1. Correlation between high-risk HPV infection and bacterial vaginosis in gynecological outpatient department
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2019;26(23):2899-2902
Objective:
To explore the correlation between high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and bacterial vaginosis in gynecological outpatient department.
Methods:
From January 2017 to June 2017, 1 563 cases of gynecologic outpatient who underwent vaginal microecological examination and HPV examination in Jiaxing Maternal and Child Health Care Center were selected to analyze the infection rate of high-risk HPV in different age groups.The 1 563 patients were divided into high-risk HPV positive group and negative group.The vaginal microecological indicators and the incidence of bacterial vaginosis in the two groups were analyzed.
Results:
Among the 1 563 patients, 385 caes were positive for high-risk HPV, the positive rate was 24.63%.The positive rate of high-risk HPV infection increased with age.There wereno statistically significant differences in pH > 4.5, hydrogen peroxide and leukocyte esterase positive rate between high-risk HPV positive group and negative group (40.52% vs.59.48%, 59.74% vs.40.26%, 51.17% vs.48.83%)(χ2=1.625, 0.188, 3.61, all

Objective To study the correlation between intermedin 1-53 (IMD 1-53) with hypertension and formation of carotid atheromatous plaques.Methods One hundred and thirty-eight patients with 1-2 degree hypertension admitted to our hospital for carotid ultrasonography were divided into atheromatous plaques group (n =98) and atheromatous plaques-free group (n=40) with 30 subjects undergoing physical examination served as a control group in this study.Their serum IMD 1-53 level,blood pressure,and carotid IMT were measured and compared.Results The SBP [(158.57±13.55)mm Hg and (145.16±14.54)mm Hg vs (125.24±10.64)mm Hg,1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa],DBP[(95.23±5.62)mm Hg and (87.15±4.72)mm Hg vs (80.31±4.62)mm Hg] and carotid IMT[(1.26±0.38)mm and (1.05±0.28)mm vs (0.87±0.38)mm] and serum IMD 1-53 level (7.20±1.62 ng/L vs 5.05±1.85 ng/L,P<0.01) were significantly higher in atheromatous plaques group and atheromatous plaques-free group than in control group and in atheromatous plaques group than in atheromatous plaques-free group.Conclusion IMD 1-53 is involved in the formation of carotid atheromatous plaques and can resist or delay the formation of carotid atheromatous plaques.
