Background. Since the implementation of the cervical cancer screening program in Lithuania in 2004, cervical cancer incidence rates have stabilized during a 4-year period: in 2006 and 2007, 508 and 485 new cases, respectively, were diagnosed. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is one of the main risk factors for cervical cancer and development of intraepithelial lesions. However, not only HPV, but also HPV type, is a very important factor for malignant transformation. Cervical intraepithelial lesions with HPV 16 and 18 more frequently progress to cancer. To date, in Lithuania, studies only on HPV prevalence and risk factors have been carried out, and less attention has been paid to the identification of HPV types. The aim of this study was to identify the most common HPV types in women with various cytological lesions. Material and methods. A total of 246 women with various cytological lesions (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance [ASCUS], low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [LSIL], and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion [HSIL]) were included into the study. All the women were screened for HPV infections followed by HPV typing for types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, and 59. Polymerase chain reaction was used. Results. Less than half (45.5%) of women with cytological lesions were infected with HPV. The highest prevalence of HPV was detected in women with HSILs (62.1%) and CIN2 (86.7%). HPV typing revealed that the most frequent type was HPV 16 (64.3%); HPV 18 and HPV 33 accounted for 5.4% and 4.5% of cases, respectively. Based on cytologic diagnosis, HPV 16 was more frequently found in women with HSILs than women with ASCUS (77.8% vs. 50.0%). Conclusions. The prevalence of HPV infection in women with cytological lesions was 45.5%. The highest prevalence of HPV was detected in women with HSILs (cytologic investigation) and CIN2 (histologic investigation). HPV 16 is the most common type in women with various cervical intraepithelial lesions.

AbstractBackgroundHPV-16 infections constitute the highest risk for developing uterine cervix cancer. However, the role of other high-risk types is still controversial.ObjectiveTo analyze HR-HPV prevalence and its possible associations between HPV and risk factors related to cervical lesions among Mexican women.MethodsCross sectional study using 362 cervical samples collected between 2016 and 2017. Fourteen HR-HPV types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66 and 68) were detected by highly sensitive PCR amplification followed by reverse hybridization. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate the association between HPV types and risk factors among lesions.ResultsMost samples were HR-HPV positive (83.43%). HPV-16 was the most prevalent infection among negative for intraepithelial lesions or malignancy (78.6%), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (50%), and cervical cancer (58.2%). HPV-66 showed an unexpected high prevalence in atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (50%), low-grade squamous intraepithelial (45.7%), and only found in 3.6% of cervical cancers. HPV-16 was significantly prevalent among women between 30-39 years, whereas types 66 and 52 were significantly associated when previously sexually transmitted disease had occurred (p< 0.05).ConclusionsHPV-66 either in single or co-infection with other HR-HPV types (excluding 16 and 18) might be indicative of non-progressive cancer lesions. HPV-66 prevalence was unusually high in low-grade cervical lesions, predominantly in co-infection with HPV-51, and very low among cervical cancer. This should be addressed to interpret results obtained by methods that group type 66 with other HR-types.

Abstract Background: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is widely known as the major cause of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer and it’s characteristics vary greatly in different population. Women with abnormal cervical cytology could increase the risk of cervical cancer, however, HR-HPV infection characteristics in women with abnormal cervical cytology remains unclear. Methods: This study was based on baseline survey of the CIN Cohort established in Shanxi Province, China. A total number of 2300 women with cervical abnormalities were enrolled in this study. All participants gave informed consent and agreed to HPV and thinprepcytologic test (TCT). Each individual completed a questionnaire about characteristics related to HPV infection. Results: The overall prevalence of HR-HPV in 2300 women was 32.0%, and the proportion of single and multiple HR-HPV infections were 70.2% and 29.8% in HR-HPV infection women, respectively. The top five HR-HPV genotypes were ranked as HPV16, HPV58, HPV52, HPV53 and HPV51. The prevalence of HR-HPV in atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and above(HSIL+) were 30.8%, 36.5% and 54.9%, respectively, showing an increasing trend with the severity of cervical cytology ( χ 2 trend =13.952; p <0.001). The women aged 35~45 years, with lower education level, less frequency of bathing, multiple gravidity, multiple parity, history of gynecological diseases and premenopausal women were prone to HR-HPV infection. Conclusions: We defined the characteristics related to HR-HPV infection in abnormal cervical cytology women, and provided an insight for the development and deeply research of HPV vaccine.

