Abstract
BACKGROUND This Escherichia coli-produced bivalent HPV 16 and 18 vaccine was well tolerated and effective against HPV 16 and 18 associated high-grade genital lesions and persistent infection in interim analysis of this phase 3 trial. We now report data on long-term efficacy and safety after 66 months of follow-up. METHODS This phase 3, double-blind, randomised, controlled trial was done in five study sites in China. Eligible participants were women aged 18-45 years, with intact cervix and 1-4 lifetime sexual partners. Women who were pregnant or breastfeeding, had chronic disease or immunodeficiency, or had HPV vaccination history were excluded. Women were stratified by age (18-26 and 27-45 years) and randomly (1:1) allocated by software (block randomisation with 12 codes to a block) to receive three doses of the E coli-produced HPV 16 and 18 vaccine or hepatitis E vaccine (control) and followed-up for 66 months. The primary outcomes were high-grade genital lesions and persistent infection (longer than 6 months) associated with HPV 16 or 18 in the per-protocol susceptible population. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01735006. FINDINGS Between Nov 22, 2012, and April 1, 2013, 8827 women were assessed for eligibility. 1455 women were excluded, and 7372 women were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive the HPV vaccine (n=3689) or control (n=3683). Vaccine efficacy was 100·0% (95% CI 67·2-100·0) against high-grade genital lesions (0 [0%] of 3310 participants in the vaccine group and 13 [0·4%] of 3302 participants in the control group) and 97·3% (89·9-99·7) against persistent infection (2 [0·1%] of 3262 participants in the vaccine group and 73 [2·2%] of 3271 participants in the control group) in the per-protocol population. Serious adverse events occurred at a similar rate between vaccine (267 [7·2%] of 3691 participants) and control groups (290 [7·9%] of 3681); none were considered related to vaccination. INTERPRETATION The E coli-produced HPV 16 and 18 vaccine was well tolerated and highly efficacious against HPV 16 and 18 associated high-grade genital lesions and persistent infection and would supplement the global HPV vaccine availability and accessibility for cervical cancer prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We compared clinical performance of three strategies of primary human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, primary cytology and co-testing for cervical cancer screening. DESIGN A population-based prospective cohort study of clinical performance of screening strategy. SETTING Patients recruited from community in Changzhi County, Shanxi Province, China. PATIENT 3209 women aged 30-64 years without gynaecological issues. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES The performance of different screening strategies for detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or more severe (CIN2+). RESULTS A total of 53 CIN2+ and 31 CIN3+ cases are detected. For CIN2+, sensitivity of primary HPV (95.9%) and co-testing (98.0%) are not statistically different, but significantly higher than primary cytology (48.0%). Specificity (86.8%), colposcopy referral rate (7.8%) and number of colposcopies required to detect one case (9.8) for primary HPV are better than co-testing (79.8%, 11.9%, 14.3%, respectively). For CIN3+, primary HPV, co-testing have 100% of sensitivity and specificity, which is significantly higher than primary cytology (56.7% and 90.2%). Number of colposcopies required to detect one case for primary HPV (15.9) is better than co-testing (23.8). CONCLUSIONS Compared with co-testing, HPV primary screening had comparable sensitivity and higher specificity for CIN2+ detection, and both of them showed better performance than cytology primary screening in cervical cancer screening.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the occurrence of live-born twins with birth weight-discordance and its relationship to adverse birth outcomes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 4 011 pairs of live-born twins in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2011 to December 2020. Based on the birth-weight discordance (∆BW, ∆BW=(birth-weightbig-birth-weightsmall)/birth-weightbig×100%)), twins were divided into 4 groups, including ∆BW≤15%,>15%-20%,>20%-25%, and>25%. The differences in maternal and neonatal outcomes among 4 groups were explored. Then the correlation between ∆BW and neonatal adverse outcomes were explored. Results: The ΔBW was 9 (4, 16)% and males were accounted for 53.8% (4 315 cases) of 4 011 pairs of twins. The gestational age was (35.3±2.7) weeks at birth. There were 2 908 pairs (72.5%) of twins with ΔBW≤15%, 481 pairs (12.0%) with ΔBW>15%-20%, 281 pairs (7.0%) with ΔBW 20%-≤25%, and 341 twin pairs (8.5%) with ΔBW>25%. With ∆BW of 20% as the diagnostic cutoff, the incidence of birth weight discordance was 15.5% (622/4 011). The proportion of natural births in the ∆BW≤15% group was higher than that in the ∆BW>15%-20% group (10.5% (288/2 740) vs. 6.3% (29/463), P<0.008 3). The ∆BW>25% group had a significantly higher prevalence of maternal hypertensive disorders during pregnancy than that of the other 3 groups (25.5% (87/341) vs. 16.7% (47/281) vs.17.3% (83/480) vs. 13.8% (400/2 899), all P<0.008 3). Univariate analysis found that the ΔBW>25% group had a lower gestational age and a higher rate of preterm birth than the other groups. The rate of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) or very low birth weight (VLBW), small for gestational age (SGA), and transferring to the department of neonatology in the smaller twins were significantly different among the 4 groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that higher degree of birth weight discordance was all positively associated with the rate of ELBW, SGA, and transferring to the department of neonatology in smaller twin, even after adjusting maternal age and gestational hypertension, year of birth, mode of delivery, gender, and gestational age (all P<0.05). Moreover, the Mantel-Haenszel test also indicated that there were significantly low to moderate correlations between ΔBW and the unfavorable outcomes (r=0.22, 0.53, 0.21, all P<0.001, respectively). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve found that adverse birth outcomes would be well predicted by birth weight-discordant when the diagnostic cut-off of ΔBW was 12%-17%, with an acceptable sensitivity (0.53-0.78) and a high specificity (0.72-0.79). Conclusions: Birth weight discordant is not uncommon in live-born twins, and is associated with adverse outcomes including ELBW, SGA, and transferring to the department of neonatology in the small twins. Besides, the risk is linearly related to the increase of ΔBW. In the future, more researches are needed to explore the underline mechanism and long-term impact of birth weight discordance, to guide the prevention and management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical cytology screening is usually laborious with a heavy workload and poor diagnostic consistency. The authors have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) microscope that can provide onsite diagnostic assistance for cervical cytology screening in real time. METHODS A total of 2167 cervical cytology slides were selected from a cohort of 10,601 cases from Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital, and the training data set consisted of 42,073 abnormal cervical epithelial cells. The recognition results of an AI technique were presented in a microscope eyepiece by an augmented reality technique. Potentially abnormal cells were highlighted with binary classification results in a 10× field of view (FOV) and with multiclassification results according to the Bethesda system in 20× and 40× FOVs. In addition, 486 slides were selected for the reader study to evaluate the performance of the AI microscope. RESULTS In the reader study, which compared manual reading with AI assistance, the sensitivities for the detection of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions were significantly improved from 0.837 to 0.923 (P < .001) and from 0.830 to 0.917 (P < .01), respectively; the κ score for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) was improved from 0.581 to 0.637; the averaged pairwise κ of consistency for multiclassification was improved from 0.649 to 0.706; the averaged pairwise κ of consistency for binary classification was improved from 0.720 to 0.798; and the averaged pairwise κ of ASCUS was improved from 0.557 to 0.639. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study show that an AI microscope can provide real-time assistance for cervical cytology screening and improve the efficiency and accuracy of cervical cytology diagnosis.

Abstract
Thermal ablation is a point-of-care ablative treatment technique for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). However, limited information is available about its efficacy in low- and middle-income countries. We evaluated the efficacy of thermal ablation in treatment of CIN detected through high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) screening in China. Women positive on high-risk HPV and having colposcopically suspected lesions eligible for ablation underwent colposcopy, biopsy and thermal ablation in one visit. Women ineligible were recalled for large loop excision of transformation zone (LLETZ) when histopathology results were high-grade CIN. Posttreatment follow-up at 6 months or more was with HPV test and cytology followed by colposcopy and biopsy for HPV and/or cytology-positive women. Cure was defined as either negative cytology and HPV test or absence of histopathology proved CIN in any positive women. Of total 218 HPV-positive women treated with thermal ablation (n = 170) or LLETZ (n = 48), 196 reported for follow-up evaluation. For women with histologically confirmed CIN at baseline (thermal ablation-104; LLETZ-38), cure rates were 84.6% for thermal ablation and 86.8% for LLETZ. Cure rates after thermal ablation were 90.3% for CIN grade one (CIN1) and 76.2% for CIN grade two or worse (CIN2+). HPV clearance rate was 80.4% in women undergoing thermal ablation, which was lower for HPV16/18 compared to other oncogenic types (67.6% vs 85.7%). HPV test had a negative predictive value (NPV) of 98.7% to detect CIN2+ at follow-up and the positive predictive value (PPV) was 40.4%. Thermal ablation is effective to treat CIN as well as to clear the high-risk HPV infection. HPV test has high PPV and NPV in following up patients posttreatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND How vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis, Candida spp, and Trichomonas vaginalis affect persistence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is not well established. Our study aimed to evaluate the association between common vaginal infections and cervical non-HPV16/18 infection, as risk factors associated with persistence of nonvaccine HPV types will become increasingly relevant in the setting of HPV vaccination. METHODS We performed an analysis in 2039 AS04-HPV16/18-vaccinated women enrolled in a phase II/III trial in China, who were HPV DNA negative at month 0 and 6 and had at least 1 subsequent follow-up visit. Vaginal infections were detected in liquid-based cytology according to the diagnostic criteria of the Bethesda System. Associations between vaginal infections and incident and 6-month persistent non-HPV16/18 infections in the cervix were evaluated using generalized estimating equations, adjusting for the age at initial vaccination, as well as HPV types in the persistence analysis. RESULTS Study visits with any vaginal infection had a statistically significant increased risk of incident non-HPV16/18 infection compared to those without vaginal infections (odds ratio [OR], 1.44 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.09-1.92]). However, vaginal infections were not associated with 6-month persistent non-HPV16/18 infection (OR, 1.02 [95% CI, .62-1.69]). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that common vaginal infections are not associated with persistence of non-HPV16/18 infection among HPV16/18-vaccinated women.

