RESUMO
Objective @#To investigate lim domain protein 4 (LMO4) functions and mechanisms in regulating proliferation of skin squamous cells (A431) , the shRNAs targeted to human LMO4 were coated by calcium phosphate nanoparticles (NP) and transfected into A431 cells to inhibit LMO4 expression. @*Methods @#Reverse transcription and quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( RT⁃qPCR) , immunohistochemistry analysis and Western blot were used to detect expression of the interest genes. The expression vectors with shRNA targeted to human LMO4 (NP/sh⁃L) were coated by the calcium phosphate nanoparticles , and transfected into A431 . The MTT assay was conducted to determine cell proliferation after transfected for 24 , 36 and 48 h. Cells were stained with propidium iodide and examined cell cycles by using flow cytometry. @*Results @# LMO4 expressed at higher levels both in the skin squacalcium phosphate nanoparticles and DNA was 10 ∶ 1 . There was no significant difference of transfection efficiency between the NP/sh⁃L and lipofection approaches. The MTT assay showed that silencing LMO4 inhibited proliferadown did not alter expression of CDK4 and cyclin D1 .@*Conclusion@#The calcium phosphate nanoparticles could bind and transfer the foreign DNA into the targeted cells with high efficiency. Silencing LMO4 decreased expression of cyclin E and CDK2 resulted in inhibition of cell proliferation.
RESUMO
Objetivo: Com o presente estudo, buscou-se verificar a quantidade de exames de colpocitologia oncótica coletados em Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) escolhida, determinar quantas e quais são as alterações encontradas nesses exames e quais foram as condutas e acompanhamentos realizados em pacientes com exames alterados. Métodos: Foram analisados 446 exames de colpocitologia oncótica realizados em uma UBS do centro-oeste do Paraná. As pacientes com exame alterado foram selecionadas e foi feita uma análise desses prontuários a fim de verificar a conduta e o acompanhamento dessas pacientes. Resultados: Foram encontrados 32 exames com alterações, sendo três de uma mesma paciente. Dessas 30 pacientes, a grande maioria correspondia a células escamosas atípicas de significado indeterminado (ASC-US), possivelmente não neoplásicas, e 28 pacientes retornaram para receber uma conduta inicial, sendo principalmente o encaminhamento para a coleta de novo preventivo em seis meses ao serviço de oncologia clínica. Conclusão: O presente estudo concluiu que a hipótese principal foi verdadeira, a qual foi descrita como prevalência significativa de lesões intraepiteliais de alto grau, embora não seja a mais frequente, e descontinuidade por parte das pacientes que obtiveram esse resultado. Além disso, notou-se grande encaminhamento à atenção terciária, o que não é indicado pelo Ministério da Saúde.(AU)
Objective: With the present study, we sought to verify the amount of cytopathological tests collected in the chosen basic health unit, to determine how many and what are the alterations found in these tests and what were the conducts and follow-ups performed in patients with altered exams. Methods: We analyzed 446 preventive tests performed in a basic health unit in the Midwest of Paraná, and patients with altered examination were selected and an analysis of these medical records was made in order to verify the conduct and follow-up of the patients. Results: Thirty-two tests with alterations were performed, 3 of which were the same patient. Of these 30 patients, the vast majority corresponded to atypical cells of squamous meaning possibly non-neoplastic (ASC-US), and 28 patients returned to receive an initial approach, mainly being referred to the collection of preventive new in 6 months and to the clinical oncology service. Conclusion: The present study concluded that the main hypothesis was true, which was described as a significant prevalence of high-grade intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), although not the most frequent, and discontinuity on the part of the patients who obtained this result. In addition, there was a large referral to tertiary care, which is not indicated by the Ministry of Health.(AU)

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work was to trace an epidemiological and clinical profile of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cases diagnosed as lip and tongue SCC from June 2001 to 2018 at a pathology anatomy service located in Northeastern Brazil. Age, sex, duration, location, growth type, staining, metastasis, etiologic agents and lesion size data were obtained fr om patient clinical files and histopathological reports. A total of 124 cases were recorded, with tongue SCC being the most preval ent. The common characteristics of both assessed SCCs included higher frequency in men, mean age of 60 years old, evidence mostly of exophytic lesions and maximum size of 4 cm, predominantly diagnosed after a maximum of 1 year of appearance. Regarding divergent findings, lip SCC occurred mostly in the lower portion of the lip, presenting a predominantly leukoplastic color, with regular smoking habits and sunlight identified as the main etiological agents, and no strong relation to metastasis. On the other hand, tongue SCC mostly exhibiting predominantly erythroleukoplastic staining, with a greater relationship to alcohol - associated smoking and regular smoking habits. The highest percentage of patients with metastasis presented tongue SCC. Although lip and tongue SCC display a male preference, an increasing amount of female involvement has been noted over the years, due to the adoption of deleterious habits such as smoking and alcoholism. Tongue SCC presented a greater relationship with metastasis and clinical leukoeritroplastic evidence. This greater aggressiveness could be related to the unfavorable locat ion of these lesions in relation to lip SCC, sometimes making it difficult to identify in their early development stages.
