Objective:This study aims to select the more suitable testing method for early screening of uterine cervical cancer to protect susceptible populations. Application value was compared between the two methods of high-risk HPV detection in early screening of uterine cervical cancer. Methods:The two methods, namely, fluorescence quantitation polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and HC2-HPV-DNA, were used to detect the infection status of 13 high-risk HPV types during women's health examination. The examined women were divided into four groups according to age (23 to 29 years old, 30 to 39 years old, 40 to 49 years old, and 50 to 58 years old). Statistical methods were applied to analyze the results. Results:The detected positive rates by fluorescence quantitation PCR and HC2-HPV-DNA were 15.93%(140/879) and 11.83%(104/879), respectively, among the 879 examined women. The common positive and negative rates were 9.56%(84/879) and 81.80%(719/879), respectively. The results of the two methods showed that the infection positive rate was obviously higher in the 40 to 49 year old and 50 to 58 year old groups. Statistical difference was observed between fluorescence quantitation PCR and HC2-HPV-DNA in detecting high-risk HPV types (P<0.05). Conclusion:HC2-HPV-DNA is superior to fluorescence quantitation PCR for detecting 13 high-risk HPV types and is more suitable for large-scale health screening. HC2-HPV-DNA can be applied in large-scale early screening of uterine cervical cancer, especially in women>40 years old who are at high risk of HPV, to prevent uterine cervical cancer efficiently.

To provide an evidence for clinical application, the distribution and radioimmunoimaging of 131I-labeled angiostatin in tumor-bearing mice were studied. Angiostatin was labeled with 131 I by the conventional chloramines T (Ch-T) method and injected into C-57 mice bearing Lewis lung cancer. The biodistribution of 131 I-angiostatin and whole body ECT imaging were studied at various intervals after injection. The average percentage of ID/g was 12. 48, 18. 56 and 23. 17 for tumor and 7. 04 ,5. 47 and 1. 73 for liver at 48, 96, 144 hours postinjection, respectively. The T/NT ratios were 1. 77, 3. 39 and 13. 39 for liver at 48 ,96 and 144 hours postinjection, respectively. The tumor was showed clearly at 96 hours after injection . The quality of tumor imaging was relevant to the T/NT ratio . The results demonstrated that the 131I-angiostatin binds specifically to the receptor on endothelial cells in the tumor and may also possess the capability of locating lung cancer tissue.

Objective To investigate the distribution of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infections among general population in Tianjin. Methods Individuals (n=11 096) who visited our hospital for medical examination and H. Pylori infection screen were included in the research objects. Rapid urease method was utilized to rapidly detect H. pylori infection among the popultion. Individuals were grouped based on their gender, age and occupations, and then were analyzed. Results H. pylori-positive rate was 30.52%(3 386/11 096) in 11 096 individuals, in which there were 34.77%(1 784/5 131) male and 26.86%(1 602/5 965) female respectively. Individuals were divided into 5 groups according to their ages:19 to 29 years old group, 30 to 39 years old group, 40 to 49 years old group, 50 to 59 years old group, 60 to 69 years old group and 70 to 92 years old group. The positive rates of H. pylori increased with age:19.50%( 379/1 944 ) in 19-29 years old group, 25.82%(650/2 517 ) in 30-39 years old group, 31.59%( 908/2 874 ) in 40-49 years old group, 37.48%(915/2 441 ) in 50-59 years old group, 41.09%( 353/859 ) in 60-69 years old group and 39.18%(181/462) in 70-92 years old group. The differences in positive rates between different age groups were all of statistically significant (P<0.05). Individuals were also divided into seven groups according to their occupations: medical worker group, worker group, teacher group, engineer group, clerk group, civil worker group and other career group. The positive rates of H. pylori infection were 25.42%(586/2 305), 29.35%(1 062/3 618), 30.61%(360/1 176), 32.49%(116/357), 33.44%(205/613), 34.52%(455/1 318)and 35.23%(602/1 709) respectively. The positive rate was 25.42% (586/2 305) medical workers, which was lower than that of other occupation groups with significant difference (P<0.002). Conclusion Good management of H. pylori diagnosis and treatment in mid-dle age and elderly together with popularizing knowledge of H.pylori prevention can effectively reduce H.pylori incidence.

