Objective To investigate the correlation between human papillomavirus(HPV) 16/18 subgroup infection and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).Methods The infection of HPV16/18 in 39 laryngeal carcinoma specimens and 10 vocal cord polyp specimens were detected by in situ hybridization. Results The positive rate of HPV16/18 expression in 39 laryngeal carcinoma specimens was 48.7%(19/39). The positive rate of HPV16/18 subgroup expression in 10 vocal cord polyps was 0(0/10) . Statistical test showed that HPV16/18 subgroup infection was significantly higher in LSCC than that in vocal cord polyps. No statistically association was observed among the frequency of HPV16/18 subgroup infection and TNM stages, degree of differentiation or lymph nodes metastases. Conclusions HPV 16/18 subgroup infection is associated with he pathogenesis of LSCC.

BACKGROUND: There are various methods to observe and detect early angiogenesis in the process of entochondrostosis, but each holds certain deficiencies.OBJECTIVE: To explore the possibility of tetracycline and alizarin complexone as an indirect marker ofangiogenesis in the process of entochondrostosis.METHODS: New Zealand white rabbit models of bilateral radial bone defects were prepared, followed by β-tricalcium phosphate implantation, and then given the injection of tetracycline and alizarin complexone at 1 and 15 days,respectively. Samples were collected at 28 days, some of which were observed using fluorescence/light microscope after ink perfusion and hard tissue slicing, and the others were decalcified and observed using immunohistochemistry. The uniformity between lumen structures labeled with bone affinity fluorescein and vascular structures marked by immunohistochemistry and ink perfusion was compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The lumen structure labeled with bone affinity fluorescein was confirmed to be a CD34 positive vascular structure. Under the fluorescence microscope, the bone affinity fluorescein labeled vascular morphology was consistent with ink perfusion-labeled, and black ink lines could be observed in the lumen structures labeled with bone affinity fluorescein after ink perfusion. In addition, the color of the lumen labeled with fluorescein was more gorgeous,three-dimensional structure more vivid, and the vascular evolution process distinguished more easily by different fluorescein colors, exhibiting unique advantages. Therefore, it is available to detect the early angiogenesis in the process of entochondrostosis.

Objective To assess the effect of anticoagulant drugs,elastic compression stockings(ECS)and(Daflon) on the prevetion of the post-thrombotic syndrome(PTS).Methods Fifty-eight deep venous(thrombosis)(DVT) patients were divided into control group and treatment group I and II.The control group (n=15) did not take anticoagulant drugs or the time of anticoagulant drug administration was less than 1 month,and the use of(ECS) was less than 3 months.The treatment group I(n=24) took warfarin for 6 months and the ECS were used in the follow-up time;the treatment group II(n=19),besides warfarin therapy and ECS,took Daflon for 12 months.All the patients were followed up,the general conditions were assessed with clinical score,and the therapeatic results of the 3 groups were assessed.Results The rate of PTS occurrence in control group was significantly higher than that in treatment group 1 and treatment group 2.At 6 months,the clinical score of treatment groups 1 and 2 was significantly lower than that of control group.At 1 and 1.5 years after discharge,the clinical score of treatment group 2 was significantly lower than that of treatment group 1.Conclusions The long-term comprehensive and systemic therapy(including warfarin,ECS and daflon) for DVT could prevent PTS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the epidemic situation of brucellosis in Datong city, and to provide scientific evidence for making appropriate prevention and control measures. MethodsSurveillance data of human brucellosis in 7 countris and 4 districts in Datong city between 2006 and 2009 were collected, throng the national network straight quote system in an infectious diseases. Excel database was established and all data were statistically analyzed. Incidence of brucellosis in local population was analyzed. The regional distribution, time distribution,occupation, age and sex distribution were analyzed. Epidemic characteristics and trend of brucellosis in Datong city were summarized. Results A total of 5195 cases of brucellosis patients in Datong were found between 2006 and 2009, the average incidence rate was 57.51/10 million. All counties had the disease, and the onset of the disease mainly in the spring and summer. Most cases were young males. Farmer case was 81.67%(4243/5195) of the total patients. ConclusionsFrom 2006 to 2009, epidemic characteristic of Datong human brucellosis ishigh-low-high(incidence). We suggests the Department concerned to strengthen the prevention and control of the disease in some counties, focusing on spreading of disease prevention and control knowledge among farmers and increase their self-protection awareness.

Objective To monitor the quality changes of iodized salt and analyze its impact factor in Chongqing between 2001 and 2009. Methods Salt samples were collected according to the east, west, south,north and center locations in iodized salt production, wholesale and household sectors. Two units in iodized salt production and wholesale segment were sampled from north, south, east and west places and only 1 unit was sampled from the central place. Nine samples were collected every month in each place. If the place had less than 9 units, and then taken all the units. About resident household, 2 townships were sampled from north, south, east and west places, and 1 township was sampled from the central place, then 20 samples were collected from each township. Iodine content was detected by oxidation-reduction assay. The index of mean iodine, qualified rate from factories and wholesale, coverage rate and taking rate of qualified iodized salt in residents were calculated.Significance was analyzed by trend test, analysis of variance and X2 test. Results The qualified rate of iodized salt from the manufacturers was 92.9%(13/14) in 2001 and the rate was 100.0% each year from 2002 to 2009. The qualified rates of iodized salt from the wholesale were 88.7%(282/318) - 99.8%(431/432). The rates of 2001 and 2002 were lower than that of other years(X2 = 4.98 - 45.69, all P< 0.05 or < 0.01). The coverage rate and taking rate of qualified iodized salt in residents were 94.2% (11 154/11 841 ) - 98.9% ( 14 061/14 217), 83.5% (9 887/11 841 ) -95.8% (13 449/14 039), respectively. The rates showed an increasing tendency (F = 9.27, 26.39, all P < 0.05).The districts(counties) with qualified iodized salt consumption rate > 90% kept increasing. The mean iodine from the manufacturers and wholesale were 29.71 - 36.25, and 31.26 - 36.13 mg/kg, respectively. The iodine level showed a descending trend(F = 35.45, 140.59, all P < 0.01 ). The mean iodine level from the inhabitants were 28.84 - 30.98 mg/kg which remained stable (F = 3.05, P > 0.05 ). The iodine level from manufacturers, wholesale to inhabitants showed an descending trend(F = 38.46 - 671.23, all P < 0.01 ). Conclusions The surveillance results of iodized salt shows an increasing tendency in quality of iodized salt, eoverage rate and taking rate of qualified iodized salt. Factors that affect the quality of iodized salt is that the enterprise does not add iodine to salt strictly by the standard.
