Application status of HPV vaccine in China / 中国实用妇科与产科杂志

The coverage rate of HPV vaccination in China is still very low,and the main reason may be related to people's confusion about the choice of vaccine types,the best age of vaccination,vaccination procedures and prices and other factors.This paper briefly describes the etiology of cervical cancer,the approval of HPV vaccine,the application status of HPV vaccine in foreign countries,and the current situation and challenges in the use of cervical cancer vaccine in China,and advocates that obstetrics and gynaecology experts/disease control experts actively promote the prevention and control of cervical cancer,so that young girls and their parents understand the knowledge related to cervical cancer and HPV vaccine,and young girls can be vaccinated with HPV vaccine as early as possible,so as to improve the coverage rate of HPV vaccination and eliminate cervical cancer.

Fertility-sparing treatment for early stage epithelial ovarian cancer / 中国实用妇科与产科杂志

With the onset age of tumor becomingyounger,the preservation of reproductive function ofcancer patients has become a hot issue in cancertreatment.Ovarian cancer is one of the most commongynecological malignancies. The fertility-sparingtreatment for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer atthe childbearing age is receiving increasing attention.This article will address the issues related to the fer-tility-sparing treatment for patients with early epi-thelial ovarian cancer.

Study of reduction rat T-lymphocytes activation and proliferation by inhibition inducible co-stimulator gene expression / 中华外科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the change of activation and proliferation ability of rat T-lymphocytes after suppress ICOS gene expression by RNA interference.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Four interference sites targeting at rat ICOS gene were designed and four pairs of oligonucleotide fragments were cloned into the pSilencer 4.1-CMV neo plasmid vectors then transfected into rat lymphocytes with cationic liposome. The expression of mRNA and protein of ICOS was detected by RT-PCR and flow cytometry. The alteration of lymphocyte proliferation ability was evaluated by mix lymphocyte reaction, and the secretion levels of IFN-gamma and IL-4 were measured by ELISA procedure.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After transfection, the expression of mRNA and protein of ICOS in test groups were lower than that in control groups (P < 0.05). The ability of T-lymphocytes in proliferation was poor and the levels of IFN-gamma and IL-4 were reduced with ICOS gene shut down.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>RNA interference plasmid vector can suppress ICOS expression in rat T-lymphocytes significantly, and it may be useful for further study on transplantation immunity tolerance.</p>

Methylation status of promoter of mismatch repair genes hMLH1 and hMSH2 in epithelial ovarian cancer / 中华检验医学杂志

Objective To explore the methylation status of hMLH1 and hMSH2 promoter region in the epithelial ovarian cancer and its role in oncogenesis.Methods Methylation status of hMLH1 and hMSH2 promoter region was assayed in 20 normal ovarian tissues,25 benign epithelial tumor,56 malignant epithelial tumor and cell lines SKOV3,3AO by methylation-specific PCR (MSP).SKOV3 and 3AO were analyzed before and after 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) treatment.In addition,an alterations of mRNA expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2 was observed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PT-PCR).Results No methylation of hMLH1 and hMSH2 promoter was found in normal ovarian tissues. CPG islands methylation of hMLH1 and hMSH2 was observed in 4% (1/25),8% (2/25) respectively in benign epithelial tumor,30.4% (17/56),51.8% (29/56) respectively in malignant epithelial tumor. Methylation status in promoter showed obvious correlation with pathological grade and lymph node metastasis (P
