Aims: This study identified the distinct magnetic resonance imaging findings of cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma (GAS) that can help differentiate it from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA) and reveal the radiologic-pathologic correlation.
Materials And Methods: All consecutive patients with cervical GAS treated at our hospital from November 2009 to August 2021 were included. The SCC and UEA cases were considered controls. Tumor location, tumor shape, presence and size of cysts, presence of uterine fluid, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were evaluated.
Results: Overall, 18 GAS, 55 SCC, and 23 UEA cases were evaluated. The tumor was located in the entire cervix in 13/18 GAS cases, whereas it was predominantly located in the lower cervix in 38/55 SCC cases and 14/23 UEA cases. Most GAS cases exhibited a diffuse infiltration growth pattern (17/18), whereas most SCC and UEA cases exhibited a mass-forming pattern (39/55 and 20/23, respectively). Moreover, the percentages of cases presenting microcysts or macrocysts and undergoing uterine fluid collection were significantly higher in the GAS group (14/18 and 13/18) than in the SCC and UEA groups. ADC was significantly higher in the GAS group than in the SCC group (1.092 × 10 vs. 0.819 × 10 mm/s).
Conclusion: This study revealed that GAS is characterized by tumor presence in the entire cervix, infiltrative growth pattern, intrauterine fluid collection, and frequent microcyst or macrocyst formation. Moreover, ADC was significantly higher in the GAS group than in the SCC group.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare and analyze different types of cervical cancers: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC), adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC), usual-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (UEA), and gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) of the cervix.
- Using a total of 728 cases, the research reviewed clinical and MRI features, including tumor size, shape, and various imaging signal ratios to distinguish characteristics between the cancer types.
- The findings revealed significant differences in various clinical indicators and MRI characteristics among the cancer types, highlighting unique features of each subtype, including patient demographics and tumor behaviors.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of two mineral-vitamin premixes on the health status (blood biochemical parameters), milk yield and composition of Holstein-Friesian (HF) cows in Kazakhstan. The study was performed on Holstein-Friesian cows kept on the Bek Plus dairy farm in the village of Korzhynkol, Fyodorovsky District, Kostanay Region. Forty primiparous cows, selected from the herd, were divided by the analogue method into two groups: a control group (C) and an experimental group (E) of 20 animals each.

Invasive stratified mucin-producing carcinoma (ISMC) is a recently described entity of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated endocervical adenocarcinoma with phenotypic plasticity and aggressive clinical behavior. To identify the cell of origin of ISMC, we investigated the immunohistochemical expression of cervical epithelial cell markers (CK7, PAX8, CK5/6, p63, and CK17), stemness markers (ALDH1 and Nanog), and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (Snail, Twist, and E-cadherin) in 10 pure and mixed type ISMCs with at least 10% of ISMC component in the entire tumor, seven usual type endocervical adenocarcinomas (UEAs), and seven squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). In addition, targeted sequencing was performed in 10 ISMCs.
