Abstract
Epidemiological link between HPV and SLE is evolving. The possibility of HPV infection-induced molecular mimicry and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was elucidated through detailed in silico analyses. Conserved regions in the structural protein sequences of high-risk HPV types were inferred, and sequence homologies between viral and human peptides were identified to delineate proteins implicated in SLE. B-cell epitopes and MHC-class II binding were compiled using Immune Epitope Database and ProPred II analysis tool. Molecular modeling and molecular dynamics/simulation (MDS) were performed using AutoDock Vina and GROMACS, respectively. Sequence alignment revealed 32 conserved regions, and 27/32 viral peptides showed varying similarities to human peptides, rich in B-cell epitopes with superior accessibility, high hydrophilicity, antigenicity and disposition to bind many class-II HLA alleles. Molecular docking of 13 viral peptides homologous (100%) to human peptides implicated in SLE showed that VIR-PEP1 (QLFNKPYWL) and VIR-PEP2 (DTYRFVTS) exhibited higher binding affinities than corresponding human peptides to SLE predisposing HLA-DRB1 allele. MDS of these peptides showed that the viral peptides had superior folding, compactness, and a higher number of hydrogen bonds than human peptides throughout the simulation period. SASA analysis revealed that the VIR-PEP1&2 fluctuated less frequently than corresponding human peptides. MM-PBSA revealed that the VIR-PEP2 complex exhibited higher binding energy than the human peptide complex. This suggests that highly conserved structural peptides of high-risk HPV types homologous to human peptides could compete and bind avidly to the HLA allele associated with SLE and predispose HPV-infected individuals to SLE through molecular mimicry.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are at an elevated risk for certain cancers compared to the population at large. Cancers seen at higher rates in the SLE population include hematologic malignancies, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and cancers of the lung and thyroid. SLE patients also have a decreased risk for certain malignancies, such as breast cancer, melanoma, and prostate cancer. We review the literature on risk factors for malignancy in patients with SLE and discuss the exogenous and innate factors that are thought to contribute to the unique pattern of cancer risk observed in this patient population. These risk factors are important for providers of SLE patients to understand in order to maintain high clinical suspicion and detect malignancy as soon as possible. Further research is needed to determine the most effective guidelines on counseling patients on cancer screening and prevention.

Human Papilloma Virus Vaccination in Patients with Rheumatic Diseases in France: A Study of Vaccination Coverage and Drivers of Vaccination. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144137. [PMID: 35887899 PMCID: PMC9317620 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144137] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: To describe human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination practices in adolescent girls with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and to identify barriers to and motivators for vaccination. Methods: Cross-sectional, multicenter study on girls aged 9 to 19 years and their accompanying adults. The measurement criteria were the proportion of girls who were vaccinated against HPV, compliance with the vaccination schedule, factors associated with vaccination, and reasons for vaccination and non-vaccination through a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Seventy-one patients (16 with SLE and 55 with JIA) were included with a mean age of 13 years old (rank 11−18). According to parental questioning, 39% of patients were vaccinated against HPV or in progress (44% and 38% of SLE and JIA, respectively). This rate was 82% for the 22 patients ≥ 15 years of age. The vaccine was administered as often by a general practitioner (39%) as by a hospital pediatrician (also 39%). Two factors were significantly associated with vaccination: Older age (OR 53.68, 95% CI 5.85−429.29, p < 0.001) and previous hepatitis B vaccination (OR 4.97, 95% CI 1.03−24.01, p = 0.040). Recommendation of the vaccine by a health professional and fear of HPV-related diseases were the main facilitators. Lack of knowledge about the vaccine, lack of recommendation by a health professional, and fear of vaccine side effects were the main barriers. Conclusions: HPV vaccination coverage remains insufficient among patients with autoimmune disease. Education and awareness of health professionals about HPV infections are crucial elements in vaccine acceptance.

