Article Abstract
Objective: Sildenafil citrate (SC) could promote uterine lining development, leading to successful embryo implantation. Due to the low oral bioavailability of the first-pass elimination of SC, it is necessary to develop a gel for vaginal administration to improve the efficacy.
Methods: A vaginal gel was prepared using the cold method to increase the retention of SC in the uterus, which allows for prolonged contact between SC and the vaginal mucosa. A poloxamer-based thermosensitive gel containing SC (SC-Tsgel) and an HPMC-based standard gel containing SC (SC-Cogel) were prepared. The rheological properties, drug release, and retention in the uterus of SC-Tsgel and SC-Cogel were compared.
Results: The gel formulations significantly prolonged the time it took for drugs to be released following a release study. SC-Tsgel and SC-Cogel administered vaginally increased the duration of drug administration compared to SC solutions injected through the tail vein. Nevertheless, compared with tail vein injection of SC solutions or vaginal administration of the SC-Cogel, the retention of SC in the uterus was increased significantly after vaginal administration of the SC-Tsgel.
Conclusions: Novel formulations of SC prepared with poloxamer 407 show promise as vaginal medication preparations for the management of a thin endometrium.

Bisphenol AF (BPAF), a substitute for bisphenol A (BPA), is frequently found in the environment and daily necessities and has garnered significant attention due to its endocrine-disrupting effects. Uterus is a potential target of BPA while more evidences about BPAF are needed, especially at human-relevant levels. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of BPAF exposure with realistic human exposure pathway and dosage on the uterus, as well as to explore its molecular mechanisms through transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) and alternative splicing (AS) analysis.

Introduction And Importance: Yolk sac tumor (YST) is a rare germ cell malignancies that occasionally emerge in unexpected extragonadal sites, complicating early recognition and diagnosis. When arising in the vagina, YST may present with misleading symptoms and delayed recognition, given its rarity and concealed anatomical site.
Case Presentation: We present a case of vaginal YST involving a one-year-old girl who presented with prolonged vaginal bleeding and urinary retention.

The present case report describes the successful surgical treatment of a rare case of a giant cervical leiomyoma of the uterus associated with bilateral ureterohydronephrosis and the formation of a retroperitoneal perinephric urinoma in the left kidney. A 51-year-old patient presented with urinary retention, constipation, and lower abdominal pain radiating mainly to the lumbar region. A clinical examination revealed a small amount of vaginal bleeding, with the uterine fundus palpable ~2 cm below the navel.