Abstract
Women are anticipated to go through more than two rounds of cervical screening in their lifetime. Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is increasingly used as the primary cervical cancer screening test. However, triage strategies for HPV-positive women were usually evaluated at baseline screening. We assessed the effect of sequential rounds of cervical screening on several algorithms for HPV triage. A total of 1,997 women ages 35-45 years were enrolled in 1999 in Shanxi, P.R. China and followed up three times at approximately 5-year intervals. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) prevalence by prior HPV results and performance of 12 triage algorithms with cytology, genotyping, and prior HPV were examined among 229 HPV-positive women at the fourth round. CIN2+ prevalence varied from 56.5% (95% confidence interval, 36.8%-74.4%) following 15 years HPV persistence to 3.5% (1.2%-9.9%) with an incident HPV within 15 years. Triage with cytology (with threshold of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) yielded positive predictive value (PPV) of 21.4% (13.8%-29.0%), entailing immediate colposcopic referral, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 97.4% (94.6%-100%), permitting retesting at short intervals. Triage with genotyping (16/18/31/33/45/52/58) or prior HPV results showed comparable performance with cytology. Among 11 triage algorithms with similar NPV to cytology, triage with prior HPV results and reflex genotyping (16/18) achieved highest PPV of 28.9% (18.8%-39.1%) and lowest colposcopy referral of 33.2% (27.4%-39.5%). HPV persistence across rounds is an effective risk stratifier in HPV-positive women. Mainstream cytology and genotyping, with or without consideration of prior HPV results, remain effective for HPV triage at fourth round. PREVENTION RELEVANCE: The study highlights the sustained effectiveness of mainstream HPV triage methods, such as cytology and genotyping, after sequential rounds of cervical screening. It also suggests that use of HPV persistence across rounds can improve management of HPV-positive women in cervical cancer screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high cost and insufficient supply of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have slowed the pace of controlling cervical cancer. A phase III clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a novel Escherichia coli-produced bivalent HPV-16/18 vaccine. METHODS A multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial started on November 22, 2012 in China. In total, 7372 eligible women aged 18-45 years were age-stratified and randomly assigned to receive three doses of the test or control (hepatitis E) vaccine at months 0, 1, and 6. Co-primary endpoints included high-grade genital lesions and persistent infection (over 6 months) associated with HPV-16/18. The primary analysis was performed on a per-protocol susceptible population of individuals who were negative for relevant HPV type-specific neutralizing antibodies (at day 0) and DNA (at day 0 through month 7) and who received three doses of the vaccine. This report presents data from a prespecified interim analysis used for regulatory submission. RESULTS In the per-protocol cohort, the efficacies against high-grade genital lesions and persistent infection were 100.0% (95% confidence interval = 55.6% to 100.0%, 0 of 3306 in the vaccine group vs 10 of 3296 in the control group) and 97.8% (95% confidence interval = 87.1% to 99.9%, 1 of 3240 vs 45 of 3246), respectively. The side effects were mild. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were noted. Robust antibody responses for both types were induced and persisted for at least 42 months. CONCLUSIONS The E coli-produced HPV-16/18 vaccine is well tolerated and highly efficacious against HPV-16/18-associated high-grade genital lesions and persistent infection in women.