RESUMEN: El objetivo de este trabajo fue rastrear un perfil epidemiológico y clínico de los casos de carcinoma oral de células escamosas (CCE) diagnosticados como CCE de labios y lengua entre junio de 2001 y 2018 en un servicio de anatomía patológica ubicado en el Noreste de Brasil. Los datos de edad, sexo, duración, ubicación, tipo de crecimiento, tinción, metástasis, agentes etiológicos y tamaño de la lesión se obtuvieron de los archivos clínicos de los pacientes y los informes histopatológicos. Se revisaron un total de 124 casos, siendo el CCE de lengua el más prevalente. Las características comunes de ambos CCE evaluados incluyeron mayor frecuencia en hombres, edad promedio de 60 años, evidencia mayoritariamente de lesiones exofíticas y tamaño máximo de 4 cm, diagnosticado predominantemente después de un máximo de 1 año de aparición. En cuanto a los hallazgos divergentes, el CCE labial se presentó mayoritariamente en la porción inferior del labio, presentando un color predominantemente leucoplásico, con el hábito de fumar habitualmente y la luz solar identificados como los principales agentes etiológicos, sin una fuerte relación con las metástasis. Por otro lado, el CEC de la lengua presenta en su mayoría tinción predominantemente eritroleucoplásica, con una mayor relación con el tabaquismo asociado con el alcohol y con los hábitos habituales de tabaquismo. El mayor porcentaje de pacientes con metástasis presentó CCE de lengua. Aunque el CCE de labios y lengua muestra una preferencia en hombres, se ha observado una cantidad cada vez mayor prevalencia en mujeres a lo largo de los años, debido a la adopción de hábitos nocivos como el tabaquismo y el alcoholismo. El CCE de lengua presentó una mayor relación con la metástasis y la evidencia clínica leucoeritroplásica. Esta mayor agresividad podría estar relacionada con la ubicación desfavorable de estas lesiones en relación al CCE labial, dificultando en ocasiones su identificación en sus primeras etapas de desarrollo.
RESUMO
Avaliar a estrogenização tópica vaginal no seguimento de citologia oncótica de significado indeterminado, tipo ASC-H, na pós-menopausa. Estudo, tipo caso-controle, que avaliou mulheres menopausadas com diagnóstico de ASC-H, divididas em dois grupos, com e sem uso de estrogênio tópico vaginal (GE e GNE). Foi calculada razão de chance a partir de tabelas de contingência construídas com variação robusta. Foram analisados 128 prontuários, sendo 27% de pacientes do GNE e 72% do GE. Houve aumento de diagnósticos ASC-H no GNE. No GE, aproximadamente 68 vezes menos colposcopias inadequadas e diminuição do número de colposcopias e Cirurgia de Alta Frequência (CAF), com evidência na redução em 21 e 12,5 vezes, respectivamente. Diminuição do número de colposcopias com melhor adequação ao exame, número de biópsias inalterado e diminuição do número de cirurgias de alta frequência, no grupo com uso de estrogênio tópico vaginal durante o seguimento.
