배 경: 액상 세포학 검사법(Liquid-based cytology)은 최근들어 각광을 받고있는 검사방법으로 여러 연구, 특히 산부인과적 영역에서 암진단에 높은 효율성을 보여주고 있다. 본 저자들은 기관지내시경상 이상병변을 보이는 환자에서 세척세포진, 솔질세포진, 액상 세포학 검사법인 Thinprep을 시행하여 진단율 및 효용성을 비교하여 보았다. 방법 및 대상: 본원에서 2005년 6월부터 9월까지 호흡기적 증상을 보여 내원한 환자 중 기관지내시경을 시행하여 병변이 발견된 30명의 환자에서 Thinprep과 기존세포검사를 시행하였다. 결 과: 이상병변을 보였던 30명의 환자 중 조직검사를 통해 암을 진단받은 환자는 24명이었으며 4명은 결핵, 각각 1명씩은 기관지확장증, 기관지-폐누공을 진단받았다. Thinprep에서 암인 24명의 환자 중 19명이, 기존세포검사에서 기관지솔질검사(brushing)을 통해 얻은 결과가 17명, 세척액(washing)은 12명에서 암세포나 비전형세포가 보였다. 두 방법 모두 암이 아닌 환자에서는 비전형세포는 보이지 않았다. 세척세포진검사는 민감도 50%, 특이도 100%, 양성예측도 100%, 음성예측도 33.3%, 솔질세포진검사는 민감도 70.8%, 특이도 100%, 양성예측도 100%, 음성예측도 46.2%, Thinprep에서는 민감도 79.2%, 특이도 100%, 양성예측도 100%, 음성예측도 54%를 보였다. 결 론: 액상 세포학 검사법인 Thinprep은 기존의 검사법보다 민감도, 음성예측도가 큰 검사로 폐암의 진단률을 높이는데 도움을 줄 수 있으며 앞으로 대단위의 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Purpose: To study the clinical application value of ultrasound guided thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy and thinprep cytology testing in diagnosis of thyroid disease. Methods: A total of 78 patients with thyroid nodules were enrolled, 34 males and 44 females, aged 33-64 years old with mean age of 47.6 years. All underwent thyroid module fine needle puncture after surgery to assess cell pathology and histopathological features. Results: Sufficient specimens were obtained from all of 78 patients, the cytological results of 73 cases (93.6 %) being consistent with pathological results. While 20 cases (25.6 %) were malignant tumors, 44 (56.4 %) were benign and 9 (11.5 %) were non-tumor lesions. The sensitivity of benign and malignant thyroid nodule by thyroid fine needle puncture was 90.9 %, specificity was 98.1 % and the positive predictive value was 96.3 %. Conclusions: It is demonstrated that ultrasound-guided thyroid fine needle aspiration biopsy and thinprep cytology testing have diagnostic value in clinical application for thyroid disease,showing good diagnostic coincidence rates with histopathological examination. They can thus be regarded as safe and effective for preoperative diagnosis and providing an appropriate basis for selection of surgery.

Cervical cancer is a commonly-encountered malignant tumor in women. Cervical screening is particularly important due to early symptoms being deficient in specificity. The main purpose of the study is to assess the application value of cervical thinprep cytologic test (TCT) and human papillomavirus (HPV) detection in screening for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. In the study, cervical TCT and HPV detection were simultaneously performed on 12,500 patients selected in a gynecological clinic. Three hundred patients with positive results demonstrated by cervical TCT and/or HPV detection underwent cervical tissue biopsy under colposcopy, and pathological results were considered as the gold standard. The results revealed that 200 out of 12,500 patients were abnormal by TCT, in which 30 cases pertained to equivocal atypical squamous cells (ASCUS), 80 cases to low squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), 70 cases to high squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) and 20 cases to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). With increasing pathological grade of cervical biopsy, however, TCT positive rates did not rise. Two hundred and eighty out of 12,500 patients were detected as positive for HPV infection, in which 50 cases were chronic cervicitis and squamous metaplasia, 70 cases cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I, 60 cases CIN II, 70 cases CIN III and 30 cases invasive cervical carcinoma. Two hundred and thirty patients with high-risk HPV infection were detected. With increase in pathological grade, the positive rate of high-risk HPV also rose. The detection rates of HPV detection to CIN III and invasive cervical carcinoma as well as the total detection rate of lesions were significantly higher than that of TCT. Hence, HPV detection is a better method for screening of cervical cancer at present.

This study is aimed to investigate the role of paired boxed gene 1 (PAX1) methylation analysis by methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) in the detection of high grade lesions in atypical squamous cells cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H) and compared its performance with the Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) human papillomavirus (HPV) test. In our study, 130 cases with a diagnosis of ASC-H from the cervical cytological screening by Thinprep cytologic test (TCT) technique were selected for triage. Their cervical scrapings were collected and evaluated by using PAX1 methylation analysis (MS-HRM) and high-risk HPV DNA test (HC2), followed by colposcopy and cervical biopsy. Chi-square test were used to test the differences of PAX1 methylation or HPV infection between groups. In the detection of CIN2+, the sensitivity, specificity, the PPV, NPV and the accuracy of PAX1 MS-HRM assay and high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) tests were respectively 80.6% vs 67.7%, 94.9% vs 54.5%, 83.3%, vs 31.8%, 94.0% vs 84.4%, and 91.5% vs 57.7%. The PAX1 MS-HRM assay proved superior to HR-HPV testing in the detection of high grade lesions (CIN2+) in ASC-H. This approach could screen out the majority of high grade lesion cases of ASC-H, and thus could reduce the referral rate to colposcopy.
