Objective: To examine the trends and characteristics of ovarian conservation at time of hysterectomy in cervical carcinoma in situ.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study examining the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's National Inpatient Sample, January 2016 to December 2019. The study population included 6605 patients aged less than 65 years with cervical carcinoma in situ who underwent hysterectomy. Exposure allocation was the adnexal procedure status (ovarian conservation vs. oophorectomy). Main outcome measures were temporal trends of ovarian conservation over time and per patient age. A classification-tree was constructed to examine utilization patterns of ovarian conservation.
Results: Ovarian conservation was performed in 57.2% of patients. Ovarian conservation rates were unchanged over time (P-trend = 0.219). Ovarian conservation rates remained stable until age 40 years, ranging from 88.0% to 78.6% (P-trend = 0.236), after which time the rate sharply decreased from 78.6% to 19.1% (P-trend <0.001). In a multivariable analysis, younger age, fewer comorbidities, higher household income, vaginal hysterectomy, and surgery at small bed capacity non-rural hospitals were associated with ovarian conservation (all, P < 0.05). There were 17 utilization patterns of ovarian conservation for which the rate ranged from 17.2% to 94.4% (absolute rate difference 77.2%, P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Decrease in the utilization of ovarian conservation at hysterectomy for cervical carcinoma in situ occurred at age 40 years, which is earlier than expected.

This study investigated the probiotic potential of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from the intestines of quails during the late egg-laying period. Eight LAB strains were examined for their tolerance to acid and bile salts, antibiotic susceptibility, self-aggregation, hydrophobicity, and antibacterial activity. Among these, E.

The gene-regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the germline PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway components within the gonads of metazoan species remain largely unexplored. In contrast to the male germline piRNA pathway, which in mice is known to be activated by the testis-specific transcription factor A-MYB, the nature of the ovary-specific gene-regulatory network driving the female germline piRNA pathway remains a mystery. Here, using as a model, we combined multiple genomics approaches to reveal the transcription factor Ovo as regulator of the germline piRNA pathway in ovarian germ cells.

Cezanne-2 (Cez2) is a deubiquitinylating (DUB) enzyme involved in the regulation of ubiquitin-driven cellular signaling and selectively targets Lys11-linked polyubiquitin chains. As a representative member of the ovarian tumor (OTU) subfamily DUBs, it performs cysteine proteolytic isopeptide bond cleavage; however, its exact catalytic mechanism is not yet resolved. In this work, we used different computational approaches to get molecular insights into the Cezanne-2 catalytic mechanism.

The most severe form of male infertility is idiopathic non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), a complete sperm absence in the ejaculate. We performed exome sequencing in the Croatian infertile brothers with NOA and found a variant in DMRT1 (Doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1) gene that was further assessed by the EMSA assay and molecular dynamic simulations. We additionally screened for DMRT1 mutations in 1940 infertile men diagnosed with spermatogenic failure, 644 normozoospermic controls, and 105 females with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) recruited to the GEnetics of Male INfertility Initiative (GEMINI) or Estonian Andrology (ESTAND) cohorts.
