rapid preparation of tissue dna from paraffin-embedded blocks and analysis by polymerase chain reaction.we have developed a new, easy, and more rapid method for dna preparation, which avoids contamination. with this method, manual surgical blade scrapings from precisely targeted areas of paraffin block surfaces, without microtome cutting, were used to obtain tissues from 10 different neoplasms. our results indicate the feasibility of dna extraction from the scraped paraffin tissue for molecular genetic analysis. we applied this technique successfully to screen for the presence of human papillomavi ...19938385683
common warts from immunocompetent patients show the same distribution of human papillomavirus types as common warts from immunocompromised patients.we studied the papillomaviruses (hpv) found in 131 common warts from 111 immunocompetent patients by amplification of viral dna sequences with the general-primer-mediated polymerase chain reaction (pcr). the virus types were determined by restriction-enzyme cleavage and reverse-blot analysis. results were confirmed by using the southern blot technique. forty patients harboured hpv 2a, 25 individuals showed hpv 2c and 13 yielded hpv 57. common warts from 16 patients were induced by a variant of h ...19938385983
varied clinical morphology of hpv-1-induced warts, depending on anatomical factors.the clinical and histological features of 49 lesions induced by human papillomavirus type 1 (hpv-1) were studied. the majority of cases showed the typical clinical features and location of such lesions. they were usually located on the ventral or lateral surfaces of the hands or feet, and were dome-shaped lesions with a central depression. however, hpv-1-induced lesions located on other body areas displayed different clinical features, such as those of common warts, a digitate wart, and a cutane ...19938385984
expression of the different viral mrnas of human papilloma virus 6 in a squamous-cell carcinoma of the bladder and the cervix.the prevalence of hpv6 and hpv11 in benign condylomata or mild dysplasias has led to the view of hpv6/11 as rather harmless viruses in relation to carcinogenesis. however, the detection of hpv6/11 dna in a number of individual cases of squamous-cell carcinomas of the anogenital/urinary tract could also point to a possible contribution of these viruses in the development of certain malignancies. recently we have shown that the transcription of the e6 and e7 genes of hpv6 in benign anogenital cond ...19938386138
the discrimination of high-risk hpv types by in situ hybridization and the polymerase chain reaction.the parameter tmt has been defined by non-isotopic in situ hybridization and describes the tissue melting temperature (tmt) of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna sequences. in this study, multiple in situ hybridization signals for hpv types 16, 31 and 33 in individual archival biopsies hybridized with genomic probes are shown by polymerase chain reactions to be due to cross-hybridization of probe sequences to a single tissue target. tmt is independent of viral type but depends on the homology betwee ...19938386149
[correlation between chronic hyperplastic laryngitis and infection with human papillomaviruses].cancer of the larynx is one of the most prevalent tumors of the head and neck, with its prognosis dependent on early diagnosis. a number of authors have now reported a connection between head and neck cancers and infection with human papilloma virus (hpv). a large number of these tumors has been found to be hpv 16/18 positive, with results ranging from 10% to 75% positive. it is currently known that viral infection alone cannot realize an oncogenic potential and there have to be exogenous and/or ...19938386152

nuclear factor i and epithelial cell-specific transcription of human papillomavirus type 16.the transcription of human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) is mediated by the viral enhancer. epithelial cell-specific activation is achieved by the cooperative interaction of apparently ubiquitous transcriptional factors. one of them, nuclear factor i (nfi), binds seven sites within the hpv-16 enhancer. point mutations on enhancer fragments, which retain epithelial cell specificity, verify the functional contribution of nfi. in band shift experiments, the epithelial cell-derived nfi proteins ct ...19938392590
biology and colposcopic features of human papillomavirus-associated cervical disease.target biopsy and transformation zone ablation on excision is the mainstay of management for cervical lesions that can be adequately visualized. for the physician who does not progress beyond whimsical estimates of lesion prominence (which cannot differentiate minor- from major-grade lesions), the colposcope will never be more than a simple aid to the collection of directed biopsy specimens. unfortunately, in situations in which the clinician's only option is passive response to the histopatholo ...19938392673
colposcopy of vaginal and vulvar human papillomavirus and adjacent sites.human papillomaviral infections can affect the entire lower female genital tract as multifocal or multicentric disease as well as the surrounding anatomic and adjacent sites. the traditional colposcopic methods are necessary to assist in the diagnosis and help differentiate these infections from other disease mimics.19938392676
