Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic characteristics of and HPV subtypes in vulvar condyloma acuminatum(CA)and subclinical HPV infection.Methods Eighty patients with a positive acetowhite test and suspected subclinical HPV infection were selected from 272 patients with typical CA lesions in perianal and external genital region.Tissue specimens were obtained from typical CA and suspected subclinical HPV-infected lesions followed by pathological examination and HPV-DNA detection.Finally,71 patients were confirmed to suffer from both CA and subclinical HPV infection.A comparative analysis was performed to assess the differences in histopathological manifestation and HPV genotypes between CA and subclinical infection lesions.Results Pathological examination revealed typical histological changes of CA in 71(88.75％)typical CA specimens and 4(5％)suspected subclinical infection specimens,as well as squamous dysplasia in 9(11.25％)CA specimens and 71(88.75％)suspected subclinical infection specimens.HPV-DNA was positive in all(80)of the CA specimens and 93.75％(75)of the suspected subclinical infection specimens,negative in 5(6.25％)suspected subclinical infection specimens.Obvious differences were observed in pathological manifestation,koilocyte number(P ＜ 0.05),but not in the distribution of HPV subtypes(P ＞ 0.05),between typical CA and concurrent subclinical HPV infection lesions in patients.Conclusion The diagnosis of subclinical HPV infection should be based on the result of acetowhite test,with the results of pathological examination and HPV DNA detection as an adjuvant.

Objective:To investigate the differences in related indices of ulcerative colitis (UC) respectively induced by free drinking and intragastric administration of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) in mice to provide experimental reference for the optimization of UC model.Methods:Totally 30 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the normal control group,free drinking group and intragastric administration group with 10 ones in each.The mice drank water freely with free drinking or intragastric administration of 3% DSS solution at the dose of 4 g·kg-1·day-1 for 7 days to establish the UC model.The differences in disease activity index (DAI),histological damage sore and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO) among the groups were compared.Results:Two mice died during the experiment in the free drinking group,and DAI of survival mice was (8.8±1.6).There was no death of mice in intragastric administration group,and DAI was (9.0±0.8),and there was no significant difference in DAI between the groups (P>0.05),while the coefficient of variation in the free drinking group was higher than that in the intragastric administration group (18.7 vs 8.6).The colonic histological damage score of the free drinking group and the intragastric administration group was 24.8±4.2 and 27.0±2.8,respectively,which was typical inflammatory change with no significant difference (P>0.05),while the coefficient of variation of the free drinking group was higher than that of the intragastric administration group (16.9 vs 10.4).MPO of the normal control group,free drinking group and intragastric administration group was (0.41±0.03),(2.32±0.34) and (2.05±0.18) U·g-1,respectively.Compared with the normal control group,significant difference in MPO was shown in the free drinking group and the intragastric administration group (P<0.01),while there was no significant difference in MPO between the groups (P>0.05),and the coefficient of variation in the free drinking group was higher than that in the intragastric administration group (14.7 vs 8.8).Conclusion:Both free drinking and intragastric administration of DSS can successfully induce the UC model in mice.Compared with the free drinking group,the intragastric administration group has low mortality rate and low coefficient of variation.Therefore,intragastric administration has more advantages than free drinking in inducing the UC model in mice.

JNK2 deficiency impaired the antitumor effects of NK cells , and then resulted in enhanced tumor growth in JNK2-/-mice.Conclusion JNK2 signaling pathway is involved in the NKG2 D-mediated activation of NK cells and regulates immune surveillance of NK cells against tumor .

