A total of 500 patients from our hospital with ASC-US or LSIL based on cytology testing were subjected to HPV DNA and HPV E6/E7 mRNA quantitative analysis.Results: The specificity of the HPV E6/E7 mRNA test for detecting ≥high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL+) was statistically higher than that of the HPV DNA test(61.3% vs. 40.0%, P< 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of HPV E6/E7 mRNA test and HPV DNA test(90.0% vs. 95.0%, P > 0.05). The positive rates of HPV in the participants tested by HPV E6/E7 mRNA and HPV DNA were, respectively, 42.8%(214/500) and 62.8%(314/500), with statistical significance(P < 0.05).Conclusions: The HPV E6/E7 mRNA test was slightly less sensitivity than that of the HPV DNA test for diagnosing HSIL+ in patients with ASC-US and LSIL, but the difference was not significant, although the specificity of the former was significantly higher. HPV E6/E7 mRNA detection can effectively reduce overdiagnosis and overtreatment of patients with ASC-US and LSIL and has important clinical value in triage of patients with ASC-US and LSIL.展开更多

We investigated females who had been pathologically diagnosed with SIL and cervical cancer, and included five disease courses(“diagnosis”, “initial treatment”,“chemoradiotherapy”, “follow-up” and “recurrence/progression/metastasis”) to estimate the total costs. The median and interquartile range(IQR) of total costs(including direct medical, direct non-medical, and indirect costs), reimbursement rate by medical insurance, and catastrophic health expenditures in every clinical stage were calculated.Results: A total of 3,471 patients in different clinical stages were analyzed, including low-grade SIL(LSIL)(n=549), high-grade SIL(HSIL)(n=803), cervical cancer stage ⅠA(n=226), ⅠB(n=610), ⅡA(n=487), ⅡB(n=282), Ⅲ(n=452) and Ⅳ(n=62). In urban areas, the estimated total costs of LSIL and HSIL were $1,637.7(IQR:$956.4-$2,669.2) and $2,467.1(IQR:$1,579.1-$3,762.3), while in rural areas the costs were $459.0(IQR:$167.7-$1,330.3) and $1,230.5(IQR:$560.6-$2,104.5), respectively. For patients with cervical cancer stage ⅠA,ⅠB, ⅡA, ⅡB, and Ⅲ-Ⅳ, the total costs were $15,034.9(IQR:$11,083.4-$21,632.4), $19,438.6(IQR:$14,060.0-$26,505.9), $22,968.8(IQR:$16,068.8-$34,615.9), $26,936.0(IQR:$18,176.6-$41,386.0) and $27,332.6(IQR:$17,538.7-$44,897.0), respectively. Medical insurance covered 43%-55% of direct medical costs for cervical cancer patients, while the coverage for SIL patients was 19%-43%. For most cervical cancer patients, the expense was catastrophic, and the extent of catastrophic health expenditure was about twice large for rural patients than that for urban patients in each stage.Conclusions: The economic burden of SIL and cervical cancer in China is substantial, with a significant proportion of the costs being avoidable for patients with LSIL. Even for those with medical insurance, catastrophic health expenditures are also a major concern for patients with cervical cancer, particularly for those living in rural areas.展开更多

The prevalence of gastric adenomas shows marked geographic variation. Recently, the rate of diagnosis of low-grade dysplasia(LGD) has increased due to increased use of upper endoscopy. Many investigators have reported that gastric highgrade dysplasia has high potential for malignancy and should be removed; however, the treatment for gastric LGD remains controversial. Although the risk of LGD progression to invasive carcinoma has been reported to be inconsistent, progression has been observed during follow-up. Additionally, the rate of upgraded diagnosis in biopsy-proven LGD is high. Therefore, endoscopic resection(ER) may be useful in the treatment and diagnosis of LGD, especially if lesions are found to have risk factors for upgraded histology after ER, such as large size, surface erythema or depressed morphology. Fatal complications in endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) are extremely low and its therapeutic and diagnostic outcomes are excellent. Therefore, ESD should be applied preferentially instead of endoscopic mucosal resection.展开更多

