RESUMO

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a major cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. Due to the occult onset of OC, its nonspecific clinical symptoms in the early phase, and a lack of effective early diagnostic tools, most OC patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage. In this study, shallow whole-genome sequencing was utilized to characterize fragmentomics features of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in OC patients. By applying a machine learning model, multiclass fragmentomics data achieved a mean area under the curve (AUC) of 0.97 (95% CI 0.962-0.976) for diagnosing OC. OC scores derived from this model strongly correlated with the disease stage. Further comparative analysis of OC scores illustrated that the fragmentomics-based technology provided additional clinical benefits over the traditional serum biomarkers cancer antigen 125 (CA125) and the Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm (ROMA) index. In conclusion, fragmentomics features in ctDNA are potential biomarkers for the accurate diagnosis of OC.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study investigated the clinicopathological features and surgical procedures of adnexal masses with abdominal pain in pediatric and adolescent patients. Our objective was to better define the clinical presentation of adnexal torsion and to distinguish characteristics of those with torsion and those with an alternate diagnosis. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of 212 pediatric and adolescent patients was performed who admitted for abdominal pain and presenting with an adnexal mass between March 2012 to December 2019.Medical records were reviewed for age at operation, including presentation of symptoms and signs; the levels of tumor markers; imaging examinations; pathologic findings; the size of masses; treatment; and outcome. Data management and descriptive analyses were performed using SPSS 26.0. RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 14.5 ± 3.6 years at the operation. 126 (59.4%, 126/212) patients presented with an abrupt onset of abdominal pain. A total of 82.1% (174/212) of the participants underwent adnexal conservative surgery. 179 (84.5%, 179/212) patients underwent laparoscopic surgery with an average tumor size of 7.7 ± 3.4 cm, while 33 patients ( 15.6%, 33/212) underwent laparotomy. Rupture of mass and ectopic pregnancy accounted for 7.5% (16/212) and 0.9%(2/212), respectively. Torsion was responsible for 36.8% (78/212) of all patients. Among the patients with torsion, the symptom of nausea and vomiting was more common among girls without torsion (P < 0.0001). 88.5% of the girls with torsion had acute onset of abdominal pain, while 92.3% had persistent pain that could not be relieved or occurred repeatedly, which significantly higher than that in the patients without torsion (P < 0.001). 69.2% of patients with torsion had fixed pain sites, compared with 42.2% in patients without torsion (P < 0.001). 88.5% of girls with torsion had an ovarian cyst/mass ≥ 5 cm, compared with 75.0% in girls without torsion (P = 0.038). 66.7% of girls underwent ovary-preserving surgery, compared with 92.2% in patients without torsion. The most common pathologic types were mature teratoma and simple cyst, accounting for 29.4% and 25.6%, respectively. The multivariate analyses confirmed that mass size greater than 5 cm (OR 4.134, 95% CI: 1.349-12.669,P = 0.013), acute onset pain (OR 24.150,95%CI: 8.398-69.444,P = 0.000), persistent or recurrent pain (OR 15.911,95%CI: 6.164-41.075,P = 0.000) were significantly associated with increased risk of torsion. CONCLUSIONS: Torsion which is a relatively rare event in the pediatric population was not an uncommon condition and responsible for more than one third of all pediatric and adolescent patients presented with adnexal masses and abdominal pain. Pain assessment in children and adolescents is important to distinguish characteristics of those with torsion and those with an alternate diagnosis.Thus, pediatric and adolescent patients particularly with a pelvic mass size greater than 5 cm, acute onset pain, persistent or recurrent pain have a benign cause and not missing the devastating condition that needs emergent attention. Thus, a strategy of earlier and liberal use of Diagnostic Laparoscopy (DL) may improve ovarian salvage.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the risk factors for post-operative recurrence or progression of intravenous leiomyomatosis and explore the impact of different treatment strategies on patient prognosis. METHODS: Patients with intravenous leiomyomatosis who underwent surgery from January 2011 to December 2020 and who were followed for ≥3 months were included. The primary endpoint was recurrence (for patients with complete resection) or progression (for patients with incomplete resection). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to analyse the factors affecting recurrence. RESULTS: A total of 114 patients were included. The median age was 45 years old (range 24-58). The tumors were confined to the uterus and para-uterine vessels in 48 cases (42.1%), while in 66 cases (57.9%) it involved large vessels (iliac vein or genital vein and/or proximal large veins). The median follow-up time was 24 months (range 3-132). Twenty-nine patients (25.4%) had recurrence or progression. The median recurrence or progression time was 16 months (range 3-60). Incomplete tumor resection (p=0.019), involvement of the iliac vein or genital vein (p=0.042), involvement of the inferior vena cava (p=0.025), and size of the pelvic tumor ≥15 cm (p=0.034) were risk factors for recurrence and progression. For intravenous leiomyomatosis confined to the uterus or para-uterine vessels, no post-operative recurrence after hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy occurred in this cohort. Compared with hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy, the risk of recurrence after tumorectomy (with the uterus and ovaries retained) was significantly greater (p=0.009), while the risk of recurrence after hysterectomy was not significantly increased (p=0.058). For intravenous leiomyomatosis involving the iliac vein/genital vein and the proximal veins, post-operative aromatase inhibitor treatment (p=0.89) and two-stage surgery (p=0.86) were not related to recurrence in patients with complete tumor resection. CONCLUSION: Incomplete tumor resection, extent of tumor lesions and size of the pelvic tumor were risk factors for post-operative recurrence and progression of intravenous leiomyomatosis.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This multicenter study aimed to investigate the disparity in clinical features and prognosis among different histopathologic subtypes of endocervical adenocarcinoma (EA) based on the 2014 World Health Organization (WHO) classification. METHODS: We retrieved and analyzed data from the Chinese Four C Database between 2004 and 2018. 672EA patients with radical hysterectomies from 32 institutions were retrospectively reviewed. Clinicopathologic characteristics, five-year overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were compared based on histological subtypes. RESULTS: The 5-year DFS and OS rates for usual, endometrioid, mucinous, gastric, villoglandular, clear cell/serous/mesonephric EAs were as follows: 81.3 %, 89.1 %, 63.0 %, 35.6 %, 88.6 %, 79.9 %, respectively (P < 0.0001); 87.4 %, 96.6 %, 74.7 %, 34.0 %, 96.7 %, 86.3 %, respectively (P < 0.0001). Gastric- and mucinous-type exhibited a higher frequency of lymph node metastasis, deep stromal invasion, uterine corpus invasion, and recurrence than the usual -type (recurrence rate:50.00 % vs 29.90 % vs 15.50 %, P < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed gastric-type was significantly associated with inferior DFS (HR,3.018; 95 % CI, 1.688-5.397; P < 0.0001) and OS(HR, 4.114; 95 % CI, 2.002-8.453; P < 0.0001). Furthermore, compared to the usual -type, mucinous-type demonstrated significantly worse DFS (HR, 1.773; 95 % CI,1.123-2.8; P = 0.014) and OS (HR, 2.168; 95 % CI,1.214-3.873; P = 0.009) whereas endometrioid-type was an identified as independent factor for better DFS (HR, 0.365; 95 % CI,0.143-0.928; P = 0.034). Villoglandular subtype displayed similar features and favorable prognosis as the usual type. CONCLUSIONS: Relevant clinical features and prognosis varied significantly among histological subtypes of EA, thus offering valuable guidance for the development of subtype-specific treatment strategies to optimize EA management.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: We previously reported that REBACIN effectively eliminates persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) infection. Here, we conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of REBACIN, taking into account factors such as specific hrHPV subtype and patient's age. METHODS: According to inclusion/exclusion criteria and participant willingness, 3252 patients were divided into REBACIN group while 249 patients into control group. Patients in REBACIN group received one course treatment of intravaginal administration of REBACIN while no treatment in control group. After drug withdrawal, participants in both groups were followed up. RESULTS: The clearance rate of persistent hrHPV infection in REBACIN group was 60.64%, compared to 20.08% in control group. Specifically, the clearance rates for single-type infection of HPV16 or HPV18 were 70.62% and 69.23%, respectively, which was higher than that of HPV52 (59.04%) or HPV58 (62.64%). In addition, the single, double, and triple/triple+ infections had a clearance rate of 65.70%, 53.31%, and 38.30%, respectively. Moreover, 1635 patients under 40 years old had a clearance rate of 65.14%, while it was 55.08% for 1447 patients over 40 years old. No serious adverse effects were found. CONCLUSION: This study confirmed that REBACIN can effectively and safely eliminate persistent hrHPV infection, which the clearance rate of HPV16/18 is higher than that of HPV52/58, the clearance rate of single-type infection is higher than that of multiple-type infections, and the clearance rate in young patients is higher than that in elder patients, providing a guidance for REBACIN application in clearing hrHPV persistent infection in real-world settings.