Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1995;0(03):-
Objective: To study the characterization of the cultured cervical cancer cell line transfected with anti- HPV16E6-ribozyme, and to investigate the effect of ribozyme on proliferation and apoptosis of cervical cancer cell. Metliods: Anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme had been designed to cleave the HPV16E6 gene. With the method of lipofectin transfec- tion, the anti-HPVI6E6-ribozyme and empty eucaryotic expressing plasmids were transfected into CaSKi cell, which named as CaSKi-R, CaSKi-P respectively. The amounts of E6 mRNA in the three kinds of cells were detected by northern blot. Cell cycle was detemined by flow cytometry, and cell apoptosis was examined by fluorescent (Hoechst) staining and TUNEL. The expression of some genes, including c-myc, bcl-2, p53, and fas, was also detected by flow cytometry analy- sis. Results: Northern blot showed that E6 mRNA was less in CaSKi-R than in CaSKi. In CaSKi-R cells, cycle was arres- ted in G1 phase, with decreasing in percentage of S phase cells. The apoptosis rate of CaSK1-R cell was much higher than those of CaSKi and CaSK1-P. Anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme could reduce the expression of E6, c-myc, bcl-2 genes on CaSKi- R cells, and increased the expression of p53. While this phenomenon was not found on the CaSK1-P cells. The expression of fas was similar in the three kinds of cells. Conclusion: Anti-HPVE6-rivozyme induces apoptosis of human cervical cancer CaSKi cells. The mechanisms may be the decrease of E6 gene's expression, and the succedent changing of some genes'expression.

Hemophagocytic syndrome is a group of fatal immune function disorder,which can be divided into primary and secondary HPS.The disease is complex,lacking of specificity,difficult in diagnosis with quick progress,high mortality and poor prognosis.The diagnosis is mainly based on the HPS-2004 diagnostic criteria,etoposide,dexamethasone and cyclosporine would be first chosen for treatment.This article reviews the clinical advances on etiology,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of hemophagocytic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the prognosis and its influencing factors of post-encephalitic epilepsy ( PEE) .Methods Fifty viral encephalitis patients with PEE were followed up, which prognosis was observed by whether their no seizures for at least 1 year or not.The clinical data of patients was collected, and the relate risk factors on the poor prognosis of PEE were analyzed.Results The disturbance of consciousness and the seizure presence during acute encephalitis, more than ten seizures in poor prognosis group were much higner than the good one (all P<0.01).The age, sex, seizure type, dysphrenia and neurological defect in acute encephalitis, status epileptisus in acute encephalitis, abnormal EEG and abnormal head CT/MRI had no correlation with poor prognosis ( all P>0.05 ) .Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that disturbance of consciousness during acute encephalitis、seizures presence in acute encephalitis were independent risk factors of poor outcome in PEE ( OR=7.269,95%CI:1.22 -43.35,P=0.029;OR =22.893,95%CI:4.02 -130.43,P=0.000).Conclusion Disturbance of consciousness during acute encephalitis, seizure presence in acute encephalitis both are the single risk factors of poor prognosis in PEE.

Assay"'of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA was conducted in the tissues of 60 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 30 patients with chronic inflamation of nasopharyngeal mucous membrane and 40 patients with other malignant epithelial tumor respectively using DNA in situ hybridization method. The positive rate of EBV-DNA in patients of NPC was 71.6%, while it was negative in pat ents with other malignant tumors a small number of EB-VDNA positive cells were also discovered in the epithelial cells of paratumours and chronic inflamation of nasopharyngeal mucous membrane. Significant correlation was found in the study of serum EBV-antiby in patients of NPC and EBV-DNA in cancer cells. The results suggest that EBV may be of etiologic significance in the pathogenesis of NPC.

Objective: To investigate the effects of HPV16E6-ribozyme on telomerase activity in cervical carcinoma cell line CaSKi and the related mechanisms. Methods: Anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme and blank eucaryotic plasmids were transfected into CaSKi cells via lipofectin, and the resultant cells were named as CaSKi-R and CaSKi-P, respectively. The expression of ribozyme in transfected cells was observed by RNA dot blotting. The expression of E6 mRNA and protein in the 3 kinds of cells were detected by Northern blotting and Western blotting, respectively. Telomerase activity was determined by TRAP-Elisa method; the expression of P53, c-myc, hTERT and hRT mRNA were examined by RT-PCR.Results: RNA dot blotting showed that anti-HPV16E6-ribozyme was stably expressed in transfected CaSKi-R cells. Western blotting showed that the expression of E6 mRNA and protein in CaSKi-R cells was obviously lower than that in CaSKi and CaSKi-P cells. The telomerase activities in CaSKi,CaSKi-P and CaSKi-R cells were (0.89?0.14), (0.90?0.11) and(0.36?0.06),respectively. The inhibitory rate of telomerase activity in CaSKi-R cells was 59.55%, which was significantly lower than those in CaSKi and CaSKi-P cells (P

Objective To explore the distribution,fundamental diseases,risk factors and drug-resistance of hospital- acquired infection caused by fungi in Department of Respiratory Medicine.Methods The clinical data of 142 patients were retrospectively reviewed,and then with statistical analysis was performed.Results The main pathogen which caused fungal hospital-acquired infection was Candida albicans. The most three possible fundamental diseases were chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,bronchiectasis and lung cancer. The main risk factors were lower resistibility of patients and invasive diagnostic and therapeutic measure. The fungus resistance was gradually rising.Conclusion The hospital infection caused by fungus should be emphasized in respiratory medicine department. In order to effectively prevent the hospital infection in respiratory medicine department,we should improve the basic conditions of patients,rationally diagnose and treat,and rationally use the drug against fungi.

Objective To investigate the incidence of dyssomnia,posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and their relationship in earthquake survivors in Jiangyou and Beichuan area,and supply evidence for prediction and treatment of PTSD.Methods Dyssomnia was accessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),posttraumatic symptoms were measured using the PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C).Results The prevalence of dyssomnia was 33.8%,the PTSD was 7.5%.In good sleep group,the number of people who didn't suffer from PTSD was 358 (96.5%),the number of people who suffered from PTSD was 13 (3.5%); In dyssomnia group,the number of people who didn't suffer from PTSD was 160(84.7%),the number of people who suffer from PTSD was 29(15.3%).In PTSD negative group,the number of people who had good sleep was 358 (69.1%); the number of people who had dyssomnia was 160 (30.9%).In PTSD positive group,the number of people who had good sleep was 13(31.0%),the number of people who had dyssomnia was 29(69.0%).The correlation analysis showed that total scores of PCL-C were positively related with total score of PSQI.The logistic regression showed that the very hard-hit area,serious posttraumatic symptoms,were the dangerous factors of dyssomnia.Conclusions The dyssomnia and PTSD are still common among victims two years after 5.12 earthquake.PTSD can cause sleeping problem,meanwhile sleep problem could increase the risk of PTSD.
