Objective To investigate the changes of serum insulin-like growth factor-2 (IGF-2) and insulin-link growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3) in the patients with ovarian cancer before and after operation,and evaluate their clinical significance.MethodsThe contents of serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 in 82 patients with ovarian cancer were detected by ELISA before and after operation and compared with that in health controls.ResultsThe contents of IGF-2 in the patients before operation were significantly higher than that in control group[(101.5±22.2)ng/ml,(49.3±15.6)ng/ml vs (69.6±17.7)ng/ml,(23.9±11.3)ng/ml,t＝3.74,2.85,P＜0.05].The contents of IGFBP-3[(39.8±11.1)ng/ml]in the patients before operation were significantly lower than that in control group[(55.8±19.2)ng/ml](t′＝4.49,P＜0.05).There was significant correlation between the contents with lymph node metastasis and clinical stage[(107.5±24.0)ng/ml,(41.7±16.9)ng/ml vs (91.6±17.7)ng/ml,(56.9±19.1)ng/ml;(103.4±27.2)ng/ml,(50.2±16.6)ng/ml vs (86.6±12.3)ng/ml,(41.1±17.1)ng/ml,t＝2.83,2.37,2.48,3.32,P＜0.05).The contents of IGF-2 was significantly decreased,and IGFBP-3 was significantly increased in patients after radical operation [(86.6±12.3)ng/ml,(41.1±17.1)ng/ml vs (103.2±26.0)ng/ml,(45.3±14.9)ng/ml,t′＝3.46,t＝2.67,P＜0.05].But there was no significant difference on the level of IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 before and after palliative resection(P＞0.05).ConclusionsThe contents of serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 are closely related to tumor invasion,metastasis and clinical stage.Dynamic determination of the contents of serum IGF-2 and IGFBP-3 may be an important index for evaluation of invasion,metastasis,efficacy and prognosis for the patients with ovarian cancer.

Objective:To enhance the capabilities of individual monitoring technology services for external exposure.Methods:The intercomparison results of the national individual monitoring for external exposure during 2015-2019 were presented, together with a summary and analysis provided of the main existing problems.Results:By 2019, 382 of individual monitoring technology service uints, from 30 provinces, autonomous regions or municipalities, participated in the individual monitoring intercomparisons results, involving disease control and prevention centers, occupational prevention and control institutions, research institutes, universities, nuclear industry, medical institutions, and companies. Except for slightly low in 2017, the pass rate in the other four years was above 90%. The excellence rate increased with the years.Conclusions:The capabilities of individual monitoring service units can meet the concerned requirements and provide standardized monitoring report for the period of 2015 to 2019, but with some being unqualified. These service units should carefully analyze and identify the reasons for the failure, standardize the quality control of laboratory, and improve the level of measurement and the ability of data analysis.

Objective:To investigate the application of Aptima high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) E6/E7 mRNA (AHPV) and its genotyping (GT) in the risk assessment of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).Methods:The AHPV and its genotype (AHPV-GT) incervical exfoliated cells were detectedin 529 women with LSIL.The DNA-Based Hybrid Capture 2 HPV Test (HC2-HPV), colposcopy and cervical biopsy were performedsimultaneously.Results:① In 529 patients with LSIL, the positive rate of HC2-HPV in the group of ＜30 years old was significantly higher than that in the group of ≥30 years old (92.2％ vs 83.6％, P=0.026).There was no significant difference in AHPV positive rate among different age groups (82.5％ vs 77.7％, P=0.284).No significant difference of the genotyping (AHPV-GT) was detected between the two groups, either.In the 529 cases, 83 cases of HSIL+were confirmed by histology.81 cases (97.6％) were AHPV positive in the patients with HSIL+;② Compared with other 11 positive types of HR-HPV, the incidence of HSIL+in GT+ women increased significantly (P＜0.05).In the group ≥30 years old, the OR value of HSIL+exposure risk of AHPV16 positive women was the highest (141.00), which was significantly higher than that of 18/45+, GT +, AHPV + (P=0.005, 0.000, 0.000).However, in the group of ＜30 years old, the OR value of HSIL+exposure risk of AHPV16 positive women was 8.50, which showed no significant difference from that of 18/45+ and AHPV-(P=1.000, 0.070).③ In group over 30 years old, the specificity of detecting HSIL+by AHPV was higher than that by HC2-HPV (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in detection specificity between AHPV and HC2-HPV in women under 30 years old.Conclusions:AHPV and its GT detection are reliable methods for colposcopic screening and risk stratification in women aged over 30 years old with LSIL, more attention should be focused on AHPV16 positive.Better biological markers should be explored for younger women.

