BACKGROUNDThe triage of human papillomavirus (HPV)‐positive women is needed to avoid overreferral to colposcopy. p16INK4a immunostaining is an efficient triage method. p16INK4a/Ki‐67 dual staining was introduced mainly to increase reproducibility and specificity compared with stand‐alone p16INK4a staining.METHODSWithin a pilot project, HPV‐positive women were referred to colposcopy if cytology was abnormal or unsatisfactory or HPV testing was still positive after 1 year. For 500 consecutive women, a slide obtained during colposcopy was immunostained for p16INK4a/Ki‐67 and independently interpreted by 7 readers without previous experience with dual staining. Four of these readers were experts in cervical pathology and 3 were not. Kappa values for multiple raters, sensitivity, and specificity for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 2‐positive histology were computed. Because women with normal cytology were underrepresented, estimates for all HPV‐positive women were obtained as weighted means of cytology‐specific estimates.RESULTSThe overall kappa for HPV‐positive women was 0.70 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.60‐0.77). Kappa values were not found to be significantly different between expert and nonexpert readers with regard to cervical cytology but were significantly increased (P =. 0066) after consensus discussion. The overall specificity estimate for HPV‐positive women was 64.0% (95% CI, 57.4%‐70.2%): 66.7% (95% CI, 59.8%‐73.0%) for experts and 60.5% (95% CI, 59.8%‐73.0%) for nonexperts. Among women with abnormal cytology, the sensitivity was 85.5% (95% CI, 77.9%‐90.8%): 85.8% (95% CI, 77.9%‐91.2%) for experts and 85.1% (95% CI, 76.6%‐90.9%) for nonexperts.CONCLUSIONSp16INK4a/Ki‐67 immunostaining demonstrated good reproducibility and specificity when triaging HPV‐positive women. Dual‐staining interpretation can be performed, after short training, even by staff who are not experts in cervical cytology. This allows HPV‐based screening with triage to be performed in settings in which such expert staff is not available. Cancer (Cancer Cytopathol) 2015;123:212–218. © 2014 American Cancer Society.
Controlling the Reactivity of the SeSe Bond by the Supramolecular Chemistry of Cucurbituril
Authors: Ren Huifeng , Huang Zehuan , Yang Hui , Xu Huaping , Zhang Xi 
Published: December 2014

AbstractWe describe a new strategy to control the reactivity of SeSe bond by using supramolecular chemistry of cucurbituril. We have demonstrated that selenocystamine (SeCy) and cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) can form a stable supramolecular complex (Ka=5.5×106 M−1). Before complexation, the free SeSe bond in SeCy is rather sensitive to redox stimuli and gets disrupted quickly with addition of reductant or oxidant. However, after binding with CB[6], the SeSe bond becomes quite inert and hardly reacts with reductant or oxidant. One advantage of this supramolecular protection is that it can be applied in a wide pH range from weakly acidic to basic. Additionally, the supramolecular complex formed by SeCy and CB[6] can be reversibly dissociated simply with addition of Ba2+.
β‐Ionic Conjugated Chlorin‐Type Photosensitizers Based on Porpholactone: Synthesis, Photophysical Properties, and Photodynamic Activity
Authors: Ke Xian‐Sheng , Tang Juan , Chen Juan‐Juan , Zhou Zheng‐Yang , Zhang Jun‐Long 
Published: December 2014