Abstract
Simple Summary Vulvar cancer incidence data were sought from official sources (WHO Cancer Incidence in Five Continents) and studies reporting comparable data. With respect to risk factors, a systematic PubMed search of articles published since 1980 identified 69 original cohort and case-control studies. Information was extracted using a PRISMA predesigned data collection form. Recent advances have provided further evidence in support of the carcinogenic model centred on human papillomavirus infection with different defects of the immune function. Conversely, the model centred on the role of vulvar lichen sclerosus and the often-associated differentiated vulva intraepithelial neoplasia has continued to be understudied. Abstract The aim of this review was an update of vulvar cancer incidence rates and trends and of all known and putative risk factors for the disease. The most recent incidence data were sought from official sources (WHO Cancer Incidence in Five Continents). To obtain an estimate of time trends in some areas, we compared data from Cancer Incidence in Five Continents with the few available studies that measured incidence using comparable methods. With respect to risk factors, a systematic PubMed search identified 1585 relevant articles published between 1980 and 2021. Abstracts and full texts were screened. Sixty-nine eligible original cohort and case-control studies were selected. Information was extracted using a PRISMA predesigned form. Nineteen risk factors, or risk factor categories, were investigated by two or more original studies. Solitary, unreplicated studies addressed the putative role of eight more factors. Recent advances have provided further evidence supporting the carcinogenic model centred on human papillomavirus infection with different defects of the immune function. Conversely, the model centred on the role of vulvar lichen sclerosus and the often associated differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia has continued to be epidemiologically understudied. More research on the association between these two conditions and vulvar cancer is a priority.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current French recommendations for the management of cervical lesions related to human papilloma virus (HPV) infection are limited to general population. Patients who are immunocompromised appear to be at increased risk of induced HPV lesions. The objective of this review is to summarize the various existing data about risk of induced HPV lesions in immunocompromised patients to specify the management. METHODS The Medline database was searched through the Pubmed portal, as well as the recommendations of various international learned societies. RESULTS Situations with an increased risk are regardless of treatment: Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, transplants, lupus. Patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and rheumatoid arthritis are at increased risk only when immunosuppressive therapy is required. Screening for dysplasic intraepithelial lesions in HIV+ patients should be more sustained than in the general population. Due to lack of data, recommendations for other conditions have been extrapolated from the management of HIV+ patients. HPV vaccination is effective in these populations, particularly at times when the immune system is the most effective. DISCUSSION Identified immunocompromised populations are at higher risk of induced HPV lesions due to an incomplete immune response and should be screened on a sustained basis. In addition, HPV vaccination should be encouraged.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to analyse the frequency of premature rupture of membranes (PROMs) among 190 women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) followed up at the Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto from 2011 to 2018 and to review the literature on PROM in patients with SLE. METHODS A cohort study of SLE patients was conducted by analysing the following variables: sociodemographic characteristics, clinical manifestations of lupus, modified disease activity index for pregnancy, drugs used during pregnancy, intercurrent maternal infections and obstetric outcomes. Additionally, seven electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Scielo, Scielo Brazil, Virtual Health Library Regional Portal and Google Scholar) were systematically searched. The search was updated on 3 February 2020. RESULTS Infections (relative risk (RR): 3.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.5-6.7, p = .001), history of serositis (RR: 2.59, 95% CI: 1.31-5.11, p = .006) and anti-RNP positivity (RR: 3.08, 95% CI: 1.39-6.78, p = .005) were associated risk factors for PROM, while anti-RNP positivity (RR: 3.37, 95% CI: 1.35-8.40; p = .009) were associated with premature PROM (PPROM). The prevalence of PROM and PPROM was 28.7% and 12.9%, respectively. In the systematic review, the prevalence of PROM and PPROM was 2.7%-35% (I2 = 87.62%) and 2.8%-20% (I2 = 79.56%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS PROM, both at term and preterm, occurs more frequently in women with lupus than in the general population. A history of serositis, anti-RN, infections and immunosuppression during pregnancy may increase the susceptibility to PROM. The systematic review did not find any study with the main objective of evaluating PROM/PPROM in women with lupus.

Abstract
Recently, the importance of comorbid infections in rheumatology has increased significantly, which have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality, especially in immuno-inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IIRD). In this regard, vaccination is becoming increasingly important in the prevention of infections in these patients. This review presents an updated version of the recommendations for vaccination of adult patients with IIRD, prepared by experts of the European Union League against Rheumatism (EULAR). There is a low (suboptimal) vaccination coverage of these patients, partly due to the low frequency of referral by doctors. The role of the rheumatology team in solving the problems associated with immunization of patients with IIRD is emphasized, as well as the importance of joint decision-making taking into account the needs and preferences of patients. The issues concerning the use of vaccines against influenza, pneumococcal infection, hepatitis B,

Abstract
Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most widespread sexually transmitted diseases and the main risk factor for cervical cancer. Underlying conditions, like immunosuppression, favour the persistence and the progression of cervical lesions to an aggressive form. Patients with autoimmune diseases, and particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), may be prone to HPV infection and cervical dysplasia. However, the risk factors for developing persistent HPV-related infection, dysplasia and cancer are not identified for patients with SLE. The existence of an increased risk of cervical cancer compared to the general population remains debated. Thus, HPV vaccine is recommended for SLE patients as well as for the general population. Vaccine coverage of SLE patients is not known in France. Adolescents with chronic health condition seem to be insufficiently vaccinated regarding their vulnerability to infectious diseases. Strategies are required to decrease HPV vaccination barriers.

Abstract
Introduction The systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a comparatively rare chronic autoimmune disease in women of reproductive age, the pathogenesis and therapy of which also conditions the increased risk of development of malignant diseases. Case report We present a clinical case of a 38-year-old female patient with lupus and stage 1B1 adenocarcinoma of uterine cervix, in which robotic radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection has been successfully performed. The strict primary and secondary prophylaxis for pathological changes of uterine cervix are of essential significance for patients with lupus. Conclusions SLE is a chronic autoimmune disease, which is frequently treated with immunosuppressors, and affects most often women in reproductive age. The combination of these conditions is associated with higher risk of infecting with HPV and occurrence of pre-cancer and cancer of uterine cervix. Based on these reasons women with SLE must undergo strict screening follow-up and vaccination against high-risk strains of HPV. In the cases of cancer of uterine cervix diagnosed in initial stage, the striving towards minimal traumatism and better quality of life of patient - and, at the same time, towards achievement of optimal radicality - directs to the choice of minimally invasive operative method such as the robotic surgery.