pathogenesis of genital hpv infection.clinical, subclinical, and latent human papillomavirus (hpv) infections are distinguished from hpv-associated neoplasia. besides hpv additional cofactors are necessary to transform hpv infected tissue to intraepithelial or invasive neoplasia. risk factors for the presence of hpv are high number of sexual partners, early cohabitarche, young age at first delivery, suppression and alteration of immune status, young age and hormonal influences. while the fact of a high number of sexual partners excl ...19938392965
high rate of concurrent genital infections with human cytomegalovirus and human papillomaviruses in cervical cancer patients.a case-control study evaluated a possible association between infection with human papillomavirus (hpv) or cytomegalovirus (cmv) and cervical cancer. seventy-eight patients with cervical cancer (cases) were compared with 55 age-compatible patients with uterine leiomyoma (controls). genital cmv and hpv infections were diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction amplification of viral dna in cervical tissues. smoking, first coitus or pregnancy before age 20, multiple sex partners, history of multiple p ...19938393059
human papilloma virus: implications for medical directors. 19938393222
mutations of p53 and human papillomavirus infection in cervical carcinoma.oncogenic human papillomavirus (hpv) infection has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cervical carcinoma. the hpv oncoproteins e6 and e7 are though to play a crucial role in this process by their interactions with the p53 protein and the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene product, respectively. the e6 protein binds to and stimulates the degradation of the p53 protein. mutations involving evolutionary conserved regions of the p53 gene also can alter p53 function. point mutations of p53 freque ...19938393371
interactions of human papillomavirus transforming proteins with the products of tumor suppressor genes.human papillomaviruses (hpvs) contribute to the development of almost all cervical cancers, a common and often fatal human disease. the mechanisms by which the hpvs function in malignant progression appear to be related to the activity of the two viral oncoproteins, e6 and e7, which form complexes with several cell proteins normally involved in controlling cell growth. of particular interest has been the association of e6 with p53 and e7 with rb, both products of tumor suppressor genes. expressi ...19938393818
viral gene detection in oral neoplasms using the polymerase chain reaction.eighty-four squamous cell proliferative lesions of the oral cavity and six examples of normal oral squamous mucosa were investigated for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) by the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) using universal primers and type specific probes. human papillomavirus was identified in 1 of 6 histologically normal biopsy specimens, 2 of 4 hyperplasias, 2 of 5 inflammatory lesions, 9 of 36 cases of dysplasia or carcinoma in situ, and 7 of 39 carcinomas. all of the specimens f ...19938394047
multiple human papillomavirus type 16 glucocorticoid response elements functional for transformation, transient expression, and dna-protein interactions.we have previously shown that human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv-16) can efficiently transform primary baby rat kidney cells in the presence of the steroid hormones progesterone and the glucocorticoid dexamethasone. to study this effect of hormone, different combinations of the previously identified glucocorticoid response element (gre) at nucleotide 7640 of hpv-16 and the other two gres that we have recently identified, at nucleotides 7385 and 7474, were mutated. the previously described gre and ...19938394465

sexually transmitted diseases in adult, non-pregnant women.most of the publications reviewed focus on human papillomavirus (hpv), and a small proportion on herpes simplex virus (hsv), chlamydia trachomatis, as well as the syndromes of pelvic inflammatory disease and bacterial vaginosis. the present hypothesis associates cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin)-1 with high oncogenic risk hpv types in less than 30% of cases; whereby cin-2 and cin-3 are associated with a 90% risk. however, on the basis of hpv types, four categories ['low risk' (hpv 6/11, 4 ...19938400052
screening for human papillomavirus infections in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas by in situ hybridization.infections with specific types of human papillomavirus (hpv) have been closely linked with human squamous cell carcinomas, those of the anogenital tract in particular. increasing number of reports also suggest that hpv infection could be a risk factor for esophageal cancer. however, most of the previous studies on hpv involvement in esophageal carcinomas have included only small numbers of biopsy specimens, thus necessitating additional studies based on extensive series of esophageal samples.19938402471
[the treatment of cervical human papillomavirus (hpv) infection with trichloroacetic acid].ever since the alterations caused by the hpv on the cervix were discovered, countless treatments have been employed but the ideal method still remains unknown. the objective of the experiment was to assess the efficiency of handling the cervical infection caused by the hpv, by means of trichloroacetic acid, 85% rate. during the period comprised between april 1989 and march 1990, 60 patients were subject to close analysis. the general diagnosis drawn cytology, colposcopy, and histopathology was c ...19938406118
