In recent years, the increase in environmental pollutants has been one of the most important factors threatening human and environmental health. Arsenic, a naturally occurring element found in soil, water, and air, easily enters the human body and leads to many metabolic disorders. In this study, we focused on the possible protective effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against sodium arsenite (As)-induced toxic effects on embryonic fibroblast cells.

Introduction: The ghrelin system, which generates the appetite hormone, is harmed by obesity, a problem of worldwide public health. An efficient way to cure obesity is through bariatric surgery. This randomized controlled study's objective was to assess preoperative diet-related DNA methylation of Ghrelin (GHRL) levels in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Objective: The main feature of adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCT) is their capacity to secrete hormones, with nearly all of them capable of synthesizing oestradiol. The primary goal of this study is to identify synchronized endometrial pathologies, particularly endometrial cancer, in AGCT patients who had undergone a hysterectomy.

Materials And Methods: The study cohort comprised retrospectively of 316 AGCT patients from 10 tertiary gynecological oncology centers.

Aim: To evaluate whether the recurrence rates, recurrence patterns, and survival outcomes differed according to the primary site of the tumor in patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) and uterine serous carcinoma (USC).

Methods: The population of this multicenter retrospective study consisted of patients who had USC or HGSOC. Progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) estimates were determined using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates clinical, surgical, and pathological factors in patients with stage 1C adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCT), focusing on the role of adjuvant therapy in recurrence and survival rates.
  • Out of 415 patients treated, 63 met the criteria for stage 1C AGCT, and comparisons were made between those receiving adjuvant chemotherapy and those who did not, measuring disease-free survival (DFS) outcomes.
  • Findings showed that adjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly affect DFS or overall survival, indicating a need for further multicentric and randomized studies to validate these conclusions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic factors for and determine the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) on oncologic outcome in stage IVB pure serous endometrial carcinoma patients who received taxane and platinum. Forty-two patients with 2009 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IVB uterine serous carcinoma were enrolled from six gynecologic oncology centers and a study group was created. The study group had a 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) of 32% and 2-year disease-specific survival (DSS) of 73%.

In this retrospective study, patients with epithelial gynaecologic cancer with pulmonary recurrence (PR) were evaluated from five national gynaecologic oncology clinics. Patients with a diagnosis of primary endometrial, ovarian/fallopian tube/peritoneal, cervical or vaginal/vulvar tumours who developed an initial PR were included in the study A total of 122 patients were included in the study. The median follow-up time after recurrence was 7.

Reliable sensory discrimination must arise from high-fidelity neural representations and communication between brain areas. However, how neocortical sensory processing overcomes the substantial variability of neuronal sensory responses remains undetermined. Here we imaged neuronal activity in eight neocortical areas concurrently and over five days in mice performing a visual discrimination task, yielding longitudinal recordings of more than 21,000 neurons.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study evaluated how effective the sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping method is in diagnosing high-risk endometrial cancer in 244 patients with specific tumor types and characteristics.
  • - Results showed that 91% of patients had at least one SLN detected, with high sensitivity (81.8%) and low false-negative rates (18.2%), which improved significantly with the SLN algorithm applied.
  • - The findings suggest that the SLN mapping approach is highly accurate for detecting metastases, particularly in high-grade tumors, but further long-term studies are needed before it can be widely adopted as standard care.

Herein, we describe the simulation of a novel flow-electrical-split flow thin (Fl-El-SPLITT) separation device and validate it using existing theory and experimentation for the first time using polystyrene particles of 28 and 1000 nm diameters. The fraction of particles exiting selected ports with DC El-SPLITT is predicted with existing theory, but the theory does not include AC fields, nor does it incorporate the use of crossflows. Using DC fields the El-SPLITT simulation and theory calculated transition points result in the same values.

Boron contamination in water resources (especially drinking waters and agricultural land) is a major problem for the ecosystem. In this study, a novel synthesized chitosan/functionalized-SWCNT-COOH was prepared to separate boron (as boric acid) from aqueous solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that SWCNT was dispersed in chitosan homogenously.

Presented herein is the only case in literature with the synchronous development of endometrioid-type endometrium cancer and endometrioid carcinoma originating from the endometriosis foci in a scar tissue. A 44-year-old female patient presented with complaints of abnormal uterine bleeding, swelling at the rectus muscle level in the abdominal wall, and cyclic pain close to the old cesarean section incision scar. Pathological findings of the rectus muscle and endometrial biopsies revealed endometrioid adenocarcinoma (grades 2 and 1, respectively).

Ovarian cancer (OC) is the major cause of gynecologic cancer deaths and relapse is common despite advances in surgery and systemic chemotherapy. Therefore, novel treatments are required to improve long-term outcomes of the disease. Efficacy of immunotherapy was demonstrated in many tumors and it has been since incorporated into clinical practice for them.

Superparamagnetic colloidal particles can be reversibly assembled into wheel-like structures called microwheels (μwheels), which roll on surfaces due to friction and can be driven at user-controlled speeds and directions using rotating magnetic fields. Here, we describe the hardware and software to create and control the magnetic fields that assemble and direct μwheel motion and the optics to visualize them. Motivated by portability, adaptability, and low-cost, an extruded aluminum heat-dissipating frame incorporating open optics and audio speaker coils outfitted with high magnetic permeability cores was constructed.
