Objective To explore the role of humall papillomavims (HPV) type 16 E6 variants in the persistent infection and recurrence of the cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) after conization. Motheds During May to June 2012, 100 HSIL patients with HPV16 positive but negative at the margin after Loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) were selected from Shanghai People′s Hospital of Pudong District. The gene sequencing was done to the E6. The patients were followed up for 2 years. The E6 gene sequencing was done again to detect the HPV16 variants among those with persistent infections and recurrence. Results Among the 100 cases, E6 variants were detected, 81% of them HPV E6 variants Asian prototype, 14% European variant; 2% European prototype (EP) and 3% African variant 1. LEEP for Asian prototype was susceptible to the clearance of HPV16 (P < 0.001). The European variants of T350G, and A442C were correlated with persistent infection and recurrence (P < 0.001). Conclusion The HPV16 variant is closely related to the HSIL incidence. HSIL caused by HPV16 in Pudong New Area of Shanghai belong to the Asian type variant. The European variants of E6 , T350G/A442C were likely related to the recurrence of HPV16.

Objective To evaluate the optimum ratio of medicine dosage for dexmedetomidine mixed with sufentanil used for patient?controlled intravenous analgesia ( PCIA) after Nuss procedure in pedi?atric patients with pectus excavatum. Methods Sixty pediatric patients diagnosed with pectus excavatum, aged 5-12 yr, weighing 18-50 kg, of ASA physical statusⅠorⅡ, scheduled for elective Nuss procedure under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 3 equal groups using a random number table:different ratios of medicine dosage while dexmedetomidine was added to sufentanil groups ( SD1-3 groups) . Postopera?tive analgesia was as follows: group SD1 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg + dexmedetomidine 2 μg∕kg; group SD2 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg + dexmedetomidine 3 μg∕kg; group SD3 received sufentanil 1 μg∕kg +dexmedetomidine 4 μg∕kg. A mixture of tropisetron 0?1 mg∕kg and dexamethasone 0?1 mg∕kg ( in 100 ml of normal saline) was added in each group. The PCA pump was programmed to deliver 0?5 ml with a lockout interval of 15 min and background infusion at 2 ml∕h. The PCA pump was connected immediately after the end of operation, and sufentanil with a dosage of 0?1μg∕kg was used as a rescue analgesic within 48 h post?operatively. The VAS score was maintained below 4. The requirement for rescue analgesics was recorded. The Ramsay sedation scores was recorded at 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 h postoperatively, and the occurrence of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, bradycardia, over?sedation, respiratory depression, agitation and shivering was recorded within 48 h after surgery. Results No pediatric patients developed nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, bradycardia, over?sedation, and shivering. No pediatric patients required rescue analgesics in SD2 and SD3 groups. Compared with group SD1 , the requirement for rescue analgesics and incidence of agitation were significantly decreased, and Ramsay sedation scores were increased at 4 and 8 h after operation in SD2 and SD3 groups. Ramsay sedation scores were significantly higher at 4 h after oper?ation in SD3 group than in SD2 group. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine 3 μg∕kg mixed with sufentanil 1μg∕kg is the optimum ratio of medicine dosage when used for PCIA after Nuss procedure in pediatric patients with pectus excavatum.