Abstract
Background How to best triage human papillomavirus (HPV) positive women remains controversial in an era of HPV primary screening of cervical cancer. Here, we assessed the long-term risk stratification for triaging HPV 16 positive women by standalone HPV 16 methylation and combined with E6 oncoprotein. Methods A total of 1742 women underwent screening with HPV DNA testing, cytology, and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) in 2005 and were followed for 10 years. Seventy-seven women with HPV 16 positivity determined by HPV genotyping test were examined via E6 oncoprotein detection and bisulfite pyrosequencing for quantitative methylation of L1 and LCR genes of HPV 16. Results The 10-year cumulative incidence rate (CIR) of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or severe (CIN3+) for HPV 16 positive women was 25.3% (95% CI 14.7–37.3%), which significantly increased in women with high methylation at six sites (CpG 5602, 6650, 7034, 7461, 31, and 37) and in women with positive E6 oncoprotein. A methylation panel based on the above six sites showed a competitive risk stratification compared to cytology (HR 11.5 vs. 8.1), with a higher 10-year CIR of CIN3+ in panel positives (57.2% vs 36.8%) and comparable low risk in panel negatives (5.7% vs 4.8%).The sensitivity and specificity for accumulative CIN3+ was 85.7% (95%CI 60.1–96.0%) and 78.4% (95%CI 62.8–88.6%) for a methylation panel and 57.1% (95%CI 32.6–78.6%) and 86.5% (95%CI 72.0–94.1%) for E6 oncoprotein. The AUC values of methylation standalone and the co-testing of methylation panel and E6 oncoprotein were around 0.80, comparable to 0.68 for cytology, 0.65 for viral load, and superior to 0.52 for VIA (p < 0.05). Conclusions Our findings indicated the promising use of HPV 16 methylation alone or combined with E6 oncoprotein for triaging HPV 16 positive women based on the long-term risk stratification ability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate long-term outcomes of biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) or normal cervix and identify the cofactors during disease progression. METHODS In 1999, a cervical cancer screening cohort in Shanxi, China, enrolled 1997 women aged 35-45. They were followed up at year 6, 11, and 15 after enrollment with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) DNA testing, liquid-based cytology, and visual inspection with acetic acid. Progression, persistence, and regression rates were calculated, stratified by baseline hrHPV and cytological status. Risk factors associated with hrHPV acquisition, persistence, and progression were examined. RESULTS The cumulative rates of progression to CIN2+ among CIN1 over 6, 11, and 15 years were 7.5%, 21.4%, and 24.0%, respectively; the regression rates to normal cervix were 85.0%, 76.7%, and 72.9%, respectively. Over 6, 11, and 15 years, 0.7%, 2.9%, and 5.2% of normal cervix developed CIN2+, respectively, but over 90% remained normal after 15 years. CIN1 or normal cervix positive for hrHPV had significantly higher progression rates to CIN2+ than those without hrHPV. Similarly, the severity of cytological status was found to be associated with an increased risk of developing CIN2+. Women who had an earlier sexual debut were at a higher risk of acquiring new HPV infection and repeated HPV infections. CONCLUSIONS Clinical follow-up strategies for women with CIN1 or normal cervix could be adjusted accordingly based on hrHPV/cytology status.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is a major public health concern in China. We report the end‐of‐study results of a phase II/III trial to assess the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of the AS04‐human papillomavirus (HPV)‐16/18 vaccine in Chinese women aged 18‐25 years followed for up to 72 months after first vaccination. Results of approximately 57 months following first vaccination have been previously reported. Methods Healthy 18‐25‐year‐old women (N = 6051) were randomized (1:1) to receive three doses of AS04‐HPV‐16/18 vaccine or Al(OH)3 (control) at Months 0‐1‐6. Vaccine efficacy against HPV‐16/18 infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), cross‐protective vaccine efficacy against infections and lesions associated with nonvaccine oncogenic HPV types, immunogenicity, and safety were assessed. Efficacy was assessed in the according‐to‐protocol efficacy (ATP‐E) cohort (vaccine N = 2888; control N = 2892), total vaccinated cohort for efficacy (TVC‐E; vaccine N = 2987; control N = 2985) and TVC‐naïve (vaccine N = 1660; control N = 1587). Results In initially HPV‐16/18 seronegative/DNA‐negative women, vaccine efficacy against HPV‐16/18‐associated CIN grade 2 or worse was 87.3% (95% CI: 5.5, 99.7) in the ATP‐E, 88.7% (95% CI: 18.5, 99.7) in the TVC‐E, and 100% (95% CI: 17.9, 100) in the TVC‐naïve. Cross‐protective efficacy against incident infection with HPV‐31, HPV‐33 and HPV‐45 was 59.6% (95% CI: 39.4, 73.5), 42.7% (95% CI: 15.6, 61.6), and 54.8% (95% CI: 19.3, 75.6), respectively (ATP‐E). At Month 72, >95% of initially seronegative women who received HPV vaccine in the ATP cohort for immunogenicity (N = 664) remained seropositive for anti‐HPV‐16/18 antibodies; anti‐HPV‐16 and anti‐HPV‐18 geometric mean titers were 678.1 EU/mL (95% CI: 552.9, 831.5) and 343.7 EU/mL (95% CI: 291.9, 404.8), respectively. Serious adverse events were infrequent (1.9% vaccine group [N = 3026]; 2.7% control group [N = 3025]). Three and zero women died in the control group and the vaccine group respectively. New onset autoimmune disease was reported in two women in the vaccine group and two in the control group. Conclusions This is the first large‐scale randomized clinical trial of HPV vaccination in China. High and sustained vaccine efficacy against HPV‐16/18‐associated infection and cervical lesions was demonstrated up to Month 72. The vaccine had an acceptable safety profile. Combined with screening, prophylactic HPV vaccination could potentially reduce the high burden of HPV infection and cervical cancer in China. Trial registration NCT00779766.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic value of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) combined with bronchial brushing cytology for detecting lung cancer. Methods: Centromeric enumeration probes (CEPs) for chromosomes 7, 8 and 17 were used in FISH assay. The combination of FISH and cytology was analyzed in 69 bronchial brushing specimens. Results: The positive rates of CEP7, CEP8 and CEP17 in malignant cases diagnosed by cytology were 50.0%, 80.8% and 65.4%, respectively. CEP8 probe showed significantly higher positive rate than CEP7 (P=0.015). In the samples of suspicious of malignancy, the positive rates of CEP7, CEP8 and CEP17 were 46.6%, 66.7% and 58.8%, respectively. While in atypical cases, the positive rates of these three probes were 20.0%, 33.3% and 25.0%, respectively. There was no statistical difference between suspicious of malignancy and atypical cases (P>0.05) as well as between malignant and suspicious of malignancy (P>0.05). No chromosome aberrations were found in normal cases diagnosed by cytology. The positive rates of these three probes in adenocarcinoma (ADC) were slightly higher than those in squamous cell carcinoma and small cell lung cancer. However, only CEP8 probe showed statistically difference between ADC and small cell lung cancer (P=0.044). The combination of cytology and FISH using any one of the three-probe set (CEP7, CEP8 and CEP17) showed the sensitivity and specificity of 80.3% and 100.0%, while those of cytology were 54.1% and 100.0%, respectively. Conclusions: FISH combined with cytomorphology assisted the cytology diagnosis of suspicious of malignancy and atypical cases. Therefore, it significantly improved the diagnostic sensitivity for lung cancer without sacrificing specificity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Self-collected HPV testing could substantially reduce disparities in cervical cancer screening, with slightly lower sensitivity compared to physician-collected specimens cross-sectionally. We aimed to evaluate the comprehensive long-term performance of self-collected HPV testing prospectively. METHODS In 1999, 1997 women were screened by HPV testing on self-collected and physician-collected samples, cytology and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and followed up in 2005, 2010 and 2014, respectively. HPV testing was performed with Hybrid Capture II. Prospective performance, baseline clinical efficiency, and 15-year cumulative risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (CIN2+) were analyzed. RESULTS Self-collected HPV testing prospectively detected 83.3% (95% CI:74.9%,89.3%), 70.3% (95% CI:62.5%,77.2%) and 63.3% (95% CI:55.7%, 70.2%) of cumulative CIN2+ at 6-year, 11-year and 15-year follow-up, respectively. Relative cumulative sensitivity of physician-collected HPV testing versus self-collected HPV testing was stable over 15 years at about 1.16. Cumulative sensitivity of self-collected HPV testing was comparable to cytology and significantly higher than VIA. Among women positive by self-collected HPV testing at baseline, 26.2% (95% CI:21.5%, 30.9%) developed CIN2+ during 6-year follow-up and no difference was observed with physician-collected HPV testing even 15 years after baseline. Negative self-collected HPV results provided greater protection against CIN2+ than VIA and ascertained CIN2+ cumulative incident rates as low as 1.1% at the 6-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Self-collected HPV testing demonstrates lower sensitivity than physician-collected HPV testing but performs comparably to cytology prospectively and provides satisfactory assurance against CIN2+, indicating an alternative role in cervical cancer primary screening with five-year interval as an option especially in low-resource settings.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the role of HPV viral loads in random biopsy under normal colposcopy. Methods: 908 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and HPV positive women, recruited in cluster sampling in 9 provinces including 5 urban areas and 9 rural areas in China from 1999 to 2008 and meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in this analysis. According to relative light units/cutoff (RLU/CO) value, subjects were stratified as low (286 cases), intermediate (311 cases) and high (311 cases) viral load groups. Risks of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) among different viral load groups were compared with linear trend Chi-square test. Results: Detection rate of CIN3+ in low, intermediate and high viral load groups were 2.1% (6 cases), 2.6% (8 cases) and 6.8% (21 cases) (Chi-square test for trend χ(2)=8.91, P=0.003) and were 60.3, 74.0 and 201.3 times higher than ASC-US and HPV negative women, respectively. Among 908 subjects, 27.0% (245 cases) were abnormal under colposcopy and 68.6% (623 cases) diagnosed as normal. Under normal colposcopy, detection rate of CIN3+ in low, intermediate and high viral load groups were 0.9% (2 cases), 0.9% (2 cases) and 3.8% (7 cases) (χ(2)=6.42, P=0.040). Conclusion: HPV viral loads display satisfactory risk stratification ability among ASC-US and HPV positive women under normal colposcopy. Women with high HPV viral loads show a significantly increased detection rate of existing CIN3+ and could be recommended to perform random biopsy for histologic diagnosis.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the clinical performance of p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology identifying high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+) in Chinese women. Methods 1079 women attending ongoing cervical cancer screening and 211 “enriched” women aged ≥30yrs with biopsy-confirmed CIN2+ from five Chinese hospitals were enrolled during year 2014-2015. Cervical specimens were collected for high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA analysis, Liquid-based cytology (LBC) and p16/Ki-67 dual staining. Colposcopy and biopsy were performed on women with any abnormal result. Results p16/Ki-67 positivity increased with histologic severity. It was 18.4%(183/996) in normal histology, 54.0%(34/63) in CIN1, 81.0%(34/42) in CIN2, 93.3%(111/119) in CIN3, 71.4% (5/7) in adenocarcinoma and 95.2%(60/63) in squamous cell carcinoma. Compared with the HR-HPV negatives, p16/Ki-67 expression was significantly higher in the HPV16/18 positive (OR: 35.45(95%CI: 23.35-53.84)) and other 12 HR-HPV types positive group (OR: 8.01(95%CI: 5.81-11.05). The sensitivity and specificity of p16/Ki-67 to detect CIN2+ in the entire population were 90.9% and 79.5%, respectively. In women with ASC-US and LSIL, sensitivity and specificity for detection of CIN2+ were 87.5% and 66.4%, respectively, with a referral rate of 43.8%. In women who tested positive for HR-HPV, sensitivity and specificity of dual-staining for detection of CIN2+ were 92.7% and 52.7%, respectively, and the referral rate was 68.7%. Conclusions p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology provided a high sensitivity and moderate specificity to detect underlying cervical precancer and cancers in various settings, and might be considered as an efficient screening tool in China.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trichomonas vaginitis (TV) infection has obviously been implicated in gynecological morbidity but still unclear in cervical lesions. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of hr-HPV infection and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2 + ) by TV infection. STUDY DESIGN The pooled study was conducted among 12 population-based, cervical cancer screening studies throughout China (N = 24,054). HPV was detected by Hybrid Capture®2 (HC2) test. Past TV infection was measured by self-reporting, current TV infection was diagnosed by liquid-based cytology (LBC), cervical lesions was diagnosed by histopathology. RESULTS Respective prevalence of hr-HPV and CIN2+ were 17.4% and 3.3%. Out of 24,054 women, 14.6% reported past TV infection, and out of 11,853 women, 9.9% had current TV infection. Current TV-positive women had an increased risk for hr-HPV (OR 1.31, 95%CI: 1.11-1.56). The risk of CIN2+ decreased for hr-HPV positive women with current TV infection (adjusted OR 0.50, 95% CI: 0.30-0.84) and past TV infection (adjusted OR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.54-0.86). Among hr-HPV negative women, no significant associations were observed between past or current TV infection and risk of CIN2+. CONCLUSIONS Women infected with HPV are more likely to be infected by other types of sexually transmitted diseases. Current TV-positive women had an increased risk for hr-HPV infection compared to currently TV-negative women. Both past and current TV-positive women had a decreased risk for CIN2+, especially among high-risk HPV positive women. More direct investigation into the interaction between TV, HPV, inflammatory signals, and risk of carcinogenesis are further needed.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the type-specific prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) among women aged 18-45 years from the general population in Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Methods: Totally, 2 300 women aged 18-45 years old were enrolled in Liuzhou,from March to July, 2013. Cervical exfoliated cells were collected for liquid based cytological and HPV DNA tests. Women were referred to colposcopy exam, based on the clinical practice guideline. Results: Overall, the prevalence rates of any HPV or oncogenic HPV appeared as 22.7% (95% CI: 21.0%-24.4%) and 17.3% (95% CI: 16.0%-19.1%), respectively in this population under study. The high-risk HPV prevalence peaked at the age groups of 18-25 and 41-45, increasing along with the severity through cytological and histological tests. Statistically significant differences between the prevalence of CIN2+ (Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+) in women older than 26 years (1.7%, 95% CI: 1.0%-2.4%) and 18-25 years (1.2%, 95% CI: 0.5%-1.9%) of age, were not observed. Among samples diagnosed as CIN2+, positivity of HPV bivalent (16/18) and nine-valent (6/11/16/18/31/33/45/52/58) vaccine, related high risks on the types of HPV types appeared as 44.1% and 97.1%. Conclusions: The age-specific HPV prevalence rates in the general women aged 18-45 in Liuzhou presented as having bimodal distribution, suggesting that the disease burden of cervical diseases in women aged 26-45 years should not be ignored. Nine-valent HPV vaccine might provide more effective prevention outcomes on cervical cancer in China.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the dynamic variation of genotypes distribution of human papillomavirus (HPV) over 10-year follow-up in a cervical cancer screening cohort. Methods: Based on the Shanxi Province Cervical Cancer Screening Study Ⅰ cohort, we detected HPV genotypes on the well-preserved exfoliated cervical cells from women who were tested HPV positive from year 2005 to year 2014 using reverse linear probe hybridization assay. The changes of prevalence of type-specific HPV over time among the overall population were estimated using linear mixed models. The association between the type-specific HPV and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2 +) was calculated by linear Chi-square test. Finally, the trends of multiple infections of HPV with the increase of the age were analyzed. Results: During the cervical cancer screening of the overall population from 2005 to 2014, the most common genotypes among the population were HPV16 and 52. The prevalence of HPV16 decreased over time from 4.6% in 2005 to 2.2% in 2010 and 2014 (F=8.125, P<0.001). The prevalence of HPV52 remained pretty stable and HPV33, 51 and 58 slightly decreased then apparently increased. Further stratification analysis by pathological lesions showed the same trend of the HPV prevalence for the histology normal women with the overall population. Of note, for those women with the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2 +), the detection rate of HPV16 decreased from 65.22% in 2005 to 41.03% in 2010 and finally to 31.58% in 2014 (χ(2)=4.420, P=0.036) and that of HPV33 substantially increased. No significant variation was found for other types of HPV. Multiple infection rate varied with the growing age of the women. Conclusions: The genotypes prevalence of HPV tended to vary over time during cervical cancer screening in the context of regular screening combining with immediate treatment for those CIN2 + women. HPV16 prevalence significantly decreased over time, which indicated that the variation of type-specific HPV prevalence should be considered when regular cervical cancer screening was organized using HPV technique.

Abstract
Controversy remains over whether random cervical biopsies and endocervical curettage (ECC) should be used in women with positive screening but negative colposcopy. Our paper aims to determine the indications for random biopsies and ECC among these screened positive women.Three thousand two hundred thirteen women with any positive screening test result but negative colposcopy, who received random 4-quadrant biopsies, were pooled from 17 population-based cervical cancer screening studies done in China from 1999 to 2008. The detection rates of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) and CIN grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) stratified by cytology and high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) status were assessed, as well as the false negative rates for CIN2+ and CIN3+ by random biopsies without ECC.Compared with women with negative cytology and positive HR-HPV, those with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance/low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-US/LSIL) and negative HR-HPV had the equivalent lower risks of CIN2+ and CIN3+, but ascending risks were observed in the groups of ASC-US/LSIL and positive HR-HPV, and atypical glandular cells/atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion/high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or worse (AGC/ASC-H/HSIL+). If random biopsies were only taken without ECC, 9.3% of CIN2+ and 18.5% of CIN3+ would have been missed.For women with any positive screening but negative colposcopy, in areas with good cytological infrastructure, it was necessary to perform random biopsies plus ECC on those with cytological ASC-US/LSIL and positive HR-HPV, AGC, ASC-H, or HSIL+. In contrast, those with other results should be followed up.

