Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(10):-
Human papillomaviruses are small DNA viruses and over 118 types have been identified. They often infect host through mucosal surface or skin. Some of them (types 6 and 11) cause benign tumors such as condylomas whereas others (16, 18 etc) cause malignant tumors such as cervical cancers. Currently, there are two kinds of HPV preventive vaccine have been approved to market abroad. This article reviews progress in the field of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) biology, mechanism of carcinogenesis by persistent infection of high risk HPVs, and the development of prophylactic and therapeutic viral vaccines.

Chinese Medical Ethics 1995;0(02):-
Patients in Orthopedics have different psychological features in the stages of before treatment,the stage of treatment,the stage of rehabilitation and the stage of post-discharge.The health care workers should use language and non-verbal skills to communicate with patients according to their psychological characteristics,and adopt different communication skills with different individuals.A good communication not only reduces the disputes between doctors and patients,but also promotes physiologic and psychological rehabilitation.
5.Determination of Serum Tryptophan and Kynurenine in Pregnant Women
Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2006;0(02):-
[Objective] To establish a method for determination of serum tryptophan and kynurenine in pregnant women.[Method] RP-HPLC was applied to analysis.C18 column was used.The mobile phase was composed of methanol-0.001M KH2PO4(PH=4)(12∶88).The UV detection wave length was 245nm.[Results] The linear response ranged from 2.56~307.06?mol?L-1 for tryptophan, r=0.9999.The linear response ranged from 0.12~5.05?mol?L-1 for kynurenine, r=0.9997.The mean concentrations of serum tryptophan and kynurenine were 49.73?7.48?mol?L-1 and 0.74?0.33?mol?L-1 respectively in 30 pregnant women.[Conclusion] The method is sensitive and suitable for the determination.

As an important kind of plant secondary metabolites and widely distributed in the plant kingdom, triter-penoid saponins have a variety of biological activities. The constitution and content of triterpenoid saponin are deter-mined by some key enzymes and their expressing level in triterpenoid saponins biosynthesis pathway. So, it is very important to illuminate the molecular mechanism of triterpenoid saponins biosynthetic pathway. In recent years, illu-mination of the entire biosynthetic pathway especially the confirmation and cloning of the key enzymes, such as squa-lene synthase, squalene epoxidase, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase and UDP-glycosyltransferase, had become one of the hot spots by many scholars. In this paper, the entire biosynthetic pathway and some kinds of key enzymes in-volved in the synthesis of carbon skeleton, and its oxidation, and glycation were reviewed for further demonstrating the biosynthetic pathway of triterpenoid saponins and providing a theoretical basis for artificial biosynthesis.
