乳头瘤病毒及协同因子与宫颈癌的关系

本研究旨在探讨宫颈癌前病变和宫颈癌的发生发展与人乳头瘤病毒及协同因子 (HSV ,CMV)的关系。对81例不同宫颈病变组织进行HPV16 / 18和HPV6 / 11原位杂交 ,同时对 10 3例不同宫颈病变组织用DNA扩增法检测HPV、HSV和CMV。结果表明病毒DNA原位杂交信号的分布与HE染色中挖空细胞的分布一致。HPV16 / 18与不同宫颈病变组织原位杂交阳性率平均为 5 1% ,HPV6 / 11的则为 6 4%。经PCR检测 ,HPV16 / 18、HPV6 / 11、HSV、CMV在不同宫

Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Peeling a DNA Molecule on Substrate

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study adhesion and peeling of a short fragment of single strand DNA (ssDNA) molecule from a graphite surface. The critical peel-off force is found to depend on both the peeling angle and the elasticity of ssDNA. For the short ssDNA strand under investigation, we show that the simulation results can be explained by a continuum model of an adhesive elastic band on substrate. The analysis suggests that it is often the peak value, rather than the mean value, of adhesion energy which determines the peeling of a nanoscale material.

Metric representation of DNA sequences

A metric representation of DNA sequences is borrowed from symbolic dynamics. In view of this method, the pattern seen in the chaos game representation of DNA sequences is explained as the suppression of certain nucleotide strings in the DNA sequences. Frequencies of short nucleotide strings and suppression of the shortest ones in the DNA sequences can be determined by using the metric representation.

Recurrence plot analysis of DNA sequences

Recurrence plot technique of DNA sequences is established on metric representation and employed to analyze correlation structure of nucleotide strings. It is found that, in the transference of nucleotide strings, a human DNA fragment has a major correlation distance, but a yeast chromosome's correlation distance has a constant increasing.
