Objective To analyse the high-risk human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in women, and to analyze the protective effect of bivalent HPV vaccine on HPV infection. Methods A case-control study method was used to retrospectively investigate the HPV infection status of 9246 women who received high-risk HPV infection examination in the outpatient department of Shiyan people's Hospital of Hubei from January 2018 to December 2018. The second-generation hybrid capture method and colposcopy examination were used to diagnose. Using a 1:1 matching method, the uninfected individuals who were examined during the same period were taken as the control group, and the confirmed infected group was taken as the case group, and the differences in the vaccination rates of the bivalent HPV vaccine between the two groups were compared. At the same time, the case group was divided into two groups according to the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups and followed up. The events ranged from 24 to 36 months. The incidence of persistent HPV infection, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer were counted to understand Protective effect of bivalent HPV vaccination against HPV infection in a high-risk female population. Results A total of 1 632 cases (17.65%) of 9 246 women were screened positive for high-risk HPV infection. Chi-square results showed that the HPV positive infection rate of rural women (32.84%) was lower than that of urban women (67.16%). , Marital status also has a certain influence on HPV infection. Among the 1632 cases of HPV positive infection, 629 cases (38.54%) were vaccinated with bivalent HPV vaccine, and 1003 cases (61.46%) were not vaccinated with bivalent HPV vaccine. During the follow-up period of 24-36 months, the vaccination group finally obtained follow-up data of 584 cases due to unwillingness to cooperate (18 cases), unable to conduct research due to organic changes (24 cases), and mental disorders (3 cases), with a loss to follow-up rate of 7.15 cases. %; In the unvaccinated group, 949 cases of follow-up data were finally obtained due to change of residence (32 cases), low degree of cooperation (20 cases) and psychological factors (2 cases), and the loss to follow-up rate was 5.38%. The results after follow-up showed that the persistent HPV infection rate in the bivalent HPV vaccination group, the positive rate of high-risk HPV infection at the last follow-up, the cumulative incidence of CIN1 during the follow-up period, the cumulative incidence of CIN2+ during the follow-up period, the incidence of CIN1 at the last follow-up, and the incidence of CIN2+ at the last follow-up. and cervical cancer incidence rates were 3.07%, 0.82%, 1.84%, 1.02%, 0.82%, 0.20%, and 0.00%, respectively, and the bivalent HPV unvaccinated groups were 12.91%, 15.52%, 7.14%, 4.40%, and 3.02%, respectively. , 1.37% and 0.27%. Persistent HPV infection rate, positive rate of high-risk HPV infection at last follow-up, cumulative incidence of CIN1 during follow-up, cumulative incidence of CIN2+ during follow-up, incidence of CIN1 at last follow-up, and incidence of CIN2+ at last follow-up were significantly lower in bivalent HPV vaccination group in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Bivalent HPV vaccination has an important protective effect on HPV persistent infection, cervical lesions and cervical cancer in high-risk women.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and one of the deadliest cancers worldwide.According to the distribution of tumor tissue,breast cancer can be divided into invasive and non-invasive forms.The cancer cells in invasive breast cancer pass through the breast and through the immune system or systemic circulation to different parts of the body,forming metastatic breast cancer.Drug resistance and distant metastasis are the main causes of death from breast cancer.Research on breast cancer has attracted extensive attention from researchers.In vitro construction of tumor models by tissue engineering methods is a common tool for studying cancer mechanisms and anticancer drug screening.The tumor microenvironment consists of cancer cells and various types of stromal cells,including fibroblasts,endothelial cells,mesenchymal cells,and immune cells embedded in the extracellular matrix.The extracellular matrix contains fibrin proteins(such as types Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ,Ⅵ,and Ⅹcollagen and elastin)and glycoproteins(such as proteoglycan,laminin,and