METHODS: The present study examined the presence of HPV in squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity (n = 71), and esophagus (n = 166) collected from Japan, Pakistan and Colombia, with different HPV exposure risk and genetic backgrounds. The viral load and physical status of HPV16 and HPV16-E6 variants were examined. Comparison of p53 and p16INK4a expression in HPV-positive and HPV-negative cases was also made. RESULTS: HPV16 was found in 39 (55%) oral carcinomas (OCs) and 24 (14%) esophageal carcinomas (ECs). This site-specific difference in HPV detection between OCs and ECs was statistically significant (P < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the geographical distribution of HPV16-E6 variants. Multiple infections of different HPV types were found in 13 ECs, but multiple infections were not found in OCs. This difference was statistically significant (P = 0.001). The geometric means (95% confidence interval) of HPV16 viral load in OCs and ECs were 0.06 (0.02-0.18) and 0.12 (0.05-0.27) copies per cell, respectively. The expression of p16INK4a proteins was increased by the presence of HPV in ECs (53% and 33% in HPV-positive and-negative ECs, respectively; P = 0.036), and the high-risk type of the HPV genome was not detected in surrounding normal esophageal mucosa of HPV-positive ECs. CONCLUSION: Based on our results, we cannot deny the possibility of HPV16 involvement in the carcinogenesis of the esophagus.展开更多

We analyzed the relevance to EC of Kazakh's inXinjiang.RESULTS In the ESCC samples of Kazakh's in Xinjiang, totaldetection rate for HPV DNA was 64.5% (205/318). The positiverate of HPV in group of crude cell suspensions was 82.9% (97/117)compared with the rate of 53.7% (108/201) in the group of DNAextraction. The results in the two groups showed significantdiffference (x^2 = 5.711, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION HPV DNA infection may be one of the mostimportant factors related to EC of Kazakh's in Xinjiang.展开更多

Methods: Specimens of CA-DNA quantification from 94cases were examined by real time FQ-PCR technique and 32cases were compared with the same method after 10-daystreatment. Results: CA-DNA was found in all patients, with an averageof 4.0×10^6 copies/ul. After 10 days of treatment, the averagewas 2.1×10^5 copies/ul. There was a significant difference inthe average amount of CA-DNA before and after thetreatment. Conclusion: Real time FQ-PCR is a good method forexamining CA-DNA amount and it can direct the treatment of CA.展开更多

Methods: PCNA expression was observed byimmunohistochemistry technique (ABC method) in 51 CAspecimens and 1 normal specimens of foreskin or vaginalmucosae. 55 specimens (40 in the CA group and 15 in thecontrol group) were randomly sampled for in situ labelingof apoptotic cells using the TUNEL method. Results: Positive expression of PCNA in CA and controlgroups were 90.2% and 77.8%, respectively, and theproliferation index in CA group was significantly higherthan that in the control group (P<0.001). The positive rateof apoptosis was 42.5% in the LA group and 53.3% in thecontrol group, and there were no significant differences inthe apoptotic index and apoptosis-proliferation ratiobetween two groups (P>0.05). The proliferation indexshowed a significant negativc correlation with theapoptosis-proliferation ratio (r=-0.62, P=0.01) in the CAgrp. Conclusion: It is suggested that the proliferativeappearance of CA could be due to the imbalance betweencell growth and cell death which is caused by moreproliferation and less apoptosis in keratinocytes.展开更多
