The JC virus is a widely infected human polyomavirus. Recent foreign researches showed that the JC virus infection is correlated with tumors of nervous system and digestive system, while, and study on the relationship between JC virus infection and gynecological tumor is seldom reported. In this study, we first establish the nucleic acid detection methods and procedures for JC virus and its highly homologous BK virus. The JC and BK viruses infection was evaluated by detect the viral DNA in samples including biopsy tissues, serum as well as urine of myoma of uterus (98 cases), cervical cancer (84 cases), endometrial cancer (40 cases) and ovarian tumor (72 cases) patients. The BK viral DNA positive rate was significantly higher in urine samples than that of blood and biopsy samples, and there is no significant difference of the BK viral DNA positive rate among all patient groups. The JC viral DNA positive rate is almost 0 in serum samples and biopsy. tissues, however, viral DNA positive rate is more than 50% in urine samples. In fibroids group, the JC viral DNA positive rate is up to 65. 3% which is significantly higher than that in other patients groups and healthy control. Further gynecological tumor associated viruses detection showed that only human papilloma virus infection is associated with cervical cancer, the herpes simplex virus, EB virus and cytomegalovirus infection is extremely low in our patient groups. No synergistic effect on gynecological tumor caused by viruses co-infection was observed. Our study showed that JC virus infection is highly related to the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids.

Aim To investigate the effects of Aplysin on the inhibition of gastric cancer cell in vitro .Methods MTT assay was used to examine the inhibition of gastric cancer cell 1ine SGC-7901 by Aplysin in different concentrations and at different times.The morphologic changes and the apoptosis of SGC-7901 was observed by inverted microscope and Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE)staining.Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)assay was used to detect the changes of COX-2 mRNA expressions.Results Aplysin could decrease the proliferation significantly in a dose-dependent manner in SGC-7901 cells.When treating SGC-7901 with Aplysin in concentration of 120, 240 mg·L~(-1) for 24 h, the growth of the cell was obviously inhibited observing by inverted microscope.Aiso, when treating with the same concentration for 18 h, its chromatin became crimpled and breakdown, as well as cell shrinkage and apoptotic bodies formation when using HE staining.The apoptotic rates(%)of SGC-7901 was(15.0±2.12)%, (18.4±2.3)%, respectively, which was significantly higher than(1.4±0.55)% that in control group(P <0.01).60、120、240 mg·L~(-1) Aplysin could not effectively inhibited the mRNA expressions of COX-2(P ＞0.05).Conclusions Aplysin can inhibit the proliferation and induces apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells.

Objective To explore the relationship of acute myeloid leukemia kayotype with chemotherapeutic effect. Methods Conventional cytogenetic technique of G-band was used to analyze in 222 acute myeloid leukemia patients. Results Eighty-six cases (42. 1%) with cytogenetic abnormalities were found in 204 patients. Excepting for M_3 patients,the favorable,intermediate and adverse groups according for MRC criteria were treated with TA or CAG schema respectively. CR rate of M_3 was obviously higher than non-M_3. The favorable and intermediate group were obviously surpassinger than adverse group in TA schema. CR rate of the intermediate group was highter than that of other groups in CAG schema. CR rate of the adverse group in two schema were all low. CAG was surpassinger than TA schema in intermediate group. Conclusion Cytogenetics is an important chemotherapeutic and prognostic factor to acute myeloid leukemia. CAG schema could be the leader selection in the de novo presby or oligoac-crementional AML patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between H.pylori (HP) infection and the functional dyspepsia (FD) by 4-lead electrogastrography (EGG). Methods The data of the gastric electrical activity of 163 children with FD, includ-ing 103 children with HP infection (group A), 60 without HP infection (group B) and 22 healthy controls (group C) were mea-sured by 4-lead EGG, which included normal slow wave percentage (N%), bradygastria percentage (B%), tachygastria per-centage (T%) and motilin uneven rhythm percentage (A%). EGG frequency and power examination included the main fre-quency (DF), the main power (DP) and postprandial/pre-prandial gastric electrical main power ratio (P/R). EGG data was compared between three groups. Results There was significant difference in pre-prandial and postprandial percentage of different slow wave frequency between group A and group B. There were no significant differences in pre-prandial and post-prandial changes of DF and DP between group A and group B. There was no significant difference in the pre-prandial and postprandial percentage change of different slow wave frequencies in 84 HP negative patients. But the significant change was found in pre-prandial and postprandial change of DF, DP and P/R. Conclusion The eradication of HP improved the gas-tric electrical activity and relieved the postprandial symptom in children with functional dyspepsia under HP infection.
