We present the findings of assessing the expression levels of extracellular TLR2 and TLR4 and intracellular TLR3 and TLR8 correlating with the severity of clinical manifestations of HPV infection. A total of 199 women took part in a single-center prospective comparative research study on TLR2, TLR3, TLR4 and TLR8 expression in HPV-related cervical lesions. TLRs' mRNA expression was analyzed using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

The first case involved a 74-year-old woman with a 4 cm basal cell carcinoma on her right zygomatic region, while the second case involved a 83-year-old woman with a 6 cm squamous cell carcinoma on her left peri‑auricular area. Both patients underwent two sessions of systemic PDT, with chlorin E6 (Photoran) as the photosensitizer, followed by red light illumination.

Background: The aim of this article is a retrospective analysis of PDT effectiveness in the treatment in early-stage cervical cancer and also analysis of HPV elimination via PDT MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 28 patients were analyzed retrospectively, all with PDT treatment for early-stage cervical cancer. Patients underwent one PDT session or a multi-course PDT approach. This depended on individual reaction and response to therapy after the first session.

In this review, we provide a detailed overview of the most prominent of these factors. In particular, we discuss the input of elevated blood pressure to the remodeling of the aortic wall, describe the mechanisms of inflammatory remodeling of the aorta, and evaluate the cross-interaction of blood pressure, inflammation and immunity during the pathology development.
