RESUMO
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to assess the clinical and uterine cervix characteristics of patients displaying vaginal discharge with positive results for Mycoplasma sp. and/or Ureaplasma spp. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional study involving women aged 18-45 years was conducted. Microbiological assessments included Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma cultures, as well as human papillomavirus hybrid capture using ecto and endocervix swabs. All tests were two-tailed, and significance was set at p<0.05. RESULTS: Among 324 women, Ureaplasma prevalence was 17.9%, and Mycoplasma prevalence was 3.1%. The Ureaplasma-positive group exhibited a higher frequency of urinary tract infections (39.1 vs. 19%, p=0.002) and human papillomavirus (39.7 vs. 12.8%, p≤0.001) compared with controls. The Mycoplasma-positive group showed a higher frequency of non-contraceptive use compared with controls (66.2 vs. 30.0%, p=0.036). Abnormal colposcopic findings were more prevalent in the Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma-positive group than in controls (positive: 65% vs. control: 35%, p=0.001). Pap smear findings did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSION: Ureaplasma spp. was associated with urinary tract infections and human papillomavirus, while the presence of Mycoplasma sp. was linked to reduced contraceptive use. When analyzing both pathogens together, a higher frequency of abnormal colposcopic findings was observed, with no difference in cytological findings in the positive group.
RESUMO
Background: Cervical discharge as part of cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease is a cause of significant morbidity in sexually active women worldwide. Non-gonococcal and non- chlamydial bacterial pathogens are becoming more prevalent. Aims: This study aims to determine bacterial pathogens causing cervical discharge using culture and/or polymerase chain reaction and assess the clinical and laboratory response to the conventional syndromic kit regimen established by the World Health Organisation. Methods: A retrospective review of records of women with cervical discharge over one year period. Culture and/or polymerase chain reaction results of endocervical swabs of various bacterial pathogens at baseline and after four weeks of treatment with syndromic kit regimen were recorded. Results: A total of 70 case records were reviewed for clinical details, out of which results of bacterial culture and polymerase chain reaction were available for 67 cases. Infectious aetiology was found in 30 (44.7%) patients with Ureaplasma species being the most common organism isolated on culture (18, 26.8%) and polymerase chain reaction (25, 37.3%), respectively. Polymerase chain reaction for Chlamydia trachomatis and Mycoplasma hominis was positive in ten (14.9%) and four (6%) cases, respectively. None of the patients showed positive culture for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Coinfection was seen in eight (11.9%) patients with the majority showing Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma spp. coinfection (five patients). Forty one cases (58.5%) received tab. cefixime 400 mg and tab. azithromycin one gram stat (kit 1), while 29 cases (43.3%) received tab. cefixime 400 mg stat, tab. metronidazole 400 mg and cap. doxycycline 100 mg, both twice daily for 14 days (kit 6). Minimal to no clinical improvement with treatment was seen in 14 out of 32 cases (44%) at the end of four weeks with the conventional kit regimen. Post-treatment culture and/or polymerase chain reaction were positive in nine out of 28 cases (32.1%) with Ureaplasma spp. being the most common. Limitations: Retrospective study design, small sample size and fewer cases with follow-up data were the main limitations. Conclusion: Ureaplasma spp. was the most common infectious cause of cervical discharge in our patients. Treatment given as part of syndromic management led to a clinical and microbiological response in around half and two-third cases, respectively.
RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the value of abnormal protein (TAP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in the prediction of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical lesions in patients with peripheral blood tumors.Methods:A total of 216 patients with cervical lesions who received treatment in Shan County Central Hospital from June 2019 to May 2021 were included in this cross-sectional study. According to HPV results, these patients were divided into a high-risk HPV infection group ( n = 122), a low-risk HPV infection group ( n = 76), and an HIV-uninfected group ( n = 18). TAP and CRP levels in peripheral blood were determined in each group and analyzed. Results:TAP and CRP levels in the high-risk HPV infection group were (243.29 ± 19.43) μm 2 and (37.49 ± 10.50) mg/L, respectively, and they were (125.46 ± 10.37) μm 2 and (26.27 ± 7.28) mg/L in the low-risk HPV infection group, and (74.51 ± 9.29) μm 2 and (74.51 ± 9.29) mg/L in the HIV-uninfected group. There were significant differences in TAP and CRP levels among the three groups ( F = 12.40, 6.34, both P < 0.001). TAP and CRP levels in the low-risk HPV infection group were significantly higher than those in the HIV-uninfected group ( t = 4.02, 3.26, both P < 0.05). TAP and CRP levels in the peripheral blood of patients with chronic cervicitis were (63.25 ± 5.80) μm 2 and (13.37 ± 5.29) mg/L, which were significantly different from those in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or cervical cancer ( F = 21.35, 8.26, both P < 0.05). TAP and CRP levels in the peripheral blood of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade III were significantly higher than those in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade I (both P < 0.05). TAP and CRP levels in the peripheral blood of patients with cervical cancer were significantly higher than those in patients with various grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (all P < 0.05). The Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the load of high-risk human papillomavirus deoxyribonucleic acid (HPV-DNA) was positively correlated with blood TAP and CRP levels ( r = 0.64, 0.24, both P < 0.001). The area under the curve regarding the combined detection of TAP and CRP levels was 0.927 (95% CI: 0.873-0.967), with sensitivity and specificity of 91.0% and 93.6%, respectively. Conclusion:TAP and CRP levels in peripheral blood can reflect HPV infection and cervical lesion and are closely related to the type of HPV infection and the degree of cervical lesion. Combined detection of the two can improve the diagnostic efficiency of cervical cancer and deserves clinical promotion.
RESUMO
Resumen Las cervicitis es una condición frecuente causada principalmente por agentes de transmisión sexual. Su presentación clínica varía desde cuadros asintomáticos hasta procesos inflamatorios extensos, que incluso asemejan un tumor maligno. Presentamos el caso de una adolescente que presentó úlceras genitales, síntomas generales y cérvix necrótico con aspecto tumoral. Los estudios de laboratorio confirmaron una co-infección por virus herpes simplex 2 (HSV-2) y Mycoplasma genitalium. El estudio histológico descartó una neo- plasia. Evolucionó favorablemente al tratamiento antimicrobiano, con recuperación progresiva del aspecto del cérvix. La cervicitis en raras ocasiones se presenta con compromiso necrótico. La co-infección por HSV-2 y M. genitalium, en este caso, pudo ser el determinante del daño cervical y la necrosis. Una evaluación acuciosa y estudio con exámenes diagnósticos de alta sensibilidad y especificidad permitieron hacer un diagnóstico y tratamiento adecuado.
Abstract Cervicitis is a frequent condition caused mainly by sexually trans- mitted agents. The clinical spectrum varies from absence of symptoms to extensive inflammatory processes that may simulate a malignant neoplasm. We present a clinical case of an adolescent with genital ulcers and systemic disease. Speculoscopy revealed a tumoral-looking cervix. Laboratory studies confirm infection with herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) and Mycoplasma genitalium, together with a histological study that ruled out neoplasia. It progresses favorably to antimicrobial treatment, with recovery of the appearance of the cervix. Cervicitis rarely presents with necrotic involvement. Co-infection with HSV-2 and M. genitalium infection may have been the determinant of cervical damage and the necrotic appearance. A thorough evaluation and study with highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tests allowed an adequate diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT Purpose: The rat cervicitis model was established with 20% phenol glue to explore the therapeutic effect of Kangfuxiaomi shuan II on rat cervicitis and its mechanism. Methods: After modeling, the rats were treated with Shuangzuotai suppository (37.84 mg/kg), Kangfuxiaoyan shuan (205.6 mg/kg) and Kangfuxiaomi shuan II (40, 80, 160 mg/kg). The histopathological changes and injury degree of cervix in rats were evaluated by vulvar inflammation score and organ index. The therapeutic effect of Kangfuxiaomi shuan II on cervicitis was evaluated by detecting the levels of copper-protein (CP), C-reactive protein (CRP), Rat interleukin 6 (IL-6), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum and epidermal growth factor (EGF), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in cervical tissue. Results: Compared with the model group, the vulvar inflammation score and cervical index of rats in other groups decreased significantly (P<0.01). Kangfuxiaomi shuan II could significantly reduce the levels of CP, CRP, and MDA in serum of rats with cervicitis, and significantly increase the activity of SOD in serum of rats with cervicitis (P<0.01). The levels of EGF and iNOS in cervical tissue of rats also increased in different degrees, while the level of COX-2 decreased significantly (P<0.01), which significantly improved the pathological degree of vulvar inflammation in rats with cervicitis. Conclusions: Kangfuxiaomi shuan II has a certain therapeutic effect on cervicitis in rats, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of inflammatory cytokine network and immunity.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) is a medicinal plant extract used topically as a hemostatic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant agent. Its cytoprotective effect mainly depends on its pleiotropic properties by modulating inflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. This study aims to test the possible therapeutic effect of ABS in the treatment of erosive and inflammatory conditions occurring in the uterine cervix. METHODS: Twenty-four female Wistar Albino rats were used in the present study. Trichloracetic acid was applied intravaginally to establish an experimental rat model of cervicitis. The rats were randomly divided into three groups: group I (injury), group II (injury+isotoinc saline), and group III (injury+ABS). After 3 estrous cycles of ABS and isotonic saline treatment, the amount of inflammation, vascular congestion and erosion were evaluated in the cervical tissues by using a modified semi-quantitative scale of 0-3. Immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal antibodies against IL-1β was also performed. RESULTS: Compared with group I and II, the ABS group showed the least inflammatory cell infiltration, vascular congestion and cervical erosion, compared with the ABS group prominent IL-1β staining observed in group I and group II. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that ABS is a highly effective alternative to induce normal cervical epithelium and can be used safely in the treatment of cervical inflammation with or without cervical erosion.
