https://www.selleckchem.com/products/unc6852.html BACKGROUND/AIM Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women in Ethiopia. The objective was to evaluate the participation rate of a free of charge vaginal self-sample (Aptima multitest swab, Hologic) for the detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) in an Ethiopian cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS Specimens were collected from women employed by Ethiopian Airlines in Addis Abeba (N=5950). Samples were analysed for the presence of high-risk (HR) HPV mRNA by the Aptima HPV assay (Hologic) and HPV positive women were referred for cytology. Identification of HPV types among HPV positive samples was performed by Modified general primer-PCR and Luminex assay. RESULTS Participation rate was 3.1% and the prevalence of HPV mRNA was 20.6% (37/180). CONCLUSION Primary HPV mRNA screening with vaginal self-sampling may be an acceptable approach in Ethiopia. One out of five women harbor HPV in their vaginal self-sample in agreement with other similar studies from the region. AIM We examined whether the perioperative systemic inflammation score (SIS), which describes systemic inflammation and/or malnutrition, affected the tumor recurrence and survival in advanced gastric cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study retrospectively analyzed 160 patients with stage II/III gastric cancer who underwent curative resection at the Kanagawa Cancer Center. The SIS was evaluated before surgery, one week after surgery and one month after surgery, as determined by the serum albumin level (cut-off value=4.0 g/dl) and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (cut-off value=4.44). RESULTS A high SIS at one month after surgery was identified as an independent predictor for overall survival [hazard ratio (HR)=2.143, p=0.020] and showed a marginal significance for the relapse-free survival (HR=1.814, p=0.053) in multivariate analyses. CONCLUSION The SIS at one month after surgery is a useful biomarker for predicting the long-term outcome in patients with ad
