Objective To discuss the clinical significance of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in cervical cancer and to explore the feasibility of detecting the infection with microarray from paraffin-embedded specimens of cervical cancer. Methods From May 2005 to February 2007, 48 patients with cervical carcinoma, including 37 cases with cervical squamous cell carcinoma and 11 cases with cervical adenocarcinoma, were analyzed retrospectively. After DNA extraction from the paraffin-embedded tissues, 23 HPV subtypes were detected by the use of microarray after amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and hybridization. Results 44 cases of cervical cancer were found to be high-risk HPV positive genotypes. The HPV infection rate was 91.7%. The HPV infection rate in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 94.6% (35/37), and in cervical adenocarcinoma was 81.8% (9/11). Among them, 33 cases were found to have single infection, accounting for 75.0% of the infection rate. There were 11 cases of mixed infection, among them 9 cases were found to have double infection and 2 cases with multiple infection, accounting for 20.5% and 4.6%, respectively, of the infection rate. The infection rate of HPV16, the main genotype, was 90.9% (40/44). The infection rate of HPV18, the second ranking subtype, was 27.3% (12/44). Infection with HPV52, 33, 59, and 68 genotypes was lower in incidence. Among 35 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, the infection rates of HPV16 and HPV18 were 91.4% (32/35) and 22.9% (8/35), respectively. Among 9 cases of cervical adenocarcinoma, the infection rate of HPV16 and HPV18 were 88.9% (8/9) and 44.4% (4/9), respectively. Conclusion Multiple HPV genotypes can be detected from paraffin-embedded tissues with microarray technique in high sensitivity and specificity, and it is useful to study the pathogenesis and prevention of cervical cancer.

Aim To demonstrate the effects and mechanism of adenosine A1 receptor agonist R(-)-N6-(2-phenylisopropyl) adenosine(R-PIA) on high glucose(HG)-induced myocardial hypertrophy by in vitro cultured myocardial cells from neonatal rats.Methods The protein content was assayed by the method of Lowry. The expression of p-ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 was determined by Western blot.The [Ca~(2+)]I transient changes of cell loaded Fura-2/AM were measured by Till image system.Results 1 μmol·L~(-1) R-PIA and U0126 inhibited similarly HG-induced increase of the protein content and [Ca~(2+)]I transient along with the relative expression of p-ERK1/2.These responses were completely abolished by adenosine A1 receptor antagonist 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine(CPDPX).Conclusion Adenosine A1 receptor stimulation significantly inhibits HG-induced myocardial hypertrophy by mediating ERK1/2 pathway and Ca~(2+).
