ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate clinical and pathological features of pseudoepitheliomatous keratotic and micaceous balanitis (PKMB).Methods The clinical and pathological features as well as treatment of PKMB were retrospectively analyzed in 5 male patients collected from Janumy 2008 to December 2013.Results The age at onset of PKMB varied from 56 to 67 years in these 5 patients,and none of the patients had received prepucectomy.Indurated keratotic plaques were observed in the glans of penis and inner lamina of the prepuce with no tenderness on palpation,whose surfaces were covered with grayish yellow,adherent and hard micaceous crusts.Histopathological study revealed obvious hyperkeratosis complicated by parakeratosis,epidermal pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia,thickened spinous layer,and normal cell polarity in the epidermis,as well as telangiectasis and mild to moderate lymphocytic infiltration in the upper dermis.Immunohistochemical examination showed positive nuclear staining of epidermal cells for human papillomavirus (HPV) in 2 cases.Two patients took small doses of prednisone,but achieved no obvious improvement.Oral isotretinoin had resulted in a favorable outcome in another two cases,but relapse occurred after dose reduction,and thick crusts still appeared after topical application of glucocorticoid cream and tacrolimus cream,or carbon dioxide laser treatment and photodynamic therapy.Conclusions PKMB is a chronic and obstinate disease,and should be diagnosed based on pathological findings.Its treatment is difficult,and tretinoin has some effects,but relapse often occurs after drug withdrawal and maintenance treatment is needed.

ABSTRACT

Objective To determine the prevalent herpes simplex virus (HSV) strain in patients with genital herpes (GH),and to evaluate the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of anti-herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV2) IgG and IgM antibodies in the diagnosis of genital herpes (GH) before in vitro fertilization (IVF).Methods Totally,193 HSV2 clinical strains isolated in cell culture from the lesions of patients with GH in the Department of Dermatology,First Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University between 2009 and 2011 were typed by using type-specific fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled anti-HSV monoclonal antibodies.Serum samples were obtained from 57 anti-HSV2 IgM/IgG antibody-positive females with suspected GH as well as their husbands (clinical observation group),68 HSV culture-positive patients diagnosed with GH (positive control group),and 120 children aged 8-12 years (negative control group).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect anti-HSV1/HSV2 IgG/IgM antibodies in these serum samples.Statistical analysis was carried out using chi-square test.Results There was a significant difference between the positive control group and negative control group in the positivity rate of anti-HSV1 IgG (89.71% (61/68) vs.40.80% (49/120),P < 0.01) and anti-HSV2 IgG (91.18% (62/68) vs.0,P < 0.01),but not in that of anti-HSV1 IgM (20.59% (14/68) vs.21.70% (26/120),P > 0.05) or anti-HSV2 lgM (13.24% (9/68)vs.13.30% (16/120),P > 0.05).In the clinical observation group,the positivity rate of anti-HSV1 and anti-HSV2 IgM antibodies,anti-HSV1 and anti-HSV2 IgG antibodies was 80.70% (46/57),91.23% (52/57),84.21% (48/57) and 14.04% (8/57) respectively in the females,19.30% (11/57),8.77% (5/57),87.71% (50/57),12.28% (7/57)respectively in the males,with significant differences in the positivity rate of anti-HSV1 and-HSV2 IgM antibodies (both P < 0.01),but not in that of anti-HSV 1 or-HSV2 IgG antibodies (both P > 0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,PPV and NPV were 13.24% (9/68),86.67% (104/120),36.00% (9/25) and 63.80% (104/163) respectively for anti-HSV2 IgM antibody in the diagnosis of GH,91.18% (62/68),100.00% (120/120),100.00% (62/62),and 95.24% (120/126) respectively for anti-HSV2 IgG antibody.Conclusions HSV2 prevails in the patients with GH in this region,while HSV1 only amounts to 5.18%.The type-specific anti-HSV2 IgG antibody shows a higher specificity,sensitivity,PPV and NPV in the diagnosis of GH than anti-HSV2 IgM antibody,hence,the type-specific anti-HSV2 IgG antibody is superior to anti-HSV2 IgM antibody in diagnosing GH before assisted reproduction.

ABSTRACT

20%ALA cream were applied topically to condylomata acuminata.The cream was kept in place for 4 h.He-Ne laser light at 630nm was used,and the dose of light was 100 J/cm2 for all of the patients.After three treatment,the complete removal rate(CRR)of urethral and other genital mucossa were 93.4%and 88.9%,significantly higher than genital skin 39.1%(P<0.05).The adverse reactions of ALA-PDT are mainly local minor erosion,short-term pain,but no scar.It showed that ALA-PDT is an effective,minimally invasive treatment for condylomata acuminata,especially for the lesions on urethral and genital mucosa.

ABSTRACT

Objective To clone and express Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) heat shock protein 60 (hsp60) gene. Methods The hsp60 gene fragment was amplified from Ct chromosomal DNA by PCR. After purification and digestion with enzymes Sal I and Not I , the hsp60 gene fragment was inserted into the compatible site of prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a. The constructed recombinant plasmid was identified by PCR, restriction enzyme cleavage and sequencing, then, it was transfected into an expression strain Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The expression of fusion protein was induced by isopropy-β-D- thiogalactoside (IPTG) in the host bacteria, and the expressed product was identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western-blot. Results PCR and restriction enzymes cleavage analysis confirmed that the hsp60 gene was successfully cloned into the recombinant plasmid. DNA sequencing showed that the sequence of cloned gene was fully consistent with the published sequence in Genebank. As revealed by SDS-PAGE, the size of expressed fusion protein approximated 60 kilodaltons, and Western-blot confirmed the expressed product to be the expected protein. The final concentration of fusion protein was 17.85 mg/L with a purity of more than 90%. Conclusions A recombinant expression plasmid pET-28a-hsp60 is successfully constructed in this study, and soluble hsp60 protein is expressed by the recombinant plasmid-transfected E. coli.
