Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV) occurrence in sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP), and to assess factors associated with HPV positivity and SNIP recurrence. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. METHODS We prospectively collected clinical data and fresh tissue specimens from 90 consecutive patients treated for SNIP at Helsinki University Hospital, between 2015 and 2019. Fourteen patients with recurrent SNIP underwent repeated tumor sampling. All tissue specimens were analyzed for the presence of HPV. Factors associated with SNIP recurrence and HPV positivity were assessed. RESULTS Among 107 SNIP specimens, 14 (13.1%) were positive for low-risk HPV and 6 (5.6%) were positive for high-risk HPV. HPV positivity was associated with an increased risk of recurrence (P = .004). Smoking was significantly associated with HPV positivity in SNIP (P = .01), but a history of HPV-related diseases or patient sexual habits did not correlate with HPV positivity. The recurrence rate was lower among patients with SNIP that underwent an attachment-oriented resection, compared to patients treated without attachment-oriented resections (78.6% vs 25.8%, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The risk of SNIP recurrence was highly associated with 1) HPV positivity and 2) surgery without an attachment-oriented resection. Oncogenic HPV was rare in SNIP. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 2021.

Br J Cancer 2021; 124:831-841.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The host adaptive immune response helps determine which cervical HPV infections persist and progress to precancer and cancer, and systematic characterisation of T-cell infiltration would help inform key steps in cervical carcinogenesis. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted of infiltrating T-cells in normal cervix, low-grade lesions, high-grade lesions, and invasive cancers including epithelial, stromal, and total tissue and the following markers: CD3, CD4, CD8, FoxP3, CD25, and the CD4:CD8 ratio. An additional qualitative review summarised longitudinal data on associations between infiltrating T-cells and cervical disease persistence, regression, progression, or prognosis. RESULTS There were fewer CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells in cervical lesions and more cells in cancers compared to normal epithelium. FoxP3 and CD25+ regulatory T-cell infiltration is high in persistent and precancerous lesions, and longitudinal data show improved outcomes with lower regulatory T-cell levels. CONCLUSIONS Successful immune evasion may reduce T-cell infiltration in HPV infected and precancerous epithelium, while invasive cancers are highly immunogenic, and regulatory T-cell infiltration increases with cervical disease progression. Understanding these factors may have prognostic value and could aid in novel treatment development and clinical guidelines, but published data are highly heterogeneous and leave important gaps to be filled by future studies.

High-Risk Human Papillomavirus and Tobacco Smoke Interactions in Epithelial Carcinogenesis. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12082201.

Abstract
Cervical, anogenital, and some head and neck cancers (HNC) are etiologically associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection, even though additional cofactors are necessary. Epidemiological studies have established that tobacco smoke (TS) is a cofactor for cervical carcinogenesis because women who smoke are more susceptible to cervical cancer when compared to non-smokers. Even though such a relationship has not been established in HPV-related HNC, a group of HPV positive patients with this malignancy are smokers. TS is a complex mixture of more than 4500 chemical compounds and approximately 60 of them show oncogenic properties such as benzo[α]pyrene (BaP) and nitrosamines, among others. Some of these compounds have been evaluated for carcinogenesis through experimental settings in collaboration with HR-HPV. Here, we conducted a comprehensive review of the suggested molecular mechanisms involved in cooperation with both HR-HPV and TS for epithelial carcinogenesis. Furthermore, we propose interaction models in which TS collaborates with HR-HPV to promote epithelial cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. More studies are warranted to clarify interactions between oncogenic viruses and chemical or physical environmental factors for epithelial carcinogenesis.

