The direction of the battery cathode, which produces alkali, is important in determining the severity of complications. Based on our investigation of the underlying mechanisms of these complications, we advocate the establishment of treatment guidelines for battery swallowing accidents.

Our study suggested that A2160 may be a useful biomarker to distinguish early-stage OCCC from endometrioma. This new biomarker can be potentially applied for the monitoring of endometrioma patients, making possible the early diagnosis of OCCC.

Adjuvant chemotherapy was insufficient to reduce the incidence of distant recurrence. The prognosis of patients recurred within regional LN and/or vagina was significantly better than that of patients with recurrence in other lesions because of treatment with surgery and/or radiotherapy. The disease-free interval was a significant prognostic factor for REC patients.

The monomer, 2-biphenylyl acrylate (BPA), was prepared and was polymerized and copolymerized with vinyl acetate (VAc), styrene and N-vinylpyrrolidone. The reactivity ratios of BPA (M1) with VAc were evaluated as r1=4.6+0.4 and r2=0.37+0.08. The polymers were hydrolyzed in methanol–phosphate buffer solution(pH 6 and 8), and the release rate of biphenyl-2-ol from the polymer was investigated.
