An optimized robotic surgical technique for cervical cancer: investigating whether the use of the pulling robotic arm has better surgical outcomes.

Objective: The evidence for adopting the 3 robotic arm (RA) called the pulling RA rather than a uterine manipulator to manipulate the uterus in the robotic radical hysterectomy (RRH) for cervical cancer is still limited. We present a single-center retrospective experience comparing using the pulling RA to replace a uterine manipulator vs. using a uterine manipulator to manipulate the uterus in RRH.

Ovarian metastasis risk factors in endometrial carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of ovarian metastasis in endometrial carcinoma (EC) and analyze its risk factors and provide a theoretical basis for whether retention of the ovary in patients with EC.

Methods: A systematic search using synonyms of 'ovarian cancer' and 'metastasis' was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane database, Embase, Google Scholar, and WOS database. Meta-analysis was performed on 7 included studies, comprising 4281 clinical-stage I-IV EC patients.

Exosomal lncRNA NEAT1 from cancer-associated fibroblasts facilitates endometrial cancer progression via miR-26a/b-5p-mediated STAT3/YKL-40 signaling pathway.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts cells (CAFs) confer a rapid growth and metastasis ability of endometrial cancer (EC) via exosomes-mediated cellular communication. Long non-coding RNA nuclear enriched abundant transcript 1 (lncRNA NEAT1) drives the malignant phenotypes of EC cells. However, the role of exosomal NEAT1 from CAFs in EC progression remains ambiguous, which needs to be investigated.

Diagnostic value of Anti-Mullerian hormone in ovarian granulosa cell tumor: A meta-analysis.

Background: Granulosa cell tumor (GCT) is a rare type of ovarian malignancy with poor prognosis of recurrence. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) is a promising serum biomarker for early diagnosis GCT, therefore we assessed its accuracy and clinical value.

Methods: A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the diagnostic accuracy.

Insulin-like factor-2 receptor rs9456497 G genotype overrepresents in males of average population and its correlation with cardiovascular risks.

Objectives: To look at the possible effect of IGF2R rs9456497 on cardiovascular risks in a long-lived population.

Methods: IGF-2R rs9456497 was genotyped by iMLDR for 496 long-lived Zhuang Chinese (90-107 y/o) and their offspring (n = 723, 60-75 y/o) and healthy controls (n = 611, 60-75 y/o). Association analyses were then conducted among genotypes and cardiovascular risks.

Extract of Fructus Cannabis Ameliorates Learning and Memory Impairment Induced by D-Galactose in an Aging Rats Model.

Hempseed ( L.) has been used as a health food and folk medicine in China for centuries. In the present study, we sought to define the underlying mechanism by which the extract of Fructus Cannabis (EFC) protects against memory impairment induced by D-galactose in rats.
