[Mechanism of resveratrol in protecting ovary in poor ovarian response mice by regulating Hippo signaling pathway].

This study observed the protective effect of resveratrol(Res) on ovarian function in poor ovarian response(POR) mice by regulating the Hippo signaling pathway and explored the potential mechanism of Res in inhibiting ovarian cell apoptosis. Female mice with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, and low-and high-dose Res groups(20 and 40 mg·kg~(-1)), with 20 mice in each group. The blank group received an equal volume of 0.9% saline solution by gavage, while the model group and Res groups received suspension of glycosides of Triptergium wilfordii(GTW) a

Accuracy of human papillomavirus testing on self-collected versus clinician-collected samples: a meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is more effective in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer than screening using Pap smears. Moreover, HPV testing can be done on a vaginal sample self-taken by a woman, which offers an opportunity to improve screening coverage. However, the clinical accuracy of HPV testing on self-samples is not well-known. We assessed whether HPV testing on self-collected samples is equivalent to HPV testing on samples collected by clinicians. METHODS: We identified relevant studies through a search of PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL. Studies wer

What does Medicaid expansion mean for cancer screening and prevention? Results from a randomized trial on the impacts of acquiring Medicaid coverage.

BACKGROUND: The Oregon Medicaid lottery provided a unique opportunity to assess the causal impacts of health insurance on cancer screening rates within the framework of a randomized controlled trial. Prior studies regarding the impacts of health insurance have almost always been limited to observational evidence, which cannot be used to make causal inferences. METHODS: The authors prospectively followed a representative panel of 16,204 individuals from the Oregon Medicaid lottery reservation list, collecting data before and after the Medicaid lottery drawings. The study panel was divided into

mRNA biomarker detection in liquid-based cytology: a new approach in the prevention of cervical cancer.

Several high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced cell biomarkers have been proposed as possible candidates to identify patients harboring high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSILs) of the uterine cervix. We aimed to determine the feasibility of the detection of the mRNA of six biomarkers in cervical smear specimens obtained by liquid-based cytology and to evaluate whether this approach might be useful in the identification of patients with HSIL. One-hundred and twenty three women referred to colposcopy in the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona were included in the study. After a thoroug

Self-reported history of Pap-smear in HIV-positive women in Northern Italy: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: The incidence of invasive cervical cancer in HIV-positive women is higher than in the general population. There is evidence that HIV-positive women do not participate sufficiently in cervical cancer screening in Italy, where cervical cancer is more than 10-fold higher in women with AIDS than in the general population. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the history of Pap-smear in HIV-positive women in Italy in recent years. We also examined the sociodemographic, clinical, and organizational factors associated with adherence to cervical cancer screening. METHODS: A cross-

гинекологическое здоровье: недостающее звено во всеобъемлющем мониторинге лечения множественных склерозов.

Мониторинг безопасности методов лечения болезней (ДМТ), используемых для лечения множественных склерозов (МС), в значительной степени не учитывает область гинекологического здоровья. Цель этого тематического обзора состоит в том, чтобы предоставить врачам по НР обзор трех категорий осложнений, описанных на сегодняшний день, а также стратегий уменьшения рисков. К ним относятся повышенный риск позитивности вируса папилломы человека (ВПВ) и связанных с ним шейных дисплазий/канцеров; подстрекательский и инфекционный вагинит и подверженность бактериальному вагинозу (ВВ); и герпесвирусные инфекции,

Vaginal complications of graft-versus-host disease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a cross-sectional study.

BACKGROUND: Stem cell transplantation is a clinical approach used to treat certain types of cancers, such as hematologic malignancies. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurs in 30-70% of cases and often diminishes the quality of life of transplant patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vaginal complications of GVHD following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS: This study employed an analytical cross-sectional design. All patients referred to Shariati Hospital in Tehran between 2019 and 2020 who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were considered

[Mechanism of Liangfang Wenjing Decoction in treatment of hypoxia on endometriosis with cold coagulation and blood stasis by regulating CHCHD4 expression].