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To compare the oncological outcomes of radical chemotherapy (R-CT), abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH), and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery (NACT) for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 stage IIIC cervical cancer, according to histological types: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC)/adenosquamous cell carcinoma (ASC). METHODS: A comparison of 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was performed for the SCC and AC/ASC subgroups for the three initial treatments, assessed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and validated using propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS: The study included 4086 patients: R-CT, n = 1913; ARH, n = 1529; and NACT, n = 644. AC/ASC had a lower survival rate (63.7%) than SCC (73.6%) and a higher recurrence and mortality rate (36.3% and 26.4%, respectively). The 5-year OS and DFS rates were different in the SCC group for R-CT, ARH, and NACT (OS: 69.8% vs. 80.8% vs. 73.0%, p < 0.001; DFS: 66.7% vs. 70.7% vs. 56.4%, p < 0.001), also in the AC/ASC group (OS: 46.1% vs. 70.6% vs. 55.6%, p < 0.001; DFS: 42.7% vs. 64.6% vs. 40.8%, p < 0.001). As for initial treatment, survival outcomes were worse for AC/ASC treated with R-CT and ARH than for SCC (both p < 0.05), with no group differences between the two treated with NACT. CONCLUSION: Initial treatment influences oncological prognosis for patients with FIGO 2018 stage IIIC cervical cancer. ARH is an alternative treatment for stage IIIC cervical SCC and AC/ASC, and NACT needs to be chosen with caution, moreover, R-CT for AC/ASC requires careful selection.

RESUMO

There remains a lack of effective and noninvasive methods for the diagnosis and prognosis prediction of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). Here, we investigated the possibility of serum-derived small extracellular vesicle (sEV) microRNAs (miRNAs) as potential biomarkers for distinguishing between benign and malignant adnexal masses and predicting the prognosis of EOC patients. A serum sEV miRNA model for identifying the EOC (sEVmiR-EOC) was successfully established in the training cohort. Furthermore, the sEVmiR-EOC model was confirmed in the testing cohort and validation cohort, demonstrating robust diagnostic accuracy. The sEVmiR-EOC model showed better performance than carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in discriminating patients with stage I EOC from benign patients. Using EOC samples and follow-up data, we identified miR-141-3p and miR-200c-3p as potential prognostic predictors. Finally, we confirmed the change of the sEVmiR-EOC RiskScore between the preoperative and postoperative samples and found that the sEVmiR-EOC model could predict the prognosis of EOC patients.

RESUMO

Introduction: Nerve injury is considered one of the causes of pelvic floor dysfunction. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation provides new possibilities for refractory degenerative diseases. This study aimed to explore the possibility and strategy of mesenchymal stem cells in treating pelvic floor dysfunction nerve injury. Methods: MSCs were isolated from human adipose tissue and cultured. A MSCs suspension (40 µL at 5 × 107/mL) was loaded on a gelatin scaffold. A rat model of anterior vaginal wall nerve injury was established by bilateral pudendal nerve denervation. The nerve tissue repair effect of mesenchymal stem cells transplanted into the anterior vaginal wall of a rat model was explored and compared in the following three groups: blank gelatin scaffold group (GS group), mesenchymal stem cell injection group (MSC group), and mesenchymal stem cells loaded on the gelatin scaffold group (MSC-GS group). Nerve fiber counting under a microscope and mRNA expression of neural markers were tested. Moreover, mesenchymal stem cells were induced into neural stem cells in vitro, and their therapeutic effect was explored. Results: Rat models of anterior vaginal wall nerve injury induced by bilateral pudendal nerve denervation showed a decreased number of nerve fibers in the anterior vaginal wall. qRT-PCR revealed that the content of neurons and nerve fibers in the rat model began to decrease 1 week after the operation and this could continue for 3 months. In vivo experiments showed that MSC transplantation improved the nerve content, and MSCs loaded on the gelatin scaffold had an even better effect. mRNA expression analysis demonstrated that MSCs loaded on gelatin scaffolds induced a higher and earlier gene expression of neuron-related markers. Induced neural stem cell transplantation was superior in improving the nerve content and upregulating the mRNA expression of neuron-related markers in the early stage. Conclusion: MSCs transplantation showed a promising repair capacity for nerve damage in the pelvic floor. The supporting role of gelatin scaffolds might promote and strengthen the nerve repair ability at an early stage. Preinduction schemes could provide an improved regenerative medicine strategy for innervation recovery and functional restoration in pelvic floor disorders in the future.

