In order to study the pathogenesis of HPVl1 and seek for a therapeutic approach of the disease caused by HPV1l. The HPVl1/E2 644bp was amplified by PCR with HPVll plasmid DNA. pGEM-T Easy was used as vector and a clone pTV-644 was obtained.The inserted DNA sequencing was carried out after selecting and identification. According to the hammerhead structure described by Symon's, the possible secondery cleavage sites on HPVll/E2 mRNA were analyzed and the secondery structure of substrate was predicted by computer and ribozyme, excluding analogous sequence of substrate combined with ribozyme were found in the mRNA.The hammerhead ribozyme of RZ2777 against HPV1l/E2 mRNA was seleted to carry out cleavage reaction in vitro. Results of the experiment showed that 644bp substrate derived from HPVll/E2 can be cleavaed site-specifically by ribozyme in vitro. The cleavage activity showed over 85% by choosing the optimun reaction condition, which was not affected by two cis-ribozymes on both 3′-and 5′-ends released by self cleavage,but two flan-king sequences of target RNA influenced the cleavage activity. Results demonstrated that the ribozyme will become a highly effective and specific therapy against HPVll infection.

Objective To investigate the effects of somatostatin (SST) on levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-αduring CPB in pigs. Methods Twenty four healthy pigs were randomly divided into control group (SS00) and 3 experimental groups, SS05, SS10 and SS20. All pigs were performed by CPB for cardiac arrest in 45 min. the levels of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-αwere tested and compared. Results The TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 levels were higher than T0 among all groups after CPB(P<0.05);The levels of TNF-αand IL-6 after CPB in SS10, SS20 groups were lower than SS00 group(P<0.05), and the IL-10 level was higher(P<0.05). Conclusion Infusing with a certain dose of SST before CPB could down-regulate acute inflammatory response;SST has no impact on the operative safety.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of the optimized cytokinesis-block (CB) assay on radiation-induced nucleoplasmic bridge (NPB), and to provide a scientific basis for the application of NPB in biological dose estimation.Methods:Human peripheral blood in vitro was irradiated with 2 Gy 60Co γ-rays at a dose rate of 1 Gy/min (0 Gy control group). According to the culture time after irradiation, blood samples were divided into group 48, 56, 68 and 72 h. Cytochalasin-B (Cyt-B) with a concentration of 6 μg/ml was added into the samples at 28 h and harvested at 48, 56, 68 and 72 h after irradiation, respectively. On the other hand, the blood samples were treated with different concentration of Cyt-B i. e., 0.6, 1, 2, 6 and 10 μg/ml at the beginning of culture (0 h) and harvested at 68 h after irradiation. The proportion of mononucleated, binucleated and multinucleated cells, radiation-induced NPB and micronucleus (MN) frequencies were analyzed. Results:The nuclear division index (NDI) and proportion of binucleated cells at 2 Gy and 0 Gy had tendency of increasing with cell culture time. NPB frequencies (0.023 0-0.033 0/cell) and MN frequencies had no significantly difference ( P> 0.05). With the increase of Cyt-B concentration, NDI and the proportion of binucleated cells in group 2 Gy and 0 Gy also increased, but NPB frequencies (0.023 0-0.047 0/cell) had no significant difference ( P> 0.05). MN frequencies of group 10 μg/ml were significantly lower than that of group 6 μg/ml ( U=2.74, P< 0.01). Conclusions:Cell culture time and Cyt-B concentration had no significant influence on radiation-induced NPB frequencies, suggesting that NPB could be obtained by appropriately reducing cell culture time and Cyt-B could be added into blood samples at the beginning of culture. But this protocol reduced the number of cells for further analysis, and thus its feasibility for dose estimation still need to be studied.

Objective To investigate the impact of surgical resection on patients with Ⅱ-Ⅲ A stage small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). Method Data of 61 in-patients who diagnosed as Ⅱ-ⅢA stage SCLC from Jan 1st 2009 to Feb 1st 2014 were analyzed. 23 patients underwent surgical resections were enrolled as the treatment group, while 38 patients without surgical resection were enrolled as the control group. Disease progression was confirmed by monthly examination. The grouping is balanced by propensity score match. The progression-free survival (PFS) time and overall survival(OS) were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier survival method and Cox regression is applied to analyze the covariates. Fisher's exact test was applied to compare one-year survival rate and two-year survival rate. Results The PFS and OS of the treatment group is longer than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Both one-year and two-year survival rates of the treatment group outnumber those of the control group (P < 0.05). Cox regression indicates that surgical resection is an independent prognostic factor (P < 0.05). Conclusion Surgical resection on tolerable patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ A small-cell lung carcinoma is effective on improving the progression-free survival time,one-year and two-year survival rates,and also shows a propensity of a higher overall survival time.

Objective To investigate the consistency in 18F-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) examination and histopathological analyses in the diagnoses of resectable lung tumors. Methods Retrospective reviews over the clinical data of lung tumor patients by preoperative PET-CT diagnosis and postoperative histopathological diagnosis were conducted to investigate the effects of the two diagnostic methods in terms of lung tumor properties , mediastinal lymph node metastasis , and pulmonary hilar lymph node metastasis. Results The diagnoses by preoperative PET-CT was consistent in differentiation of non-malignancy and malignancy of pathologic lung tumors by 87.3%, at a medium level (κ = 0.401, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P = 0.508, indicating the two diagnostic methods were insignificantly different in the diagnosis of pulmonary tumors. The preoperative PET-CT was consistent in the diagnosis of the metastasis of pathologic mediastinal lymph node by 85.9%, at a medium level (κ = 0.697, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P =0.754, indicating no significant difference between the diagnostic methods. The preoperative PET-CT was consistent with postoperative pathological examinations in the differentiations of the metastasis of pulmonary and hilar lymph node by 77.4%, at a medium level (κ=0.523, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P = 0.454, indicating the two diagnostic methods were no significantly different. Conclusion Preoperative PET-CT and histopathologic examinations may be consistent in lung tumor diagnosis , which provides a basis for a certain significance in the surgical options.