Objective To explore body image(BI),prosthesis satisfaction and quality of life(QOL)of amputees from Wenchuan earthquake and the relationship among them to provide evidence for the intervention.Methods A total of 21 amputees accepted a survey regarding QOL,BI,and satisfaction with prosthesis.The scale of SF-36 was used to assess QOL.Amputees Bodily Image Scale(ABIS)was;used to assess BI.A self-design questionnaire wag used to evaluate the prosthesis satisfaction of amputees.Results The scores of SF-36,ABIS,and prosthesis satisfaction wag 41.90 ±15.00,64.58 ±10.60,and 59.52±11.06,respectively.The ABIS scores in women(65.07 ±12.10)were hisher than that in men(63.20 ±5.0)(P＜0.05).There was a positive correlation between score of QOL and prosthesis satisfaction,but a negative correlation between QOL and BI.The negative correlations were also observed between BI and Vitality,BI and mental health.Prosthesis satisfaction had positive correla tions with education level.QOL and mental health.Conclusion The body image disturbance(BID)and dissatis faction with prosthesis may cause negative influences on the amputees'quality of life.Relevant intervention should be provided of amputees handling their prostheses and body images correctly and raising QOL.

Objective To study the Hainan Utstein templates used for cardiac arrest and resuscitation registries to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and outcomes of the patients with CPR by multi-center study. Methodsccording to the Utstein templates for cardiac arrest and CPR set by International Liaison Committee on resuscitation in 2004, a Hainan Utstein CPR registry chart was designed and a prospective descriptive study was carried out to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics, impact factors and outcomes of the patients with resuscitation attempt in emergency departments of thirteen hospitals in Hainan Island between January 2007 and December 2010.Results Of 1125 patients with cardiac arrest, male accounted for 73. 8％ and female was 26. 2％. The mean ( ± S. D) age of the cardiac arrest patients was 53.9 ± 13. 1 years old.Coronary heart diseases and hypertension were the most common preexisting chronic diseases in the studied patients. The ROSC rate and discharge rates after survival in 1125 patients with CPR were 23. 8％ and 7.4％ respectively. The ROSC rate and discharge rates after survival were 36. 3％ and 11.6％ in the in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) group, respectively whereas 11.5％ and 3. 3％ in out-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) group. Of 188 patients with ventricular fibrillation/Pulseless ventricular tachycardia, the ROSC rate and discharge rate after survival were 58.0％and 21.8％,respectively. Of them, 448 (39. 8％ ) of the cardiac arrest patients had underlying cardiac causes, and the ROSC rate and discharge rate after survival were 36. 3％ and 11.5％ respectively in IHCA group whereas 11.6％ and 3. 3％ in OHCA group. The ROSC rate and discharge rate after survival were 69. 8％ and 7. 4％respectively in the tertiary hospitals whereas 30. 2％ and 7. 3％ in the secondary hospitals. Conclusions Patients experienced cardiac arrest were predominantly male. Coronary heart disease and hypertension were the two most common preexisting chronic diseases. The ROSC rate and discharge rate of patients with IHCA were higher than those with OHCA. ROSC rate and discharge rate after survival were higher in the ventriculat fibrillation/Pulseless ventricular tachycardia group than the other cardiac rhythms first witnessed groups. The time delayed of starting CPR after onset of cardiac arrest had a critical impact on survival and discharge rate in both IHCA and OHCA groups.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the association between chemical exposure, DNA methylation status and gene-environment interactions in the development of childhood acute leukemia (AL).

