Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical efficacy of five therapeutic strategies in patients with CSP.
Materials And Methods: A total of 135 CSP patients were included and divided into five groups based on the treatment they received, including transvaginal resection (Group A), laparoscopic resection (Group B), uterine arterial embolization (UAE) combined with hysteroscopic curettage (Group C), UAE combined with uterine curettage (Group D), and hysteroscopic curettage (Group E). To investigate the clinical efficacy of these strategies, intraoperative bleeding, serum β-hCG levels and recovery time, menstruation recovery time, hormone levels at 1 month after treatment.
Results: Patients in group A had the lowest postoperative serum β-hCG levels, and the shortest recovery times of both serum β-hCG and menstruation, followed by patients in group B. Group C and D had small amount of blood loss. The hospital stays and costs were low in group E. In addition, the sex hormone levels showed no significant difference among the five groups.
Conclusion: Our results indicated that resection surgery and UAE have good curative effects, but high hospital costs in CSP treatment. The selection of an optimal treatment regimen for CSP should be carried out based on specific conditions of the patients.

Research into cancer treatment has been mainly focused on developing therapies to directly target cancer cells. Over the past decade, extensive studies have revealed critical roles of the tumour microenvironment (TME) in cancer initiation, progression, and drug resistance. Notably, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have emerged as one of the primary contributors in shaping TME, creating a favourable environment for cancer development.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) strategy for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients undergoing laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (LRNU).
Methods: 90 patients who received LRNU at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2018 and July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 43 in the ERAS group and 47 in the pre-ERAS group. The clinical features, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), and hospital expenditures of the two groups were compared via t-test, Mann-Whitney test, and Chi-square test.
Phage therapy as an alternative strategy for oral bacterial infections: a systematic review.

Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, 510515, China.
Background: Oral infectious diseases, such as dental caries, periodontitis and periapical periodontitis, are often complicated by causative bacterial biofilm formation and significantly impact human oral health and quality of life. Bacteriophage (phage) therapy has emerged as a potential alternative with successful applications in antimicrobial trials. While therapeutic use of phages has been considered as effective treatment of some infectious diseases, related research focusing on oral infectious diseases is few and lacks attention.
