Comparison of the detection of cervical human papillomavirus infection by filter DNA hybridization of cytologic specimens and by in situ DNA hybridization of tissues.

Cellular samples and subsequent cone biopsy samples from the same site in 18 patients were screened for infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18 (HPV 16/18) by DNA hybridization. Filter hybridization of cells collected using cervical swabs was significantly less sensitive (with only 4 positive results) in detecting HPV 16/18 DNA sequences than was in situ hybridization of tissue sections (with 16 positive results). The in situ hybridization results correlated well with the cytologic and histologic findings of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia of grades II (mild dysplasia) and III (severe dysplasia and carcinoma in situ).

The diffuse hypertrophy of the lower esophagus and the focal hypertrophy of the pyloric musculature in adults.

The diffuse hypertrophy of the lower esophagus is a hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the smooth muscle fibres of the M. propria, together with a distortion of the muscular architecture. The esophagogram reveals an impaired peristalsis and expansile ability of the esophagus lumen. The focal hypertrophy of the pyloric musculature in adults is a locally circumscribed hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the M. propria. The concentric pattern of the M. propria is no longer maintained. Radiologically one recognizes a benign pylorus stenosis with a complete systole and an impaired diastolic dilatation. On the basis of these macroscopical, microscopical and radiological findings both lesions differ from the circular pyloric or esophageal stenosis which occurs at the same anatomical sites. We therefore feel, that both lesions are different entities.
