Correlation analysis of vaginal microecology and different types of human papillomavirus infection: a study conducted at a hospital in northwest China.

Background: Vaginal microecology has a definite influence on human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and clearance, but the specific correlation is still controversial. This research aimed to investigate the differences in the vaginal microenvironment of different types of HPV infection and also provide data supporting clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Methods: According to strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, the case data of 2,358 female patients who underwent vaginal microecology and HPV-DNA tests at the same time in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from May 2021 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Relationship Between Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy and Log Odds of Positive Lymph Nodes and Their Prognostic Role in Advanced Ovarian Cancer Patients With Optimal Cytoreductive Surgery.

Purpose: To analyze the relationship between neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS), as well as their prognostic role in advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) patients with optimal cytoreductive surgery.

Patients And Methods: From the SEER database during 2010-2016, we identified 1,012 AOC patients with optimal cytoreductive surgery. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify the relationship between NACT and LODDS.

Women With Ovarian Cancer and With Fertility Preservation: A Survival Analysis Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Database and Construction of Nomograms to Predict Cancer-Specific Survival.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the risk and prognostic factors of ovarian cancer (OC) in women having fertility-sparing surgery, as well as survival outcomes of those with stage I epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We also determined the effect of chemotherapy in OC treatment and used multiple independent risk factors to establish a prognostic nomogram model for patients with stage I EOC.

Patients And Methods: Individuals with OC and with fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) between 1998 and 2016 were identified in the SEER database.

[Physiological response and salt-tolerance of Gleditsia microphylla under NaCl stress].

In order to exploit the salt-tolerance ability and mechanism of Gleditsia microphylla, the plant growth, cell membrane permeability, the activities of cell protective enzymes, and the distri- butions of Na+ and K+ in different tissues were investigated under various NaCl stress (0.053%, 0.15%, 0.