Objective Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been identified as the principal etiologic agent for cervical cancer and its precursors. Different HPV types have been associated with different oncogenic potential. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between specific HPV type infection and expression pattern of the ras family oncogenes in different grades of HPV-associated human cervical neoplasia. Methods HPV typing was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 31 HPV-positive human cervical specimens from patients with squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) or squamous cervical carcinoma (SCC). The mRNA expression levels of H-, K- and N-ras oncogenes were examined using the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS software. Results Among patients with SCC, H-, K- and N-ras expression levels were higher in HPV 16/18-associated cases compared to HPV 16/18-unassociated samples (p=0.003, p=0.004 and p=0.0001, respectively). The expression levels for H-, K-and N-ras were significantly higher in SCC patients with multiple HPV infection compared with SCC patients with single HPV infection (p=0.009, p=0.01 and p=0.021, respectively). Among patients with SIL, no statistically significant relationship was found between ras expression and HPV status. Conclusion Our findings indicate the possible role of ras signaling interaction with “high-risk” HPV 16/18 and multiple HPV infection in cervical cancer development.

5530 Background: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women living in Africa. Only a small proportion of HPV-infected women develop cervical cancer and other cofactors may increase a woman’s risk of developing cervical cancer. Aflatoxin, a potent carcinogen and immunosuppressive agent, is produced by fungi that contaminate corn and other staple foods in sub-Saharan Africa. Women who ingest aflatoxin may be more likely to have persistent infections with oncogenic HPV type. Methods: Demographics, behavioral data, plasma, and cervical swabs were collected from HIV-uninfected women 18 and 45 years of age who presented for cervical cancer screening at Moi Referral and Teaching Hospital (Eldoret, Kenya) and had normal VIA examination. HPV testing was performed on cervical swabs using the Roche Linear Array Assay. Aflatoxin-albumin adduct (AFB1-lys) was detected and quantified in plasma. The association of plasma AFB1-lys detection and concentration and the detection of HPV was examined. Results: Sufficient plasma was available from 88 HIV-uninfected women and was transported to the U.S. for aflatoxin testing. Valid HPV testing results were available for 86 of these women (mean age 34.0 years); 49 women (57.0%) had detectable AFB1-lys and 37 (43.0%) had no detection. Substantial variation existed in plasma AFB1-lys concentrations among the 49 women (range 0.02 to 0.21 pg/µL). Detection of AFB1-lys was not associated with age, and other behavioral factors such as number of lifetime partners, marital status and age at first sex. AFB1-lys detection was associated with detection of A9 HPV types (HPV 16, 31, 33, 35, 52, and 58) as a group in cervical swabs (p = 0.029) as well as A9 types excluding HPV 16 (p = 0.020), but not with individual A9 types, A7 HPV types (such as HPV 18), or low-risk HPV types. A concentration dependent association of AFB1-lys was seen with detection of A9 HPV types as a group (p = 0.009), non-HPV 16 A9 types (p = 0.005), and HPV 52 (p = 0.042), but not with the A7 HPV types. Conclusions: AFB1-lys was detected in 57% of HIV-uninfected Kenyan women without cervical dysplasia. AFB1-lys-positive women were more likely than AFB1-lys-negative women to have oncogenic HPV A9 types detected. Higher plasma AFB1-lys concentrations were associated with increased likelihood of oncogenic HPV A9 type detection. Further studies are needed to determine if chronic exposure to aflatoxin interacts with HPV infection (and possibly HIV co-infection) to modulate the risk of cervical cancer in women in Kenya and other developing countries.

