Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. Cervical cancer usually develops from human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which leads to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1/2/3) and eventually invasive cervical cancer. Therefore, early-screening and detection of cervical lesions are crucial for preventing and treating cervical cancer.

Introduction: In early-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), how to perform lymphadenectomy to avoid stage migration and achieve reliable targeted excision has not been explored in depth. This study comprehensively considered the stage migration and survival to determine appropriate numbers of examined lymph node (ELN) for early-stage EOC and high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).

Methods: From the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, we obtained 10372 EOC cases with stage T1M0 and ELN ≥ 2, including 2849 HGSOC cases.

Background: The specific long-term trend in ovarian cancer (OC) rates in China has been rarely investigated. We aimed to estimate the temporal trends in incidence and mortality rates from 1990 to 2019 in OC and predict the next 30-year levels. Data on the incidence, mortality rates, and the number of new cases and deaths cases due to OC in the China cohort from 1990 to 2019 were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

To evaluate the effect of hysteroscopy and suture on uterine scar diverticulum (CSD) after caesarean section and its influence on blood loss, operation time and antibiotic time. Eighty-nine patients with CSD were divided into observation group ( = 41 cases) and control group ( = 48 cases). Control group received laparoscopic scar diverticulum resection and suture, while the observation group received hysteroscopic resection of scar diverticulum.

Understanding liquid motion in nanoenvironment is of fundamental importance in nanofluidics-based systems. While the liquid outflow from hydrophobic nanochannels can significantly affect system performance, its underlying mechanism remains unclear so far. Here, we present an experimental study of the gas-phase effect on liquid outflow behavior from hydrophobic nanochannels in a liquid nanofoam (LN) system.

We have experimentally studied the effect of electrolytes on gas oversolubility and liquid outflow from hydrophobic nanochannels. By immersing nanoporous material with the same porous structure and surface properties into four different aqueous electrolyte solutions with the same surface tension, the excessive solid-liquid interfacial tension of the resulted liquid nanofoam (LN) systems has been set as a constant. Upon unloading, partial liquid outflow has been observed and quantified.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are derived from the mesoderm and have the self‑renewal capacity and multi‑directional differentiation potential of adult stem cells. Stem cells from different sources have different molecular and growth characteristics; therefore, the mechanisms and effects of stem cell‑mediated repair and tissue regeneration may be different. The aim of the present study was to compare the biological characteristics of MSCs derived from the umbilical cord (UC‑MSCs) and MSCs derived from the decidua parietalis (DP‑MSCs), and to provide new evidence for the selection of seed cells in regenerative medicine.

Objective: Chloride channel-3 (ClC-3) plays significant roles in various physiological and physiopathological activities, including cell migration and invasion ability. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether ClC-3 influences the migration and invasion of cervical squamous cell carcinoma cells and its possible mechanisms.

Methods: Paraffin-embedded cervical tissues, including normal cervical tissues, cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and homologous paracancerous tissues, were collected.

Background: Cervical carcinoma is a major gynecological cancer and causes cancer-related deaths in worldwide, the latent pathogenesis and progress of cervical cancer is still under research. ClC-3 may be an important promoter for aggressive metastasis of malignant tumors. In this research, we explore the ClC-3 expression in cervical carcinoma and its underlying clinical significance, trying to illuminate ClC-3 probable function in the neoplasm malignant behavior, development and prognosis.

Objective: To explore effective approaches of treating elderly patients with distal tibiofibular fractures.

Methods: From August 2008 to October 2012,175 elderly patients with distal tibiofibular fractures were treated with locking compression plate (LCP) through anterior tibial. There were 112 males and 63 females with an average of 71.