Current paper evaluates topic vaginal estrogenization following oncotic cytology of undetermined significance, type ASC-H, in postmenopausal women. A case-control study evaluated menopausal women diagnosed with ASC-H, divided into two groups, with and without the use of topic vaginal estrogen (GE and GNE). Odds ratios were calculated from contingency tables built with robust variation. 128 medical records were analyzed, 27% of which were from the GNE and 72% from the GE. There was an increase in ASC-H diagnoses in GNE. In GE, approximately 68 times less inappropriate colposcopies and a decrease in the number of colposcopies and High Frequency Surgery (HFS), with a reduction of 21 and 12.5 times, respectively. Decrease in the number of colposcopies with better adaptation to the exam, unchanged number of biopsies and decrease in the number of high-frequency surgeries, in the group using topic vaginal estrogen during the follow-up.
RESUMO
@#[Abstract] Objective: To explore the mechanism of miR-145-5p on malignant biological behaviors, such as pro-liferation, invasion, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) TE-10 cells. Methods: The expression of miR-145-5p in ESCC cell lines and normal cells was detected by PCR. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to detect the targeted regulation between miR-145-5p and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R). The expres-sions of IGF1R protein and EMT related proteins were detected by Western blotting. Transwell assay and CCK-8 assay were carried out to detect the effects of miR-145-5p/IGF1R axis on the proliferation, migration andinvasionofTE-10 cells. Results: miR-145-5p was down-regulated in ESCC cell lines with the lowest expression in TE-10 cells (P<0.01orP<0.05).Over-expression of miR-145-5p significantly inhibited proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of TE-10 cells (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Dual luciferase reporter gene assay con-firmed that miR-145-5p targetedly down-regulated IGF1R expression (P<0.01). The restora-tion experiments further confirmed that simultaneous over-expression of miR-145-5p and IGF1R significantly attenuated the promotion effect of IGF1R on proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of TE-10 cells (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusions: Over-expression of miR-145-5p inhibits proliferation, invasion, migration and EMT of ESCC TE-10 cells by down-regulating IGF1R.
RESUMO
Objective @#To compare the clinical effect of the reconstruction of defects of the surgical area with the facial-submental artery island flap (FSAIF) after resection of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OC-SCC) and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OP-SCC).@*Methods@#A total of 203 cases of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma and 72 cases of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were treated with the FSAIFs. The complications and success rate of the two groups were observed. The swallowing and voice functions of the two groups were evaluated and compared 6 months after the operation. The survival of the two groups was followed up. @*Results@#No significant differences were found in TNM stage, the skin paddle of the flap, the rate of flap failure, or local complications between the OC-SCC and OP-SCC groups (P > 0.05). Significant differences in swallowing and speech outcomes were observed between the groups (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in survival outcome between the groups after 9-59 months of follow-up.@*Conclusion@#FSAIF can be used for reconstructing the defect in oral cavity or oropharynx, but the swallowing function of reconstructing the defect in oropharynx is poor.

