Objective To analyze and summarize the cause of false positive results of the cervical liquid-based preparation screening,to improve the accuracy of cervical cytology diagnosis.Methods 20 353 cases were col-lected.The cytological diagnosis was statistically analyzed.Test positive results contrast analysis of the histologic diag-nosis was conducted.Cytological diagnosis of positive and histology diagnosis of non -neoplastic to review the original cytology.Results The incidence of 637 cases of cytology screening for positive.Among the 388 cases with histologic control,228 cases of histological diagnosis of abnormal change.Include:low -grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL),high -grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL),cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC),cervical ade-nocarcinoma(ACC),endometrioid carcinoma,malignamt melanoma.The other 160 cases did not check out the abnor-mal lesions.Conclusion Incidence of false positive results in 160 cases,accounting for 41.2%.It almost focused on atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC -US)and LSIL for a variety of reasons.Standardized work process should be taken to strengthen the training of the doctors,summarize continuously improve,as far as possi-ble to avoid false positive diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combined therapies of ablative fractional Er ∶YAG laser (2,940 nm) and ALA-PDT on refractory verruca plana.Methods 120 cases of refractory verruca plana patients were randomly divided into two groups:60 cases in the control group and 60 cases in the experimental group.The control group used 10% ALA-PDT with LED irradiation of a power density 70 of mW/cm2 at a distance of 20 cm,which lasted for 20 min each time.The experimental group was treated with ablative fractional Er ∶ YAG laser (2,940 nm) first with the fluence of 500P/cm2 and short pulse duration,and then treated 10% ALA-PDT as mentioned before.Every patient was treated twice at two-week intervals.Three independent investigators evaluated subject outcomes at 3 months post-treatment including efficacy and side-effects.Results The effective rate of the experimental group was 86.44 % at 3 months post-treatment after one to two times.Meanwhile,the control group was 59.65 %.The clinical outcome of experimental group was better than the control group.There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).The recurrent rate of experimental group was 3.39% and 12.30% in control group.There was significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).There were no obvious side-effects in both groups.Conclusions Ablative fractional laser with low fluence promotes the transdermal absorption of ALA and enhances the efficacy of PDT.

Enhancing the heat-sensitivity of tumor cells provides an alternative solution to maintaining the therapeutic outcome of photothermal therapy (PTT). In this study, we constructed a therapeutic system, which was composed of methoxy-polyethylene-glycol-coated-gold-nanorods (MPEG-AuNR) and VER-155008-micelles, to evaluate the effect of VER-155008 on the sensitivity of tumor cells to heat, and further investigate the therapeutic outcome of MPEG-AuNR mediated PTT combined with VER-155008- micelles. VER-155008- micelles down-regulate the expression of heat shock proteins and attenuate the heat-resistance of tumor cell. The survival of HCT116 cells treated with VER-155008- micelles under 45 °C is equal to that treated with high temperature hyperthermia (55 °C) . Furthermore, we proved either the MPEG-AuNR or VER-155008- micelles can be accumulate in the tumor site by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescent imaging. anti-cancer evaluation showed that tumor size remarkably decreased (smaller than 100 mm or vanished) when treated with combing 45 °C mild PTT system, which contrasted to the tumor size when treated with individual 45 °C mild PTT (around 500 nm) or normal saline as control (larger than 2000 nm). These results proved that the VER-155008- micelles can attenuate the heat-resistance of tumor cells and enhance the therapeutic outcome of mild-temperature photothermal therapy.