Abstract
Precision medicine approaches based on pharmacogenomics are now being successfully implemented to enable physicians to predict more efficient treatments and prevention strategies for a given disease based on the genetic background of the patient. This approach has already been proposed for vaccines, but research is lagging behind the needs of society, and precision medicine is far from being implemented here. While vaccinomics concerns the effectiveness of vaccines, adversomics concerns their side effects. This area has great potential to address public concerns about vaccine safety and to promote increased public confidence, higher vaccination rates, and fewer serious adverse events in genetically predisposed individuals. The aim here is to explore the contemporary scientific literature related to the vaccinomic and adversomic aspects of the three most-controversial vaccines: those against hepatitis B, against measles, mumps, and rubella, and against human Papilloma virus. We provide detailed information on the genes that encode human leukocyte antigen, cytokines and their receptors, and transcription factors and regulators associated with the efficacy and safety of the Hepatitis B and Measles, Mumps and Rubella virus vaccines. We also investigate the future prospects of vaccinomics and adversomics of a COVID-19 vaccine, which might represent the fastest development of a vaccine ever.

Abstract
AIM Antiretrovirals of the protease inhibitor (PI) class tend to achieve low concentrations in biological fluids. This study aimed to analyze possible changes in the vaginal microbiome and frequency of cervical human papillomavirus (HPV)-DNA and HPV-related lesions associated with the use of PI in antiretroviral therapy (ART). METHODS Eighty-eight women with human immunodeficiency virus infection were divided in two groups: ART with PI and without PI. All the participants underwent anamnesis with demographic data collection. The total DNA, used as the template in the polymerase chain reaction-based assays for the detection of HPV-DNA, was extracted from cervical samples during cervical cytopathology. RESULTS There were no differences between the groups with respect to HPV-related lesions. Despite the higher prevalence of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in the PI group (33.96% vs 17.14%), the difference was insignificant when considering all women (P = 0.066). When women with a detectable viral load and a CD4+ T-cell count <200 were excluded in both groups, BV was found to be more prevalent in the PI group (odds ratio, 3.349; 95% confidence interval, 1.113-11.41, P = 0.049). No associations were found between BV and age, condom use, cervical HPV, time with current ART regimen, unprotected receptive anal intercourse and cervical HPV-related lesions. CONCLUSION The use of PI did not alter the frequencies of HPV-DNA and HPV-related lesions. However, an increased frequency of BV was found in women using PI after excluding women with a detectable viral load and a CD4+ T-cell count of <200.

Abstract
Objectives The aims of this study were to update the evidence on the incidence and prevalence rates of vaccine preventable infections (VPI) in patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) and compare the data to the general population when available. Methods A literature search was performed using Medline, Embase and Cochrane library (October 2009 to August 2018). The primary outcome was the incidence or prevalence of VPI in the adult AIIRD population. Meta-analysis was performed when appropriate. Results Sixty-three publications out of 3876 identified records met the inclusion criteria: influenza (n=4), pneumococcal disease (n=7), hepatitis B (n=10), herpes zoster (HZ) (n=29), human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (n=13). An increased incidence of influenza and pneumococcal disease was reported in patients with AIIRD. HZ infection-pooled incidence rate ratio (IRR) was 2.9 (95% CI 2.4 to 3.3) in patients with AIIRD versus general population. Among AIIRD, inflammatory myositis conferred the highest incidence rate (IR) of HZ (pooled IRR 5.1, 95% CI 4.3 to 5.9), followed by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (pooled IRR 4.0, 95% CI 2.3 to 5.7) and rheumatoid arthritis (pooled IRR 2.3, 95% CI 2.1 to 2.6). HPV infection-pooled prevalence ratio was 1.6, 95% CI 0.7 to 3.4 versus general population, based on studies mainly conducted in the SLE population in Latin America and Asia. Pooled prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B core antibody in patients with AIIRD was similar to the general population, 3%, 95% CI 1% to 5% and 15%, 95% CI 7% to 26%, respectively. Conclusion Current evidence shows an increased risk of VPI in patients with AIIRD, emphasising that prevention of infections is essential in these patients.

Abstract
Aim To present a systematic literature review (SLR) on efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of vaccination in adult patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD), aiming to provide a basis for updating the EULAR evidence-based recommendations. Methods An SLR was performed according to the standard operating procedures for EULAR-endorsed recommendations. Outcome was determined by efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of vaccination in adult patients with AIIRD, including those receiving immunomodulating therapy. Furthermore, a search was performed on the effect of vaccinating household members of patients with AIIRD on the occurrence of vaccine-preventable infections in patients and their household members (including newborns). The literature search was performed using Medline, Embase and the Cochrane Library (October 2009 to August 2018). Results While most investigated vaccines were efficacious and/or immunogenic in patients with AIIRD, some were less efficacious than in healthy control subjects, and/or in patients receiving immunosuppressive agents. Adverse events of vaccination were generally mild and the rates were comparable to those in healthy persons. Vaccination did not seem to lead to an increase in activity of the underlying AIIRD, but insufficient power of most studies precluded arriving at definite conclusions. The number of studies investigating clinical efficacy of vaccination is still limited. No studies on the effect of vaccinating household members of patients with AIIRD were retrieved. Conclusion Evidence on efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of vaccination in patients with AIIRD was systematically reviewed to provide a basis for updated recommendations.