RESUMO OBJETIVO: Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) é um extrato de plantas medicinais utilizado topicamente como um agente hemostático, anti-inflamatório e antioxidante. O seu efeito citoproteico depende principalmente das suas propriedades pleiotrópicas por meio da modulação de mediadores inflamatórios tais como IL-1β, IL-6 e TNF-a. O objetivo deste estudo é testar o possível efeito terapêutico do ABS no tratamento de condições erosivas e inflamatórias que ocorrem no colo uterino. MÉTODOS: Vinte e quatro ratas Wistar Albino foram utilizadas no presente estudo. O ácido tricloroacético foi aplicado intravaginalmente para estabelecer um modelo experimental de cervicite em ratos. Os ratos foram divididos aleatoriamente em três grupos: grupo I (lesão), grupo II (lesão + fisiológico sérico) e grupo III (lesão + ABS). Após três ciclos estrais de ABS e tratamento fisiológico sérico, as quantidades de inflamação, congestionamento vascular e erosão foram avaliadas nos tecidos cervicais usando uma escala semiquantitativa modificada de 0-3. Coloração imuno-histoquímica com anticorpos monoclonais contra IL-1β também foi realizada. RESULTADOS: Em comparação com os grupos I e II, o grupo ABS mostrou menos infiltração de células inflamatórias, congestionamento vascular e erosão cervical. Além disso, em comparação com o grupo ABS, observou-se uma coloração proeminente de IL-1β no grupo I e no grupo II. CONCLUSÃO: Nossos dados sugerem que o ABS é uma alternativa altamente eficaz para induzir o epitélio cervical normal e pode ser utilizado com segurança no tratamento da inflamação cervical com ou sem erosão cervical.

Objective To explore the association of genotypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) with cervicitis, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and carcinoma in situ of cervix. Methods A total of 464 patients with cervical biology admitted to Hefei women and child health care hospital from October, 2014 to October, 2015 were selected. Among them, there were 242 cases of cervicitis, 222 cases of CIN (76 of group Ⅰ, 71 of group Ⅱ, and 66 of group Ⅲ), and 9 cases of cervical cancer. Hybrid chip technology was used to detect cervical secretions of patients, and 21 kinds of HPV DNA were typed according to histopathological biopsy. Results The HPV infection was found in 464 patients with cervical lesions. Among them, 354 cases (76.3%) had HPV infection with 232 cases (65.5%) of single HPV infection and 122 cases (34.5%) of multiple infections included. The rate of HPV infection was 64.9% in the group of cervicitis, while the rate was 86.8% in group I of CIN and in group II of CIN, the rate of HPV infection was 87.3%. Surprisingly, the HPV infection rate in group III of CIN was as high as 90.9%. The infection rate of HPV in the patients with CIN was significantly higher than those with cervicitis (P<0.001). All patients with cervical cancer were infected with HPV. Conclusions Persistent infection of high-risk HPV subtypes increases the hazard of cervical tumor and CIN. Therefore, genotyping of HPV DNA is helpful for screening and prediction of cervical cancer.