Tobacco Exposure Enhances Human Papillomavirus 16 Oncogene Expression via EGFR/PI3K/Akt/c-Jun Signaling Pathway in Cervical Cancer Cells. Front Microbiol 2018; 9:3022.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is not a sufficient condition for cervical cancer development because most infections are benign and naturally cleared. Epidemiological studies revealed that tobacco smoking is a cofactor with HR-HPV for cervical cancer initiation and progression, even though the mechanism by which tobacco smoke cooperates with HR-HPV in this malignancy is poorly understood. As HR-HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins overexpressed in cervical carcinomas colocalize with cigarette smoke components (CSC), in this study we addressed the signaling pathways involved in a potential interaction between both carcinogenic agents. Cervical cancer-derived cell lines, CaSki (HPV16; 500 copies per cell) and SiHa (HPV16; 2 copies per cell), were acutely exposed to CSC at various non-toxic concentrations and we found that E6 and E7 levels were significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. Using a reporter construct containing the luciferase gene under the control of the full HPV16 long control region (LCR), we also found that p97 promoter activity is dependent on CSC. Non-synonymous mutations in the LCR-resident TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate)-response elements (TRE) had significantly decreased p97 promoter activation. Phosphoproteomic arrays and specific inhibitors revealed that CSC-mediated E6/E7 overexpression is at least in part reliant on EGFR phosphorylation. In addition, we showed that the PI3K/Akt pathway is crucial for CSC-induced E6/E7 overexpression. Finally, we demonstrated that HPV16 E6/E7 overexpression is mediated by JUN. overexpression, c-Jun phosphorylation and recruitment of this transcription factor to TRE sites in the HPV16 LCR. We conclude that acute exposure to tobacco smoke activates the transcription of HPV16 E6 and E7 oncogenes through p97 promoter activation, which involves the EGFR/PI3K/Akt/C-Jun signaling pathway activation in cervical cancer cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The recurrence rate of sinonasal inverted papillomas (SNIP) is 15-20%. However, few studies have investigated patient-dependent factors related to recurrence of SNIPs. OBJECTIVE To analyze risk factors, including human papilloma virus (HPV) infection and smoking, as well as other factors, for recurrence of SNIPs. METHODS Fifty-four patients who were diagnosed with SNIP and underwent surgery were enrolled: 39 men and 15 women, with the mean age of 54.0 years. Their mean follow-up was 40.6 months. Demographics and information about the history of smoking, previous surgery, tumor extent, follow-up, and recurrence were reviewed retrospectively. Those patients whose tumors were associated with malignant transformation were excluded in this study. HPV detection and genotyping in the tumor specimens were performed with the HPV DNA chip, a polymerase chain reaction-based DNA microarray system. RESULTS Seven patients (13.0%) had recurrence, with a mean time to recurrence of 39.8 months. Recurrence rates in T1, T2, T3, and T4 of the Krouse staging system were 0% (0/4), 8.3% (2/24), 17.4% (4/23), and 33.3% (1/3), respectively (p > 0.5). Eight patients (14.8%) were positive for HPV DNA. All of these patients belonged to the group without recurrence (p > 0.5). However, recurrence rates according to HPV DNA positivity were not statistically different (0% versus 15.2%). Three (42.9%) in the group with recurrence and four (8.5%) in the group without recurrence were smokers (p < 0.5). CONCLUSION Smoking was associated with recurrence of SNIP. However, HPV infection is not a recurrence of SNIP risk factor.

Abstract
The control arm of the phase III VIVIANE (Human PapillomaVIrus: Vaccine Immunogenicity ANd Efficacy; NCT00294047) study in women >25 years was studied to assess risk of progression from cervical HPV infection to detectable cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The risk of detecting CIN associated with the same HPV type as the reference infection was analysed using Kaplan–Meier and multivariable Cox models. Infections were categorised depending upon persistence as 6‐month persistent infection (6MPI) or infection of any duration. The 4‐year interim analysis included 2,838 women, of whom 1,073 (37.8%) experienced 2,615 infections of any duration and 708 (24.9%) experienced 1,130 6MPIs. Infection with oncogenic HPV types significantly increased the risk of detecting CIN grade 2 or greater (CIN2+) versus non‐oncogenic types. For 6MPI, the highest risk was associated with HPV‐33 (hazard ratio [HR]: 31.9 [8.3–122.2, p < 0.0001]). The next highest risk was with HPV‐16 (21.1 [6.3–70.0], p < 0.0001). Similar findings were seen for infections of any duration. Significant risk was also observed for HPV‐18, HPV‐31, and HPV‐45. Concomitant HPV infection or CIN grade 1 or greater associated with a different oncogenic HPV type increased risk. Most women (79.3%) with an HPV infection at baseline cleared detectable infections of any duration, and 69.9% cleared a 6MPI. The risk of progression of HPV infection to CIN2+ in women >25 years in this study was similar to that in women 15–25 years in PATRICIA. What's New? Which HPV infections lead to cancer in women over 25 years? Most cervical cancer follows persistent oncogenic HPV infection, but most HPV infections clear naturally. Thus, to best predict patient outcomes, it's imperative to understand how HPV infections progress to CINs. This study confirmed that in women over 25 years, persistent infection with HPV‐33 or HPV‐16 meant the greatest chance of developing a CIN—the same as was found in women 15–25 years, in an earlier analysis.

