RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus infection is an important factor associated with cervical cancer (CC) development. The prevalence and genotype distribution vary greatly worldwide. Examining local epidemiological data constitutes an important step towards the development of vaccines to prevent CC. In this work, we studied the prevalence of HPV genotypes in women from Western Mexico with the COBAS 4800 and/or Linear Array Genotyping Test (LA). METHODS: The samples analysed in this study represent a population from Western Mexico, which includes six different states. Our approach was first to test for HPV in cervical samples from women who attended their health clinic for routine gynaecological studies (open-population, n = 3000) by utilizing COBAS 4800. Afterwards, 300 of the HPV-positive samples were randomly selected to be genotyped with LA; finally, we genotyped samples from women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN 1, n = 71) and CC (n = 96) with LA. Sociodemographic data of the diverse groups were also compared. RESULTS: The overall HPV prevalence among the open-population of women as determined by COBAS 4800 was 12.1% (n = 364/3000). Among the HPV-positive samples, single infections (SI) with HPV16 were detected in 12.4% (n = 45/364), SI with HPV18 were detected in 1.4%, and infection with at least one of the genotypes included in the high-risk HPV pool was detected in 74.5% of the cases. LA analysis of the samples showed that in addition to HPV genotypes 16 and 18, there was a high prevalence of HPV genotypes 59, 66, 52, 51, 39 and 56 in women from Western Mexico. With respect to the sociodemographic data, we found statistically significant differences in the number of pregnancies, the use of hormonal contraceptives and tobacco intake. CONCLUSIONS: Our data indicate that there is a high prevalence of HPV genotypes which are not covered by the vaccines currently available in Mexico; therefore, it is necessary to include HPVs 59, 66, 51, 39 and 56 in the design of future vaccines to reduce the risk of CC development. It is also essential to emphasize that the use of hormonal contraceptives and tobacco smoking are risk factors for CC development in addition to the presence of HPV.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Approximately 70% of female breast cancer patients have a body mass index (BMI) >25. In obesity, adipose tissue secretes additional resistin, which prompts a proinflammatory effect through its action on adenylate cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1). Several studies have associated the RETN gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1862513 (-420C

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main etiological agent of cervical cancer, the third most common cancer among women globally and the second most frequent in Mexico. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV genotypes is associated with premalignant lesions and cervical cancer development. HPVs considered as low risk or not yet classified, are often found in coinfection with different HPV genotypes. Indeed, HPV62 is one of the most prevalent HPV detected in some countries, but there is limited information about its prevalence in other regions and there are no HPV62 variants currently described. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of HPV62 in cervical samples from Mexican women and to identify mutations in the L1, E6 and E7 genes, which have never been reported in our population. METHODS: HPV screening was performed by Cobas HPV Test in women who attended prevention health programs and dysplasia clinics. All HPV positive samples (n = 491) and 87 additional cervical cancer samples were then genotyped with Linear Array HPV Genotyping test. Some samples were selected to corroborate genotyping by Next-Generation sequencing. On the other hand, nucleotide changes in L1, E6 and E7 genes were determined using PCR, Sanger sequencing and analysis with the CLC-MainWorkbench 7.6.1 software. L1 protein structure was predicted with the I-TASSER server. RESULTS: Using Linear Array, HPV62 prevalence was 7.6% in general population, 8% in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) samples and 4.6% in cervical samples. The presence of HPV62 was confirmed with Next-Generation sequencing. Regarding L1 gene, novel sequence variations were detected, but they did not alter the tertiary structure of the protein. Moreover, several nucleotide substitutions were found in E6 and E7 genes compared to reference HPV62 genomic sequence. Specifically, three non-synonymous sequence variations were detected, two in E6 and one in E7. CONCLUSIONS: HPV62 is a frequent HPV genotype found mainly in general population and in women with CIN1, and in 90.5% of the cases it was found in coinfection with other HPVs. Novel nucleotide changes in its L1, E6 and E7 genes were detected, some of them lead to changes in the protein sequence.

RESUMEN

In order to determine the frequency of respiratory symptoms among residents from surgical specialties dures exposed to the electrocautery smoke, a cross-sectional study was conducted in February 2012. 50 third-year residents from different surgical specialties coming from a third-level hospital belonging to the Institute of Security and Social Services of the State Workers in Jalisco, Mexico, were included. The subject selection was non-probabilistic. A questionnaire on respiratory symptoms developed in Cuba was used for data collection. The most common symptoms were sensation of a lump in the throat (58%), and a sore throat (22%). The specialty with the highest rate of exposure was neurosurgery (24.1 min/surgical procedure). All, the physicians from this specialty had respiratory symptoms. We conclude that the cauterization smoke may be considered a risk for developing respiratory symptoms among physicians with surgical specialties.

RESUMEN

Con el objetivo de determinar la frecuencia de síntomas respiratorios entre los residentes de especialidades quirúrgicas expuestos al humo del electrocauterio, se realizó un estudio transversal durante el mes de febrero de 2012. Se incluyeron 50 médicos residentes del tercer año, de diferentes especialidades quirúrgicas, de un hospital de tercer nivel perteneciente al Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado ubicado en Jalisco, México. La selección de sujetos fue no probabilística. Para la recolección de datos, se empleó el cuestionario de síntomas respiratorios desarrollado en Cuba. Los síntomas más comunes fueron sensación de cuerpo extraño (58%) y ardor faríngeo (22%). La especialidad con mayor índice de exposición fue la de neurocirugía (24,1 min/acto quirúrgico). La totalidad de los médicos de esta especialidad tuvieron algún síntoma respiratorio. Se concluye que la inhalación del humo del cauterio puede constituir un riesgo para desarrollar síntomas respiratorios entre los médicos de especialidades quirúrgicas.

RESUMEN

Amniotic band sequence (ABS) is a group malformation that mainly affects limbs; clinically, constriction rings and lymphedema of the fingers, arms and legs, acrosyndactyly and pseudosyndactyly are observed; also there is congenital amputation of limbs due to distal swelling. Less frequently, craniofacial and trunk involvement are reported in some patients. Etiology is still unknown and most cases are isolated. In this report we present the case of a 45-day-old male with diagnosis of SBA and bilateral choanal atresia as attached finding, and review possible causes of SBA and associated alterations.

RESUMEN

La secuencia de bridas amnióticas (SBA) es un grupo de malformaciones de tipo disruptivo que afecta principalmente las extremidades; clínicamente, se observan anillos de constricción y linfedema en dedos, brazos y piernas; pseudosindactilias y acrosindactilias; además, existe amputación congénita de las extremidades por tumefacción distal; en algunos pacientes se han comunicado, con menor frecuencia, alteraciones craneofaciales y del tronco. La etiología es aún desconocida y la mayoría de los casos son aislados. En este informe presentamos el caso de un paciente masculino, de 45 días de nacido, con diagnóstico de SBA y atresia bilateral de coanas como hallazgo adjunto; se revisan las posibles causas del SBA y las alteraciones asociadas.