RESUMO
This study evaluated the prevalence of cervicitis and endometritis and their interrelations in crossbred dairy cows that were more than 60 days in milk (DIM), and the efficiency of the cytology technique (cytobrush) and histology as diagnostic methods for these diseases. The reproductive tracts (n=149) derived from cows were collected from a slaughterhouse and grossly evaluated to determine uterine involution and the phase of the estrous cycle. Subsequently, cervical and uterine cytological evaluations were done to characterize the inflammatory response as cervicitis (with a neutrophilic count greater than 5%) or endometritis (with more than 6% neutrophils). Additionally, randomly obtained samples from the cervix and uterus were collected for histological evaluation. Cytological evaluation revealed that the frequency of cervicitis was 6% (9/149), and endometritis was diagnosed in 8.1% (12/149) of the samples; both inflammatory reactions were diagnosed 2.1% (3/149) in three of these. Histological evaluation revealed that of the cows diagnosed with cervicitis by cytology, 66.6% (6/9) had no inflammatory reaction in the cervical mucosa, and 33.3% (3/9) had mild inflammation in this region. Histological evaluation of the uterine horn revealed that of the 12 cows diagnosed with endometritis by cytology, 50% (6/12) of these had a histological diagnosis of mild and moderate inflammatory responses, 8.3% (1/12) of these demonstrated a severe inflammatory response, while no inflammatory reaction was identified in 41.7% (5/12) of the endometrial biopsies evaluated. In conclusion, the endometrial and cervical inflammatory response diagnosed by the cytobrush technique persisted in 12.1% of the cows. Comparatively, the frequency of the inflammatory responses at the cervix and uterus was reduced by histological analysis relative to cytological evaluation with the cytobrush technique.
O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência de cervicite e endometrite citológicas e suas inter-relações em vacas leiteiras mestiças com mais de 60 dias pós-parto (DPP), bem como avaliar as técnicas de citologia (cytobrush) e histologia como métodos diagnósticos para estas doenças. Foram utilizados 149 tratos reprodutivos de vacas com mais de 60 DPP de abatedouro e avaliados macroscopicamente para determinar a involução uterina e a fase do ciclo estral. Posteriormente, realizou-se citologia cervical e uterina para o diagnóstico de inflamação utilizando como ponto de corte, contagem de polimorfonucleares (PMN) superior a 5% e 6%, respectivamente, para cervicite e endometrite citológica. Também foram coletadas amostras de cérvix e útero para histologia. Do total de vacas, identificaram-se 6% (9/149) com cervicite e 8,1% (12/149) com endometrite citológica, sendo três destes animais (2,1%) com ambas as inflamações. Histologicamente, dos animais com cervicite citológica, 66,6% (6/9) não apresentaram infiltrado inflamatório na mucosa cervical e 33,3% (3/9) apresentaram inflamação leve. A histologia uterina mostrou que de 12 vacas com endometrite citológica, 50% (6/12) apresentaram infiltrados inflamatórios leves a moderados, 8,3% (1/12) grave e 41,7% (5/12) não tinham Inflamação endometrial. Concluiu-se que a inflamação endometrial e cervical, por meio da técnica de citologia, persistiu em 12,1% das vacas com mais de 60 DPP. Quando se utiliza a histologia como método de diagnóstico, a detecção de inflamação cervical e uterina é inferior ao detectado pela técnica de citologia por meio do esfregaço endometrial (cytobrush).

RESUMO
Resumen OBJETIVO: Investigar las posibles causas de los conos blancos, establecer estrategias para disminuir su incidencia y desarrollar protocolos de seguimiento. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, retrospectivo, de casos y controles. Se incluyeron las pacientes a quienes se efectuó una conización en el Hospital Universitario La Paz. Las variables analizadas más importantes fueron: anatomía patológica de la pieza y su relación con la biopsia y citologías previas, longitud del cono, presencia o no de artefacto y de cervicitis. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron: χ2, prueba exacta de Fisher, t de Student, U de Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis y Kolmogorov-Smirnov. RESULTADOS: Se integraron dos grupos: 371 conos positivos (85.9%) y 61 negativos (14.1%), con diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la citología, colposcopia y biopsia. Hubo mayor porcentaje de lesiones de menor grado en las pacientes con conización blanca. La longitud del cono fue menor en el grupo de análisis y en éste también se observó mayor porcentaje de cervicitis y artefactos. CONCLUSIONES: Las causas de lesión residual luego de una conización son variadas y difíciles de demostrar. Las pacientes con citología anómala e inflamación o atrofia deben recibir tratamiento para evitar falsos positivos y mejorar la técnica quirúrgica para impedir artefactos.