Abstract
Background The AS04-adjuvanted bivalent L1 virus-like-particle (VLP) vaccine (Cervarix™) against infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16/18 holds great promise to prevent HPV16/18 infections and associated neoplasias, but it is important to rule out significant co-factors of the neoplasias like smoking. Methods We conducted a pilot study to compare the quantity and quality of HPV16/18 antibody response at baseline and 7 months post vaccination in 104 non-smoking and 112 smoking female participants vaccinated at 0, 1 and 6 months with Cervarix™ (55 and 48 study participants) or with Hepatitis A vaccine (HAVRIX™) (48 and 64 participants, respectively). These 216 women were a sub-sample of 4808 baseline 16- to 17-year old Finnish women initially enrolled in the double-blind, randomized controlled phase III PATRICIA trial. Following end-of-study unblinding in 2009 they were randomly chosen out of all the participants of the three major Finnish PATRICIA study sites in the Helsinki metropolitan area (University of Helsinki, N = 535, and Family Federation Finland, N = 432) and Tampere (University of Tampere, N = 428). Following enrolment, serum samples were collected at month 0 and month 7 post 1st vaccination shot, and were analysed for levels and avidity of IgG antibodies to HPV16 and HPV18 using standard and modified (4 M urea elution) VLP ELISAs. Results We found that at month 7 post vaccination women who smoked (cotinine level > 20 ng/ml) had levels of anti-HPV16/18 antibodies comparable to those of non-smoking women. Low-avidity HPV16/18 IgG antibodies were observed in 16% of the vaccinated women, and active smoking conferred a three-fold increased risk (95% CI 1.0-9.3) of having the low-avidity antibodies. Conclusion Our data suggest that while smoking does not interfere with the quantity of vaccine-induced peak IgG levels, it may affect the avidity of IgG induced by HPV16/18 vaccination.

Abstract
Introduction Human papillomavirus (HPV) induce many cancer conditions and cause cervical cancer, second in frequency of malignant disease in women. The aim was to develop biomarker panel for HPV-induced cervical precancerous diseases in patients infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV). Material and methods The study involved 71 women with cervical precancerous diseases (mean age 26 ± 5 years) revealed by colposcopic, cytomorphological, and ultrasound signs which were assessed according to the following: first group, 44 patients infected with HPV; second group, 27 HPV-negative patients; and third group, 30 healthy patients (controls). In cervical specimen, we identified HPV DNA of different oncogenic risk types by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (JSC SPC ‘DiaprofMed’) were used for detecting antibodies to HSV1 and/or HSV2 and for determining the avidity index. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), IFN-α, TNF-α, and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4, IL-10, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), were studied by ELISA. Results In HPV-induced cervix precancerous diseases, we identified low-avidity IgG antibodies to HSV serum of 20 patients; in the serum of 17 patients, we identified average-avidity antibodies, and high-avidity antibodies were found in 2 patients only. In 14 HPV-negative patients, we found low-avidity IgG antibodies to HSV; in 10 patients, medium avidity. Patients with low-avidity IgG antibodies to herpes virus showed high and medium oncogenic risk HPV types and a decrease of IFN-γ compared to patients with medium-avidity IgG antibodies. Production of IFN-γ was suppressed also in HPV-negative patients with cervical precancers, but we found low- and medium-avidity IgG antibodies to herpes virus. In patients with low-avidity antibodies, we observed increased level of IL-10. Level of IFN-α, IL-1β, IL-2, and IL-4 did not change in patients of all groups, but TGF-β1 increased. Conclusions In HPV-positive patients, those with low-avidity IgG antibodies to HSV had immunosuppression, confirmed by increased TGF-β1 and violation of IFN-γ production. Therefore, in pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and IgG antibodies to HSV, their avidity is an important diagnostic biomarker of HPV-induced precancerous cervical diseases. Low-avidity IgG antibodies may be an indication for treatment with immunomodulators and antiviral drugs.