Abstract
To update the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for vaccination in adult patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIIRD) published in 2011. Four systematic literature reviews were performed regarding the incidence/prevalence of vaccine-preventable infections among patients with AIIRD; efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of vaccines; effect of anti-rheumatic drugs on the response to vaccines; effect of vaccination of household of AIIRDs patients. Subsequently, recommendations were formulated based on the evidence and expert opinion. The updated recommendations comprise six overarching principles and nine recommendations. The former address the need for an annual vaccination status assessment, shared decision-making and timing of vaccination, favouring vaccination during quiescent disease, preferably prior to the initiation of immunosuppression. Non-live vaccines can be safely provided to AIIRD patients regardless of underlying therapy, whereas live-attenuated vaccines may be considered with caution. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccination should be strongly considered for the majority of patients with AIIRD. Tetanus toxoid and human papilloma virus vaccination should be provided to AIIRD patients as recommended for the general population. Hepatitis A, hepatitis B and herpes zoster vaccination should be administered to AIIRD patients at risk. Immunocompetent household members of patients with AIIRD should receive vaccines according to national guidelines, except for the oral poliomyelitis vaccine. Live-attenuated vaccines should be avoided during the first 6 months of life in newborns of mothers treated with biologics during the second half of pregnancy. These 2019 EULAR recommendations provide an up-to-date guidance on the management of vaccinations in patients with AIIRD.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between HPV and autoimmune disorders. We retrospectively evaluated 62 women who had HPV-DNA positivity in terms of autoimmune disorders (autoimmune antibody positivity, chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases). The patients were divided into two groups according to autoimmune disorder positivity (autoimmune positive (n = 30), autoimmune negative (n = 32)) and compared with each other in terms of single and multiple HPV-DNA types, high and low-risk HPV-DNA types, and Pap smear findings. We determined that 48.4% of the HPV-DNA positive patients had autoimmune disorders. We found that 15 of 62 (24.2%) women had more than one type of HPV and HPV type 16 was the dominant type in this study (58.2%). A total of 27.4% of HPV-DNA positive patients had abnormal cytological findings. There was no statistically significant difference between autoimmune groups in terms of the presence of high-risk HPV types, multiple HPV types and abnormal cytological findings (P = 0.531, P = 0.558 and P = 0.234, respectively). The prevalence of autoimmune disorders was high among HPV-DNA positive women. On the other hand, the rate of high-risk HPV type positivity, multiple HPV infections and cytopathological findings were similar between the autoimmune positive and negative groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) have been found in several types of cancer although the meaning of its presence is not completely known. AIM To study the prevalence of ANA in patients with cervical intraepithelial lesion and invasive cervical cancer. METHODS A total of 205 women who underwent screening for cervical cancer or treatment at the Erasto Gaertner Cancer Hospital in Curitiba - Brazil, were enrolled in the study. Based on their latest cervical colposcopy-guided biopsy results, they were divided into four groups: CIN-I: 19.4%; CIN-II: 24.0%; CIN-III: 24.0%; and invasive cancer: 32.4%. As control were studied 68 healthy controls. ANA was searched by immunofluorescence in Hep-2 cells evaluating the pattern and titer. RESULTS Controls had 4/68 (5.8%) of ANA positivity and patients with CIN and invasive cancer had 15.1% (p = 0.001). Patients with CIN-I and CIN-II had the same prevalence of ANA as controls (p = 1.0 and p = 0.11 respectively), but not those with CIN-III (p = 0.03) and invasive cancer (p = 0.05). The most common ANA immunofluorescence pattern was fine speckled pattern (38.7%) and fine dense speckled pattern (38.7%); the mean titer was 1:160. CONCLUSION ANA is more common in invasive cervical lesions than in controls or non invasive lesions. To understand the meaning of this finding more studies are needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION If not properly treated, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection may evolve from a common sexually transmitted disease to genital warts and cervical cancer. Various prophylactic HPV vaccines (HPVv), approved to reduce the incidence of the infection, have been found to be effective and safe; however, accounts of post-vaccination autoimmune phenomena, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), have been reported in genetically susceptible individuals. AREAS COVERED Infectious agents play a role in breaking the immunologic tolerance to self-antigens, resulting in autoimmune events. There is molecular evidence supporting the involvement of HPV in SLE, with a high prevalence of L1 HPV peptide homology to proteins being associated with SLE. Therefore, approaches in vaccine preparations aiming to prevent adverse immune cross-reactivity are sought. Performing a broad search of the literature, we review the association between SLE, HPV, and HPVv, with a focus on the mechanisms of molecular mimicry and cross-reactivity, and the approaches currently being elaborated towards preventing such phenomena. EXPERT COMMENTARY The advantages of using low-similarity peptide antigens may be two-fold, abolishing the risk of cross-reactivity and eliminating the vaccine adjuvantation procedure. Vaccines based on pathogen unique sequences would provide effective vaccine preparation while curbing the risk for the human host.

Abstract
Since the early 1800s vaccines have saved numerous lives by preventing lethal infections. However, during the past two decades, there has been growing awareness of possible adverse events associated with vaccinations, cultivating heated debates and leading to significant fluctuations in vaccination rates. It is therefore pertinent for the scientific community to seriously address public concern of adverse effects of vaccines to regain public trust in these important medical interventions. Such adverse reactions to vaccines may be viewed as a result of the interaction between susceptibility of the vaccinated subject and various vaccine components. Among the implicated mechanisms for these reactions is molecular mimicry. Molecular mimicry refers to a significant similarity between certain pathogenic elements contained in the vaccine and specific human proteins. This similarity may lead to immune crossreactivity, wherein the reaction of the immune system towards the pathogenic antigens may harm the similar human proteins, essentially causing autoimmune disease. In this review, we address the concept of molecular mimicry and its application in explaining post vaccination autoimmune phenomena. We further review the principal examples of the influenza, hepatitis B, and human papilloma virus vaccines, all suspected to induce autoimmunity via molecular mimicry. Finally, we refer to possible implications on the potential future development of better, safer vaccines.