study of the partners of women with human papillomavirus infection.genital human papillomavirus (hpv) infection is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, and it has been identified as a significant risk factor for the development of dysplasia and cancer of the uterine cervix. the possible influence of male hpv lesions on female cervix oncogenesis has not been elucidated so far. in the present study we evaluate the male partners of women with clinical or subclinical hpv infection with particular interest in the clinical features of this infection ...19938407094
human papillomavirus and cutaneous warts in meat handlers.the association of papillomavirus and hand warts in meat handlers was examined. human papillomavirus (hpv) dna was found in 23 (88%) of 26 cutaneous warts, with hpv 7 (27%) and a yet unidentified hpv (hpv x) (42%) being the predominant types. hpv 2 was found in two (7.5%) patients, and hpv 4 was found in three (11.5%) patients. no bovine papillomavirus sequences were detected. in most patients, the warts developed in less than 2 years after they started working with meat. a possible hpv transmis ...19938408588

evolution of human papillomavirus type 18: an ancient phylogenetic root in africa and intratype diversity reflect coevolution with human ethnic groups.papillomaviruses are an ideal model system for the study of dna virus evolution. on several levels, phylogenetic trees of papillomaviruses reflect the relationship of their hosts. papillomaviruses isolated from remotely related vertebrates form major branches. one branch of human papillomaviruses (hpvs) includes an ape and two monkey papillomaviruses, possibly because the diversification of the viruses predated the separation of the infected-primate taxa. this hypothesis predicts that the root o ...19938411344
mhc class i expression in hpv 16 positive cervical carcinomas is post-transcriptionally controlled and independent from c-myc overexpression.squamous cell carcinomas of the uterine cervix (n = 23) were selected for the presence of human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv 16) using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). localization of transcripts coding for the e7 protein was demonstrated in neoplastic cells with rna in situ hybridization. consecutive tissue sections were investigated for expression of the major histocompatibility complex class i (mhc-i) and c-myc using immunohistochemical double staining procedures, since a role has been sug ...19938414499
low prevalence of human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 in cervical adenocarcinoma in situ, invasive adenocarcinoma, and glandular dysplasia by polymerase chain reaction.using the polymerase chain reaction on paraffin blocks for human papillomavirus (hpv) types 16 and 18, a positive result was seen in three of 20 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma, 15 of 36 cases of adenocarcinoma in-situ, and one of five cases of glandular dysplasia of the uterine cervix. types 16 and 18 were found with equal frequency. in adenocarcinoma in situ there was no age difference between hpv-positive and or hpv-negative cases. concomitant squamous dysplasia was slightly more frequent in ...19938415587
transmission of human genital papillomavirus disease: comparison of data from adults and children.a substantial body of evidence has demonstrated that the primary means of transmission of genital warts in sexually active adults is through sexual contact. however, the epidemiology and social significance of anal-genital warts in prepubertal children is controversial. debate continues regarding the frequency with which these lesions have resulted from sexual abuse or transmission by other means. an accurate understanding of the dominant means of transmission of anal-genital warts in children i ...19938416503
an epidemiologic perspective on biomarkers.the authors discuss biological markers from an epidemiologic perspective, emphasizing the importance of integrating biomarkers into large-scale observational and intervention studies. whereas any biologic phenomenon can be considered a biomarker, an intermediate end-point is defined as being on the causal pathway between exposure and disease. an intermediate end-point is a valid surrogate for a disease in relation to a given exposure if, and only if, that exposure causes a similar change in the ...19938429292
bowenoid changes in kaposi's sarcoma.previous reports have documented the coexistence of multiple infectious organisms or kaposi's sarcoma within the same biopsy specimens of mucocutaneous lesions in human immunodeficiency virus- (hiv) infected patients.19938454785
electron microscopy visualization of oligonucleotide binding to duplex dna via triplex formation.using biotinylated oligonucleotides and streptavidin as a marker, we have visualized, with the help of electron microscopy, the triplex formation. we used the natural homopurine-homopyrimidine sequence from human papillomavirus 16 cloned within a plasmid. under conditions favouring the formation of pyrimidine-purine-pyrimidine triplex the corresponding pyrimidine oligonucleotide formed a complex with the insert and this complex was detected by electron microscopy. similarly, under conditions fav ...19938464052