@#Introduction: Meloxicam is a NSAID which able to inhibit the cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2). The purpose of this research is to explain the effect of Meloxicam in inhibit the growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) induced by benzopyrenes. The apoptosis and proliferation of OSCC, the p53, Ras and COX-2 expression used as indicator. Methods: male mice were induced by benzopyrene 10 mg/kg body weight was given topically on buccal mucosa 2 times a week for 4 weeks for induced the OSCC. Meloxicam was given orally with 3 different doses was 50mg/kg, 100mg/kg, and 200mg/kg.b.w given once a day for 60 days. The control groups were given with CMC-1% 0.1ml/10g body weight. The buccal mucosa then biopsy and staining with immunohistochemistry to analyzed the p53, Ras, COX-2 expression, apoptosis and proliferation of OSCC. Results: The increase of Meloxicam dose is proportional to the increase in wild p53 expression and apoptosis, and inversely proportional to the expression of mutant race, cox-2 and the proliferation of OSCC. Conclusion: Meloxicam able to inhibit the growth of OSCC induced by benzopyrenes.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: The cervical cytological examination and the investigation of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are well-known valuable tools for screening of cervical lesions, since they allow the early diagnosis of cancer and its precursor lesions. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of high-risk HPV DNA detection by hybrid capture to predict intraepithelial lesions and cancer in patients with initial cervical cytological diagnosis of atypical squamous cells (ASC). Method: Retrospective analysis of histological or cervical cytological results after one-year follow-up from hybrid capture for high-risk HPV DNA research in patients with previous ASC diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive values of hybrid capture were calculated in relation to the identification of squamous intraepithelial lesions. Results: Among the 163 patients previously diagnosed with ASC and absence of high-risk HPV DNA, nine (5.5%) showed low-grade (LSIL) or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) during the follow-up. On the other hand, among the 110 patients presenting ASC and high-risk HPV DNA positivity, 43 (39%) showed cervical lesions within one year. Sensitivity and specificity values and positive and negative predictive values applied to hybrid capture for the identification of squamous intraepithelial lesions were 82.3%, 69.3%, 38.1%, and 94.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Our results showed a high negative predictive value of hybrid capture for cervical lesions detection, in patients with previous diagnosis of ASC, when the high-risk HPV DNA research was negative.

RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the value of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 E6 protein detection in shunting and prognosis in patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Methods A total of 98 patients with ASCUS or LSIL from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between May 2014 and May 2015 were selected as the subjects. All of them received the thin-cytologic test (TCT), HPV DNA, HPV16/18 E6 protein tests and colposcopy examination. After 3-year follow-up of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade Ⅰor bellow lesions diagnosed by biopsy and 30 negative controls, the above tests were performed again. The efficacies of all the tests were analyzed. The value of CIN grade Ⅱ or above was predicted. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value in predicting CIN grade Ⅱor above lesions of HPV16/18 E6 protein , HPV DNA and HPV16/18 DNA was 30.8%, 95.3%, 50.0%, 90.0%, respectively; 84.6%, 37.6%, 17.2%, 94.1%, respectively and 61.5%, 67.1%, 22.2%, 91.9%, respectively in shunting study. The relative risk (RR) of CIN grade Ⅱor above lesions in patients with positive HPV16/18 E6 protein, persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA and positive HPV16/18 DNA was 13.429, 10.231 and 8.343, respectively in the follow-up study. Odds ratio (OR) of HPV16/18 E6 positive protein presenting persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA was 34.833 (95% CI 5.020-241.711). Conclusions In patients with ASCUS and LSIL, the specificity and positive predictive value of HPV16/18 E6 protein in predicting CIN grade Ⅱ or above lesions are higher than those of HPV DNA and HPV16/18 DNA. Moreover, these patients with HPV16/18 E6 protein positive have a higher risk of developing CIN grade Ⅱ or above lesions and persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between perineural invasion (PNI) and clinicopathological features as well as the prognosis of cervical squamous carcinoma. Methods The clinico-pathological data of 256 patients with cervical squamous carcinoma (ⅠB1-ⅡA2) treated with extensive resection and pelvic lymphadenectomy in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2010 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. PNI of tumor area in the pathological sections was observed by using microscope. The relationship between PNI and clinicopathological features was analyzed. The effect of PNI on postoperative 5-year survival was also analyzed. Results There were 22 (8.6%) cases of PNI among 256 patients with cervical squamous carcinoma. PNI-positive had a relation with tumor stage, depth of invasion, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression showed that positive lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor for PNI (OR = 3.89, 95% CI 1.50-10.12, P =0.005); infiltration depth > 1/2 might be an independent risk factor for PNI (OR = 7.30, 95% CI 0.91-58.74, P = 0.062). The 5-year total survival rate was 89.9% for 256 patients with cervical squamous carcinoma. And the 5-year total survival rate of PNI-positive patients was lower than that of PNI-negative patients (50.3% vs. 93.4%). Cox regression showed that PNI-positive was a risk factor for 5-year total survival (HR = 9.73, 95%CI 4.31-21.98, P < 0.01); after adjusting the relevant clinicopathological features, PNI-positive was still a risk factor of 5-year total survival (HR = 8.12, 95% CI 2.47-26.73, P = 0.001). Conclusions The occurrence of PNI in cervical squamous carcinoma of ⅠB1 -ⅡA2 is associated with clinical stage, depth of invasion, LVSIand lymph node metastasis. PNI-positive may be a new risk factor for the prognosis of cervical squamous carcinoma.