Background. Human Pappilloma Virus (HPV) is the necessary cause of cervical cancer. A number of risk factors are believed to influence the role of HPV in the development of cervical cancer. This is so because majority of HPV infections are cleared and only a few are able to result into cancer. Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) is considered a potential cofactor in the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), although different studies have produced contradicting information (Silins et al., 2005, Bellaminutti et al., 2014, and Bhatla et al., 2013). The objective of this cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence and association of HPV-Chlamydial coinfection with cervical intraepithelial lesions and other risk factors for cervical intraepithelial lesions at a hospital in south western Uganda (MRRH). Methods. The study included 93 participants, with an age range of 25 to 80 years, from whom cervical specimens were collected and enrolment forms were completed upon consent. Experienced midwives collected one cervical smear and two endocervical swabs from each participant. The swabs were used for HPV DNA and Chlamydia trachomatis antigen testing. Data was entered in Microsoft excel and analysed using STATA 12 software. With the help of spearman’s correlation at the 0.05 level of significance, bivariate and multivariate analysis were done by logistic regression, to determine associations of risk factors to cervical lesions. Results. The results showed the prevalence of HPV-Chlamydial coinfection to be 8.6% (8/93). Positive Pap smear results were found in 60.22% (56/93) participants, most of whom had low grade squamous intraepitherial lesion (LSIL) (54.84%). HPV-Chlamydial coinfection showed a significant correlation with a positive cytology result and only relatively significantly correlated with LSIL grade of cytological positivity. HPV was found to be the risk factors associated with cervical intraepithelial lesions at MRRH. Conclusion. HPV, Chlamydia, and HPV-Chlamydial coinfection are prevalent infections and there is a likelihood of association between HPV-Chlamydial coinfection and with cervical intraepithelial lesions. This study recommends general sexually transimitted infections (STIS) screening for every woman that turns up for cervical cancer screening and a larger study, probably a multicentre study.

1576 Background: The incidence of cervical cancer has remained stable in HIV+ women but the prevalence and multiplicity of high risk HPV (hrHPV) infection, a necessary cause of cervical cancer, appears different comparing HIV+ to HIV- women. Because this has not been well studied in Africa, we conducted this study to identify single and multiple hrHPV infection among HIV+ and HIV- women in Nigeria. Methods: We enrolled HIV+ and HIV- women presenting at our cervical cancer screening program in Abuja, Nigeria between April 2012 and August 2012. Using a nurse administered questionnaire, we collected information on demographic characteristics, risk factors of HPV infection and cervical exfoliated cells samples from all participants. We used Roche Linear Array HPV Genotyping Test to characterize the prevalent HPV according to manufacturer’s instruction and logistic regression models to estimate the association between HIV infection and the risk of high-risk HPV infection. Results: There were 278 participants, 40% (111) of whom were HIV negative, 54% (151) HIV positive and 6% (16) with HIV status unknown. Of these, 108 HIV+ women cases and 149 HIV- women controls were available for analysis. The mean ages (±SD) were 37.6 (±7.7) for HIV+ and 36.6 (±7.9) years for HIV- women (p-value = 0.34). Cases and controls had similar socio-demographic characteristics. Among HIV+ women, HPV35 (8.7%) and HPV56 (7.4%) were the most prevalent hrHPV, while HPV52 and HPV68 (2.8%, each) were the most prevalent among HIV- women. The age adjusted RR for prevalent hrHPV was 4.18 (95% CI 2.05 – 8.49, p-value <0.0001), comparing HIV+ to HIV- women. The multivariate RR for any HPV and multiple hrHPV was 3.75 (95% CI 2.08 – 6.73, p-value 0.01) and 6.6 (95% CI 1.49 – 29.64, p-value 0.01) respectively, comparing HIV+ to HIV- women, adjusted for age, and educational level. Conclusions: HIV infection was associated with increased risk of any HPV, hrHPV and multiple HPV infections. Oncogenic HPV types 35, 52, 56 and 68 may be more important risk factors for cervical pre-cancer and cancer among women in Africa. Polyvalent hrHPV vaccines meant for African populations should protect against HPV types other than 16 and 18.