METHODSFrom January 1st 2009 to December 31st 2010, an exploratory case-control study was conducted on childhood AL among children who were less than 15 years of age in Shanghai, China. A total of 131 patients with newly diagnosed AL were recruited from 3 Shanghai children hospitals. The controls selected from the same hospital were healthy children who attended the physical check-up held by the department of Children's Healthcare, or who visited the clinic of developmental pediatrics or orthopedics (excluding blood diseases and malignant tumors). 140 controls matched with cases in gender and age were included in this study. Chemical exposure were investigated by questionnaires, methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) was adopted to analyze the methylation or deletion status of 8 genes, and gene-environment interactions were analyzed by relative excess risk of interaction (RERI), attributable proportion of interaction (API) and synergy index (S).

RESULTSThere were 131 and 140 subjects in case and control group, who were aged (6.9 ± 3.8) and (6.9 ± 3.9) years old (t = 0.01, P = 0.911), respectively. After adjusting age and other potential confounding factors, chemical substances' exposure of children/mother/father were all significantly higher in cases than that in controls (Children: OR = 3.90, 95% CI: 1.69-9.02; Mother: OR = 2.71, 95% CI: 1.12-6.52; Father: OR = 1.91, 95% CI: 1.05-3.47). For the 8 genes analyzed, the methylation status of DAPK and PTEN and P73 in case group were significantly higher than that in control group (cases: 3.1% (4 cases), 16.0% (21 cases), 7.6% (10 cases); controls: 0.7% (1 case), 2.9% (4 cases), 0.7% (1 case); χ²: 7.11, 16.90, 11.38; P value: 0.029, 0.000, 0.003). The methylation status of P16 in case group was significantly lower than that in control group (cases: 3.8% (5 cases); controls: 8.6% (12 cases), χ² = 10.33, P = 0.007). The interactions of children chemical substances' exposure and 3 genes' (PTEN, P16 and P73) methylation status were probably existed after adjusted for confounding factors (PTEN: RERI = -7.01, API = -2.14, S = 0.24; P16: RERI = 4.08, API = 0.53, S = 2.59; P73: RERI = 4.32, API = 0.48, S = 2.19), we also found the potential interaction between maternal chemical substances' exposure and PTEN, P16 gene methylation status (PTEN: RERI = -1.30, API = -0.38, S = 0.65; P16: RERI = 1.70, API = 0.38, S = 1.97).

CONCLUSIONThe study suggested the strong combined effects of chemical substances exposure of children and abnormal methylation status were risk factors of childhood AL, and there existed different interaction between them, which may indicate the important role in the pathogenesis process of childhood AL.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between children's and their parents' lifestyles, household environmental exposures and risk of childhood acute leukemia (AL).

METHODSA 1:2 matched case-control study of childhood AL was conducted in Shanghai between April 2011 and January 2014. The study enrolled 66 cases aged < 15, diagnosed with AL and 132 controls matched by age, gender and residence. All of the controls had no hematological diseases or previous history of malignancy. Children who had been adopted and had congenital genetic syndromes such as Down's syndrome or a positive HIV test result were not eligible as either cases or controls. Information was obtained from standardized face-to-face interviews of their parents/guardians with detailed questions on demographic characteristics, lifestyle, and household environment. Conditional logistic regression models were used to analyze effecting factors of childhood AL, odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.