RESUMO
Resumen OBJETIVO: Describir los desenlaces colposcópicos de pacientes con alteraciones citológicas atendidas en una institución colombiana. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional, trasversal y retrospectivo al que se incluyeron pacientes a quienes se tomó una colposcopia, indicada por reporte anormal en la citología (2012-2106). La muestra se seleccionó a partir de un muestreo aleatorio, estratificado por grupos etarios. Se establecieron las frecuencias de las alteraciones colposcópicas y de los reportes histológicos. RESULTADOS: Se incluyeron 372 pacientes. La principal indicación de la colposcopia fue el reporte de atipia de células escamosas de significado indeterminado (70.6%), seguido por lesiones intraepiteliales de bajo grado (16.9%) y pólipos endocervicales (2.9%). La colposcopia fue negativa en 32% de los casos, positiva en 31% y con inflamación en 21%. El resto de los casos correspondió a atrofia o pólipos. De las colposcopias positivas, el principal reporte fue de cambios menores o grado 1; sobre todo en las pacientes de 15 a 24 años. De las pacientes con biopsia se reportó un caso de adenocarcinoma (3.1%) y otro de carcinoma in situ (3.1%) en el mismo grupo etario. CONCLUSIÓN: La colposcopia identificó lesiones de alto y bajo grado clínicamente no significativas. La colposcopia es una herramienta decisiva para el diagnóstico de lesiones premalignas del cuello uterino.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: This study describes the colposcopic results of patients with cytological alterations in a Colombian institution. MATERIALS AND METHODOS: Observational Cross-sectional study based on retrospective data. Patients who underwent colposcopy due to abnormal cytologies during 2012-2106 were included. A stratified random sampling was carried out by age groups. The frequencies of colposcopic alterations and histological results were established. RESULTS: 372 patients were selected. The main indication for colposcopy was the ASCUS report (70.6%), followed by LSIL (16.9%) and endocervical polyps (2.9%). Colposcopy was negative in 32% of the cases, positive in 31% and inflammation in 21%. The rest of cases corresponded to varied findings such as atrophy or polyps. Of the positive colposcopies the main report was minor changes or grade 1; especially in patients between 15-24 years. Of the patients with a biopsy, one case of adenocarcinoma (3.1%) and another of carcinoma in situ (3.1%) were reported in the same age group. CONCLUSIONS: The realization of colposcopy identified the high-grade lesions in this population, but also detected clinically insignificant low-grade lesions. Colposcopy is a key tool for the diagnosis of premalignant lesions of the cervix.
RESUMO
Abstract Objective To assess the management chosen by gynecologists after atypical squamous cells (ASCs) cytology results, and to evaluate the outcomes of these cases in Brazilian women. Methods A prospective observational study evaluated the initial management offered by the gynecologist in the case of 2,458 ASCs cytology results collected between January of 2010 and July of 2016. The outcomes of the cytology, high-risk human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) test and histology were compared in two subgroups: atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and atypical squamous cells-cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H). Results In many cases of ASC-US (36.97%) and ASC-H (40.50%), no clinical actions were taken. Cytology was the most frequent follow-up chosen, including for cases of ASC-H, which goes against the conduct recommended in the national guideline. In women over 30 years of age, the period of time elapsed between an ASC-US result and a new cytology was in 13.03 months, in disagreement with the national guideline recommendations (p< 0.0001). Negative for intraepithelial lesions or malignancy (NILM) cytologic (p = 0.0026) and histologic (p = 0.0017) results in the follow-up were associated with prior ASC-US, while negative results for ASC-H were cytologically (p< 0.0001) and histologically associated with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (p< 0.0001). Two invasive cervical carcinomas (ICCs) were found in the follow-up for ASC-H, and there was a statistically significant association (p = 0.0341). A positive HR-HPV test was associated with ASC-H (p = 0.0075). Conclusion The data suggest that even for a population of Brazilian women assisted at private clinics, the national guidelines recommendations for ASCs results are not followed.
