Objective To discuss about the relationship between the occurrence of the uterine cervix cancer and the risk factors.MethodsAmong the patients we collected,92 patients were diagnosed to have the cervical cancer,63 patients were diagnosed as CINⅢ (the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia,CIN),and 252 patients belonged to the control group.All patients had not been cured before.We used the questionnaire to investigate them about the dietary habit and other information.Through using different statistical Methods ,we explored the relationship between the cervical cancer and the potential factors.ResultsWe found out that many factors contributed to the happening of the cervical cancer,such as gynecopathy(χ2=19.31,P<0.01),the first time of the menses(F=11.62,P<0.01),the first time of the sex life(F=25.76,P<0.01),the first time of the parturition (F=28.02,P<0.01),the times of the pregnancy and the parturition(F1=13.98,P1<0.01;F2=4.78,P2<0.01),the culture degree(χ2=10.70,P<0.05),the infection of HPV(χ2=179.95,P<0.01),the level of the folic acid (F=3.39,P<0.05) and so on.The result of the logistic regression analysis showed that keeping the habit of drinking tea(OR=0.321,β=-1.136,P<0.05),paying attention to the sanitation of the sex life(OR=0.387,β=-0.950,P<0.05),putting off the first time of the sex life(OR=0.551,β=-0.596,P<0.05),and the higher level of the folic acid (OR=0.502,β=-0.688,P<0.05) were the protective factors tothe occurrence of the uterine cervix cancer.Meanwhile,the infection of the HPV(OR=27.215,β=3.304,P<0.01),many times of the parturition(OR=1.846,β=0.613,P<0.05) and the passive smoking (OR=1.673,β=0.515,P<0.05) were the risk factors.ConclusionsWith the higher level of the folic acid,the less possibility you will get the cervical cancer.There exists many measures to prevent the happening of the cervical cancer,like keeping the healthy sex life,keeping far away from the passive smoking,not to give birth too early or too many and preventing being infected the HPV.What's more,having the good habit of drinking tea and paying attention to the supplement of the folic acid and Vitamin B12 may be the effective method to prevent the occurrence of the cervical cancer.

Objective To describe CT and MRI findings of the global choroidal hemangioma, and to investigate their value in the diagnosis and differentiation. Methods Nine choroidal hemangioma patients proven by surgical pathology( n =3)or clinic information ( n =6) were analyzed. CT scan was performed in 6 cases and MRI in 4 cases. All cases were examined by ultrasound and 3 with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA). Results Two cases showed slight or crescent like thickening and iso density with respect to the global wall on CT scan. 5 cases on enhanced CT showed a flat or shuttle shaped homogeneous mass with marked enhancement. MRI ( n =3) revealed high signal intensity on T 1WI and low signal intensity on T 2WI with respect to the vitreous. 1 small tumor was found clearly by postcontrast fat suppressed T 1WI. Ultrasound showed homogeneous mass ( n =1) and inhomogeneous mass ( n =8), with retinal detachment in all cases. Conclusion CT + MRI + ultrasound can get most of the diagnostic imaging data for choroidal hemangioma. MRI was superior to CT and ultrasound in the diagnosis of choroidal hemangioma and differential diagnosis from other malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the changeof plasmadiponectin and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretipeptide (NT-proBNP) levelin the patientwith differentypeof atrial fibrillation (Af) .MethodTwo hundred and thirty-fouresearch sub-jectwere divided into 4 group:sinurhythm group (n= 70) ,paroxysmal Af group (n=52) ,permanenAf group (n=62) and control group (n=50) .The plasmadiponectin level wameasured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbenassay (ELISA) and the NT-proBNP level wadetected by chemiluminescence .4 groupwere comparable in age ,gende,body masindex and basidisea-se.ResultThe NT-proBNP level in the paroxysmal Af group and the permanenAf group wasignificantly increased compared with the sinurhythm group and the control group ,the difference wastatistically significan(P<0 .05) ,buthe difference be-tween the sinurhythm group and the control group had no statistical significance (P>0 .05) .The NT-proBNP level in the perma-nenAf group wasignificantly increased compared with the paroxysmal Af group (P<0 .05) .Compared with control group ,the adiponectin level in the sinurhythm group wasignificantly decreased (P<0 .05) ,which in the paroxysmal Af group and the per-manenAf group wasignificantly increased compared with the sinurhythm group and the control group ,the difference wastatis-tically significan(P<0 .05) .The adiponectin level in the permanenAf group wasignificantly increased compared with the parox-ysmal Af group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The adiponectin level could be related with the repeated occurrence of permanen Af .

The attenuated Chinese equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) vaccine is the first lentiviral vaccine that provides solid protective immunities to vaccinated horses. To investigate properties of EIAV vaccine, especially the relationship between its replication and the immunity, viral plasma loads of an EIAV vaccine strain EIAVFDDV in immune suppressed horses were detected. Three horses, which were immunized with EIAVFDDV for 16 months, were treated with dexamethasone for 14 days to suppress their immunities. Reduced immune response in these animals was confirmed by significantly declined lymphocyte proliferation rate detected after 10 days of the drug treatment. The plasma viral loads of EIAVFDDV, which was indicated by the genomic RNA copy numbers, in horses before and after the treatment of dexamethasone were monitored by real time RT-PCR. Results revealed that the viral plasma loads in two of three immune-suppressed horses were kept a steady low level around 103~ 104 copies/ml. The load was increased by 10 folds in the third horse, but was still among the standard levels for EIAVFDDV vaccinated horses. As a positive control, the viral copy number of an asymptomatic carrier of EIAV virulent strain EIAVLiao was jumped nearly 25 000-fold higher after being treated with dexamethasone. The typical clinical symptoms of EIA, characterized by febrile episodes and thrombocytopenia, were also appeared in this horse. These results clearly indicate that it is the unique biological feature of the attenuated EIAV vaccine, but not the immunity, resulted in EIAVFDDV remaining in low levels in the body harmlessly. In addition, the steady low level of viremia and the inability to cause clinical symptoms of EIAVFDDV in immune-suppressed hosts further demonstrated the safety of attenuated Chinese EIAV vaccines. The data provide a new sight for studies on the immunity to lentiviruses.