ObjectivesTo compare operative characteristics, postoperative residue, recurrence, and pregnancy outcome between laparoscopic myomectomy (LM) and transabdominal myomectomy (TAM),and investigate the favourable surgical approach in women with uterine myomas. MethodsFrom Jan 2008 to Dec 2008, 313 women undergoing LM and 148 women undergoing TAM were studied retrospectively in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The patients' general information, including the largest diameter,mean numbers and weights of excised myomas, peri-operative characteristics (operating time, blood loss,and hemoglobin decrease), and residue, recurrence of myoma, and pregnancy outcome were compared and analyzed. Results The largest diameter, mean numbers and mean weight of myomas removed were larger in TAM group [( 7.6 ± 3.0) cm, (5.6 ± 5.5 ), ( 308 ± 364) g, respectively]than those in LM group [(6.8±2.0) cm, (2.4 ±2.1), (140 ± 109) g, respectively; P＜0.01]. While the extension of operating time [(89±32) versus (74 ±35) min], increased blood loss [(239 ±251 ) versus ( 149 ±252) ml]and hemoglobin decrease [(22 ± 14) versus ( 15 ± 12) g/L], and longer hospital stay [(6. 4 ± 1. 6)versus (4. 4 ± 1.3) d]were observed in TAM group when compared with those in LM group ( P ＜0. 01 ).However, the residue rate of LM and TAM was 2. 6％ versus 1.4％ respectively ( P = 0. 5130 ) ; the recurrence rate of LM and TAM was 11.1％ versus 12. 3％ (P ＞ 0. 05 ) ; the pregnancy rate of LM and TAM was 49. 2％ versus 9/13 separately, the difference was not statistically significant ( P = 0. 2330 ). The number of myomas removed was the significant risk factors associated with recurrence ( OR = 2. 805, 95％CI: 1. 192 -6. 601, P = 0. 0180). No uterine rapture occurred during pregnancy. ConclusionsBoth LM and TAM are effective surgical approaches for the patients with leiomyoma who desire to pregnancy, or to retain the integrity of their uteruses. Most of uterine myoma could be treated through laparoscopy. The residue rate of LM is higher than that of TAM. However, the short term recurrence rates of LM and TAM are similar. Multiple myomas is the risk factor associated with recurrence after myomectomy. The pregnancy rates are comparable between LM and TAM groups.

ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with primary aldosteronism(PA) and the correlation with plasma aldosterone concentration. MethodsThe incidence of MS was retrospectively analyzed in 216 patients with PA from October 2008 to July 2010. Results( 1 ) The prevalence of MS was 47. 69％ in the patients with PA. As the individual components of MS, the incidence of overweight/obesity,raised blood triglyceride ( TG ) level, impaired glucose regulation ( IGR), lowered high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( HDL-C), and diabetes mellitus( DM ) was 51.13％, 22. 52％, 19.62％, 3.82％, and 2.94％, respectively. (2)The most common combination of MS components was overweight/obesity+high TG, followed by overweight/obesity+ lowered HDL-C, and overweight/obesity + DM, with the incidence of 35. 19％,15.74％, and 11.57％,respectively. (3) The incidence of overweight/obesity and IGR was raised progressively with the increasing plasma aldosterone level. (4) The prevalence of MS was significantly lower in Han patients (45.3％) than in Uygur ( 64. 0％ ), but higher than in Kazakh (42. 9％, both P＜0. 05 ). ConclusionsThe prevalence of MS in patients with PA was high. The prevalences of MS and its components were gradually rising with plasma aldosterone level.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of left ventricular structural damage in patients with primary aldosteronism(PA).MethodsA total of 438 inpatients with hypertension from January 2007 to June 2010 were screened for PA,and diagnosis was made in 213 PA patients and 225 patients with essential hypertension (EH).The left ventricular structure of all subjects was evaluated according to the results of echocardiographic measurements.Results The duration of hypertension and plasma aldosterone level in patients with PA were significantly higher (P＜ 0.01 ),while the serum potassium and plasma renin activity were significantly lower (P＜0.01 ) than those in patients with EH.The interventricular septum thickness,left ventricular end-diastolic dimension,left ventricular mass index (LVMI),left ventricular end-diastolic volume,and stroke volume in patients with PA were significantly higher than those in EH patients( P＜0.01 ) after the duration of hypertension was corrected.In patients with PA,the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was higher than that in EH patients ( 53.1％ vs 33.8 ％,x2 =16.57,P ＜ 0.01 ). Normal left ventricular geometry ( NG ),concentric remodeling ( CCR ),concentric hypertrophy( CCH),and eccentric hypertrophy (ECH) were found respectively in 24.9％,22.1％,22.1％,and 30.9％ of patients with PA.Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the seated plasma aldosterone level (β=0.43,P ＜ 0.01 ) and systolic blood pressure (β =0.45,P ＜ 0.01 ) were the main factors that influenced LVMI.The course was the main parameter that influenced relative wall thickness(β=0.011,P＜0.05 ).Conclusion The prevalence of LVH is higher in patients with PA than that in EH patients.The eccentric hypertrophy is the most common left ventricular geometrical pattern in patients with PA.

