ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the positive expressions of P16 and Ki-67 proteins in cervical biopsy lesions of patients with high-risk HPV infection and abnormal detection of liquid-based thin-layer cytology test(TCT), and the clinical value in predicting occurrence of early cervical cancer.@*Methods@#A total of 120 patients with high-risk HPV infection(16 and 18 subtypes positive) and abnormal TCT in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Linhai from January 2016 to July 2017 were enrolled in the study.The colposcopy was used to get cervical biopsy lesions for pathological diagnosis, immunohistochemical staining was used to detect P16 and Ki-67 proteins.@*Results@#There were up to 66 patients with HPV-16 positive, 34 cases with HPV-18 positive, other 20 cases with 16 and 18 positive; 6 cases of atypical squamous epithelial cells(ASC), 46 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL), 60 cases of high-grade SIL(HSIL), other 8 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma(SCC) were diagnosed by TCT; 5 cases of inflammation, 105 cases of CIN and 10 cases of SCC by pathologically diagnosis.The positive rates of P16 and Ki-67 proteins were gradually increased in patients with inflammation, CIN and SCC[0(0/5), 36.2%(38/105), 70.0%(7/10), χ2=4.382, P=0.036; 0(0/5), 40.0%(42/105), 80.0%(8/10), χ2=5.945, P=0.015]. The patients with CIN were followed up for 21~36 months, median time 29.5 months.Twenty-six patients progressed to SCC, at the end of follow-up, the positive rates of P16 and Ki-67 proteins in patients with SCC were significantly higher than those in the CIN patients without progress[61.5%(16/26) vs.39.2%(31/79), χ2=3.934, P=0.047; 69.2%(18/26) vs.41.8%(33/79), χ2=5.905, P=0.015].@*Conclusion@#The positive expression rates of P16 and Ki-67 proteins in cervical biopsy tissues are significantly higher in patients with high-risk HPV infection and abnormal TCT, which in patients with pathologically diagnosis of SCC are higher than CIN patients, the same results in CIN patients with SCC progression than non-progressing patients, suggesting that P16 and Ki-67 proteins are of great value in predicting occurrence of early cervical cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the positive expressions of P 16 and Ki -67 proteins in cervical biopsy lesions of patients with high-risk HPV infection and abnormal detection of liquid -based thin-layer cytology test (TCT),and the clinical value in predicting occurrence of early cervical cancer .Methods A total of 120 patients with high-risk HPV infection(16 and 18 subtypes positive) and abnormal TCT in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Linhai from January 2016 to July 2017 were enrolled in the study.The colposcopy was used to get cervical biopsy lesions for pathological diagnosis ,immunohistochemical staining was used to detect P 16 and Ki-67 proteins. Results There were up to 66 patients with HPV-16 positive,34 cases with HPV-18 positive,other 20 cases with 16 and 18 positive;6 cases of atypical squamous epithelial cells (ASC),46 cases of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL),60 cases of high-grade SIL(HSIL),other 8 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were diagnosed by TCT;5 cases of inflammation,105 cases of CIN and 10 cases of SCC by pathologically diagnosis.The positive rates of P16 and Ki-67 proteins were gradually increased in patients with inflammation ,CIN and SCC[0(0／5),36.2%(38／105),70.0%(7／10),χ2 ＝4.382,P＝0.036;0 (0／5),40.0%(42／105),80.0%(8／10),χ2 ＝5.945,P＝0.015].The patients with CIN were followed up for 21～36 months,median time 29.5 months.Twenty-six patients progressed to SCC ,at the end of follow-up,the positive rates of P16 and Ki-67 proteins in patients with SCC were significantly higher than those in the CIN patients without progress [61.5%(16／26) vs.39.2%(31／79), χ2 ＝3.934,P＝0.047;69.2%(18／26) vs.41.8%(33／79),χ2 ＝5.905,P＝0.015].Conclusion The positive expression rates of P16 and Ki-67 proteins in cervical biopsy tissues are significantly higher in patients with high -risk HPV infection and abnormal TCT ,which in patients with pathologically diagnosis of SCC are higher than CIN patients,the same results in CIN patients with SCC progression than non -progressing patients,suggesting that P16 and Ki-67 proteins are of great value in predicting occurrence of early cervical cancer .
