RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: The mortality due to uterine cervical cancer has been gradually increasing in women under 40 years of age (U40) in Japan. We investigated the effect of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) on U40 subjects without any overt cytological abnormalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined the clinical data, including the findings of a cobas 4800 HPV test that was approved in Japan in 2013 to triage women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and a histological examination in 589 Japanese women. RESULTS: The overall prevalence rate of HR-HPV was 34.5%. Biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) 2, or worse (CIN2+) was identified in 45.1% (23/51) of HR-HPV-positive women with ASC-US, who underwent colposcopy immediately. The mean period from the HPV test to the diagnosis of CIN2+ was 3.7 months. CIN2+ was more common (69.6%) in U40 patients. The rates of single or multiple infections of HPV-16, HPV-18, and 12 other HR-HPV (31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) in CIN2+ U40 patients were 31.3%, 0%, and 81.3%, respectively. The relative risk for CIN 2+ among U40 women with HPV-16 was not significantly different from that of the patients with infection of any of the 12 other HR-HPVs. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that the 12 other HR-HPVs have a potential to generate high-grade cervical lesions among young women, and the examination rate of colposcopy should be increased.
RESUMEN
Lissencephaly is one of the central nervous system anomalies of Miller-Dieker Syndrome (MDS). Fetuses with lissencephaly have an abnormal smooth brain with fewer folds and grooves that will be detected by ultrasounds or fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after 30 weeks of gestation. We report a fetus with lissencephaly diagnosed as Miller-Dieker Syndrome postnatally. G banded chromosome analysis revealed 45,X,psu dic(17;Y)(p13;p11.32).ish dic (17;Y)(LIS1-,RARA+, SRY+, DYZ3+) by G-banding analysis using high resolution banding technique. Fetal delayed cortical development will be the findings to perform further investigations including fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis for MDS, a 17p13.3 microdeletion syndrome, pre/postnatally. This will be the first case of MDS with unbalanced translocation between deleted short arm of chromosome 17 and Y chromosome.

INTRODUCTION: It is unclear whether hysterotomy closure techniques can affect niche development. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of single-layer and double-layer interrupted closures of hysterotomy incisions during primary cesarean section on the formation of uterine niches. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective cohort study of women undergoing primary cesarean section was performed between June 2011 and July 2014. Saline contrast sonohysterography was used to measure the niche depth and residual myometrium. The ratio of the niche depth to the sum of the niche depth and residual myometrium thickness (niche ratio) was calculated. RESULTS: Niches were identified in 14/58 (24.1%) women with single-layer sutures and 55/209 (26.3%) women with double-layer sutures (p = 0.74). Single-layer closure was associated with more than a five-fold increase in the odds of a niche ratio ≥0.4 (odds ratio 5.59; 95% CI 1.71-18.28). CONCLUSION: Single-layer closure may be associated with an increased risk of larger niches (niche ratio ≥0.4), although it may not increase the overall frequency of niche formation.
