Objective To investigate the relationship between human papilloma virus(HPV)infection and the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC).Methods To elucidate the role of HPV in the development of LSCC,we employed polymerase chain reaction(PCR)based on four pairs of primers an4 in situ hybridization(ISH)to screen the HPV infection in 84 ISCC tissues.Results Using HPV L1 general primer amplification,HPV DNA was detected in 23(27.4%)of the 84 LSCC samples.However,when specific primers for HPV-16 or-18 were used to amplify E6 and E7 in all samples,29 cases(34.5%)were positive for HPV-16,while 6 cases(7.1%)were positive for HPV 18.Coinfeetion of HPV-16 and-18 were found in 4cases (4.8%).Overall,HPV type 16 and 18 infections were present in 36.9% of the LSCC samples.In addition,the positive rate of HPV 16 E6 mRNA was 30.9%(26/84)in LSCC by ISH with digoxin-labeled sense probes of HPV 16 E6.Conclusion High-risk HPV-16may be an etiologic factor in the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, while the complicated molecular mechanism of HPV16 inducedtumorgenesis needs a further study.

Conclusion 18 F-FDG PET combined with thin layer CT scanning is a very effective method to clinical diagnosis the malignant degree of SPN.

Objective To observe the external morphology of Histiostoma feroniarum hypopus under a light microscope. Methods The samples were collected in a mushroom cultivation base,and the H. feroniarum hypopus was isolated and puri?fied. The slide samples were prepared and observed under an optical microscope. Results The back body of the H. feroniarum hypopus was flat with tiny bristles,the epidermis was of significant ossification,the ventral had four pairs of slender feet stretched,the sucker plate was prosperous in the end of the body,and the sucker plate had eight suckers. The gnathosoma was thin,long and highly specialized. Conclusion The light microscopy shows the morphological characteristics of H. feroniarum hypopus,providing the basis for identifying and life cycle study.

Objective To observe the effects of low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-TMS) on the electroencephalogram (EEG),expression of NPY in hippocampus in pilocarpine (PLO)-induced epileptic rats. Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats (240-260 g) were used to establish a model of epilepsy by in- tradominal injection of pilocarpine,and then randomized into 2 groups:a control group and an intervention group. The control group was treated by sham LF-TMS,while the intervention group was treated by LF-TMS once daily for 7 days.Ⅰgroup simply celiac inject pilocarpine.Ⅱgroup celiac inject PLO after LF-TMS.The EEG was recorded in both groups and the checked pathology.Pathological item include HE staining,NPY immunohisto chemical staining. Results The latency for seizure attack was significantly lengthened,while the frequency of seizure attack and times of major seizure attack were significantly decreased in the intervention group.The HE staining revealed significant de- generation and necrosis of neurons in the hippocampus,especially in the CA3 region,in rats in the control group. The pathologic changes were significantly less severe in the intervention,Immunohistochemical staining showed a sig- nificantly higher expression of NPY in the hippocampus as compared with the intervention group. Conclusion U- sing the PLO-induced epilepsy model,LF-TMS could not only postpone the generation of kindling but also inhibit the progress of epilepsy.The increased NPY expression in the hippocampusin the intervention group implied a close rela- tionship between NPY and epilepsy attack.

Objective To identify certain isoforms involved in the onset of retinal ischemic preconditioning (IPC), the effects of ischemic pretreatment (IP) were observed on level of conventional protein kinase C (cPKC) ?,?Ⅰ、?Ⅱand ? isoform-specific membrane translocation and protein expression in retina of rats. Methods Retinal IP was produced by intra-ocular pressure (IOP) elevation for 5 minutes in anesthetized Wistar rats. Sham operation was similar to IP except the pressure elevation. 10, 20, or 40 minutes and 1, 12, 24, 72 or 168 hours after the procedure, cPKC isoform-specific membrane translocation and protein expression were analyzed using Western-blot. Results cPKC? protein expression significantly increased from 12 h to 168 h. A peak reached at 72 h after IP. cPKC? membrane translocation enhanced during 20 min to 1 hours with a peak at 40 min. cPKC? protein expressionlevels significantly increased from 12 hours to 72 hours. A peak was found at 24 hours after IP. However, there were no significant changes in both membrane translocation of cPKC?, ?Ⅰ、?Ⅱand protein expression of cPKC?Ⅰ, ?Ⅱ in retina of rats following IP.Conclusion The enhanced cPKC? membrane translocation, the increased cPKC? and ? protein expressions might be involved in the onset and sustain of retinal IPC in rats respectively.

Objective To investigate the species of Limacodidae and the biological habits on Prunus cerasifera and sycamore in the urban area of Wuhu City,so as to provide the reference for the prevention and control of the diseases caused by Limacodi?dae. Methods Two observation places were selected in the urban area of Wuhu City,and the survey period of the first observa?tion place(A)was from 2014?5?4 to 2014?11?2,and eucleid caterpillar was observed and collected every Sunday(a total of 27 times);the survey period of the second observation place(B)was from 2014?1?5 to 2014?12?28,and eucleid caterpillar was ob?served and collected every Sunday(a total of 52 times). The eucleid caterpillars were collected by the visual inspection and arti?ficial direct collecting method,and then they were identified and classified by the naked eye direct observation and the direct ob?servation with the help of the anatomical lens in the laboratory. Results There were seven kinds of identified Limacodidae from the two observation places and their occurrence regularity,the species composition ratio,and natural enemies were understood. Conclusions Limacodidae larvae not only are the defoliator of the ornamental forests,but also harm the health of residents, that is they can cause eucleid larva dermatitis. Therefore,we should strengthen the prevention and control of Limacodidae,re?ducing its impact on the lives of the residents.
