Relationship between human papillomavirus gene types and cervi-cal diseases / 中国肿瘤临床

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the relationship between human papilloma virus (HPV) gene types and cervical diseases. Methods:The subjects included women with HPV who were diagnosed in the Outpatient Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (Guangzhou, China) from March 1, 2010 to January 31, 2011. A total of 21 HPV DNA types were found in the women using DNA flow-though hybridization genotyping technique, and a questionnaire-type survey was conducted on these pa-tients. In this study, 256 cases of normal or inflamed cervix, 34 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia I (CINⅠ), 61 cases of CINⅡor CINⅢ, and 9 cases of cervical cancer were analyzed. Results:The HPV infection rates were 18.4%in the normal cervical or inflam-mation group, 67.6%in the CINⅠgroup, 96.7%in the CINⅡor CINⅢgroup, and 100%in the cervical cancer group. The HPV in-fection rate was higher in the CIN I group than in the normal HPV infection or inflammation group (P<0.001) and was higher in the CIN Ⅱ or CIN Ⅲ groups than in the CIN I group (P<0.001). The main types of infection were HPV16 (44.2%), HPV58 (24.2%), HPV52 (11.6%), and HPV33 (8.4%) in the CIN groups. The main type of infection was HPV16 in the cervical cancer group (88.9%). Conclusion: Cases of cervical lesions are increasing. With this prevalence of HPV, considerable attention should be focused on HPV16-, 58-, 52-, and 33-related infections and cervical lesions. Among them, HPV16 infection is the primary cause of disease progres-sion and carcinogenesis.