verrucous carcinoma of the genital tract: is it a distinct entity?between 1974 and 1985, 16 patients (7 men, 9 women) with a diagnosis of genital verrucous carcinoma were identified from the cancer registry of the tom baker cancer centre in calgary. all the men had lesions on the penis. in the women, five lesions were on the vulva, four were on the cervix and two were on the vagina (two women each had two involved sites). the histologic slides from the surgically excised specimens were reviewed, and, by applying strict criteria, all cases could be reclassified ...19938472225
is hiv infection associated with an increase in the prevalence of cervical neoplasia?to test the hypotheses: (1) that hiv infection predisposes to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin); (2) that this cin is a result of hiv related immunosuppression; and (3) that this cin is a result of immunosuppression causing increased expression of the potentially oncogenic viruses, human papilloma virus (hpv), epstein barr virus (ebv) and herpes simplex virus (hsv).19938476807
determinants of the geographic variation of invasive cervical cancer in costa rica.the incidence of cervical cancer in costa rica is about twice as high in the coastal regions as in the interior. to study these regional variations, we used data from a 1986-1987 case-control study of 192 costa rican women with invasive cervical cancer and 372 controls. risk factors identified included the following: the study participant's (1) number of sexual partners, (2) age at first sexual intercourse, (3) number of live births, (4) presence of type 16/18 human papillomavirus (hpv) dna, (5) ...19938490673
biological activities of p53 mutants in burkitt's lymphoma cells.wild-type human p53 and a series of p53 point mutants isolated from burkitt's lymphoma (bl) cell lines were tested for their ability to inhibit dna synthesis in a p53-negative bl cell line and to bind and be degraded by the human papillomavirus type 16 e6 protein. all the mutants lost the wild-type ability to inhibit dna synthesis, demonstrating that they are all functionally altered. binding to e6 and consequent degradation of the p53 mutants frequently correlated with changed suppressor proper ...19938492087
kaposiform hemangioendothelioma of infancy and childhood. an aggressive neoplasm associated with kasabach-merritt syndrome and lymphangiomatosis.we report the clinical and pathological features of nine distinctive, but relatively unknown, vascular tumors of infancy and childhood presenting as soft tissue masses often associated with locally aggressive disease, lymphangiomatosis and kasabach-merritt syndrome. the patients, four males and five females, were all in their first decade of life except for two (median, 2 years; range, 5 months to 19 years). these tumors involved deep soft tissues of the upper extremity (four cases), retroperito ...19938494101
the aetiology and risk factors for warts among poultry processing workers.we conducted an investigation at a poultry processing plant in new zealand to estimate the prevalence of warts among workers and the risk of developing warts associated with specific work areas or individual work practices. we obtained information on demographic characteristics and self-reported medical and occupational histories from 88 (83%) of 106 permanent employees at the plant; almost half (39 people or 44%) had developed wart-like lesions on their arms or hands after they began working at ...19938505187
the other epidemics. sexually transmitted diseases.around 70% of female infertility in developing countries is caused by sexually transmitted diseases (stds) that can be traced back to husbands or partners. stds and reproductive tract infections cause 750,000 deaths and 75 million illnesses among women each year worldwide, and these deaths may more than double by the year 2000. death rates are rising fastest in africa, followed by asia and latin america. about 450,000 cases of potentially fatal reproductive tract cancers are diagnosed annuall ...199312159277
a population-based seroepidemiological study of cervical cancer.the epidemiology of cervical cancer indicates the presence of a sexually transmitted risk factor, attributable at least in part to infection with human papillomavirus (hpv) type 16 or 18. we performed a seroepidemiological study of hpv and cervical cancer in the counties of västerbotten and norrbotten in northern sweden, a low-risk area for cervical cancer. sera from 94 cases of incident cervical cancer were matched against 188 age- and sex-matched controls derived from a population-based blood ...19948261434
prevalence of anal human papillomavirus infection and intraepithelial neoplasia in renal allograft recipients.a study was performed to test the hypothesis that renal allograft recipients are at high risk of developing anal human papillomavirus (hpv) infection and anal intraepithelial neoplasia (ain). a total of 133 renal allograft recipients and 145 control patients underwent anoscopy and biopsy. a polymerase chain reaction was used to detect hpv16 dna in biopsy samples. a histological diagnosis of anal hpv infection or ain was made in 32 allograft recipients (hpv infection, five; ain i, 20; ain ii, thr ...19948173899
