1.Study on the change of lung artery pressure in the patients with silicosis
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;0(6):23-26
A prospective study was carried out on 75 patients in which there were 54 Silic-silicosis patients (BBP- Si) to investigate the change of lung artery pressure in the patients with silicosis. The participants were divided into 2 groups: control group included 21 patients who had no cardiological or respiratory diseases; BBP-Si group included 54 patients. Results: the incidence rate of p type was high: 44 cases (81.5%), q type had 8 cases (14.8%). Injuries of level 1 had the highest rate (62.9%). In the BBP-Si group, the mean value of systolic lung artery pressure and the mean value of lung artery pressure were higher than that of control group with p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively. The mean value of diastolic lung artery pressure did not change. Systolic and average lung artery pressure increased high in the group of mass fibrosis.

Renal artery pseudoaneurysm after blunt renal trauma is an uncommon complication of delayed hemorrhage, and diagnostic difficulties are experienced due to its rarity. Delayed hemorrhage after renal trauma is a lifethreatening complication. Angiography is considered the gold standard to diagnose a traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm. We report here a case of delayed bleeding from a renal artery pseudoaneurysm that was diagnosed at 17 days after the injury and that was managed successfully with selective renal artery embolization without medical complication.

Objective:
Female sex workers (FSWs) are at high risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and cervical cancer due to their high number of sexual partners. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of HPV and identify risk factors for high-risk HPV infection among FSWs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Viet Nam.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hanoi and HCMC between December 2017 and May 2018. We surveyed and screened 699 FSWs aged ≥18 years for HPV infection and abnormal cytology. A multivariable modified Cox regression model was used to determine risk factors for high-risk HPV infection.
Results
The overall prevalence of any HPV, high-risk HPV and HPV-16/18 infection in the 699 FSWs was 26.3%, 17.6% and 4.0%, respectively, and were similar in both cities. Multiple infections were identified in 127 participants (69.0%).HPV-52 was the most prevalent (7%), followed by HPV-58 (6%). Abnormal cytology was detected in 91 participants (13.0%). FSWs who are divorced (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR]: 1.96, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01–3.81), widowed (aPR: 3.26, 95% CI: 1.49–7.12) or living alone (aPR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.01–3.39) were associated with a higher prevalence of high-risk HPV infection.
