Application of CuFeLDH-NCNT in ultrasound-assisted-Fenton-like process for removing ciprofloxacin from aqueous solutions.

In this study, the mesoporous material NCNT was prepared by treating carbon nanotubes (CNT) with hydrazine and subsequently loaded with Cu-Fe layered double hydroxide (CuFeLDH) to create a multiphase catalyst (CuFeLDH-NCNT). Its application as a multiphase catalyst was investigated in an ultrasound-assisted Fenton process for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation in aqueous solution. In addition, the impacts of catalyst dosage, ultrasonic power, HO dosage, and beginning pH on CIP removal efficiency were carefully evaluated to maximize the removal efficiency of CIP.

Knockdown of miR-24 Suppressed the Tumor Growth of Cervical Carcinoma Through Regulating PTEN/PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway.

Cervical cancer (CC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in gynecology. Despite routine surgery, advanced CC is hard to remove completely. MicroRNA-24 (miR-24) regulates several types of tumors, but its regulatory function in CC was previously unknown.

Prognostic value of apparent diffusion coefficient in neuroendocrine carcinomas of the uterine cervix.

Objectives: This research was designed to examine the associations between the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and clinicopathological parameters, and to explore the prognostic value of ADC values in predicting the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and outcome of patients suffering from neuroendocrine carcinomas of the uterine cervix (NECCs).

Methods: This retrospective study included 83 patients with NECCs, who had undergone pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) between November 2002 and June 2019. The median follow-up period was 50.

Biomarker Assessment of Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: Association With Progression-Free Survival After Surgery.

Identifying BRCA mutations and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is the key to choosing patients for poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) therapy. At present, a large amount of research focuses on the application of HRD detection in ovarian cancer. However, few studies have discussed the relationship between HRD detection and postoperative survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

Lymphatic leakage after pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer: a retrospective case-control study.

Background: The study aims to evaluate the clinical features and management of postoperative lymphatic leakage (PLL) in patients with cervical cancer who received pelvic lymphadenectomy.

Methods: This retrospective study screened consecutive patients with cervical cancer (stage Ia2-IIb).

Results: Among 3427 cases screened, 63 patients (1.

Prognostic factors and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors of the uterine cervix based on the FIGO 2018 staging system: a single-institution study of 172 patients.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the prognostic factors and outcomes of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the cervix and to determine appropriate treatment.

Methods: A single-institution retrospective analysis of 172 patients with NETs was performed based on the new International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO 2018) staging system.

Results: Among the 172 eligible patients, 161 were diagnosed with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC), six with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, four with typical carcinoid tumors and one with SCNEC combined with an atypical carcinoid tumor.

Decreased hospital charges and postoperative pain in septoplasty by application of enhanced recovery after surgery.

Objective: Septoplasty has been the definitive treatment for nasal septum deviation, but its postoperative procedure may affect patients' quality of life. While new procedures in general surgery, such as enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), can speed up postoperative rehabilitations to improve quality of life, it is rarely applied in the ear-nose-throat field. This study therefore aims to evaluate the application of ERAS in patients with nasal septum deviation as a means of improving perioperative outcomes.

Sinus computed tomography predicts clinical response to corticosteroids in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease usually characterized by chronic eosinophilia in the sinonasal mucosa, which often requires glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. However, the therapeutic response varies markedly between individuals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic values of sinus computed tomography (CT) for GC-sensitivity in patients with CRSwNP.

Decreased frequency of adenoidectomy by a 12-week nasal budesonide treatment.

Objective: There is little evidence on the role of topical budesonide in reducing the frequency of adenoidectomy, although it was reported that topical budesonide can effectively ameliorate the symptoms of adenoid hypertrophy (AH). This study was aimed to investigate the possibility and safety of alternatives to adenoidectomy with a 12-week treatment with nasal budesonide.

Materials And Methods: One hundred patients with AH were randomized to receive either a double-blind budesonide (1 mg once daily) or placebo treatment for 2 weeks by transnasal nebulization.

Effect of the co-culture of human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells with human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) give origin to the marrow tromal environment that supports hematopoiesis. These cells present a wide range of differentiation potentials and a complex relationship with hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and endothelial cells. In addition to bone marrow (BM), MSCs can be obtained from other sites in the adult or the fetus.
