the effect of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphisms on susceptibility to human papilloma virus infection and cervical cancer.cervical cancer is the third most common cancer among women worldwide. several factors lead to cervical cancer, among which human papilloma virus (hpv) infection has a prominent role. methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr) is crucial in folate metabolic pathway and plays an important role in dna synthesis and dna methylation. mthfr gene polymorphisms, including c677t and a1298c, lead to reduced enzyme activity. this case-control study aims to illustrate the association between mthfr gene po ...201627771518
a direct detection of human papillomavirus 16 genomic dna using gold nanoprobes.nanoparticles have been investigated as flagging tests for the sensitive dna recognition that can be utilized as a part of field applications to defeat restrictions. gold nanoparticles (aunps) have been widely utilized due to its optical property and capacity to get functionalized with a mixed bag of biomolecules. this study exhibits the utilization of aunps functionalized with single-stranded oligonucleotide (aunp-oligo test) for fast the identification of human papillomavirus (hpv). this test ...201727771413
manufacturing costs of hpv vaccines for developing countries.nearly all of the 500,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 270,000 deaths occur in middle or lower income countries. yet the two most prevalent hpv vaccines are unaffordable to most. even prices to gavi, the vaccine alliance, are unaffordable to graduating countries, once they lose gavi subsidies. merck and glaxosmithkline (gsk) claim their prices to gavi equal their manufacturing costs; but these costs remain undisclosed. we undertook this investigation to estimate those costs.201627771183
felis catus papillomavirus type 2 e6 oncogene enhances mitogen-activated protein kinases and akt activation but not egfr expression in an in vitro feline model of viral pathogenesis.a possible causative role of felis catus papillomavirus type 2 (fcapv2) in the development of feline oral and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (scc) has been recently suggested by demonstrating viral gene expression in vivo and transforming properties by its putative oncogenes e6 and e7 in vitro. the activated molecules mek (pmek), erk (perk) and akt (pakt) are signaling transduction effectors regulating cell proliferation and inhibition of apoptosis, which are critical steps towards tumour fo ...201627771077
the rb binding domain of hpv31 e7 is required to maintain high levels of dna repair factors in infected cells.human papillomaviruses (hpv) exhibit constitutive activation of atm and atr dna damage response (ddr) pathways, which are required for productive viral replication. expression of hpv31 e7 alone is sufficient to activate the ddr through an unknown mechanism. here, we demonstrate that the e7 rb binding domain is required to increase levels of many ddr proteins, including atm, chk2, chk1, the mrn components mre11, rad50, and nbs1, as well as the homologous recombination repair proteins brca1 and ra ...201727770701

systematic comparison of different meta-analyses, systematic reviews and hta reports on cervical cancer screening based on cytology or hpv test.introduction: cervical cancer screening programs all over the world are being radically revised; preventive screening is increasingly based on detecting infection with human papillomavirus (hpv). this change was driven by large international studies (comparing cytological and hpv-based screening), which were then summarized in systematic reviews or hta reports. we carried out a systematic comparison of these meta-analyses, comparing their contents, quality, results and recommendations. material ...201627761029
distinctive distribution of hpv genotypes in cervical cancers in multi-ethnic suriname: implications for prevention and vaccination.suriname is ranked as high-risk country for cervical cancer, but recent national data of hpv prevalence and distribution in cervical cancer is scarce. in a retrospective cross-sectional study, cervical cancer incidence, hpv prevalence and hpv-type-specific distribution were investigated in all cervical cancer cases (n = 111), diagnosed in two consecutive years. hpv presence and type-specific prevalence were determined in paraffin-embedded biopsies utilizing master-nested multiplex pcr assays, ta ...201727760573
laryngopharyngeal reflux and herpes simplex virus type 2 are possible risk factors for adult-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (prospective case-control study).the human papillomavirus (hpv) causes recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (rrp). although hpv prevalence is high, the incidence of papillomatosis is low. thus, factors other than hpv infection probably contribute to rrp. this study investigated whether patients with papillomatosis are more often infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 and chlamydia trachomatis (cht) and whether laryngopharyngeal reflux (lpr) occurs in this group of patients more often.201627759910
genome-wide profiling of the human papillomavirus dna integration in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and normal cervical epithelium by hpv capture technology.hpv integration plays an important role in cervical carcinogenesis. hpv genotypes and the exact integration sites were investigated using hpv capture technology combined with next generation sequencing in 166 women. three, one and six integration sites were verified in 7 hpv-positive 'normal cervical epithelium', 6 hpv-positive cin2 and 15 hpv-positive cin 3 samples, respectively. of the 10 integrations, one and nine were involved with hpv33 and hpv16, respectively. our study accurately evaluate ...201627759101

impact of variations in triage cytology interpretation on human papillomavirus-based cervical screening and implications for screening algorithms.women positive to human papillomavirus (hpv+) testing at cervical screening need triage, typically cytology and immediate colposcopy in case of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ascus) or worse (ascus+) or, in cytology-normal hpv+ women, hpv test repeat after 1 year and colposcopy referral if still hpv+. our hypothesis was that substantial variations in triage positivity and sensitivity may produce little variation in overall referral to colposcopy and on sensitivity of the e ...201627755998
treatment de-intensification strategies for head and neck cancer.increasingly, squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx (opscc) is attributable to transformation resulting from high-risk human papillomavirus (hpv) infection. such cancers are significantly more responsive to treatment than traditional tobacco- and alcohol-associated squamous cell cancers of the head and neck. conventional management with definitive chemoradiation, surgery and adjuvant radiation, or radiation given with altered fractionation schemes, while effective, incurs long-term morbidity ...201627755996

human papilloma viruses and breast cancer - assessment of causality.high risk human papilloma viruses (hpvs) may have a causal role in some breast cancers. case-control studies, conducted in many different countries, consistently indicate that hpvs are more frequently present in breast cancers as compared to benign breast and normal breast controls (odds ratio 4.02). the assessment of causality of hpvs in breast cancer is difficult because (i) the hpv viral load is extremely low, (ii) hpv infections are common but hpv associated breast cancers are uncommon, and ...201627747193
summary of emerging targets in anal cancer: the case for an immunotherapy based-approach.squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (scca) remains a less common gastrointestinal malignancy despite a continued increase in the annual incidence in the united states and globally. the vast majority of all cases are attributed to persistent infection and integration into host cell dna by human papillomavirus (hpv). for patients with metastatic anal cancer, there is currently no accepted consensus standard of care. given the viral etiology associated with the oncogenesis of this tumor, grea ...201627747086
beneficial effects of human papillomavirus vaccine for prevention of cervical abnormalities in miyagi, japan.prevention of cervical cancer has been unsuccessful in japan because of low rates of cancer screening and vaccination. the vaccine adverse review committee of the japanese government investigated 2,475 adverse events and reported 617 (6.9/100,000) severe cases and 176 (2.0/100,000) cases with chronic pain. the proactive recommendation for human papillomavirus (hpv) vaccination has been suspended since june 2013. in this study, we examined vaccination rate and incidence of abnormal cervical cytol ...201627746423
