AI Article Synopsis
- The study examines lymphography results in ovarian tumors, focusing on 30 germ cell tumors (mainly dysgerminomas) and 29 stromal tumors (primarily granulosa cell tumors).
- The overall metastasis rate was 29%, with higher rates in germ cell tumors (37%) compared to stromal tumors (21%), and 41% of patients with metastases had bilateral involvement.
- Diagnostic accuracy for retroperitoneal node biopsies was high, with 9 out of 10 positive and 6 out of 7 negative cases correctly diagnosed.
Article Abstract
This paper reports the results of lymphography in germinal and stromal tumors of the ovary. The group of patients is made up of 30 cases of germ cell tumors (70% dysgerminomas) and 29 cases of stromal tumors (62% granulosa cell tumors). The overall incidence of metastases was 29%; 37% in germ cell and 21% in stromal tumors. There was bilateral involvement in 41% of the patients with metastases. The para-aortic region alone was involved in 23%, the iliac alone in 18% and both the regions were simultaneously involved in 59%. In 17/30 operated patients (57%) retroperitoneal node biopsies were performed and diagnostic accuracy was 9/10 in the radiographically positive and 6/7 in the negative cases.

Objectives: Endoscopic full-thickness resection for gastric submucosal tumors is gradually gaining popularity, and secure and amenable closure is key to its success. This study aimed to compare the reopenable clip over-the-line method with the purse-string method for defect closure after endoscopic full-thickness resection for gastric submucosal tumors.
Methods: This historical control trial included 37 consecutive patients with 37 gastric submucosal tumors, who underwent endoscopic full-thickness resection between January 2021 and July 2024.

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.

Cardiomyocytes can be implanted to remuscularize the failing heart. Challenges include sufficient cardiomyocyte retention for a sustainable therapeutic impact without intolerable side effects, such as arrhythmia and tumour growth. We investigated the hypothesis that epicardial engineered heart muscle (EHM) allografts from induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes and stromal cells structurally and functionally remuscularize the chronically failing heart without limiting side effects in rhesus macaques.

Objective: To investigate the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the metabolic reprogramming of gastric cancer through their regulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and HERPUD1 protein targets, aiming to elucidate mechanisms that could lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
Method: The RNA-seq was performed on BGC and hMSC-BGC cells to perform LncRNA screening. And we employed cell culture techniques using hMSC-BM and BGC823 cells, treated with various genetic interventions including siRNA and overexpression vectors.

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-associated thrombotic microangiopathy (aVEGF-TMA) was recently discovered in patients with malignant tumors. Four aVEGF-TMA patients diagnosed by renal biopsy between 2018 and 2022 were identified, and all were females aged 30-62 years (mean age, 47 years). Two patients with malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumors who received sunitinib were analyzed.
