Objectlve:To assess the influential factors of decision-to-delivery inteval (DDI) in caesarean section, and its influence on neonatal outcomes.Methods:472 caesarean sections were divided into two groups according to Lucas's classification :the emergency caesarean sections as group 1 (291) ; and the e-lective caesarean sections as group 2 (181).It was divided into DDI ≤30 min group and DDI > 30 mir group in group 1.A retrospective study was performed in DDI, influential factors of DDI, neonatal Apgar score and umbilical arterial blood gas.Results: ①The mean DDI was 35.5±11.6 min in group 1,in wgich DDI≤30 min was 210 cases (72.2%) and 49.3 ±22.8 min in group 2, in which DDI≤30 min was 86 cases (47.5%).②IN group 1,umbilical artery pH and Apgar core at 1 min after birth could be improved sigbificantly in the cases of DDI ≤ 30 min (P<0.05) , but no correlation was found between the DDI and Apgar scrore at 5 min ,as compared with DDI >30MIN CASES(p>0.05).③It was mainly influenced by time taken to get the patient into operation room in DDI >30 min (56 cases, 69.1 %).Concluslons :The recommended DDI ≤30 min is not routinely achieved even in emergency caesarean sections.Shortening DDI as far as pos-sible might improve the neonatal outcome.

ObjectiveTo construct one recombinant adenovirus AdE7E6 expressing HPV16 E6 and E7 fusion protein as candidate for HPV16 therapeutic vaccine.MethodsThe codon-optimized E6 and E7 gene,were fused to create one open reading frame,then inserted into adenovirus vector pCD316.A strain of recombinant adenovirus was constructed through homologous recombinant in 293 cells,and identified by PCR and Western blot.Finally,it was employed to study it's immunogenicity and the activity of the tumor growth regression.ResultsThe PCR result showed that E6E7 fusion gene had been integrated in recombinant Ad5 DNA.Western blot test confirmed that the E6E7 fusion protein was highly expressed in 293 cells infected with Ad5E7E6 recombinant adenovirus.The recombinant adenovirus elicited significant E7 specific CD8+ T lymphocyte response in vaccinated mice.These responses could completely prevent the TG-1 tumor cell bearing mice treated with AdE7E6 from developing into tumor.ConclusionThese results suggested that rAd5E7E6 could be a potent vaccine candidate for the treatment of HPV16-associated tumors and their precancerous transformations.

Objective:
To investigate the cellular and humoral immune responses induced by combined immunization with the fusion protein of human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18) and the recombinant vaccinia virus.
Methods:
Purified HPV18L231-600E7E6 fusion protein, expressed by prokaryotic expression system, were immunized in combination with the recombinant vaccinia virus vaccine expressing HPV18E7E6 fusion protein (rVV18E7E6) by using various prime-boost regiments in C57BL/6 mice. Cellular and humoral immune responses were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and pseudovirus neutralization assay.
Results:
Higher levels of cellular immune responses were induced in mice primed with the HPV18L231-600E7E6 fusion protein/adjuvant CpG and boosted with the recombinant vaccinia virus rVV18E7E6, than in other immunized mice. Higher binding antibody level was induced, and low level neutralizing antibody against pseudovirus was detected simultaneously.
Conclusions
Priming with HPV18L231-600E7E6 fusion protein/CpG and boosting with the recombinant vaccinia virus rVV18E7E6 could induce higher cellular and humoral immune response in immunized mice, which might be taken as vaccine candidate for treatment of HPV18 chronic infection and postoperative adjuvant treatment for cervical cancer.
