Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is a greater occurrence of dysfunctional labor or a higher incidence of cesarean delivery for failure to progress in women who have undergone a successful version for breech presentation. METHODS: Using a retrospective case-control design, 76 women who had undergone a successful version from January 1988 through July 1993 were identified and their medical records reviewed. The control population was matched for delivery date, parity, and gestational age. RESULTS: There was no difference in the cesarean delivery rates for failure to progress between women undergoing successful version (6%) and the control population (6%). The incidence of dysfunctional labor between the groups did not differ significantly. Dysfunctional labor requiring oxytocin augmentation occurred in 29.6% of women who had undergone a version and in 24.2% of the control population (P = .6530). CONCLUSION: There is no significant increase in the cesarean delivery rate in women undergoing a version for breech presentation.

B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and hepatitis C virus infection: a systematic review.

A high prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) has been reported in some, but not all, studies, and the association showed a strong regional variation. We conducted a systematic review of the prevalence of HCV infection in case series of B-NHL and, when an appropriate control group was available, of the odds ratio of B-NHL associated with HCV infection. A high HCV prevalence in B-NHL was found in southern and eastern Europe, Japan and the southern United States, but not in central and northern Europe, Canada, northern United States, or a few Asian countries. Possible sources of heterogeneity and bias are discussed. The odds ratio of B-NHL for HCV infection was relatively weak, ranging from 2 to 4 in most studies. Thus, even if the observed association were causal, the percentage of cases of B-NHL attributable to HCV infection would be relatively low (10%) also in countries with a high prevalence of HCV infection in the general population, and extremely low in other countries. This may explain apparent inconsistencies between studies. Potential mechanisms of action are also discussed.

Association between war and cervical cancer among Vietnamese women.

Decades ago, cervical cancer was the leading form of cancer among women in both North Vietnam and South Vietnam. Currently, cervical cancer rates are considerably lower in the northern region of the country. We performed a case-control study to measure factors associated with the development of cervical cancer among Vietnamese women. Questionnaire-based interviews were conducted with 202 women in southern Vietnam and 97 women in northern Vietnam. Case subjects were women hospitalized with cervical cancer. Control subjects were women hospitalized with extrauterine neoplasms. Data were analyzed using logistic regression, and odds ratios for the development of invasive cervical cancer were measured. The development of invasive cervical cancer was significantly associated with military service by husbands during the Second Indochinese War and with parity status. Odds ratio for the development of cervical cancer among southern Vietnamese women whose husbands had served in the armed forces was 2.6 (95% CI = 1.2-5.5). Odds ratio for the development of cervical cancer among northern women whose husbands had served in the armed forces was 3.9 (95% CI = 1.5-10.4) if their husbands had been stationed in South Vietnam during the war years. Northern women whose husbands had served in the military experienced no significant increase in cervical cancer risk if their husbands had been stationed in North Vietnam during the war years. Geographic and temporal variation in cervical cancer rates among Vietnamese women was associated with the movement of soldiers. These findings may be useful for cervical cancer prevention efforts in Vietnam and in other countries.

Positive associations of polymorphisms in the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 8 gene (GRM8) with schizophrenia.

The glutamatergic dysfunction has been implicated in pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The Group III metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGluR4), 6, 7, and 8 are thought to modulate glutamatergic transmission in the brain by inhibiting glutamate release at the synapse. We tested association of schizophrenia with GRM8 using 22 single nucleofide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the average intervals of 40.3 kb in the GRM8 region in 100 case-control pairs for the SNPs. Although we observed significant associations of schizophrenia with two SNPs, SNP18 (rs2237748, allele: P = 0.0279; genotype: P = 0.0124) and SNP19 (rs2299472, allele: P = 0.0302; genotype: P = 0.0127), none of two SNPs showed significant association with disease after Bonferroni correction. Both SNP18 and SNP19 were included in a large region (>330 kb) in which SNPs are in linkage disequilibrium (LD) at the 3' region of GRM8. We also tested haplotype association of schizophrenia with constructed haplotypes of the SNPs in LD. Significant associations were detected for the combinations of SNP5-SNP6 (chi(2) = 18.12, df = 3, P = 0.0004, P corr = 0.0924 with Bonferroni correction), SNP4-SNP5-SNP6 (chi(2) = 27.50, df = 7, P = 0.0075, P corr = 0.015 with Bonferroni correction), and SNP5-SNP6-SNP7 (chi(2) = 23.92, df = 7, P = 0.0011, P corr = 0.0022 with Bonferroni correction). Thus, we conclude that at least one susceptibility locus for schizophrenia is located within the GRM8 region in Japanese.
