Article Synopsis
- * Pregnant women from Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital were monitored across all trimesters to measure metal and thyroid hormone levels, using statistical methods to analyze relationships and impacts on GDM risk.
- * Results indicated that higher levels of Mg and Cu are linked to increased GDM risk, while FT4 levels are negatively associated; thyroid hormones may mediate the effect of certain metals on GDM development.
Objective: We here evaluated the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and vaginal infections, including bacterial vaginosis (BV), trichomonas vaginalis (TV), and vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).
Methods: A total of 4,449 women were enrolled in this study and given gynecological examinations. HPV genotyping and viral load determination were performed using a real-time PCR.
Objective: In this study we determined the frequency of the most prevalent human papillomavirus (HPV) types in China and evaluated the association between viral loads of different oncogenic HPV types and the severity of disease.
Methods: We enrolled 15,518 women for this study and 3199 of them (20.61%) were identified as positive by a PCR assay, that can simultaneously quantify and genotype HPV.
