[perspective of cervical cancer prevention and control in developing countries and areas].cervical cancer ranks the second common cancer in women, affecting women severely in developing countries. it is a critical issue to develop simple, rapid, accurate, safe, acceptable, and inexpensive screening tests which can be used in cervical cancer prevention programs in developing countries. due to the shortage of funding and qualified cytological professionals in most developing countries, who has been actively promoting visual inspection with acetic acid/iodine solution (via/vili) as the ...201020038301
the basaloid cell is the best tissue marker for human papillomavirus in invasive penile squamous cell carcinoma: a study of 202 cases from paraguay.human papillomavirus (hpv) has been reported in 12-82% of penile squamous cell carcinomas (scc). there is an association of the virus with basaloid and warty carcinomas but the reported prevalence is variable. the causes of these variations are not clear. they may be owing to geographic differences, the use of different techniques to detect hpv, the status of the original paraffin blocks, or to variable criteria in tumor classification. the aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of h ...201020035150
recombination of human papillomavirus-16 and host dna in exfoliated cervical cells: a pilot study of l1 gene methylation and chromosomal integration as biomarkers of carcinogenic progression.human papillomavirus-16 dna replicates in productive infections in circular form, but is found in most carcinomas integrated into the host cell dna. because this transition is essential for carcinogenesis, detailed research is desirable and may help to triage patients with abnormal pap smears. previous studies addressed the chromosomal integration of hpv-16 dna in biopsies of tumors by an indirect biomarker, methylation of the viral l1 gene and by reverse ligation polymerase chain reaction (rlip ...201020029805
ccl2 blockade augments cancer immunotherapy.altering the immunosuppressive microenvironment that exists within a tumor will likely be necessary for cancer vaccines to trigger an effective antitumor response. monocyte chemoattractant proteins (such as ccl2) are produced by many tumors and have both direct and indirect immunoinhibitory effects. we hypothesized that ccl2 blockade would reduce immunosuppression and augment vaccine immunotherapy. anti-murine ccl2/ccl12 monoclonal antibodies were administered in three immunotherapy models: one ...201020028856
the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 is a crucial target for histone deacetylase 1 as a regulator of cellular proliferation.histone deacetylases (hdacs) are chromatin-modifying enzymes that are involved in the regulation of proliferation, differentiation and development. hdac inhibitors induce cell cycle arrest, differentiation, or apoptosis in tumor cells and are therefore promising antitumor agents. numerous genes were found to be deregulated upon hdac inhibitor treatment; however, the relevant target enzymes are still unidentified. hdac1 is required for mouse development and unrestricted proliferation of embryonic ...201020028735
