Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the primary and initiating factor for cervical cancer. With over 200 identified HPV types, including 14 high-risk types that integrate into the host cervical epithelial cell DNA, early determination of HPV infection type is crucial for effective risk stratification and management. Presently, on-site immediate testing during the HPV screening stage, known as Point of Care Testing (POCT), remains immature, severely limiting the scope and scenarios of HPV screening. This study, guided by the genomic sequence patterns of HPV, established a multiplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) technology based on the concept of "universal primers." This approach achieved the multiple amplification of RPA, coupled with the CRISPR/Cas12a system serving as a medium for signal amplification and conversion. The study successfully constructed a POCT combined detection system, denoted as H-MRC12a (HPV-Multiple RPA-CRISPR/Cas12a), and applied it to high-risk HPV typing detection. The system accomplished the typing detection of six high-risk HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, and 45) can be completed within 40 min, and the entire process, from sample loading to result interpretation, can be accomplished within 45 min, with a detection depth reaching 1 copy/μL for each high-risk type. Validation of the H-MRC12a detection system's reproducibility and specificity was further conducted through QPCR on 34 clinical samples. Additionally, this study explored and optimized the multiplex RPA amplification system and CRISPR system at the molecular mechanism level. Furthermore, the primer design strategy developed in this study offers the potential to enhance the throughput of H-MRC12a detection while ensuring sensitivity, providing a novel research avenue for high-throughput detection in Point-of-Care molecular pathogen studies.

Environmental Risk Perception, Risk Culture, and Pro-Environmental Behavior. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17051750. [PMID: 32156077 PMCID: PMC7084862 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17051750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2020] [Accepted: 03/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Mixed evidence exists regarding the relationship between environmental risk perception and pro-environmental behavior. This study uses an existing online survey conducted by the Center of Ecological Civilization (CEC) of China University of Geosciences from December 2015 to March 2016 and examines how cultural bias influences environmental risk perception and behavior. We found that an individual’s pro-environmental behavior is not only influenced by environmental risk perception, but also by his or her cultural worldviews. Built on culture theory (CT), our empirical results suggest that young Chinese people are more located in “high-group” culture, where egalitarian culture and hierarchical culture dominate. The higher scores of hierarchical and egalitarian cultures of Chinese youth, the more likely they are to protect the environment. Moreover, the relationship between cultural worldviews and pro-environmental behaviors are mediated by perceived environmental risks.

Abstract
Bovine papillomavirus type 2 (BPV-2) infection has been associated with urinary bladder tumours in adult cattle grazing on bracken fern-infested land. In this study, we investigated the simultaneous presence of BPV-2 in whole blood and urinary bladder tumours of adult cattle in an attempt to better understand the biological role of circulating BPV-2. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 78 cattle clinically suffering from a severe chronic enzootic haematuria. Circulating BPV-2 DNA was detected in 61 of them and in two blood samples from healthy cows. Fifty of the affected animals were slaughtered at public slaughterhouses and neoplastic proliferations in the urinary bladder were detected in all of them. BPV-2 DNA was amplified and sequenced in 78 % of urinary bladder tumour samples and in 38.9 % of normal samples as a control. Circulating episomal BPV-2 DNA was detected in 78.2 % of the blood samples. Simultaneous presence of BPV-2 DNA in neoplastic bladder and blood samples was detected in 37 animals. Specific viral E5 mRNA and E5 oncoprotein were also detected in blood by RT-PCR and Western blot/immunocytochemistry, respectively. It is likely that BPV-2 can persist and be maintained in an active status in the bloodstream, in particular in the lymphocytes, as a reservoir of viral infection that, in the presence of co-carcinogens, may cause the development of urinary bladder tumours.

Abstract
DNA sequencing is the gold standard method for accurate microbial and viral typing. However, DNA sequencing techniques have been facing limitations in typing of human papillomaviruses when the specimen harbors multiple genotypes and yields nonspecific amplification products, resulting in nonspecific and noninterpretable sequence data. To address these limitations we have developed a type-specific multiple sequencing primer DNA-sequencing method. This new strategy is suitable for sequencing and typing of samples harboring different genotypes (co-infections with multiple genotypes) and yielding nonspecific amplifications, thus eliminating the need for nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR), stringent PCR conditions, and cloning. The new approach has also proved useful for amplicons containing low PCR yield or subdominant types, avoiding reperforming of amplifications. We have applied the multiple sequencing primer method for genotyping of clinically relevant human papillomaviruses in a clinical test panel by using a combined pool of seven type-specific sequencing primers for HPV-6, -11, -16, -18, -31, -33, and -45. Furthermore, we introduced a sequence pattern recognition approach when there was a plurality of genotypes in the sample to facilitate typing of more than one target DNA in the sample. The multiple sequencing primer method has proved to be a multifaceted approach for typing of human papillomaviruses by DNA sequencing technologies.

Abstract
It has been well demonstrated the relationship between the infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPVs) genotypes and cervical cancer. In Northeastern Argentina a high incidence of this pathology has been described and therefore a high prevalence of HPV infection is expected. In order to identify HPV genotypes associated with malignant and pre-malignant cervical lesions present in the area, 53 ecto-endo cervical cell specimens obtained from women with cytohistological alterations were studied by a PCR-RFLP technique. Out of 53 patients, 34 (64.2%) were positive for HPV infection, being HPV-16 (32.3%) the most frequently found genotype, followed by HPV-58 (14.7%), -6, -18 and -45 (5.9%), -33, -52, -53, -54, -56, -66, -MM4 and -LVX100 (2.9%). Also 5 cases of infection caused by multiple genotypes were found, which corresponded to 14.7% of the positive cases. Results indicate that besides HPV-16 and -18, the most prevalent high-risk HPV genotypes worldwide, others like -45 and -58 as well as co-infection cases are frequent between women of Northeastern Argentina, and a particular attention should be paid to this circumstance because it could be an epidemiological feature of regional importance and a useful information for a future vaccination program.

Abstract
To determine the types of human papillomaviruses (HPV) in northern Morocco, information which is needed for the design and use of HPV vaccines, we have analysed 129 cervical biopsies from this region. In our study, 91 cases were HPV positive, 45 cases had HPV-16 DNA, and 20 cases had HPV-18 DNA. This distribution of virus type was similar in inflammatory cervical lesions and in invasive cervical carcinomas. In conclusion, the HPV type distribution in Morocco is similar to that in other African Mediterranean countries, where the proportion of HPV-18 cases is significantly higher than in Europe. Determination of virus-type distribution is essential for vaccination programs.

Abstract
The possibility of using a new bioluminometric DNA sequencing technique, called pyrosequencing, for typing of human papillomaviruses (HPV) was investigated. A blinded pyrosequencing test was performed on an HPV test panel of 67 GP5+/GP6+ PCR-derived amplification products. The 67 clinical DNA samples were sequenced up to 25 bases and sequences were searched using BLAST. All of the samples were correctly genotyped by pyrosequencing and the results were unequivocally in accordance with the results obtained from conventional DNA sequencing. Pyrosequencing was found to be a fast and efficient tool for identifying individual HPV types. Furthermore, pyrosequencing has the capability of determining novel HPV types as well as HPV sequence variants harboring mutation(s). The method is robust and well suited for large-scale programs.
