ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton (Nr-CWS) in the treatment of persistent cervical high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. Methods: A randomized, double blind, multi-center trial was conducted. A total of 688 patients with clinically and pathologically confirmed HR-HPV infection of the cervix diagnosed in 13 hispital nationwide were recruited and divided into: (1) patients with simple HR-HPV infection lasting for 12 months or more; (2) patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅰ and HR-HPV infection lasting for 12 months or more; (3) patients with the same HR-HPV subtype with no CINⅡ and more lesions after treatment with CINⅡ or CIN Ⅲ (CINⅡ/CIN Ⅲ). All participants were randomly divided into the test group and the control group at a ratio of 2∶1. The test group was locally treated with Nr-CWS freeze-dried powder and the control group was treated with freeze-dried powder without Nr-CWS. The efficacy and negative conversion rate of various subtypes of HR-HPV were evaluated at 1, 4, 8, and 12 months after treatment. The safety indicators of initial diagnosis and treatment were observed. Results: (1) This study included 555 patients with HR-HPV infection in the cervix (included 368 in the test group and 187 in the control group), with an age of (44.1±10.0) years. The baseline characteristics of the two groups of subjects, including age, proportion of Han people, weight, composition of HR-HPV subtypes, and proportion of each subgroup, were compared with no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). (2) After 12 months of treatment, the effective rates of the test group and the control group were 91.0% (335/368) and 44.9% (84/187), respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=142.520, P<0.001). After 12 months of treatment, the negative conversion rates of HPV 16, 18, 52, and 58 infection in the test group were 79.2% (84/106), 73.3% (22/30), 83.1% (54/65), and 77.4% (48/62), respectively. The control group were 21.6% (11/51), 1/9, 35.1% (13/37), and 20.0% (8/40), respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P<0.001). (3) There were no statistically significant differences in vital signs (body weight, body temperature, respiration, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, etc.) and laboratory routine indicators (blood cell analysis, urine routine examination) between the test group and the control group before treatment and at 1, 4, 8, and 12 months after treatment (all P>0.05); there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions related to the investigational drug between the two groups of subjects [8.7% (32/368) vs 8.0% (15/187), respectively; χ2=0.073, P=0.787]. Conclusion: External use of Nr-CWS has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of high-risk HPV persistent infection in the cervix.

ABSTRACT

Purpose To analyze the MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α expression in lung adenocarcinoma tissue and to explore the relationship with clinical pathologic features,EGFR mutation and prognosis of the patients.Methods The expression of MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α in 629 cases of lung adenocarcinoma were detected by using immunohistochemical of SP method.50 cases of normal tissue adjacent to carcinoma and 50 cases of pneumonia pseudotumor hyperplasia tissues were selected as controls.629 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and all of them were followed-up.Results The MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α expression in lung adenocarcinoma tissues were higher than controls (P < 0.001).The MMP-9 expression was correlated with lymph node metastasis and the size of the tumor (P < 0.05).The MMP-13 expression was correlated with smoking history,TNM stage,lymph node metastasis and the size of the tumor (P <0.05).The HIF-1α expression were correlated with smoking and lymph node metastasis.Statistically significant differences were found in all these above groups (P < 0.05).But the expression of all has nothing to do with the EGFR mutation (P >0.05).The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α positive expression groups of 12,24 and 36 months cumulative survival were significantly lower than the negative expression groups.COX multiple factor analysis results showed that EGFR mutation,the expression of MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α,tumor size,TNM stage were independent risk factors for the development of lung adenocarcinoma patients living conditions.Statistically significant differences were found in these groups (P <0.05).Conclusion MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α are overexpressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues,and its expression are associated with lymph node metastasis,but has nothing to do with EGFR mutations.Patients with positive expression of MMP-9,MMP-13,HIF-1α and with no EGFR mutation have lower survival rates,and they are independent risk factors for the development of lung adenocarcinoma patients living conditions.

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze if there are membrane estrogen receptors(ER)in endometrial carcinoma and if there is some relationship between membrane ER and nuclear ER.Methods The cell membrane and total cell ER?and ER?expressions of high and moderate differentiation endometrial carcinoma cells(Ishikawa and HEC-1A cells)were analyzed.Intermittent immunofluorescence dyeing and fluorescent microscopy were carried out with the ceils treated with polyformaldehyde and Triton X-100. Intermittent immunofluorescence dyeing and flow cytometry were carried out with the live cells and the cells treated with Triton X-100 respectively.Results There were fluorescences on the membrane of the Ishikawa and HEC-1A cells which were treated with polyformaldehyde.When the cells were treated with Triton X- 100,the fluorescences were also seen inside the cells.The fluorescence intensity of ER?and ER?in Ishikawa cell membrane(1.09?0.21,1.27?0.33)was stronger than the control,but there were no significant differences(P>0.05).When treated with Triton X-100,the total cell fluorescence intensity of ER?and ER?in Ishikawa cell(4.21?0.34,4.69?1.96)was stronger than the membrane(P<0.05). The ER?and ER?fluorescence intensity of HEC-1A cell membrane(1.58?0.13,1.49?0.04)were stronger than the control(P<0.05).The fluorescence intensity of ER?and ER?of the HEC-1A cell (2.34?0.33,2.52?0.15)was stronger than the membrane also(P<0.05).The membrane ER?fluorescence intensity of Ishikawa was lower than HEC-1A(P=0.028).But the total cell ER?fluorescence intensity of Ishikawa was higher than HEC-1A(P=0.002).Conclusions There are membrane ER on endometrial carcinoma cells Ishikawa and HEC-1A.The membrane ER must have some similarity to the nuclear receptor.There is no direct correlation between the quantity of the membrane ER and nuclear ER.
