Objective To explore the relationship of signal transduction among human papillomavirus 18 E6 oncoprotein (HPV18E6), signal transducers and activators of transcription 1 (STAT1), protein kinase R( PKR )/α subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 ( eIF2α ), nuclear factor-kappa Bp65 ( NF-κBp65 ), mitogen-activated protein kinase( MAPK)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) ,and possible molecular mechanism. Methods Construct two lentiviral vectors which contain shRNA interfering sequence aiming at the targets of HPV18E6 oncogene and NC sequence( HPV18E6-RNAi-LV, NC-GFP-LV), based on the transduction with HPV18E6-RNAi-LV and NC-GFP-LV into HeLa cell to interfere the expression of HPV18E6 oncogene and NC sequence,the expressions of mRNA and protein( including phosphating patem)of HPV18E6, STATI, PKR, eIF2α, NF-κBp65, MAPK, JNK are measured with RT-PCR and Western blot, the difference of proliferation and sensitivity to carboplatin of HeLa cell are determined with Transwell cell methods and MTT among every groups. Results The expression of HPV18E6 oncogene can affect the expression level of mRNA and protein of NF-κBp65 and PKR genes, also affect phosphating levels of phosphating protein p-STAT1, p-PKR and p-eIF2α;the restraining rates of proliferation and sensitivity to carboplatin of HeLa cell are higher in HPV18E6-RNAi-LV group than the other groups( P＜0. 05 or P＜0.01 ). Conclusion HPV18E6 oncoprotein not only reduces the expression of PKR but dephosphorylates p-STAT1, pPKR and p-eIF2α to restrain activation of PKR/eIF2α signal transduction passage, maintain the proliferation and invading ability of HeLa cell and restrain apoptosis. The signal transduction among HPV18E6, MAPK/JNK are not clear.

Objective To investigate the clinical and CT manifestations of iatrogenic hepatic subcapsular biloma (HSB).Methods Seven cases with iatrogenic HSB confirmed by paracentesis in our hospital,and 18 reported in literatures were enrolled into this study.Their clinical and CT manifestations were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of the 25 cases,9 were secondary to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC),5 were secondary to percutaneous transhepatic choleductus drainage (PTCD),4 were secondary to percutaneous transhe-patic removal of bile duct stones,2 were secondary to open cholecystectomy,and 5 were secondary to other surgeries.CT showed localized or diffused hepatic subcapsular fluid collection with crescent-shaped or sac-shaped.The hepatic volume decreased and the surface was compressed in some of the cases with diffused fluid collection.Conclusion When localized or diffused hepatic subcapsular fluid collection was detected in CT imaging after liver or gallbladder surgeries (especially LC and PTCD),HSB should be considered.Paracentesis should be performed as soon as possible.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of synthetic MRI methods in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions.Methods:Clinical and imaging data of 93 breast patients confirmed by pathology in the Second Affifiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University from May 2019 to April 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent synthetic MRI technique, and the quantitative parameters of T 1, T 2, and proton density (PD) values were measured. Independent samples t-test and Wilcoxon test were used to compare the differences in clinical and imaging characteristics between the benign and malignant breast lesions. ROC curve was used for the comparison of the diagnostic efficacy of the quantitative parameters in differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions. Results:Of the 93 patients with breast lesions, 62 cases were malignant and 31 cases were benign. The quantitative T 2 values for benign and malignant lesions were 103 (93, 126)ms and 83 (77, 90)ms respectively, and the quantitative PD values were 87.7 (72.7, 96.7)pu and 73.5(63.3, 79.4)pu respectively. There were statistically significant differences between benign and malignant lesion( P<0.05). Taking quantitative T 2 values of 90.5 ms and PD values of 84.8 pu as the cut-off value, the area under the ROC curve in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions were 0.87 and 0.75, accuracy values were 80.6% and 78.5%, specificity values were 87.1% and 54.8%, sensitivity values were 77.4% and 90.3% respectively. Conclusion:Synthetic MRI methods can be applied in the examination of breast lesions and has the potential to be an effective diagnostic method for the differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions of breast.

Objective:To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of receptor-associated protein at the synapse ( rapsyn ) with myasthenia gravis ( MG ).Methods: The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells , sampled from 132 patients with MG and 153 control individuals.The 8 exons of rapsyn gene were amplified by PCR ,then the products of PCR sequenced directly.Each sequence was compared with wild-type rapsyn gene , and the association between mutation and clinical symptoms of MG analysed.Results:No mutation was found in the exons 1,2,4,5,6,7,and 8 of rapsyn gene both in MG patients and control group compared with the wild-type rapsyn gene.However,a new SNP,L222R[CTG>CGG(2)] or T665G,was found in exon-3.The allele and genotype frequencies of SNP L 222R met Hardy-Weinberg genetic equilibrium (P>0.05),indicating the group repre-sentativeness.The allele frequencies of G were not statistically different between patient and control groups ( P>0.05 ).There were differences in the 3 genotypes TT , TG and GG between patient ( 42.4% vs 48.5% vs 9.1%) and control ( 49.0% vs 33.3% vs 17.6%) groups ( P<0.05 ).The genotype frequencies of GG were statistically higher in control group than that in patient group , showing a recessive model of inheritance.Conclusion: The SNPs in the rapsyn gene are associated with MG in this study.L222R ( T665 G) is a new SNP found and allele G might be a protective factor for MG.
