The virus-induced papillomas of cottontail as well as domestic rabbits regress completely within a few weeks when exposed to 5,000 r of x-ray irradiation. The x-rays do not immediately kill the papilloma cells, but lead to death by inhibiting cellular division and producing pathological changes in the cells which then continue to differentiate. The virus associated with the growths, however, not only persists in undiminished amount during regression, but often an increased yield of it can be obtained on extraction. The fibroma virus in crude extracts or in vivo is inactivated by far less irradiation than the papilloma virus. 10,000 r destroys 90 per cent or more of the infectivity of the fibroma virus, whereas at least 100,000 r is required to inactivate 50 per cent of the papilloma virus in extracts containing about the same amount of protein. No variant of the papilloma virus or fibroma virus has been encountered as a result of the irradiation.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined the presence of HPV16 L1 protein in oral mucosa biopsies from patients needing diagnosis of oral lesions.
- Out of 72 samples, only 6.9% showed L1 protein expression, primarily associated with squamous cell carcinomas and other hyperplastic lesions.
- The study concluded that L1 protein expression is relatively low in oral mucosal biopsies.

Hospital Pequeno Príncipe (HPP), Curitiba, PR, Brasil.
Article Synopsis
- Pediatric cardiac tumors are uncommon, with the majority being benign, and cardiac fibroma is notably the second most common type after rhabdomyoma.
- A case of a 5-month-old boy with acute viral bronchiolitis revealed incidental findings of a cardiac fibroma via various diagnostic tests, including echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization, leading to its confirmation.
- Treatment typically involves surgery or heart transplantation, especially for cases with significant dysfunction, and accurate characterization of the tumor is crucial for determining the best therapeutic strategy.
HPV related p16 and HSV in benign and potentially malignant oral mucosa pathologies.
BMC Oral Health
March 2024
Oral Pathology Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Wroclaw Medical University, Ul. Krakowska 26, Wroclaw, 50-425, Poland.
Background: The association of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and Human Syncytial Virus (HSV) infection with inflammatory and potentially malignant disorders of the oral cavity (OPMD) is unknown. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to stablish the expression of the p16 and HSV proteins, to test potential correlation between those parameters in biopsies from clinically diagnosed oral lesions.
Methods: Immunochemical analysis of 211 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks from 211 individuals was provided.