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall and type-specific prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection among females living in riverside communities in the state of Pará, in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon. These communities are inhabited by low-income people, and are accessible only by small boats. Cervical cytology and risk factors for HPV infection were also assessed. Methods Cervical samples from 353 women of selected communities were collected both for Papanicolau (Pap) test and HPV detection. Conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and real-time PCR were used to assess the overall and type-specific prevalence of HPV-16 and HPV-18, the main oncogenic types worldwide. Epidemiological questionnaires were used for the assessment of the risk factors for HPV infection. Results The mean age of the participants was 37 years (standard deviation [SD] ± 13.7). Most were married or with a fixed sexual partner (79%), and had a low educational level (80%) and family monthly income (< U$ 250; 53%). Overall, HPV prevalence was 16.4% (n = 58), with 8 cases of HPV-16 (2.3%) and 5 of HPV-18 (1.4%). Almost 70% of the women surveyed had never undergone the Pap test. Abnormal cytology results were found in 27.5% (n = 97) of the samples, with higher rates of HPV infection according to the severity of the lesions (p = 0.026). Conclusions The infections by HPV-16 and HPV-18 were not predominant in our study, despite the high prevalence of overall HPV infection. Nevertheless, the oncogenic potential of these types and the low coverage of the Pap test among women from riverside communities demonstrate a potential risk for the development of cervical lesions and their progression to cervical cancer, since the access to these communities is difficult and, in most cases, these women do not have access to primary care and public health services.

Vaginal microbiome may have a role in HPV infection and cervical neoplasm. To explore potential vaginal microbiome biomarkers for high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), and to find the best scheme to facilitate the current cervical cancer screening strategy. This study enrolled 272 women, including 83 confirmed with HSIL, 86 with HPV infection but without cervical neoplasm, and 103 without HPV infection as controls. Vaginal microbiome composition was determined by sequencing of barcoded 16S rDNA gene fragments (V4) on Illumina HiSeq2500. The relative increasing abundance of Stenotrophomonas, Streptococcus, and Pseudomonas, and a concomitant paucity of Dialister, unidentified Prevotellaceae, Faecalibacterium, Bifidobacterium, and Bacteroides, were related with HSIL, which can be used to predict the development of HISL in high-risk HPV infected patients. The relative abundance of Stenotrophomonas being over 0.0090387%, or Faecalibacterium being under 0.01420015%, or Bifidobacterium being under 0.0116183% maybe a good predictor for HSIL for those infected with HPV 16 and/or 18. The relative abundance of Stenotrophomonas being over 0.01549105%, or Streptococcus being over 0.48409585%, or Bacteroides being under 0.0296912% maybe a good predictor for HSIL for those infected with the 12 other high-risk types of HPV with concurrent abnormal TCT results. This study revealed that potential vaginal microbiome biomarkers may relate to HSIL, and can facilitate the cervical cancer screening.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is widely accepted as a causative agent of cervical cancer. The distribution and prevalence of HPV types depend on geographic region and demographic factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the presence of various HPV types and the outcome of cytological examination. Cervical smears were obtained from 125 women from southern Poland: low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) - 44, high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) - 12, cervical carcinoma - 27 and 42 women without abnormality in cytology as a control group. DNA was extracted from the smears and broad-spectrum HPV DNA amplification and genotyping was performed with the SPF 10 primer set and reverse hybridisation line probe assay (INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping, Innogenetics). HPV DNA was detected in approximately 72% cases, more frequently in women with squamous intraepithelial lesions and cervical carcinoma than in the control group (P < 0.0005). The most frequent type found was HPV 16 (37%), followed by HPV 51 (28%) and HPV 52 (17%). A single HPV type was detected in 51% positive cases, more frequently in cervical cancer specimens. Multiple HPV infection was dominant in women with LSIL and normal cytology. Prevalence of HPV 16 increased with the severity of cervical smear abnormality. For women HPV 16 positive, the relative risk (odds ratio) of the occurrence of HSIL and cervical cancer versus LSIL was 14.4 (95% CI, 3.0-69.2; P=0.001) and 49.4 (95% CI, 6.5-372.8; P < 0.001), respectively. Genotyping of HPV will allow better classification of women with cervical abnormalities into different risk groups and could be useful in therapy.
