Objective: Levonorgestrel intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) has been widely used in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC), endometrial hyperplasia without atypical (EH), and atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH). The purpose of our Network meta-analysis (NMA) is to evaluate the efficacy of the treatments based on the LNG-IUS in patients with EC and EH with or without atypical.
Methods: We examined PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library up to 22 April 2024 to determine studies reporting treatment outcomes in EC and EH patients receiving LNG-IUS therapy, LNG-IUS + metformin (MET), oral progestins (OP), etc.
Objective: To construct models of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection with precancerous lesions or cervical cancer and explore the immune function.
Methods: Using CRISPR/Cas9, the expression vector -Rosa26 was microinjected into fertilized eggs of C57BL/6 N mice using homologous recombination, and the F0 generation was obtained for reproduction. Then, the formation of precancerous lesions was promoted via intramuscular injection of estradiol.
Ovarian cancer (OC) has the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers, which progresses owing to dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) expression. Our study attempts to reveal the mechanism by which decreased miR-324-3p expression suppresses OC proliferation. Quantitative real-time PCR, western blotting, in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry were performed to estimate miR-324-3p and WNK2 expression levels in OC cells and tissues.

The application of high-throughput sequencing technologies has greatly enhanced our understanding to the human microbiome. The causal relations between human microbiome and diseases have become a critical issue to elucidate disease development and develop precision medicine. Recently, the study about vaginal microbiome (the microbial flora that inhabits the female vagina) has received wide interests.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have been shown to be associated with the occurrence and development of cervical cancer (CC). In the present study, we aimed to investigate the tumor-promoting effect of hsa_circ_0000069 (circ0000069) on CC and the mechanisms underlying its effect. We found that circ0000069 was upregulated in CC cells and tissues, and that N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification maintained circ0000069 stability.

In the present study, we investigated the ability of rucaparib, a Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor which is currently in clinical development, on overcoming ABC transporters-mediated MDR in cervical cancer cell lines. Rucaparib significantly enhanced the cytotoxic effects of a series of conventional chemotherapeutic drugs in drug resistance cervical cancer cell lines.

Eliminating HPV driver gene or loss of function by the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/Cas9 system is a promising treatment for the HPV-associated cancer. Thus, this study designed a CRISPR/Cas9 system to target the E6 and E7 genes at once, to detect whether it have efficacy and .

FAT1 is a mutant gene found frequently in human cervical cancer (CC), but its expression and relevance in CC proliferation, invasion, and migration are still unknown. We aimed to explore the role and novel mechanism of FAT1 in CC progression. The expression of FAT1 in CC and adjacent normal tissues was analysed, and we investigated the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa and C33A cells treated with wild-type FAT1 plasmid or FAT1 siRNA.

Herein we report a yeast-derived platform for targeted oral delivery of cisplatin (CDDP) that is one of the most effective drugs for chemotherapy of various types of cancers. The optimal conditions were first established to fabricate yeast microcapsules (YCs) with desirable loading capability.

Involvement of the androgen receptor (AR) in the malignant behaviors of other tumors has been reported. However, whether AR associates with Nanog (a stem cell marker) and participates in OCSC functions remain unclear.