interferon and retinoic acid suppress the growth of human papillomavirus type 16 immortalized cervical epithelial cells, but only interferon suppresses the level of the human papillomavirus transforming oncogenes.in the present study, we examine the effects of all-trans-retinoic acid (ra) and interferons-alpha and -gamma (ifn-alpha and ifn-gamma) on the growth of hpv16-immortalized cell lines, ece16-1 and caski. treating proliferating ece16-1 cells with ra causes a concentration-dependent decrease in cell number. at 1 microm ra, cell growth is suppressed by 65% and the level of mrna encoding cytokeratin k5, a biochemical marker of retinoid action, is also suppressed. in contrast, the level of transcript ...19948174114
analysis of hpv-positive and -negative vulvar carcinomas for alterations in c-myc, ha-, ki-, and n-ras genes.mutation or overexpression of certain host genes, including c-myc, ha-ras, and ki-ras, have been associated with genital squamous neoplasia, specifically in the cervix, and have been implicated in the natural history of these tumors. the relationship of these host gene alterations to vulvar squamous cell carcinomas has not been previously studied. we analyzed archival material from 13 human papillomavirus-positive and -negative vulvar squamous cell carcinomas for mutations in ha-, ki-, and n-ras ...19948175026
fast solid support detection of human papillomavirus in in vitro amplified dna using a dnp-anti dnp monoclonal antibody couple.in some anogenital lesions the detection of certain types of human papilloma virus, especially oncogenic types, is of interest. in a first step during a prospective study, we compared two methods for the detection of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna in clinical samples: southern blotting followed by hybridization with a cloned radioactive genomic probe and a classical polymerase chain reaction (pcr) followed by hybridization with a 32p-labelled oligonucleotide probe. 118 biopsies and swabs were ex ...19948175945
stomach cancer in transgenic mice expressing human papillomavirus type 16 early region genes from a keratin promoter.certain human papillomaviruses (hpvs) have been implicated as important contributory factors in the development of cervical carcinoma and other epithelial malignancies. in order to investigate the role of papillomavirus early gene expression in epithelial oncogenesis in vivo, we produced transgenic mice expressing hpv-16 early region genes from the promoter of the bovine keratin 6 gene. spliced transcripts were detected in the tongue, forestomach, glandular stomach, female reproductive tract and ...19948176373
development of a broad spectrum pcr assay for papillomaviruses and its application in screening lung cancer biopsies.a pcr assay was developed to detect known and as yet unidentified papillomaviruses (pvs). for this purpose we analysed the conserved amino acid sequences in the l1 and e1 open reading frames of 45 human and nine animal pvs. candidate regions for the design of a primer were identified as those having the least number of amino acid and nucleotide sequence variants among the different pvs. these regions in the l1 orf have been described previously. we modified the sequences of the backward and the ...19948176375
assembly of the major and the minor capsid protein of human papillomavirus type 33 into virus-like particles and tubular structures in insect cells.native virions of human papillomaviruses (hpv) can be isolated from genital lesions only in very limited amounts. recent studies have shown that virus-like particles can be obtained by expression of the capsid proteins using vaccinia virus recombinants or the baculovirus system. we now present the first detailed characterization of virus-like particles of a human papillomavirus associated with malignant genital lesions, hpv-33, produced in high yield using the baculovirus expression system. asse ...19948178438
cervical neoplasia in the patient with hiv infection.with heterosexual transmission of hiv becoming the primary mode of transmission to women in the usa, and a high rate of human papillomavirus (hpv) and cervical neoplasia in hiv-infected women, obstetrician-gynecologists have become primary care providers for hiv-infected women. reports of a high rate of recurrence and progression of cervical neoplasia in this population suggest that gynecologists must strive to identify those women with cervical neoplasia who are hiv infected. alterations in loc ...19948180357
association between hla-dqb1 alleles and risk for cervical cancer in african-american women.squamous-cell carcinoma of the cervix and its precursor lesions are associated with human papillomavirus (hpv) infection. epidemiological studies indicate that hpv infection in itself is not sufficient for cervical-cancer induction, suggesting that other factors contribute to carcinogenesis. we have investigated the potential role of host genetic background as one such factor. we screened a series of squamous-cell carcinomas of the cervix for hla-class-ii dqb1* alleles by the polymerase chain re ...19948181853