RESUMO

The two most prevalent subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Patients with OCCC have a poor prognosis than those with HGSC due to chemoresistance, implying the need for novel treatment target. In this study, we applied single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) together with bulk RNA-seq data from the GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus) database (the GSE189553 dataset) to characterize and compare tumor heterogeneity and cell-level evolution between OCCC and HGSC samples. To begin, we found that the smaller proportion of an epithelial OCCC cell subset in the G2/M phase might explain OCCC chemoresistance. Second, we identified a possible pathogenic OCCC epithelial cell subcluster that overexpresses LEFTY1. Third, novel biomarkers separating OCCC from HGSC were discovered and subsequently validated on a wide scale using immunohistochemistry. Amine oxidase copper containing 1 (AOC1) was preferentially expressed in OCCC over HGSC, while S100 calcium-binding protein A2 (S100A2) was detected less frequently in OCCC than in HGSC. In addition, we discovered that metabolic pathways were enriched in the epithelial compartment of the OCCC samples. In vitro experiments verified that inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation or glycolysis pathways exerted direct antitumor effects on both OCCC and HGSC cells, while targeting glutamine metabolism or ferroptosis greatly attenuated chemosensitivity only in OCCC cells. Finally, to determine whether there were any variations in immune cell subsets between OCCC and HGSC, data from scRNA-seq and mass cytometry were pooled for analysis. In summary, our work provides the first holistic insights into the cellular and molecular distinctions between OCCC and HGSC and is a valuable source for discovering new targets to leverage in clinical treatments to improve the poor prognosis of patients with OCCC.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: FIGO 2018 IIIC remains controversial for the heterogeneity of its prognoses. To ensure a better management of cervical cancer patients in Stage IIIC, a revision of the FIGO IIIC version classification is required according to local tumor size. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively enrolled cervical cancer patients of FIGO 2018 Stages I-IIIC who had undergone radical surgery or chemoradiotherapy. Based on the tumor factors from the Tumor Node Metastasis staging system, IIIC cases were divided into IIIC-T1, IIIC-T2a, IIIC-T2b, and IIIC-(T3a+T3b). Oncologcial outcomes of all stages were compared. RESULTS: A total of 63 926 cervical cancer cases were identified, among which 9452 fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. Kaplan-Meier pairwise analysis showed that: the oncology outcomes of I and IIA were significantly better than of IIB, IIIA+IIIB, and IIIC; the oncology outcome of IIIC-(T1-T2b) was significantly better than of IIIA+IIIB and IIIC-(T3a+T3b); no significant difference was noted between IIB and IIIC-(T1-T2b), or IIIC-(T3a+T3b) and IIIA+IIIB. Multivariate analysis indicated that, compared with IIIC-T1, Stages T2a, T2b, IIIA+IIIB and IIIC-(T3a+T3b) were associated with a higher risk of death and recurrence/death. There was no significant difference in the risk of death or recurrence/death between patients with IIIC-(T1-T2b) and IIB. Also, compared with IIB, IIIC-(T3a+T3b) was associated with a higher risk of death and recurrence/death. No significant differences in the risk of death and recurrence/death were noted between IIIC-(T3a+T3b) and IIIA+IIIB. CONCLUSIONS: In terms of oncology outcomes of the study, FIGO 2018 Stage IIIC of cervical cancer is unreasonable. Stages IIIC-T1, T2a, and T2b may be integrated as IIC, and it might be unnecessary for T3a/T3b cases to be subdivided by lymph node status.