Objective To evaluate effects of human papilloma virus(HPV)16E7 on expressions of six tumor suppressor genes(including MT1G, NMES1, RRAD, SFRP1, SPARC and TFPI2)in a cell line SiHa, as well as on its proliferation and apoptosis. Methods SiHa cells were divided into two groups to be transfected with a small interfering RNA targeting HPV16E7(E7SiRNA, experimental group)and an empty vehicle(negative control group) respectively, with SiHa cells receiving no treatment serving as the blank control group. After 48 hours, qPCR was performed to measure the mRNA expressions of E7 and six tumor suppressor genes, CCK?8 assay to evaluate cellular proliferative activity, and flow cytometry to assess apoptosis of SiHa cells. Results At 48 hours after the transfection, the experimental group showed significantly decreased E7 mRNA expression(0.25 ± 0.036, P<0.05), but increased mRNA expressions of the six genes(MT1G 1.403 ± 0.190, NMES1 1.720 ± 0.060, RRAD 1.390 ± 0.160, SFRP1 1.493 ± 0.120, SPARC 2.157 ± 0.144, TFPI2 2.060 ± 0.122, all P < 0.05). The proliferative activity of SiHa cells was significantly decreased(0.554 ± 0.130 vs. 1.028 ± 0.236 and 1.220 ± 0.126, both P<0.05), but the apoptosis rate was significantly increased(9.222%vs. 0.246%and 0.123%, both P<0.05)in the experimental group compared with the negative control group and blank control group. No significant differences were observed between the negative control group and blank control group in proliferative activity or apoptosis rate of SiHa cells(both P>0.05). Conclusion E7 may participate in HPV16?induced cellular malignant transformation by suppressing the mRNA expressions of 6 tumor suppressor genes, including MT1G, NMES1, RRAD, SFRP1, SPAR and TFPI2.

Objective To explore the initial effects of the treatment of proximal femoral nail-helical blade (PFNA) in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the incomplete lateral wall type. Methods A total of 25 patients were enrolled in this study including 8 cases of type A2, 17 cases of type A3 according to AO classification. All patients under-went three-dimensional CT scan. In all patients with type A2 fracture, there were 6 cases with coronal plane fracture on the greater trochanter, and PFNA was used instead of DHS when an iatrogenic fracture occurred in 2 patients. All other patients were treated with closed reduction and fixed with PFNA. Results All patients healed and the average healing time was 11 weeks, one patient fell down once again and the fracture occurred on the shaft, when a long PFNA was used, both of the frac-tures healed 14 weeks after surgery. In all of the 25 patients,1 patient died due to cerebral hemorrhage 13 months after sur-gery;2 patients needed walking aids due to the presence of osteoarthritis of the knee and calf muscular venous thrombosis was diagnosed in 3 cases. No complications were found in the other patients, such as infection, nonunion and fixation failure. According to the Harris hip score system, there were 14 cases of“excellent”,8 cases of“good”,2 cases of“fair”and1 pa-tient of“poor”.Conclusion The PFNA treatment can provide a good fixation for intertrochanteric fractures of incomplete lateral wall type, which allow patients to do exercise early and achieve an excellent initial outcome.