Abstract
We previously reported the results of a phase II/III, double‐blind, randomized controlled study in Chinese women (NCT00779766) showing a 94.2% (95% confidence interval: 62.7–99.9) HPV‐16/18 AS04‐adjuvanted vaccine efficacy (VE) against cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 or higher (CIN1+) and/or 6‐month (M) persistent infection (PI) with a mean follow‐up of <2 years, and immunogenicity until 7 months post‐dose 1. Here, we report efficacy and safety results from an event‐triggered analysis with ~3 years longer follow‐up, and immunogenicity until M24. Healthy 18–25‐year‐old women (N = 6051) were randomized (1:1) to receive three doses of HPV‐16/18 vaccine or Al(OH)3 (control) at M0, 1, 6. VE against HPV‐16/18‐associated CIN2+, and cross‐protective VE against infections with nonvaccine oncogenic HPV types, immunogenicity, and safety were assessed. In the according‐to‐protocol efficacy cohort, in initially seronegative/DNA‐negative women (vaccine group: N = 2524; control group: N = 2535), VE against HPV‐16/18‐associated CIN2+ was 87.3% (5.3–99.7); VE against incident infection or against 6‐month persistent infection associated with HPV‐31/33/45 was 50.1% (34.3–62.3) or 52.6% (24.5–70.9), respectively. At least, 99.6% of HPV‐16/18‐vaccines remained seropositive for anti‐HPV‐16/18 antibodies; anti‐HPV‐16 and ‐18 geometric mean titers were 1271.1 EU/mL (1135.8–1422.6) and 710.0 EU/ml (628.6–801.9), respectively. Serious adverse events were infrequent (1.7% vaccine group [N = 3026]; 2.5% control group [N = 3026]). Of the 1595 reported pregnancies, nine had congenital anomalies (five live infants, three elective terminations, one stillbirth) that were unlikely vaccination‐related (blinded data). VE against HPV‐16/18‐associated CIN2+ was demonstrated and evidence of cross‐protective VE against oncogenic HPV types was shown. The vaccine was immunogenic and had an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract
As China's population ages, the importance of determining prevalence of cervical disease and accurate cervical cancer screening strategies for postmenopausal women is increasing. Seventeen population-based studies were analyzed to determine prevalence of cervical neoplasia in postmenopausal women. All women underwent HPV DNA testing, visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and cytology testing. Diagnostic values for primary and combinations screening methods included sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), referral rate and area under curve (AUC) were calculated using directed biopsy or four quadrants biopsy as reference standard. Premenopausal and postmenopausal women had equal HPV infection and cervical neoplasia rates (p > 0.05). HPV DNA testing CIN3+ sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, referral rate and AUC were 97.9% (95% CI: 90.2-99.9%), 84.2% (95% CI: 82.8-85.5%), 9.9% (95% CI: 7.4-12.8%), 100% (95% CI: 99.8-100%), 17.2% (95% CI: 15.9-18.7%), 0.911, respectively. VIA values were 41.7% (95% CI: 28.4-55.9%), 94.5% (95% CI: 93.6-95.3%), 11.8% (95% CI: 7.5-17.3%), 98.9% (95% CI: 98.5-99.3%), 6.2% (95% CI: 5.3-7.1%) and 0.681, respectively. Values for VIA with HPV triage were 39.6% (95% CI: 26.6-53.8%), 99.2% (95% CI: 98.8-99.5%), 45.2% (95% CI: 30.8-60.4%), 98.9% (95% CI: 98.5-99.3%), 1.5% (95% CI: 1.1-2.0%) and 0.694, respectively. VIA and HPV DNA co-test values were 100% (95% CI: 94.0-100%), 79.5% (95% CI: 78.0-81.0%), 8.0% (95% CI: 6.0-10.3%), 100% (95% CI: 99.9-100%), 21.9% (95% CI: 20.4-23.4%) and 0.898, respectively. VIA sensitivity decreases significantly in postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal performance. HPV DNA testing maintains performance between pre- and postmenopausal women and is the most accurate primary modality for screening postmenopausal populations in low resource areas of China.

Abstract
Three different cervical screening methods [cytology, human papillomavirus(HPV) testing and visual inspection with acetic acid(VIA)] are being considered in China for the national cervical screening program. Comparing risks of CIN3 and cervical cancer (CIN3+) for different results can inform test choice and management guidelines. We evaluated the immediate risk of CIN3+ for different screening results generated from individual and combined tests. We compared tests using a novel statistic designed for this purpose called Mean Risk Stratification (MRS), in a pooled analysis of 17 cross sectional population-based studies of 30,371 Chinese women screened with all 3 methods and diagnosed by colposcopically-directed biopsies. The 3 tests combined powerfully distinguished CIN3+ risk; triple-negative screening conferred a risk of 0.01%, while HPV-positive HSIL+ that was VIA-positive yielded a risk of 57.8%. Among the three screening tests, HPV status most strongly stratified CIN3+ risk. Among HPV-positive women, cytology was the more useful second test. In HPV-negative women, the immediate risks of CIN3+ ranged from 0.01% (negative cytology), 0.00% (ASC-US), 1.1% (LSIL), to 6.6 (HSIL+). In HPV-positive women, the CIN3+ risks were 0.9% (negative cytology), 3.6% (ASC-US), 6.3% (LSIL) and 38.5% (HSIL+). VIA results did not meaningful stratify CIN3+ risk among HPV-negative women with negative or ASC-US cytology; however, positive VIA substantially elevated CIN3+ risk for all other, more positive combinations of HPV and cytology compared with a negative VIA. Because all 3 screening tests had independent value in defining risk of CIN3+, different combinations can be optimized as pragmatic strategies in different resource settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping in predicting the risk of cervical precancerous lesions or cancer in women with minor abnormal cytology. METHODS AND MATERIALS This study was conducted on 329 women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and 77 women with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) out of a total of 4,215 participants in a multicenter, cross-sectional study. Liquid-based cytology and the Hybrid Capture 2 test (HC2) were used to screen eligible women, and a Linear Array HPV genotyping test was performed on women with positive HC2 results. RESULTS The sensitivity and specificity for detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) based on HPV 16/18 were 82% [95% confidence interval (CI): 52-95%] and 91% (95% CI: 87-94%) in women with ASC-US and 67% (95% CI: 35-88%) and 84% (95% CI: 73-91%) in women with LSIL. The women infected with HPV 16/18 had a significantly higher risk of developing CIN2+ than those infected with other high-risk HPV types in both the ASC-US (OR 9.93, 95% CI: 2.02-48.88) and LSIL (OR 7.45, 95% CI: 1.60-34.68) arms. CONCLUSIONS Genotyping for HPV 16/18 greatly improves specificity, but at the expense of potential sensitivity in the triage of minor cytology abnormalities. The role of genotyping for HPV 16/18 in order to triage women with minor abnormal cytology should be further evaluated in future studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to clarify the influence of ThinPrep preparation, nodule size and guidance mode on the accuracy of thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA). METHODS A total of 1,240 thyroid FNAs were reviewed and 489 cases with histological correlations were enrolled in this study. RESULTS Of the 489 total cases examined, 101 were processed with both ThinPrep and conventional preparation and 388 entirely with ThinPrep. The overall nondiagnostic rate, sensitivity and accuracy of FNA were 2.0, 91.0 and 89.4%, respectively. The cases with a preoperative ultrasound (n = 469) were grouped according to nodule size. The nondiagnostic rate, sensitivity and accuracy of FNA did not differ significantly with nodule size (p1 = 0.339, p2 = 0.179, p3 = 0.119). A total of 101 resections were performed with palpation-guided FNA and 388 were performed with ultrasound-guided FNA. The nondiagnostic rates, sensitivity and accuracy of FNA were similar in these two groups. CONCLUSIONS The ThinPrep technique is a valid method for thyroid FNA and is effective for thyroid nodules ≥ 0.5 cm. The reliability of FNA results is not reduced with larger nodules. The use of palpation-guided FNA for palpable solid nodules is also effective.

Abstract
AIM To assess the efficacy of random biopsy in diagnosing those high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or carcinomas (HSIL+) missed by colposcopy-directed biopsy, and to identify the scenarios of cervical cancer screening when random biopsy is necessary. PATIENTS/INTERVENTIONS Data from 1997 women who participated in the Shanxi Province Cervical Cancer Screening Study I (SPOCCS I) were reviewed. Each woman received human papillomavirus (HPV) testing with the second-generation hybrid capture, liquid-based cytology, four-quadrant biopsy and endocervical curettage. The final diagnosis was based on the most severe pathological result obtained. The efficacy of random biopsy and colposcopy-directed biopsy was evaluated on the basis of the final pathological results. RESULTS For women with severe cytological abnormalities (HSIL+) and negative colposcopy, the yield of HSIL+ diagnosed by random biopsy was 25%. On the other hand, the yield of HSIL+ diagnosed by random biopsies in the negative quadrant was no more than 4% when the colposcopy was positive, regardless of the cytological findings. For women with negative HPV, no HSIL+ was found by random biopsy. For women with severe cytological abnormalities (HSIL+) and positive HPV, the yield of HSIL+ diagnosed by random biopsy was 35% when colposcopy was negative. For women with low-grade intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and positive HPV, the yield of HSIL+ diagnosed by random biopsy was 12.5% when colposcopy was negative. CONCLUSION Random biopsy is not effective in the negative quadrant in women with positive colposcopy, but should be performed in women with cytological HSIL+ but negative colposcopy, or in those with cytological LSIL or HGSL+ and positive HPV but negative colposcopy.