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinicopathological risk factors influencing parametrial involvement (PI) in stage IB cervical cancer patients and compare the oncological outcomes between Q-M type B radical hysterectomy (RH) group and Q-M type C RH group. METHODS: Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to explore the clinicopathological factors related to PI. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with stage IB cervical cancer who underwent Q-M type B or Q-M type C RH under different circumstances of PI were also compared before and after propensity score matching (1:1 matching). RESULTS: A total of 6358 patients were enrolled in this study. Depth of stromal invasion>1/2 (HR: 3.139, 95% CI: 1.550-6.360; P = 0.001), vaginal margin (+) (HR: 4.271, 95% CI: 1.368-13.156; P = 0.011), lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) (+) (HR: 2.238, 95% CI: 1.353-3.701; P = 0.002) and lymph node metastases (HR: 5.173, 95% CI: 3.091-8.658; P < 0.001) were associated with PI. Among the 6273 patients with negative PI, those in the Q-M type B RH group had a higher 5-year OS and DFS than those in the Q-M type C RH group before and after 1:1 matching. Among the 85 patients with positive PI, Q-M type C RH showed no survival benefits before and after 1:1 matching. CONCLUSION: Stage IB cervical cancer patients with no lymph node metastasis, LVSI(-) and depth of stromal invasion ≤1/2 may be considered for Q-M type B radical hysterectomy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To compare the oncological outcomes of patients with FIGO 2018 stage IIIC cervical cancer (CC) involving different local tumor factors who underwent abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH), neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery (NACT), or radical chemoradiotherapy (R-CT). METHODS: Based on tumor staging, patients with stage IIIC were divided into T1, T2a, T2b, and T3 groups. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to compare their overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of 5 years. RESULTS: We included 4,086 patients (1,117, 1,019, 869, and 1,081 in the T1, T2a, T2b, and T3 groups, respectively). In the T1 group, NACT was correlated with a decrease in OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.631, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.150-2.315, P = 0.006) and DFS (HR = 1.665, 95% CI: 1.255-2.182, P < 0.001) than ARH. ARH and NACT were not correlated with OS (P = 0.226 and P = 0.921) or DFS (P = 0.343 and P = 0.535) than R-CT. In the T2a group, NACT was correlated with a decrease in OS (HR = 1.454, 95% CI: 1.057-2.000, P = 0.021) and DFS (HR = 1.529, 95% CI: 1.185-1.974, P = 0.001) than ARH. ARH and NACT were not correlated with OS (P = 0.736 and P = 0.267) or DFS (P = 0.714 and P = 0.087) than R-CT. In the T2b group, NACT was correlated with a decrease in DFS (HR = 1.847, 95% CI: 1.347-2.532, P < 0.001) than R-CT nevertheless was not correlated with OS (P = 0.146); ARH was not correlated with OS (P = 0.056) and DFS (P = 0.676). In the T3 group, the OS rates of ARH (n = 10), NACT (n = 18), and R-CT (n = 1053) were 67.5%, 53.1%, and 64.7% (P = 0.941), and the DFS rates were 68.6%, 45.5%, and 61.1%, respectively (P = 0.761). CONCLUSION: R-CT oncological outcomes were not entirely superior to those of NACT or ARH under different local tumor factors with stage IIIC. NACT is not suitable for stage T1, T2a, and T2b. Nevertheless ARH is potentially applicable to stage T1, T2a, T2b and T3. The results of stage T3 require confirmation through further research due to disparity in case numbers in each subgroup.

