Recently, there has been a steady growth of cervical cancer all over the world, especially in Russia. Patients with cervical cancer have become much younger. At the same time, the human papillomavirus is not only the main factor in the neoplastic process, but it is also one of the most common sexually transmitted infections in the world. The aim of the paper is to assess the prevalence and characteristics of human papillomavirus genotypes in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Materials and Methods. During the periodic screening we examined 213 women of a reproductive age with HPV infection. All patients underwent liquid-based cytology and human papillomavirus genotyping by polymerase chain reaction. Results. We revealed that the prevalence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia among women with papillomavirus infection was 80.3 % (n=171). According to human papillomavirus genotyping, HPV 16 (38 %) and HPV 33 (32 %) prevailed. We also observed positive high correlation between high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and HPV 18 (r=+0.759, p=0.001), a negative mean correlation between HPV 45 and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) (r=-0.643, p=0.002). A cohort of patients with severe intraepithelial cervical lesions demonstrated high viral load rates. Conclusion. According to the results obtained, we established the dominance of HPV 16 and HPV 33 genotypes in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. There were significant differences between HSIL and LSIL patients with HPV 18 and HPV 45. There was also a correlation between an increase in the viral load with the severity of the pathological process. Keywords: human papillomavirus, intraepithelial cervical neoplasms, cervical cancer. В последние годы в мире, особенно в России, наблюдается неуклонный рост и «омолаживание» рака шейки матки. При этом вирус папилломы человека является не только основным фактором прогрессирования неопластического процесса, но и одной из наиболее распространенных инфекций, предаваемых половым путем, в мире. Цель. Оценить распространенность и характеристику генотипов папилломавирусной инфекции у пациенток с цервикальными интраэпителиальными неоплазиями. Материалы и методы. Проведено обследование 213 пациенток репродуктивного возраста с ВПЧ-инфекцией, пришедших на профилактический осмотр. Всем женщинам было выполнено цитологическое исследование жидкостным методом и генотипирование вируса папилломы человека методом полимеразной цепной реакции. Результаты. Распространенность цервикальных интраэпителиальных неоплазий среди женщин с папилломавирусной инфекцией составила 80,3 % (171 пациентка). Согласно данным генотипирования вируса папилломы человека превалировал 16-й (38 %) и 33-й типы (32 %). Выявлена положительная высокая корреляционная связь между цервикальными неоплазиями высокой степени онкогенного риска (HSIL) и 18-м типом ВПЧ-инфекции (r=+0,759 при р=0,001), отрицательная средняя корреляционная связь 45-го типа ВПЧ с низкой степенью онкогенного риска (LSIL) (r=-0,643 при р=0,002). Продемонстрированы высокие показатели вирусной нагрузки в когорте пациенток с тяжелыми внутриэпителиальными цервикальными поражениями. Выводы. По результатам полученных данных установлено доминирование 16-го и 33-го генотипов ВПЧ при цервикальных интраэпителиальных неоплазиях с наличием значимых различий между пациентами с HSIL и LSIL в отношении 18-го и 45-го типов, а также связь роста уровня вирусной нагрузки с увеличением степени тяжести патологического процесса. Ключевые слова: вирус папилломы человека, интраэпителиальные новообразования шейки матки, рак шейки матки.

ABSTRACTMexico lacks a scientific culture. Investigations and reports show that only has a record of 38 thousand scientific and 0.5% global of registered patents in the world. Communications and electronics engineering (ICE) is one of the three formations in the school of mechanical engineering and electrical (ESIME) unit Zacatenco from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) Mexico. Among the objectives of this mentioned formation on its web site, is the form professionals with scientific and technological foundations; However, the curriculum includes only two subjects with these characteristics. Less than 1% of the graduates also choose to devote himself to scientific work. This paper shows the results obtained by means of a survey on the perception that students have about scientists in order to propose actions that foster a greater interest in them by the science and technology into their professional formation.RESUMENMéxico carece de una cultura científica ya que algunas encuestas muestran que solo se tiene un registro de 38 mil científicos y el 0.5% del total mundial de patentes registradas.

Cervical cancer (CC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in women aged 20–39 years. Persistent infection with oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV) represents the most important risk factor for the development of cervical cancer. Three HPVs vaccines are currently on the global market: bivalent, quadrivalent, and nonavalent. The nonavalent vaccine provides protection against almost 90% of HPV-related CC. Despite availability of primary and secondary prevention measures, CC persists as one of the most common cancers among women around the world. Although CC is a largely preventable disease, management of persistent or recurrent CC no longer amenable to control with surgery or radiation therapy has not improved significantly with the progress of modern chemotherapy and disseminated carcinoma of the cervix remains a discouraging clinical entity with a 1-year survival rate between 10% and 15%. Over the last few years, there has been increasing interest in immunotherapy as a strategy to fight tumors. This article focuses on recent discoveries about the HPV vaccine and immunotherapies in the prevention and treatment of CC, highlighting the future view.
