Diagnostic Performance of O-RADS US (Version 2019 and Version 2022) Incorporating Acoustic Shadowing by Junior Radiologists: Analyzing 1061 Adnexal Masses.

Introduction: Acoustic shadowing is an important benign ultrasound (US) feature for adnexal masses (AMs). To validate the diagnostic performance and interobserver agreement of the 2019 version and 2022 version of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Ultrasound (O-RADS US) and ascertain whether adding acoustic shadowing to O-RADS US v2019 as a benign ultrasound feature can enhance its diagnostic efficacy among junior radiologist.

Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive women with suspected adnexal masses who underwent ultrasound examinations between September 2022 and January 2024.

Imaging features, clinical characteristics and neonatal outcomes of pregnancy luteoma: A case series and literature review.

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the imaging features, clinical characteristics and neonatal outcomes of pregnancy luteoma.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with pregnancy luteoma admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2003 and December 2022. We recorded their imaging features, clinical characteristics and neonatal outcomes.

Comparisons of foramen ovale flap in the fetuses with true and false positive diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta.

Background: Accurate diagnosis of coaractation of aorta (CoA) remains challenging because of its relatively low sensitivity and specificity. It is difficult to distinguish true CoA from a normal physiological right-sided dominance or ventricular discrepancy caused by intracardiac minor anomalies. Redundant foramen ovale flap (RFOF) may cause ventricular disproportion.

The indicator of clinical outcomes for patients with heterotopic pregnancy following in-vitro fertilization with embryo transfer.

Objective: To explore the early predictors for pregnancy outcomes in patients with heterotopic pregnancy (HP) following in-vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET).

Material And Methods: This retrospective study reviewed 81 patients with HP following IVF-ET in our institution between January 2003 and September 2017. The relationships between clinical outcomes and general characteristics, sonographic features and different management options were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.

The oncogenic Golgi phosphoprotein 3 like overexpression is associated with cisplatin resistance in ovarian carcinoma and activating the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Background: Chemo-resistance is a leading cause of tumor relapse and treatment failure in patients with ovarian cancer. The identification of effective strategies to overcome drug resistance will have a significant clinical impact on the disease.

Methods: The protein and mRNA expression of GOLPH3L in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient tissues were determined using Real-time PCR and Western blot, respectively.

CPE overexpression is correlated with pelvic lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

Purpose: Elevated carboxypeptidase E (CPE) levels play crucial roles in tumorigenesis and metastasis. This study investigated the expression and clinicopathological significance of CPE in early-stage cervical cancer.

Methods: Elevated carboxypeptidase E expression was analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting in normal cervical tissue, cervical cancer cell lines, and in cervical cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues (ANTs) from the same patient.

Optimal cytoreductive surgery for underlying ovarian cancer associated with deep venous thrombosis without placement of inferior vena cava filter: A case report and literature review.

Ovarian cancer associated with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is an uncommon, potentially life-threatening condition. The primary therapeutic strategy for the treatment of this condition is up-front primary cytoreductive surgery, with placement of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter prior to surgery to prevent fatal pulmonary embolism. The present study describes the case of a 49-year-old female, who presented with DVT unresponsive to anticoagulant therapy in the lower extremities prior to the diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
