AIM: The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of alloferon in human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical neoplasia (grade I) based on the analysis of the cytokine profile in cervical mucus as well as markers of apoptosis in cervical epithelial cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study enrolled 98 women, including 55 women of reproductive age with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) associated with HPV infection and 43 conditionally healthy women without HPV infection. Factors of cytokine response and markers of apoptosis under normal and pathology conditions were assessed and compared. RESULTS: The imbalance of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, in favor of the latter, is an important factor that supports the persistence of HPV-associated grade I CIN. Reducing caspase-3 and caspase-9, increasing interleukin-18, and subsequent activation of interferon gamma against the background of alloferon use are favorable signs of substantial elimination of the HPV. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show considerable elimination of HPV in patients with grade I CIN when using immunological antivirus therapy.

Objective: to develop a healthcare organizational model of secondary prevention of cervical cancer. Material and methods. The work analyzes the quality of medical care given to women of reproductive age living in Grodno region in whom cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer were detected from 2010 to 2019. On the basis of the results of questioning of 200 women who had been treated in Oncology Ward No.3 of Grodno University Clinic, the most significant risk factors of the development of the pathology were identified. Statistical processing was performed by means of the program «Statistica» 10.0.Results. An effective model of secondary prevention of cervical cancer has been developed: from 2015 to 2019 compared to the previous quinquennium the detectability of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and non-invasive cervical cancer increased by more than 17 % and 25 %, and the average parameters of the newly diagnosed morbidity were 69.97 ± 2.42 and 19.91 ± 2.28 per 100,000 women of reproductive age (p < 0.05). This made it possible to take timely measures for carcinogenesis interruption.Conclusion. The implementation of the healthcare organizational model of secondary prevention of cervical cancer contributes to improvement of the quality of medical care, and, therefore, maintainance of perspective realization of the child-bearing function for women of reproductive age.

The problem of early diagnostics and prevention of cervical cancer is actual in Ukraine.The leading etiologic factor in the genesis of cervical neoplasia and a number of other organs is Human papillomavirus (HPV). The human papillomavirus is sexually transmitted and has high contagiosity. Cancer prevention consists in effective screening, early detection and treatment of pathological changes in the cervix. The aggressive treatment of diseases caused by (HPV) has been replaced by a tactic of a differentiated approach, taking into account to the age of the woman and her reproductive plans. The objective: was to study the efficacy and tolerability of the combined use of Proteflazid® systemically in drops form and locally in the form of suppositories for 3 months in patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) of lung and moderate severity (CIN 1 and CIN 2) associated with the human papillomavirus (HPV); determination on the basis of the results of the need for further destructive treatment. Materials and methods. For the period from July 2016 to September 2017, we examined and treated 86 women with morphologically confirmed intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix associated with HPV infection. Results. Based on the performed studies, it was found that 6 months after treatment with Proteplasid® systemically and locally for 3 months, regression of CIN was noted in 93% of patients. In all cases, a reduction in viral load of more than 2 Lg of HPV/105, which is a marker of the effectiveness of antiviral therapy, has been recorded. Six months after treatment in 84% of patients and 9 months in 88%, there was complete elimination of HPV or reduced viral load to clinically insignificant values – less than 3 Lg. Conclusion. The drug Proteflazid® suppositories and drops contributes to the elimination of human papillomavirus (HPV) and other viral-bacterial infections and reduces the risk of cervical neoplasia. Key words: cervical cancer, screening, cervical neoplasia, Human papillomavirus, viral-bacterial infections, Proteflazid®.

