Objective To study the mutation of papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E6 gene, and to compare with the result of other researchers. Methods DNA was extracted from cervical cancer tissue sam-pies, then HPV16 E6 genes were amplified and sequenced using the HPV16 E6 specific primers from cervi-cal cancer DNA samples. Results HPV16 E6 gene mutations at the position of nt178 were found in 18 case from 35 cervical cancer samples, the mutation rate was 51.43%, resulting in nucleotide change of Asp to Glu. E6 mutations are found at the position of nt442 in 4 cervical samples. E6 mutation was found in 1 to 2 case in other nucleotide. Conclusion High frequency mutations of E6 gene of HPV16 at the position of nt178, nt442 have been found in cervical cancer samples in Hubei, China. The role of E6 gene mutation in cervical cancer development should be studied further.

BACKGROUND:The traditional orthopedic fixation by C-arm positioning surface is completed, but the large C-arm injury on the human body and the long fixed time increase the suffering of patients. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the X-ray fixed in position within the orthopedic implants, navigation and effect. METHODS:Twenty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into C-arm machine group and X-ray group, with 13 in each group. Rabbits in both groups were used to simulate soft tissue foreign body localization, intramedul ary nail implantation at distal fracture end and spinal pedicle screw entry point position. In the C-arm machine group, positioning navigation was conducted with C-arm machine. In the X-ray group, X-ray positioning navigation was used. The positioning and navigation effects were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Compared with the C-arm machine group, the time required for navigation in the X-ray group targeting soft tissue foreign body localization, fracture distal locking intramedul ary nail implantation and pedicle screw spinal needle point location was significantly shorter (P<0.05);navigation displacement and deviation produced were significantly less (P<0.05). (2) These findings suggested that the X-ray positioning for orthopedic fixation method is relatively simple, with high availability, and can obtain a high performance-price ratio. Meanwhile, the X-ray localization can improve accuracy and shorten the fixed time.

Results: The superfined powders of ginseng, boat fruited sterculia seed and balsam pear are successfully prepared to guarantee 10～15?m in diameter. Conclusions: It is very effective to pulverize Chinese herbal medicine with this device in mass production.

Objective To understand endemic diversity on schistosomiasis transmission after reserving plain for flooding. Methods In two study pilots, Jicheng and Qingshanhu, epidemiological factors were investigated longitudinally, and the effectiveness of the interventions was evaluated. Results The infection rates of mobile people who engaged in activities in the discarded plain were increased year by year. The density of infected snails was high. The snail habitats increased significantly in Jicheng, but decreased in Qingshanhu. The infection rate and number of livestock pastured in the discarded plain increased. In the discarded plain, most of the mobile people came from the local areas, and main activities for water contact were fishing and pasturing. About 90% of local residents migrated into endemic areas, and the others into non-endemic areas. Conclusions The discarded plains were evolving to a serious transmission zone of schistosomiasis. Interventions combined with agriculture and fisher productions can decrease snail-spreading. Schistosomiasis examination and chemotherapy for the migrants to non-endemic areas are vital.

OBJECTIVE:To determine the content of ceftazidime in renal dialysate effluent in burn patients.METHODS:HPLC was used.The sample was separated on Bondapak-C18 analysis column with a mobile phase of mixture of methanol-ammonium acetate(17∶83,V/V).The flow rate was 1.0ml/min.The UV detector wavelength was set at 254nm.RESULTS:A linearity was obtained from 0.5～100?g/ml with a good correlation(r=0.9 999).The RSDs of inter-day and intra-day precision were not more than 3.The average recovery was 100.30%.CONCLUSION:The method is simple,rapid and accurate.

Objective To investigate the expression and clinicopathological significance of CXCR4 and HIF-1α protein in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and explore their correlation.Methods The expression of CXCR4 and HIF-1α protein were assessed by immunohistochemistry SP method in 56 cases with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and in 20 cases with surrounded normal tissue.Results The expressions of CXCR4 and HIF-lα in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were significantly higher than those in normal tissues[62.50 ％ (35/56) vs 10.00 ％ (2/20); 57.14 ％ (32/56) vs 0(0/20)](x2=16.259,19.740,P ＜0.01).The expression of CXCR4 and HIF-1α were both correlated with invasion depth (x2 =4.736,7.665,P ＜0.05) and lymph node metastasis ( x2 =7.207,6.389,P ＜0.05),and had no correlation with cancer cell differentiation.The expressions of CXCR4 and HIF-lα in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were positively correlated (r =0.298,P ＜0.05).Conclusion CXCR4 and HIF-1α are highly expressed in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.The two have a close relation to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma growth,invasion and metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effects of hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO)exposure on Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 mRNA ex-pressions in both internal carotid artery (ICA)and basal artery (BA)in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four healthy adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups:HBO group and the control group,with each group consisted of 12 animals.The rab-bits in the HBO group were exposed to HBO at 2.2 ATA for 60 minutes each day for 3 successive days.The rabbits in the control group were normally fed without any treatment.Real-time PCR was used to detect Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 mRNA expressions in both ICA and BA in 2 groups.Results HBO significantly decreased the Caspase-3 mRNA expression [(0.038 ±0.006 )vs .(1.000 ± 0.225)]and increased the Bcl-2 mRNA expression [(1.877 ±0.1 69)vs .(1.000 ±0.364)].In ICA,HBO similarly decreased the Caspase-3 mRNA expression [(0.41 9±0.091)vs .(1.000 ±0.1 75)]and increased the Bcl-2 mRNA expression [(1.269 ±0.270) vs .(1.000±0.1 1 7)]in BA.All the differences mentioned above were of statistical significance (P <0.01).Conclusion HBO ex-erts an inhibition effect on apoptosis in cerebral vascular endothelial cells.The mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expres-sion of Caspase-3 mRNA and promoting the expression of Bcl-2 mRNA.

Objective To analyze the mutation of PreS-S region in occult hepatitis B virus(OHBV) in HBV infected persons with positive HBsAb and investigate the biological mechanisms of the special infectious model.Methods A total of 38 HB-sAb positive OBI serum samples were amplified by Nested PCR and sequenced,HBV genotype and serotype were determined.The amino acid sequences of OHBV were compared to the corresponding sequence of wild-type strains of similar genotype obtained from the GenBank database.Results PreS-S segment of 11 samples were obtained and 8 samples were sequenced successfully.Among which,5 were genotype C and 3 were genotype B.Genotype B were all serotype adw,while genotype C were 1 adw and 4 adr.The mutation rates of PreS-S region,the immunoreactive area and the major hydrophilic region (MHR) were higher in OHBV than the wild-type strains (2.6％ vs 0.8％,x2 =40.23,3.2％ vs 0.3％,x2 =52.13,3.6％ vs 0.6％,x2 =13.25,all P＜0.01) and the substitutions of I126T,Q129R,M133T,F134I,D144E,G145K in α determinant were found in OBI samples.The mutation rate of amino acids in PreS-S region was higher in genotype C than genotype B (3.5％ vs 1.2％,x2--15.98,P＜0.01),meanwhile,the mutation rates in MHR,α determinant and immunoreactive region were higher in genotype C too,but no statistical significance was attained (4.7％ vs 1.7 ％,x2 =2.96,3.6 ％ vs 2.9％,x2 =0.25,4.1％ vs 2.3％,x2 =3.59,all P ＞0.05).Conclusion Mutations in PreS-S region,especially in immunoepitope,might change the virus'immunogenicity leading to escape from immune response and cause OBI with HBsAb positive.
