Objective To investigate high risk factors associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in married women aged 25 to 54 years in Beijing. Methods From Mar. 2007 to Sep.2008, 6339 married women at age of 25 to 54 years were selected randomly by cross sectional survey in a total of 137 communities of 12 districts or counties in Beijing. The interview was carried out with unified questionnaires, gynecological examination. The cervical smear cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection of cervical secretion were detected. Women with abnormal cervical cytology underwent colposcopy and cervical biopsy. Odd ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of related high risk factors with CIN were studied by logistic regression analysis. Results Among 6339 women, the prevalence rate of CIN including 4 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) was 5. 90% (374/6339). By multinomial regression analysis, HR-HPV infection (95% CI: 9. 953 - 15.811 ), History of trichomonas vaginitis (95 % CI: 1. 046 -2. 104), oral contraceptives (95% CI: 1. 087 - 1. 806), age less than 45 years old ( 95% CI: 1. 069 -1. 828) were related with CIN. Conclusion Infection rate of HR-HPV is an independent risk factor of CIN, however, the history of trichomonas vaginitis, oral contraceptives and age less than 45 years old are related risk factors of CIN.

Objective To investigate prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) among the married women aged 25-54 years in Beijing.Methods With method of cross sectional survey,6339 married women at age of 25 to 54 years were selected randomly in 137 communities of 12 districts or counties in Beijing from March 2007 to September 2008.The cervical smear cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of cervical secretion were detected.Women with abnormal cervical cytology were underwent colposcopy and cervical biopsy.Results Among 6339 women,9.58% (607/6339) cases had abnormal cytological results,the colposcopy and cervical biopsy showed the rate of CIN was 5.84% (370/6339) in total selected women and 60.96% (370/607) in women with abnormal cervical cytology,including 4.65% (295/6339) in CIN Ⅰ,0.80% (51/6339) in CIN Ⅱ,0.38% (24/6339) in CIN Ⅲ; 0.06% (4/6339)in early invasive carcinoma (SCC).Based on geographical distribution,the rate of cervical lesions was 4.46% (42/942) in urban areas,6.27% (188/3000) in suburbs and 6.01% (144/ 2397) in outer suburbs (P > 0.05).Conclusion It was found that the incidence of CIN was 5.84% in married women aged 25-54 years in Beijing,which did not show significant prevalence in urban,suburb and outer suburbs region.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) account for a large proportion in tumor stroma, and can be divided into M1 type (anti-tumoral) and M2 type (pro-tumoral). Recently, many experimental and clinical studies have shown that M2-type TAMs are significantly correlated with tumor stage, tumor cell differentiation, depth of invasion, angiogenesis, lymph node metastasis and therapeutic drug resistance, which eventually affects the prognosis of tumor patients. Targeted TAMs therapy is expected to benefit cancer patients. This paper reviews the recent research of M2-type TAMs in lung cancer.

BACKGROUNDPulmonary carcinosarcoma (PCS) is a rare pulmonary mixed malignant tumor. The aim of this study is to explore the clinical characteristics and prognosis of 48 patients with PCS.

METHODSThe data of 48 patients with PCS from 1986 to 2004 were analysed retrospectively. Then their prognostic factors were analysed statistically.

RESULTSPCS occurred usually in males over 50 years old, often in the right lungs. The clinical and radiographic characteristics of PCS were similar to primary non-small cell lung cancer. Its diagnosis was mainly verified by postoperative pathologic findings and immunohistochemical staining. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rate was 77.1%, 49.5% and 22.7% respectively. The multivariate prognosis analysis and Chi-square test showed that TNM stage was an independent prognostic factor.

CONCLUSIONSTNM stage is an independent prognostic factor for PCS, so it is necessary to operate surgically in early stage to prolong the survival time of patients.

