The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Objective: To discuss the significance of PIBF and Galectin-1 in cervical dysplasia tissue. Methods: The expression of PIBF and Galectin-1 in precancerous tissues of cervical cancer was determined by immunohistochemical method and ELISA method, and their clinical significance was analyzed. Results: PIBF and Galectin-1 levels in cervicitis and CIN1 tissues showed no statistically significant difference; the levels of PIBF and Galectin-1 in CIN2 and CIN3 tissues were higher than those in cervicitis and CIN1, and the differences were statistically significant when compared with other groups in CIN3 group. Conclusion: Compared with the normal cervical lesion tissue, the levels of PIBF and Galectin-1 in the precervical lesion tissue were significantly increased, suggesting that their elevated levels are significantly associated with the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasiathey played a promoting role in the lesion progression.