Resumo Objetivo Avaliar a conduta adotada por ginecologistas após resultados citológicos apresentando células escamosas atípicas (ASCs) e os desfechos destes casos em mulheres brasileiras. Métodos Um estudo observacional prospectivo avaliou o manejo clínico inicial do ginecologista nos casos de 2.458 resultados citológicos apresentando ASCs coletados entre janeiro de 2010 e julho de 2016. Os respectivos desfechos citológicos, histológicos e de detecção do papilomavírus humano (HPV) foram comparados entre os subgrupos células escamosas atípicas de significado indeterminado (ASC-US) e células escamosas atípicas não podendo excluir lesão intraepitelial de alto grau (ASC-H). Resultados Nenhuma conduta foi adotada em 36,97% de citologias do tipo ASC-US e 40,5% do tipo ASC-H. A conduta mais escolhida foi a repetição da citologia, inclusive para acompanhamento de ASC-H, o que contraria as diretrizes nacionais. O tempo de realização de uma nova citologia para resultado do tipo ASC-US em mulheres com mais de 30 anos de idade foi de 13,03 meses, também em desacordo com as diretrizes (p< 0,0001). Resultados negativos para lesão intraepitelial ou neoplasia maligna (NILM), tanto citológicos (p = 0,0026) como histológicos (p = 0,0017), foram associados a ASC-US, enquanto que resultados negativos para lesões intraepiteliais escamosas de alto grau (HSILs), citológicos (p< 0,0001) e histológicos, foram associados a ASC-H (p< 0,0001). Dois carcinomas cervicais invasivos foram encontrados durante o acompanhamento para ASC-H e uma associação estatisticamente significante foi estabelecida (p = 0,0341). Um teste de HR-HPV positivo foi associado a ASC-H (p = 0,0075). Conclusão Os dados sugerem que mesmo para uma população de mulheres brasileiras atendidas em clínicas privadas, as recomendações das diretrizes clínicas nacionais para resultados citológicos apresentando ASCs não são seguidas.

Objective@#To investigate the human papillomavirus (HPV) positive rate and its usefulness in predicting CIN2+ in women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) cervical cytology.@*Methods@#A pooled analysis was conducted using published data of hospital classification, HPV positive rate and histopathologic diagnosis in ASC-US population during 2005 to 2017 from 104 studies which enrolled 28 923 ASC-US samples.@*Results@#The overall HPV positive rate was 52.09% (range from 12.06% to 88.68%). The HPV positive rate in 79 tertiary hospitals of 21 244 cases was 52.46%, slightly higher than the 50.87% in 22 second-class hospitals of 6 925 cases. There was no significant difference between specialized hospitals and general hospitals. In addition, the positive rate of HC2 conducted in 66 hospitals with 19 791 cases was 53.13%, which was slightly higher than 51.10% of reverse hybridization from 24 hospitals with 6 338 cases. In 73 studies of 18 163 cases with histological diagnosis, the sensitivity of HPV for detecting CIN2+ was 90.16% (95%CI: 88.91% to 91.28%), specificity was 53.08% (95%CI: 53.02% to 54.57%), positive predictive value was 23.24% and negative predictive value was 97.24%.@*Conclusion@#HPV detection is clinically validated for ASC-US triage, but there is a wide variation of HPV positive rate in population of cervical cytological diagnosis as ASC-US in China, suggesting different diagnostic level between regions and hospitals and further improvement is needed.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the PANArray human papilloma virus (HPV) test, a PCR-based DNA microarray assay, in detecting HPV from patient samples and its concordance with the cobas 4800 HPV and Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The PANArray HPV, cobas 4800 HPV, and HC2 tests were performed on 504 cervical swab samples from patients with atypical cells of undetermined significance at five hospitals. The samples that were interpreted as ‘HPV-other’ type positive in the PANArray HPV test were confirmed by direct sequencing. RESULTS: The concordance rates were 80.8% between the cobas 4800 HPV and PANArray HPV tests [κ=0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52–0.66] and 80.2% (κ=0.6, 95% CI 0.55–0.68) between the HC2 and