by HPV58 (9.2%, 24/262), HPV53 (8.0%, 21/262)and HPV42 (6.1%, 16/262); while other genotypes were present in less than 5% of HPV positive women.According to the reclassification, the aggregated percentage (high-risk and probably high-risk) of detected HPV was 58.8% ( 154/262), 27.9% (73/262) for low-risk and 13.4% (35/262) for unknown-risk HPV types. Among HPV positive women, cervical brush specimens results showed that more than 60% cases with normal cytology, 3.8% (10/266) with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), 29. 7% (79/266) with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) and 3.0% (8/266) with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS), respectively. Statistical analyses revealed there was a significant association between the infected HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum ( >10000 CCU/ml; all P <0.01), while no correlation was found between HPV infection and bacterial vaginosis, streptococcus agalactiae, candida, Trichomonas vaginalis or Ureaplasma urealyticum ( ≤ 10000CCU/ml; all P > 0.05 ). Among the cases with bacterial vaginosis, the positive rate of HPV infected was42.6%. Chlamydia trachomatis was one of the high-risk factors for the infection of HPV ( OR = 2.82, 95%CI: 1.74 -4.57). Mycoplasma hominis was isolated only in 2 cases, no patient was infected with Neisseria gonorrhocae. Conclusions Although bacterial vaginosis was not significantly associated with HPV, it was more common among the HPV positive women. There is the significant association between HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis or Ureaplasma urealyticum which may be increase the infection of HPV. These data suggest that it may be important to screen for the simultaneous presence of different microorganisms which may have synergistic pathological effects.

Objective:To explore the effect of lipoic acid on oxidative stress,inflammation and nutritional status in peritoneal dialysis patients.Methods:94 peritoneal dialysis patients were randomly divided into the observe group(n=47) the control group(n=47).They all accepted the conventional treatment,but the patients in the observed group were given the treatment of lipoic acid capsules(0.2 g tid) for 12 weeks.Superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),serum advanced oxidation protein products ( AOPPs ) were used to reflect the level of oxidative stress, high sensitive CRP, IL-6 and TNF-αwere used to reflect the micro inflammatory state, modified quantitative subjective global assessment ( MQSGA ) , mid-arm circumference, mid-arm muscle circumference,triceps skinfold thickness ( TSF ) , body mass index ( BMI ) , and serum albumin were used to reflect the nutritional status.The difference of oxidative stress, micro inflammatory state and nutritional status were compared between the two groups.Results:①In the observation group,the concentrations of AOPPs and MDA after treatment were significantly lower than that before treatment,and the concentration of SOD after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment ( P<0.05 );after treatment,the concentrations of AOPPs and MDA in the observe group were significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05), and the concentration of SOD in the observe group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05 ) .②In the observation group,the concentrations of high sensitive CRP,IL-6 and TNF-αafter treatment were significantly lower than that before treatment(P<0.05);after treatment,the concentrations of high sensitive CRP,IL-6 and TNF-αin the observe group were significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05 ) .③In the observation group, the TSF, mid-arm circumference, mid-arm muscle circumference,BMI and albumin after treatment were significantly higher than that before treatment(P<0.05),and the MQSGA after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment ( P<0.05 );after treatment, the MQSGA in the observe group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),and serum albumin in the observe group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Lipoic acid could improve oxidative stress in peritoneal dialysis patients,so as to improve the micro inflammatory state and nutritional status.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of mefformin tablets in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) with atherosclerosis.Methods A total of 84 T2DM patients with atherosclerosis were divided into control group and treatment group according to the random number table method,42 cases in each group.All patients were given diet control,health education and exercise,etc..The control group was treated with gliclazide sustained-release tablets.The treatment group was treated with mefformin and treated for 6 months.The levels of fasting blood glucose(FBG) and 2 h postprandial blood glucose(2hPBG) were measured before and 6 months after treatment.The levels of intima-media thickness (cIMT),leptin (LP),adiponectin (TC),chitinase-3-like protein-1 (YKL-40),triglyceride (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured.The adverse reactions were observed in the two groups.Results After treatment for 6 months,the levels of FBG and 2hPBG in the treatment group were (6.71 ±0.41) mmol/L and (8.82 ±0.61) mmol/L,respectively,which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(6.96 ± 0.48) mmol/L,(9.58 ± 0.57) mmol/L,t =2.56,5.89,P =0.01,0.00].The levels of cIMT,TC,TG and LDL-C in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group at 6 months after treatment (t =5.36,6.46,9.10,2.31,P =0.00,0.00,0.00,0.02).After 6 months of treatment,the HDL-C level of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t =2.84,P =0.00).After treatment for 6 months,HDL-C level in the two groups was significantly higher than before treatment,the other indicators in the two groups were significantly lower than before treatment (all P < 0.05).There were no adverse reactions in the two groups during treatment.Conclusion Metformin in the treatment of T2DM patients with atherosclerosis has significant effect,it can improve blood glucose levels and the clinical and biochemical indicators,and it is safe.

Objective:In order to develop a comprehensive hospital debt risk model,it is imperative to conduct an analysis of the present debt risk landscape within public hospitals,so as to furnish hospitals with recommendations to avert potential debt risks.Methods:A debt risk model was constructed based on 7 common factors through the extraction and standardization of data from 25 indicators,using 600 public hospitals in a specific province as samples,followed by factor analysis.Results:The model's calculation of the comprehensive score of public hospitals aligns with professional explanations and provides a more accurate representation of the factors influencing the debt risk level of public hospitals,such as financial investment level,hospital type,hierarchy,and others.Conclusion:In conclusion,the model is efficient.It is imperative to adopt a comprehensive perspective on the matter of hospital debt and efficiently address the associated financial risks faced by public hospitals by fostering collaboration among multiple stakeholders and upholding fundamental principles.
