The epidemiology of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus infection among college students who are not US/Canadian born in Houston

Introduction. A vast majority of studies conducted in both developed and developing nations have focused on the epidemiology of HBV (Hepatitis B virus) and HCV (Hepatitis C virus) in high-risk populations; low-risk populations have been neglected. Recently Hwang et al conducted a unique large cross-sectional study in American university students that focused on cosmetic procedures and drug use for acquiring these infections among a low-risk young adult population In Houston. ^ Methods. This study is a secondary data analysis of the cross-sectional study conducted by Hwang et al. Data for this anonymous study were collected from 7,960 college students, among whom were the 2,561 non US/Canadian born students included in this study. All students completed a self-administered questionnaire and provided a blood sample. The epidemiology of HBV/HCV and risk factors for acquiring HBV/HCV infection was studied by comparing those with HBV/HCV infection versus those without. Both univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the data. ^ Results. Overall prevalence of HBV and HCV infections were 22% and 0.8% respectively. By multivariable analysis, the factors that were independently associated with increased prevalence of HBV infection were increasing age per year (OR=1.06, 95% C.I=1.04-1.08), Black or Asian race (OR=6.21, 95% C.I=3.14-12.27), history of household contact with hepatitis (OR=1.87, 95% C.I=1.15-3.05), and having sexual partner with hepatitis (OR=5.20, 95% C.I=1.5-18.00). For HCV these factors included increasing age per year (OR= 1.08, 95% C.I=1.03-1.14), history of blood transfusion prior to 1991 (OR=25.45, 95% C.I=7.58-85.40), and Injection drug use. (OR=78.15, 95% C.I=12.19-500.85). Cosmetic procedures like tattooing were not significant risk factors for either HBV or HCV infection. ^ Conclusions. In a low-risk adult foreign born population, cosmetic procedures are not significant risk factors for HBV or HCV infection. The prevention strategies of these infections in this population should focus on safe sexual practices/abstinence and HBV vaccination should be provided to adolescents and sexually active adults. ^

Reduced fetal growth rate and increased risk of death from ischaemic heart disease: cohort study of 15 000 Swedish men and women born 1915-29

Objective: To establish whether fetal growth rate (as distinct from size at birth) is associated with mortality from ischaemic heart disease.

Mother to child transmission of hepatitis C virus: prospective study of risk factors and timing of infection in children born to women seronegative for HIV-1

Objective: To determine the risk factors for and timing of vertical transmission of hepatitis C virus in women who are not infected with HIV-1.

Untargeted mutation of the maternally derived mouse hypervariable minisatellite allele in F1 mice born to irradiated spermatozoa

Length change mutation at the Ms6hm hypervariable mouse minisatellite locus was analyzed in C57BL/6N × C3H/HeN F1 mice and the F1 of the reciprocal cross born to irradiated male parents. Spontaneous mutant frequencies were 8.4% and 9.8% for the paternally derived and maternally derived C3H/HeN alleles, respectively. The mutant frequencies for the paternally derived allele increased to 22% and 19% when the male parents were irradiated with 6 Gy at the postmeiotic spermatozoa stage and the spermatogonia stage, respectively. These increases in the mutant frequency were at least 10 to 100 times higher than those expected from the frequency of hits to the 3- to 4-kb allele, suggesting that the length change mutation at this minisatellite locus was not a targeted event due directly to DNA damage in the region. Further analysis demonstrated that the mutant frequency increased also at the maternally derived C3H/HeN allele to 20% when the male parents were irradiated at the spermatozoa stage. This increase in the maternal allele mutation was not observed in F1 born to irradiated spermatogonia. The present study suggests that introduction of DNA damage by irradiated sperm triggers genomic instability in zygotes and in embryos of subsequent developmental stages, and this genomic instability induces untargeted mutation in cis at the paternally derived minisatellite allele and in trans at the maternally derived unirradiated allele. Untargeted mutation revealed in the present study defines a previously unnoticed genetic hazard to the maternally derived genome by the paternally introduced DNA damage.
