Giant CA is a tumor that primarily affects the genital and perianal areas. Its feature is the high rate of local recurrence and transformation into squamous cell carcinoma. Making choice of wide surgical excision and using interferon as antiviral and immunoenhancement for CA after operation, we obtain satisfactory functional and cosmetic results.展开更多

METHODS From May 2002 to April 2004 patients with vulva condyloma acuminatum were examined employing vulva biospy, colposcopy, high-risk HPV-DNA test and cervical bioscopy. RESUTS In 418 cases of vulva condyloma acuminatum, verified by pathologic analysis, high-risk HPV(+) infections were detected in 68.7%(287/418) of the cases. Among those patients, 20.6% (59/287) had concurrent subclinical cervical intraepithelial neoplastic (CIN) lesions. Among the high-risk HPV(-) 31.3 % (131), patients 7.6% (10/131) had concurrent subclinical CIN lesions. Pathological examination results: cervicitis, 167 (40.0%); cervical HPV infection, 182 (43.5%); CIN-I, 51 (12.2%); CIN-II, 16(3.83%); CIN-III, 2 (0.5%); cervical cancer, none. Another patient had vulva condyloma acuminatum with valva intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) II^III. CONCLUSION It was concluded that simultaneous cervical HPV infection of many types was rather common in patients with vulva condyloma acuminatum. Vulva condyloma acuminatum is the chief clinical symptom which hints at a high possibility of infection with high-risk HPV. The patients are at high-risk for CIN and cervical cancer. We must pay more attention to the cervix in cases with vulva condyloma acuminatum.展开更多

Forty-two biopsies from patients with gennital CA and 30 control tissue samples were tested for telomerase activity, HPV presence and types. The telomerase activity was determined by modified telomerase repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay and HPV typing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with typing-specific primers. Results showed that HPV-DNA was negative and the expression rate of telomerase was 16.7 % in all normal skin samples. All CA samples were positive for HPV (6/11 type was found in 32 cases, 16/18 in 3 and mixed type in 7). Telomerase activity was detectable in all CA patients. The telomerase activity in CA of 16/18 type was apparently higher than in CA of 6/11 type. It was concluded that the hyperplasia in CA might be increased as a result of HPV infection, suggesting that the activation of telomerase by HPV, especially by 16/18 type may play a role in the etiology and carcinogenesis of genital CA.展开更多

Objective: To compare the recurrence rate after surgical excision with or without podophyllin cautery. Design, Setting, Participants: Sixty women were enrolled in a study that was conducted in Cairo from Jan-2017 to Mar-2018. Interventions: All women received the same preparations. After randomization;in the study group (N = 30), podophyllin cautery was added to surgical removal in the follow-up period. In the control group (N = 30), only surgical removal was used. Main Outcome Measure: The main outcome measure was the estimation of the recurrence of the lesion during the follow-up period. The secondary outcome measures were the incidence of adverse events. Results: Both groups were comparable (p-value > 0.05) with regard to the age and BMI. Recurrence was significantly lower (P = 0.001) in the study group than the control group. In the study group, five cases (17.2%) have recurrence whereas, in the control group, 18 (60.0%) had suffered recurrence. The ARR was 42.8% (CI 95%: 18% - 60.9%) with RR of 0.29 (CI 95%: 0.12% - 0.67%) and NNT2 (CI 95%: 6% - 2%). During the follow-up period, 19 cases (65.5%) of the study group experienced pain versus only eight cases (26.7%) in the control group (p = 0.003). However, the development of scars was less in the study group 7 (24.1%) than in the control group 19 (63.3%), (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Podophyllin cautery, when added to surgical removal, is effective in decreasing the incidence recurrence in cases with condylomata acuminata.展开更多

Our results showed that mean level of CD40 expression in CA patients was significantly lower than that in the controls （6.58 %±2.74 % vs 14.81 %±6.12 %, t=5. 703, P〈0.05）; the average level of CD40L in CA patients was also significantly lower than that in the controls （0.73 % ±0.54 % vs 2.67 %±2.43 %, t=3. 532, P〈0.05）. Our resutls suggest that the reduced costimulatory interaction of CD40 and CD40L in CA patients may be one of the important factors responsible for the low cellular immunity.展开更多

Methods: Sera were taken from 70 patients with Condylomaacuminatum and compared with 35 healthy controls. PDGFand G-CSF in serum were quantitated using a dual antibodysandwich enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA). Results: Serum concentrations of PDGF and G-CSF weresignificantly increased in patients with Condylomaacuminatum (CA) compared to controls (P<0.001 and P<0.005respectively). Serum levels of PDGF and G-CSF correlatedwith clinical severity of CA, but no significant difference wasobserved between different duration of disease groups. Asignificant positive correlation was noticed between neutrophilcount and G-CSF levels ( γ=0.38, P<0.001), and the neutrophilcount showed no significant correlation with PDGF. Conclusion: The results indicated that increased expressionof PDGF and G-CSF in peripheral blood might be involved inpathogenesis of CA.展开更多
