Analytical evaluation of the automated genotyping system (GenPlex) compared to a traditional real-time PCR assay for the detection of high-risk human papillomaviruses. J Med Virol 2024; 96:e29496. [PMID: 38402627 DOI: 10.1002/jmv.29496] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/27/2024]
Abstract
The detection of high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is crucial for early screening and preventing cervical cancer. However, the substantial workload in high-level hospitals or the limited resources in primary-level hospitals hinder widespread testing. To address this issue, we explored a sample-to-answer genotyping system and assessed its performance by comparing it with the traditional real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method conducted manually. Samples randomly selected from those undergoing routine real-time PCR detection were re-analyzed using the fully automatic GenPlex® system. This system identifies 24 types of HPV through a combination of ordinary PCR and microarray-based reverse hybridization. Inconsistent results were confirmed by repeated testing with both methods, and the κ concordance test was employed to evaluate differences between the two methods. A total of 365 samples were randomly selected from 7259 women. According to real-time PCR results, 76 were high-risk HPV negative, and 289 were positive. The GenPlex® system achieved a κ value greater than 0.9 (ranging from 0.920 to 1.000, p < 0.0001) for 14 types of high-risk HPV, except HPV 51 (κ = 0.697, p < 0.0001). However, the inconsistent results in high-risk HPV 51 were revealed to be false positive in real-time PCR by other method. When counting by samples without discriminating the high-risk HPV type, the results of both methods were entirely consistent (κ = 1.000, p < 0.0001). Notably, the GenPlex® system identified more positive cases, with 73 having an HPV type not covered by real-time PCR, and 20 potentially due to low DNA concentration undetectable by the latter. Compared with the routinely used real-time PCR assay, the GenPlex® system demonstrated high consistency. Importantly, the system's advantages in automatic operation and a sealed lab-on-chip format respectively reduce manual work and prevent aerosol pollution. For widespread use of GenPlex® system, formal clinical validation following international criteria should be warranted.

[PMID: 37519009 PMCID: PMC10392751 DOI: 10.1080/21645515.2023.2241309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/23/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is a known pathogenic factor of cervical cancer. To develop scientific guidance for cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination, we analyzed HPV genotypes in Suzhou City, China. This study utilized data from the cervical cancer screening project in Suzhou from 2016 to 2021. A total of 444,471 female residents who voluntarily underwent HPV testing were included in the study. The overall HR-HPV prevalence was 10.2%. The three most common HR-HPV genotypes were HPV52 (2.81%), HPV58 (1.64%), and HPV16 (1.46%). The rate of HPV infection increased with age. Having a junior school education or higher was a protective factor compared to having an education level below junior school. The overall HPV infection rate showed a downwards trend from 2016 to 2021. HPV16 exhibited the fastest annual decline rate, followed by HPV18. As the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia increases, the detection rate of HPV infection significantly increased. In conclusion, in addition to cervical cancer screening, it is important to pay attention to health promotion and education for low-educated women aged 45-59. Considering the distribution of HPV genotypes, prioritizing the administration of high-valency HPV vaccines to local seventh-grade female students is recommended.

