AI Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the link between the use of intrauterine manipulators during laparoscopic hysterectomies and various pathological factors, as well as cancer outcomes in endometrial cancer patients in Japan, analyzing data from 3846 patients between 2015-2017.
- - Results show that intrauterine manipulator use is correlated with higher incidences of lymphovascular space invasion (17.8% vs. 13.3%) and malignant cells in pelvic peritoneal cytology (10.8% vs. 6.4%), indicating increased risks associated with its use.
- - Despite the potential risks, the 5-year survival rates were still high (94.2% with manipulator vs.
Article Abstract
Objective: To examine the association between intrauterine manipulator use and pathological factors and oncologic outcomes in patients with endometrial cancer who had laparoscopic hysterectomy in Japan.
Methods: This was a nationwide retrospective cohort study of the tumor registry of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Study population was 3846 patients who had laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer from January 2015 to December 2017. An automated 1-to-1 propensity score matching with preoperative and intraoperative demographics was performed to assess postoperative pathological factors associated with the intrauterine manipulator. Survival outcomes were assessed by accounting for possible pathological mediators related to intrauterine manipulator use.
Results: Most patients had preoperative stage I disease (96.5%) and grade 1-2 endometrioid tumors (81.9%). During the study period, 1607 (41.8%) patients had intrauterine manipulator use and 2239 (58.2%) patients did not. In the matched cohort, the incidences of lymphovascular space invasion in the hysterectomy specimen were 17.8% in the intrauterine manipulator group and 13.3% in the non-manipulator group. Intrauterine manipulator use was associated with a 35% increased odds of lymphovascular space invasion (adjusted odds ratio 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.08 to 1.69). The incidences of malignant cells identified in the pelvic peritoneal cytologic sample at hysterectomy were 10.8% for the intrauterine manipulator group and 6.4% for the non-manipulator group. Intrauterine manipulator use was associated with a 77% increased odds of malignant peritoneal cytology (adjusted odds ratio 1.77, 95% Cl 1.29 to 2.31). The 5 year overall survival rates were 94.2% for the intrauterine manipulator group and 96.6% for the non-manipulator group (hazard ratio (HR) 1.64, 95% Cl 1.12 to 2.39). Possible pathological mediators accounted HR was 1.36 (95%Cl 0.93 to 2.00).
Conclusion: This nationwide analysis of predominantly early stage, low-grade endometrial cancer in Japan suggested that intrauterine manipulator use during laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer may be associated with an increased risk of lymphovascular space invasion and malignant peritoneal cytology. Possible mediator effects of intrauterine manipulator use on survival warrant further investigation, especially with a prospective setting.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify risk factors and short-term outcomes of intrauterine infection (IUI) in preterm infants, specifically those born between 28 to 36 weeks of gestation.
- Data was collected from 422 preterm neonates in a neonatal intensive care unit over five years, revealing that 78.1% showed signs of histologic IUI, with specific risk factors identified including maternal procedures and prolonged rupture of membranes.
- The findings indicated that infants with IUI experienced higher rates of complications like respiratory distress and retinopathy, and those with lower gestational ages or birth weights had more severe inflammation and greater risks associated with IUI.

Background: Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) are increasingly recognized as valuable nonhuman primates (NHPs) for biomedical research due to their small size and short reproductive cycle and lifespan relative to other NHP species. Maximizing the utility of captive research marmosets, including genetically manipulated animals, will require the use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) including manipulation, storage, and sharing of marmoset sperm. Here, we identify characteristics of high-quality semen samples and validate a simple method for selecting high-quality sperm.

Article Synopsis
- - Infancy and early childhood significantly shape food choices and eating preferences that can persist into adulthood, impacting health outcomes like weight gain and metabolism.
- - Studies indicate that factors such as early exposure to flavors and textures, as well as experiences of environmental adversity, can influence lifelong food preferences.
- - Emphasizing better dietary habits during pregnancy and early life is crucial for developing positive eating behaviors and promoting healthy growth in infants, highlighting the need for primary prevention strategies.

Article Synopsis
- Inadequate decidualization in the endometrium can lead to negative pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriages, particularly in specific mouse strains (CBA/J mating with DBA/2).
- Researchers performed experiments by decidualizing endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) from CBA/J mice and tested their impact on pregnancy when implanted in female mice prior to mating.
- Results indicated that perfusing decidualized ESCs reduced pregnancy loss rates to match control groups but did not affect other reproductive metrics, highlighting the complexity of immune and tissue interactions in pregnancy success.
