Objective To detect the infection rate of human papillomavirus (HPV) types in keratoacanthoma (KA) tissue, and to study the distribution of HPV DNA-positive cells. Methods In situ hybridization was performed to detect HPV subtypes 6/11, 16/18, and 31/33 in paraffin-embeded tissue samples from 46 patients with KA and 34 nomal human controls. Results Mucosal HPV DNA was positive in 31 (67.39%)of the 46 KA samples, and mixed infection rate of HPV amounted to 83.87% (26/31) in these positive samples.The DNA of tested mucosal HPV types existed mainly in episomal status. Positive reactions were observed within or at the edge of nuclei. HPV infected cells showed a stripe-, slice-like or focal distribution mainly in superficial middle lamina of spinous layer at the bottom or lateral margin of crater-shaped epidermal depression. No mucosal HPV DNA was noted in normal control samples. Conclusions Compared with normal controls, patients with KA are infected with mucosal HPV at a higher frequency, and mucosal HPV DNA mainly exists in episomal status in KA tissue, hinting that HPV infection play a certain role in the pathogenesis of KA.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of ATP on cultured human stomach carcinoma MGC-803 cells. After ATP(0.16—0.23 mg/ml, 24—120 hrs)treatment, inhibition of cell growth rate was observed. The inhibition rate reached 80% after 96 hr exposure to ATP. At the same time, anti-tubulin immunofluorescent staining showed increase of organized microtubules (MT) in ATP-treated MGC-803 cells, in contrast with the poor MT immunofluorescence in control MGC-803 cells. By using rhodamie phalloidin combined staining, increased number of actin bundles, took the place of actin dots and patches which were seen in control MGC-803 cells. Immunofluorescent staining of fibronectin in ATP-treated MGC-803 cells was also increased evidently as compared with the control MGC-803 cells. Concomitant with the improvement of MT and stress fiber organization, the cell Concohas become more flattened. It appeared that the increase of MT and stress fibers was closely related to the recovery of cell morphology in ATP treated tumor cells. It is therefore concluded that ATP not only may inhibit tumor cell proliferation, but also may induce differentiation of cell morphology of tumor cells through its action on cytoskeletal structures.

To explore the self-organization robustness of the biological neural network, and thus to provide new ideas and methods for the electromagnetic bionic protection, we studied both the information transmission mechanism of neural network and spike timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) mechanism, and then investigated the relationship between synaptic plastic and adaptive characteristic of biology. Then a feedforward neural network with the Izhikevich model and the STDP mechanism was constructed, and the adaptive robust capacity of the network was analyzed. Simulation results showed that the neural network based on STDP mechanism had good rubustness capacity, and this characteristics is closely related to the STDP mechanisms. Based on this simulation work, the cell circuit with neurons and synaptic circuit which can simulate the information processing mechanisms of biological nervous system will be further built, then the electronic circuits with adaptive robustness will be designed based on the cell circuit.
