conclusions it seems that smoking cannot increase the prevalence of high risk hpv 16, 18 in saliva samples. results there were no high-risk types of virus in patients and no significant differences between the groups (p = 1). patients and methods a hundred healthy adult subjects were selected from zahedan dental school for this pilot study. dna was isolated from saliva samples and screened for ...

Background: Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases that affects men like women and infected cutaneous and mucosal squamous epithelium. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of HPV in the semen of oligospermic, azoospermic and normal patients. Methods: From June 2012 to June 2013, a total of 90 individuals were enro...

OBJECTIVE To assess self-reported human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing practices by health care providers and clinics, including nonrecommended practices such as low-risk HPV testing, HPV cotesting in women younger than age 30 years, and HPV reflex testing for high-grade abnormal Pap test results. METHODS We analyzed responses to a cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative sampl...

日本における子宮頸がん検診の問題点の一つは検診受診率の低さである。その問題点の解決策の一つとして、都合の良い時に都合の良い場所で行える自己採取HPV検査による検査の導入を考えた。本研究の目的は、自己採取HPV検査が住民に受け入れられることを確認することである。結果は、検診未受診者でも自己採取HPV検査なら10％程度は検査を受ける意思があることが確認できた。さらに、未受診者には高危険群HPVの陽性者が13.6％と高率に含まれていた。その希望者の中で、1％程度の前がん病変が発見された。今回の検討は、自己採取HPV検査の導入が子宮頸がん検診受診率の改善に寄与することが示唆された。

Results and conclusions (i) Prevalence and history of cervical cancer: It is the 8 most common cancer in women in France. In 2000, the incidence was 3400 women, with 1000 deaths a year. A relationship has been established between HPV infection and cervical cancer. High-risk HPVs have been identified (types 16 and 18 classified as carcinogens). (ii) Risk factors: HPV is a sexually transmissible ...

The incidence of cervical cancer is expected to rise sharply in China. A reliable routine human papillomavirus (HPV) detection and genotyping test to be supplemented by the limited Papanicolaou cytology facilities is urgently needed to help identify the patients with cervical precancer for preventive interventions. To this end, we evaluated a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol for ...

BACKGROUND Epidemiologic studies have classified 18 genotypes of the human papillomavirus (HPV) as (probably) high-risk (HR) based on their association with cervical cancer, i.e., HPV 16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82. Given the fact that certain HR HPV types confer an increased risk of cervical (pre)cancer, type-specific identification might aid clinica...
