Abstract

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection can cause laryngeal papillomas in children. Vertical transmission has been confirmed. This study aimed to establish a sensitive molecular diagnostic method and understand the incidence of the HPV-6 and HPV-11 in neonates with intubation. We enrolled 108 newborns between October 2007 and January 2010. All neonates were intubated due to underlying disease. The specimens were collected via endotracheal aspiration. DNA of HPV types 6 and 11 was detected by real-time PCR and nested PCR. HPV-DNA was detected in eight of the 108 newborns studied. Seven respiratory specimens tested positive for HPV-11 and one was positive for HPV-6. The HPV 6/11 detection rate in neonates was 7.4% (8/108). A rapid, sensitive, specific, and reproducible RT-PCR method and nest PCR were developed for the detection and differentiation of HPV-6 and HPV-11 genomic variants in a single PCR reaction. The assays are of great value for clinical and epidemiologic studies of HPV-6 and HPV-11 infections. Neonatal HPV colonization may be related to juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. The transmission route may be from mother to child. The clinical significance of neonatal carriage of HPV-6 or HPV-11 warrants furt...Continue Reading

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.

Cancer Genomics (Keystone)

Cancer genomics approaches employ high-throughput technologies to identify the complete catalog of somatic alterations that characterize the genome, transcriptome and epigenome of cohorts of tumor samples. Discover the latest research using such technologies in this feed.