Although anal cancer is relatively uncommon, rates of this malignancy are steadily rising in the United States, and among certain high risk populations the incidence of anal cancer may exceed that of colon cancer. Risk factors for AIN and anal cancer consist of clinical factors and behaviors that are associated with the acquisition and persistence of human papilloma virus(HPV) infection. The strongest HPV-associated risk factors are HIV infection, receptive anal intercourse, and high risk sexual behavior. A history of HPVmediated genital cancer, which suggests infection with an oncogenic HPV strain, is another risk factor for AIN/anal cancer. Because progression of AIN to anal cancer is known to occur in some individuals over several years, screening for AIN and early anal cancer, as well as treatment of advanced AIN lesions, is reasonable in certain high-risk populations. Although randomized controlled trials evaluating screening and treatment outcomes are lacking, experts support routine screening for AIN in high risk populations. Screening is performed using anal cytological exams, similar to those performed in cervical cancer screening programs, along with direct tissue evaluation and biopsy via high resolution anoscopy. AIN can be treated using topical therapies such as imiquimod, 5-flurouracil, and trichloroacetic acid, as well as ablative therapies such as electrocautery and laser therapy. Reductions in AIN and anal cancer rates have been shown in studies where high-risk populations were vaccinated against the oncogenic strains of HPV. Currently, the CDC recommends both high-risk and average-risk populations be vaccinated against HPV infection using the quadrivalent or nonavalent vaccines. It is important for clinicians to be familiar with AIN and the role of HPV vaccination, particularly in high risk populations.展开更多

Yet, despite the relative paucity of cases, the incidence of anal cancer has seen a steady about 2% rise each year over the last decade. As such, all healthcare providers need to be cognizant of the evaluation and treatment of anal squamous cell carcinoma. While chemoradiation remains the mainstay of therapy for most patients with anal cancer, surgery may still be required in recurrent, recalcitrant and palliative disease. In this manuscript, we will explore the diagnosis and management of squamous cell carcinoma of the anus.展开更多

The correlation between the expression of the above two proteins and the pathological features of SCC and the expression of the two proteins in SCC were analyzed.Results: The positive expression rates of Klotho protein in chronic cervicitis group, LSIL group, HSIL group and SCC group were 95%, 92.86%, 65.38%, 27.90%, respectively. The positive rates of Beclin1 protein in chronic cervicitis group, LSIL group, HSIL group were 25.0%, 28.57%, 38.46% and 74.42%, respectively. The differences were statistically significant. The expression of Klotho and Beclin1 in SCC was correlated with the degree of tumor differentiation, but not with the age, figo stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor size, depth of invasion and vessel invasion, but not with the age of the patient, tumor figo stage, lymph node metastasis, tumor size, depth of invasion and vessel invasion. There was no correlation between the expression of klotho and beclin1 in SCC tissues.Conclusion: The abnormal expression of klotho and beclin1 may be related to the development, invasion and metastasis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The use of radiofrequency ablation(RFA)has been reported in the treatment of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(LGIN).However,its efficacy and prognostic risk factors have not been well analyzed.AIM To explore the efficacy and prognostic risk factors of RFA for gastric LGIN in a large,long-term follow-up clinical study.METHODS The clinical data of 271 consecutive cases from 198 patients who received RFA for treatment of gastric LGIN at the Chinese PLA General Hospital from October 2014 to October 2020 were reviewed in this retrospective study.Data on operative parameters,complications,and follow-up outcomes including curative rates were recorded and analyzed.RESULTS The curative rates of endoscopic RFA for gastric LGIN at 3 mo,6 mo,and 1-5 years after the operation were 93.3%,92.8%,91.5%,90.3%,88.5%,85.7%,and 83.3%,respectively.Multivariate analyses revealed that Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection and disease duration>1 year had a significant effect on the curative rate(P<0.001 and P=0.013,respectively).None of patients had bleeding,perforation,infection,or other serious complications after RFA,and the main discomfort was postoperative abdominal pain.CONCLUSION RFA was safe and effective for gastric LGIN during long-term follow-up.H.pylori infection and disease course>1 year may be the main risk factors for relapse of LGIN after RFA.
