Background: We previously reported that REBACIN effectively eliminates persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection. Here, we conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of REBACIN, taking into account factors such as specific hrHPV subtype and patient's age.
Methods: According to inclusion/exclusion criteria and participant willingness, 3252 patients were divided into REBACIN group while 249 patients into control group.
High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) persistent infection is the major cause of cervical cancer. Clinical intervention of hrHPV-associated high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) is critical to prevent cervical cancer, and current treatment is surgery (an invasive therapy). However, some patients refuse to do so for an afraid of potential adverse effects on future fertility or other concerns which creates a critical need for development of non-invasive therapeutic strategies.

The expression of E-cadherin and methylation in its promoter region was analyzed, retrospectively, in 152 clinical tissue samples from patients with endometrial lesions. We found that the hypermethylation of CDH1 promoter, which caused low expression of E-cadherin in endometrial cancer, was associated with not only clinicopathological progress of endometrial cancer but also with the overall 5-year clinical survival rate.

Objective: To study the relationship between nucleotide excision repair gene ERCC1 and resistance to cisplatin in ovarian cancer.
Methods: The expression of gene ERCC1 in 58 ovarian cancer tissues and 4 cell lines were examined and its relationship with resistance to cisplatin were analyzed, the changes of sensitivity to cisplatin were observed after interference of ERCC1 gene with small interfering RNA (siRNA) in ovarian cancer cell lines.
Results: In 58 ovarian cancer tissues, the positive rate of ERCC1 protein in chemoresistant cases (57.

Objective: To study the changes of DNA repair genes and enhanced anti-tumor effect of cisplatin induced by mifepristone in human ovarian cancer drug resistance cells.
Methods: The alterations of cisplatin concentration producing 50% inhibition (IC50 ) in the COC1/DDP cell lines were examined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. RT-PCR and flow cytometry were used to analyze the changes of the mRNA of ERCC1, BRCA1, hMLH1 genes and cell cycle and apoptosis.

Objective: To study changes of cisplatin sensitivity by RNA interfering the excision repair cross-complementing (ERCC) 1 gene in ovarian cancer cell lines.
Methods: The small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting ERCC1 gene was designed and synthesized by transcription in vitro, and transfected to ovarian cancer cell line ES-2. The mRNA and protein of ERCC1 were evaluated by means of RT-PCR, western blot and immunocytochemistry.
