  1. 36. Cervical carcinoma in Kampala, Uganda, and the relationship with human immunodeficiency virus and human papillomavirus infections

    Författare :Michael Odida; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HPV; Human Papillomaviruses; women; HIV; Uganda; invasive cervical cancer;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Cervical carcinoma is the commonest tumour in Ugandan women. However, very little is known in the Ugandan population about HPV types associated with invasive cervical cancer, the relative risk of cervical cancer associated with different HPV types, and whether the risk of cervical cancer associated with HPV infection is modified by HIV infection.

  3. 37. Regulation of Human Papillomavirus Type 16 Late L1 mRNA Splicing

    Författare :Xiaoze Li; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV-16; cervical cancer; RNA processing; alternative splicing; splicing enhancer; splicing silencer; viral persistance; SR proteins; hnRNP proteins;

    Sammanfattning : Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause almost half of the human cancers that are attributable to viruses. HPV type 16 is the most carcinogenic type among the HPVs and is detected in 50% of all cervical cancers. HPV-16 infects epithelial cells and HPV-16 gene expression is tightly linked to the differentiation stage of the infected cells. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Human papillomavirus and cervical carcinoma in situ : implications for future screening

    Författare :Nathalie Ylitalo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cervical carcinoma in situ; human papillomavirus; HPV 16; quantitative PCR; archival smears; viral load; incubation period; smoking; oral contraceptive use;

    Sammanfattning : The principal aim of this thesis was to study the temporal relationship between human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) infection and cervical carcinoma in situ, particularly focusing on the effect of viral load. Other aims were to study the role of additional factors, especially smoking and oral contraceptive use, in cervical carcinogenesis. LÄS MER

  5. 39. The ubiquity and type diversity of papillomaviruses in normal skin

    Författare :Annika Antonsson; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; skin phylogeny; HPV prevalence; HPV type detrmination; PCR; human papillomavirus; HPV;

    Sammanfattning : Papillomaviruses are a diverse, epitheliotropic group of viruses. Some genotypes are the main cause of anogenital cancer in humans; others can induce skin lesions. In order to investigate the occurrence of subclinical skin infections with human papillomavirus (HPV), a pair of degenerate primers (FAP59/64) was designed. LÄS MER

  7. 40. Analysis of genetic susceptibility to cervical cancer using candidate gene and GWAS approaches

    Författare :Ivana Juko-Pecirep; Ulf Gyllensten; Holger Luthman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cervical cancer; association study; human papillomavirus; genetics; complex disease; TMC6; TMC8; MHC region; Medical Genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is the forth most commonly diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. It is caused by persistent infection with an oncogenic type of Human Papillomavirus (HPV). The HPV is a necessary but not sufficient cause of cervical cancer. LÄS MER
