Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • alteration of genital microecology from baseline at month 6

    Genital microecology includes measurements of cervical microbiota, HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases pathogens infection status, conditions of the vaginal secretion and the grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. As for cervical microbiota, the NGS technology will be used to sequence the 16s rRNA gene of the microbes in the cervical secretion of each volunteers. PCR will be used to detect HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases pathogens. As for the conditions of the vaginal secretion, methods such as manual microscopic inspection, gram stain and enzymology test will be used to do the measurement. Moreover, thinprep cytologic test of cervical exfoliated cells will be performed to evaluate the grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia.

    basline and month 6

Study Arms (2)

volunteers from health examination center

volunteers(n = 50/center) doing gynecologial examination recruited from health examination center, who shows no symptoms and signs in reproductive tract and are potentially regarded as the healthy controls

Diagnostic Test: 16S rRNA gene sequencing of cervical secretions

volunteers from gynecology outpatient

volunteers(n = 150/center) recruited from gynecology outpatient, who show abnormal symptoms and signs in reproductive tract and are potentially regarded as the cases with conditions in reproductive tract

Diagnostic Test: 16S rRNA gene sequencing of cervical secretions

Interventions

1. 16S rRNA gene sequencing of vaginal secretions: using NGS technology to assess the microbiota of the vaginal secretions 2. Microecology assessment of vaginal secretions: morphology test, functional assessment and Nugent score assessment of the vaginal secretions are included. 3. Genotyping of HPV and detection of sexually transmitted diseases pathogens based on the cervical exfoliated cells 4. Thinprep cytologic test of cervical exfoliated cells: to evaluate the grade of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia

Also known as: Microecology assessment of cervical secretions, Genotyping of HPV and detection of sexually transmitted diseases pathogens, Thinprep cytologic test of cervical exfoliated cells
