Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is currently the most common malignant tumour in the female reproductive tract, and paclitaxel (PTX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent, but tumour cell resistance will seriously affect the therapeutic efficacy of PTX. Nanoparticle human serum albumin-bound paclitaxel (Nano-HSA-PTX) is a novel drug delivery modality that may have superior effects to PTX alone.

Objective: To clarify the effect of Nano-HSA-PTX on cervical carcinoma (CC) cells and the underlying mechanisms.

Cervical cancer is a significant global health burden, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms to improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In this study, we conducted an in-depth bioinformatics analysis of cervical cancer using a high-throughput microarray dataset, GSE9750. Through robust screening and selection, we identified 1633 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with cervical cancer.

In this study, to increase the accumulation of MTX in the tumor site and reduce the toxicity to normal tissues by MA, a novel nano-drug delivery system comprised of hyaluronic acid (HA)-mangiferin (MA)-methotrexate (MTX) (HA-MA-MTX) was developed by a self-assembly strategy. The advantage of the nano-drug delivery system is that MTX can be used as a tumor-targeting ligand of the folate receptor (FA), HA can be used as another tumor-targeting ligand of the CD44 receptor, and MA serves as an anti-inflammatory agent. HNMR and FT-IR results confirmed that HA, MA, and MTX were well coupled together by the ester bond.

Menopause is a period during which women undergo dramatic hormonal changes. These changes lead to physical and mental discomfort, are greatly afflictive, and critically affect women's lives. However, the current safe and effective management measures for women undergoing menopause are insufficient.

Objective: Trichomoniasis is a common sexually-transmitted disease that is associated with increased perinatal morbidity and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission. This study aimed to develop a Metronidazole-loaded nanoparticulate thermoreversible gel for gynecological infection of ().

Methods: The optimized nanoparticulate formulation was used in thermoreversible gel and characterized for physico-chemical properties, antiparasitic activity, and efficacy in the BALB/c mouse model.

The rate of obesity is rapidly increasing and has become a health and economic burden worldwide. As recent studies have revealed that the gut microbiota is closely linked to obesity, researchers have used various approaches to modulate the gut microbiota to treat the condition. Dietary composition and energy intake strongly affect the composition and function of the gut microbiota.
