Photosynthetic electron transport is carried out by the electron carrier, plastoquinone (PQ). Recently, another form of PQ, acylplastoquinol (APQ), was discovered in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Synechocystis), but its physiological function in photosynthesis is unclear.

Methods: The authors analyzed cases from their institution between 1991 and 2023 in which patients underwent surgery and PWC. The study included 62 patients who had cervical GAS (1991-2023; including seven patients with adenocarcinoma in situ and 26, 15, nine, and five patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics 2018 stage I, II, III, and IV disease, respectively) and 100 patients who had usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (2007-2023; including 65, 15, and 20 patients with stage I, II, and III disease, respectively).
Background: Ovarian mesonephric-like adenocarcinoma (MLA) is a newly described histological type known for its aggressive behavior. This study aims to determine the frequency of ovarian MLA, review the existing literature, and elucidate its clinicopathological characteristics, including the potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the pathological diagnoses of 501 primary ovarian cancer surgical cases at our institution from 2010 to 2023.
Aims: This study identified the distinct magnetic resonance imaging findings of cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) that can help differentiate it from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA) and reveal the radiologic-pathologic correlation.
Materials And Methods: All consecutive patients with cervical GAS treated at our hospital from November 2009 to August 2021 were included. The SCC and UEA cases were considered controls.
Article Synopsis
- Vulvar intestinal adenocarcinoma is a rare type of cancer, and the best outcome is linked to complete removal of the tumor, though treatments can be unclear due to its rarity.
- A case study describes a 63-year-old woman diagnosed with a primary vulvar tumor that was thought to invade the rectum and spread to lymph nodes.
- The medical team successfully performed a laparoscopic procedure that combined pelvic exenteration with radical vulvectomy and lymph node removal, showing that minimally invasive techniques can be effective when the cancer is operable.
