Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study investigates the relationship between selenium levels in human tissues and the persistence of HPV (human papillomavirus) infection, particularly focusing on cervical-related lesions. The main objectives are to explore the correlation between selenium levels in different body samples (hair, nails, urine, and blood) and to evaluate selenium's potential protective effects against HPV persistence and its progression to cervical lesions. Key goals of the study include: Determining whether non-invasive monitoring (e.g., hair, nails, urine) can accurately reflect blood selenium levels. Understanding how selenium levels fluctuate in women with persistent HPV infection, and whether selenium supplementation can reduce the risk of HPV-related cervical disease progression. Exploring selenium's role in enhancing immune function, especially in older adults, to help clear HPV infection. By recruiting volunteers for selenium level testing and tracking HPV-positive women over time, this research aims to provide evidence on the effectiveness of selenium in preventing cervical cancer progression and potentially clearing HPV infections.