AbstractPorpholactones and their derivatives have attracted increasing attention for their promising application as photosensitizers. Reduction of the β‐lactone moiety in porpholactone to β‐hemiacetal, named porpholactol, allows the synthesis of chlorin‐type photosensitizers with enhanced near‐infrared absorption as well as β functionalization of water‐soluble conjugates. By employing β‐hydrophilic conjugates terminated by different ionic groups, such as neutral (ZnL1), anionic (ZnL2), zwitterionic (ZnL3), and cationic (ZnL4–6) groups, a series of photosensitizers (ZnL1–6) were synthesized and characterized, and their photophysical properties were studied, including magnetic circular dichroism measurement. The terminal ionic groups on β conjugates influence significantly the cellular uptake of ZnL1–6 in the order ZnL4–6 (positive charge)>ZnL1–3 (negative charge or neutral). Importantly, the photocytotoxicity of ZnL1–6 against cancer cells showed IC50 values down to the sub‐micromolar range and exhibited the same trend as their cellular uptake, clearly revealing the relationship of β‐ionic conjugates, cellular uptake, and intracellular photodynamic therapy (PDT) activity. Furthermore, using ZnL4 as an example, mechanistic studies, such as cell imaging experiments and Western blot analysis for the PDT process, indicate that ZnL4 exerts photodynamic activity through apoptosis, which is highly associated with lysosome disruption, mitochondria depolarization, and nuclei condensation.
Organoruthenium and Osmium Anticancer Complexes Bearing a Maleimide Functional Group: Reactivity to Cysteine, Stability, and Cytotoxicity

Published: December 2014

AbstractTargeted delivery provides a means to overcome the systemic toxicity of cancer chemotherapeutics. Maleimide functionalization of anticancer‐active metal complexes allows their site‐selective covalent conjugation to human serum albumin (HSA) to exploit passive targeting to the tumor site through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. By incorporating the maleimide moiety in the monodentate N‐donor coligands, a series of [MII(cym)X2] (M=Ru, Os; cym=η6‐p‐cymene; X=Cl2, Br2, I2, oxalate) complexes was synthesized and characterized. The influence of the metal center, η6‐arene, and leaving group X on the chemical and biological properties was studied. The compounds exhibited low stability in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) but were more stable in the 5 % aqueous DMSO solution used in biological assays. Incubation with cysteine as a model for thiol‐containing biomolecules demonstrated high reactivity of the maleimide with the thiol group. In in vitro anticancer assays in human colorectal, non‐small‐cell lung, and cervical carcinoma cells the complexes were good to moderately active with the lowest IC50 value at 8 μM for an osmium–iodido complex.
A Technique to Fabricate La2O2CN2:Tb3+ Nanofibers and Nanoribbons with the Same Morphologies as the Precursors

Published: December 2014

AbstractTerbium(III)‐doped lanthanum dioxymonocyanamide (La2O2CN2:Tb3+) nanofibers and nanoribbons were fabricated, by the cyanamidation technique, from precursor La2O3:Tb3+ nanofibers and nanoribbons prepared by electrospinning. The morphology of the final products were the same as those of the precursors. X‐ray powder diffraction analysis indicated that the crystal phase of La2O2CN2:Tb3+ is tetragonal in space group I4/mmm. SEM analysis revealed that the thickness and width of the La2O2CN2:Tb3+ nanoribbons is about 184 nm and 3.53 ± 0.37 μm, respectively, and the diameter of the La2O2CN2:Tb3+ nanofibers is 175.87 ± 16.23 nm at a 95 % confidence level. When excited with a 274 nm ultraviolet light source, the La2O2CN2:Tb3+ nanostructures emit predominantly at 543 nm; this emission originates from the 5D4→7F5 energy level transition of the Tb3+ ion. It was found that the optimum molar concentration of Tb3+ ions for doping La2O2CN2:Tb3+ nanostructures is 3 %. The La2O2CN2:Tb3+ nanofibers exhibit a higher photoluminescence (PL) intensity than that exhibited by nanoribbons for the same doping concentration. Commission International de l'Eclairage (CIE) analysis demonstrated that color‐tuned luminescence can be obtained by changing the concentration of the doping activator ions and the nanostructure morphology. Possible formation mechanisms for the La2O2CN2:Tb3+ nanofibers and nanoribbons are also proposed. More importantly, the new technique employed in this paper and the preparation method are of universal significance for providing other rare earth oxycyanamide nanostructures with various morphologies.