PANArray HPV tests. Among the 62 patients negative on PANArray HPV (defined as the absence of high risk HPV), but positive on both cobas 4800 HPV and HC2 tests, 42 (67.7%) tested positive for ‘HPV-other’ types on the PANArray HPV test, and 31 (50.0%) had gray zone results [relative light unit/control (RLU/CO), 1.4–9.25] in the HC2 test. Of the patients deemed positive by the PANArray HPV test, 43 tested positive for high-risk (HR) HPV in cobas 4800 HPV and HC 2 tests. Among them, 58.2% showed HR HPV, including HPV 16, by direct sequencing, of which 25% had gray results. CONCLUSION: Results classified as ‘HPV-other’ type by the PANArray HPV test, or gray zone results by HC2 (RLU/CO ratio level 1–10) should be carefully interpreted using comprehensive clinical information.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the progression risk of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) with different clinical managements. METHODS: Women with their first diagnosis of ASCUS cytology were retrieved from the national cervical cancer screening database and linked to the national health insurance research database to identify the management of these women. The incidences of developing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 and invasive cervical cancer (CIN3+) were calculated, and the hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using a Cox proportional hazards model. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the National Taiwan University Hospital and is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (Identifier: NCT02063152). RESULTS: There were total 69,741 women included. Various management strategies including colposcopy, cervical biopsies and/or endocervical curettage, and cryotherapy, failed to reduce the risk of subsequent CIN3+ compared with repeat cervical smears. Loop electrosurgical excision procedure/conization significantly decreased risk of subsequent CIN3+ lesions (HR=0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.07–0.68; p=0.010). Women in their 40s–50s had an approximately 30% risk reduction compared to other age groups. Women with a previous screening history >5 years from the present ASCUS diagnosis were at increased risk for CIN3+ (HR=1.24; 95% CI=1.03–1.49; p=0.020). CONCLUSION: In women of first-time ASCUS cytology, a program of repeat cytology can be an acceptable clinical option in low-resource settings. Caution should be taken especially in women with remote cervical screening history more than 5 years.

Objective@#To evaluate the performance of high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA test for triage ASC-US in Chinese population.@*Methods@#The study population was from Jiyuan city in Henan Province where a cervical cancer screening cohort (4 026 women) was set up from April to July in 2017. Women with ASC-US and complete recall information of colposcope were selected as the study objects. Self-designed questionnaire was used to survey the general information and medical history of cervical cancer, thencervical cytological speciments were collected for cytodiagnosis and HPV DNA test, followed by colposcopy, lesion biopsy and histology diagnose. The diagnosis of histology was used as the gold standard. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) as well as corresponding 95% confidential interval (CI) were calculated.@*Results@#The average age of the included 393 women with ASC-US were (50.81±9.22) years old. The positivity of high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV), HPV16 and HPV18 were 35.6%, 10.69% and 2.80%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for HR-HPV to detect CIN2+ were 84.38% (68.25%-93.14%), 68.70% (63.74%-73.26%), 19.29% (13.61%-26.61%) and 98.02% (95.46%-99.15%). When compared with HR-HPV, HPV16/18 had a lower sensitivity (59.38% (42.26%-74.48%)) and a higher specificity(91.14% (87.75%-93.65%)), the PPV and NPV were 59.38% (25.32%-50.98%) and 91.14% (93.61%-97.77%).@*Conclusion@#It was more effective for HR-HPV to triage ASC-US than HPV16/18. In order to improve the effect of HPV16/18, it should include more HR-HPV types which were more prevalent in Chinese population.
