AI Article Synopsis

  • The article reviews rare neuroectodermal-type lesions in the female genital tract and discusses their connection to systemic pathology.
  • It presents two unusual cases: an endometrial glial polyp in a young woman and a mature cystic teratoma with peritoneal gliomatosis in an adolescent girl.
  • Both cases required thorough diagnostic approaches, including careful sampling, immunophenotyping, and consultation with neuropathology experts.

Article Abstract

The wide scope of neuropathology is also connected to different systemic pathology findings. Neuroectodermal-type female genital tract lesions are not frequent. This article presents a short review of such entities in gynecological pathology and reports on two rare cases. The first described lesion is an endometrial glial polyp in a young woman. The second is a mature cystic teratoma accompanied by a peritoneal gliomatosis in an adolescent girl. Both presented entities posed diagnostic difficulties from the clinical and pathological perspective. They demanded careful sampling, immunophenotyping, as well as neuropathological consultation.

Background: Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Symptoms of endometriosis are known to impair the quality of life of patients, and among these are found dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and gastrointestinal (GI) issues. GI issues such as painful bowel movements, bloating and constipation or diarrhea, are one of the common reasons for misdiagnosis with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Review: Unveiling the effect of beta-nerve growth factor on the reproductive function in llamas and cows.

The actions of the beta-nerve growth factor (β-NGF) on the neuroendocrine and reproductive system have challenged classical views on the control of reproductive function. After endometrial absorption, β-NGF triggers ovulation and promotes the development of functional corpora lutea in camelids. In this article, we review evidence showing that, in camelids, β-NGF exerts its actions by acting in both the hypothalamus and the ovary.

Background: Neuroinflammation is closely related to the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Because of the extensive sources, non-invasive and periodical collection method, human menstrual blood-derived endometrial stem cells (MenSCs) have been explored as a promising tool for treatment of PD. This study aimed to investigate if MenSCs could inhibit neuroinflammation in PD rats by regulating M1/M2 polarization and to excavate the underlying mechanisms.

Neuroinflammation is a common response in various neurological disorders. Mesenchymal stem cell-based treatment has become a promising therapy for neuroinflammation-associated diseases. However, the effects of mesenchymal stem cells are controversial, and the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood.
