Pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death, is accompanied by inflammation and participate in the body's immune response. The expression of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs) is associated with tumor prognosis in ovarian cancer (OC), but it is still unknown whether pyroptosis can affect tumor immune microenvironment (TME) of OC. Based on 30 PRGs, we comprehensively assessed the pyroptosis patterns by using PRGscore and correlated them with TME features in 474 OC patients. Finally, we identified three pyroptosis modification patterns and TME immune characteristics of these patterns were in response to three immune phenotypes (immune-desert, immune-inflamed, and immune-excluded phenotypes). PRGscore can predict patient survival, staging, grading, and immunotherapy efficacy. Low PRGscore was associated with better survival advantage and increased mutation burden. Low PRGscore patients showed significantly better therapeutic effects and clinical results in chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Besides, the capability of PRGscore in predicting prognosis and immunotherapy sensitivity was further verified in other three tumor cohorts. In conclusion, the comprehensive assessment of OC pyroptosis modifications can help enhancing our understanding of TME immune infiltration and provide better personalized treatment tactics for OC patients.

Advances in gynaecologic oncology research lead to continuous updates in clinical guidelines. However, undergraduate medical education often lacks in-depth coverage of recent developments, limiting students' preparedness for evidence-based management of gynaecological cancers. This study aimed to bridge the educational gap by integrating case-based analyses of practice-changing studies into the undergraduate obstetrics and gynaecology course.

Caov-3 and SKOV3 cells were divided into control(Vehicle) group, APS group, glutathione peroxidase 4 inhibitor(RSL3) group, and APS+RSL3 group. After 48 h of intervention, the activity and morphology of the cells in each group were observed.

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are self-assembled systems formed from oppositely charged polymers, used to create hydrogels for cell culture. This work was aimed at additive manufacturing 3D hydrogels made of a PEC between chitosan (Cs) and alginate, as well as their investigation for in vitro 3D ovarian cancer modeling. PEC hydrogels stability in cell culture medium demonstrated their suitability for long-term cell culture applications.

Background: Use of long-acting, reversible contraceptives has increased over the past 20 years, but an understanding of how they could influence cancer risk is limited.
Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study among a national cohort of Australian women (n = 176 601 diagnosed with cancer between 2004 and 2013; 882 999 matched control individuals) to investigate the associations between the levonorgestrel intrauterine system, etonogestrel implants, depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate and cancer risk and compared these results with the oral contraceptive pill. We used conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).

Aims: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) is related to Ovarian cancer (OC) pathogenesis, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the expression of Kelch Domain Containing 8 A (KLHDC8A) in OC and the mechanism associated with TAM.
Main Methods: Bioinformatics analysis of differential expression genes between normal and OC tissues were analyzed based on the Tumor Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases.