Abstract
Autoimmune conditions reflect dysregulation of the immune system; this may be of clinical significance in the development of several malignancies. Previous studies show an association between systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the development of malignancies; however, their investigations into the development of specific malignancies are inconsistent, and their external validity may be questionable. The main objective of this study is to investigate the association between the presence of SLE and various malignancies, in a large-scale population-based study. Data for this study was collected from Clalit Health Services, the largest state-mandated health service organization in Israel. All adult members diagnosed with SLE were included (n = 5018) and their age and sex-matched controls (n = 25,090), creating a cross-sectional population-based study. Medical records of all subjects were analyzed for documentation of malignancies. Logistic regression models were built separately for each malignant condition, controlling for age, gender, BMI, smoking, and socioeconomic status. Diagnosis of malignancy (of any type) was more prevalent in the SLE population (odds ratio [OR] 3.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.02-3.72). SLE diagnosis was also found to be independently associated with higher proportions of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (OR 3.02, 95% CI 2.72-3.33), Hodgkin lymphoma (OR 2.43, 95% CI 1.88-2.99), multiple myeloma (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.85-3.28), cervix uteri malignancies (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.10-2.20), and genital organ malignancies (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.42-3.22), after adjustment for confounding variables. The presence of an SLE diagnosis was found to be independently associated with higher proportions of malignancies, particularly hematologic malignancies. These findings should be considered while treating SLE patients, and possibly supplement their screening routine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2, 2-3, 3, adenocarcinoma in situ, or cancer (CIN 2 or worse) among women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- and non-HIV-associated immunosuppression. METHODS We performed a case-control study of 20,146 women with incident CIN 2 or worse and 5:1 age-matched, incidence-density selected women in a control group (n=100,144) enrolled in an integrated health care system from 1996 to 2014. Adjusted rate ratios (RRs) from conditional logistic regression were obtained for HIV status (stratified by CD4 T-cells), solid organ transplant history, and immunosuppressive medication use. RESULTS Risk of CIN 2 or worse was increased among women with HIV (n=36 women in the case group and 79 women in the control group; adjusted RR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3-3.0) compared with those without HIV and in solid organ transplant recipients (n=51 women in the case group and 68 women in the control group; RR 3.3, 95% CI 2.3-4.8) compared with women without a prior transplant. The highest risks were among women with HIV and less than 200 CD4 T-cells/microliter (n=9 women in the case group and eight women in the control group; RR 5.6, 95% CI 2.1-14.7) compared with those without HIV and in solid organ transplant recipients prescribed three or greater immunosuppressive medication classes (n=32 women in the case group and 33 women in the control group; RR 4.1, 95% CI 2.5-6.8) compared with women without a prior transplant and zero medication classes. No increased risks were observed for women with HIV and 500 or greater CD4 T-cells/microliter (n=9 women in the case group and 43 women in the control group; RR 0.8, 95% CI 0.4-1.7) compared with those without HIV or women without prior solid organ transplantation prescribed two or fewer immunosuppressive medication classes (n=1,262 women in the case group and 6,100 women in the control group; RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.89-1.01) compared with women without and a prior transplant and zero medication classes. CONCLUSION Risk of CIN 2 or worse is increased in women with a prior solid organ transplant or who have HIV and CD4 cells/microliter less than 500 but not in women with HIV and higher CD4 levels or in women without a prior solid organ transplant but who are prescribed only one or two immunosuppressive medication classes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cervical cytology screening has been successful in reducing deaths from cervical cancer. We sought to determine risk factors for abnormal Pap test results in women undergoing kidney transplant evaluation. MATERILAS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined women undergoing kidney transplant evaluations from 2008 to 2011. Patients were stratified based on normal cytology and atypical/malignant cytology. RESULTS Of 404 patients, 293 patients (72.5%) had normal cytologic findings, whereas 111 (27.5%) had abnormal findings. On univariate logistic regression analyses, patients who had chronic kidney disease with an autoimmune cause (odds ratio = 2.71 [95% confidence interval, 1.41-5.19]; P = .003), previous renal transplants (odds ratio = 2.64 [95% confidence interval, 1.20-5.82], P = .016), or age ≤ 50 years (odds ratio = 1.68 [95% confidence interval, 1.08-2.61], P = .022) were more likely to have abnormal findings. Patients with normal and abnormal findings had similar rates of dialysis use. On multivariate logistic regression, patients who had chronic kidney disease with autoimmune causes (odds ratio = 2.48 [95% confidence interval, 1.26-4.88]; P = .008) and who had previous renal transplants (odds ratio = 2.67 [95% confidence interval, 1.20-5.95]; P = .017) were more likely to have abnormal findings. CONCLUSIONS Previous kidney transplant, autoimmune disease, and age ≤ 50 years were associated with abnormalities on cervical cancer screening in our female group of patients. Patients with these characteristics may benefit more from routine cervical cancer screening than other patients evaluated for kidney transplant.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adolescents with chronic medical conditions (CMCs) are at increased risk of vaccine-preventable infections. Little is known about their vaccine uptake. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 3,989 adolescents aged 11-17 years receiving care at academically affiliated pediatric clinics between August 2011 and June 2013. Data were abstracted from the medical center's electronic health record and immunization registry in 2014. Vaccination coverage, timeliness, and missed opportunities were evaluated and analyzed in 2015-2016. RESULTS Adolescents with CMCs had lower human papillomavirus vaccination initiation than those without CMCs (81.3% vs 85.0%), although this difference was only observed in stratified analysis among males (adjusted relative risk=0.90, 95% CI=0.85, 0.96), aged 13-17 years (adjusted relative risk=0.94, 95% CI=0.91, 0.98), and those with more primary care visits (adjusted relative risk=0.94, 95% CI=0.91, 0.98). Adolescents with CMCs had greater influenza vaccination coverage and timeliness than those without CMCs (2011-2012 season: 66.9% vs 50.1%; adjusted hazards ratio=1.27, 95% CI=1.15, 1.40; 2012-2013 season: 73.8% vs 64.5%; adjusted hazards ratio=1.20, 95% CI=1.10, 1.31). Only 32.1% and 18.2% of eligible adolescents had received pneumococcal polysaccharide and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, respectively. Missed opportunities were higher among adolescents with versus without CMCs for human papillomavirus vaccination initiation (4.2 vs 2.7, p<0.001), meningococcal vaccination (4.0 vs 2.9, p<0.001), and influenza vaccination (2011-2012 season: 2.1 vs 1.7, p<0.001; 2012-2013 season: 2.0 vs 1.6, p<0.001). Missed opportunities for pneumococcal vaccination were common. CONCLUSIONS Pockets of undervaccination and missed opportunities exist among adolescents with CMCs. Greater, more timely influenza vaccination suggests that optimal vaccination of high-risk adolescents is possible.

