Abstract
PURPOSE Emerging evidence suggests that vaginal micro-environment disorder is closely related to the development of cervical lesions. Low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1), as an early stage of cervical lesions, exhibits a high risk of progressing to high-grade lesions or even cervical cancer. However, the effect of vaginal micro-environment on the malignant prognosis of CIN1 remains uncertain. METHODS A total of 504 patients diagnosed with CIN1 by pathology, who were from the population-based cohorts established in Shanxi Province, China, were enrolled and followed up for 2 years. Micro-environmental factors such as vaginal pH, cleanliness, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), β-glucuronidase (GUSB), leucocyte esterase (LE), and sialidase (SNA) were detected to evaluate their effect on the malignant prognosis of CIN1. RESULTS Abnormal vaginal pH (HR = 1.472, 95%CI 1.071-2.022), cleanliness (HR = 1.446, 95%CI 1.067-1.960), H2O2 (HR = 1.525, 95%CI 1.155-2.013), GUSB (HR = 1.739, 95%CI 1.235-2.448), LE (HR = 1.434, 95%CI 1.038-1.981), and SNA (HR = 1.411, 95%CI 1.065-1.870) could promote a higher incidence of CIN1 malignant prognosis, and the combined effects of these micro-environmental factors resulted in a nearly twofold increased risk (HR = 2.492, 95%CI 1.773-3.504) compared to any single factor alone, especially under the high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection. Notably, the cumulative incidence of malignant prognosis for CIN1 gradually increased during the early follow-up period, reaching its peak at approximately 8 months, and then stabilizing. CONCLUSION Vaginal micro-environment disorder could promote CIN1 malignant prognosis, particularly in HR-HPV-infected women. Taking micro-environmental factors as the breakthrough, our study provides a feasible vision for preventing early stage cervical lesions.

[PMID: 35280998 PMCID: PMC8904559 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.803854] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to analyze the positive rate and test strategies of suspected autoimmune encephalitis (SAE) based on an antibody assay. Methods Patients who were diagnosed with suspected autoimmune encephalitis in Guizhou Province between June 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021 and who had anti-neuronal autoantibodies detected by Guizhou KingMed Diagnostics Group Co., Ltd. were included in this study. The positive rate and the test strategies were analyzed based on the results of the anti-neuronal antibody assay. Results A total of 263 patients with SAE were included, 58.2% (153/263) of whom were males, with a median age of 33 years (1-84 years). 84% (221/263) of all patients completed both serum and CSF tests. A total of 46.0% (121/263) of SAE patients received the AE-6 examination package. The antibody-positive rate was 9.9% (26/263) in the current cohort, with an observed incidence of antibody positive of 0.2 in 100,000 (26/11,570,000, 95% CI: 0.15-0.30), and the estimated incidence was 0.9 in 100,000 (95% CI: 0.84-0.95) of the total population. A total of 9 different anti-neuronal antibodies were detected. Anti-NMDAR antibody was the most common antibody in 46.2% (12/26) of subjects, 70.0% (7/10) of whom were children, followed by anti-Caspr2 antibody in 30.8% (8/26); the remaining 7 antibodies were detected in 23.1% (6/26) of the population. There were no obvious differences among age, sex or season in the positive rate of anti-neuronal antibodies. The cost of antibody testing per capita was $439.30 (SD±$195.10). The total cost of AE-14 was the highest at $48.016.81 (41.56%) among all examination packages. Conclusions This study described the positive rate associated with AE-related anti-neuronal antibodies and test strategies in the current cohort, which provides a basis for clinicians in clinical practice.
