Objective To explore the expressions and.significancse of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-18 in serum and tissues of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN) and cervical cancer,and to analyze their relationships with clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis.Methods One hundred and eight patients' tissues and clinical blood samples (68 cases of CIN and 40 cases of squamous cell carcinoma) were enrolled in this study,including 25 with low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN Ⅰ),43 with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasias (CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ),and 40 with invasive cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC);meanwhile,20 cases normal cervical tissues were enrolled.The expressions of IL-10 and IL-18 in cervical tissues and serum of the studied patients were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction.Meanwhile,second generation hybrid capture was used to detect human papilloma virus(HPV) DNA in cervical smears obtained from the studied patients with the different lesions.The relationships among IL-10 and IL-18 with HPV DNA and clinical prognosis were analyzed.Results The expressions of IL-10 and IL-18 in normal control serum were (212.75 ± 62.09),(187.84 ± 81.03)pg/ml respectively.The expressions of IL-10 in CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ and SCC serums were (324.71 ±75.87),(397.43 ±68.56),(482.77 ± 104.05) pg/ml,with statistically significant difference (F =17.657,P =0.001).The expressions of IL-18 in CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ and SCC serums were (305.53 ± 64.08),(392.74 ± 87.38),(499.86 ± 92.04) pg/ml,with statistically significant difference (F =13.309,P =0.003).The relative expressions of IL-10 in normal control,CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ and SCC tissues were 0.99 ±0.01,3.24 ±0.68,7.32 ±0.99,13.24 ± 1.03,with statistically significant difference (F =21.694,P =0.000).The relative expressions of IL-18 in normal control,CIN Ⅰ,CIN Ⅱ-Ⅲ and SCC tissues were 0.98 ± 0.01,2.02 ± 0.84,7.01 ± 1.59,14.38 ± 2.10,with statistically significant difference (F =19.912,P =0.001).The expressions of IL-10 and IL-18 were positively associated with HPV infection (r =0.696,P =0.001;r =0.852,P =0.001).The median survival time of patients with high expressions of IL-10 was 9.74 months,which obviously shorter than those patients with low expressions of IL-10 (24.47 months),with statistically significant difference (x2 =21.363,P =0.001).The median survival time of patients with high expressions of IL-18 was 12.32 months,which obviously shorter than those patients with low expressions of IL-18 (22.88 months),with statistically significant difference (x2 =7.457,P =0.006).Conclusion High expressions of IL-10 and IL-18 are observed in patients with CIN and SCC,which can be used as biomarkers for predicting early cervical lesions.

Objective To investigate the effect of serum CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg levels on the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer radiotherapy.Methods 100 cases of cervical cancer were diagnosed by pathological examination in our hospital from October 2008 and October 2011,Using radioimmunoassay(RIA) in detection of serum CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg level,Pearson and Spearman correlation is used to study the relationship between serum CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg level and cervical cancer patients with clinical features,using the Cox regression model of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg level and uterine cervix cancer death or recurrence and metastasis of the relationship.Results 100 cases of patients with cervical cancer,endpoint events in 21 cases,LNR4 patients appear higher risk of endpoint events about 44.3%,CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg levels were with cervical cancer patients with CA-125 values,tumor staging,depth of tumor invasion into positive correlation,and the age of patients,no significant correlation,tumor differentiation(P=0.013),serum CYFRA21-1 levels(P=0.02),serum SCCAg levels(P=0.03),depth of tumor invasion(P=0.04) is cervical cancer patients with endpoint events independent risk factors.Conclusion CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg levels were closely related to the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer radiotherapy.
