AI Article Synopsis
- Venous leiomyosarcomas are uncommon tumors, mostly starting in the inferior vena cava, with only two known cases from the ovarian vein.
- A 50-year-old woman diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma in her right ovarian vein received a radical en bloc surgical procedure to remove the tumor.
- The case includes a discussion of the patient’s specific clinical and pathological characteristics, as well as the treatment provided.
Article Abstract
Venous leiomyosarcomas are rare tumors, generally originating from the inferior vena cava. Only two cases of ovarian vein leiomyosarcoma have been reported thus far. Herein we report the case of a 50-year-old woman with a leiomyosarcoma of the right ovarian vein. The patient underwent radical en bloc extirpation of the tumor followed by radiation therapy. The clinicopathologic features and treatment are discussed.

Elevated plasma molybdenum level increases the risk of premature ovarian insufficiency through vascular endothelial injury.
Hum Reprod
January 2025
The International Peace Maternity and Child Health Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China.
Study Question: Is elevated plasma molybdenum level associated with increased risk for idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?
Summary Answer: Elevated plasma molybdenum level is associated with an increased risk of idiopathic POI through vascular endothelial injury and inhibition of granulosa cell proliferation.
What Is Known Already: Excessive molybdenum exposure has been associated with ovarian oxidative stress in animals but its role in the development of POI remains unknown.
Study Design, Size, Duration: Case-control study of 30 women with idiopathic POI and 31 controls enrolled from August 2018 to May 2019.

Objective: The study aims to elucidate clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics of female patients diagnosed with pelvic varicose veins (PVV) and to assess potential risk factors associated with incidences of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in this population.
Methods: Clinical and ultrasound data were retrospectively collected from female patients with PVV at Beijing Shijitan Hospital between December 2017 and October 2022. Patient cohorts were divided into two groups based on whether they had been experiencing non-periodic pelvic pain over six months, consistent with the symptoms of CPP.
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells improve the ovarian function through oxidative stress-mediated PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4/CHOP signaling in premature ovarian insufficiency mice.

The Affiliated Loudi Hospital, Hengyang Medical School, University of South China, Loudi, Hunan, 417000, China.
Background: Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a refractory disease that severely affects female fertility. The PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway is one of the classical pathways involved in the unfolded protein response to endoplasmic reticulum stress by regulating protein synthesis and promoting apoptosis. This study aimed to investigate the functional role and mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in the POI animal model through the PERK/eIF-2α/ATF4/CHOP pathway.

Background: hucMSC-exosomes can be engineered to strengthen their therapeutic potential, and the present study aimed to explore whether hypoxic preconditioning can enhance the angiogenic potential of hucMSC-exosomes in an experimental model of POF.
Methods: Primary hucMSCs and ROMECs were isolated from fresh tissue samples and assessed through a series of experiments. Exosomes were isolated from hucMSCs under normoxic or hypoxic conditions (norm-Exos and hypo-Exos, respectively) and then characterized using classic experimental methods.

Background: Chronic pelvic pain is a debilitating but common syndrome that is a burden both for patients and health systems. Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) contributes to 30-40% of patients presenting with chronic pelvic pain where no other cause is identified. However, PCS is poorly understood, underdiagnosed and undertreated, with the average time to diagnosis being reported as up to four years after initial presentation.
