HPV infection may closely relate to the carcinogenesis and progression of colon cancer.

Objective To investigate the relationship between HPV infection and human colorectal carcinogenesis. Methods Colorectal carcinoma specimens from 72 Chinese patients were studied. DNA extracted from colorectal tissue was screened for HPV L1 by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), HPV subtype 6,11, 16, and 18 were detected by PCR using specific primers and in situ hybridization using specific probe. Results Twenty-four specimens out of 72 (33%) colorectal cancer were HPV L1 positive. The normal colorectal mucosa was HPV L1 negative. The location, infiltration and metastasis of colorectal carcinoma were all significantly related with HPV infection. The predominant HPV subtype was HPV 16,which was found in 58% of all HPV-positive colorectal carcinoma. Conclusion The presence of HPV DNA suggests that HPV may be involved in the carcinogenesis of colorectal carcinoma. HPV infection is closely related with the malignant potential of colorectal cancer.

Objective To obtain shRNA sequences that can stably block the expression of Nuclear Factor kappa- B (p65) in the prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and construct the lentivirus vector.And validate the gene function of p65 in the cell line. Methods According to p65 genetic information, we design siRNA1, siRNA2, siRNA3 those three siRNA sequences targeting the ods area of p65 gene and then form the corresponding four pairs of complementary single strand DNA of shRNA, including the sense strand and the antisense strand. The synthetic shRNA sequence was inserted into the empty pSIH1-H1-copGFP shRNA Vector, and after transfecting the prostate cancer cells , the inhibitory effect of p65 mRNA by different sequences was detected through real-time PCR, and the inhibitory effect of p65 protein expression was detected by Western-blotting. Thus we can obtain highly effective shRNA sequences in the inhibition of p65 in prostate cancer cells. MTT, flow cytometry, transwell were chosen to test the cell growth, migration and invasive power in vitro to compare the difference of the experimental group, control group and negative group. Results The third shRNA sequence had the best inhibitory effect and the inhibitory effect of p65 mRNA in prostate cancer cell line was 59 % and the protein was 81%. It's position locates in p65 (NM_021975 ) 1096-1113 and it's stemloop sequence is 5'-GATCCGCCCTATCCCTTTACGTCATTCAAGAGATGACGTAAAGGGATAGGGCTTTTTG-3'. After transfecting, the prostate cancer cell line had the low expression of p65 stably. Through MTT, we got the growth curve, which showed that the growth ability of experimental group was significantly decreased compared with the control group and the Logarithmic growth didn't appear in the first 96 hours. Flow cytometry test displayed that the percentage of G0-G1-phase cells in experimental group was 61.49%, and the control group was 44.89%, idle group was 41.52%, which was increasing oberviously. The S-phase cells in the experimental group was 28.58%, compared with the 47.36% and 46. 10% diminished. The results of transwell showed that the experimental group had 16. 5000±6. 62076 cells and the other two groups had 45. 6333 13. 54159 and 36. 8333±5. 68412 cells, which showed the invasive power of experimental group was significantly declined(P＜0.05).Conclusions It's successful to obtain shRNA sequences that can stably block the expression of p65 in the prostate cancer cell line LNCaP and construct the lentivirus vector. p65 can positively regulates the biological behavior of prostate cancer LNCaP cell line in the cell growth, migration and invasive power.

Objective To study biomechanical effects of cannulated screws at different fixation angles on posterior malleolus fracture based on finite element method, so as to determine the best fixation method of cannulatedscrew. Methods The finite element model of ankle joint, including tibia, fibula, astragalus, corresponding cartilage and ligaments was reconstructed using CT images, and 1 / 2 posterior malleolus fracture model was established on the basis of verifying its validity. The biomechanical effects of cannulated screw fixation on posterior malleolus fracture fixation model were analyzed. Results Compared with 0°,5°,10°,20° fixation model, the 15° fixation model had the smallest displacement. The screw stress of 15° fixation model was lower than that of 5°, 10°, 20° fixation model, and higher than that of 0° fixation model. But when the screw fixation angle was 0°, the peak contact pressure of ankle joint was much larger than that of normal ankle joint, which was easy to cause traumatic osteoarthritis. Conclusions Cannulated screw is safe and effective for treating posterior malleolus fracture which is less than 1 / 2 fragment size. The displacement and stress of the model are different at different fixation angles of screws. When the fixation angle of screw is 15°, the biomechanical stability is the best, which can be used to guide clinical operation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of absorbable magnesium alloy screws in atlantoaxial dislocation fixation. Methods Four kinds of screws with triangular, rectangular, trapezoidal and zigzag thread were designed with WE43 magnesium alloy. The finite element simulation analyses were performed on the screw- polyurethane model and atlantoaxial fixation system model. The stress and displacement distributions on the models were obtained. Results The pull-out force simulations were carried out on four kinds of magnesium alloy screws according to ASTM F543 standard specification. The stresses of screws with triangular, rectangular, trapezoidal and zigzag thread were 146.20, 185.22,194.98, 264.55 MPa, respectively. The pull-out strength of the screw with triangular thread was the largest, and the peak stress was the smallest. The magnesium alloy screw with triangular thread used for atlantoaxial fixation could meet the strength requirements of flexion/extension, rotation and bending of the neck. The peak stress of the screw was reduced by 17.16 MPa after adding hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on the surface, and the stress on the screw was within the range of bonding strength between coating and magnesium alloy substrate. Conclusions Under the same loading condition, the screw with triangular thread has good stability and the best pull-out force performance. After heat treatment, the strength of magnesium alloy screw with triangular thread meets the load-bearing requirements for atlantoaxial dislocation fixation. HA coating on screw surface can optimize mechanical properties of the screw, and there exits good bonding strength between the coating and the screw.

Epigenomic imbalance drives abnormal transcriptional processes,promoting the onset and progression of cancer.Although defective gene regulation generally affects carcinogenesis and tumor suppression networks,tumor immunogenicity and immune cells involved in antitumor responses may also be affected by epigenomic changes,which may have significant implications for the development and application of epigenetic therapy,cancer immunotherapy,and their combinations.Herein,we focus on the impact of epigenetic regulation on tumor immune cell function and the role of key abnormal epigenetic processes,DNA methylation,histone post-translational modification,and chromatin structure in tumor immunogenicity,and introduce these epigenetic research methods.We emphasize the value of small-molecule inhibitors of epigenetic modulators in enhancing antitumor immune responses and discuss the challenges of developing treatment plans that combine epigenetic therapy and immuno-therapy through the complex interaction between cancer epigenetics and cancer immunology.
