Searching for new energy source is one of the most important projects faced by the global, while the most ideal new energy source is solar cell. Near infrared quantum cutting luminescence method can doubly transfer large energy photon which is not sensitive to Si or Ge solar cell to small energy photon which is sensitive to Si or Ge solar cell. It can resolve the spectral mismatch problem and largely enhance solar cell efficiency.

Ovarian yolk sac tumors (YSTs) usually occur in the young women and have been rarely documented in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. The different age distribution supposes their complex nomenclature and histogenesis. We report a case of bilateral ovarian epithelial carcinoma with right ovarian YST component in a postmenopausal woman.

Methods: Nine EC patients of stage I a and 21 CAH patients aged under 40 years who desired childbearing and retaining their fertility were enrolled into this study. All patients were given a daily oral high-dose of progestin with duration of treatment ranging from 6 to 9 months.

Objective: To study the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of recurrent Müllerian adenofibroma (MAF) of the uterus.
Methods: Clinicopathologic information of 7 cases of recurrent MAF of uterus was retrieved from January 1992 to April 2006 and compared with 12 cases of MAF without recurrence and 14 cases of low-grade Müllerian adenosarcoma (MAS). EnVision immunohistochemistry of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), smooth muscle actin (SMA), CD10, Ki-67 and p53 were performed in all cases.
To date, two maternal-effect genes have been shown to play causal roles in recurrent hydatidiform moles (RHMs). NLRP7, a major gene for this condition, codes for a nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor and is mutated in 48 to 60% of patients with RHMs. KHDC3L is a recently identified gene that is mutated in 14% of NLRP7-negative patients.

Methods: The medical records and histopathologic slides of 83 women diagnosed with stage I a1 squamous cervical carcinoma after cervical conization undergoing subsequent hysterectomy at our hospital between January 2003 and December 2007 were reviewed. The correlations between the presence of residual lesions and clinicopathological features were analyzed.

Objective: To assess the clinicopathologic characteristics of cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN) and to evaluate the usefulness of EnVision immunohistochemistry of various markers in identifying early invasive cervical adenocarcinoma (ICA) and its precursor lesions.
Methods: Clinical and pathological characteristics of 80 cases of high grade CGIN (HCGIN), 20 ICA, and 20 cervicitis were reviewed along with immunohistochemical studies of p16, Ki-67, CEA, CA125 and bcl-2.
Results: The clinical features of HCGIN were similar to those of high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).

A human endometrial explant system was used to study the effects of low-dose mifepristone (65 nmol/L and 200 nmol/L) on expression of the water channel family aquaporins, aquaporin-1 and aquaporin-2 (AQP1/AQP2), at the time of implantation.
Study Design: Endometrial samples from 17 normally cycling patients at the "window of implantation" were treated with different concentrations of mifepristone.
We report 2 unusual cases of gestational trophoblastic disease from chorionic-type intermediate trophoblastic cells after a Cesarean section. A 32-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of vaginal bleeding, while a 41-year-old woman presented with a pelvic mass. Both patients had cystic lesions with a fistula formation beneath their Cesarean scars in the anterior uterine isthmus.

In both formamide and water, the nanocomposites had a homogenous structure with a basal spacing of ∼1.7 nm, showing the configuration of OBA(2-) was vertical to the LDH layers; however, with a decrease in water content after drying, the structure changed to a staging with a basal spacing of 2.

Methods: All 34 cases of pelvic high-grade serous carcinoma with clear fimbria were evaluated from January 2009 to June 2010, including ovarian carcinoma (n = 26), tubal carcinoma (n = 7) and peritoneal carcinoma (n = 1). Among of these ovarian carcinomas, 12 cases were surface deposits and the other 14 cases within ovarian parenchyma.
Background: The management of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance/low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (ASCUS/LSIL) is still controversial and it is advisable to make a triage for these two cytological abnormalities. P16(INK4) (P16) has been shown to be a potential biomarker for predicting high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cervical cancer. The aim of the study was to determine the value of P16 expression by immunostaining method compared with high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) DNA test in the triage of ASCUS/LSIL women.