RESUMO

The widespread prevalence of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and the paucity of ongoing treatments prompted us to develop a unique rat model combining ovariectomy and simulated vaginal delivery. We hypothesized that the tissue changes caused by low hormone levels and mechanical stretch could complement each other. Thus, the combined model can potentially mimic the collagen metabolism of vaginal wall tissue as well as mechanical stretch properties to complement disease progression in POP. Ovariectomy with sequential simulated vaginal delivery was performed on rats in the modeling group. Sham surgeries were performed as control. At 2, 4, and 12 weeks after modeling, the vaginal tissues of rats were evaluated by Masson's trichrome staining, Picro-Sirius red staining, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and uniaxial tensile tests. Compared to the control group, the vaginal tissues of the model rats showed an atrophic epithelial layer and loose collagen fibers. The smooth muscle fibers were ruptured, smaller in diameter, and disorganized. The ratio of collagen type I/III significantly increased, but the contents of both Collagen I and III decreased. The expression of metalloproteinases 2 and 9 in the tissues increased, and the expression of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases 1 and 2 decreased. The tangent modulus of the tissues was significantly increased in the model rats. We verified a novel method to establish a pelvic organ prolapse model in rats. This approach combined the advantages of low hormone levels and mechanical stretch effects.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare survival outcomes of different postoperative adjuvant therapies (PATs) for early-stage cervical cancer (ECC) patients with one intermediate-risk pathological factor (IPF). METHODS: A total of 2889 patients with stage IA1 to IIA2 cervical cancer were included in this study. Three PAT groups were identified, namely a no adjuvant therapy (NAT) group (n = 773), an adjuvant radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy (ART) group (n = 1648) and an adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) group (n = 468). Kaplan-Meier analysis and COX regression analysis were used to compare the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) among the three groups, before and after propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS: The recurrence and mortality rate rates in the NAT, ART and ACT groups were 9.2%, 8.6%, and 7.9%, respectively (p = 0.737). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated no significant differences in the NAT, ART, and ACT groups in 5-year OS rates (92.8% vs. 93.6% vs. 94.7%, p = 0.594) and DFS rates (88.7% vs. 89.6% vs. 90.5%, p = 0.772). Post-hoc tests yielded similar results, with no differences in 5-year OS and DFS (NAT vs. ART, before and after matching, p > 0.05); (NAT vs. ACT, before and after matching, p > 0.05); and (ACT vs. ART, before and after matching, p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, chemoradiotherapy, and chemotherapy are not associated with survival outcomes of ECC patients with one IPF. Considering the side effects and impact on patients' quality of life, the PATs should be carefully considered.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the 5-year oncological outcomes of laparoscopic/abdominal radical hysterectomy (LRH/ARH) in patients with cervical adenosquamous carcinoma at stage IA2 to IIA2 based on the 2009 or 2018 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging criteria. METHODS: Based on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer in China (Four C) database, Cox risk regression models were applied to analyze tumor prognosis treated with ARH/LRH in FIGO 2009 and 2018 IA2-IIA2 patients and stratified findings according to tumor diameter (≤4 and >4 cm subgroups). And to avoid bias, propensity score matching (PSM) was also used for the cohort study. RESULTS: Based on FIGO 2009 staging criteria (n = 474), there was no significant difference between the ARH and LRH groups in 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) or overall survival (OS). Lymph node metastasis was a risk factor for 5-year DFS in this stage. After PSM, lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) was an independent risk factor for 5-year OS in the tumors ≤4 cm subgroup. Based on FIGO2018 staging criteria (n = 322), cervical interstitial infiltration depth was an independent risk factor for 5-year OS in the total population and the tumor diameter ≤4 cm subgroup. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery was not a risk factor affecting the oncologic prognosis of adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix based on either FIGO 2009 or 2018 staging of stage IA2-IIA2. In addition, LRH may be considered for patients with early-stage cervical adenosquamous carcinoma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is the most important pathomechanism of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Fibroblasts are the key to ECM regulation. The passaging capacity of human vaginal wall fibroblasts (hVWFs) is limited in vitro . Here, we aimed to immortalize hVWFs through the introduction of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). METHODS: Primary cells were derived from the vaginal wall tissue of patients with POP. Cellular senescence was detected via senescence-associated ß-galactosidase staining. We employed a lentiviral transfection vector to stably express hTERT in hVWFs at passage 3, generating immortalized hVWFs (i-hVWFs). We then assessed cellular proliferation via the CCK-8 and EdU assays as well as cellular migration via wound healing assays. G-banded chromosome karyotypic analysis was performed to evaluate chromosomal karyotype stability. Finally, cellular tumorigenesis capacity was assessed in nude mice. A two-tailed Student's t test was used to compare differences between the two groups. RESULTS: Our results showed that senescence of primary hVWFs significantly increased from passage seven. From passage 11, hVWFs showed a significantly higher senescence percentage than i-hVWFs. During the continuous passage, i-hVWFs presented stability in proliferation, migration capacity, expression of ECM regulation-related genes, and chromosome karyotype. In vivo tumorigenesis was absent in i-hVWFs. CONCLUSIONS: The senescence of hVWFs significantly increased from the seventh passage, and we successfully used hTERT to immortalize hVWFs derived from patients with POP. Studies on POP that require a long-lived hVWF line will benefit from our technique.