Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;(9):30-33
Objective To study the application values of ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT) and colposcope pathological biopsy in screening of cervical cancer and premalignant lesion.Methods Two hundred and forty-two female patients with TCT results abnormal were selected as the research object,and they were examined in colposcope pathological biopsy.The diagnostic accordance between TCT and colposcope pathological biopsy was analyzed,and the result of colposcope pathological biopsy in cervical different parts was compared.Results In TCT,the ratio of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN) in atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance was 56.52% (52/92),that in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was 88.16%(67/76) and in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion was 100.00%(67/67),the test results of two methods had consistency by the Pearson rank correlation test (Pearson contingency coefficient =0.7588,x2 =328.37,P < 0.05).In colposcope pathological biopsy,the positive rate of lesions center was 90.22% (83/92),that of lesions edge was 73.17% (60/82) and that of 3,6,9,12 point was 71.74% (66/92),there were significant differences among the positive rate of the three parts by the unidirectional ordered categorical data rank and inspection (Kruskal-Wallis method)(P < 0.05),the positive rate of lesions center was higher than that of lesions edge and 3,6,9,12 point (P< 0.05),there was no significant difference in positive rate between lesions edge and with 3,6,9,12 point (P >0.05).Condusion The result of TCT and colposcope pathological biopsy is consistent,and the positive rate of lesions center of colposcope pathological biopsy is higher,which is higher than that of lesions edge and 3,6,9,12 point.

Objective To evaluate the quality of four domestic and three imported fourth-generation HIV diagnostic reagents.Methods The specificity and sensitivity of these assays were analyzed when testing HIV negative samples and HIV-1 RNA positive samples.The relative seroconversion sensitivity index was analyzed when testing BBI seroconversion panels.Results The sensitivity of seven 4th-generation assays were 100% (95% CI:99.86%-100% ),and one sample at the window period of HIV-1 infection were detected as positive.Of the seven assays,one imported assay exhibited the relative largeδ + value (1.0892),and the small δ+ value were found on the remaining six assays (0.0836-0.3003 ).For the samples negative for HIV antibody,varying degrees of false positives were observed on the seven assays ( specificity:97.80% -99.60%,δ- value:-1.3803 to -0.4778).When testing the BBI seroconversion panels,the relative seroconversion sensitivity index of domestic assays were -0.500-0,however,which of imported assays were -0.600 and -0.700.Conclusion The seven reagents exhibited high sensitivity and specificity.The 4th generation HIV assays can be used as blood screening reagents to find the samples at window period of HIV-1 infection,thus indicating the certain meaning in reducing the transmission risk of HIV-1 for fourth-generation HIV diagnostic reagents.However,the better efficiency to detect HIV-1 early infection was observed on the imported assays than on the domestic assays.

Objective To evaluate the differences between the third and the fourth generations of anti-HIV assays,and different kits within the same generation.Methods A total of 989 HIV-negative samples,185 samples positive for HIV-1 RNA.1st-generation international references of HIV antibodies and samples from 9 sets of BBI seroconversion panels were detected by 8 kits of the third generation and 4 kits of the fourth.Results The fourth generation kits can detect HIV infection earlier than the third generation kits.However,the detected days of HIV infection with different kits of the fourth generation were different whilst no significant difierences were found with difierent kits of the third generation.Furthermore,the capacity of detecting samples with different genotypes for different reagents was different,especially the capacity of domestic reagents on detecting HIV-1 O group and HIV-2 samples was relatively weak.Conclusion These data provided information to improve the quality of anti-HIV diagnostic reagents further.

Objective To explore the influence of social support and coping style on body and mind symptoms of patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Methods SCL-90, SSRS and MCMQ were used for the questionnaire survey of 168 patients with laryngeal carcinoma. Results The result of SCL-90 showed that all items were higher than those of norm in China, except the interpersonal relationship sensitivity and psychotic symptoms. The result of SSRS showed that the total score of social support was higher than that of norm, while the availability of support was obviously lower than that of norm. The result of MCMQ showed that avoidance and submissiveness were used frequently in patients, and avoidance was negatively correlat-ed with the factors of psychology. Conclusions Before the nursing plan and health consultation are set for patients with laryngeal carcinoma, the patients' social support should be used sufficiently, and the effect of coping style on patients' mental health should be evaluated.

Background:
In suckling piglets, transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) causes lethal diarrhea accompanied by high infection and mortality rates, leading to considerable economic losses. This study explored methods of preventing or inhibiting their production.Bovine antimicrobial peptide-13 (APB-13) has antibacterial, antiviral, and immune functions.
Objectives:
This study analyzed the efficacy of APB-13 against TGEV through in vivo and in vitro experiments.
Methods:
The effects of APB-13 toxicity and virus inhibition rate on swine testicular (ST) cells were detected using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). The impact of APB-13 on virus replication was examined through the 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50 ). The mRNA and protein levels were investigated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot (WB). Tissue sections were used to detect intestinal morphological development.
Results:
The safe and effective concentration range of APB-13 on ST cells ranged from 0 to 62.5 µg/mL, and the highest viral inhibitory rate of APB-13 was 74.1%. The log10 TCID50 of 62.5 µg/mL APB-13 was 3.63 lower than that of the virus control. The mRNA and protein expression at 62.5 µg/mL APB-13 was significantly lower than that of the virus control at 24 hpi. Piglets in the APB-13 group showed significantly lower viral shedding than that in the virus control group, and the pathological tissue sections of the jejunum morphology revealed significant differences between the groups.
Conclusions
APB-13 exhibited good antiviral effects on TGEV invivo and in vitro.
