Development and Applications of Organoids in Gynecological Diseases.

Organoids are rapidly self-organizing 3D in vitro cultures derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) or adult stem cells (ASCs) that possess disease-like characteristics with high success rates. Due to their ability to retain tissue structure, biological phenotypes, and genetic information, they have been utilized as a novel in vitro model for disease research. In recent years, scientists have established self-organizing 3D organoids for human endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and cervix by culturing stem cells with cytokines in 3D scaffolds.

Trogocytosis in CAR immune cell therapy: a key mechanism of tumor immune escape.

Immune cell therapy based on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology platform has been greatly developed. The types of CAR immune cell therapy have expanded from T cells to innate immune cells such as NK cells and macrophages, and the diseases treated have expanded from hematological malignancies to non-tumor fields such as infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. Among them, CAR-T and CAR-NK therapy have observed examples of rapid remission in approved clinical trials, but the efficacy is unstable and plagued by tumor resistance.

Current Status and Factors Influencing Mental Health Literacy in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study aimed to investigate the current status of mental health literacy and related influencing factors in patients with coronary heart disease. Four hundred and thirty-five patients with coronary heart disease were recruited in this survey. Data collection was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Mental Health Literacy Scale, Coronary Artery Disease Self-Management Scale, Social Support Rating Scale, and Coronary Heart Disease Self-Efficacy Scale.

Prolonged adhesiolysis to pregnancy interval is associated with placenta accreta spectrum in women with intrauterine adhesion.

Background: Both the trauma of endometrium and hysteroscopic adhesiolysis can lead to a high rate of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) in women with intrauterine adhesion (IUA). This study analysed the impact of time interval from adhesiolysis to pregnancy on PAS in IUA women.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with IUA who underwent adhesiolysis in Anhui Women and Children's Medical Centre between January 2016 and December 2020 were included in this case-series study.

The landscape of histone modification in organ fibrosis.

An increase in fibrous connective tissue and a decrease in parenchymal cells in organ tissues are the primary pathological alterations linked to organ fibrosis. If fibrosis is not treated, organ structure is destroyed, function can decline, or even fail, posing a serious risk to human life and health. Numerous organs develop fibrosis, and organ fibroproliferative illnesses account for almost 45% of patient deaths from various diseases in the industrialized world, as well as a major cause of disability and mortality in many other diseases.

CAR-T therapy for ovarian cancer: Recent advances and future directions.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common gynecological tumor with high mortality, which is difficult to control its progression with conventional treatments and is prone to recurrence. Recent studies have identified OC as an immunogenic tumor that can be recognized by the host immune system. Immunotherapy for OC is being evaluated, but approaches such as immune checkpoint inhibitors have limited efficacy, adoptive cell therapy is an alternative therapy, in which CAR(chimeric antigen receptor)-T therapy has been applied to the clinical treatment of hematological malignancies.

Pregnancy outcomes of monochorionic diamniotic and dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies conceived by assisted reproductive technology and conceived naturally: a study based on chorionic comparison.

Objective: To evaluate monochorionic diamniotic (MCDA) and dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART) and conceived naturally.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data on twin pregnancies conceived by ART from January 2015 to January 2022,and compared pregnancy outcomes of MCDA and DCDA twins conceived by ART with those of MCDA and DCDA twins conceived naturally, pregnancy outcomes between MCDA and DCDA twins conceived by ART, and pregnancy outcomes of DCT and TCT pregnancies reduced to DCDA pregnancies with those of DCDA pregnancies conceived naturally.

Result: MCDA pregnancies conceived by ART accounted for 4.

Pregnancy and obstetric outcomes of dichorionic triamniotic triplet pregnancies with selective foetal reduction after assisted reproductive technology.

Background: It is generally beneficial and recommended that dichorionic triamniotic (DCTA) triplet pregnancies be reduced to monochorionic (MC) twin or singleton pregnancies after assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, some infertile couples still have a firm desire to retain twins. For this reason, the best foetal reduction strategies need to be available for infertile couples and clinicians.
