Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) infec?tion among women through health screenings in Tianjin urban area. Methods A total of 2 000 women from Tianjin urban area were recruited for this study, and potential risk factors were investigated by questionnaire as well as by collecting cervi?cal exfoliated cells from the participants. HPV type was examined using polymerase chain reaction and pyrosequencing tech?nology, then the risk factors of HPV16 infection were examined by chi square test and the multiple factor logistic regression analysis. Results Among those 2 000 women who received health screenings, a total of 271 cases were HPV positive (13.55%). HPV16 accounts for the most common human papillomavirus types (39.5%, 107/271) while HPV58 account for 15.13%(41/271)and HPV18 account for 9.59% (26/271). Factors related to HPV16 infection were investigated include smoking history, initial age of sex (>25 years old or not) , number of pregnancies (≥2 or not), number of sexual partners (≥2 or not) and contraception measures (condom or other ways) with χ2=6.268,8.540,4.951,7.123,6.053,5.019, respectively. (P < 0.05). Age, alcohol intake, education level and previous gynecologial examination did not differ significantly among HPV16 positive patients compared to those with negative HPV. Multiple factor Logistic regression model analysis showed that the independent factors were smoking history and initial age for sex(≤25 years old)(P<0.05). Conclusion HPV16 is the most common type of cervical infection among women in Tianjin urban area. Changing inappropriate sexual behavior and smoking cessation are effective measures to prevent HPV16 infection and reduce incidence of cervical cancer.

OBEJECTIVE Gecko has been clinically used in China for many years. It has been proved that the gecko polypeptide mixture(GPM)extracted from gecko could inhibit the growth of multiple types of tumor cells.In order to investigate the possible anti-tumor molecular mechanisms of GPM,we used RNA-seq technology to identify the differentially expressed genes of human hepatocellular carci-noma(HCC)HepG2 cells treated with or without GPM.METHODS The HepG2 cells were treated with different concentration of GPM(0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 mg·mL-1)for 6 h,12 h and 24 h,respectively.MTT assay was used to detect the viability of HepG2 cells. DAPI fluorescence staining was performed to observe nucleus morphological changes of HepG2 cells.Western blot analysis was applied to observe the expres-sion of apoptosis- related proteins and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs)-related proteins in HepG2 cells.Flow cytometry was also applied to detect reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation.In this report, we showed that GPM could induce HepG2 cells apoptosis and influence HepG2 cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.We applied many analysis methods,including differentially expressed genes analysis,Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis,KEGG pathway enrichment analysis,protein-protein interaction network analysis to screen out possible molecular mechanisms.RESULTS ER-nucleus signaling pathway, cellular response to stress and apoptotic processes were identified the potential anti-cancer molecular biological process of GPM.GPM may also induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells via endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway. The GPM could induce ROS generation and up-regulate ERs-related proteins. CONCLUSION The present study revealed the potential anti-tumor mechanism of GPM.