Abstract OBJECTIVES: to investigate the possible causes of the negative cones, to establish strategies to reduce their incidence and to develop monitoring protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective observational cases and controls study of 432 conizations made in the Hospital Universitario La Paz (HULP) between 2013 and 2015. The most important analysed variables were the pathological anatomy of the piece and its relationship with the biopsy and previous cytology, the cone length, as well as the presence and artefact and cervicitis. The analysis it was used Chi - Square and Fisher´s test, T-Student, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis and Kolmogorov- Smirnov. RESULTS: There are two groups: 371 positive (85,9%) and 61 negative cones (14,1%). We find statistically significant differences in the cytology, colposcopy and biopsy pre-conization, finding a major percentage of injuries of lesser degree in the patients with negative cone. The length of the cone was lower in the analysis group and in this we also observed a greater percentage of cervicitis and artefacts. CONCLUSIONS: The causes that make the remaining injury not appear after a diagnosed and/or therapeutic conization are a wide variety and difficult to prove. We should try to treat the patients with inflammation or atrophy to avoid false positives in the cytology and biopsy, improve the surgical technique to avoid artefacts and perform conservative management of low-risk injuries.
RESUMO
Background: Cervicitis is one of the commonest lesions of female genital tract affecting more than half of all women at some point during their adult lives and has been seen in 80% of women with any gynaecological complaint. It refers to the inflammation of the cervix which may be acute or chronic and vaginal discharge is the commonest complaint in patients of patients of cervicitis. Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Unani formulation in the management vaginal discharge due to cervicitis. Methods: A randomized observational study was carried out at the Department of Amraz e Niswan wa Atfal, AKTC, AMU, Aligarh. Thirty (n=30) patients of 18-40 years of age with chronic cervicitis were selected and intervened with Unani formulations prepared from Joshanda Mazu (Quercus infectoria) administered locally in the form of intra vaginal tampon (pessary) for 7 consecutive nights after menses. Pre and post treatment analysis was done on subjective and objective parameters and were assessed by paired t-test. Result: This Unani formulation showed highly statistically significant improvement in all the subjective (p<0.001) and objective (p<0.001) parameters of chronic cervicitis after completion of treatment. Conclusion: The study results suggest that the trials formulations are quite effective and hence can be used as an alternate therapy in the management of cervicitis. No Adverse effects were noted during the complete course of the study trial.
RESUMO
Background: Unani system of medicine is based on the theory of Mizaj which is considered as the basics of Unani therapeutics. Mizaj is an Arabic word which means Aamezish, Ikhtilat or Tabiyat. In English language, the word Temperament is used to describe Mizaj which is derived from the latin word Tempero, which means to mix together. Every individual has its own unique temperament hence reacts to various internal and external stimuli viz. drug, climate, food, emotions, body reactions etc. differently according to temperament he or she possess. Hence, Mizaj plays an important role in assisting specific treatment to the patient of any disease. Cervicitis is considered as one of the most common gynaecological complaints during reproductive age in which patient experiences foul smelling vaginal discharge, lowback pain, dysuria, dyspareania, suprapubic pain etc. Since, in Unani system of medicine, diseased condition is produced due to the imbalance among the quantity or quality of four humours present in our body i-e Khilt-e Balgham, Khilt-e Dam, Khilt-e Safra,Khilt-e Safra, and Khilt-e Sauda, hence basic principle of treatment is according to particular Khilt whose excess is considered as the cause of that particular disease. Methods: Ancient Unani physicians including Hippocrates, Ibn SIna And Majusi, relate cervicitis with the domination of Khilt e Damvi. This paper presents the observational study carried out in the Department of Amraze Niswan Wa Atfal, A.K.T.C, Aligarh. It has been conducted on the patients of cervicitis. Results: From the present study, it was observed that maximum number of patient i.e. 30 (50.0%) belongs to Damvi Mizaj, followed by 18(30.0%) of Safravi Mizaj and 12(20.0%) of Balghami Mizaj. None of the patient is of Saudavi Mizaj. Conclusions: These findings suggested that cervicitis is likely to be predisposed by the Damvi constitution.
