Background: It is important to assess the relationship between specific HPV genotype or multiple infection and cervical cytology. The protection provided by the HPV vaccine is type-specific, and the epidemiology feature of coinfections needs to be investigated. The aim is to provide baseline information for developing HPV vaccination and management of HPV-positive populations in the region.
Methods: A total of 3649 HPV-positive women were collected from 25,572 women who underwent 15 HR-HPV genotypes and ThinPrep cytologic test (TCT) results. Logistic regression was used to determine the correlation between the risk of cytology abnormalities and specific HPV infection. We calculated odds ratios (ORs) to assess coinfection patterns for the common two-type HPV infections. chi-squared test was used to estimate the relationship between single or multiple HPV (divided into species groups) infection and cytology results.
Results: The results showed there was a positive correlation between HPV16 (OR = 4.742; 95% CI 3.063-7.342) and HPV33 (OR = 4.361; 95% CI 2.307-8.243) infection and HSIL positive. There was a positive correlation between HPV66 (OR = 2.445; 95% CI 1.579-3.787), HPV51 (OR = 1.651; 95% CI 1.086-2.510) and HPV58(OR = 1.661; 95% CI 1.166-2.366) infection and LSIL. Multiple HPV infections with α9 species (OR = 1.995; 95% CI 1.101-3.616) were associated with a higher risk of high-grade intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) compared with single HPV infection. There were positive correlations between HPV66 and HPV56 (α6) (OR = 3.321; 95% CI 2.329-4.735) and HPV39 and HPV68 (α7). (OR = 1.677; 95% CI 1.127-2.495). There were negative correlations between HPV52, 58, 16 and the other HPV gene subtypes.
Conclusion: HPV33 may be equally managed with HPV16. The management of multiple infections with α9 may be strengthened. The 9-valent vaccine may provide better protection for the population in Chongqing currently. The development of future vaccines against HPV51 and HPV66 may be considered in this region.

Developing human papillomavirus (HPV) therapeutic DNA vaccines requires an effective delivery system, such as cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs). In the current study, the multiepitope DNA constructs harboring the immunogenic and conserved epitopes of the L1, L2, and E7 proteins of HPV16/18 (pcDNA-L1-L2-E7 and pEGFP-L1-L2-E7) were delivered using KALA and REV CPPs with different properties in vitro and in vivo. Herein, after confirmation of the REV/DNA and KALA/DNA complexes, their stability was investigated against DNase I and serum protease.

Background/objectives: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the primary cause of high-grade cervical lesions and cervical cancer worldwide. In Norway, HPV vaccination was introduced in 2009 for seventh-grade girls and extended through a catch-up program from 2016 to 2019 for women born between 1991 and 1996. This study evaluates the impact of the catch-up vaccination program on the incidence of HPV and high-grade cervical lesions in Troms and Finnmark.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a major global health issue and is recognized as the leading cause of cervical cancer. While prophylactic vaccination programs have led to substantial reductions in both HPV infection rates and cervical cancer incidence, considerable burdens of HPV-related diseases persist, particularly in developing countries with inadequate vaccine coverage and uptake. The development of therapeutic vaccines for HPV represents an emerging strategy that has the potential to bolster the fight against cervical cancer.

School-based immunization programs are crucial for equitable vaccine coverage, yet their success depends on parental consent processes. This study investigates patterns of vaccine decision-making within Australia's school-based immunization program, specifically focusing on human papillomavirus (HPV) and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (dTpa) vaccines offered free to adolescents aged 12-13. This qualitative study was conducted in the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (2022-2023).

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a prevalent infection affecting both men and women, leading to various cytological lesions. Therapeutic vaccines mount a HPV-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte response, thus clearing HPV-infected cells. However, no therapeutic vaccines targeting HPV are currently approved for clinical treatment due to limited efficacy.