To explore the mechanism of Liangfang Wenjing Decoction regulating coiled-coil-helix coiled-coil-helix domain containing 4(CHCHD4) in the treatment of hypoxia on endometriosis(EMs) with cold coagulation and blood stasis. The rat model of cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome was prepared by the ice-water bath method, and then the EMs model was established by autologous intimal transplantation. The rats were randomly divided into model group, low, medium, and high(4.7, 9.4, and 18.8 g·kg~(-1)) dose groups of Liangfang Wenjing Decoction, Shaofu Zhuyu Decoction group, and sham group, with 10

Monitoring the control of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and related diseases in Australia: towards a national HPV surveillance strategy.

This paper describes a possible multifaceted approach to human papillomavirus (HPV) related surveillance in Australia following implementation of a national HPV vaccination program. We describe eight main components: monitoring of vaccine coverage, vaccine safety, type-specific HPV infection surveillance, cervical cytology (Pap screening) coverage and screen detected lesion prevalence, cervical cancer incidence and mortality, genital wart incidence, incidence of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, and knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about HPV and HPV vaccination. Australia is well placed to

Cancer screening in women by internal medicine resident physicians.

BACKGROUND: Research suggests that women may not have consistent cancer surveillance. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of internal medicine resident physicians' screening methods for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer of women aged 50 or older. RESULTS: Resident physicians did breast examinations in 39.1%, mammography in 37.3%, Pap smears in 32.7%, rectal examinations in 37.3%, fecal occult blood testing in 39.1%, and flexible sigmoidoscopy in 11.8% of the women. They instructed 3.6% to do breast self-examination. There was no statistically significant difference in the brea

Immunocytochemical detection of raf kinase inhibitor protein and human papillomavirus profiling of normal and abnormal cervical ThinPrep samples.

OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the potential value of Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) as a marker of normal squamous cells in ThinPrep slides. RKIP was evaluated for its ability to distinguish between normal and abnormal cervical samples in the context of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. STUDY DESIGN: A total of 316 ThinPrep samples were taken from women with normal and abnormal cervices. ThinPrep slides were Papanicolaou stained and reported. Residual samples were used for RKIP immunostaining and HPV PCR-based sequencing. RESULTS: RKIP expression was seen in both nuclei and c

Evaluation of metabolic uptake in gynecological organs using FDG-PET in women diagnosed with nongynecological malignancies.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Gynecological malignancies, including those affecting the uterus, cervix, vagina, vulva, and adnexa, pose significant physical and psychosocial burdens. Early detection and effective management of these malignancies are critical for improving outcomes. This study aims to evaluate metabolic uptake patterns in gynecological organs using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and to analyze their malignancy potential in women with nongynecological cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 221 women with nongynecological malignanc

Young women, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and human papillomavirus: risk factors for persistence and recurrence.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in young women. They can occur in one or multiple areas of the female genitalia. Usually, the vulva is the initial site of implantation for HPV. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the epidemiological aspects, incidence of single or multiple lesions in the lower genital tract, correlation between sexual behaviour and their localization and behaviour risk factors for persistence and recurrence of HPV lesions and cervical intraepithelial lesion (CIN) in a long-term follow-up among young wome

Genome-wide methylome analysis using MethylCap-seq uncovers 4 hypermethylated markers with high sensitivity for both adeno- and squamous-cell cervical carcinoma.

BACKGROUND: Cytology-based screening methods for cervical adenocarcinoma (ADC) and to a lesser extent squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) suffer from low sensitivity. DNA hypermethylation analysis in cervical scrapings may improve detection of SCC, but few methylation markers have been described for ADC. We aimed to identify novel methylation markers for the early detection of both ADC and SCC. RESULTS: Genome-wide methylation profiling for 20 normal cervices, 6 ADC and 6 SCC using MethylCap-seq yielded 53 candidate regions hypermethylated in both ADC and SCC. Verification and independent validatio
