Background: Magnifying narrow-band imaging has enabled observation of the mucosal and vascular patterns of gastrointestinal lesions. This study investigated the potential value of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging for the classification of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia.
Methods: Seventy-six patients with gastric intraepithelial neoplasia (82 lesions) at People's Liberation Army General Hospital from December 2009 to November 2010 were analyzed. All patients underwent magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging, and their lesions were differentiated into probable low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia or possible high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia on the basis of the imaging features. Pathologic proof was subsequently obtained by endoscopic submucosal dissection in every case. The validity of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging was calculated, considering histopathology to be the gold standard.
Results: Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging showed 22 low-grade intraepithelial neoplastic lesions and 60 high-grade intraepithelial neoplastic lesions. Of the 22 low-grade intraepithelial neoplastic lesions, 16 showed the same results on both imaging and pathology. Of the 60 high-grade intraepithelial neoplastic lesions, 53 showed the same results on both imaging and pathology. Thus, the sensitivity of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging for high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia was 89.83%, which was higher than that for low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (69.57%). However, the specificity for high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (69.57%) was lower than that for low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (89.83%). The overall accuracy of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging was 84.15%.
Conclusions: Magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging can distinguish between gastric low- and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. It may be a convenient and effective method for the classification of gastric intraepithelial neoplasia.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare, low-grade epithelial tumor predominantly found in the salivary glands, with tracheal involvement being particularly uncommon. The present study details a case of primary tracheal HCCC and its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges and the therapeutic approach used. A 34-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of intermittent dyspnea.

The rare gastrointestinal tract epithelial polyp known as a pyloric gland adenoma (PGA) is more common in elderly women and uncommon in the duodenum. There are reports of two PGA cases involving high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. A 75-year-old man was admitted to the hospital as Patient 1 due to "epigastric distension and pain for more than 10 days".

Objective: We investigated the relation between man papillomavirus (HPV) integration status and the immediate risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), as well as the triage strategy based on HPV integration test.
Methods: 4086 women aged 20 to 65 years in China were enrolled in 2015 for a prospective, population-based, clinical observational study to evaluate the triage performance of HPV integration. Cervical exfoliated cells were collected for HPV testing and cytologic test.

The study evaluated the efficacy of HPV 16/18 E6/E7 mRNA detection in women with abnormal cervical histology. A total of 99 cervical biopsy samples were analyzed, including 49 benign, 16 with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1), 9 with CIN2/3, and 25 with cervical cancers. Samples were tested for HPV 16/18 using both DNA and mRNA RT-PCR methods.

Background: Ureaplasma parvum (U. parvum) is generally regarded as innocuous, and studies focusing on variations in pathogenicity among U. parvum serovars are inadequate.