Abstract
This phase II/III, double-blind, randomized trial assessed the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of the human papillomavirus (HPV)-16/18 AS04-adjuvanted vaccine in young Chinese women (ClinicalTrials.gov registration NCT00779766). Women aged 18–25 years from Jiangsu province were randomized (1:1) to receive HPV vaccine (n = 3,026) or Al(OH)3 control (n = 3,025) at months 0, 1 and 6. The primary objective was vaccine efficacy (VE) against HPV-16/18 associated 6-month persistent infection (PI) and/or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1+. Secondary objectives were VE against virological and clinical endpoints associated with HPV-16/18 and with high-risk HPV types, immunogenicity and safety. Mean follow-up for the according-to-protocol cohort for efficacy (ATP-E) was ∼15 months after the third dose. In the ATP-E (vaccine = 2,889; control = 2,894), for initially HPV DNA negative and seronegative subjects, HPV-16/18 related VE (95% CI) was 94.2% (62.7, 99.9) against 6-month PI and/or CIN1+ and 93.8% (60.2, 99.9) against cytological abnormalities. VE against HPV-16/18 associated CIN1+ and CIN2+ was 100% (−50.4, 100) and 100% (−140.2, 100), respectively (no cases in the vaccine group and 4 CIN1+ and 3 CIN2+ cases in the control group). At Month 7, at least 99.7% of initially seronegative vaccine recipients had seroconverted for HPV-16/18; geometric mean antibody titres (95% CI) were 6,996 (6,212 to 7,880) EU/mL for anti-HPV-16 and 3,309 (2,942 to 3,723) EU/mL for anti-HPV-18. Safety outcomes between groups were generally similar. The HPV-16/18 AS04-adjuvanted vaccine is effective, immunogenic and has a clinically acceptable safety profile in young Chinese women. Prophylactic HPV vaccination has the potential to substantially reduce the burden of cervical cancer in China. What's New? With an estimated 75,000 new cases and 34,000 women dying from the disease annually, cervical cancer is a major public-health concern in China. This is the first large scale randomised clinical trial of a human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in China. The vaccine was found to be effective, immunogenic, and to have a clinically acceptable safety profile in young Chinese women. Prophylactic HPV vaccination thus has the potential to substantially reduce the burden of cervical cancers and precancers in China.

Abstract
Baseline human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and type distribution were evaluated in young Chinese women enrolled in a clinical trial of an HPV vaccine (ClinicalTrials.gov registration NCT00779766). Cervical specimens and blood samples were collected at baseline from women aged 18–25 years (n = 6,051) from four sites across Jiangsu province. Cervical specimens were tested for HPV DNA by SPF10 PCR-DEIA-LiPA25 version 1, and HPV-16/18 type-specific polymerase chain reaction. Anti-HPV-16 and anti-HPV-18 antibody titres were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. At baseline, 15.3% of women were DNA positive for any of 14 HPV high-risk (hr) types (HPV-16/18/31/33/35/39/45/51/52/56/58/59/66/68). The most commonly detected hrHPV types in cervical specimens were HPV-52 (4.0%) and HPV-16 (3.7%). High-risk HPV DNA-positivity increased with severity of cytological abnormalities: 39.3% in atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, 85.0% in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and 97.8% in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). The hrHPV types most frequently detected in HSIL were HPV-16 (63.0%), HPV-18 (17.4%), HPV-52 (17.4%), HPV-58 (15.2%) and HPV-33 (15.2%). The hrHPV types most frequently detected in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2+ were HPV-16 (66.1%), HPV-33 (16.1%), HPV-52 (16.1%), HPV-58 (14.5%) and HPV-51 (11.3%). Multiple hrHPV infections were reported for 24.4% of hrHPV DNA positive women. Regardless of baseline HPV DNA status, 30.5% and 16.0% of subjects were initially seropositive for anti-HPV-16 and anti-HPV-18, respectively. In conclusion, the high baseline seropositivity rate and intermediate prevalence of cervical hrHPV types in Chinese women aged 18–25 years underlines the importance of early HPV vaccination in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is important to understand the natural history of cervical cancer, which has implications for cancer prevention and management. However, a dearth of studies on the long-term development of cervical cancer exists in China. METHODS We investigated the natural history of cervical cancer in Chinese women by creating a multistate model using 11 years of follow-up data from the Shanxi Province Cervical Cancer Screening Study I conducted from 1999 to 2010. In 1999, a total of 1,997 eligible women, ages 35 to 45 years, were enrolled in Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province. Participants were followed up in 2005 and 2010, respectively. RESULTS The average time a subject spent in CIN1 before transiting into another state was 1.4693 years [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1215-1.9251] and the average time a subject spent in CIN2 was 2.9822 years (95% CI: 1.9790-4.4938). A subject's transition probability from CIN1 to normal increased with time. However, the transition probability from CIN1 to CIN2 was relatively lower, with 3-, 5-, and 10-year transition probabilities of 0.1415, 0.1066, and 0.0437. Comparison of 5-year transition probabilities between CIN2 to normal/CIN1 and CIN2 to CIN3(+) yielded a ratio of 2.74. CONCLUSIONS Women with CIN1 had a substantial tendency for regression. Similarly, women with CIN2 had a higher probability of regression to normal/CIN1 than progression to CIN3(+). Findings in this study may have significant implications for the development and evaluation of formal cervical cancer preventive strategies in China. IMPACT This study may serve as a valuable reference to future research on other multistate cancer processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of introducing HR-HPV testing in cytology regarding cervical cancer screening practice. METHODS A pooled analysis of liquid-based cytology (LBC) and HR-HPV testing using data from 13 population-based cervical cancer screening studies conducted in China was performed. Participants (n=25,404) received LBC and HR-HPV testing. Women found to be positive on screening were referred for colposcopy and biopsy. The effectiveness of screening strategies that use: LBC with HR-HPV triage for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US), HR-HPV testing with cytology triage for HPV positive tests, or LBC and HPV cotesting was compared with that of LBC screening alone. RESULTS LBC with HR-HPV triage for ASC-US had similar sensitivity compared with LBC alone, but significantly increased specificity for both cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) and CIN3 or worse (CIN3+) endpoints, and had the best balance between sensitivity and specificity among the strategies. LBC and HR-HPV cotesting had the highest sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV) and could permit a safe extension of screening intervals. Through the use of an immediate colposcopy threshold of ASC-US or worse for HR-HPV positive women and the use of a raised threshold of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or worse for HR-HPV negative women, LBC and HR-HPV cotesting could provide the same effectiveness as LBC testing with HR-HPV triage for ASC-US at baseline tests. CONCLUSIONS The results of the current study support the use of the cervical cancer screening guidelines in China.

Abstract
Background Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide; current early detection screening tests are inadequate. Esophageal balloon cytology successfully retrieves exfoliated and scraped superficial esophageal epithelial cells, but cytologic reading of these cells has poor sensitivity and specificity for detecting esophageal squamous dysplasia (ESD), the precursor lesion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Measuring telomere length, a marker for chromosomal instability, may improve the utility of balloon cytology for detecting ESD and early ESCC. Methods We examined balloon cytology specimens from 89 asymptomatic cases of ESD (37 low-grade and 52 high-grade) and 92 age- and sex-matched normal controls from an esophageal cancer early detection screening study. All subjects also underwent endoscopy and biopsy, and ESD was diagnosed histopathologically. DNA was extracted from the balloon cytology cells, and telomere length was measured by quantitative PCR. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted for telomere length as a diagnostic marker for high-grade dysplasia. Results Telomere lengths were comparable among the low- and high-grade dysplasia cases and controls, with means of 0.96, 0.96, and 0.92, respectively. The area under the ROC curve was 0.55 for telomere length as a diagnostic marker for high-grade dysplasia. Further adjustment for subject characteristics, including sex, age, smoking, drinking, hypertension, and body mass index did not improve the use of telomere length as a marker for ESD. Conclusions Telomere length of esophageal balloon cytology cells was not associated with ESCC precursor lesions. Therefore, telomere length shows little promise as an early detection marker for ESCC in esophageal balloon samples.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives: Esophageal cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The prognosis for esophageal cancer is dismal because most patients are diagnosed at a late stage. Patients can be successfully treated if diagnosed early, but current early detection screening tests are inadequate. Balloon cytology is a simple and inexpensive method of retrieving esophageal cells, but traditional cytologic examination of these cells has poor sensitivity and specificity for detecting precursor lesions. Thus, a biomarker such as DNA hypomethylation, which predisposes cells to chromosomal defects and genetic instability, may be used to improve the early detection of precursor lesions. In this study, we examined whether overall methylation levels of transposable elements Alu and long-interspersed nuclear elements (LINE-1) in the DNA extracted from balloon cytology-collected esophageal cells are associated with precursor lesions of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
Methods: The Cytology Sampling Study 2, a population-based early detection screening study of ESCC, recruited over 700 healthy subjects from a high-risk population in Linxian, China. The screening study used a mesh-covered balloon to collect esophageal cells. All subjects underwent endoscopy and Lugol's iodine, and precursor lesions were diagnosed by biopsy. Using a nested case-control study design, we examined the association between Alu and LINE-1 methylation levels and esophageal health in 50 esophagitis cases, 38 low-grade dysplasia cases, 55 high-grade dysplasia cases, and 94 matched normal controls. DNA methylation assessment of Alu and LINE-1 repetitive elements was conducted using quantitative PCR pyrosequencing on bisulphate-treated DNA extracted from cells collected by balloon cytology. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated for methylation levels as a diagnostic marker for high-grade dysplasia. Logistic regression models adjusted for age, sex, smoking tobacco, alcohol intake, and hypertension were used to examine the association between Alu and LINE-1 methylation levels and risk of high-grade dysplasia compared with the other diagnoses.
Results: Median Alu methylation levels were comparable among the esophagitis cases (24.5%), low-grade dysplasia cases (24.6%), high-grade dysplasia cases (24.6%), and normal controls (24.6%). Median LINE-1 methylation levels were also comparable among the esophagitis cases (71.8%), low-grade dysplasia cases (72.2%), high-grade dysplasia cases (71.6%), and controls (72.2%). The AUCs for using Alu and LINE-1 methylation levels as a diagnostic marker for high-grade dysplasia were 0.62 and 0.59, respectively. Overall, Alu and LINE-1 methylation levels were not associated with risk of high-grade dysplasia, with odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of 1.1 (0.9-1.4) and 1.1 (0.9-1.3), respectively.
Conclusions: Given that esophageal cancers have very poor prognoses, it is of utmost importance to improve early detection methods. In this study, esophageal cell DNA methylation levels of Alu and LINE-1 were not associated with esophageal precursor lesions, and thus do not appear useful as an early detection marker. Future early detection studies may examine DNA hypomethylation in general or loci-specific methylation levels.