fibronectin),which are involved in cell signaling and binding of growth factors.The current traditional two-dimensional(2D)tumor models are limited by the growth environment and often cannot accurately reproduce the heterogeneity and complexity of tumor tissues in vivo.Therefore,in recent years,research on three-dimensional(3D)tumor models has gradually increased,especially 3D bioprinting models with high precision and repeatability.Compared with a 2D model,the 3D environment can better simulate the complex extracellular matrix components and structures in the tumor microenvironment.Three-dimensional models are often used as a bridge between 2D cellular level experiments and animal experiments.Acellular matrix,gelatin,sodium alginate,and other natural materials are widely used in the construction of tumor models because of their excellent biocompatibility and non-immune rejection.Here,we review various natural scaffold materials and construction methods involved in 3D tissue-engineered tumor models,as a reference for research in the field of breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the etiology of necrotizing pneumonia (NP) in children and the clinical characteristics of NP caused by different pathogens in China.Methods:A retrospective, case-control study was performed in children with NP who were admitted to 13 hospitals in China from January 2008 to December 2019. The demographic and clinical information, laboratory data, etiological and radiological findings were analyzed. The data were divided into three groups based on the following years: 2008-2011, 2012-2015 and 2016-2019, and the distribution characteristics of the pathogens in different period were compared. Meanwhile, the pathogens of pediatric NP in the southern and northern China were compared. And the clinical characteristics of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) NP and the bacterial NP were also compared. T-test or Mann-Whitney nonparametric test was used for comparison of numerical variables, and χ 2 test was used for categorical variables. Results:A total of 494 children with NP were enrolled, the median ages were 4.7 (0.1-15.3) years, including 272 boys and 222 girls. Among these patients, pathogens were identified in 347 cases and the pathogen was unclear in the remaining 147 cases. The main pathogens were MP (238 cases), Streptococcus pneumoniae (SP) (61 cases), Staphylococcus aureus (SA) (51 cases), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (13 cases), Haemophilus influenzae (10 cases), adenovirus (10 cases), and influenza virus A (7 cases), respectively. MP was the most common pathogen in all three periods and the proportion increased yearly. The proportion of MP in 2016-2019 was significantly higher than that in 2012-2015 (52.1% (197/378) vs. 36.8% (32/87), χ 2= 6.654, P=0.010), while there was no significant difference in the proportion of MP in 2012-2015 and that in 2008-2011 (36.8% (32/87) vs. 31.0% (9/29), χ2=0.314, P=0.575).Regarding the regional distribution, 342 cases were in the southern China and 152 in the northern China. Also, MP was the most common pathogen in both regions, but the proportion of MP was higher and the proportion of SP was lower in the north than those in the south (60.5% (92/152) vs. 42.7% (146/342), χ 2=13.409, P<0.010; 7.9% (12/152) vs. 14.3% (49/342), χ 2= 4.023, P=0.045). Comparing the clinical characteristics of different pathogens, we found that fever and cough were the common symptoms in both single MP and single bacterial groups, but chest pain was more common (17.0% (34/200) vs. 6.1% (6/98), χ 2=6.697, P=0.010) while shortness of breath and wheezing were less common in MP group (16.0% (32/200) vs. 60.2% (59/98), χ 2=60.688, P<0.01; 4.5% (9/200) vs. 21.4% (21/98), χ 2=20.819, P<0.01, respectively). The white blood cell count, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in the bacterial group were significantly higher than those in the MP group (14.7 (1.0-67.1)×10 9/L vs. 10.5 (2.5-32.2)×10 9/L, 122.5 (0.5-277.3) mg/L vs. 51.4 (0.5-200.0) g/L, 2.13 (0.05-100.00) μg/L vs. 0.24 (0.01-18.85) μg/L, Z=-3.719, -5.901 and -7.765, all P<0.01). Conclusions:The prevalence of pediatric NP in China shows an increasing trend during the past years. MP, SP and SA are the main pathogens of NP, and the most common clinical symptoms are fever and cough. The WBC count, C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in bacterial NP are significantly higher than those caused by MP.
