Protection motivation theory in predicting cervical cancer screening participation: A longitudinal study in rural Chinese women.

Objective: To examine factors longitudinally associated with cervical cancer screening uptake among rural Chinese women, guided by protection motivation theory (PMT).

Methods: A large sample of women (n = 2408, aged 35-65 years old) was randomly selected from a rural county in China in 2015 and followed up for 2 years. Data for demographic factors, knowledge of cervical cancer screening, screening outcome, and six PMT constructs measured at the baseline in 2015 were used to predict cervical cancer screening participation at the follow-up in 2017 using structural equation model method.

Human papillomavirus type 18/16 infection and prevalence among middle-aged and older Chinese rural women: a cross-sectional survey in Wufeng, Hubei Province.

This study aimed to measure the prevalence and potential factors related to HPV 16/18 infection among middle-aged and older Chinese rural women. The study was conducted among women aged 35-65 years in rural villages within Wufeng in Hubei Province. Data were collected using a pretested questionnaire between July and August 2015.

Protection motivation theory in predicting intention to receive cervical cancer screening in rural Chinese women.

Objective: Despite the significance of cervical cancer screening, motivating more women to participate remains a challenge in resource-limited settings. In this study, we tested the protection motivation theory (PMT) in predicting screening intentions.

Methods: Participants were women from Wufeng, a typical rural county in China.

VIA/VILI is more suitable for cervical cancer prevention in Chinese poverty-stricken region: a health economic evaluation.

Background: Screening is the main preventive method for cervical cancer in developing countries, but each type of screening has advantages and disadvantages. To investigate the most suitable method for low-income areas in China, we conducted a health economic analysis comparing three methods: visual inspection with acetic acid and Lugol's iodine (VIA/VILI), ThinPrep cytology test (TCT), and human papillomavirus (HPV) test.

Methods: We recruited 3086 women aged 35-65 years using cluster random sampling.

Knowledge about cervical cancer and barriers of screening program among women in Wufeng County, a high-incidence region of cervical cancer in China.

Purpose: Cervical cancer screening is an effective method for reducing the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer, but the screening attendance rate in developing countries is far from satisfactory, especially in rural areas. Wufeng is a region of high cervical cancer incidence in China. This study aimed to investigate the issues that concern cervical cancer and screening and the factors that affect women's willingness to undergo cervical cancer screening in the Wufeng area.

Case-control study of diet in patients with cervical cancer or precancerosis in Wufeng, a high incidence region in China.

Purpose: To investigate the diet of patients with cervical cancer and precancerosis in the Wufeng area, a high- incidence region in China.

Methods: In the case group, 104 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer or cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CINII/III) were recruited from the Wufeng area. Nine hundred thirty-six healthy women were selected from the same area as the matched controls.

Prevalence and type distribution of high-risk human papillomavirus infections among women in Wufeng County, China.

Objective: The aim of this survey was to assess the prevalence and type distribution of oncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infections among women in Wufeng County of Hubei province, where the cervical cancer mortality rate is the highest in China Cervical.

Methods: DNA samples were collected from 1,100 women, then screened and quantified by a multi-fluorescent, quantitative real-time PCR assay. The cervical DNA samples were then re-typed by real-time PCR using seven-pair primers of high-risk (HR) HPVs designed to detect types 16, 31, 18/45, 33, 52, 58, and 67.

Primary screening for breast diseases among 17618 women in Wufeng area, a region with high incidence of cervical cancer in China.

In this study, the current status for breast diseases in a region with high-incidence of cervical cancer were epidemiologically investigated. From March to August, 2009, 17618 women, from Wufeng area of Hubei province, China, were recruited to screen breast diseases by using breast infrared diagnostic apparatus. Other diagnostic methods, such as B-mode ultrasound, X-ray mammography, needle biopsy and pathological examination were, if necessary, used to further confirm the diagnosis.

[Clinical analysis of 21 cases of cervical adenosquamous carcinoma].

Objective: To study the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities and prognosis of cervical adenosquamous carcinoma.

Methods: The data of 21 patients with adenosquamous cervical cancer who were admitted into Zhongnan Hospital, Wuhan University from Jan 2001 to Dec 2005 were analyzed retrospectively. Six patients received surgical therapy only and 15 patients received combined therapy.
