Objective To investigate the cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, genotypes and related high risk factors in 459 women of annual health examination. Methods A total of 459 cervical cytology specimens were de-tected with nest PCR and pyrosequencing methods. Questionnaires were collected simultaneously and the risk factors of HPV infection were analyzed. Results The detection rate of HPV-positive samples was 17.9%. Seven kinds of high-risk genotypes of HPV were found. The detection of HPV 16 was the most common (9.8%), followed by HPV58 (7.0%) and HPV18 (5.2%). The detection rates of simplex infection, dual infections and multiple infections were 9.6%, 4.8%and 1.5%respectively. The risk factors for HPV infection included alcohol consumption,income <3 000 yuan/ month, sexual part-ners>1, frequency of sexual activity>4 times/month and cervical erosion (P<0.05). Conclusion HPV DNA genotyping can provide important reference for HPV screening at early time and the application of HPV vaccines, which also provide sig-nificant evidence for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer at early stage for the high risk population.

Objective To investigate the effects of UVB irradiation and calciu m at different concentrations on the expression of pemphigus antigens by culture d human keratinocytes. Methods Human keratinocyte cultures were treated with eit her 2 mmol/L calcium added to the serum free media, or exposure to UVB irradiat ion. Immunofluorescence staining was performed with sera from patients with pemp higus vulgaris (PV) or pemphigus foliaceus (PF) as the first antigen. Extracts f rom both epidermis and keratinocytes were run on SDS-PAGE according to Laemmli ′s method and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane for immunoblot with PV and PF sera. Results Specific staining with PV sera was always detectable on kerati nocyte culture by immunofluorescence assay with or without high concentrations o f calcium while PF antigen was detected on stratified cells only. However, expos ure to UVB irradiation could not evoke keratinocyte culture express PF antigen. The reactivities were found at 160 kd band with PF sera while at both 160 kd and 130 kd bands with PV sera. Conclusions Monolayer or stratified keratinocytes ca n produce PV antigen, by increasing the concentration of calcium in the culture media, the human cultured kera tinocytes can be induced to stratify and express PFA. Human keratinocytes can not express PF antigen after exposure to UVB in intro.

Objective To study the action and mechanism of staphylococcal exfoliative toxin A(E-TA)on pemphigus foliaceus antigen(PFA)and pemphigus vulgaris antigen(PVA)expressed on cultured human keratinocytes.Methods Stratified human keratinocytes were incubated with ETA and then stained with sera from patients with pemphigus foliaceus or pemphigus vulgaris as the first antibodies and FITC-la-beled sheep anti-human IgG as the second antibody.Total protein was harvested from the cells pretreated with ETA and run on SDS-PAGE for Western blot with the same antibodies.Simultaneously,supernatants of the keratinocytes before and after ETA treatment were collected for detection of the levels of IL-1?,IL-6with ELISA kits.The caseinolytic activities of the supernatants were tested by spectrometry in which casein was used as a non-specific substrate.Results Down-expression of PFA was shown after ETA treatment while no change of PVA expression was found.The high intensity and continuous linear appearance of fluo-rescent staining before ETA treatment became weak and discontinuous after ETA treatment,which were re-covered gradually in24hours.The degradation of proteins recognized by PF sera after ETV treatment was revealed by Western blot.The decreasing tendency of IL-1?concentration was found in the supernatants of cell culture after ETA treatment,but IL-6level was too low to be detected.Increased caseinolytic activities were found in the supernatants,and declined36hours after ETA treatment.Conclusions ETA acts on PFA expressed on keratinocytes in vitro,which is reversible along with withdrawal of ETA.The mechanism of E-TA act on PFA may be related to proteolytic action instead of promoting cytokine secretion.

Objective: To explore the correlation between the expression of C-terminal tensin-like protein (CTEN) and the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: Using immunohistochemistry, we detected CTEN protein level in samples of primary lesion and adjacent non-tumor lesion collected from 240 patients with HCC. The relationship between CTEN expression and clinicopathology, 5 year recurrent-free survival, or overall survival was evaluated by Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier, or Cox regression analysis. Results: High CTEN expression was detected in 55% of hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and 20%of adjacent carcinoma tissues (P<0.001). CTEN expression was positively correlated with tumor diameter (P=0.022), venous invasion (P=0.007) or TNM stages (P=0.022). Five-year recurrence-free survival time (P<0.001) and overall survival time (P<0.001) in patients with high CTEN expression were signiifcantly less than those in patients with low CTEN expression. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the CTEN expression was an independent prognostic marker for HCC (all P<0.05). Conclusion: CTEN protein may play a role in the genesis and development of HCC, and it can function as a prognostic marker.

Objective To study the therapeutic effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) on acute liver failure ( ALF) induced by D-galactosamine (D-gal) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rats. Methods The ALF model was obtained through intraperitoneal injection of D-gal(300 mg/kg)and LPS (20μg/kg)in Wister rats. The hUCMSCs were transplanted after intoxication. All rats were divided into four groups, and each group received either hUCMSCs or 0.9% NaCl solution through intraperitoneal or tail-intravenous injection. To evaluate the liver function of each group, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBil) and serum albumin (Alb) were measured on the day of hUCMSCs transplantation and the following 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 days. All rats were then sacrificed to examine the liver histology at day 7. Analyses were done by using Fisher's exact test, unpaired t test and Mann-Whitney U test. Results There were no significant differences of survival rates among four groups (Fisher's exact test, both P = 1. 00). The levels of ALT, TBil and Alb in group receiving hUCMSCs intraperitoneally were (804. 9 ± 88. 0) U/L,(17. 4±2. 7) μmol/L and (20. 9±0. 8) g/L, respectively after 2 days of injection, whereas in the corresponding control group, those were (1294. 3± 171. 4) U/L, (32. 3±5. 5) μmol/L and (16. 1±0. 9) g/L, respectively, which indicated that hUCMSCs transplantation significantly improved the liver function (t = 2. 640, P =0.020;t=2.529, P = 0. 025;t= - 3. 833, P = 0. 002). Both of hUCMSCs-transplanted groups showed no significant differences. Liver histological data showed that transplantation of hUSMSCs through either intraperitoneal or tail-intravenous injection alleviated liver damage (U=4. 500, P = 0. 005;U=4. 500, P = 0. 008) and the mitotic index also increased in hUCMSCs-transplanted groups (U=4. 000, P = 0. 005; U=5. 500, P = 0. 013). Conclusions The levels of ALT, TBil and Alb can rapidly normalize in ALF rats after injected with hUCMSCs either intraperitoneally or tail-intravenously. hUCMSCs application raises the mitotic index, enhances hepatocellular regeneration and improves histological status.