Abstract
In this study, we evaluated cytomorphologic features of different subgroups of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS); we compared seven cytologic features between DCIS and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) aspirates to determine whether diagnosis of stromal invasion can be made based on fine-needle aspiration (FNA) findings. There were 142 cases of DCIS and 1,978 cases of IDC enrolled in our study. FNA analysis revealed 80.3% sensitivity for DCIS and 94.7% sensitivity for IDC. High and intermediate grade DCIS exhibited marked nuclear abnormality (92.1% vs. 35.7%, 30.0%; P1 < 0.001, P2 < 0.001) and necrosis (69.7% vs. 0%, 10.0%; P1 < 0.001, P2 = 0.001) in a higher percentage of cases compared to low grade DCIS and intraductal/intracystic papillary carcinoma. The rates of background macrophages (71.3% for DCIS and 21.9% for IDC, P < 0.001) and extensive necrosis (54.0% for DCIS and 16.7% for IDC, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in DCIS compared to IDC. Lymphocytes were observed in conjunction with tumor cells more frequently in IDC (81.3%) compared to DCIS (36.8%, P < 0.001). Stromal fragments associated with tumor cells were only observed in invasive lesions (11.9% micro-invasive DCIS and 52.1% IDC). Tubular structures were found exclusively in IDC (11.5%). Cytologic criteria for diagnosis of high and low grade DCIS are different. The suspicion of DCIS is raised when background macrophages and extensive necrosis are observed. Stromal invasion is suggested by FNA if lymphocytes are entwined around tumor cells or if stromal fragments associated with tumor cells or tubular structures are observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid-based cytology (LBC) has been widely used for cervical cancer screening. Despite numerous studies and systematic reviews, to the authors' knowledge few large studies to date have focused on biopsy-confirmed cervical lesions and controversy remains concerning its diagnostic accuracy. The objective of the current study was to assess LBC for detecting biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cancer. METHODS A pooled analysis of LBC using data from 13 population-based, cross-sectional, cervical cancer screening studies performed in China from 1999 to 2008 was performed. Participants (n = 26,782) received LBC and human papillomavirus testing. Women found to be positive on screening were referred for colposcopy and biopsy. The accuracy of LBC for detecting biopsy-confirmed CIN of type 2 or worse (CIN2+) as well as CIN type 3 or worse (CIN3+) lesions was analyzed. RESULTS Of 25,830 women included in the analysis, CIN2+ was found in 107 of 2612 with atypical squamous cells (4.1%), 142 of 923 with low-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (15.4%), 512 of 784 with high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (65.3%), 29 of 30 with squamous cell carcinoma (96.7%), 4 of 27 with atypical glandular cells (14.8%), and 85 of 21,454 with normal cytology results (0.4%). No invasive cancers were found to have atypical squamous cells, atypical glandular cells, or cytologically normal slides. The overall sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of LBC for detecting CIN2+ were 81.0%, 95.4%, 38.3%, 99.3 %, and 94.9%, respectively. Although Hybrid Capture 2 was more sensitive than LBC, the specificity, positive predictive value, and overall accuracy of LBC were higher than those of Hybrid Capture2 at 85.2%, 18.6%, and 85.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results of the current study indicate that the performance of LBC can effectively predict the risk of existing CIN2+ and may be a good screening tool for cervical cancer prevention in a developing country.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic values of the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), NMP22 BladderChek, and liquid-based cytology (LBC) in the detection of bladder urothelial carcinoma (UC). Consecutive voided urine samples were collected from 138 in-house patients with a variety of urologic conditions and 37 healthy individuals as negative controls. FISH, NMP22 BladderChek, and LBC were performed on the specimens. All three tests were evaluated independently in a blinded fashion. In all, 104 out of the 175 patients enrolled in this study had histologically proven UC. LBC, FISH, and NMP22 BladderChek were successfully performed on 175, 149, and 119 cases, respectively. The three tests revealed overall sensitivities of 73.1%, 86.5%, and 67.6%, respectively. FISH was more sensitive than LBC (P=0.022) and NMP22 BladderChek (P=0.004). Combination of all the tests yielded a superior sensitivity of 96.7% compared with LBC (P<0.001), NMP22 BladderChek (P<0.001), and FISH (P=0.016), with the specificity only decreased slightly. Sensitivities of the three tests enhanced significantly with increasing UC grade (P<0.05). The positive rates of FISH and NMP22 BladderChek in equivocal cytologic diagnoses were 85.7% and 61.9% in UC, and 37.5% and 50.0% in non-UC (FISH: P=0.021; NMP22 BladderChek: P=0.683). FISH was more sensitive than LBC and NMP22 BladderChek. FISH had the ability to clarify equivocal cytologic diagnoses. Combination of all three tests showed an improvement in the sensitivity compared to any single test alone in detecting UC with the specificity slightly decreased.

Abstract
High-risk (HR) human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence has been shown to correlate well with cervical cancer incidence rates. Our study aimed to estimate the prevalence of HR-HPV and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in China and indirectly informs on the cervical cancer burden in the country. A total of 30,207 women from 17 population-based studies throughout China were included. All women received HPV DNA testing (HC2, Qiagen, Gaithersburg, MD), visual inspection with acetic acid and liquid-based cytology. Women positive for any test received colposcopy-directed or four-quadrant biopsies. A total of 29,579 women had HR-HPV testing results, of whom 28,761 had biopsy confirmed (9,019, 31.4%) or assumed (19,742, 68.6%) final diagnosis. Overall crude HR-HPV prevalence was 17.7%. HR-HPV prevalence was similar in rural and urban areas but showed dips in different age groups: at age 25-29 (11.3%) in rural and at age 35-39 (11.3%) in urban women. In rural and urban women, age-standardized CIN2 prevalence was 1.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4-1.6%] and 0.7% (95% CI: 0.7-0.8%) and CIN3+ prevalence was 1.2% (95% CI: 1.2-1.3%) and 0.6% (95% CI: 0.5-0.7%), respectively. Prevalence of CIN3+ as a percentage of either all women or HR-HPV-positive women steadily increased with age, peaking in 45- to 49-year-old women. High prevalence of HR-HPV and CIN3+ was detected in both rural and urban China. The steady rise of CIN3+ up to the age group of 45-49 is attributable to lack of lesion removal through screening. Our findings document the inadequacy of current screening in China while indirectly raising the possibility that the cervical cancer burden in China is underreported.

Abstract
AIM: To explore the DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) technique as a primary screening method for esophageal squamous precancerous lesions.
METHODS: This study was designed as a population-based screening study. A total of 582 local residents aged 40 years-69 years were recruited from Linzhou in Henan and Feicheng in Shandong. However, only 452 subjects had results of liquid-based cytology, DNA-ICM and pathology. The sensitivity and specificity of DNA-ICM were calculated and compared with liquid-based cytology in moderate dysplasia or worse.
RESULTS: Sensitivities of DNA-ICM ranging from at least 1 to 4 aneuploid cells were 90.91%, 86.36%, 79.55% and 77.27%, respectively, which were better than that of liquid-based cytology (75%). Specificities of DNA-ICM were 70.83%, 84.07%, 92.65% and 96.81%, but the specificity of liquid-based cytology was 91.91%. The sensitivity and specificity of a combination of liquid-based cytology and DNA-ICM were 84.09% and 85.78%, respectively.
CONCLUSION: It is possible to use DNA-ICM technique as a primary screening method for esophageal squamous precancerous lesions.

