Carboxymethyl cellulose-based photothermal film: A sustainable packaging with high barrier and tensile strength for food long-term antibacterial protection.

Traditional packaging materials feed the growing global food protection. However, these packaging materials are not conducive to environment and have not the ability to kill bacteria. Herein, a green and simple strategy is reported for food packaging protection and long-term antibacterial using carboxymethylcellulose-based photothermal film (CMC@CuS NPs/PVA) that consists of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) immobilized copper sulfide nanoparticles (CuS NPs) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

Survival Outcomes of Patients With Stage IB3 Cervical Cancer Who Undergo Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy Versus Radiochemotherapy.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the survival outcomes among stage IB3 cervical cancer patients who undergo abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH)+pelvic lymphadenectomy ± para-aortic lymph node dissection versus radiochemotherapy (R-CT).

Methods: Based on the large number of diagnoses and treatments for cervical cancer in the Chinese database, propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates of the ARH group and R-CT group.

Results: There were 590 patients with stage IB3 cervical cancer according to the FIGO 2018 staging system, with 470 patients in the ARH group and 120 patients in the R-CT group.

Comparison of the Oncological Outcomes Between Robot-Assisted and Abdominal Radical Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer Based on the New FIGO 2018 Staging System: A Multicentre Retrospective Study.

Objective: To compare the 3-year oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical hysterectomy (RRH) and abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) for cervical cancer.

Methods: Based on the clinical diagnosis and treatment for cervical cancer in the China database, patients with FIGO 2018 stage IA with lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI)-IB2 cervical cancer disease who underwent RRH and ARH from 2004 to 2018 were included. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rate between patients receiving RRH and those receiving ARH.

The pathological risk score: A new deep learning-based signature for predicting survival in cervical cancer.

Purpose: To develop and validate a deep learning-based pathological risk score (RS) with an aim of predicting patients' prognosis to investigate the potential association between the information within the whole slide image (WSI) and cervical cancer prognosis.

Methods: A total of 251 patients with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Stage IA1-IIA2 cervical cancer who underwent surgery without any preoperative treatment were enrolled in this study. Both the clinical characteristics and WSI of each patient were collected.

Uterine corpus invasion in cervical cancer: a multicenter retrospective case-control study.

Objective: To determine the accuracy of uterine corpus invasion (UCI) diagnosis in patients with cervical cancer and identity risk factors for UCI and depth of invasion.

Methods: Clinical data of patients with cervical cancer who underwent hysterectomy between 2004 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. UCI was assessed on uterine pathology.

Gene expression changes in cervical squamous cancers following neoadjuvant interventional chemoembolization.

Background: The efficacy of therapy for cervical cancer is related to the alteration of multiple molecular events and signaling networks during treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate gene expression alterations in advanced cervical cancers before- and after-trans-uterine arterial chemoembolization- (TUACE).

Methods: Gene expression patterns in three squamous cell cervical cancers before- and after-TUACE were determined using microarray technique.

Association between preoperative serum insulin levels and lymph node metastasis in endometrial cancer-a prospective cohort study.

Endometrial cancer is a common gynecological malignancy in developed countries. Insulin has been identified as a risk factor for endometrial cancer. However, whether insulin levels are related to the risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in endometrial cancer is unknown.

Reduced mA mRNA methylation is correlated with the progression of human cervical cancer.

The mA mRNA methylation involves in mRNA splicing, degradation and translation. Recent studies have revealed that reduced mA mRNA methylation might promote cancer development. However, the role of mA mRNA methylation in cervical cancer development remains unknown.

Effect of Interventional Therapy on the Expression of Survivin mRNA in Cervical Cancer.

Aim: To examine the expression of survivin mRNA in cervical squamous cancer at different time points during interventional therapy in order to find the optimal time point for continual treatment.

Patients And Methods: Fifty patients with stage IB2-IIB cervical squamous cancer receiving transarterial infusion chemotherapy and chemoembolization were included in the present study. The expression of survivin mRNA in cancer samples before and after interventional therapy (on days 7, 14 and 21) were examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.

MREG suppresses thyroid cancer cell invasion and proliferation by inhibiting Akt-mTOR signaling.

Thyroid cancer has long been considered to arise in middle age and progress to more aggressive and lethal cancers after its repeated proliferation. In this research, we aimed at investigating the biological function and the underlying molecular mechanism of Melanoregulin (MREG) in thyroid cancer. It was found that the expression of MREG was significantly downregulated in thyroid cancer tissues.

Ursolic acid nanoparticles inhibit cervical cancer growth in vitro and in vivo via apoptosis induction.

Cervical cancer is a cause of cancer death, making it one of the most common causes of death among women globally. Previously, a variety of studies have revealed the molecular mechanisms by which cervical cancer develops. However, there are still limitations in treatment for cervical cancer.

Expression of BMP-4 in papillary thyroid carcinoma and its correlation with tumor invasion and progression.

Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) is a member of the BMP protein family. BMP-4 was reported to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promote tumor cell immigration and invasion. This study aimed to investigate the expression of BMP-4 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and its correlation with the patients' clinicophathological features and with tumor invasion and metastasis.

The evaluation of uterine artery embolization as a nonsurgical treatment option for adenomyosis.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of uterine artery embolization (UAE) for the treatment of adenomyosis.

Methods: A prospective study was performed at Yuhuangding Hospital, China, between January 2012 and December 2013, enrolling premenopausal patients diagnosed with adenomyosis. All patients were treated with bilateral UAE using 500-700-μm tris-acryl gelatin microspheres.

Intramural ectopic pregnancy: treatment using uterine artery embolization.

Herein is described the case of a 28-year-old woman in whom uterine artery embolization (UAE) was performed to treat intramural ectopic pregnancy. The intramural ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed at magnetic resonance imaging, which showed a gestational sac surrounded completely by myometrium. The UAE procedure was uncomplicated, with satisfactory results.

Clinical features and immunohistochemical changes of pituitary apoplexy.

The clinical features of 426 pituitary adenomas were retrospectively analyzed, focusing on the factors that affect the development of pituitary apoplexy. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to define the different hormone types of the tumors and the expression of various immunologic targets, including the pituitary tumor transforming gene, basic fibroblast growth factor-2, matrix metalloproteinase-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Of the 426 patients, 83 presented with pituitary apoplexy (19.
