      Abstract:

      ObjectiveTo study the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) mutation at nucleotides 1653T and liver cancer. MethodsOne hundred and nineteen serum samples of HBVinfected patients were collected (All were positive HBV DNA) , 24 ,35, 29, and 31samples were from asymptomatic carriers(ASC), patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC) ,and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),respectively. Partial fragments of HBV pre C and C gene were amplified by seminested polymerase chain reaction . The PCR products were subjected to direct sequencing and the mutation at 1653T was determined by sequence analysis. HBV genotypes were detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism based on S gene PCR products. ResultsAll samples from 24 ASC were not found mutation at nucleotides 1653T ; 1(2.86%) sample from 35 CHB and 5(17.24%) from 29 LC were found mutation at 1653T; The detection rate of 1653T mutation was not significantly different between CHB and LC(χ2=2.36, P>0.05);14(45.16%) samples were found mutation at 1653T in HCC,the mutation at 1653T in HCC was significantly higher than that of LC(χ2=5.40,P<0.05). Of 119 serum samples of HBV, 2 of 51 genotype B and 18 of 58 genotype C were detected mutation at nucleotides 1653T , the other 10 samples couldn’t be determined genotype .The difference in mutation at 1653T between genotype C and B was significant (χ2=11.57, P<0.01).ConclusionHBV 1653T mutation is correlated with HCC, and is more prone to occur in genotype C infection; 1653T mutation can be as predictive risk factors for hepatocarcinogenesis.

      目的分析血站采血护士职业暴露的危险因素,并探讨有效的防护措施。方法对血站采血护士职业暴露的原因、方式、危险程度及防护方法进行分析。结果采血时环境拥挤,互相碰撞;长时间工作或一人同时为2名献血者采血;操作中双手回套针头,护针帽脱落,传递过程中被带血针头刺伤及采集小样针头放置不当,易导致采血护士针刺伤。2006年未设置防刺破试管座前,采血护士针刺伤发生率为80%;采用不锈钢试管座后未再发生针刺伤。结论采血护士易受职业暴露危险因素的影响,针刺伤是其职业暴露的主要方式。应加强采血护士的职业防护。

      Abstract:

      马尔尼菲青霉菌病是由马尔尼菲青霉菌引起的一种系统性真菌病。过去认为该病少见,但随着艾滋病(获得性免疫缺陷综合征,AIDS)患者人数的增加,其已经成为AIDS流行区患者的常见机会性真菌感染性疾病之一。即使有效的抗真菌治疗,AIDS合并马尔尼菲青霉菌病的病死率仍高达20%[1]。因此,在临床上应该引起足够的重视,尽早发现并及时进行有效的抗真菌治疗,这是降低该病病死率的主要方法。
