For HPV16-positive women with normal cytology, the baseline risks of CIN2/3 or worse (CIN2+/CIN3+) were 15.5% (7.0-23.9%) and 4.2% (1.4-8.5%) respectively. For Other hrHPV-positive women with normal cytology, the cumulative 3-year risks of CIN2+/CIN3+ were 3.1% (1.0-5.2%) and 0.7% (0.3-2.1%) respectively. Strikingly, 75.8% (322/425) of abnormal cytology and 50.9% (29/57) HSIL cytology were attributed to Other hrHPV infection in HPV-positive women. Similarly, Other hrHPV infection led to large proportions of CIN2 (62.7%) and CIN3+ (43.9%) over 3-year follow-up. Conclusions The co-testing modality is a feasible, effective and safe option for cervical cancer screening in urban population. Great importance should also be attached to 'genotypes excluding HPV16/18' and separate detection of each genotype when considering screening and vaccination strategy.Backgrounds Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal malignancy worldwide that is difficult to diagnose during the early stages and its tumors are recurrent. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have increasingly been associated with tumor biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. This study attempts to explore the potential clinical significance of lncRNA DUXAP8 and its co-expression related protein coding genes (PCGs) for HCC. Method Data from a total of 370 HCC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas were utilized for the analysis. DUXAP8 and its top 10 PCGs were explored for their diagnostic and prognostic implications for HCC. A risk score model and nomogram were constructed for prognosis prediction using prognosis-related genes and DUXAP8. Molecular mechanisms of DUXAP8 and its PCGs involved in HCC initiation and progression were investigated. Then, potential target drugs were identified using genome-wide DUXAP8-related differentially expressed genes in a Connectivity Map database. Results The top 10 PCGs were identified as RNF2, MAGEA1, GABRA3, MKRN3, FAM133A, MAGEA3, CNTNAP4, MAGEA6, MALRD1, and DGKI. Diagnostic analysis indicated that DUXAP8, MEGEA1, MKRN3, and DGKI show diagnostic implications (all area under curves ≥0.7, p≤0.05). Prognostic analysis indicated that DUXAP8 and RNF2 had prognostic implications for HCC (adjusted p=0.014 and 0.008, respectively). The risk score model and nomogram showed an advantage for prognosis prediction. A total of 3 target drugs were determined cinchonine, bumetanide and amiprilose and they may serve as potential therapeutic targets for HCC. Conclusion Functioning as an oncogene, DUXAP8 is overexpressed in tumor tissue and may serve as both a diagnostic and prognosis biomarker for HCC. MEGEA1, MKRN3, and DGKI maybe potential diagnostic biomarkers and DGKI may also be potentially prognostic biomarkers for HCC.Background We aimed to determine whether splenic features change during tumor progression by evaluating the clinicopathological characteristics relevant to splenic density in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and identify a new predictive indicator of prognosis and chemotherapy benefits. Methods In the present analysis, 408 patients who underwent gastrectomy were included. Density was expressed in mean spleen Hounsfield units on computed tomography. Other clinical characteristics and detailed follow-up data were collected. The cutoff splenic density was 47.8 by the Xtile software. The R software was used for characteristic differential analysis in patients with different splenic densities. The Cox proportional hazards model and forest plot were used for prognosis and chemotherapy benefit analyses. Results Patients with low splenic density had significantly worse 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates (high vs low splenic density DFS, 63.4% vs 44.6%, p less then 0.001; OS, 69.8% vs 52.4%, p less then 0.001). Splenic density showed strong negative correlations with age, number of metastasized lymph nodes, tumor size, and depth of tumor invasion. The benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy were better in the low splenic density group (hazard ratio of OS, 0.546; p=0.001) than in the low-density group (hazard ratio of OS, 0.701; p=0.106). Conclusions Patients with low splenic density tended to have more advanced tumors and poor prognosis, but better chemotherapy benefits. Splenic density can be regarded as a new indicator of chemotherapy benefits and increase the accuracy of preoperative staging evaluation. NSC663284 Moreover, preoperative evaluation of splenic density may help establish individualized treatment strategies.Background and Aim Invasion and metastasis are critical events in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) progression. Protein markers specific to this process may avoid over-treatment and urgently needed. Methods TMT-labeled mass spectrometry-based proteomics were carried out on PTC and invasive phenotype (iPTC) (3 pairs per group) and cross validate differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (FC>1.5 and less then 0.67 and p less then 0.05) with GEO and TCGA datasets and the correlation genes of DEPs were also analyzed. Results We identified and quantified 4607 proteins identical to PTC and iPTC groups. Among which 12 DEPs in PTC and 179 DEPs in iPTCs were found. Cross-validation with GSE60542 and TCGA database revealed 10 DEPs that all significant correlated with metastasis and staging. Upregulated SLC27A6 showed negative correlation with 6 out of 9 downregulated DEPs including HGD, CA4, COL23A1, SLC26A7, FHL1 and TPO. Conclusion The panel of 7 genes (SLC27A6 and 6 downregulated DEPs) could have ideal prediction value to improve our understanding of invasiveness of PTC.Background This study aimed to develop a predictive model based on the risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant stage III-pN2 lung adenocarcinoma after complete resection. Methods A total of 11,020 patients with lung surgery were screened to determine completely resected EGFR-mutant stage III-pN2 lung adenocarcinoma. Patients were excluded if they received preoperative therapy or postoperative radiation therapy (PORT). The time from surgery to LRR was recorded. Clinicopathological variables with statistical significance predicting LRR in the multivariate Cox regression were incorporated into the competing risk nomogram. Patients were then sub-grouped based on different recurrence risk as a result of the nomogram. Results Two hundred and eighty-eight patients were enrolled, including 191 (66.3%) with unforeseen N2 (IIIA1-2), 75 (26.0%) with minimal/single station N2 (IIIA3), and 22 (7.6%) with bulky and/or multilevel N2 (IIIA4). The 2-year overall cumulative incidence of LRR was 27.