RESUMO
Objective To discuss the efficacy of Baofukang combined with clindamycin injection in treatment of chronic cervicitis patients with high-risk human papilloma virus infection (hr-HPV).Methods Totally 100 patients who had chronic cervicitis with hr-HPV were selected and divided into two groups randomly.The patients in control group (49 cases) were given Baofukang.The patients in observation group (51 cases) were given Baofukang combined with clindamycin injection.The efficacy of Baofukang combined with clindamycin injection in treatment of chronic cervicitis patients with hr-HPV was evaluated by efficacy,HPV negative rate,inflammatory factors before and after treatment and adverse reaction during treatment.Results After treatment,the effective rate of observation group was 92.1%,and the effective rate of control group was 75.5%,the effective rate of observation group was higher than that of control group (P < 0.05).After treatment,the HPV negative rate in observation group was 90.2%,the control group was 59.2%,the HPV negative rate of observation group was higher than that of control group (P < 0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistical significance on hs-CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α between two groups.After treatment,the hs-CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α were decreased in two groups (P < 0.05).The hs-CRP,IL-6,and TNF-α of observation group were lower than those of control group (P < 0.05).There was no statistical significance on adverse reaction between two groups.Conclusion Baofukang combined with clindamycin injection had a good therapeutic effect on chronic cervicitis with hr-HPV.It could inhibit HPV and inflammatory factors well.It was safe and worthy of clinical use.
RESUMO
Objective:To detect the expressions of p16INK4a protein in the cervical lesion tissues of the Mongolian patients, and to explore the relationship between its expression and the occurrence and development of cervical cancer in the Mongolian patients.Methods:A total of 100 cases of paraffin sections of cervical cancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN),chronic cervicitis and uterine leiomyoma were divided into 25 cases of cervical cancer, 35 cases of CIN, 20 cases of chronic cervicitis, and 20 cases of uterine leiomyoma groups. The expressions of p16INK4a protein in different cervical tissues were detected by immunohistochemical SP method.Results:The positive rates of p16INK4a protern in cervical cancer, CIN, chronic cervicitis and uterine leiomyoma tissnes were 100.0%, 74.3%, 25.0%,and 10.0%, respectively.The results of K-W H rank sum test for multiple sample comparisons showed that the positive expression rate of p16INK4a protein in cervical cancer tissue was significantly higher than those in CIN, chronic cervicitis and uterine leiomyoma tissues(P<0.05).Conclusion:p16INK4a protein can be used as a indicator to screen the Mongolian patients with early cervical cancer.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate and analyze the clinical efficacy of LEEP knife combined with chitosan cervical antibacterial membrane in the treatment of chronic cervicitis and to observe the psychological intervention. Methods 100 cases of Chronic Cervicitis Patients in our hospital from January 2015 to October 2016 were selected as the research object. They were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, each group had 50 cases. Patients in the control group were treated with LEEP knife surgery, and no drugs were used after the operation. The patients in the experimental group were treated with LEEP knife combined with chitosan and cervical antibacterial membrane. Psychological intervention was carried out, and the mental health of the patients was paid close attention to, and communication and communication with patients were strengthened. The therapeutic effects of the experimental group and the control group were compared and analyzed. Results After the corresponding treatment, the effective rate of the experimental group and the control group was 100.0%. The cure rate of the control group was 80.0%, significantly lower than that of the experimental group(96.0%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the SAS score of the experimental group was (40.1±6.2) points, and the SDS score was (38.4±7.9) points. The scores of SAS in the control group were (49.6±7.2) points, and the SDS score was (48.2±8.5) points. There were three cases of complications in the experimental group, the incidence of complications was significantly lower than that of the control group (20.0%), The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The clinical effect of LEEP knife combined with chitosan cervical antibacterial membrane in the treatment of chronic cervicitis treated with psychological intervention, high cure rate, low probability of complications, significantly improve patients' negative emotions, has clinical significance.
RESUMO
Las infecciones de transmisión sexual se consideran un problema de salud pública en el mundo debido a su creciente incidencia y elevada morbimortalidad (1). Las infecciones por Chlamydia trachomatis son las más comunes y costosas de las enfermedades de transmisión sexual bacterianas (2). En los estudios llevados a cabo en diferentes países se han encontrado prevalencias de C. trachomatis entre 1.7% y 25%, siendo más alta en la población menor de 25 años (1). La infección por clamidia genital causa cervicitis y salpingitis en mujeres, y uretritis y conjuntivitis tanto en hombres como en mujeres. Sin embargo, las infecciones por clamidia suelen producir pocos o ningún síntoma (en aproximadamente el 70% de las mujeres y el 50% de los hombres) y pueden permanecer sin ser detectadas y sin tratamiento. Si no se trata, esta infección de transmisión sexual puede progresar y causar complicaciones con graves consecuencias sobre la salud reproductiva de las mujeres, incluida la enfermedad inflamatoria pélvica (EPI) que puede conducir al embarazo ectópico y a la infertilidad de las trompas (3)...(AU)
