Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(4):466-469
Objective To analyze the differences of positive detection rate and copy number of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA and E6/E7 mRNA between different grades of cervical lesions, and evaluate their clinical values in early screen?ing of cervical cancer. Methods The cervical exfoliated cell samples from 154 women undergoing biopsy examination and 32 objects undergoing hysterectomy (control group) were collected in Tianjin Central Hospital of Gynecology Obstetrics in 2014. According to the pathological results of cervical biopsy, 154 samples were divided into low-grade squamous intraepi?thelial lesion group (LSIL, n=51), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion group (HSIL, n=71), and squamous cell carci?noma group (SCC, n=32). HPV DNA was tested with hybrid capture technology, and E6/E7 mRNA was detected with fluores?cence quantitative hybridization. Immunohistochemistry was performed by detecting E6/E7 protein in all patients after sur?gery or cervical biopsy. Results Combined results of HPV DNA and E6/E7 mRNA demonstrated that the positive detection rate was significantly lower in control group than that of all levels of lesion groups (P<0.05). The copy number of high risk HPV E6/E7 mRNA was significantly increased with the aggravation of lesions (P<0.05), whereas no difference was found in that of HPV DNA. Compared with the normal control and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion group, cervical cancer patients with mRNA copies > 10 000 E6/E7 were significantly increased in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion group. Immunohistochemical results showed that the positive detection rate of E6/E7 was significantly lower in control group than that of all levels of lesion groups (P<0.05). The positive rate of E6/E7 was significantly higher in the high-grade squa?mous intraepithelial lesion group than that of low-grade group (P<0.05). Conclusion HPV infection is closely related to cervical abnormalities, which is one of effective measures for early screening of cervical cancer. The negative result of HPV DNA is very helpful to exclude the cervical abnormality, whereas the positive detection of mRNA has great value in predict?ing the disease. Combined results of positive detection and copy number make a comprehensive evaluation for the risk of cer?vical lesions.

Objective To investigate the cytidylyl phosphate guanosine(CpG) islands methylation status of E-cadherin (E-cad) promoter region in human ovarian carcinoma cell lines (ES-2,3 AO, SKOV3 ), and the effect of 5-azacytidine-2 '-deoxycytidines (5-Aza-CdR ) on the cell proliferative ability, invasion and the expression of E-cad protein. Methods Methylation specific PCR(MSP) was used to detect CpG islands methylation status of E-cad promoter region in ES-2,3AO and SKOV3 cell lines. After treated with different concentrations of 5-Aza-CdR, morphological changes of cell lines were observed under microscope. The proliferative ability was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay. E-cad protein expression was detected by western-blot and cellular invasion was investigated by 24-well matrigel invasion chambers. Results Hypermethylatian status of CpG islands of E-cad promoter region was observed in ES-2 and SKOV3 cell lines, but not in 3AO cell lines. After treated with 5-Aza-CdR (0.1,1.0,10.0 μmol/L), ES-2 and SKOV3 cell lines displayed morphological evidence of differentiation. 5-Aza-CdR was found to decrease proliferation as evidenced by cell growth curve , to increase the level of E-cad protein expression (P < 0.01 ), and effectively inhibit the ability of cell invasion(P <0.01 ). Conclusions CpG hypermethylation is an important mechanism of E-cad gene inactivation in ES-2 and SKOV3 cell lines. 5-Aza-CdR be found to inhibit proliferation and invasion, and increase the expression of E-cad probably by the inhibition of hypermethylation.

Objective:To observe the changes of choriocapillary blood flow area (CBFA) and diameter of ellipsoid zone absence (DEZA) of eyes with idiopathic macular hole (IMH) before and after surgery and its correlation with visual function.Methods:A prospective study. From May 2019 to January 2020, 23 IMH patients (IMH group and fellow eyes group) diagnosed in the Department of Opthalmology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, and 30 age and gender-matched normal controls (30 eyes, control group) were included in this study. All patients were examined the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before and after surgery. The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard Snellen visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) BCVA for record. CBFA and DEZA were obtained by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). CBFA was measured on the choriocapillary with a circle of 1.0 mm radius centered in the fovea. DEZA was the diameter of ellipsoid zone absence horizontally. The differences of CBFA and logMAR BCVA in the three groups, and the changes of CBFA, DEZA, logMAR BCVA in IMH group before and after surgery were analyzed. The measurement data between the three groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance, and the independent samples t test was used for the comparison between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used for the correlation between the index, multiple linear regression analysis were performed between postoperative visual acuity and preoperative parameters. Results:Before and 6 months after surgery, the logMAR BCVA in IMH group were 1.26±0.7 and 0.48±0.22, CBFA were 1.49±0.30 and 1.92±0.17 mm 2, DEZA were 1 080.22±576.98 and 433.78±423.04 μm, respectively. Compared with those before surgery, BCVA and CBFA were significantly improved, DEZA obviously decreased and the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.53, 7.77, 6.58; P<0.01). CBFA in IMH group was lower than fellow eyes group and control group, the difference was statistically significant ( F=14.13, P<0.01). After surgery, CBFA in IMH group increased similar to that of fellow eyes group ( t=4.32, P=0.37), but lower than that of control group with the significant difference ( t=4.07, P<0.01). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that logMAR BCVA and DEZA were positively correlated ( r=0.69, 0.75; P<0.01), CBFA and DEZA were negatively correlated ( r= -0.49, -0.89; P<0.05) before and after surgery. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the postoperative logMAR BCVA was positively correlated with DEZA ( t=2.32, P=0.02). Conclusions:After surgery, BCVA and CBFA of IMH eyes are significantly increased, DEZA is obviously reduced. Before and after surgery, logMAR BCVA is positively correlated with DEZA, and CBFA is negatively correlated with DEZA.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of MTAP, CDKN2A and CDKN2B gene expression in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Methods MTAP, CDKN2A and CDKN2B gene expression were assessed by Real-time quantitative PCR in 40 cases of DLBCL and 19 cases of reactive hyperplasia. The clinical and follow-up data were also collected. Results Comparing with reactive hyperplasia, MTAP, CDKN2A and CDKN2B gene expression were decreased in DLBCL group (P = 0.024,0.044 and 0.047, respectively). Low-expression of all the three genes were associated with advanced Ann Arbor stage (P=0.004, 0.001 and 0.027, respectively). No obvious difference were observed according to gender, age, the number of the extra-nodal infiltration, ECOG score, bone marrow involvement and serum LDH level (P >0.05). MTAP and CDKN2A gene expression were associated with B symptoms (P =0.003 and 0.028, respectively) and IPI scores (P =0.001 and 0.011, respectively). With regard to survival rates,MTAP, CDKN2A and CDKN2B gene expression were significantly associated with OS (P =0.022, 0.019 and 0.042, respectively). Conclusion MTAP, CDKN2A and CDKN2B gene expression in DLBCL were decreased and related to disease progression and prognosis. They could be considered as biomarkers to evaluate biological behavior and clinical outcome of DLBCL patients.
