title: [Determination of the proliferative activity of the cervix uteri epithelium in papillomavirus infection].
abstract: The results of examinations of 35 patients aged 17 to 42 years who had abnormalities in the cervix uteri were analyzed. Colposcopy detected an atypical epithelium in 100% of cases. To verify the diagnosis, biopsy specimens from the cervix uteri were morphologically studied prior to and following treatment. Before treatment, there was a slight proliferative activity of the epithelium in 45% of cases and its high proliferative activity in 15% in uncomplicated papilloma viral infection (PVI). A follow-up of complicated PVI indicated increases in the expression of a proliferative nuclear antigen (PVA) with higher dysplasia: a moderate response in 75% of D3 + PVI cases and a higher response in 60% of preinvasive cancers. Analysis of PCNA-immunological reactivity of biopsy specimens taken after treatment estimates the efficiency of the chosen complex of treatments: there was a negative result of immunohistochemical responses.
