Hyperthermia on skin immune system and its application in the treatment of HPV-infected skin diseases

摘要

In this paper,the effects of hyperthermia on cells and immune system are introduced briefly. The mechanism of action of hyperthermia on human papilloma virus (HPV)-infected skin diseases was elaborated as an example in this paper. Many studies have proved that hyperthermia affects a number of cellular and molecu-lar constitutes in the skin immune system,involving both innate and adaptive immune responses;the efficacy of hyperthermia in treating some infectious and cancerous conditions has been validated and applied in clinics, while molecular mechanisms of hyperthermia affecting the immunereaction is still unclear.
