Chapter 37, Problem 1DAA
Cervical Cancer Incidence In HPV-Positive Women In 2003, Michelle Khan and her coworkers published their findings on a 10-year study in which they followed cervical cancer incidence and HPV status in 20,514 women. All women who participated in the study were free of cervical cancer when the test began. Pap tests were taken at regular intervals, and the researchers used a DMA probe hybridization test (Section 15.3) to detect specific types of HPV in the women's cervical cells.
The results are shown in FIGURE 37.26 as a graph of the incidence rate of cervical cancer by HPV type. HPV- positive women are often infected by more than one type, so the data were sorted into groups based on the women's HPV status ranked by type: either positive for HPV16; or negative for HPV16 and positive for HPV18; or negative for HPV16 and HPV18 and positive for any other cancer-causing HPV; or negative for all cancer-causing HPV.
Follow-up time (months)
FIGURE 37.26 Cumulative incidence rate of cervical cancer correlated with HPV status in, 20,514 women aged 16 years and cider.
The data were grouped as follows:
● HPV16 positive
○ HFV16 negative and HPV18 positive
▼ All other cancer-causing HPV Types combined
∇ No cancer-causing HPV type was detected.
1. At 110 months into the study, what percentage of women who were not infected with any type of cancer-causing HPV had cervical cancer? What percentage of women who were infected with HPV16 also had cervical cancer?

True/False: Neutrophils regulate the production of active cathelicidins (a class of antimicrobial peptides) by segregating the inactive propeptide from the processing enzyme that cleaves and activates it in two different types of cytoplasmic granules. These two types of granules are induced to fuse with phagosomes after ingestion of microbes, bringing the processing enzyme and the propeptide together.
A pharmaceutical company just developed a drug (Cytarabine) that inhibits the activity of cytosine deaminase but increases intracellular concentrations of ara-dCTP in tumor cell. This will likely produced increased tumor sensitivity to Cytarabine.

- Ataxia-telangiectasis (ATM) is a rare genetic neurodegenerative disease. About 20% of people with ATM develop acute lymphocytic leukemia or lymphoma, cancers of the immune-system cells. Cells in many of these cancers exhibit chromosome rearrangements, with chromosome breaks occurring at antibody and T-cell-receptor genes (A. L. Bredemeyer et al. 2006. Nature 442:466–470). Many people with ATM also have a weakened immune system, which makes them susceptible to respiratory infections. Research has shown that the locus that causes ATM has a role in the repair of double-strand breaks. Explain why people who have a genetic defect in the repair of doublestrand breaks might have a high incidence of chromosome rearrangements in their immune-system cells and why their immune systems might be weakened.arrow_forwardCASE STUDY Cancer-killing bacteria Ralph, a 57-year-old man, was diagnosed with colon cancer.His oncologist discussed the use of radiation andchemotherapy as treatments, both of which can causedebilitating side effects.

He learned that researchers in asynthetic biology program were testing the use of geneticallymodified bacterial cells designed to selectively invade specifictumors and kill cancer cells, with no effects on normal cells.Ralph decided to participate and was informed that he wouldbe part of a phase III trial, comparing the effects of the modifiedbacterial cell treatment against conventional chemotherapy.However, as part of the trial, he would be randomly assigned toreceive one or the other treatment.
