Background: The goal was to clarify the changes of TEG parameters in patients with uterine fibroids and endometrial cancer and the clinical diagnostic values of TEG parameters.
Methods: A total of 57 patients with uterine fibroids and 43 patients with endometrial cancer were included, and their TEG parameters were analyzed and compared with 45 healthy women. Routine coagulation indicators were also collected and compared. For significantly changed TEG indicators, the ROC curves were used to evaluate their diagnostic efficacy and determine the cutoff values. The TEG indicators of patients with endometrial cancer of stag I and II were also compared.
Results: APTT, and PT levels in endometrial cancer patients were significantly shorter than those in healthy controls. FIB level in endometrial cancer patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. Angle, MA, CI, E, G, and TPI levels were significantly upregulated in endometrial cancer patients while TMA was significantly decreased. According to ROC curve analysis, G and E had a good auxiliary diagnostic efficiency for the detection of uterine fibroids (cutoff value 6,691 d/sec and 133.8 d/sec) and TPI has good sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of endometrial cancer (cutoff value 51.3 dyn/cm2). The TEG index of patients with stage I and II endometrial cancer did not reach statistical difference.
Conclusions: Thromboelastography parameters change significantly in patients with endometrial cancer and uterine fibroids.

Objective: The presence of the microcystic elongated and fragmented (MELF) pattern, distinguished by its microcystic, elongated and fragmented attributes, constitutes a common manifestation of myometrial invasion (MI) within endometrial carcinoma. However, the prognostic significance of this pattern has not been definitively established. Consequently, this research aimed to clarify the prognostic implications of the MELF pattern for individuals diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma.

Only a few human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell lines are currently available, partly due to the difficulty of establishing cell lines from low-grade cancers. Here, using a cell immortalization strategy consisting of i) inactivation of the p16-pRb pathway by constitutive expression of mutant cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (R24C) (CDK4) and cyclin D1, and ii) acquisition of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) activity, we established a human ovarian endometrioid carcinoma cell line from a 46-year-old Japanese woman. That line, designated JFE-21, has proliferated continuously for over 6 months with a doubling time of ~ 55 h.

Objectives: Due to the increasingly faster pace of life and responsibilities, stress has become an integral part of daily life. Every year, numerous social campaigns in the media raise the issue of increasing alcohol consumption. Endometriosis is a chronic, causally incurable, estrogen-dependent and inflammatory gynecological disorder, described as presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity.

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate safety after same-day discharge following minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia in patients with and without morbid obesity (body mass index 40 kg/m). Our secondary objective was to identify barriers to same-day discharge.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia from January 2016 to May 2022.

Objective: This research was undertaken to identify risk factors for the involvement of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in cases of endometrial cancer.
Methods: From February 2016 to April 2021, the cases of 874 women with endometrial cancer treated with the SLN algorithm at 11 institutions were analyzed in this retrospective study. Clinical and pathologic data were reviewed, and logistic regression was applied to identify predictive factors for SLN involvement.
