Epidemiological studies show that human papillomaviruses (HPV) are strongly related to cervical cancer and cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN). Unlike the case for women, there are no consistent data on the natural history of HPV in the male population even though these viruses are prevalent in males. We carried out a prospective study to assess the prevalence of HPV in males as well as the factors that determine such infections in 99 male sexual partners of women with CIN. The genitalia of the males were physically examined and subjected to peniscopy for the collection of scrapings which were subjected to the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism to detect HPV. Of the 99 males sampled, 54 (54.5%) were positive for HPV DNA, 24% of whom presented normal peniscopy, 28% presented evident clinical lesions and 48% isolated lesions consistent with subclinical infection. In the HPV-negative group, 53% showed normal peniscopy, 4% presented evident clinical lesions and 42% isolated lesions consistent with subclinical infection. The study detected a statistically significant association (P < 0.02, Pearson chi-square test) between HPV infection and both the mean number of sexual partners which a male had during his life and the mean number of sexual partners in the year prior to testing. Viral types 6 and 11 were most frequently encountered. The study shows that infection with HPV was frequent in male sexual partners of women with CIN.

to analyze the ABEn's position in field of the nursing superior education; discuss the fight strategies undertaken by spokesmen of the nursing superior education in front of the LDB/96 s policies. Primary sources: oral depositions and written documents. Secondary sources: literatures about the thematic. Theoretical Reference: Pierre Bourdieu's concepts. The fight strategies undertaken by the nursing agents occurred from the political-expansionist, political-juridical and politic - organizational policies, which concurred to the reconfiguration of the nursing superior education field's reconfiguration.

RESUMOObjetivo: identificar a tendência temática e metodológica das dissertações do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, período 2000-2014. Método: estudo bibliométrico, quantitativo, realizado em 2014/2015, com aplicação de roteiro estruturado. O conjunto amostral foi organizado com 301 dissertações, analisadas com auxílio da estatística descritiva. O material pesquisado é de domínio público, disponibilizado online e na biblioteca setorial da instituição. Resultados: as dissertações utilizaram estudos descritivos -258 (64,2%); técnica de entrevista -175 (49,7%); técnica de análise de conteúdo -191 (58,2%); enfoque temático na área de Enfermagem em Saúde Coletiva -114 (38,0%); estavam inseridas na linha de pesquisa Saberes, Políticas e Práticas em Saúde Coletiva e Enfermagem -109 (36,2%). Conclusão: a análise da produção científica evidenciou que os autores priorizaram temáticas na área de saúde coletiva e dos fundamentos do cuidar em enfermagem em estudos qualitativos, sinalizando uma tendência específica do Programa analisado. Palavras-chave: Educação em enfermagem; educação de pós-graduação em enfermagem; pesquisa em enfermagem; produção científica. ABSTRACT Objective: to identify thematic and methodological trends in dissertations of the Postgraduate Nursing Program at Rio de Janeiro State University from 2000-2014. Method: this quantitative, bibliometric study collected data in 2014-2015 by applying a structured script. The study sample comprised 301 dissertations, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The study material is public domain, available online and in institution's library. Results: the dissertations used descriptive study -258 (64.2%); interviews -175 (49.7%); content analysis -191 (58.2%); thematic focus on Nursing in Collective Health -114 (38.0%) and formed part of the line of research in Knowledge, Policy and Practice in Collective Health and Nursing 109 (36.2%). Conclusion: analysis of the scientific production showed that the authors prioritized qualitative studies of themes in the areas of collective health and the fundamentals of nursing care, signaling one specific trend in the program considered.

There is considerable data to support a central role for human papillomavirus (HPV) in the etiology of cervical cancer. More than a 100 HPV types have been described, and 40 have been isolated from benign and malignant genital lesions. Consequently, there is strong motivation to evaluate HPV testing for cervical cancer screening. Few studies concerning the natural history of HPV infection have been conducted in the state of Rio de Janeiro. We determined the prevalence of HPV types in female genital lesions by using Hybrid Capture Assay (HCA) and we retrospectively analyzed the course of HPV infection. Our sample included 788 women attended at Laboratórios Sérgio Franco. The average age of the participants was 29.6 years. HPV prevalence and cytological diagnosis were determined. The overall prevalence of HPV DNA in the study group was 50.1% (395/788), ranging from 25% (NORMAL) to 100% in high-grade intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). High risk HPV was found in 12% inflammatory, 58.3% HPV, 63.2% LSIL and 100% HSIL. A retrospective analysis of 78 patients showed that 22 presented persistent lesions, 2 had progressive lesions, 4 had regressive lesions, 13 showed latent infections, 18 were transiently infected and 19 were submitted to curative treatment. No cases of cancer were registered in this population, which can afford private medical care and regular follow-up exams. We suggest that HCA be used in specific cases involving persistent and recurrent lesions.
