Background: Early detection and diagnosis of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2 or higher (CIN2+) is critical for a good prognosis and appropriate treatment. The chief aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of folate receptor-mediated staining solution detection (FRD) for CIN2+.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis by searching the PubMed and EMBASE databases for studies published until May 2020, which assessed the diagnostic accuracy of FRD, human papilloma virus (HPV) testing, and ThinPrep cytology test (TCT) for the detection of CIN2+. Bivariate models were used to compare the diagnostic performance of FRD, HPV, and TCT.
Results: Six studies involving 2817 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled specificity of FRD was higher than that of HPV and TCT for detecting CIN2+ (0.65, 0.12, and 0.39, respectively). The summary area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values using FRD, HPV, and TCT for detecting CIN2+ were 0.79, 0.95, and 0.77, respectively, indicating that FRD was superior to TCT. The diagnostic odds ratios of FRD, HPV, and TCT were 6 (95% CI: 5-7), 3 (95% CI: 2-5), and 3 (95% CI: 2-4), respectively, demonstrating that FRD had good diagnostic accuracy.
Conclusion: FRD showed good diagnostic accuracy and higher specificity than HPV and TCT for detecting CIN2+. Based on our results, we propose that FRD could be a candidate for cervical screening, especially in underdeveloped countries.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the potential utility of Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling cell detection in the early diagnosis of cervical lesions.
Methods: Enrichment of cervical epithelial cells was carried out using a calibrated membrane with 8-μm diameter pores. RNA-in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) was employed to detect and characterize EMT cells utilizing specific EMT markers.

Objective: To assess the clinical value of DNA methylation measurement in exfoliated cervical cells for distinguishing high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) from other cervical abnormalities.
Methods: A total of 276 patients were enrolled, and general clinical information was collected. Exfoliated cervical cells were obtained to assess human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, conduct ThinPrep cytology tests (TCT), and measure methylation levels of JAM3 (△CtJ) and PAX1 (△CtP).

Aim: To investigate the clinical efficacy of population-based treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections with Paiteling.
Methods: Between 1 June 2024 and 31 August 2024, 575 HPV-infected patients attending The First People's Hospital of Jingzhou gynecology outpatient clinic from October 2020 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected, all of whom were analyzed for HPV subtype infection and the presence or absence of cytomorphological abnormality using HPV-DNA testing and TCT; they were divided into 319 cases in the Paiteling group and 256 cases in the Interferon group, and the patients of both groups were subjected to TCT 1 month after the end of the administration of the medication and HPV review.
Results: 1.
The present study aimed to evaluate the application of DNA ploidy analysis, human papillomavirus (HPV-DNA) test, and thin-prep cytologic test (TCT) for mass screening of cervical cancer (CC). A total of 13,830 patients who underwent both TCT and HPV-DNA tests from June 2021 to June 2022 were selected as study participants (10,107 patients from Shandong Provincial Hospital, 2447 patients from First People's Hospital of Tancheng County, and 1276 patients from Liaocheng People's Hospital). We also conducted a DNA ploidy analysis and compared the results.

Background: Although both cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) II and CIN III carry the potential to progress into cervical cancer, to date, an optimal screening method for CIN2+ (CIN II, CIN III, and cervical cancer) cervical lesions is yet to be established.
Methods: In this retrospective study, data from 2035 patients treated at the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University between 2019 and 2021 were analyzed. The screening efficacy of three methods-the ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT) alone, the high-risk-human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) test alone, and the combined TCT and HR-HPV screening for CIN2+ lesions-were assessed using cervical histopathology as the reference standard.