Text message reminders for vaccination of adolescents with chronic medical conditions: A randomized clinical trial. Vaccine 2017; 35:4554-4560. [PMID: 28736201 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2017.07.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2017] [Revised: 07/06/2017] [Accepted: 07/07/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many adolescents with chronic medical conditions (CMCs) are at risk of vaccine-preventable infection, yet are frequently under-vaccinated. Text message reminders, particularly those with embedded educational information, have been shown to increase general pediatric vaccination. Their use has not been studied specifically among adolescents with CMCs. METHODS Eligible parents of adolescents with CMCs receiving care at one of 4 academically-affiliated pediatric clinics and requiring human papillomavirus (first dose), influenza, and/or pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines were randomized in 4 consecutive cohorts to receive text message vaccine reminders with or without embedded educational information ("educational" vs. "plain" arm, respectively). Educational reminders, including one interactive message, addressed infection risk, vaccine safety/efficacy, and physician recommendations. Up to 5 weekly and 2 booster reminders were sent (October 2014-January 2015). Receipt of any needed vaccine and missed vaccination opportunities by 4, 12, and 24weeks after the initial reminder were compared between arms. RESULTS Of randomized parents (n=295), 175 (59.3%) were Spanish-speaking; most had adolescents with CMCs who were 13-17years (n=229; 77.6%) and publically insured (n=272; 92.5%). Baseline demographics and parental vaccine beliefs were similar between arms. More adolescents in the plain vs. educational reminder arm received any needed vaccine by 4weeks (31.9% vs. 22.7%, adjusted relative risk [aRR] 1.47, 95% CI 1.01-2.14), but not by 12 or 24weeks. Plain reminders were noted in post hoc analyses to have a greater effect than educational reminders in certain sub-populations, including 11-12year-olds and those sent the initial reminder in early fall. Fewer adolescents in the plain vs. educational reminder arm had a missed vaccination opportunity by 4weeks (10.9% vs. 41.3%; aRR 0.21, 95% CI 0.07-0.60), but not by 12 or 24weeks. CONCLUSION Plain text message vaccine reminders appear to have a positive effect compared to educational ones in the short-term and for certain families.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production, complement activation, and immune complex deposition. It predominantly affects young and middle-aged women. While improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of SLE have altered prognosis, morbidity and mortality rates remain higher than the general population. In addition to renal injury, cardiovascular disease, and infection, malignancy is known to be a significant cause of death in this population. There is increasing evidence to suggest that patients with SLE have a slightly higher overall risk of malignancy. The risk of malignancy in SLE is of considerable interest because the immune and genetic pathways underlying the pathogenesis of SLE and the immunosuppressant drugs (ISDs) used in its management may mediate this altered risk. Our current understanding of these and other risk factors and the implications for treating SLE and screening for malignancy is still evolving. This review summarizes the association between SLE and malignancy. The first section discusses the risk of overall and site-specific malignancies in both adult- and pediatric-onset SLE. Next, we evaluate the risk factors and possible mechanisms underlying the link between malignancy and SLE, including the use of ISDs, presence of certain SLE-related autoantibodies, chronic immune dysregulation, environmental factors, and shared genetic susceptibility. Finally, we review guidelines regarding cancer screening and vaccination for human papilloma virus.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Many adolescents with chronic medical conditions (CMCs) are at risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, associated complications, and underimmunization and often identify a pediatric subspecialist as their main provider. This study aimed to assess the HPV-related understanding, beliefs, and practices of pediatric subspecialists, which are largely unknown. DESIGN AND SETTING National cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS Pediatric endocrinologists, hematologist/oncologists, pulmonologists, and rheumatologists identified using the American Medical Association Physician Masterfile (n = 418). INTERVENTIONS Subspecialists who care for adolescents with CMCs in the outpatient setting were recruited to complete a Web-based survey on their HPV-related knowledge, attitudes, comfort, and practices. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES HPV vaccination recommendation. RESULTS Over half of respondents (50.4%; n = 196/389) reported sometimes or always recommending HPV vaccination to adolescent patients with CMCs. Factors positively associated with recommendation included hematology/oncology (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.86-11.81) or rheumatology (AOR, 6.55; 95% CI, 1.67-25.74) specialization, seeing more adolescent patients with CMCs (AOR, 1.01; 95% CI, 1.00-1.02), and sometimes or always discussing sexual health (AOR, 2.53; 95% CI, 1.05-6.08) or checking vaccine status (AOR, 3.83; 95% CI, 1.59-9.20) with these patients. Those who thought it was important, but were uncomfortable discussing sexual health when recommending HPV vaccination (AOR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.12-0.70) or who reported insufficient HPV vaccine information (AOR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.23-0.88) or lack of primary-subspecialty care provider communication (AOR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.16-0.93) as barriers to HPV vaccination were less likely to recommend HPV vaccination. CONCLUSION This study revealed that many subspecialists fail to recommend HPV vaccination to adolescents with CMCs and highlights potential targets for future interventions.