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that higher surgeon volume leads to improved perioperative outcomes for oncologic surgery; however, the effect of surgeon volumes on surgical outcomes might differ according to the surgical approach used. This paper attempts to evaluate the effect of surgeon volume on complications or cervical cancer in an abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH) cohort and laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) cohort. METHODS: We conducted a population-based retrospective study using the Major Surgical Complications of Cervical Cancer in China (MSCCCC) database to analyse patients who underwent radical hysterectomy (RH) from 2004 to 2016 at 42 hospitals. We estimated the annualized surgeon volumes in the ARH cohort and in the LRH cohort separately. The effect of the surgeon volume of ARH or LRH on surgical complications was examined using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS: In total, 22,684 patients who underwent RH for cervical cancer were identified. In the abdominal surgery cohort, the mean surgeon case volume increased from 2004 to 2013 (3.5 to 8.7 cases) and then decreased from 2013 to 2016 (8.7 to 4.9 cases). The mean surgeon case volume number of surgeons performing LRH increased from 1 to 12.1 cases between 2004 and 2016 (P < 0.01). In the abdominal surgery cohort, patients treated by intermediate-volume surgeons were more likely to experience postoperative complications (OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.11-2.15) than those treated by high-volume surgeons. In the laparoscopic surgery cohort, surgeon volume did not appear to influence the incidence of intraoperative or postoperative complications (P = 0.46; P = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS: The performance of ARH by intermediate-volume surgeons is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. However, surgeon volume may have no effect on intraoperative or postoperative complications after LRH.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To analyze the clinical characteristics of abdominal pregnancy, and to explore the diagnosis and prognosis of different treatment methods. METHODS: The cases of patients with abdominal pregnancy admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 1, 1989 and January 1, 2021, were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: The median age of 17 patients was 34 years (22-42 years); the median gestational duration was 57 days (from 41 days to 32 weeks). Among all 17 patients, 15 (88.24%) presented with abdominal pain. The implantation sites of the gestational sac included the bladder peritoneal reflection, anterior wall of the rectum, omentum, serous membrane of the uterus, and inside or on the surface of uterosacral ligament. In all, only 29.41% cases (5/17) were diagnosed before surgery. All 17 patients were treated via surgery. Further, 58.82% (10/17) patients recovered without complications, 29.41% (5/17) developed fever, 5.88% (1/17) underwent reoperation because of intra-abdominal bleeding, and 5.88% (1/17) developed double lower limb venous thrombosis. All 17 patients survived. CONCLUSION: The preoperative diagnosis rate of abdominal pregnancy is low. Planting sites in the pelvic peritoneum and pelvic organs are more common than the others. Laparoscopic surgery in the first trimester of pregnancy can achieve better therapeutic effects. However, the blood supply of the placenta should be fully evaluated before surgery. When it is expected that attempts to remove the placenta will cause fatal bleeding, the placenta can be left in place, but long-term close follow-up should be paid attention to.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To compare the long-term oncological outcome of neoadjuvant chemotherapy before radical surgery (NCRS) and definitive chemoradiotherapy (DR) for stage IB2 and IIA2 cervical squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: The clinical outcome of 480 patients with stage IB2 and IIA2 cervical cancer (308 clinical responders, 111 clinical non-responders, 61 unclear) who underwent NCRS (and subgroup assessments) were compared with those of 233 patients who underwent DR. RESULTS: The clinical response rate was 73.5% in the NCRS group. Multivariate COX regression analyses revealed that NCRS was not correlated with the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate (p = 0.067) or disease-free survival (DFS) rate (p = 0.249). In a subgroup of NCRS, the clinical response group was also shown to be a protective independent factor of 5 year OS rate compared to the DR group (aHR, 0.403; 95% CI, 0.209-0.777), but had no correlation with the 5 year DFS rate (p = 0.089). On the other hand, the clinical non-response group had no correlation with the 5 year OS rate (p = 0.780) or DFS rate (p = 0.669). CONCLUSION: Clinical responders who underwent NCRS exhibited a better oncological outcome compared to those who underwent DR.
