Objective To study the relation between the HPV6/18 virus infection and the development of pathological changes of cervix. Methods The number of HPV16/18 DNA copies and the expression rate of HPV16/18 E7 mRNA in the pathological cervix were examined by the quantitative fluorescent PCR combined with pathological diagnosis and immunohistochemistry staining. Results The HPV16 infection rates in chronic cervicitis group were much lower (7.4%) than that in the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) groups and the cervical cancer group (69.6% and 72.7%), respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the difference of HPV16 DNA copies was not significant between the chronic cervicitis group and CIN groups. In contrast to the above mentioned result, the number of HPV DNA copies between the CIN groups and the cervical cancer group was significantly different. The HPV16 E7 gene expression rates in CIN Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and cervical cancer groups were 0,37.5%,42.9%,63.6%, respectively. Conclusion Ins more common than that with HPV18. The number of HPV16 DNA copies in cervical cancer tissues is markedly higher than that in CIN Ⅱ, Ⅲ groups. The HPV16 E7 mRNA expression is significantly increased in the cervical cancer, and it is more closely correlated to this pathological changes. The quantitative fluorescent PCR can be used to reflect the activity of HPV, and it is a useful method for the screening examination of HPV and for the early diagnosis and treatment of cervical caner.

AIM: To investigative the inhibitory effects of Paecilomyces cicadae polysaccharide (PcPS) against HBV in vitro, and the effects on the Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA expression in HepG2.2.15 cell strain. METHODS: HepG2.2.15 cell strain was co-cultured in vitro with PcPS in different concentrations, and lamivudine (LMV) was applied as positive control. MTT assay was employed to detect the cytotoxicities of PcPS in vitro, when the HepG2.2.15 cells was used as target cells. The effects of PcPS on the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg were assayed by ELISA method. Fluorescence quantitative-PCR (FQ-PCR) was used to detect the inhibitory effects of PcPS on the content of HBV-DNA and TLR4 mRNA in HepG2.2.15 cells. RESULTS: The inhibitory effects of PcPS on the HBsAg and HBeAg were observed and the maximum inhibitory ratio up to 44.8% and 31.0%, respectively. The same inhibitory effects of PcPS on the HBV-DNA replication and TLR4 mRNA expression in HepG2.2.15 cells were also found. CONCLUSION: A certain concentration of PcPS significantly inhibits HBV replication in vitro.

Objective To explore the effects of application of laparoscopic simulators in teaching of plastic surgery. Methods 10 plastic surgeons and 20 standardized training surgical residents with 2 to 4 years' experience were tested about their proficiency in moving beans, pinching, suturing and tying by timing and counting. After they were trained with laparoscopic simulators 3, 6, 9 times with each time for 90 min, tests were taken. SPSS 19.0 was used to make single factor variance analysis of the related data or conduct q test. Result There was significant difference before and after the residents' training of moving beans, pinching, suturing and tying (P<0.05). Less time to finish the operation was needed after training, but after training for 6 times or 9 times, there was no significant difference in operation time (P >0.05). Conclusion Application of laparoscopic simulator training can significantly improve the operation skills of the novices with some clinical experience in the short term, which is conducive to the endoscope assisted breast augmentation surgery, and is worthy of promotion.

Objective:To discuss the therapy for ureteral endometriosis.Methods:The clinical data of 25 cases of histopathologically confirmed ureteral endometriosis during 2001 -2015 were retrospectively analyxed.Results:In the 25 cases,all the patients took urinary ultrasound for examination before sur-gery,of whom 21 (84%)were examined by CT and 5 (20%)by MRI.Three (12%)cases underwent preoperative KUB and intravenous pyelogram (IVP)examination.Four (16%)cases were examined by retrograde pyelography before surgery.Eight (32%)of them took cystoscope for examination and 11 (44%)took preoperative radionuclide renal dynamic imaging examination.All of these cases were affec-ted with unilateral ureter,13 (52%)in the right and 12 (48%)in the left.The ureter lesions were at the upper part in 21 (84%)cases and at the middle part in 4 (16%)cases.In these cases,11 (44%) received partial ureteral resection and end-to-end ureteral anastomosis,10 (40%)received partial ure-teral resection and ureterocystoneostomy,3 (12%)received retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterec-tomy,and 1 (4%)received endoscopic resection of ureteral endometriosis lesion.All of these cases were confirmed with ureteral endometriosis by post-surgery pathology results,with the expression of CA125 and ER in the glandular tissue and expression of PR in the mesenchymal tissue inside the ureteral muscle de-tected by immunohistochemistry.Four (16%)cases took postoperative adjuvant hormonal therapy.And no recurrence was found among 16 (64%)cases with the successful follow-up which ranged from 3 to 76 months and the median follow up was 28 months.Fifteen cases were submitted to the follow-up by urinary ultrasound (93.8%)and 5 (31.3%)underwent CT for examination.All the cases relieved from hydro-nephrosis,and symptoms of 10 (63.5 )cases disappeared.The cases with double-J stent all had the stent removed within 3 to 6 weeks.Conclusion:Surgical procedures should be considered as the main therapy for ureteral endometriosis.We recommend ureterolysis for patients with mild ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis.As for those with moderate and severe ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis,we recommend partial ureteral resection.When the situation comes to patients with little renal function of the affected side,the recommended management is nephroureterectomy.

In recent years there have been more widely and deeply studies in investigating melamine toxicity. Generally, it is believed that the main target of melamine is the urinary system. However, previous studies revealed that it also had additional biological actions. Obviously, the toxicity mechanisms of melamine have not been fully clarified. It is well known that fetus and infant periods play the most fundamental role in the brain development. And melamine can pass through the placental and blood-brain barrier, and then exerts toxic effects on the central nervous system. This article reviewed the reports about the topic in recent years, for better understanding the dangers of melamine to infants and providing experimental data for further study.

Objective:To discuss the strategy of fighting and containing COVID-19. Method:The speed of the spreading of the ordinary strain in Dalian on Dec. 15， 2021 caused by carrying cold-chain goods from a Russia-registered freighter and the Delta strain caused by imported cases in Guangzhou during May 20 to Jul. 23， 2021 was compared. Results:The incubation period of the first generation of the imported Delta strain of COVID-19 was 4 days， which was 5 days shorter than that of the ordinary strain of COVID-19； The time from the exposure to the Delta strain to spreading to the next person was 1/3 days shorter than that of the ordinary strain of COVID-19. The inactivated vaccine needs at least 8 days for recall immune response meanwhile the mRNA vaccine needs at least 4 days， which could not completely block the COVID-19 virus， especially the Delta strain， which can attack with an ultra-short incubation period. Meanwhile， some COVID-19 strains have an incubation period longer than 14 days， which was another reason for the outbreak. Conclusion:The time from the exposure to the COVID-19 Delta strain to spreading to the next person is 1/3 day shorter that of the ordinary strain of COIVD-19. Measures of full vaccination， physical quarantine and wearing masks in public should be taken to fight the epidemic of COVID-19， especially the Delta strain （or other variants） with an ultra-short or an ultra-long incubation period which can escape quarantine.
