Objective To explore the expressions of livin and Smac in condyloma acuminatum (CA) tissue and their roles. Methods The expressions of Livin and Smac were analyzed by immunocytochemical staining with streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) in tissue specimens from the lesions of 58 patients with CA and foreskin of 20 normal human controls. Results The detection rates of Livin and Smac were 81.03% (47/58) and 77.59% (45/58) in CA lesions, respectively, compared to 25.00% (5/20) and 35.00% (7/20) in the controls, respectively. The expressions of Livin and Smac varied from positive (++) to strongly positive (+++) in CA lesions, and from negative (-) to positive (++) in the controls (both P< 0.05). A positive correlation was found between the expression of Livin and Smac in CA lesions (r = 0.373, P < 0.01). Conclusion There is an over- expression of Livin and Smac in CA tissue, which may be involved in the occurrence and development of CA.

Since the first reported case of swine influenza A in Mexico,a total of 15 510 cases have been confirmed in 53 countries by May 29,2009.On April 29,2009,the World Health Organization(WHO)raised its pandemic alert from grade 4 to grade 5.The virus is described as a new subtype of A/H1N1 and is not detected in pigs or humans previously.The virus is sensitive to oseltamivir and zanamivir,but resistant to amantadine and rimantadine.The genetics of the virus are so novel that humans are unlikely to have much immunity to it.The virus can transmit from human to human;therefore it is necessary to enforce quarantine measure for close contactors because the virus transmits during latency.Precaution methods like covering noses and mouths with a tissue when coughing or sneezing can reduce the transmission opportunity.Hands should be washed frequently with soap,especially after coughing or sneezing.Public places with ventilation conditions,personal health behavior and health condition are critical for the prevention and control of this epidemic.

Several epidemic influenza viruses leading to worldwide periodical pandemics all result from the genetic reassortment of different influenza viruses.The novel 2009 A/H1N1 virus is a reassortment virus evolved from swine influenza virus A/H1N1,avian influenza virus H5N1,and human influenza virus A/H1N1.The 8 fragmente genes of the novel A/H1N1 virus had their own evolutionary characteristics.All the pandemic viruses in humans originate from avian influenza viruses and are transferred into humans after reassortment processes in pigs.Pigs as middle host and a mixing vessel of influenza A virus play an important role in the evolution of the 2009 novel A/H1N1 virus.More attention should be paid on the role of swine in the prevention and control of novel H1N1 virus epidemics in future.

Objective To explore the clonality of the T cells and the role of cellular immunological pathogenesis in chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC) by TCR CDR3 size spectratyping and determining sequence. Methods The TCR CDR3 region genes of 24 BV families were amplified by utilizing inverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology, and the CDR3 size lengths of T cell receptor (TCR) ?-chain were analyzed with Genescan technology for 4 healthy individuals and 9 AsCs. The clonality of T cells presumed by spectratyping was further confirmed by CDR3 sequencing. Results The CDR3 repertoire of 4 healthy individuals showed Gaussian distribution. The clonal expansions of T cell were observed in 8 out of 9 AsCs. The expanded T cells have different CDR3 sequences. Conclusion There is significantly clonal expansion in the compartment of the peripheral blood T lymphocyte in AsCs. The expanded T cells do not have homogenicity.

Objective To investigate the genotype and gene mutation of hepatitis E virus isolated from the serum and stool samples of the patients with epidemic outbreak hepatitis E in certain recruit barracks of Guangzhou. Methods The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to amplify the partial ORF2 nucleotide acid sequences of hepatitis E virus isolated from 34 and 46 inpatients with epidemic outbreak and sporadic hepatitis E respectively. The PCR products of the positive samples were cloned and sequenced. Results The 14 strains, including 12 epidemic strains and 2 sporadic strains, were isolated from the total 80 inpatients. The homology of nucleotide acid and amino acid sequences of 12 epidemic outbreak strains is 95.3%～100% and 94.0% ～100% . The homology between epidemic outbreak strains and sporadic strains is 95.3%～99.3% and 94.0%～100%. Compared with the standard different genotypes of HEV, these strains have the highest homology to the Jap1 strain which belongs to genotype Ⅳ, with homology of 96.0%～100%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that these the nucleotide acid sequence homology of 92.0%～95.3% and amino acid sequence stains and Jap1 strain share the same cluster. Conclusion[KG1]Epidemic outbreak strains isolated from the patients in recruit barracks of Guangzhou belong to the genotype Ⅳ of HEV and the nucleotide acid sequences had partial mutation.
