Aim: To determine the frequency of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) following large loop excision of the transformation zone of the cervix (LLETZ) according to grade and completeness of excision of CIN.
Methods: A retrospective study of 669 patients who had LLETZ biopsies showing CIN 1, 2, or 3. The patients were subdivided according to the grade and completeness of excision of CIN. The follow up period was 1.5 to 3.5 years. Risk of persistent/recurrent CIN was assessed by the frequency of histological diagnosis of CIN during the follow up period.
Results: Frequency of persistent/recurrent CIN increased with the grade of CIN reported: 6.7% of patients with CIN 1, 13.4% with CIN 2, and 21.7% with CIN 3 developed persistence or recurrence. The frequency of CIN persistence/recurrence was significantly lower where LLETZ showed complete excision of CIN (8.4%) than where it was incomplete (31.3%) (p < 0.0001) or equivocal (27.8%) (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: Patients with incomplete or equivocal excision of all grades of CIN merit careful, preferably colposcopic, follow up. Patients with completely excised high grade CIN require careful cervical cytologic surveillance.

VA Center for Health Information and Communication, US Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Health Systems Research CIN 13-416, Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, Indianapolis, Indiana.
Importance: Compared with cisgender (CG) individuals, transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals experience substantial social and economic disparities that can result in adverse mental health consequences. It is critical to understand potential barriers to care and to address the causes of the disparities in the future.
Objective: To characterize mental health care utilization among TGD veterans with depression.
Predictive Value of Netrin-1 Expression and Ultrasonic Blood Flow in Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia Severity.

Objective: To analyze the relationship and predictive value of Netrin-1 expression and ultrasonic blood flow parameters with the severity of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 115 patients diagnosed with CIN and 37 patients with chronic cervicitis, all of whom underwent surgical intervention. The expression levels of Netrin-1 were evaluated through immunohistochemical staining and quantitative fluorescence PCR.

: The study aimed to investigate the efficacy of medication treatment with glycyrrhizinic acid for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 1 lesions. : Women with histologically confirmed CIN 1 in cervical biopsies were included in the prospective study. Participants of the study group used glycyrrhizinic acid spray (Epigen spray) topically 10 days (Epigen 10-day subgroup) or 20 days (Epigen 20-day subgroup) per month for 6 months.

Cisplatin is a common and highly effective chemotherapeutic agent whose nephrotoxic side effect is well-characterized. Sodium thiosulfate (STS), an FDA-approved hydrogen sulfide (HS) donor drug, is emerging as a chemoprotective agent against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN). In this study, we investigated the chemoprotective mechanism of STS in a rat model of CIN.

TCP is a plant-specific transcription factor that plays an important role in plant growth and development. In this study, we used bioinformatics to identify the entire genome of the gene family in Bat, and we analyzed the expression characteristics of genes under UV-B radiation using qRT-PCR. The results were as follows: (1) 24 members of the gene family were identified in , evenly distributed on its 24 chromosomes.
