Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported that REBACIN effectively eliminates persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection. Here, we conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of REBACIN, taking into account factors such as specific hrHPV subtype and patient's age. METHODS According to inclusion/exclusion criteria and participant willingness, 3252 patients were divided into REBACIN group while 249 patients into control group. Patients in REBACIN group received one course treatment of intravaginal administration of REBACIN while no treatment in control group. After drug withdrawal, participants in both groups were followed up. RESULTS The clearance rate of persistent hrHPV infection in REBACIN group was 60.64%, compared to 20.08% in control group. Specifically, the clearance rates for single-type infection of HPV16 or HPV18 were 70.62% and 69.23%, respectively, which was higher than that of HPV52 (59.04%) or HPV58 (62.64%). In addition, the single, double, and triple/triple+ infections had a clearance rate of 65.70%, 53.31%, and 38.30%, respectively. Moreover, 1635 patients under 40 years old had a clearance rate of 65.14%, while it was 55.08% for 1447 patients over 40 years old. No serious adverse effects were found. CONCLUSION This study confirmed that REBACIN can effectively and safely eliminate persistent hrHPV infection, which the clearance rate of HPV16/18 is higher than that of HPV52/58, the clearance rate of single-type infection is higher than that of multiple-type infections, and the clearance rate in young patients is higher than that in elder patients, providing a guidance for REBACIN application in clearing hrHPV persistent infection in real-world settings.

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Patients With Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2/3: A Prospective One-Arm Study. Ultrasound Med Biol 2023; 49:375-379.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to ascertain the safety of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 (CIN 2/3) in patients with fertility requirements. This was a prospective one-arm study. Consecutive CIN 2/3 patients diagnosed with histopathology were screened, enrolled and treated from September 2019 to September 2020 in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College. All patients were treated with a combination of HIFU and antiviral treatment with REBACIN. The scheduled follow-up visits were 1 week, 1 mo, 3 mo, 6 mo and 12 mo after surgery. The primary outcomes included cure and human papillomavirus clearance rates. We screened 287 consecutive CIN 2/3 patients in our hospital, 29 of whom were enrolled and treated in this study. The cure rate reached 82.8% at 7 mo after treatment and 96.6% within 1 y. The HPV-negative rate reached 72.4% (21/29) around 6 mo after treatment, with mild side effects during and after the procedure. Our study suggests that in CIN 2/3 study participants with fertility requirements, HIFU + REBACIN therapy is a safe and effective therapeutic option with a high cure rate, HPV clearance and few side effects.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that REBACIN® intervention eliminates persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection. The initial establishment and subsequent progression of cervical cancer mainly depends on two major oncogenes, E6/E7, and previous studies have proposed E6/E7 oncogenes as a target for therapeutic drug development. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro and in vivo whether REBACIN® inhibits E6/E7 oncogenes for elucidating the mechanism of REBACIN® in the clearance of persistent hrHPV infection. In vitro, after REBACIN® treatment, the growth of both Ca Ski and HeLa cervical cancer cells containing the E6/E7 oncogenes was prevented. In line with this finding is that E6/E7 expression was inhibited, which can be counteracted by the co-application of anti-REBACIN® antibody. These studies demonstrated that REBACIN® can effectively inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cells via targeting HPV E6/E7 expression. To further verify this finding in clinic, 108 volunteer patients with persistent hrHPV infections were randomly divided into REBACIN®, recombinant human interferon alpha-2b (Immunological drug control), or no-treatment blank control groups, received intravaginal administration of REBACIN®, interferon or no-treatment every other day for three months, and then followed up for E6/E7 mRNA assay. In REBACIN® group, 68.57% of patients showed complete clearance of HPV E6/E7 mRNA, which was significantly higher compared to 25.00% in the interferon immunological drug control group and 20.00% in blank control group, confirming that REBACIN® is potently efficacious on clearing persistent hrHPV infections via inhibition of HPV E6/E7 oncogenes.
