Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is reported in 60-100% of cervical adenocarcinoma (CADC) globally. We investigated this relationship in a hospital-based survey in China. 718 CADC samples from nine Chinese regions were analysed. Expert pathologists reviewed cases with p16 and progesterone receptor immunostaining. Cases were tested for HPV using whole-tissue sections (WTS) and laser-capture microdissection. All cases were HPV-tested by L1 based broad-spectrum SPF 10 -DEIA-LiPA 25 PCR. Negative cases were tested for DNA adequacy and with E6 oncogene, type-specific HPV PCRs. Using WTS-PCR CADC showed overall 75% HPV-positivity (33-100% for different histological types). LCM-PCR showed that none of minimal deviation or serous CADC, and <10% of all clear cell and endometrioid CADC were HPV-positive in tumour cells. Usual and adenosquamous CADC showed a single HPV genotype in 60 and 78% cases. In some cases, HPV was found in adjacent cervix but not in tumour. HPV 16, 18 and 45 accounted for 90% of HPV in tumour cells. Patients with HPV-positive tumours were on average 6 years younger and presented at a lower clinicopathological stage as compared to patients with HPV-negative cancers. CADC is diverse pathologically and in HPV status. Special histopathological tumor subtypes may develop through different cellular and molecular pathways. Between 20 and 40% usual and adenosquamous types, in particular these diagnosed in older women and at advanced FIGO stages, are not driven by oncogenic HPV. In these cases HPV may not be involved in carcinogenisis or maybe lost during tumour progression.Many studies have addressed the role of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in cervical cancer, leading to the view that HPV is a necessary cause of invasive cervical carcinoma (ICC).
Hypertension is the main risk factor for cerebral stroke and death resulting from cerebral stroke. Current association studies on hypertension and intestinal microbiota focus on patients with hypertension (HTN); however, no investigations involving patients with isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) or systolic hypertension (SH) have been conducted to date. In this study, fecal samples from 62 cases with normal blood pressure (BP) and 67 cases with high BP were used for 16S amplicon sequencing. Sixty-one cases of HTN and 61 corresponding cases with normal BP were obtained by propensity score matching (PSM), and differential analysis was conducted using the DEseq2 package. PSM was also used to match six IDH patients with six controls and to match 35 cases of SH with 35 controls. There were 54 differential genera between the HTN and normal BP groups, and there were five differential genera between the IDH and normal BP groups. There were 38 differential genera between the SH and normal BP groups, including Christensenella . Bayesian network analysis showed that variations in BP influenced microbial abundance. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that bacterial abundance is correlated with BP . Significant differences between the intestinal microbiota of high and normal BP groups were observed. Gut microbiota dysbiosis differed among HTN, IDH, and SH patients. In particular, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were related to different intestinal microbiota.
The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between cervical microbiota and different human papillomavirus (HPV) infection statuses in cytologically normal women. The cervical microbiota of HPVpositive or -negative women with a normal cytologic diagnosis was characterized and compared using 16S rDNA-based high-throughput sequencing, and the differences in cervical microbiota associated with new acquisition, persistence, and clearances of HPV genotypes were analyzed via one-year follow-up. The results showed that the cervical microbial richness of HPVpositive women was lower than for HPV-negative women, and the difference was more significant in the postmenopausal group relative to the premenopausal group. Ureaplasma parvum and related taxa were associated with baseline HPV positivity, while Brochothrix, Diplorickettsia, Ezakiella, Faecalibacterium, and Fusobacterium genera and their related taxa and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were associated with baseline HPV negativity. For HPV-positive women, the baseline abundance of Actinomyces was negatively associated with new HPV infection, Alloprevotella tannerae, Prevotella nigrescens, and Prevotella oulorum; and Dialister invisus were positively associated with new HPV-type infection within the year of follow-up. Lactobacillus delbrueckii was found to be negatively associated with persistent HPV infection and 9 taxa belonging to Prevotella, Dialister, and Lachnospiraceae were found to be positively associated with persistence, and/or negatively associated with clearance of HPV types. We also observed 10 novel taxa associated with the clearance/persistence of HPV that had not been reported elsewhere. Those taxa associated with different infection statuses of HPV could be used as a biomarker to help predict the risk of developing persistent HPV infection.
Background: Infection with high-risk human papillomavirus is an important factor associated with cervical cancer, and the distribution of HPV types varies greatly worldwide. Determination of typespecific HPV prevalence constitutes an important step towards the development of vaccines for the prevention of cervical cancer.