RESULTSAmong 198 cases, 66 cases were aged (5.0 ± 3.7) years old, and 132 controls were aged (6.0 ± 3.8) years old (t = 0.48, P = 0.523). The paternal drink frequencies of cases and controls were 57.6% (38/66), and 31.1% (41/132), respectively (χ² = 4.91, P = 0.027). And the frequencies of household insecticides usage in the last year in the two groups were 78.8% (52/66), and 65.2% (86/132) (χ² = 3.87, P = 0.049). Chemical exposure during childhood (OR = 4.76, 95% CI: 1.34-16.89), maternal exposure to chemicals (OR = 4.51, 95% CI: 1.65-12.33), household insecticides use during 0-3 years of child (OR = 2.90, 95% CI: 1.31-6.39), and renovating after their children's birth (OR = 3.12, 95% CI: 1.26-7.74) were associated with an increased risk of childhood AL and these differences between the cases and the controls have statistical significance. Besides, we found that frequent contaction with other children during 0-3 years old (OR = 0.32, 95% CI: 0.15-0.69) and ventilation during sleeping in summer (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.18-0.98) were associated with a decreased risk of childhood AL.

CONCLUSIONOur results support the association between children's and their parents' lifestyles, household environmental exposures and childhood AL.

ObjectiveTo analyze the quality and status of technical service items of radiation health technical service institutions (RHTSI) in China. Methods A total of 608 and 622 RHTSIs with radiation health technical service qualifications from 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in the years of 2021 and 2022 were selected as the research subjects. The data of quality monitoring of radiological health technology services, comparison of radiological health testing capabilities, and investigation of the current status of technical support institutions were collected to analyze the status of technical service items which was conducted by RHTSIs from 2021 to 2022. Results A total of 622 RHTSIs in China obtained technical service institution qualifications in 2022, an increase of 14 from 608 in 2021. While a total of 404 of 622 RHTSIs conducted radiological health technology services, a decrease of 11.4% from 456 in 2021. A total of 241 804 technical service items were conducted in 2022, an increase of 39.7% from 173 064 in 2021. The median number of technical service items by non-health system RHTSIs was higher than that of the health system RHTSIs in 2021 and 2022, (203 vs 40 items, 215 vs 55 items, all P<0.01). The number of technical service institutions and technical service items conducted in different regions from high to low were the eastern, central, and western regions in 2021. The number of technical service institutions in different regions was highest in the eastern region, followed by the central and western regions, while the number of technical service items from high to low were the eastern, western, and central regions in 2022. The number of provincial, municipal, and county-level health system RHTSIs decreased by 6.5%, 26.3%, and 27.3%, respectively, in 2022 compared with 2021. The number of technical service items conducted by provincial health system RHTSIs increased by 48.6%, while those conducted by municipal and county-level health system RHTSIs decreased by 13.8% and 21.3%, respectively. Conclusion Although the number of RHTSI conducting technical services decreases in 2022 compared with 2021, the number of technical service items conducted increases. Non-medical RHTSI undertake the majority of technical service items. Within the medical institutes, the number of technical service items conducted by provincial RHTSI is higher than that of municipal and county-level RHTSI.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the results of the individual dose intercomparison in which province-level health institutions participating, and explore the role of ability intercomparison in improving the detection capabilities of province-level health institutions.Methods:From 2009 to 2022, the results obtained by the province-level CDCs and occupational prevention and control institutions in the individual dose intercomparison countrywide for time periods of 2009—2020 and 2021—2022 were summarized. The intercomparison results were analyzed and compared for three regions of east, central and west China divided according to the method from China Health Statistics Yearbook 2022.Results:A total of 24 province-level CDCs and 14 occupational prevention and control institutions countrywide participated in the ability intercomparison from 2009—2022 for 13 times. Number of participating institutions increased from 26 in 2009 to 37 in 2022. The qualified rates of the intercomparison results among the province-level health institutions in the three regions were maintained at higher than 85% for 37 times and 100% for 28 times. The pass rate and excellent rate of the three regions were higher than the overall level at whole country level (2009-2020) and national level (2021-2022) in the same period for 9 and 5 times, respectively. The excellent rate of province-level health institutions in central region were higher than that of the other two regions in 9 intercomparisons.Conclusions:With the improvement of the intercomparison standard, the province-level health institutions in various regions have maintained a relatively stable and high detection capability. The ability intercomparison effectively improve the detection ability and the quality control of the province-level health organizations. Many province-level agencies have listed the ability intercomparison as the regular work.
