Cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) are one of the common types of cervical cancer precancerous changes, and HPV16/18 positivity is a risk factor for HSIL recurrence. By detecting the expression of relevant markers in the lesion tissue of recurrent patients, it is helpful for the diagnosis of HPV16/18 positivity and can provide a basis for disease recurrence risk assessment. Therefore, this study analyzed the relationship between p16, C-myc, PIK3CA proteins and HPV16/18 positivity in recurrent cervical HSIL patients.

Current treatment can only relieve symptoms and delay the progression of OA in result of its indistinct pathogenesis. In recent years, more and more studies have focused on the pathogenesis of OA.

However, previous studies mainly focused on the spore form of T rubrum, but rarely on its hyphal form, although the latter is the main pathogenic form of T rubrum in vivo.
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of MB-PDT on T rubrum in different growth phases in vitro.
