METHODS From May 2002 to April 2004 patients with vulva condyloma acuminatum were examined employing vulva biospy, colposcopy, highrisk 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

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between telomerase expression and the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer, the possible use of telomerase as a marker of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) progression or regression, and the natural history of CIN.Methods Telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay was used to measure telomerase activity in cervical scrapings and biopsy samples obtained from 105 cases affected with various cervical conditions, including chronic cervicitis (n =20), CIN (n =64, 16 cases of CIN Ⅰ , 20 cases of CIN Ⅱ , and 28 cases of CIN Ⅲ), and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (n =21).Results In exfoliated cell samples, telomerase activity was detected in 5 of 20 (25. 0%) cases of cervicitis, 10 of 16 (62. 5%) cases of CIN Ⅰ , 11 of 20 (55. 0%) cases of CIN Ⅱ , 23 of 28 (82.1%) cases of CIN Ⅲ, and 13 of 21 (61. 9%) cases of carcinoma. In cervical biopsy samples, telomerase activity was detected in 6 of 20 (30. 0%) cases of cervicitis, 8 of 16 (50. 0%) cases of CIN Ⅰ , 9 of 20 (45. 0%) cases of CIN Ⅱ , 27 of 28 (96. 4%) cases of CIN Ⅲ, and 20 of 21 (95. 2%) cases of carcinoma. Telomerase activation was significantly higher in CIN samples than in cervicitis samples. Telomerase activity was detected at similar frequency in samples from cervical scrapings and cervical biopsies.Conclusion These results seem to suggest that telomerase expression may be associated with carcinogenesis of the cervix. TRAP assay of cervical scraping samples could be used to monitor and predict the development of CIN in clinical practice.展开更多