[PMID: 36653807 PMCID: PMC9847084 DOI: 10.1186/s12985-023-01959-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) induce long-lasting infections that cause cervical cancer. This study evaluated the prevalence of HPV infections and the distribution of their genotypes among clinic patients and healthy women in Beijing, China. METHODS Cervical specimens were collected from 12,100 patients and 1176 subjects who underwent physical examinations at Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, between March 2016 and September 2020. HPV genotyping was performed using commercial kits designed to detect 15 high-risk and 2 low-risk HPV genotypes. RESULTS There was a higher overall prevalence of HPV among the clinic patients (21.0%) than among the healthy women (11.9%). The most common HPV genotypes among the patients were: HPV-52 (5.4%), HPV-16 (3.4%), HPV-58 (3.2%), HPV-51 (2.6%), HPV-39 (2.0%), HPV-56 (2.0%), and HPV-66 (2.0%). Among the healthy women: HPV-52 (3.0%), HPV-51 (1.8%), HPV-58 (1.6%), HPV-66 (1.5%), HPV-16 (1.2%), HPV-56 (1.2%), and HPV-18 (1.1%). Multiple HPVs were detected in 29.1% of the gynecological outpatients and in 23.6% of the women receiving physical examinations. The most common pairs of HPV types detected were HPV-52 and HPV-16 in the clinic patients, and HPV-52 and HPV-56 in the healthy women. Age-specific HPV positivity and peak prevalence were observed among the individuals in both groups for women aged less than 25 years and those between 61 and 65 years of age. CONCLUSIONS Our results provide current estimates of HPV prevalence and genotypes in the Beijing region. The epidemiological characteristics observed also provide a reference for the development of cervical cancer screening strategies and selection of HPV vaccine antigen targets for this region. A comparison of these HPV prevalence data with those from other regions suggests that regional vaccines may be an important direction for future research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study was to determine the prevalence of HPV in non-vaccinated women from East China, and the association between prestored smartphone monitored physical activity and the risk of human papillomaviruses (HPV) infection and cervical cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of unvaccinated women received first-time cervical HPV screening in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of University of Chinese Academy of Sciences between March 2018 and December 2019. HPV genotyping was examined by the GenoArray. Physical activity defined by any movements at speeds of 0.5-2 m/s was obtained from smartphones. We collected prestored physical activity data for 6 months prior to the HPV screening. Logistic regression models were applied to determine the association between physical activity and the risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer. RESULTS A total of 11,730 women were initially included. Women with cervical cancer had significantly higher prevalence of infection with any high-risk (HR) HPV, or with individual HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58. Among them, 896 controls and 289 cervical cancer women had information of smartphone monitored physical activity. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that more daily physical activity time (or distance) was a protective factor for infection with any HR HPV, or infection with HPV16, but not other individual HPVs. Increased age, less physical activity time (or distance), and infection with any HR HPV (16, 18, 31, 52 and 58) were associated with a significantly increased risk of cervical cancer. In contrast, obesity was not associated with risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer. CONCLUSION The high prevalence of HPV infection in unvaccinated women highlights the importance of prevention. More daily physical activity time (or distance) may help to reduce the risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer. Smartphone monitoring is an effective tool for recording physical activity.<br />.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate and understand the prevalence of HPV genotypes and characteristics of female populations in specific areas and the relationship with cervical lesions, which can effectively guide cervical cancer screening and formulate HPV vaccine prevention strategies. Methods A total of 77,443 women who visited gynecological clinics and underwent health examinations in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine during 2016–2020 were enrolled in this survey. Cervical samples were collected for HPV DNA genotyping and cervical cytology testing. Cervical biopsies were performed for patients with visible cervical abnormality or abnormal cytological results. Results The results showed the 5-year overall positive rate was 22.3%, of which the gynecology clinic group had significantly more positive results compared with the health examination group (P < 0.001). The five most common genotypes in Zhejiang Province were HPV 52, 58, CP8304, 16, and 51 (23.9%, 12.7%, 11.7%, 11.7% and 9.3%). HPV infection was age-specific, with the highest infection rate in the age group ≤ 20 compared to other age groups (P < 0.001). HPV infection was also season-specific, with the highest infection rate in spring or winter. The main HPV infection mode was single infection (P = 0.004), but patients ≤ 20 years old were more likely to develop multiple infections (51.0%). HPV 16, 52 and 58 were the main genotypes that caused cytological abnormalities and HPV16, 18, 56, 58 and 66 were independent risk factors for cervical lesions (OR = 2.352, 1.567, 2.000, 1.694, 1.889; all P < 0.05). Further analysis found HPV 16 and 18 were the main genotypes that cause cervical cancer histological abnormalities and were independent risk factors for cervical cancer (OR = 5.647, P < 0.001; OR = 3.495, P = 0.036). Conclusion This article analyzed the prevalence of distribution characteristics of HPV infection and revealed the corelation between HPV infection and cytological and histological abnormalities. Comprehensive results of this survey will help Zhejiang Province to formulate public health policies and provide evidence for future selection of specific HPV vaccines.

[PMID: 34543155 DOI: 10.1080/21645515.2021.1971016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Rather than receive the effective 2vHPV vaccines that are readily available in China, Chinese women usually wait to receive 4v and 9vHPV vaccines, which are difficult to acquire. This means that Chinese women miss the opportunity for optimal protection from cervical cancer. As social media platforms are the main channel by which Chinese women learn about HPV vaccines, this study aimed to explore how HPV vaccines are described on social media, and in particular how they discuss or distinguish 2 v, 4 v and 9vHPV vaccines. The Octopus Web crawler tool was used to capture hot Weibo posts from 2013-2021, and 1,164 valid data were obtained. Results suggested that there are very few posts with great influence on Weibo about HPV vaccines among 9 years and much of them are created by "lay people." HPV-related topics lacked persistent popularity, comprised highly repetitive content and the spread of information was geographically diverse. There were significant differences in the media descriptions of different kinds of HPV vaccines. Price was mentioned more often in the descriptions of 2vHPV vaccines, whereas appointments were referred to most often in the descriptions of 9vHPV vaccines. There was little media attention paid to the safety and effectiveness of HPV vaccines. Chinese media should develop better collaborations with public health professionals, pay more attention to the originality of their news coverage of HPV vaccines and strive to promote HPV vaccination. Such collaboration will help news media to better understand the key points of HPV information that need to be disseminated.