Objective To investigate high risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV)prevalence among married women in Beijing and to study the high risk flactors.nethods During March 2007 to September 2008.a total of 6185 married women sampled from 137 communities in 12 districts were screened bv HR-HPV DNA test and cytogical test.The interview was carried out with unified questionnaires.The databage was set up and twice entered in EpiDam 3.0.After checked up,the data were analyzed in SPSS 15.0.Results (1) The HR-HPV infection rate was 9.89%.The HR-HPV infection rate of the city zone,the suburb and the exurb were 9.34%,10.51% and 9.51% (P>0.05).The HR-HPV infection rate of the native and the oudander were 9.53%,11.30% (P<0.05).(2) The age distribution of HR-HPV infection was that the rate was around 10% among 25 to 44 age groups,which was the highest(11.21%) in 30 to 34 age group;then the rate was descended as the age raising,the rate of 50 to 54 age group was the lowest(7.78%).(3) Multiple logistic regression showed that the related risk factors of HR-HPV infection mainly included 1000 RMB and above of family income per person per month.possessing more than 1 sexual partner of her husband,outlander and hish levels of education.(4) The prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN)in HR-HPV positive group wag significantly higher than that in HR-HPV negative group(29.76% vs 3.32%,P<0.01).Conclusions(1)The HR-HPV infection rate among aged 25 to 54 years was 9.9% and there was no significant difference in area distribution.(2)The hish risk population which should strengthen screening was the married bearing-age women with high level of family income,outlander,high levels of education and her husband possessing more than 1 sexual partner.(3)HR-HPV infection is the main risk factor for CIN and cervical cancer.while does not provide a causal relationship with them.The high risk population should be checked regularly to understand the development of HR-HPV infection and CIN incidence.

Recently, returning straw to the fields has been proved as a direct and effective method to tackle soil nutrient loss and agricultural pollution. Meanwhile, the slow decomposition of straw may harm the growth of the next crop. This study aimed to determine the effects of rumen microorganisms (RMs) on straw decomposition, bacterial microbial community structure, soil properties, and soil enzyme activity. The results showed that RMs significantly enhanced the degradation rate of straw in the soil, reaching 39.52%, which was 41.37% higher than that of the control on the 30th day after straw return. After 30 d, straw degradation showed a significant slower trend in both the control and the experimental groups. According to the soil physicochemical parameters, the application of rumen fluid expedited soil matter transformation and nutrient buildup, and increased the urease, sucrase, and cellulase activity by 10%‒20%. The qualitative analysis of straw showed that the hydroxyl functional group structure of cellulose in straw was greatly damaged after the application of rumen fluid. The analysis of soil microbial community structure revealed that the addition of rumen fluid led to the proliferation of Actinobacteria with strong cellulose degradation ability, which was the main reason for the accelerated straw decomposition. Our study highlights that returning rice straw to the fields with rumen fluid inoculation can be used as an effective measure to enhance the biological value of recycled rice straw, proposing a viable solution to the problem of sluggish straw decomposition.

ObjectiveTo explore the variation rules and health risks of trihalomethane in regional drinking water， and to provide evidence for the innovative water processing technology and the optimization of drinking water quality. MethodsBased on regional drinking water sanitation monitoring， non-parametric rank sum test was used to analyze the effects of residual trihalomethane production in different periods and with disinfection methods. The United States environmental protection agency （USEPA） classic "four-step" health risk assessment model was used to evaluate the carcinogenic risk and non-carcinogenic risk of trihalomethane through drinking water exposure. ResultsThe yield of trichloromethane in wet season was 6.3 μg·L^-1， which was higher than that in dry season. Compared with chlorination pretreatment， ozone pretreatment reduced the content of bromomethane dichloromethane. Compared to liquid chlorine disinfection， sodium hypochlorite treatment incresed the levels of trichloromethane and bromomethane chloride. Although the total carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of trihalomethane in drinking water in the region were at safe levels， they were above the acceptable limits occasionally. The highest carcinogenic risk of trihalomethane were dichlorobromomethane and chlorodibromomethane，and the highest non-carcinogenic risk was trichloromethane. The health risk of children was 1.2 times higher than that for adults. ConclusionThe production of residual trihalomethane in drinking water in this area is relatively low， which is less harmful to the health of adults and children. Monitoring， including other disinfection byproducts， should continue and appropriate disinfection techniques for drinking water should be explored.