Abstract
The most common reason for women being referred to colposcopy clinics is an abnormal smear suggesting pre-cancerous change within the cervix. It has been demonstrated that in women with low-grade lesions, smoking cessation led to a reduction in size of the cervical lesion over a 6-month period. Smoking is also recognised as an independent risk factor for treatment failure of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. As 'stop smoking' services have become an integral part of the colposcopy clinic at St John's Hospital, Livingston, a national survey was undertaken. The aim of the survey was to establish what smoking cessation information, advice and support is available in colposcopy clinics throughout Scotland, and if staff had attended standardised training on raising the issue of smoking. The study demonstrated that 52% of colposcopy clinics in Scotland always establish smoking status but only 37% of clinics discuss the benefits of smoking cessation in relation to abnormal cervical smears. There was inaccurate and inconsistent written and verbal advice given on the benefits of cessation and whether women should cut down or stop smoking completely. The majority of staff had not attended standardised training on how to raise the issue of smoking and very few clinics have established referral pathways for smoking cessation support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a neoplasm in the nasal cavity, characterized by its local aggressiveness and tendency to cause malignancy. Despite the frequent recurrence of IP, few studies have reported the effects of situational parameters including smoking on the recurrence rate of IP. This study was performed to evaluate clinical and environmental factors including smoking that can predict neoplasm recurrence after surgery in patients with IP. METHODS This study was conducted retrospectively on 132 patients who were diagnosed with IP between November 1985 and September 2007. The study focused on the risk factors of recurrence, such as smoking behaviors, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), allergic rhinitis (AR), the sites of tumor origin and involvement, neoplasm staging, and the surgical method. The age of the patients ranged from 22 to 85 years, and among the 132 patients, 39 patients were smokers (29.5%), 17 (13.3%) with DM, 31 (24.4%) with HTN, and 11 (9.3%) with AR. RESULTS The recurrence rate showed great disparity between the groups of smokers and nonsmokers: 28.2% of smokers suffered recurrence compared with 10.7% recurrence from the nonsmoker group. The Krouse stage IV group experienced more frequent recurrence than the stage I, II, and III groups. Some patients in Krouse stage III (5/72, 6.9%) and IV (3/3, 100%) groups underwent malignant transformation of IP. Histories of DM, HTN, and AR did not exert a statistically meaningful influence on the recurrence and malignant transformation. CONCLUSION The smoking behavior and tumor with extranasal/sinus extension appear to be associated with recurrence of IP after surgical resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cigarette smoking has been associated with increased human papilloma virus (HPV) detection, its impact on HPV DNA load is unknown. METHODS The study subjects were women who were positive for HPV16 and/or HPV18 at enrollment into the Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance-Low-grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion Triage Study. Assessments of exposure to smoke and sexual behavior were based on self-report. Viral genome copies per nanogram of cellular DNA were measured by multiplex real-time PCR. Linear or logistic regression models were used to assess the relationship between cigarette smoking and baseline viral load. RESULTS Of the 1,050 women (752 with HPV16, 258 with HPV18, and 40 with both HPV16 and HPV18), 452 (43.0%) were current smokers and 101 (9.6%) were former smokers at enrollment. The baseline viral load was statistically significantly greater for current compared with never smokers (P = 0.03 for HPV16; P = 0.02 for HPV18) but not for former smokers. Among current smokers, neither HPV16 nor HPV18 DNA load seemed to vary appreciably by age at smoking initiation, smoking intensity, or smoking duration. The results remained similar when the analysis of smoking-related HPV16 DNA load was restricted to women without detectable cervical abnormality. CONCLUSION Higher baseline HPV16 and HPV18 DNA load was associated with status as a current but not former smoker. A lack of dose-response relationship between cigarette smoking and viral load may indicate a low threshold for the effect of smoking on HPV DNA load.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-DNA adducts in cervix of women infected with carcinogenic human papillomavirus types: an immunohistochemistry study. Mutat Res 2007; 624:114-23. [PMID: 17583755 PMCID: PMC4383290 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrfmmm.2007.