cationic liposomes mediated delivery of antisense oligonucleotides targeted to hpv 16 e7 mrna in caski cells.the "high risk" types 16 and 18 of human papillomavirus (hpv) are involved in the etiology of genital squamous cell carcinoma. the early genes 6 and 7 (e6-e7) of these viruses code for the major transforming proteins, capable of inducing cell transformation alone or acting synergistically with other oncogenes. antisense oligonucleotides, recently applied to inhibit the functions of a number of cellular and viral proteins, might provide the basis for a new therapeutic strategy against hpv-induced ...19948147581
sequence variation in the capsid protein genes of human papillomavirus type 16.we have cloned and sequenced the l1 and l2 genes from human papillomavirus type 16 (hpv16) dna-containing cervical cytology samples collected from the u.k. and trinidad. samples containing high copy numbers of hpv16 dna were selected as being likely to contain fully functional virus dna molecules in an episomal state, rather than in an integrated and possibly altered state. in comparison with the previously published sequence of hpv16 isolated from an invasive cancer a variety of differences wer ...19948151305
[analysis of p53 gene in gynecologic tumors].the inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene p53 has been demonstrated in a variety of human tumors. herein, we performed a p53 gene analysis of human gynecologic tumor cell lines and tumor tissues. in the sk-ov-3 cell line, southern analysis suggested the presence of sequence deletions/rearrangements in at least one allele of p53 gene. transcripts were not detectable by either northern or pcr analysis. sequencing analysis of the entire coding region revealed mutations changing the p53 amino ac ...19948152158

human cytotoxic t lymphocytes stimulated by endogenously processed human papillomavirus type 11 e7 recognize a peptide containing a hla-a2 (a*0201) motif.cytotoxic t lymphocytes (ctl) may play an important role in the control of human papillomavirus (hpv)-induced anogenital neoplasias, but have been difficult to study owing to the difficulty in obtaining sufficient quantities of infectious virus. to address this we have stimulated human hpv-specific ctl in vitro using low-density cells (ldc) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc). low-density cells were used to present synthetic peptides, or endogenously processed peptides expressed from ...19948157270
detection of human papillomaviruses in paraffin-embedded biopsies of cervical intraepithelial lesions: analysis by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and the polymerase chain reaction.one hundred and forty biopsies with an initial diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial lesion (cil) were tested for the presence of human papillomavirus (hpv) by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization using commercial biotinylated probes (vira-type in situ assay; digene diagnostics, silver spring, md) or probes labeled with digoxigenin by the random primer technique. immunohistochemistry was more inferior to the in situ hybridization method, with a detection rate of 14% (20/140) compared t ...19948159640
absence of human papilloma virus dna in oropharyngeal spindle-cell squamous carcinomas.the presence of human papilloma virus (hpv) dna in verrucous carcinomas and some squamous-cell carcinomas (scc) of the oropharynx suggests a role for the virus in their pathogenesis. spindle-cell squamous carcinoma is an uncommon variant of oropharyngeal scc. its association with the hpv has not been reported. in situ and dot blot hybridization, using biotinylated probes to hpv 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, and 35, failed to detect hpv dna in nine studied cases of spindle-cell squamous carcinoma, as di ...19948160645
the prevalence of cervical infection with human papillomaviruses and cervical dysplasia in alaska native women.alaska native women historically have high rates of sexually transmitted diseases (stds) and invasive cervical cancer. their prevalence of cervical infections with human papillomavirus (hpv) in relation to cervical dysplasia was determined with a commercial dot hybridization test for seven hpv genotypes. type-specific hpv dna, similarly distributed between genotype groups 16/18 and 31/33/35, was detected in 234 cervical specimens (21%) from 1126 alaska native women seeking routine care and colpo ...19948133094
a virus-like particle enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detects serum antibodies in a majority of women infected with human papillomavirus type 16.previous studies have demonstrated that genital infection with high-risk types of human papillomavirus (hpv), most often hpv16, is the most significant risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. however, serologic assays that have been developed to identify high-risk hpv infection have either failed to associate serum reactivity with other indicators of hpv infection or have identified only a minority of hpv-infected individuals.19948133532
transitional cell carcinoma of fossa navicularis in a man with three other synchronous malignancies.transitional cell carcinoma arising from the anterior portion of the male urethra is rare, with less than 10 cases reported in the literature. our patient had a high-grade, highly invasive transitional cell carcinoma originating in the fossa navicularis and extending proximally along the corpus spongiosum, the corpora cavernosa, and blood and lymphatic vessels. in addition, the patient had a concurrent low-grade prostatic adenocarcinoma, a large basal cell carcinoma of the nose, and a squamous c ...19948116126