ABSTRACT To study the significance of persistent inflammatory cervical Papanicolaou smears, in sexually active women of reproductive age group attending the out patient department of department of obstetrics and gynecology, Sarojini Naidu Medical College and Hospitals, Agra were recruited. Patients with persistent inflammatory cervical smears were subjected to Schiller directed cervical biopsy for histopathological examination. Persistent inflammatory changes were seen in 37.6% cervical smears. Underlying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) on histopathologic examination was found in 13.6% persisters. Prevalence of CIN was higher in women over 30 years and significantly so in women with parity higher than 2. It was further observed that severity of underlying CIN lesions increased with increasing duration of marital life. Objective To study the significance of persistent inflammatory cervical smears in sexually active women of reproductive age. Study design A prospective tertiary teaching hospital based study on 3000 sexually active women aged between 18 to 45 years attending the OPD from October 2006 to December 2008. Material and methods Sexually active women aged between 18 to 45 years with inflammatory smears attending the OPD of the department of obstetrics and gynecology, SN Medical College and Hospital were recruited for the study. Repeat cervical smears were taken after 3 months of systemic antimicrobials plus local antiseptics. Patients with persistent inflammatory cervical smears were subjected to Schiller directed cervical biopsy for histopathological examination. Relationship of age, parity, duration of marital life, different contraceptive practices and other high-risk factors were studied vis-ì-vis histopathological findings of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Results Persistent inflammatory changes were noted in 37.6% cervical smears. Underlying cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) on histopathalogic examination was seen in 13.6% persisters. Prevalence of CIN was higher in women over 30 years, and over para 3 uninfluenced by the presence of cervical lesion. Severity of underlying CIN lesions increased with increasing duration of marital life. Conclusion Women with persistent inflammatory cervical smears, especially if she is above 30 years, sexually active for 10 years and is third para, should have further evaluation with cervical biopsy.

Patients and methods. The study involved 42 women of reproductive age with cervical intraepithelial the neoplasia of the cervix varying degrees applied to the doctor of cervical pathology Zhitomir regional oncologic dispensary. All women (n=42) were divided into groups. The first group included 15 patients (35.7%) with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with mild. The second group included 13 women (31%) with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia a moderate degree. The third group was represented by patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia with severe – 14 respondents (33.3 per cent). Results. Marker BCL-2 in patients of the first group was positive in 7 patients (46.7%), Smooth Muscule Actin was positive in 9 patients (60%) and Ki-67 was diagnosed in 8 of the surveyed women (53.3%). In the second group of BCL-2 was positive in 8 patients (61.5%), Clone 124, Smooth Muscule Actin, Clone 1A4 was positive in 9 patients (69.2%), and Ki-67 was diagnosed in 12 of the surveyed women (92.3%). Marker BCL-2 in patients of the third group was positive in 12 patients (85.7%), Smooth Muscule Actin was positive in 10 patients (71.4%) and Ki-67 was diagnosed in 13 of the surveyed women (92.9% ). Conclusion. Carcinogenesis is associated with molecular genetic damage to the cervix. Some of the products of this process can be used as prognostic and diagnostic markers of tumor progression. Determination of protein expression of apoptosis regulator BCL-2, Smooth Muscule Actin and the antigen Ki-67 in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia makes it possible to accurately verify the diagnosis and to predict the course of pathological changes in the flat epithelium of the cervix.

As a drug-mechanical combination technology, photodynamic (PDT) can achieve accurate and targeted therapy for malignant tumors and benign diseases through the production of reactive oxygen species, oxygen free radicals or singlet oxygen by photosensitizers at specific wavelengths. Compared with traditional surgery, it has the advantages of selective killing, repeatable treatment, preserving target organ function and so on. The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical value of photodynamic therapy in cervical precancerous lesions by taking the patients with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) persistent infection diagnosed by "three-step diagnosis and treatment procedure" as an example. Using HiPorfin as a photosensitizer, photodynamic therapy was performed 48 hours after intravenous drip. Set laser wavelength 630nm, light dose density 137.58J/cm2, transmission efficiency 1.42, output power 2w. 3cm columnar optical fiber was placed around the 2cm in the cervical canal to cover all the lesions, and the irradiation time was 900s (600s in the cervical canal and 300s outside the cervical canal). The patients were given oxygen inhalation for 6 hours after operation, and the patients were observed for itching and other discomfort, and paid attention to avoid light. Photodynamic therapy was performed again in the same way on the second day. After two months of treatment, pathological biopsy showed chronic cervicitis, indicating that the disease had been effectively controlled. Theoretically, although the patient is not the absolute indication of photodynamic therapy (that is, meeting CIN ? or CIN ?, having fertility requirements and not undergoing surgery), this therapy can remove not only the superficial lesions inside and outside the cervix, but also the potential lesions not found under colposcopy. It can also block the persistent infection of HPV by inhibiting the expression of HPV18, E6 and E7mRNA in Hela cells. In combination with Baofukang suppository, it can block HPV infection. Increase the negative conversion rate of cervical HPV and reduce the probability of recurrence after CIN1 cure. For young female patients with persistent HR-HPV infection and fertility requirements, photodynamic therapy is an effective choice for clinical treatment of CIN1.
