Journal of Modern Laboratory Medicine 2017;32(4):140-142
Objective To determine the genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) and to estimate their recurrence of condyloma acuminatum (CA) among female in Xi'an.Methods HPV genotype was detected with human papilloma virus genotyping kit in 63 female patients with CA.Follow-up was carried out to observe the recurrence of CA in these patients after CO2 laser treatment.Results Of the 63 specimens,61 (96.83%) were positive for HPV,and a total of 16 HPV subtypes were identified.The predominant genotypes were HPV6 (59.2%),11 (22.95%),42 (8.20%),43 (8.20%),52 (8.20%),16 (6.56%) and 18 (4.92%) respectively.43 cases of single HPV infection was accounted for 70.49% (43/61),mixed infection in 14 cases was accounted 22.95 % (14/61).61 cases of patients with laser treatment,observing the recurrence of cuses after 3-month later,it was found that the recurrence rate in higher risk group and mixed infection group was higher than that in low-risk group.Conclusion HPV6,11 is main HPV infection type of the female patients in Xi'an,the recurrence of CA is higher in patients with high risk HPV than in those with low risk HPV and mixted infection.Mixted infection of HPV and high risk HPV is a risk factor for recurrence of female genital warts in Xi'an region.
2.Recombinant human erythropoietin inhibiting apoptosis of human mesenchymal stem cells induced by H2O2 in vitro
Chinese Journal of Organ Transplantation 2012;33(8):470-473
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on the apoptosis of human mesenchymal stem cells induced by H2O2 and related cell signaling pathways.Methods After being cultured in vitro, human MSCs were treated with rhEPO.Phosphorylation of ERK1/2,p38 MAPK and PI3K/Akt was detected by using Western blotting.One h after pretreatment with1U/ml rhEPO,cells were cultured in the presence of1mmol/L H2O2 for1h.Cell morphology was observed under the inverted microscopy.Cell apoptosis was determined by using flow cytometry,migration assay was performed in Transwell chambers,and adhesion assay was performed by plastic dishes.ResultsRhEPO could increase phosphorylation of PI3K/Akt pathway in human MSCs,but reduce phosphorylation of p38MAPK.RhEPO had no obvious effect on ERK1/2 pathway and total proteins of Akt and p38MAPK.RhEPO could decrease apoptosis of human MSCs induced by H2O2 (P<0.01) and the inhibitory effect was abrogated by Ly294002 but not anisomysin.Conclusion RhEPO could protect MSCs from apoptosis. Activation of PI3K/Akt pathway was involved in the effect of rhEPO on apoptosis.

The homeostasis of extracellular glutamate concentration is critically regulated by glutamate transporters(GTs).Malfunction or decreased expression of GTs has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various nervous system diseases.And among the GTs,glutamate transporter 1(GLT-1)plays a critical role as "glutamate pump".Recent research also finds some GLT-1 variants which alternate C-terminal splicings.Altered expression of proteins encoded by splice variants of GLT-1 has been noted in a number of disease states.Maintaining a physiological range of extracellular glutamate through regulating GTs expression or function may improve some pathological conditions.Many drugs are reported that can regulate GTs.For example,ceftriaxone,phencyclidine,citicoline,riluzole,AKT,thrombosin can up-regulate the expression or function of glutamate transporters;etomidate,clozapine,aspartic acid analogs,endothelin can down-regulate the expression or function of glutamate transporters.In this paper,the drugs which effect GTs will be summarized in order to provide a new insight into the drug design and clinical treatment of neurological diseases.

Aims To establish several behavioral paradigms to characterize the psychotropic effects of hallucinogens which ze-brafish was utilized as a model animal, and then to investigate the effects of potent hallucinogenic drugs on these models. Methods With the video record and track system, the behavior was recorded and quantified automatically. In the experiments, the bottom dwelling test, social behavior and mirror test were performed to test the hallucinogenic effects of drugs. Metham-phetamine (METH, 2 mg·L-1) and ketamine (20 mg·L-1) were selected as experimental challenges. The 30 min pre-treat-ment time was chosen based on our prior experience in zebrafish models. Results Compared to the normal group, in dwelling test, acute exposure of zebrafish to METH and ketamine de-creased transitions significantly, and in mirror reflection test, the drug-treated fish changed the preference for mirror zone, and ex-hibited aggressive for their mirror images. The pretreatment of METH and ketamine significantly reduced the contact durations, and the ketamine inhibited the contact frequency each other, the results indicated that the social interaction of zebrafish was im-paired. Conclusion The results confirm high sensitivity of ze-brafish models to hallucinogenic compounds with complex behav-ioral and physiological effects.