Abstract
Objectives Our objective was to study the incidence, persistence and clearance of human papillomavirus infection in systemic lupus erythematosus women and assess risk factors for persistence of human papillomavirus infection. Methods We carried out a prospective, observational cohort study of 127 systemic lupus erythematosus women. Patients were evaluated at baseline and at three years. Traditional and systemic lupus erythematosus women-related disease risk factors were collected. Gynaecological evaluations and cervical cytology screening were made. Human papillomavirus detection and genotyping were made by polymerase chain reaction and linear array. Results The cumulative prevalence of human papillomavirus infection increased from 22.8% at baseline to 33.8% at three years; p = < 0.001: 20.1% of patients experienced 43 incident infections. The risk of any human papillomavirus infection was 10.1 per 1000 patient-months. At three years, 47 (88.6%) prevalent infections were cleared. Independent risk factors associated with incident human papillomavirus infection included more lifetime sexual partners (odds ratio = 1.8, 95% confidence interval = 1.11-3.0) and cumulative cyclophosphamide dose (odds ratio = 3.9, 95% confidence interval = 1.2-12.8). Conclusions In systemic lupus erythematosus women, the cumulative prevalence of human papillomavirus infection, including high risk-human papillomavirus and multiple human papillomavirus infections, may increase over time. Most persistent infections were low risk-human papillomavirus. The number of lifetime sexual partners and the cumulative cyclophosphamide dose were independently associated with incident human papillomavirus infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate potential associations of four substitutions in NAT2 gene and of acetylator phenotype of NAT2 with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and clinical phenotypes. METHODS Molecular analysis of 481C>T, 590G>A, 857G>A, and 191G>A substitutions in the NAT2 gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique, from DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples obtained from patients with SLE (n=91) and controls (n=97). RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The 857GA genotype was more prevalent among nonwhite SLE patients (OR=4.01, 95% CI=1.18-13.59). The 481T allele showed a positive association with hematological disorders that involve autoimmune mechanisms, specifically autoimmune hemolytic anemia or autoimmune thrombocytopenia (OR=1.97; 95% CI=1.01-3.81).

Abstract
Introduction. Immunosuppressant and steroid therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increases the risk of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, one of which is giant condyloma acuminata (GCA). To our knowledge, there is no report evaluating the correlation between immunosuppressive and steroid therapy in patients with SLE and the prevalence of GCA. Case Report. A 42-year-old female was diagnosed with SLE a year ago and has been treated with steroids and immunosuppressive drugs. In the last few months she presented GCA involving the genital area recurring almost every two months. Type 6 and 11 HPVs were identified in vulva, vagina, and cervix. Methods. PubMed, EBSCO, and Cochrane Library literature were searched from inception to July 2015. Authors screened all titles and abstracts and read full text article, and two case-control studies were found relevant. Results. SLE patients in both studies were under immunosuppressive and steroid therapy. Condyloma acuminata was diagnosed at 108 months (latest) and 1 month (earliest) after SLE. Type 6, 11, 16, 42, and oncogenic group of HPV were identified. Conclusions. GCA is a type of HPV infection seldom observed in SLE patients. Therefore, their correlation is still unclear. Period of time since SLE was diagnosed and GCA varies from months to years. A more thorough physical and laboratory examination leading to HPV and other infectious disease is recommended.

