ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of DNA ploidy analysis combined with immunocytochemistry p16/ki-67 double staining in cervical high grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia(HSIL) and cervical squamous cell carcinoma(SCC).Methods A total of 73 cases of cytological tests were randomly collected.Among them,53 cases were small DNA ploidy abnormal cells and 20 cases were DNA ploidy negative.The p16/Ki-67 results were detected by immunocytochemistry double staining.With the pathological results as the golden standard,the diagnostic values of DNA ploidy analysis and DNA ploidy analysis combined with p16/Ki-67 double staining in HSIL + was contrastively analyzed by pathologic results.Results Among 20 samples of DNA ploidy negative,the p16/Ki-67 double staining results all were negative.The positive predictive value of DNA ploidy analysis for HSIL + was 34.62％.The sensitivity of DNA ploidy analysis combined with p16/Ki-67 double staining for HSIL + was 84.62％,and its specificity was 92.31％,the positive predictive value was 78.57％ and the negative predictive value was 94.74％,which were significantly higher than those of DNA ploidy analysis(P＜0.05).Conclusion p16/Ki-67 double staining can significantly im prove the prediction value of HSIL.The DNA ploidy analysis combined with p16/Ki-67 double staining is an effective method for predicting HSIL +,which is suitable for the implementation in the areas with lack of medical resources.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To study of predictive value for detection of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2 +) by p16/Ki-67 dual-stained liquid-based cytology.Methods Random collection of 123 women including 103 samples of atypical squamous cell of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and above with results of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV)testing and cervical biopsy,20 samples of negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM) by using immunocytochemical p16/Ki-67 dual-stained and the morphology assessment.Results In normal control group,the expression of p16/Ki-67 dual-stained in squamous epithelial cells were negative.Sensitivity of p16/Ki-67 dual-staind cytology for biopsy-confirmed CIN2 + was 66.67％ (ASC-US),91.67％ (LSIL) and 92.86％ (HSIL),specificity rates were 95.92％ (ASC-US),95.00％ (LSIL) and 0 (HSIL),positive predictive value were 50.00％ (ASC-US),91.67％ (LSIL) and 92.86％ (HSIL),negative predictive value were 97.92％ (ASC-US),95.00％(LSIL) and 0 (HSIL),respectively.Condusion p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology are improved obviously the predictive value for detection of CIN2 +,p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology may efficiently complement HPV-based screening programs to prevent cervical cancer.
ABSTRACT
Background and purpose: The protein tyrosine kinase-7 (PTK7) gene may be related to the occurrence and progression of many tumors. This study was aimed to explore the expression of PTK7 in ovarian serous tumors and its relationship with clinical stage, histological grade, metastasis and prognosis indicators linkages, and analyze the diagnostic and prognostic value of PTK7 in ovarian serous tumors. Methods:Expressions of PTK7 in 3 ovarian cell lines (HO8910, SKOV3, A2780), 14 cases of normal fallopian tube epithelium, 6 cases of benign serous ovarian tumors, 51 cases of borderline serous ovarian tumors and in 97 cases of ovarian serous carcinoma were detected by immunohistochemical EliVision two-step method. Statistical analysis of the relationship between the expression of PTK7 and the pathological indicators was performed byχ2 test, Fisher exact test and Kaplan-Meier method. Results:PTK7 was negatively expressed in HO8910 and A2780, but weakly positively expressed in SKOV3. The positive rates of PTK7 in normal fallopian tube epithelium, benign serous ovarian tumors, borderline serous ovarian tumors and serous ovarian cancer were 92.86%(13/14), 83.33%(5/6), 45.10%(23/51), and 28.87%(28/97), respectively. The expression of PTK7 had no difference between normal fallopian tube epithelium and benign serous tumors, benign serous tumors and serous borderline tumors (P=0.521, P=0.102). The PTK7 expression showed signiifcant differences in serous ovarian carcinoma compared with those in normal epithelium, benign serous tumors and borderline serous tumors (P=0.000, P=0.012, P=0.048). Expression of PTK7 in borderline serous ovarian tumors was signiifcantly with clinical stage, metastasis (lymph node and/or peritoneum metastasis) (P=0.038, P=0.038), rather than its location, age (P=0.088, P=0.896). Expression of PTK7 in ovarian serous carcinoma had a signiifcant relation with its clinical stage, WHO grade, MDACC grade (P=0.011, P=0.004, P=0.000), rather than its location, metastasis, tumor diameter and age (P=0.326, P=0.524, P=0.588, P=0.584). The survival rate of PTK7 positive group in ovarian serous carcinoma was signiifcantly higher than that in the negative control group (P=0.017). Conclusion:The expressions of PTK7 in normal ovarian epithelium, benign serous ovarian tumors, borderline serous ovarian tumors and epithelial serous carcinoma show a gradual downward trend. The expression of PTK7 in ovarian serous tumors has a positive correlation with late clinical stage, high histological grade and poor prognosis. PTK7 can be a new indicator of clinical diagnosis and prognosis in ovarian serous tumors.
