Objective This study aimed to explore the clinical value of human papilloma virus ( HPV) E6/E7 mRNA tests in identifying precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix-cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or more CIN2+( CINⅡand CINⅢ).Methods This study is a cross-sectional survey design , between December 2011 to December 2013.The specimens were collected from the First People′s Hospital of Huizhou and the Third People′s Hospital of Huizhou in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient and inpatient of cervical disease suspected patients , with thin-prep cytologic test ( TCT ) and histopathological results as reference , detected 345 patients of exfoliated cervical epithelial cells by using the branched DNA (b-DNA) technology to evaluate the application value of high risk HPV E 6 /E7mRNA in the clinical diagnosis of CIN.Using spss 19.0 software for data analysis.Results (1)Compared with TCT, the positive rate of E6/E7 mRNA in 325 samples were grading by cytology as follows: no intraepithelial lesion cells (NILM) 21.1%(40/190), atypical squamous cells (ASC) 38.5%(15/39 ), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions ( LSIL ) 76.9% ( 30/39 ) , atypical squamous cells can not exclude high-grade intraepithelial lesions (ASC-H) (8/10), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) 72.3%(34/47), TCT grades and HPV E6/E7 mRNA positive rate showed linear association (χ2 =67.654,P<0.01;r=0.497, P<0.01 ); and with HPV E6/E7 mRNA copy number was also relevant ( r =0.511, P <0.01).(2) Compared with pathological results , the positive rate of E6/E7 mRNA in 164 women samples were grading by pathology as follows:with NILM was 27.8%(10/36), with CIN Ⅰwas 65.9%(29/44), with CINⅡwas 80.6%(54/67), and with CINⅢwas 82.4%(14/17), pathological grades and HPV E6/E7 mRNA positive rate showed a linear correlation (χ2 =26.426, P<0.01; r=0.438, P<0.01); and the number of copies correlated with the increase of pathological grades too (r=0.543, P<0.01).(3) Screening effectiveness analysis results showed , the sensitivity of HPV E6 /E7mRNA was 84.6% while TCT was 47.7%.The sensitivity and specificity were 40.0% and 91.1% respectively when HPV E6/E7 mRNA and TCT processed as sequential detection test.The CIN2 +( CINⅡand CIN Ⅲ) best diagnostic critical point of 890.26 copies/ml,was established using receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve.The sensitivity and specificity were 58.5% and 93.7%, respectively.Conclusions The sensitivity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test is better than TCT, the specificity is high in HPV E6/E7 mRNA and TCT processed as sequential detection test.Using the optimal cut-off value of ROC curve to detect CIN 2+has high sensitivity and specificity, so the detection of HPV E6/E7 mRNA may have some clinical value in screening and risk assessment of precancerous lesions of the uterine cervix.

Objective:
To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of rs3130542 and rs4821116 in the HLA-C and UBE2L3 genes and the effect of telbivudine antiviral therapy during pregnancy in HBeAg-positive mothers through a large-sample control study, and to provide a basis for the development of individualized blocking strategies for pregnant women with a high viral load.
Methods:
The genotypes of rs3130542 and rs4821116 were determined for 312 pregnant women with a high viral load who received telbivudine antiviral therapy during the second or third trimester of pregnancy, and the dominant model, recessive model, and additive model were used to analyze the association between the genotypes of these two loci and the reduction in HBV DNA load. The Shapiro-Wilk test and the Levene test were used to evaluate data normality and homogeneity of variances, and the t-test or the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was selected based on data type and was used for the comparison of means between groups. The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was used to determine the genotype of SNPs, and the dominant model, recessive model, and additive model were used for analysis.
Results:
Mothers with an AA/AG genotype of rs3130542 in the HLA-C gene had a significantly higher probability of HBV DNA load ≥103 IU/ml at the time of delivery (

{L-End}Objective To analyze the prevalence of multi-site work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and their influencing factors among workers in the chemical pharmaceutical industry. {L-End}Methods A total of 563 workers from three chemical pharmaceutical factories in Guangzhou City were selected as the research subjects using the judgment sampling method. The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs in the past 12 months was investigated using the electronic questionnaire of Chinese Version of Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. {L-End}Results The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs in the research subjects was 30.0% (169/563). The results of multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that workers who smoked regularly/frequently and those who had their hands above shoulder level for long periods of time had a lower risk of multi-site WMSDs than those who never/occasionally smoked (all P≤0.05). Workers with a high school, secondary specialty, college degree, or above had a lower risk of multi-site WMSDs than those with a middle school education or below (all P<0.05). The longer the daily working hours, the higher the risk of multiple WMSDs (all P<0.05). Workers with regular/frequently work shifts had a lower risk of multi-site WMSDs than those with none/occasional work shifts (P<0.05). {L-End}Conclusion The prevalence of multi-site WMSDs among workers in the chemical pharmaceutical industry is relatively high. The influencing factors are individual factors, unreasonable work organization and poor ergonomics factors.

Objective:To study the expression level of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA) and its correlation with the clinical characteristics and prognosis.Methods:The clinical data of 75 patients with cHCC-CCA undergoing surgery in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2011 to December 2019, including 61 males and 14 females, with a median age of 55 years (36 to 77). Immunohistochemistry was conducted to determine the PD-L1 expression in tumor. The status of PD-L1 expression, clinicopathological data and prognosis of patients were analyzed.Results:In low-differentiated cHCC-CCA tissues, the proportion of PD-L1 expression (21.1%, 8/38) was higher than that in moderately to well-differentiated cHCC-CCA tissues (2.70%, 1/37, χ2=4.366, P=0.037). The median disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS)of PD-L1 positive patients were 12.3 and 15.1 months, respectively, lower than those of PD-L1 negative patients (14.4 and 23.3 months). The difference of DFS was statistically significant ( χ2=4.052, P=0.044). In multivariate analysis, major vascular invasion (DFS: HR=1.965, 95% CI: 1.119-3.450, P=0.019; OS: HR=1.781, 95% CI: 1.022-3.105, P=0.042) and lymph node metastasis (DFS: HR=2.451, 95% CI: 1.1033-5.814, P=0.042; OS: HR=2.652, 95% CI: 1.120-6.279, P=0.027) were identified as independent prognostic factors affecting DFS and OS. Conclusions:The proportion of PD-L1 positive is higher inthe low-differentiated cHCC-CCA tissue compared to that in moderately to well-differentiated cHCC-CCA. The major vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis are independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with cHCC-CCA.

A 54-year-old man was admitted to respiratory department with chief complaints of recurrent cough and dyspnea. Chest imaging showed multiple patchy shadows and interstitial changes. Evidence of infectious diseases was not definite, and antibiotic treatments were not effective. In the meantime, myelodysplasia syndrome was diagnosed with pancytopenia. The pathologic findings of transbronchoscopic lung biopsyshowed chronic inflammatory interstitial changes, suggesting a clinical diagnosis of organizing pneumonia. After glucocorticoids treatment, his condition aggravated. The second percutaneous lung biopsy showed the infiltration of a large number of neutrophils. Therefore, the final diagnosis of myelodysplasia syndrome with Sweet syndrome was made. Then glucocorticoids and supportive treatment were given This case may improve physicians' understanding of myelodysplasia syndrome complicated with Sweet syndrome.
