Summary: This study identified candidate genes and pathways associated with immune alterations in individuals with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and genital warts. Gene expression analysis revealed differentially expressed genes in genital warts, and immunohistochemical analysis showed changes in immune markers. These findings contribute to our understanding and management of genital warts.

Summary: In this study, we aimed to explore the immune landscape and biomarkers of Condyloma acuminata (CA) for prevention and treatment. We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and hub genes associated with CA and investigated the microRNA (miRNA) involved. The over-expression of miR-146a-5p was found to reduce cell proliferation and migration in CA, induce apoptosis, and affect immune cell infiltration levels.

Summary: This study investigated the acceptance of the HPV vaccine for condyloma acuminata (CA) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. The results showed that although the knowledge of CA and HPV/CA vaccines among MSM was poor, the acceptance rate of the CA vaccine was high. Several factors were associated with the intention to use the CA vaccine, including a history of anal intercourse, knowledge of CA treatments, awareness of HPV vaccines/cervical cancer vaccines, and education about CA.

Summary: The study reveals the important role of IFN-ε in the development of genital warts. IFN-ε suppresses HPV infection and promotes the progression of genital warts, while HPV infection regulates the m6A modification of IFNE through WTAP. This study provides insights into the innate immune response of the host to HPV infection and may contribute to the development of future strategies for treating genital warts.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of chemical cautery and cryosurgery on CD4+ status of HIV patients with condyloma acuminata (CA), finding no significant difference in CD4+ levels between the two therapies. Both chemical cautery and cryosurgery were effective in improving the clinical condition of patients with CA, with chemical cautery resulting in a slightly higher CD4+ level than cryosurgery.

Summary: This study aims to explore the correlation between the expression of CD207 in condyloma acuminata (CA) skin lesions and the duration of CA disease course and frequency of recurrence, in order to provide new prognostic markers for clinicians.

Summary: The study reports two cases of successful treatment of oral condyloma acuminatum using 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT). After three treatments spaced one week apart, both cases were completely cured without significant adverse reactions. They were followed up for one year with no recurrence.

Summary: This study recorded 227 CA patients with HPV infection and visible warts to evaluate the frequency and efficacy of ALA-PDT treatment in different types of CA. It was found that CA patients with multiple-site infection, intra-luminal infection, or multiple-type of HPV infection required more sessions of ALA-PDT. The recurrence rate was significantly lower after six PDT treatments compared to three PDT treatments.

Summary: The study analyzed 543 melanoma samples collected in Eastern Finland from 2000-2013, finding a relatively high age at diagnosis for malignant melanoma and a significant increase in MM type during 2000-2013. Metastasis was found to be correlated with factors such as immunosuppression, male gender, Clark level, Breslow thickness, and ulceration.

Summary: This study developed two formulations, a hydrogel and a nanostructured system, containing ketorolac tromethamine for local therapy against inflammation resulting from surgical excision of Condyloma acuminata. The nanoparticles exhibited significantly higher anti-inflammatory efficacy compared to the chitosan gel, making them promising candidates for local anti-inflammatory therapy with potential clinical application.

Summary: The study developed a biocompatible topical hydrogel containing ketorolac tromethamine for managing painful inflammatory processes caused by the removal of anogenital condylomas. The hydrogel showed adequate characteristics for topical formulation and displayed good local tolerance on human skin and vaginal mucosa. With 53% anti-inflammatory activity, the ketorolac hydrogel is considered stable and suitable for treating inflammatory processes associated with anogenital warts removal.