Objective To study the relationship between the clinic-pathological features and pain symptoms in patients with endometriotic cyst(EM).Methods The medical data of symptoms,laparoscopy and pathology examination in 416 patients with endometriosis were studied retrospectively.All cases were divided into two groups on the existence of ovarian endometrioma,including 338 patients in cyst group and 78 cases in non-cyst group.The relationship between clinical symptoms and location and type of endometrioma was studied.Results(1)Serum CA125 level:the level of CA125 were(61 ± 39)kU/L in cyst group(28 ± 24)kU/L in non-cyst group,which reached statistical difference(P ＜ 0.01).(2)Pathological features:among 338 cases,34.0％ of cyst were on left side(115/338),26.3％ were right side(89/338),and 39.6％ were on both side(134/338).And 95.8％(324/338)of cases were combined with the other type of endometriosis,which were 48.5％(164/338)with peritoneal endometriosis,47.3％(160/338)with deep infiltrating endometriosis(DIE).In cystic patients,the incidences of endometriosis lesion were 13.9％(47/338)on the uterine surface,38.5％(130/338)on obstruction of cul-de sac,40.5％ (137/338)on utero-sacral ligament of DIE,which were significantly higher than 5.1％,(4/78),9.0％ (7/78)and 28.2％(22/78)in noncyst group.(3)Pain symptom:the incidence and degree of dysmenorrhea and dyschezia had no statistical difference between two groups(P ＞ 0.05),and the incidence of chronic pelvic pain(CPP)of 24.6％(83/338)and dyspareunia of 29.9％(101/338)in the cyst group were significantly lower than 35.9％(28/78)and 44.9％(35/78)in non-cyst group(P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of dysmenorrheal was 85.1％(114/134)in cases with bilateral cyst,which was higher than 74.0％(151/204)in cases with single cyst.The incidence of dysmenorrheal and dyschezia in moderatesevere adhesion was 89.0％(138/155)and 18.7％(29/155),which was significantly higher than 68.8％ (126/183)and 8.2％(15/183)in mild adhesion.In the patients cyst existed with DIE,the risk of dysmenorrheal,CPP,dyspareunia,and dyschezia were obviously raised(OR respectively was 5.17,3.01,3.05,2.75).Conclusions The endometriotic cyst often co-exists with other type of endometriotic lesions.Ovarian endometrioma was associated with lesion localized on uterine surface,cul-de-sac,sacrum ligament.The risk of all the pain symptoms would be raised when the endometriotic cyst co-exit with the DIE lesions.So the treatment for DIE lesions was as same important as the endometriotic lesions in order to relieve pain symptoms and delay the relapse.

Objective:To study the functional connectivity (FC) and metabolic effective connectivity (MEC) patterns of the default mode network (DMN) in healthy male adults based on a novel hybrid PET/MR system.Methods:Fifteen healthy male adults with median age of 29 years were recruited locally in Xi′an from January to May 2019. All subjects went through PET/MR scan to get the whole brain 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET, resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) and magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) T 1 weighted imaging data. CONN18b and statistical parametric mapping (SPM) 12 softwares were used to analyze data. The voxel-wise FC and FDG metabolic data were extracted within 4 sub-networks of DMN, which included medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and bilateral lateral parietal (LP). The FC and MEC between 4 sub-networks were calculated based on merged resting-state fMRI and metabolic data, and analyzed by one-sample t test separately, with Bonferroni correction. Results:FC pathways were all significant within 4 sub-networks of DMN ( t values: 6.00-7.71, all P<0.008, Bonferroni corrected). Meanwhile, there were significant bi-directional MEC between MPFC and PCC(MPFC to PCC: t=10.03; PCC to MPFC: t=3.73, both P<0.004, Bonferroni corrected), as well as between bilateral LP (LP_L to LP_R: t=5.28; LP_R to LP_L: t=4.76, both P<0.004, Bonferroni corrected). There were significant uni-directional MEC from both MPFC and PCC to bilateral LP ( t values: 3.44-6.93, all P<0.004, Bonferroni corrected). Conclusions:Special FC and MEC patterns exist within DMN. The closely interrelated MPFC and PCC play more important roles in DMN, and they may mediate LP jointly. The novel integrated PET/MR system will bring new perspective on the organization of brain networks, which may deepen the comprehensive understanding of DMN.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and associated factors of delayed voiding among middle school students, and to provide the basis for health education. Methods: A total of 1 260 middle school students were selected from Sanmen country in Taizhou by using multi-stage stratified sampling method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the demographic characteristics, epidemiological characteristics and associated factors of delayed voiding by questionnaire. Results: The proportion of frequent delayed voiding among middle school students was 14.37%(181). The proportion among senior high school students was 15.51%(90), and among junior high school students was 13.67%(91)，no significant differences were found by grade(χ2=0.57, P=0.45). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that residential school, homework per day >2 hours, games and reduce the frequency of drinking ≥7 times/week were risk factors for delayed voiding frequently in junior high school students(OR=3.71, 1.70, 3.02,6.52，P<0.05). Higher than 2 hours of daily homework, a supportive or indifferent attitude to delayed voiding, staying in bed after waking up, drinking <0.5 L/d or ≥2.0 L/d, and reduce the frequency of drinking ≥7 times/week were risk factors for delayed voiding behavior in high school students(OR=2.23, 1.81, 2.22, 3.48, 2.69, 3.00, P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of frequent delayed voiding was high among middle school students. Attitude, environment and the quality of drinking water were the primary factors of frequent delayed voiding.
