Objective To quantifiably measure the methylation frequency of 18 CpG sites in the 3′region of L1 gene and long control region(LCR) gene of HPVl6 DNA,and study the relationship between HPVl6 DNA methylation and severity of cervical lesions. Methods A total of 10 cases Normal/low?grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(Normal/LSIL),10 cases of high?grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL),and 10 cases of cervical cancer(CC)were recruited for the study. The relationship between severity of cervical lesions and HPV16 DNA methylation was analyzed by bisultlte?pyrosequencing. Results The methylation rate was highest in Normal/LSIL at position 7 089 located in 3′?L1,followed by CC. The low?est was found in HSIL. The difference in methylation percentage among the three lesions was significant(P=0.006). In 7 134,the proportion meth?ylation was also different among three groups(P=0.01),difference in methylation percentage between Normal/LSIL and CC,as well as Normal/LSIL and HSIL was significant(P=0.038,0.017). Conclusion The methylation status of CpG sites 7 089 and 7 134 in the 3′region of L1gene is asso?ciated with the severity of cervical disease. The quantification of HPV DNA methylation can be used for cervical disease screening in clinical samples.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of transforaminal endoscopic nerve root decompression for degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS).Methods: From July 2011 to April 2016,96 cases of single segment DLSS were involved.All the patients had unilateral lower extremity neurological symptoms,signs,neurogenic intermittent claudication of less than 500 m.Imaging examinations (CT or MRI) or diagnostic nerve root block confirmed single segment degeneration.The mean age was (71.6±5.4) years,male: 55 cases,female: 41 cases.Their intraoperative blood loss,operation time,complications,ambulation time and discharge time were recorded.Leg pain VAS,ODI were used to evaluate the pain and lumbar function of the patients.The clinical efficacy was evaluated by Nakai evaluation.Results: All the patients were performed endoscopic decompression of the lateral recess and nerve root by removing the ventral part of the superior facet joint,the ligamentum flavum and the intervertebral disc.The decompression range was from the inferior edge of the upper pedicle to the superior edge of the lower pedicle.The nerve root was detected to have no compression and the pulse of nerve root returned to normal.The patient got ambulant on the operation day and discharged if he had no discomfort symptom.In the study,68 cases got follow up.The mean follow-up time was 12.1 months (6-63 months).The VAS at dif-ferent follow-up time points was improved relative to the baseline,and the difference was statistically significant (F=491.60,P<0.001).The ODI at different follow-up time points was improved relative to the baseline,and the difference was statistically significant (F=189.91,P<0.001).The excellent and good rates of Nakai evaluation were 79.4％ (excellent in 42 cases,good in 12 cases,fair in 10 cases and poor in 4 cases).The mean intraoperative blood loss was (49.29±11.86) mL.The mean operation time was (92.46±21.34) min.The mean ambulation time was 1.8 h.The mean discharge time was 2.3 days.Postoperative epidural hematoma was found in 1 case.Foot drop was found in 1 case.Second stage open surgery was performed in 6 cases.Conclusion: We can apply transforaminal endoscopic decompression for the patients of lumbar spinal stenosis who have unilateral nerve root irritation.Patients with transforaminal endoscopic decompression can get less surgical trauma,quick recovery and obtain good short-term outcome.

Objective To identify the peptide that have strong ability binding to HCMV-UL149 encoded protein,and to analyze the characteristics of the amino acid sequence of UL149-binding peptides.Methods Expressed UL149 proteins of three genotypes were used to screen the binding peptide in the random peptide display library,then the encoding sequence of binding peptides in the selected clones were sequenced.The amino acid sequences of the binding peptides were analyzed for their homology,and were com pared with those of the known protein in protein banks.Results The homologous amino acid sequence W/A/F/V-D/E-D/E-G-W/F/I/L were found within the binding peptides selected by proteins of all the three UL149 genotypes proteins,and no difference between three groups was found.The alignment with amino acid sequences of the known proteins in protein banks showed that the binding peptides of UL149 putative protein have homologous amino acid sequences with immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region(IgHV),the serine/threonine protein kinases,compliment factor H,zinc finger protein,MHC Ⅰ molecule,eukaryotic translation initiation factor,nuclear factor and so on.Conclusion The UL149 encoding proteins have binding ability to proteins mentioned above,and might interfere with the immunity responds to HCMV infection through multiple mechanisms.
