Management of chylothorax after retrocrural lymphadectomy in a patient with ovarian cancer: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: With the widespread use of positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT), a significantly greater proportion of patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC) are now diagnosed with superior renal-vein lymph node metastases involving retrocrural and mediastinal nodes. To the authors' knowledge, retrocrural lymphadenectomy has not yet been reported in patients with OC. The authors performed retrocrural lymph node resection in a patient with ovarian cancer.

Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC3 Aggravates Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis by Targeting S-Palmitoylated IRHOM2.

Underestimation of the complexity of pathogenesis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) significantly encumbers development of new drugs and targeted therapy strategies. Inactive rhomboid protein 2 (IRHOM2) has a multifunctional role in regulating inflammation, cell survival, and immunoreaction. Although cytokines and chemokines promote IRHOM2 trafficking or cooperate with partner factors by phosphorylation or ubiquitin ligases-mediated ubiquitination to perform physiological process, it remains unknown whether other regulators induce IRHOM2 activation via different mechanisms in NASH progression.

TIPE2 acts as a tumor suppressor and correlates with tumor microenvironment immunity in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the deadliest gynecologic cancers. The etiology of EOC has still not been elucidated thoroughly. Tumor necrosis factor--induced protein 8-like2 (TNFAIP8L2, TIPE2), an important regulator of inflammation and immune homeostasis, plays a critical role in the progression of various cancers.

LPCAT1 functions as an oncogene in cervical cancer through mediating JAK2/STAT3 signaling.

Cervical cancer is a major gynecological tumor worldwide. Unfortunately, the molecular mechanisms involved in cervical cancer tumorigenesis still requires more clarification. Lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1), an enzyme involved in phosphatidylcholine metabolism, has been reported to regulate the proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and recurrence of malignancies.

Camrelizumab (SHR-1210) with carboplatin and albumin-binding paclitaxel in patients with metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer: An open-label, phase 2 trial.

Aims: This study evaluates the safety and preliminary antitumor efficacy of camrelizumab with albumin-binding paclitaxel and cisplatin as first-line therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical carcinoma.

Methods And Material: In this phase 2, open-label, prospective study, 35 patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical carcinoma with no previous systemic chemotherapy were included. The patients were treated with a maximum of six cycles of camrelizumab on day 1, albumin-binding paclitaxel, and carboplatin on day 2, every 3 weeks, followed by camrelizumab once every 3 weeks.

Correlations between alterations of T-helper 17 cells and treatment efficacy after concurrent radiochemotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer (stage IIB-IIIB): a 3-year prospective study.

Background: Recently, T-helper 17 (Th17) cells have been proved to play an important role in promoting cervical cancer. But, till now, few study has been carried out to understand the involvement of these cells in efficacy of anti-tumor treatments. This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the percentage of circulating Th17 cells and related cytokines in locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) patients before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) and to analyze the correlations between the alterations in Th17 cells and treatment efficacy.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer via CXCL12/CXCR4 axis.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are closely related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and chemoresistance in various cancers. Experiments and retrospective studies were applied to explore the role of CAFs in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We found that CXCL12 expression was significantly increased in interstitial CAFs by immunofluorescence.

L1CAM promotes epithelial to mesenchymal transition and formation of cancer initiating cells in human endometrial cancer.

Identification of novel factors critical for epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer initiating cell (CIC) formation may aid in the identification of novel therapeutics for the treatment of endometrial cancer. The present study demonstrated that L1 cell adhesion molecule (CAM) is critical for EMT and formation of CICs in endometrial cancer. Overexpression of L1CAM may promote EMT with increased formation of CICs in HEC-1A endometrial cancer cells.

Antibody fragment-armed mesoporous silica nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of bevacizumab in ovarian cancer cells.

In order to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and intracellular concentration of bevacizumab (BVC), we have designed a novel tumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1)/endosialin (Ab-/scFv)-conjugated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) to target ovarian cancer cell. The Ab-/scFv-conjugated MSN were prepared by the conjugation of amine functional group of antibody of the carboxyl group of MSN. The resultant MSN was nanosized, spherical shaped, and exhibited a controlled release phenomenon in pH 7.
