Anthocyanin (ACN) is a natural pigment with significant industrial applications. However, foam fractionation of ACN from perilla leaves extract presents theoretical challenges due to its limited surface activity and foaming capacity. This work developed a surfactant-free active AlO nanoparticle (ANP) as a collector and frother, which was modified with adipic acid (AA).

Some patients perform serious resistance after chemotherapy, and long-stranded non-coding RNA MEG3 is reported to be involved in the regulation of chemoresistance in many solid tumors. However, its involvement in cervical adenocarcinoma has not been reported.

Objective: To report our experience about the benefits and adverse events of surgery compared to HIFU for the treatment of AWE.
MiR-338-3p is down-regulated in cancer, which inhibits cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and increases chemosensitivity, but its functions in ovarian cancer remains unknown. The present study aims to identify the miR-338-3p targeted genes and to investigate the associated regulatory mechanisms in ovarian cancer cell proliferation and metabolism. Our results demonstrated miR-338-3p expression was down-regulated in most of ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound ablation for treating uterine fibroids, involving 99 patients and 117 fibroids in a clinical trial at Chongqing Medical University.
- After treatment, MRI evaluations showed an average 76% ablation area and significant reductions in fibroid volume, with 84.6% of patients achieving over 50% volume reduction at 6 months, and 92% experienced symptom improvement.
- Most patients could resume normal activities within 2 hours post-treatment, and while some minor complications occurred (35%), there were no serious adverse reactions reported in the study.
