Background: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) for patients with partially platinum-sensitive, platinum-resistant, or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer.

Methods: Patients with partially platinum-sensitive, platinum-resistant, or platinum-refractory ovarian cancer were recruited in this prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study. Eligible patients were given 4-6 cycles of PLD (40 mg/m2 on day 1, every 4 weeks).

We present herein a rare case of large vascular and cardiac metastases of low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LG-ESS) in a female patient, which occurred after misdiagnosis of endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) as submucosal leiomyoma 7 years ago. Preoperative three-dimensional CT reconstruction was used to assess the extent of the lesion. The patient underwent radical resection: thrombectomy and total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy without establishing the cardiopulmonary bypass.

Background: Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been widely used in developing countries for the treatment of patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages IB3 and IIA2 cervical cancer. However, the effectiveness of NACT and treatment options for NACT-insensitive patients have been concerning. This study will assess prognostic differences between NACT and primary surgery treatment (PST), determine factors associated with prognosis, and explore better adjuvant treatment modalities for NACT-insensitive patients.

Importance: Transvaginal mesh (TVM) can increase the durability of vaginal surgical procedures for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and may be indicated in certain situations despite concerns about mesh-related complications. In addition, the expense of commercial mesh kits has limited their use. The effectiveness, safety, and cost of a self-cut mesh procedure compared with a commercial mesh-kit procedure for the surgical treatment of women with POP is unclear.

IL6 is one of the most elevated cytokines during chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and IL6R blockade by Tocilizumab has successfully relieved the most life-threatening aspects of CRS in patients. In addition, latest studies demonstrated the essential role of IL1 in driving CART induced neurotoxicity in mouse models. Here we present a clinical investigation (ChiCTR2000032124; ChiCTR2000031868) of anti-CD19 and anti-BCMA CART (41BBζ) secreting an anti-IL6 scFv and IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) in treating patients with hematologic malignancy.

Revolutionary CART therapy still faces the challenge of severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS). While IL6 and IL1 have been demonstrated as essential contributors, GM-CSF is one of the most abundant inflammatory cytokines secreted by CART and has also been suggested in contributing to CRS. To minimize GM-CSF production from CART to reduce its associated toxicity, we conducted a pilot study (ChiCTR2000032124) of CRISPR-edited GM-CSF knockout (KO) in CART secreting anti-IL6 scFv and IL1RA, with additional TCR KO for tracing edited CART.

Background: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common health problem and has significant negative effects on a woman's quality of life. The transvaginal mesh procedure is a durable reconstructive surgery, but the mesh kits are expensive for underdeveloped countries. Our previous case-series study showed that the use of self-cut mesh had a good success rate (91.

Mixed gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a rare occurrence that refers to the coexistence of choriocarcinoma and/or placental site trophoblastic tumor and/or epithelioid trophoblastic tumor. The diagnosis and management of mixed GTN are challenging. We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnoses, treatments, and outcomes of patients with mixed GTN.

The transcription factor MEF2 promotes survival in various cell types and a number of studies indicate that abnormal regulation of MEF2 is linked to oncogenicity in several carcinomas. We have found that MEF2D, a member of the MEF2 family, is upregulated in Ovarian Cancer (OC). Immunohistochemistry analysis of tumor sections of 402 OC patients revealed that MEF2D is significantly elevated at the protein level.

Background: The Food and Drug Administration recently announced that the use of morcellation may cause fibroids or pelvic dissemination and metastasis of uterine sarcoma; therefore, the use of morcellation is limited in the USA. A large sample study is necessary to assess the proportion of uterine malignant tumors found in patients with laparoscopic myomectomy.

Methods: A national multicenter study was performed in China.

Background: Pituitary metastasis secondary to gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is an extremely rare condition that has not been previously reported in the literature.

Case: A 23-year-old female presented with symptoms of amenorrhea for 6 months. She was diagnosed with choriocarcinoma, and chemotherapy was scheduled.

Although 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) combination chemotherapy provides a satisfactory therapeutic response in patients with gestational trophoblastic neoplasms (GTNs), it has severe side effects. The current study analyzed the therapeutic effects and side effects of tegafur plus actinomycin D (Act-D) vs. 5-Fu plus Act-D for the treatment of GTNs based on controlled historical records.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of letrozole on ovulation induction and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Methods: We analyzed totally 1,230 cycles of patients that underwent FET from October 2010 to September 2012. Seven hundred and thirteen cycles of patients with ovulation disorders that underwent FET were randomly assigned to two groups by case control study.

To identify new genetic risk factors for cervical cancer, we conducted a genome-wide association study in the Han Chinese population. The initial discovery set included 1,364 individuals with cervical cancer (cases) and 3,028 female controls, and we selected a 'stringently matched samples' subset (829 cases and 990 controls) from the discovery set on the basis of principal component analysis; the follow-up stages included two independent sample sets (1,824 cases and 3,808 controls for follow-up 1 and 2,343 cases and 3,388 controls for follow-up 2). We identified strong evidence of associations between cervical cancer and two new loci: 4q12 (rs13117307, Pcombined, stringently matched=9.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of letrozole (LE) alone on the ovulation induction in endometrial preparation for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET).

Methods: Totally 253 FET cycles were analyzed by case control study from October 2010 to June 2011. We divided ovulation disorders or menstrual disorders divided into 2 groups: a LE group on ovulation induction cycle (n=85), and a hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle group (n=84).
