Objective To investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP)rs57095329 and rs6864584 of miR-146a gene and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN).Methods A total of 96 patients diagnosed with CIN were randomly collected as the CIN group,and 225 healthy individuals examined during the same period were selected as the control group using SPSS software.Genotyping of the above SNP loci was performed using the TaqMan probe method,and their correlation with CIN was analyzed.Results The allele and genotype distribution of rs57095329 showed a statistically significant differences compared to the control group,with the frequency of the allele A in the CIN group significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.001;OR=0.48,95%CI:0.32～0.70).In the dominant model,individuals carrying the G allele(A/G-G/G)had a significantly increased risk of CIN(P<0.001;OR=2.67,95%CI:1.64～4.37).In contrast,no correlation was found between the rs6864584 and the risk of CIN.Conclusion The A allele of the miR-146a gene at the rs57095329 locus may be a protective factor for CIN.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of co-infection of Talaromyces marneffei(TM)and non-tuberculous Mycobacterium(NTM)in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-negative patients.Methods Clinical data of 8 HIV-negative patients with co-infection of TM and NTM in a hospital from 2019 to 2022 were co-llected.Clinical manifestations,auxiliary examination,treatment and prognosis were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among the 8 patients,5 were females and 3 were males,with an average age of(52.25±12.31)years old.All patients presented TM and NTM disseminated infection.The major involved organs were lung(100％),lymph nodes(87.5％),and skin(75.0％).Clinical symptoms mainly included cough and expectoration(87.5％),fatigue(62.5％),joint and lumbosacral pains(62.5％),fever(50.0％),as well as skin and soft tissue abscess(50.0％),etc.Anti-interferon-γ(INF-γ)autoantibodies were detected in 4 patients and the results were positive.All 8 patients(100％)had pulmonary lesions,with chest CT mainly showing spots,patches,and striped shadows in both lungs.Among them,7 cases(87.5％)had increased and enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes,4 cases(50.0％)had pleural thickening and pleural effusion,2 cases each(25.0％for each)were accompanied by pulmonary mass shadows,bronchial stenosis,as well as increased and enlarged hilar lymph nodes.One case each(12.5％for each)had pulmonary cavity formation,bronchiectasis,and pericardial effusion.Conclusion The co-infection of TM and NTM in non-HIV patients presents disseminated infection,with multiple clinical symptoms.Chest imaging shows a wide variety of pulmonary lesions.It is prone to miss diagnosis in clinic,and the effect is not ideal after treatment for single pathogen infection.