Abstract
Background Worldwide, one-seventh of cervical cancers occur in China, which lacks a national screening program. By evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of self-collected cervicovaginal specimens tested for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA (Self-HPV testing) in China, we sought to determine whether Self-HPV testing may serve as a primary cervical cancer screening method in low-resource settings. Methods We compiled individual patient data from five population-based cervical cancer–screening studies in China. Participants (n = 13 140) received Self-HPV testing, physician-collected cervical specimens for HPV testing (Physician-HPV testing), liquid-based cytology (LBC), and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA). Screen-positive women underwent colposcopy and confirmatory biopsy. We analyzed the accuracies of pooled Self-HPV testing, Physician-HPV testing, VIA, and LBC to detect biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or more severe (CIN2+) and CIN3+. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results Of 13 004 women included in the analysis, 507 (3.9%) were diagnosed as CIN2+, 273 (2.1%) as CIN3+, and 37 (0.3%) with cervical cancer. Self-HPV testing had 86.2% sensitivity and 80.7% specificity for detecting CIN2+ and 86.1% sensitivity and 79.5% specificity for detecting CIN3+. VIA had statistically significantly lower sensitivity for detecting CIN2+ (50.3%) and CIN3+ (55.7%) and higher specificity for detecting CIN2+ (87.4%) and CIN3+ (86.9%) (all P values < .001) than Self-HPV testing, LBC had lower sensitivity for detecting CIN2+ (80.7%, P = .015), similar sensitivity for detecting CIN3+ (89.0%, P = .341), and higher specificity for detecting CIN2+ (94.0%, P < .001) and CIN3+ (92.8%, P < .001) than Self-HPV testing. Physician-HPV testing was more sensitive for detecting CIN2+ (97.0%) and CIN3+ (97.8%) but similarly specific for detecting CIN2+ (82.7%) and CIN3+ (81.3%) (all P values <.001) than Self-HPV testing. Conclusions The sensitivity of Self-HPV testing compared favorably with that of LBC and was superior to the sensitivity of VIA. Self-HPV testing may complement current screening programs by increasing population coverage in settings that do not have easy access to comprehensive cytology-based screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cytologic screening of asymptomatic high risk individuals can detect curable esophageal carcinomas and has been used for several decades. However, the sensitivity of such screening is relatively low, which limits its wide use and development. This study was to investigate the utility of liquid-based cytology in esophageal carcinoma screening. METHODS A mass screening of esophageal carcinoma was performed for asymptomatic residents in Yaocun County, Linzhou City, Henan Province, China. Esophageal biopsy samples were put into a liquid buffer for cytologic diagnosis and subsequent endoscopic biopsies were made on all subjects. Cytologic categories were adapted from criteria of the Bethesda system (TBS). RESULTS of liquid-based cytology were compared with those from endoscopic biopsy. The sensitivity and the specificity of liquid-based cytology were evaluated. RESULTS Carcinomas in situ and carcinomas were identified in 17 (2.4%) of 710 subjects. Measured by ASC/AGC (atypical squamous cells or atypical glandular cells) as the detection threshold, the sensitivity and the specificity of liquid-based cytology were 76.5% and 76.0%, respectively. CONCLUSION In a hospital with a high level of conventional cytology, liquid-based technique can be used widely since the work load of reading slides may greatly decrease, although this technique do not significantly improve the sensitivity of screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the expression of EGFR, survivn and hnRNPA2/B1 proteins in ThinPrep bronchial brushing cytology specimens and their significance in diagnosis of lung cancer. METHODS The protein expression of EGFR, survivn and hnRNPA2/B1 was detected by immunocytochemistry (ICC) in the specimens from 110 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 32 cases of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and 37 cases of non-neoplastic lung lesions. The relationship between EGFR, survivn and hnRNPA2/B1 protein expression and clinical characteristics of the patients was analyzed using SPSS 16.0 software. RESULTS (1) Positive expression was observed in 81.1% of NSCLC for EGFR, 66.2% for survivn, 90.9% for hnRNPA2/B1, significantly higher in NSCLC than in the control specimens (P = 0.000, P = 0.000, P = 0.010). The positive expression rate of hnRNPA2/B1 in SCLC was 92.3%, significantly higher than that in the control specimens (P = 0.021). (2) The expression of EGFR was associated with differentiation (P = 0.003), clinical stage (P = 0.023) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.038), but was not associated with gender, age and histological types. The survivn expression was not related with the above mentioned clinicopathological features (P>0.05). Expression of hnRNPA2/B1 was associated with clinical stage (P = 0.017), but not associated with gender, age, histological type, differentiation and lymph node metastasis. (3) There was a significant difference between the co-expression of EGFR and survivn in NSCLC (98.0%) and benign conditions (2.0%, P = 0.000), also a significant difference between the negative expression of both EGFR and survivn in NSCLC (38.2%) and nonneoplastic lesions (61.8%, P = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS Analysis of EGFR, survivn and hnRNPA2/B1 expression may be an useful adjunct method to stratify controversial cases. The positive expression of EGFR might be associated with invasion, progression and poor prognosis of NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liquid-based cytology (LBC) has been compared with conventional cytology in numerous studies. In the current study of 2 LBC systems, the accuracy, rates of unsatisfactory cytology, and sufficiency of residual LBC specimens for Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) HPV DNA testing were compared. METHODS Eligible women ages 30 to 49 years were recruited for this cross-sectional population-based study in rural China. Women were assessed by visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), LBC, and high-risk HPV HC2 DNA assay. Cervical specimens were preserved according to SurePath or ThinPrep protocols. LBC results were manually read. HC2 testing was performed on specimens with sufficient residual volume. Colposcopies and biopsies were performed on women who were VIA positive at the time of initial screening. Women with abnormal LBC or HC2 test results were called back for colposcopies and 4-quadrant cervical biopsies. RESULTS Of 2005 eligible women, 972 were tested by SurePath and 1033 by ThinPrep. Compared with SurePath samples, ThinPrep samples had higher rates of unsatisfactory cytology (0.2% for SurePath and 1.5% for ThinPrep) and insufficient residual volume for HC2 (0.0% for SurePath and 18.2% for ThinPrep). SurePath samples yielded higher sensitivities and similar specificities for LBC and HC2 testing of residual specimens, but these differences were not determined to be significant by area-under-the-curve analysis (LBC performance: 0.89 for SurePath and 0.85 for ThinPrep; HC2 performance: 0.91 for SurePath and 0.89 for ThinPrep). CONCLUSIONS Both methods yielded similar validity in detecting significant cervical lesions. However, SurePath samples yielded higher rates of satisfactory LBC slides and sufficient residual volume for HC2.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the molecular mechanisms through which polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1) takes part in anoikis resistance of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The role of PLK1 in cell anoikis resistance was examined by ectopic gene expression and siRNA-mediated knockdown. Glutathione S-transferase pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assays were utilized to investigate PLK1-interacting proteins. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and reporter gene assays were carried out to identify the transcription factors responsible for PLK1 expression during anoikis resistance. RESULTS We found that detachment of ESCC cells triggers the upregulation of PLK1. Elevated PLK1 expression contributes to protection against anoikis in cancer cells through the regulation of β-catenin expression. Moreover, we showed that, through direct binding to the PLK1 promoter, the NF-κB subunit RelA transcriptionally activates PLK1, which inhibits the ubiquitination and degradation of β-catenin. Inhibition of the NF-κB pathway restores the sensitivity of cancer cells to anoikis by downregulating PLK1/β-catenin expression. In addition, RelA gene amplification and protein overexpression was significantly correlated with PLK1 expression in ESCC tissues. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that upregulation of PLK1 triggered by cell detachment is regulated by RelA at the transcriptional level. PLK1 protects esophageal carcinoma cells from anoikis through modulation of β-catenin protein levels by inhibiting their degradation. Taken together, this study reveals critical mechanisms involved in the role of RelA/PLK1/β-catenin in anoikis resistance of ESCC cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity, specificity of touch imprint cytology (TIC), and to compare its conformity rate with histopathology, to observe the consistence of immunocytochemistry (ICC) with immunohistochemistry (IHC), and to assess the diagnostic value of TIC prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer. METHODS 289 cases of TIC and 287 cases with core needle biopsy (CNB) histopathology accumulated from October 2005 to October 2008 in our hospital were included in this study. One hundred ninety cases TIC results were compared with that of final histopathology. 64 cases were tested for ER, PR, HER-2 by immunocytochemistry. RESULTS Twenty-four benign cases and 263 malignant cases were diagnosed. 4 specimens were unsatisfactory. False negative rate and unsatisfactory rate were 1.4%, both, and false positive rate was 0.35%. The accuracy rate of TIC and CNB was 95.8% and 95.3%, respectively (P = 0.804). The sensitivity of TIC and CNB was 96.2% and 95.0% (P = 0.601), specificity 87.5% and 100% (P = 0.471) were found, when compared with the results of routine histopathology. 52 cases had a control with IHC of CNB in 64 ICC, and 43 cases had a final histopathology IHC. The ICC conformity rate of ER, PR, HER-2 with IHC of CNB was 86.5%, 75.0%, 78.8%, and that with IHC of final histopathology was 88.4%, 74.4%, 75.6%, respectively. The conformity rate of IHC between CNB and final histopathology was 83.7%, 74.4%, 76.5%, respectively. There was no significant statistical difference between them. CONCLUSION Compared with routine CNB histopathology, TIC has a high accuracy and sensitivity, and can provide a rapid and reliable cytological diagnosis to complement CNB for breast lesions. The conformity rates are high in ER, PR, HER-2 expression between ICC and IHC. ICC of TIC can be used to determine the estrogen and progesterone receptor levels in breast cancer before neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
The causal relationship between persistent high-risk human papillomavirus infection and cervical cancer is widely accepted. HR-HPV DNA testing, alone or in combination with Pap smear testing, may have a role in primary screening. The screening results (VIA, VILI, Pap, and HR-HPV DNA) of 9,057 women in rural China were analyzed to determine the screening performance for the detection of CIN3+. All screening strategies had comparable AUCs (0.9). Cotesting strategies had the overall highest sensitivity for CIN3+ (99.4%), followed by HR-HPV DNA testing alone (96.3%), Pap alone (80.2%), and reflex testing (75.4%). Reflex testing had the highest specificity (96.7%), followed by Pap alone (93.3%), HR-HPV DNA testing alone (85.5%), and both cotesting strategies (LSIL: 84.8%, HSIL: 84.8%). Of the single-test strategies, HR-HPV DNA testing had a higher sensitivity (96.3% vs. 80.2%) compared with Pap testing. The specificity of the Pap test was higher (93.3% vs. 85.5%) and it had a lower percent referred for colposcopy (7.8% vs. 15.8%) than HR-HPV DNA testing. HR-HPV DNA testing with a 10.0 cutoff point (relative light units/cutoff ratio) had a sensitivity (85.2%) and specificity (90.6%) estimate comparable to Pap testing. A single-test primary screening strategy with adequate performance would permit less frequent screening and be most appropriate. Of the primary screening strategies investigated in this setting in China, the performance of HR-HPV DNA testing with an increased cutoff-point might best meet these criteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and accuracy of different cervical cancer screening algorithms suitable for different regions, and promote the prevention and control of cervical cancer in China. METHODS Using the data of a cross-sectional comparative trial of multiple techniques to detect cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Xiangyuan County, Shanxi Province, conducted in 1999, to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of different cervical cancer screening algorithms. All the women were screened by six screening tests, including liquid based cytology (LBC), fluorescence spectroscopy, visual inspection with 5% acetic acid staining (VIA), colposcopy, self-sampled HPV DNA and clinician-sampled HPV DNA test, and each woman had histopathological diagnosis. Different screening algorithms were developed by combining the screening tests in parallel or in serial, and the performance indexes of the algorithms such as sensitivity, specificity, colposcopy referral rate and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for detecting the high grade lesions (>or= CIN 2) were compared. RESULTS Among the algorithms combined by LBC and HPV DNA testing, for the combination in parallel (either cytology was greater than ASC-US or HPV positives), its sensitivity was 100%, specificity was 68.6%, and colposcopy referral rate was 34.4%; for the algorithm of LBC as primary screening test, with ASC-US women triage by HPV DNA testing, its sensitivity was 93.0%, specificity was 89.9%, and colposcopy referral rate was 13.7%; for the algorithm of HPV DNA testing as the primary screening test, with HPV positive women triage by LBC, its sensitivity was 91.7%, specificity was 93.0%, and colposcopy referral rate was 10.6%. ROC analysis showed that LBC primary testing followed by HPV triage and HPV primary testing followed by LBC triage were much better than the combination in parallel (P = 0.0003, P = 0.0002). Among the algorithms with LBC or HPV DNA testing solely as primary screening test, the sensitivity, specificity and colposcopy referral rate of LBC were 94.2%, 77.3%, 25.7% and 87.2%, 93.5%, 10.0%, respectively, for cutoff by ASC-US or by LSIL; the sensitivity, specificity and colposcopy referral rate of HPV DNA testing were 97.6%, 84.8%, 18.8% and 83.5%, 85.9%, 17.1%, respectively, for clinician-sampled and self-sampled. Clinician-sampled HPV DNA testing was better than LBC cutoff by ASC-US or self-sampled HPV DNA testing (P = 0.005, P = 0.002). Among the algorithms combined by VIA and HPV DNA testing, the sensitivity, specificity and colposcopy referral rate were 70.9%, 74.3% and 27.6% for VIA alone as primary screening test; the sensitivity, specificity and colposcopy referral rate were 65.9%, 95.2% and 7.4% for HPV as primary screening test with HPV positive women triage by VIA. HPV primary testing followed by VIA triage was better than VIA alone (P = 0.004). CONCLUSION Considering the health-resource settings and women's preference, both HPV primary testing followed by LBC triage and LBC primary testing followed by HPV triage are suitable for developed regions, moderately developed regions may choose either LBC or HPV as the screening approach, VIA is a suitable primary screening test in less developed regions, and HPV primary testing followed by VIA triage will be more effective if low cost HPV test is available in the future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether ImmunoCyt (uCyt+) immunofluorescence and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) immunocytochemistry add additional diagnostic value in the detection of urothelial carcinoma (UC) in samples of urine liquid-based cytology (LBC). STUDY DESIGN We prospectively collected voided urine samples from a total of 169 in-house patients with a variety of urologic conditions. Voided urine samples from 22 healthy individuals who came to the clinic as part of a routine annual physical examination were also collected as negative controls. Urine LBC, uCyt+ immunofluorescence and CK20 immunocytochemistry were performed on the specimen, and all 3 tests were evaluated independently in a blinded fashion. Cystoscopy with histologic diagnosis was used as the gold standard for diagnosis. RESULTS Of 169 inpatients, 135 cases had histologic diagnoses, including 93 cases of UC with primary tumors in 68 and recurrent tumors in 25, 26 cases of other urologic malignancies and 16 cases of benign urologic lesions. Comparing to LBC, both uCyt+ and CK20 had a significant increase in the sensitivity of detecting UC (from 49.4% for cytology to 81.6% and 77.0% for uCyt+ and CK20, respectively, p < 0.0001 for both by chi2 test). The specificity, in contrast, did not show significant change (from 91.1% for LBC, to 86.7% for uCyt+ and 91.1% for CK20, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Both uCyt+ and CK20 performed on LBC samples showed an improvement in the sensitivity of cytology in detecting UC, especially for low grade UC, without a significant decrease in specificity. These tests provide useful adjunct markers for cytologic detection of UC.

