Research Progress on the relationship between HPV E6 protein and cervical cancer / 医学研究生学报

Cervical cancer is the second most common malignant tumor of women all over the world.Infection with oncogenic human papilloma virus ( HPV) types is the most important risk factor to cause cervical cancer.The viral genome of HPV consists of three regions:the early region (E), the late region (L) and the long control region (LCR).The early proteins (E1, E2, E4, E5, E6, E7 ) play vital roles in the continuous virus expression and replication in cells.Among these proteins, E6 protein has the closest relationship with the tumorogenesis and development of cervical cancer.Many mechanisms of the HPV encoded early protein E6 in in-ducing cervical cancer have been characterized, including degradation of p53 protein, activation of telomerase, interaction with PDZ protein, disturbance of cellular signaling pathways, inhibition of immune recognition and blockage of cellular apoptosis.HPV E6 pro-tein may be a preferred target in prevention and treatment of cervical cancer.

Continuous potassic warm blood perfusion for myocardial protection during warm blood coronary bypass / 中华麻醉学杂志

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the protective effect of continuous potassic warm blood perfusion on myocardium during warm blood extraeorporeal circalation. Warm blood cardiopulmonary bypass and continuous potassic warm blood perfusion for myocardial protection were used in 39 cases undergoing coronary bypass. 15% potassium chloride was mixed with oxygenated warm blood for continuous myocardial perfusion to induce cardiac arrest. The average nasopharyngeal temperature was maintained at 33.5℃. The warm blood was delivered at a rate of 150 to 200 ml/min; 15% potassium chloride was pumped at a high flow rate of 120 to 160 ml/h and then at a low flow rate of 15 to 20ml/h when electrocardiogram showed straight line. The results showed that 38 cases (97.4%) had spontaneous return of normal sinus rhythm shortly after removal of the aortic crossclamp. Myocardial positive inotropic agents were seldom used and hemodynamics kept stable. Cardiac functions showed fast recovery and there were not serious complications such as perioperative myocardial infarction, low output syndrome and arrhythmia. It is indicated that continuous potassic warm blood perfusion for myocardial protection may have a remarkable results to prevent myocardial anoxemia and reperfusion injury during CPB.
