This study was performed to compare the efficacy between a DNA chip method and a Hybrid-Capture II assay (HC-II) for detecting human papillomavirus in patients with intraepithelial lesions of the uterine cervix. From May, 2005, to June, 2006, 192 patients with abnormal colposcopic findings received cervical cytology, HC-II and HPV DNA chip tests, and colposcopic biopsy or conization. We compared the results of HC-II and HPV DNA chip in conjunction with liquid based cervical cytology (LBCC) and confirmed the results of biopsy or conization. The sensitivity of the HPV DNA chip test was higher than HC-II or LBCC. The HPV DNA chip in conjunction with LBCC showed higher sensitivity than any single method and higher sensitivity than HC-II with LBCC.
We confirmed that the HPV DNA chip test was more sensitive for detecting HPV in cervical lesions than HC-II, and that it would provide more useful clinical information about HPV type and its multiple infections.

HPV infection has been implicated strongly in the pathogenesis of human squamous cell carcinoma(SCC). We analysed a series of 28 surgically removed, invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus by polymerase chain reaction to detect HPV DNA using consensus primers and 8 type-specific primers of HPV (6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 51). HPV 6, 31, 35 or 51 DNA were detected in 20 out of 28 cases (71.4%) of the esophageal SCCs. HPV 51 was the most frequently detected type, occuring in 13 out of 28 cases (46.4%). p53 immunohistochemical staining was also performed to demonstrate any relationship to HPV DNA positivity. It showed positivity in 16 out of 28(57.1%) esophageal SCCs, and HPV DNA and p53 positivity were concurrently detected in 11 out of 28 cases of SCCs. There was no significant inverse relation between HPV DNA positivity and p53 expression(p>0.05). Our results supported HPV involvement in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, and suggested there may be another pathway not related to the p53-binding pathway in the carcinogenesis of esophageal SCCs by HPV.
The authors examined 9 condylomas, 26 cervical intraepithelial neoplasms(CIN) and 22 invasive squamous cell carcinomas for the presence of human papillomavirus(HPV) DNA sequences by DNA-DNA in situ hybridization. In situ hybridization revealed target HPV DNA sequences mostly in the nuclei of the superficial cells from epithelium which contained either maturation or koilocytotic atypias. With the use of biotinylated HPV DNA probes 6/11, 16/18 and 31/33/35, 42 of the 57(73.7%) were positive with HPV-6/11, 23 with HPV-16/18, 32 with HPV-31/33/35 and 18 with two or more mixed probes. HPV-31/33/35 was wht most prevalent in CIN and invasive squamous cell carcinomas, follwed by HPV-16/18. The incidence of HPV DNA increased from 66.7% to 86.4% with increasing severity of the lesions from condylomas to invasive squamous cell carcinomas. Flat condyloma was most freuently accompanied by CIN.
