ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between HPV positive rate and incidence rate of cervical cancer.Methods 438 women,who reveived cervical Pap smears and biopsy,were included in the present study.Human papilloma virus nucleic acid amplification genotyping assay kit was used to detect 21 kinds of HPV subtypes.Results There were 102 patients with cervical cancer (23.29％) and HPV-positive 94 patients (21.46％),which had no significance difference (x2 =0.421,P =0.517).There were 56 patients HPV16 positive (54.90％),19 patients HPV58-positive (18.63％),12 patients HPV18 positive (11.76％) and 8 patients HPV52 positive (7.84％),which were significantly higher than those of other types of HPV-positive rate(all P ＜ 0.05).The proportion of the patients with invasive cervical cancer in HPV i6,HPV58,HPV18,or HPV52-positive was significantly higher than that of intraepithelial lesions and carcinoma in situ (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion HPV16,HPV58,HPV18,and HPV52 have high correlation with uterine cancer.
ABSTRACT
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the uterine cervix is a rare and aggressive malignancy. We report a case of uterine cervical LCNEC concurrent with high grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-SIN). The LCNEC expressed chromogranin A and thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1). The HG-SIN was negative for these markers. Human papillomavirus (HPV) type 18 was positive in LCNEC whereas both type 16 and 18 were positive in HG-SIN by nested polymerase chain reaction. This case showed TTF1 positivity nonetheless diagnosed as a primary uterine cervical LCNEC confirmed by the detection of HPV genome within the tumor. It is critical to recognize LCNEC of the uterine cervix even in the small biopsy specimen because it is a distinctive clinicopathological entity with highly aggressive behavior and unfavorable outcome.

OBJECTIVE To study the expressions of heat shock protein 70 and human papillomavirus16E7 protein in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and their relationship in the genesis of human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS The expressions of HSP70 and HPV16E7 protein were detected by the immunohistochemical method in 78 specimens with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, 24 specimens with vocal cord polyps and 10 specimens of normal laryngeal tissues. RESULTS In human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, vocal cord polyps and normal laryngeal tissues, the positive expression rates of HSP70 were 69.2 % , 8.3 % and 0 % respectively, with those of HPV16E7 protein being 43.6 % 4.2% and 0 % respectively. There was a significant difference of the expression rate of HSP70 or HPV16E7 protein between the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and the vocal cord polyps(P
