Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a global health challenge necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. There is an increasing trend toward the clinical application of integrative Chinese medicine (CM) and Western medicine approaches. Chinese herbal monomers and formulations exert enhanced antitumor effects by modulating multiple signaling pathways in tumor cells, including inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, suppressing angiogenesis, reversing multidrug resistance, inhibiting metastasis, and regulating immunity. The synergistic effects of CM with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and nanovectors provide a comprehensive framework for CRC treatment. CM can mitigate drug toxicity, improve immune function, control tumor progression, alleviate clinical symptoms, and improve patients' survival and quality of life. This review summarizes the key mechanisms and therapeutic strategies of CM in CRC, highlighting its clinical significance. The potential for CM and combination with conventional treatment modalities is emphasized, providing valuable insights for future research and clinical practice.

Flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation versus a GnRH antagonist protocol in predicted suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles: a randomized non-inferiority trial.
Hum Reprod

Study Question: Are live birth rates (LBRs) per woman following flexible progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (fPPOS) treatment non-inferior to LBRs per woman following the conventional GnRH-antagonist protocol in expected suboptimal responders undergoing freeze-all cycles in assisted reproduction treatment?
Summary Answer: In women expected to have a suboptimal response, the 12-month likelihood of live birth with the fPPOS treatment did not achieve the non-inferiority criteria when compared to the standard GnRH antagonist protocol for IVF/ICSI treatment with a freeze-all strategy.
What Is Known Already: The standard PPOS protocol is effective for ovarian stimulation, where medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is conventionally administered in the early follicular phase for ovulatory suppression. Recent retrospective cohort studies on donor cycles have shown the potential to prevent premature ovulation and maintain oocyte yields by delaying the administration of MPA until the midcycle (referred to as fPPOS), similar to GnRH antagonist injections.

Background: Dialysis Access (DA) stenosis impacts hemodialysis efficiency and patient health, necessitating exams for early lesion detection. Ultrasound is widely used due to its non-invasive, cost-effective nature. Assessing all patients in large hemodialysis facilities strains resources and relies on operator expertise.

The incidence of neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK) fusion uterine sarcoma is extremely low, and reports have been mostly focused on cases localized to the cervix. So far, only 4 cases have been reported of the uterine corpus. In this study, we reported a case of NTRK fusion corpus sarcoma.

Drug resistance of cancers remains a major obstacle due to limited therapeutics. Lysosome targeting is an effective method for overcoming drug resistance in cancer cells. St-N (ent-13-hydroxy-15-kaurene-19-acid N-methylpiperazine ethyl ester) is a novel alkaline stevioside derivative with an amine group.
