Serum free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and thyroid antibodies were measured.展开更多

Whether bisphenol A exposure was associated with circulating sex hormone concentrations was studied. Univariate analysis revealed that the urinary bisphenol A concentration was negatively correlated with the serum levels of luteinizing hormone (B=-0.061, P〈0.0001) and follicle-stimulating hormone (B=-0.086, P〈0.0001) in men, and with the serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (B=-0.037, P=0.018) and sex hormone-binding globulin (B=-0.043, P=0.006) in women. However, no significant association was observed between the serum levels of urinary bisphenol A and circulating sex hormone after adjustment for the potential confounders.展开更多
目的:通过检测三阴性乳腺癌(triple-negative breast cancer,TNBC)组织中肿瘤相关中性粒细胞(tumor-associated neutrophils,TANs)浸润密度及程序性死亡配体-1(PD-L1)的表达情况来分析二者的相关性,并探究其临床意义。方法:选取141例我...目的:通过检测三阴性乳腺癌(triple-negative breast cancer,TNBC)组织中肿瘤相关中性粒细胞(tumor-associated neutrophils,TANs)浸润密度及程序性死亡配体-1(PD-L1)的表达情况来分析二者的相关性,并探究其临床意义。方法:选取141例我院三阴性乳腺癌患者组织标本,使用抗体CD66b作为TANs的标记物,通过免疫组织化学法检测TNBC肿瘤组织内TANs浸润和PD-L1表达的情况。采用Pearson积差相关或Spearman等级相关分别分析TANs浸润密度和PD-L1表达与临床病理特征的相关性,以及TNBC肿瘤组织内TANs浸润密度与PD-L1阳性表达之间的相关性;采用Kaplan-Meier曲线对TNBC患者进行生存分析。结果:TANs高浸润密度与高Ki67增殖指数、高组织学分级以及淋巴结转移均呈正相关(P<0.05)。PD-L1表达与高Ki67增殖指数及高组织学分级均呈正相关(P<0.05)。TNBC中TANs的浸润密度与PD-L1阳性表达呈正相关(P<0.05)。生存分析显示,TANs浸润密度和PD-L1表达均与TNBC患者的无进展生存期呈负相关(P<0.05)。结论:TNBC肿瘤组织内TANs浸润密度和PD-L1表达与多项临床病理特征以及不良预后密切相关,这提示TANs及PD-L1可作为TNBC预后评估的重要指标,并为探索TNBC免疫治疗潜在靶点提供研究依据。展开更多

Methods A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Beijing, China in 2016. Participants were users of a popular Chinese gay networking application and had an unknown or negative HIV status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine factors associated with HIV self-testing based on adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results Among the 5,996 MSM included in the study, 2,383 (39.7%) reported to have used HIV self-testing kits. Willingness to use an HIV self-test kit in the future was expressed by 92% of the participants. High monthly income (AOR = 1.49; CI = 1.10-2.02; P = 0.010), large number of male sex partners (≥2: AOR = 1.24; CI = 2.09-1.43; P = 0.002), sexual activity with commercial male sex partners (〉 2: AOR = 1.94; CI = 1.34 -2.82; P = 0.001), long-term drug use (AOR = 1.42; CI = 1.23-1.62; P 〈 0.001), and long-term HIV voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) attendance (AOR = 3.62; CI = 3.11-4.22; P 〈 0.001) were all associated with increased odds of HIV self-testing uptake. Conclusion The nearly 40% rate of HIV self-testing uptake among MSM in our sample was high. In addition, an over 90% willingness to use kits in the future was encouraging. HIV self-testing could be an important solution to help China achieve the global target of having 90% of all people living with HIV diagnosed by 2020.展开更多
