Background: Elevated homocysteine, an emerging biomarker for cervical cancer is amenable to treatment by cheap and effective nutritional interventions. Dhaka, Bangladesh. The objectives were to measure the serum homocysteine levels in women with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and in normal controls. Fifty women with invasive squamous cell carcinoma and 50 normal controls were compared for demographic and socioeconomic differences. Blood was tested for homocysteine levels.
Results: Among cases of cervical cancer, 82% had homocysteine level between 4.5-15 µmol/L & 14% had high homocysteine level (>15 µmol/L). Whereas in control group, 98% had homocysteine level between 4.5-15 µmol/L and 2% had homocysteine15 µmol/L) was not observed in any patient in the control group. The mean homocysteine level in cervical cancer patients was also higher (10.88 µmol/L) than that of controls (8.50 µmol/L) and this difference was statistically significant. Histological grade and clinical stage of cervical cancer did not correlate with serum homocysteine level.
Conclusion: There is a difference in homocysteine levels in women with cervical cancer. Homocysteine, which is associated with nutritional deficiencies of fruits and vegetables, may play a role as a marker for or as a co-factor in malignant transformation of cervical squamous epithelium. Larger studies are needed to further study this association. However public awareness is important regarding the role of fresh vegetables and fruits containing vitamin B (folate-vitamin B9; vitamin B12; vitamin B6) to reduce homocysteine and its possible consequences of cancer prevention.

宇宙飛行士とホモシステインと多嚢胞性卵巣症候群の関係 BBCの記事

We have found that the minor allele of MTRR 66 and the major allele for SHMT1 are associated with ophthalmic changes and that, when the presence of these alleles is combined with lower B-vitamin status (folate,B6, and riboflavin in particular), the risk of visual deterioration in astronautsisgreater.A higher androgen concentration (DHEA) before launch or a larger response (testosterone) during spaceflight may also beinvolved. Thus, we have identified a relationship between 1-carbon pathway polymorphisms and nutritional, biochemical, and endocrine factors among individuals who experience ophthalmic changes during and after space flight. More work is needed to identify specific mechanisms leading to these vision changes. This line of research may lead to methods fortreating or preventing these outcomes in at-risk astronauts. There are many metabolic similarities betweencrewmembers with ophthalmic changes and individu-als with the terrestrial condition PCOS. Thus, under-standing the relationships between genetics, physiology,and the environment may not only benefit future spaceexploration missions, but could profoundly affect advancesin terrestrial medicine.

Write-up: A 27-year-old woman had acute panuveitis, associated with bilateral knee pain with morning stiffness, erythematous papules on the bilateral anterior legs, vertigo, and hearing impairment 4 days alter administration of the third dose of GARDASIL. The only abnormal laboratory finding was an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Skin biopsy of the local erythematous papules disclosed septal panniculitis with lymphocytic vasculitis. Complete remission was achieved with oral and topical steroids for 4 months. There was no recurrence in the following 2 years. Ophthalmologists and primary-care physicians should be aware of this possible adverse reaction to GARDASIL. A 27-year-old female resident doctor complained of acutely painful, inflamed eyes with floaters, which developed 4days after she received the third dose of HPV4. Concomitant symptoms included bilateral knee pain with morning stiffness, erythematous papules on the bilateral anterior legs, vertigo, and hearing impairment. She denied any medication use, recent life changes, or family history of autoimmune disease. She had no adverse effects after the previous two doses of HPV4. On examination, she had a visual acuity of 16/20 in each eye and an intraocular pressure of 6 and 7 mmHg in her right and left eye, respectively. Biomicroscopy revealed ciliary injection, an anterior chamber reaction with cells +++, keratic precipitates, and snowball aggregates of inflammatory cells in the vitreous. Fundus examination showed some flame-shaped hemorrhages, and cotton wool patches in the left eye. Leakage from the peripheral retinal vessels was detected on fluorescein angiography. Laboratory examination revealed an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (34 mm/h). The complete blood cell count showed no abnormalities. Rapid plasma antigen. Treponema pallidum hemagglutination, antinuclear antibody, and rheumatic factor were nonreactive. The human leukocyte antigen 827 was negative. Chest radiography showed no hilar lymphadenopathy. A skin biopsy of the local erythematous papules disclosed septal panniculitis with lymphocytic vasculitis (Fig. 2). Oral prednisolone 1 mg/kg/d, methotrexate 5 mg weekly, and topical betamethasone 1% every 2 hours for 2 weeks were prescribed. Prednisolone was tapered in 4 months. The final visual acuity was 20{1S in both eyes. There was no recurrence of uveitis or other symptoms in the following 2 years. There are reports of uveitis associated with various vaccines, including hepatitis B. varicella zoster, meningococcal C conjugated, and Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccines. HPV4-related uveitis has been reported only in one case of bilateral ampiginous choroiditis, which was not associated with other systemic manifestations and occurred 3 weeks after HPV4 vaccination. In contrast, our patient had panuveitis, arthritis, panniculitis, and some acoustic symptoms. These adverse effects developed 4 days after vaccination, sooner than that in the previously reported case. Molecular mimicry and antigenic similarity between proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and retinal antigens have been proposed as a potential cause of uveitis elicited by the BCG vaccine. Computer-assisted analysis showed that HPV type16 E7 oncoprotein had a high, widespread similarity to several human proteins involved in critical regulatory processes, and different E7 peptide motifs were present in the same human proteins. While sharing the common motitis between viral proteins and molecules of normal cells might be one cause underlying the scarce immunogenicity of HPV infections, the mimicry between proteins in HPV4 and human proteins might be the cause underlying uveitis or other autoimmune reactions elicited by HPV4. Although direct histopathological study of the ocular tissue was not available, the uveitis in our patient was likely some kind of vasculitis. First, pathological study of the skin biopsy showed intimal proliferation and vessel-wall hyalinization with many monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes, compatible with lymphocytic vasculitis. Second, the fundus examination demonstrated some cotton wool patches and hemorrhages, consistent with destruction and obliteration of small vessels. Development of an autoimmune reaction in our patient occurred earlier after vaccination and involved more organs than the previously reported case. This might be due to an older-than recommended age at vaccination, or an existing HPV infection before vaccination. The suggested age for vaccination is between 9 and 26 years. Vaccination at older ages is not recommended because of possible existing HPV infection. Administration of HPV4 in a patient with pre-existing HPV infection might rechallenge certain viral antigens similar to self-proteins and thus cause a more severe autoimmune reaction. A recent study in patients with prior infection suggested that natural HPV-infection-elicited antibodies might not provide complete protection against cervical disease over time, while HPV4 prevented reinfection or reactivation of diseases of the vaccine type. However, vaccine-related adverse experiences were higher. In summary, the course in this patient suggested an HPV4 related uveitis. Molecular mimicry might head to systemic autoimunologic disorders. Ophthalmologists and primary-care physicians should be aware of this possible adverse reaction, especially in patients older than the recommended age or with possible pre-existing HPV infection. Upon internal review, hearing impairment was considered as an other important medical event.'' Additional information has been requested.

治療経過で記載されているMultiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome(MEWDS: 多発消失性白点症候群)は、多くは近視の若年女子に見られ、片眼性で予後良好であるため、経過から本疾患であると判断することはできない。しかし、ワクチン接種によりAPMPPE(急性後部多発性斑状色素上皮症)の初期診断後、最終診断 ampiginous choroiditis。(Case report. Br J Ophthalmol, 2010)関連のブドウ膜炎が引き起こされた可能性は否定できない。