Abstract
We estimate the accuracy of colposcopy and visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) while minimizing the effects of misclassification bias, and maximizing ascertainment of disease. VIA was performed by experienced physicians on a population-based sample of women aged 30 to 49 years in rural Shanxi province, China. Each woman received VIA, liquid-based cytology (LBC) and hybrid capture 2 (hc2, QIAGEN, Gaithersburg, MD; formerly Digene Corporation). Any woman who tested positive on any test had colposcopy, endocervical curettage (ECC) with directed biopsies as necessary and 4-quadrant random biopsies from normal-appearing areas of the cervix. A standard diagnosis based on colposcopy and directed biopsy, and an expanded diagnosis including ECC and 4-quadrant random biopsy were generated for each woman. In 1,839 women, use of the expanded versus the standard diagnostic criteria increased the prevalence of histologically confirmed high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cancer (CIN2+) from 3.2% (59/1,839) to 4.2% (77/1,839) and decreased the sensitivity of VIA for CIN2+ from 69.5% (95% CI: 56.8-79.8) to 58.4% (95% CI: 47.3-68.8%) with little change in specificity of approximately 89%. Compared with the expanded diagnostic criterion, the sensitivity of a visual diagnosis of high-grade CIN or cancer by a colposcopist was 49.4% (95% CI: 38.2-60.5). The use of an expanded diagnostic criterion in this study yielded more conservative estimates of the sensitivity of VIA and colposcopy.

Abstract
AIM: To identify clonality and genetic alterations in focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and the nodules derived from it.
METHODS: Twelve FNH lesions were examined. Twelve hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs) and 22 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) were used as references. Nodules of different types were identified and isolated from FNH by microdissection. An X-chromosome inactivation assay was employed to describe their clonality status. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was detected, using 57 markers, for genetic alterations.
RESULTS: Nodules of altered hepatocytes (NAH), the putative precursors of HCA and HCC, were found in all the FNH lesions. Polyclonality was revealed in 10 FNH lesions from female patients, and LOH was not detected in any of the six FNH lesions examined, the results apparently showing their polyclonal nature. In contrast, monoclonality was demonstrated in all the eight HCAs and in four of the HCCs from females, and allelic imbalances were found in the HCAs (9/9) and HCCs (15/18), with chromosomal arms 11p, 13q and 17p affected in the former, and 6q, 8p, 11p, 16q and 17p affected in the latter lesions in high frequencies (≥ 30%). Monoclonality was revealed in 21 (40%) of the 52 microdissected NAH, but was not found in any of the five ordinary nodules. LOH was found in all of the 13 NAH tested, being highly frequent at six loci on 8p, 11p, 13q and 17p.
CONCLUSION: FNH, as a whole, is polyclonal, but some of the NAH lesions derived from it are already neoplastic and harbor similar allelic imbalances as HCAs.

Abstract
Long-term follow-up evaluations of cervical screening approaches are limited in low-resource areas. This prospective study assessed the risk of future cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or worse (CIN2+) associated with baseline human papillomavirus (HPV) and cytologic status. In rural China, 1,997 women were screened with 6 screening tests, including colposcopic evaluations, and underwent biopsies in 1999. In December 2005, 1,612 women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 or less at baseline were rescreened by visual inspection, liquid-based cytology, and HPV-DNA testing. All women underwent colposcopy at follow-up, with biopsies taken from women with visually apparent lesions or cytologic abnormalities. Twenty women developed incident CIN2+. The crude relative risk of CIN2+ for baseline HPV-positive women was 52 (95% confidence interval: 12.1, 222.5). The crude relative risk of CIN2+ was 167 (95% confidence interval: 21.9, 1,265) for baseline and follow-up repeatedly HPV-positive women compared with repeatedly HPV-negative women. Among 1,374 baseline HPV-negative women, 2 and no incident CIN2+ cases were detected in baseline cytologically normal and abnormal subgroups, respectively. Among 238 baseline HPV-positive women, 6 of 18 incident cases of CIN2+ developed in the cytologically normal group. This study demonstrates that a single oncogenic HPV-DNA test is more effective than cytology in predicting future CIN2+ status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between viral load of high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS Cervical exfoliated cells were collected from 18 186 women aged 17 -59 from six urban areas and eight rural areas when they were screened in the cross-sectional population-based studies from 1999 to 2008. HR-HPV was detected by the Hybrid Capture 2 (hc2) system, and viral load was measured by the ratio of relative light units to standard positive control (RLU/PC). RLU/PC was categorized for analysis into four groups: negative [0, 1.00), low viral load [1.0, 10.00), moderate viral load [10.00, 100.00), and high viral load > or = 100.00. Cervical lesions were diagnosed by biopsies as normal, CIN 1, CIN 2, CIN 3 and squamous cervical cancer (SCC). Association between HR-HPV viral load and CIN was evaluated by unconditional multinomial logistic regression. RESULTS The HR-HPV infection rate of the population was 14.51% (2515/17334). 100.00% (29/29) of SCC, 97.63% (206/211) of CIN 3, 93.43% (199/213) of CIN 2, 75.04% (421/561) of CIN 1 and 10.17% (1660/16320) of normal women were positive for HR-HPV DNA. The median RLUs for the HR-HPV positive women with SCC, CIN 3, CIN 2, CIN 1 and normal were 320.85, 158.05, 143.70, 125.34 and 9.64, respectively. There were significant differences among the distributions of viral loads in each lesion (chi2 = 6190.40, P < 0.01). The severity of CIN increased with the viral load (chi2 = 5493.35, P <0.01). Compared with the risks of CINs in HR-HPV negative population, the risks of CINs in low, moderate and high viral loads were increased gradually [OR(95% CI) : CIN 1 : 9.01(6.31 - 12.87), 24.96(18.23 - 34.17) and 68.42(51.40 - 91.08); CIN 2 : 26.44(12.07 - 57.95), 98.53(49.54 - 195.98) and 322.88(168.62 - 618.27); CIN 3+ : 72.89(24.02-221.18); 343.58(121.81-969.09) and >999.99(473.38 - >999.99)], and there were obvious dose-response relationships (chi2trend was 3115.05, 2413.95 and 3098.57, respectively. P< 0.01). In each age group of the HR-HPV positive population,the risks of CIN 2 + in the women with moderate or high viral load were higher than the one with low viral load [OR(95% CI): <35 : 4.71(1.23 - 18.09) and 15.06(4.40 - 51.49); 35 -: 4.01 (1.62 -9.90) and 14.09(6.15 -32.28); 40 - : 3.06(1.52 -6.16) and 7.78(4.05 -14.95); > or =45: 3.50(1.36 -9. 01) and 7.57(3.13 - 18. 30)], and there was a positive correlation between the risk of CIN 2+ and the viral load (chi2trend was 51.33, 66.28, 53.64 and 51.00, respectively. P <0.01). The risk of CIN 2 + was highest among the women aged 40 - with high viral load [OR (95% CI) : 2.02 (1.15 - 3.52)]. CONCLUSION There is strong correlation between the HR-HPV viral load and the severity of CIN, and so is the correlation between the HR-HPV viral load and the risk of CIN 2 +. A moderate to high viral load of HR-HPV should be the major risk factor for the cervical cancer and CIN 2 and CIN 3, and there is a higher risk in the women aged 35 or older than the younger ones. Considering both the age and viral load could help the doctors to manage the screening women more effectively.
