Cisplatin (DDP) based chemotherapy occurs a reduced therapeutic effect on the later treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) due to DDP resistance. Astragaloside II (ASII), a natural product extracted from Radix Astragali, has shown promising anticancer effects. However, the effects of ASII on OC have not been clarified. In this study, we found that ASII inhibited cell growth and promoted cell apoptosis of DDP-resistant OC cells in vitro and in vivo. Further study showed that ASII downregulated multidrug resistance-related protein MDR1 and cell cycle-related protein Cyclin D1 and PCNA, and also upregulated apoptosis-related protein leaved PRAP and cleaved caspase-3. In addition, ASII induced autophagy, characterized by upregulation of LC3II expression, downregulation of p62 expression, and elevation of LC3 punctuation, may be associated with inhibition of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Moreover, the messenger RNA-sequencing was used to identify potential molecules regulated by ASII. In conclusion, these findings indicated that ASII increased sensitivity of DDP in the treatment of OC.

In this study, spatial and single-cell transcriptome techniques were used to investigate the role of beta-galactoside alpha-2,6-sialyltransferase 1 (ST6GAL1) in promoting peritoneal metastasis in ovarian cancer epithelial cells. We collected single-cell transcriptomic (GSE130000) and spatial transcriptomic datasets (GSE211956) from the Gene Expression Omnibus and RNA-sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The Robust Cell Type Decomposition (RCTD) approach was implemented to integrate spatial and single-cell transcriptomic data.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) represents a common neoplasm within the female reproductive tract. The prognosis for patients diagnosed at advanced stages is unfavorable, primarily attributable to the absence of reliable screening markers for early detection. An elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as an indicator of host inflammatory response and has been linked to poorer overall survival (OS) across various cancer types; however, its examination in OC remains limited.

Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the top seven causes of cancer deaths. Incidence of ovarian cancer varies by ethnicity, where Asian women demonstrate lower incidence rates than non-Hispanic Blacks and Whites. Survival prediction models for ovarian cancer have been developed for Caucasians and Black populations using national databases; however, whether these models work for Asians is unclear.

Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors (SCST) are a rare subset of ovarian neoplasms originating from supportive tissues surrounding oocytes. Despite their rarity, prompt diagnosis and management are crucial due to their potential for diverse clinical presentations and the need to optimize patient outcomes. A 25-year-old female patient was initially diagnosed with pyelonephritis but later discovered to have a large right adnexal mass suspected to be a tubo-ovarian abscess.

Aim: To define the indications and outcomes of intraoperative ablation of hepatic malignancies.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study comprises 27 patients (male/female: 19/8; mean age: 56 ± 13) undergoing intraoperative ablation (IOA) of liver tumours between July 2001 and August 2021 for 42 tumours, including colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) (n = 27), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)(n = 14), and ovarian cancer metastasis (n = 1). The mean tumour diameter was 2.