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2007] [Revised: 04/20/2007] [Accepted: 04/23/2007] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Among women infected with carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV), there is a two- to five-fold increased risk of cervical precancer and cancer in women who smoke compared to those who do not smoke. Because tobacco smoke contains carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), it was of interest to examine human cervical tissue for PAH-DNA adduct formation. Here, we measured PAH-DNA adduct formation in cervical biopsies collected in follow-up among women who tested positive for carcinogenic HPV at baseline. A semi-quantitative immunohistochemistry (IHC) method using antiserum elicited against DNA modified with r7,t8-dihydroxy-t-9,10-oxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE) was used to measure nuclear PAH-DNA adduct formation. Cultured human cervical keratinocytes exposed to 0, 0.153, or 0.331microM BPDE showed dose-dependent increases in r7,t8,t9-trihydroxy-c-10-(N(2)deoxyguanosyl)-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-benzo[a]pyrene (BPdG) adducts. For BPdG adduct analysis, paraffin-embedded keratinocytes were stained by IHC with analysis of nuclear color intensity by Automated Cellular Imaging System (ACIS) and, in parallel cultures, extracted DNA was assayed by quantitative BPDE-DNA chemiluminescence immunoassay (CIA). For paraffin-embedded samples from carcinogenic HPV-infected women, normal-appearing cervical squamous epithelium suitable for scoring was found in samples from 75 of the 114 individuals, including 29 cases of cervical precancer or cancer and 46 controls. With a lower limit of detection of 20 adducts/10(8) nucleotides, detectable PAH-DNA adduct values ranged from 25 to 191/10(8) nucleotides, with a median of 75/10(8) nucleotides. PAH-DNA adduct values above 150/10(8) nucleotides were found in eight samples, and in three samples adducts were non-detectable. There was no correlation between PAH-DNA adduct formation and either smoking or case status. Therefore, PAH-DNA adduct formation as measured by this methodology did not appear related to the increased risk of cervical precancer and cancer among carcinogenic HPV-infected smokers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the intraepithelial population of Langerhans' cells (LC) in normal cervix epithelium adjacent to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN 3) and correlate to smoking habit. METHODS Cases in this study included conization specimens from 48 women affected by CIN 3. The LC count was performed in areas without histopathologic alteration adjacent to CIN 3. The control group is compound by normal cervix from 46 hysterectomy specimens. The identification of LC was done by immunohistochemical study demonstrating immunoreactivity to S-100 protein. The number of intraepithelial LC was determined using 400x magnification light microscope in 10 high-power fields, and results were expressed in number of cells per square millimeter (LC/mm(2)). RESULTS In the control group, there was lower number of Langerhans' cells in smokers than in non-smokers (P = 0.045). There was lower number of Langerhans' cells in normal areas adjacent to CIN 3 than in normal cervix control group (P = 0.004). There was no significant difference in the number of Langerhans' cells in normal areas of the cervix with CIN 3 between smokers and non-smokers (P = 0.991). The number of cigarettes consumed daily, time of consume, total number of cigarettes consumed showed a reduced LC count, yet was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS It was revealed that smoking reduces the number of intraepithelial Langerhans' cells in the uterine cervix. In women with CIN 3, the LC count was lower, despite the habit of smoking.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Smoking is a potential risk factor for cervical cancer and its immediate precursor, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (CIN3), but few studies have adequately taken into account the possible confounding effect of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. METHODS Women (n = 5,060) with minimally abnormal Papanicolaou smears were enrolled in the ASCUS and LSIL Triage Study, a clinical trial to evaluate management strategies, and were seen every 6 months for the 2-year duration of the study. Cervical specimens were tested for HPV DNA using both Hybrid Capture 2 and PGMY09/11 L1 consensus primer PCR with reverse line blot hybridization for genotyping. Multivariate logistics regression models were used to assess associations [odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI)] between smoking behaviors and rigorously reviewed cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or cancer (> or =CIN3) identified throughout the study (n = 506) in women with oncogenic HPV (n = 3,133). RESULTS Current smoking was only weakly associated with increased HPV infection. Among infected women, current smokers (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.1) and past smokers (OR, 1.7; 95% CI, 1.2-2.4) were more likely to be diagnosed with > or =CIN3 than nonsmokers. Greater smoking intensity (P(Trend) < 0.0005) and duration (P(Trend) < 0.0005) increased the strength of the association, with smoking > or =2 packs/d (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.5-7.5) and smoking for > or =11 years (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.5-2.9) most strongly associated with > or =CIN3 as compared to non-smokers. The effects of intensity and duration seemed additive. CONCLUSIONS Women with oncogenic HPV and minimally abnormal Papanicolaou smears who smoke were up to three times more likely to be diagnosed with > or =CIN3 than nonsmokers. Smoking cessation trials targeting this population might be warranted.

