Objective To analyze the characteristics of 5 152 cases HPV genotyping in Guangxi province ,which will be benefit for the control of HPV infection and provid experimental evidence for clinical treatment .Methods Statistically analyze the positive detection rate of all the HPV subtypes ,the differences in the positive rate between people of different genders and ages .Results The total positive rate was 37 .46% (1 930/5 152) .The subtypes with the top seven positive rates were HPV16 (5 .90% ) ,HPV52 (5 .36% ) ,HPV58(4 .04% ) ,HPV6(3 .40% ) ,HPV53(2 .66% ) ,HPV11(2 .43% ) ,HPV18(2 .19% ) ,which were mainly high‐risk subtypes .The total positive rate of male patients was 87 .71% ,while female patients was 34 .45% ,the total positive rate of male pa‐tiets was higher than women .For the positive rate of HPV6 ,HPV11 and HPV58 ,male patients were higher than women ,while for HPV52 female patients was higher than men(P<0 .05) .High‐risk HPV6 ,HPV11 ,HPV42 ,HPV43 infection were characterized by the tendency of younger patients ,the differences were statistically significant(P<0 .05) ,the positive infection rate of patients equal or less than 20 years old(75 .51% ) was higher than other age groups .Conclusion HPV infection rates are very high in some re‐gions of Guangxi ,and attention should be paid to male HPV infection .The subtypes with the top seven positive infection rate are mainly high‐risk subtypes .Low‐risk subtypes such as HPV6 ,11 ,42 ,43 are characterized by the tendency of younger patients .The distribution of HPV infection was affected by region ,gender and age .The investigation of HPV subtypes in Guangxi and do HPV screening in different age groups could help the prevention of cervical cancer and understanding HPV infection outcome .

Objective To explore the effects and possible mechanism of histone deacetylase inhibitor SAHA on the interstitial fibrosis induced by diabetes.Methods The SD rats were divided into three groups:control group (Con,n=9),diabetes mellitus (DM) group (n=9) and SAHA treatment group (n=9).The diabetic rat model was established by injecting streptozotocin (STZ) through tail vein.After 8 weeks,the SAHA treatment group rats were fed with a SAHA solution (25 mg· kg-1 · d-1) by gastric gavage.After 16 weeks,all rats were sacrificed to detect relevant biochemical parameters,and observe the changes of pathomorphology in kidney.In addition,immunohistochemistry staining and Western blotting were employed to detect the protein expressions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1),Smad2,Smad3,p-Smad2,p-Smad3,Smad7,collagen-Ⅰ and collagen-Ⅲ,respectively.Results Compared with Con group,the levels of blood glucose (BG),urinary trace albumin/urinary creatinine (ACR),triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in the diabetic group were all increased significantly (all P < 0.05),the protein expressions of TGF-β1,p-Smad2,p-Smad3,collagen-Ⅰ and collagen-Ⅲ in kidney were all increased in diabetic group (all P < 0.05),and the expression of Smad7 was significantly reduced (P < 0.05).Compared with DM group,the levels of ACR was reduced,the renal fibrosis was alleviated,the protein expressions of TGF-β1,p-Smad2,p-Smad3,collagen-Ⅰ and collagen-Ⅲ in SAHA group were all decreased (all P < 0.05),and the expression of Smad7 was increased significantly (P < 0.05).Conclusion SAHA may restore the protein level of Smad7 by enhancing protein stability,then promote the moderate transduction of TGF-β1/Smads signaling pathway,which reduce the fibrosis of renal tubules in diabetic rats.

Objective:To investigate the reasonable dosage of heparin anticoagulation scheme during plasma adsorption (PA) therapy for liver failure.Methods:Patients with liver failure treated with PA therapy were retrospectively collected and divided according to the anticoagulation scheme into the first-dose heparin anticoagulation group and the first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group. Clinical data and laboratory test results were compared before and after treatment between the two groups. Paired t-tests were used for comparison within the normally distributed groups. An independent two-sample t-test was used for inter group comparison. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for measurement data that did not conform to a normal distribution. Fisher's exact test was used to compare the count data between groups. Results:There were 138 cases with liver failure treated with PA therapy from October 2017 to September 2020. Among them, 83 and 55 cases were in the first-dose heparin anticoagulation and first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group, respectively. Age, gender, and laboratory data before treatment were comparable between the two groups. PA treatment was successfully completed in both groups of patient, and there was no statistically significant difference in the determination of coagulation level with plasma separators ( Z=-0.15, P=0.216). There were different degrees of bleeding complications in both groups. In the first-dose heparin anticoagulation group, there were two cases (2.4%) of central venous catheter bleeding and one case (1.2%) of epistaxis. In the first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group, there were five cases (9.1%) of central venous catheter bleeding, two cases (3.6%) of skin bleeding, one case (1.8%) of epistaxis, and one case (1.8%) of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The incidence of bleeding complications was lower in the first-dose of heparin anticoagulation than first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The activated partial thromboplastin time of the two groups was prolonged after therapy withdrawal than with therapy, and the difference was statistically significant (first-dose heparin anticoagulation group: t=3.850, P=0.022; first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group: t=6.733, P=0.007). The activated partial thromboplastin time was prolonged in patients with first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation than first-dose heparin anticoagulation group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.025). The total bilirubin of the two groups before and after PA was significantly changed (the first-dose heparin anticoagulation group: Z=-2.455, P=0.017; the first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group: Z=-2.307, P=0.024), and there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.412). There was no statistically significant difference in platelet changes before and after PA therapy between the two groups (the first dose of heparin anticoagulation group: Z=-0.529, P=0.480; the first-dose plus maintenance heparin anticoagulation group: Z=-0.276, P=0.362). Conclusion:Anticoagulation scheme without maintenance medication is feasible with prothrombin activity before ≤20-40%, activated partial thromboplastin time of ≤87 s (2 times the upper normal value), platelet count before treatment (excluding contraindications to heparin) ≥50×10 9/L, and the first dose of heparin administration of 0.2 mg/kg during PA therapy in patients with liver failure.
