Relationship between nasal inverted papilloma and human papillomavirus subtypes / 中华耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) subtypes in nasal inverted papilloma (NIP), and to evaluate the relationship between HPV and NIP.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty-one HPV subtypes were detected in paraffin-embedded tissues of 101 cases of NIP by flow through hybridization and gene chip (HybriMax), 24 cases of normal nasal mucosa were used as controls.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>HPV positive rates of NIP were 64.36% (65/101). Benign NIP group, NIP with atypical hyperplasia group, NIP with cancerous group of HPV positive rates were 59.7% (46/77), 81.8% (18/22) and 50% (1/2) respectively. The control group was negative (0/24). The comparison between NIP group and control group was statistically significant (chi(2) = 32.178, P < 0.05). Benign NIP group and NIP with atypical hyperplasia group were compared, but no statistically significance (chi(2) = 3.649, P = 0.056) was found. The constituent ratio of benign NIP group and NIP with atypical hyperplasia group in high, low-risk HPV subtypes infections was compared, a statistically significance (chi(2) = 10.412, P < 0.05) was found.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The occurrence of NIP was related with HPV infection. High-risk HPV subtype infections or multiple infections will prompt benign NIP to NIP with atypical hyperplasia. Understanding the distribution of HPV subtypes in the NIP is helpful to predict the clinical behavior.</p>

Screening and Properties of Chitin Deacetylase from Bacillus subtilis / 微生物学通报

A bacterium that contains a chitin deacetylase has been isolated from ocean soil. It has been identified Baciluus .The best suitable condition of producing this enzyme is that pH is 4.0,35℃,and the incubate time is 80 hours in the present of Ca 2+ as well as having no chitosan. The best temperature of this enzyme when it acts is 40℃～50℃ and the best pH range is 4.5～5.0.