Abstract
AIM To determine the relationship between the density of cervical mucosa Langerhans cells, cervical histology, and HIV viral load. METHODS Eighty-four HIV-infected and 17 women at high risk for HIV had cervical biopsies assessed for squamous intraepithelial lesions and Langerhans cell density. Langerhans cells were identified using the S-100 immunohistochemical stain and were counted manually. Polymerase chain reaction assays were used to detect cervical human papillomavirus (HPV)-DNA. T-cell subsets were determined using immunofluorescent flow cytometry. Plasma HIV RNA levels were measured using a nucleic acid sequence-based amplification technique. The associations between cervical Langerhans cell density, cervical histology, CD4 counts, HIV viral loads, HPV-DNA detection, and smoking status were assessed using multivariate statistical models. RESULTS In multivariate analysis among women infected with HIV, the mean Langerhans cell density per high-powered field was 4.00 among women with no detectable plasma HIV-RNA, and 1.92 among those with detectable HIV-RNA (P = 0.01). The mean cervical Langerhans cell density was increased in women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions compared with those with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and normal/metaplastic histology (3.87 vs 2.11; P = 0.05). Neither HPV-DNA detection, smoking status, nor CD4 count was significantly associated with Langerhans cell density. CONCLUSIONS The decrease in cervical Langerhans cell density in women with detectable HIV-RNA suggests an impaired mucosal immune response to local infections, such as HPV. Conversely, HPV infection resulting in high-grade dysplasia might be associated with an enhanced local immune response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence links active cigarette smoking to cervical neoplasia, but much less is known about the role of passive smoking. Using a prospective cohort design, we examined personal cigarette smoking and household passive smoke exposure in relation to the risk of cervical neoplasia. METHODS Cohorts were established based on data collected on the smoking status of all household members during private censuses of Washington County, Maryland in 1963 (n = 24,792) and 1975 (n = 26,381). Using the Washington County Cancer Registry, the occurrence of cervical neoplasia in the two cohorts was ascertained from 1963-1978 and from 1975-1994. Poisson regression models were fitted to estimate the relative risk of developing cervical neoplasia associated with active and passive smoking in both cohorts. The referent category for all comparisons was never smokers not exposed to passive smoking. RESULTS The adjusted relative risk and 95% confidence limits for passive smoking was 2.1 (1.3, 3.3) in the 1963 cohort and 1.4 (0.8, 2.4) in the 1975 cohort. The adjusted relative risk and 95% confidence limits for current smoking were 2.6 (1.7, 4.1) and 1.7 (1.1, 2.6) in the 1963 and 1975 cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION The associations were in the direction of increased risk for both passive smoking and current active smoking in both the 1963 and 1975 cohorts, but were stronger in the 1963 cohort. The results of this long-term, prospective cohort study corroborate the association between active cigarette smoking and cervical neoplasia and provide evidence that passive smoking is a risk factor for cervical neoplasia.

Abstract
Various histologic features may be used to divide human papillomavirus (HPV)-related lesions of the genital tract into two groups: condylomata and "low-grade" or grade 1 cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN 1) versus "high-grade" or grade 2 and 3 intraepithelial neoplasias. Using in situ hybridization analysis we correlated HPV DNA type with histologic features in 350 biopsies of lesions from the cervix, vulva, and perianal region. HPV DNA was most commonly found in vulvar and perianal condylomata (39/46, 85%), whereas the rate in CIN 1 lesions was 72% (86/120). The rates were 53% (40/76) and 57% (12/21) in CIN 2/3 and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasm (VIN) grades 2 and 3, respectively. The HPV type in all but 2 of the 39 perianal and vulvar condylomata which contained HPV was 6/11. Despite their similar histologic features, the HPV type in only 23 of 86 (27%) CIN 1 cases with detectable HPV was 6/11 compared to 31 of 86 (36%) which contained HPV 16-related DNA and 32 of 86 (37%) which contained HPV 31,-33, or -35-related DNA. The viral DNA in the majority of CIN 2/3 lesions and all of the VIN 2/3 lesions was HPV-16 related; no CIN 2/3 or VIN 2/3 lesion had HPV 6/11-related DNA. It is concluded that although cutaneous genital tract condylomata are highly associated with HPVs of low oncogenic potential (types 6 and 11), these HPV types are not as frequent as the oncogenic HPVs (16, 31, 33, and 35) in CIN 1 lesions. Further, HPV 6/11 appears to be very rarely associated with CIN 2/3 or VIN 2/3 lesions.
