Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of reflectance confocal microscopy(RCM) in the diagnosis of several common diseases manifesting as papules in children, including lichen nitidus, verruca planae, lichen striatus, milium, molluscum contagiosum and lichen pilaris. Methods A total of 579 children clinically characterized by papules were recruited into this study. RCM was used to observe lesions and perilesional normal skin. The RCM features of 6 diseases manifesting as papules were analyzed and compared. Results Based on RCM images, 236 patients were diagnosed with lichen nitidus, 70 with verruca planae, 123 with lichen striatus, 40 with milium, 53 with molluscum contagiosum and 57 with lichen pilaris. All the 6 diseases had typical RCM features. Concretely speaking, RCM images of lichen nitidus lesions showed infiltration of dense inflammatory cells and melanophages in enlarged dermal papillae. In RCM images of verruca planae lesions, cells in the granular and spinous layers were arranged in concentric circles, giving a rose cluster?like appearance. RCM images of lichen striatus lesions revealed focal swelling of stratum spinosum, absent or local liquifaction degeneration of basal cells, and clustering of a moderate number of inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis. In RCM images of milium lesions, well?circumscribed round or oval structures containing highly but nonuniformly refractive materials could be seen in the dermis. RCM images of molluscum contagiosum lesions showed intact cystoid structures containing highly refractive molluscum bodies. Lowly to moderately refractive cutin ? like materials were observed along with the dilation of hair follicle infundibula in RCM images of lichen pilaris lesions. In RCM images, the 6 diseases were distinguished mainly based on structural features(patterns and refractivity)of skin lesions shown by continuous vertical scanning. Conclusion RCM is of great value to the diagnosis of diseases manifesting as papules in children.

Objective To evaluate the value of human papillomavirus (HPV) 16/18 E6 protein detection in shunting and prognosis in patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Methods A total of 98 patients with ASCUS or LSIL from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between May 2014 and May 2015 were selected as the subjects. All of them received the thin-cytologic test (TCT), HPV DNA, HPV16/18 E6 protein tests and colposcopy examination. After 3-year follow-up of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade Ⅰor bellow lesions diagnosed by biopsy and 30 negative controls, the above tests were performed again. The efficacies of all the tests were analyzed. The value of CIN grade Ⅱ or above was predicted. Results The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value in predicting CIN grade Ⅱor above lesions of HPV16/18 E6 protein , HPV DNA and HPV16/18 DNA was 30.8%, 95.3%, 50.0%, 90.0%, respectively; 84.6%, 37.6%, 17.2%, 94.1%, respectively and 61.5%, 67.1%, 22.2%, 91.9%, respectively in shunting study. The relative risk (RR) of CIN grade Ⅱor above lesions in patients with positive HPV16/18 E6 protein, persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA and positive HPV16/18 DNA was 13.429, 10.231 and 8.343, respectively in the follow-up study. Odds ratio (OR) of HPV16/18 E6 positive protein presenting persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA was 34.833 (95% CI 5.020-241.711). Conclusions In patients with ASCUS and LSIL, the specificity and positive predictive value of HPV16/18 E6 protein in predicting CIN grade Ⅱ or above lesions are higher than those of HPV DNA and HPV16/18 DNA. Moreover, these patients with HPV16/18 E6 protein positive have a higher risk of developing CIN grade Ⅱ or above lesions and persistent positive HPV16/18 DNA.
