Objective: To study the relationship between ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma and DNA damage.
Methods: 14 samples were selected from clinical ovarian cases including 3 cases with normal ovarian tissue, 6 cases with poorly differentiated ovarian tumor, 5 cases with ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma, treated by X-ray irradiation and frozen sections respectively. DNA damage response was analyzed by immunofluorescence and Western blot.
Results: Before X-ray irradiation, compared to normal ovarian tissue, a large number of endogenous damage existed in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma, and phosphorylation of histone family 2A variant (H2AX) was abnormally enhanced 1 hour after irradiation treatment, however, DNA repair was normal in ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma. Phosphorylation of H2AX was dispensable for p53 binding protein 1 (53BP1) activation and couldn't be colocalized in clear-type ovarian cancer tissues.
Conclusion: The abnormal DNA damage activation implies that the network of DNA damage signaling pathway may be defective.

Targeting on the PI3K/mTOR: a potential treatment strategy for clear cell ovarian carcinoma.
Cancer Chemother Pharmacol

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, 200011, China.
Purpose: Ovarian clear cell carcinoma is a highly malignant gynecological tumor characterized by a high rate of chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is well-known to be closely related to the progression of various malignancies, and recent studies have indicated that this pathway may play a critical role in the progression and worsening of OCCC.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the combined effects of WX390, a dual inhibitor of PI3K/mTOR, and cisplatin on OCCC through both in vitro and in vivo experiments to further elucidate their therapeutic effects.
Oxidative toxicity mediated oophoritis alters ovarian growth in Channa punctatus under prolonged exposure to herbicide, paraquat dichloride.

Herbicide paraquat dichloride, a potent redox agent found its way to natural water bodies and influences their health; however, its impact on the reproductive health of fish is potentially less studied and requires clear investigation. This study was conducted to elucidate its effect on the gonadal health of female fish, Channa punctatus over 60 days. The 96-h LC of test herbicide was calculated as 0.

Objective: To assess the feasibility of first polar body transfer (PB1T) combined with preimplantation mitochondrial genetic testing for blocking the transmission of a pathogenic mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation.
Methods: A Chinese family affected with Leigh syndrome which had attended the Reproductive Medicine Centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in September 2021 was selected as the study subject. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was carried out for the proband after completing the detection of the mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation load among the pedigree members.
Prognostic impact of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) expression on cancer survival and its implications for GLP-1R agonist therapy: an integrative analysis across multiple tumor types.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, such as exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza, Saxenda), albiglutide (Tanzeum), dulaglutide (Trulicity), lixisenatide (Lyxumia, Adlyxin), semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy), and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), are widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. While these agents are well known for their metabolic benefits, there is growing interest in their potential effects on cancer biology. However, the role of GLP-1R agonists in cancer remains complex and not fully understood, particularly across different tumor types.

This Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) systematic review synthesized effects of background levels of per- and polyfluorylalkyl substance (PFAS) levels on reproductive health outcomes in the general public: fertility, preterm birth, miscarriage, ovarian health, menstruation, menopause, sperm health, and in utero fetal growth. The inclusion criteria included original research (or primary) studies, human subjects, and investigation of outcomes of interest following non-occupational exposures. It drew from four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Embase and Health and Environmental Research Online (HERO)) using a standardized search string for all studies published between 1 January 2017 and 13 April 2022.