Abstract
Background: Although the interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, associations between IL1 gene cluster polymorphisms and the disease remains unclear. Aims: To investigate the importance of IL1B-511C>T (rs16944), IL1B +3954C>T (rs1143634), and IL1RN intron 2 variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) (rs2234663) polymorphisms, individually or in combination, as the risk factors of periodontitis in a Southeastern Brazilian population with a high degree of miscegenation. Subjects and Methods: A total of 145 individuals, with aggressive (aggressive periodontitis [AgP], n = 43) and chronic (chronic periodontitis [CP], n = 52) periodontitis, and controls (n = 50) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (IL1RN intron 2 VNTR) or PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) (IL1B-511 C>T and IL1B + 3954C>T) techniques. Statistical Analysis: The independent t-test, Chi-square, and Fisher's exact tests were used. The SNPStats program was used for haplotype estimation and multiplicative interaction analyses. Results: The IL1B +3954T allele represented risk for CP (odds ratio [OR] = 2.84), particularly in smokers (OR = 4.43) and females (OR = 6.00). The minor alleles IL1RN*2 and *3 increased the risk of AgP (OR = 2.18), especially the IL1RN*2*2 genotype among white Brazilians (OR = 7.80). Individuals with the combinations of the IL1B + 3954T and IL1RN*2 or *3-containing genotypes were at increased risk of developing CP (OR = 4.50). Considering the three polymorphisms (rs16944, rs1143634, and rs2234663), the haplotypes TC2 and CT1 represented risk for AgP (OR = 3.41) and CP (OR = 6.39), respectively. Conclusions: Our data suggest that the IL1B +3954C>T and IL1RN intron 2 VNTR polymorphisms are potential candidates for genetic biomarkers of periodontitis, particularly in specific groups of individuals.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoimmune disease (AIID) that can develop after exposure to infectious agents. Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has been reported to induce or exacerbate AIIDs, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). No guidelines are available for the management of genital warts in AOSD. Case report and literature review. We report a patient who was diagnosed AOSD in the setting of refractory and recurrent genital HPV infection, demonstrating a possible link between HPV infection and AOSD. In addition, we also discuss the management of genital warts in patients with AOSD. To the best of our knowledge, no previous cases of AOSD with genital HPV infection have been reported in literature. We then conclude that the patient AOSD may be triggered by primary HPV infection. Larger number of patient samples is needed to confirm whether HPV could trigger AOSD.

Abstract
In the wake of the Portuguese vaccination program 50th anniversary it seems appropriate to review vaccination in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. Controversial issues as regards the association between autoimmune diseases, infections, and vaccines are discussed as well as vaccine safety and efficacy issues as regards chronic immunosuppressant (IS) drug therapy. After a brief overview of national policies, specific recommendations are made as regards vaccination for adult patients with SLE with a particular focus on current IS therapy and unmet needs.

Abstract
Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are at increased risk for infections. Vaccination is a powerful tool to prevent infections, even in immunocompromised patients. Most non-live vaccines are immunogenic and safe in patients with SLE, even if antibody titres are frequently lower than those of healthy controls. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are more prevalent in SLE patients when compared to the healthy population. Low-risk types of this virus cause anogenital warts, while high risk types are strongly related to pre-malignant cervical abnormalities and cervical cancer. HPV vaccines have been developed to prevent these conditions. Although little is known about HPV vaccination in SLE, few studies in patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (AIRDs) have shown that HPV vaccines are safe, and capable to induce an immunogenic response in this group of patients. To date, available data suggest that HPV vaccines can be given safely to SLE patients. Given the increased incidence of cervical abnormalities due to HPV in SLE patients, this vaccination should be encouraged.

Roles of CDKN1A gene polymorphisms (rs1801270 and rs1059234) in the development of cervical neoplasia. Tumour Biol 2016; 37:10469-78. [PMID: 26846214 DOI: 10.1007/s13277-016-4850-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2015] [Accepted: 01/13/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
The CDKN1A gene product is a p53 downstream effector, which participates in cell differentiation, development process, repair, apoptosis, senescence, migration, and tumorigenesis. The objective of our study was investigated the importance of two polymorphisms in the CDKN1A gene, rs1801270 (31C>A) and rs1059234 (70C>T), for the development of cervical lesions in a Southeastern Brazilian population (283 cases, stratified by lesion severity, and 189 controls). CDKN1A genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and/or DNA sequencing. CDKN1A 31A allele presents a genetic pattern of protection for the development of high-grade cervical lesions (CC vs CA genotype: OR = 0.60; 95 % CI = 0.38-0.95; p = 0.029; CA+AA vs CC genotype: OR = 0.60; 95 % CI = 0.39-0.93; p = 0.021). Allele distributions of the CDKN1A 70C>T polymorphism were also different between the two study groups, with the CDKN1A 70T allele being less prevalent among cases. Moreover, the double heterozygote genotype combination 31CA-70CT decreases the chance of developing high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and cancer (OR = 0.55; 95 % CI = 0.32-0.93; p = 0.034) by 50 %, representing a protective factor against the development of more severe cervical lesions.

Abstract
Human papilloma virus (HPV) infection is documented to be involved in the development of epithelial malignancies, mostly in cervical cancer. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients have an increased prevalence of such an infection. We report the case of a 55-year-old female SLE patient who developed multiple in situ squamous cell carcinomas on her fingers, after chronic HPV infection. HPV-33 DNA was isolated from the lesions. The purpose of this case presentation is to raise awareness about HPV-induced malignancies for this high-risk group and propose an early HPV vaccination to efficiently prevent such comorbidities.

Abstract
Adolescents with chronic medical conditions (CMCs), a growing population worldwide, possess a wide array of preventive health care needs. Vaccination is strongly recommended for the vast majority of these adolescents given their increased risk of vaccine preventable infection and associated complications. Not only should they receive routine vaccines, but some also require additional vaccines. Despite these guidelines, evidence suggests that adolescents with CMCs often fail to receive needed vaccines. Many factors contribute to this under-immunization, including lack of knowledge among parents and providers and suboptimal coordination of primary and subspecialty care. This review describes current vaccination recommendations for these adolescents as well as recent data related to infection risk, vaccine efficacy and safety, vaccination coverage, and the unique multilevel factors impacting uptake in this population. It also discusses strategies for improving coverage levels and reducing missed vaccination opportunities, with a particular focus on technology-based interventions.