Objective To evaluate the value of PET/CT in preoperative assessment and postoperative monitoring of ovarian cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted in 45 patients of ovarian neoplasm with clinical records underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT, including 10 patients underwent PET/CT before surgery and 35 patients after surgery. The clinical follow-up time was 6 months at least. The diagnosis based on pathology and clinical follow-up data. Results (1) The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of PET/CT in detecting ovarian cancer were 94.6%,75.0%and 91.1%, respectively. (2) Ten patients before surgery were all detected tumor by PET/CT, but 2 of them were false positive based on pathologic results. (3) Two patients with non-standard surgery were detected tumor by PET/CT. In 33 patients after standard surgery, 6 patients were no tumor detected by PET/CT. In addition,4 patients with normal CA125 and no signs of recurrence and metastasis were detected tumor by PET/CT. The pathology and clinical follow-up data supported the results. 23 patients with higher CA125 were diagnosed recurrence and metastasis based on pathology and clinical follow-up data, 21 of them were detected tumor by PET/CT. Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT plays an important role in preoperative assessment, early diagnosis and accurate positioning of recurrent and metastasis of ovarian cancer. It can be used to guide the clinical treatment.

The interaction between warfarin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) under pseudophysiological conditions was investigated by UV-Vis absorption spectrometry and spectrofluorimetry. The quenching mechanism of BSA by warfarin was discussed. It showed that the quenching process was a dynamic quenching, and the quenching constants were 6.05 x 10(4) L x mol(-1) at 16 degrees C and 6. 14 x 10(4) L x mol(-1) at 37 degrees C, separately. Based on the Förster theory of non-radiative energy transfer, the energy transfer efficiency and the distance of BSA to warfarin were calculated, which was 0.37 and 3.15 nm, respectively.

Background RGD is a small molecular multiple peptide containing Arg-Gly-Asp with an important role in inhibiting the adhesion,migration and neovascularization of tumor.Our previous study determined that RGD can suppress the adhesion and proliferation of lens epithelial cells(LECs),and RGDRGD may be of a stronger effect. Objective Present study was to investigate and compare the effect of RGDRGD peptide on the proliferation and adhesion of immortalized human LECs(HLEB-3)in vitro. Methods Human LECs harvested by trpsin-EDTA were suspended in DMEM medium with serial dilutions of RGD peptide and RGDRGD peptide(from 1000 mg/L to 250 mg/L)at 37℃ for 15 minutes as experimental group,and the HLECs cultured by common culture medium were used as the control group.The cells were then seeded into the 96-well plates with precoated fibmnectin (FN)and I collagen at the density of 2×104/ml.MTT stainingcolorimetry was used to measure the adhesion rates of lens epithelial cells cultured in different concentrations RGDRGD and RGD peptides after 1 hour.Cells were seeded into the 96-well plates for 24 hours at 37℃ in 5% CO2.Medium was then replaced with DMEM overnight.Subsequently,the cells were treated with serial dilutions of RGD and RGDRGD(from 2000 mg/L to 250 ms/L)dissolved in DMEM medium plus 20% fetal bovine serum.The inhibition of RGDRGD and RGD on the adhesion and proliferation of Human LECs was analyzed by MTT aher 24,48 and 72 hours. Results The inhibition rate of RGD peptide on the adhesion of LECs was gradually enhanced with the increase of concentration with the significant difference among the different concentrations groups(F=1089.56,P＜0.01),and the statistically significant elevation in inhibitory rate was found in RGDRGD peptide compared with RGD peptide(P＜0.01).The inhibition rate of RGDRGD peptide on the proliferation of LECs wag gradually increased with the increase of concentration with the significant difference among the different concentrations groups with a strongest effect in 1000 ms/L group(F=127.31,P＜0.01),and the much stronger inhibition Wag Been in RGDRGD peptide(F=1589.85,P＜0.01).The suppression rate of RGDRGD on LECs proliferation Wag much stronger with the prolong of time(F=1606.43,P＜0.01). Conclusion RGDRGD peptide and RGD peptide have inhibitory effect on adhesion and proliferation of human LECs in a dose-and time-dependent manner.Effect of RGDRGD peptide is much stronger than RGD peptide.These results imply that RGDRGD peptide and RGD peptide have the important role for prevention of PCO.
