Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate oncologic (such as disease-free and overall survival) and obstetric outcomes in patients diagnosed with malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs).
Methods: Patients diagnosed with MOGCTs between March 2007 and February 2022 were evaluated and patients who underwent fertility sparing surgery were included in this retrospective study. The obstetric and oncologic outcomes were evaluated by collecting data up until the patient's last follow-up visit from the hospital records and patient files. The study was approved by Başkent University Institutional Review Board (KA23/124).
Results: Seventy FSS patients were included in this study. The median age of the patients was 22.5 years (range: 11-37). The median follow-up time was 92.0 months (10-189). Immature teratoma was the most common histological subtype (32.9%). Bilateral involvement was detected in only one patient with immature teratoma (1.4%). The 5-year DFS rates of immature teratoma, dysgerminoma, yolk sac, and mixed germ cell histologic types were 91.1%, 94.1%, 82.4%, and 88.9%, respectively (P: 0.716). The 5-year OS rates of the same histologic types were 95.7%, 100%, 88.2%, and 88.9%, respectively (P = 0.487). All patients (100%) had a regular menstrual cycle after the completion of adjuvant treatment. The mean time between the last chemotherapy and menstruation was 4.38 months. To date, a total of 34 patients tried to conceive after the completion of disease treatment. A total of 23 (67.6%) patients conceived, resulting in 27 live births in 22 (100%) patients.
Conclusion: Fertility preservation should be the first treatment option in MOGCTs in young patients due to the unilateral involvement of the disease and its chemosensitive nature.

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are chemosensitive neoplasms with high cure rates; however, a small group of patients present tumors with refractory chemotherapy, with a dismal prognosis and few effective management options. Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are approved for use in chemotherapy refractory GCT, the evidence supporting this indication remains scarce. Original research studies were included on patients with GCTs refractory to chemotherapy treated with ICI up to December 2023.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) have at least three distinct states: naïve pluripotency that represents the cellular states of the pre-implantation epiblast cells, primed pluripotency that represents the cellular states of the post-implantation epiblast cells, and formative pluripotency that represents a developmental continuum between naïve and primed pluripotency. Various cell surface markers have been used to define and analyze primed and naïve hPSCs within heterogeneous populations. However, not much is known about common cell surface markers for the different pluripotent states of hPSCs.

The initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) are intimately associated with genetic, environmental and biological factors. (DSV), a sulfate-reducing bacterium, has been found excessive growth in CRC patients, suggesting a potential role in carcinogenesis. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this association remain incompletely understood.

Proper formation and specification of Primordial Germ Cells (PGCs) is of special significance as they gradually transform into Germline Stem Cells (GSCs) that are ultimately responsible for generating the gametes. Intriguingly, not only the PGCs constitute the only immortal cell type but several specific determinants also underlying PGC specification such as Vasa, Nanos and Germ-cell-less are conserved through evolution. In , PGC formation and specification depends on two independent factors, the maternally deposited specialized cytoplasm (or germ plasm) enriched in germline determinants, and the mechanisms that execute the even partitioning of these determinants between the daughter cells.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are both the chronic inflammatory disease. To investigate the influence of secondary atherosclerosis on arthritis mice, we treated the ApoE mice with K/BxN serum and high fat diet (HFD), and subsequently assessed the phenotypes as well as immune profiles of K/BxN serum and HFD induced ApoE mice. We found that HFD treatment aggravated the hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic lesions, ankle swelling and arthropathy of mice.
