    Abstract To estimate the feasibility of diagnosing ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer through endometrial cytology, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to calculate the pooled positive rate of malignant cells in endometrial cytology samples. We queried PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trails from inception to November 12, 2020 for studies estimating positive rates of malignant cells in endometrial cytology samples from patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. The positive rates of the included studies were calculated as pooled positive rate through meta-analyses of proportion. Subgroup analysis based on different sampling methods was conducted. Seven retrospective studies involving 975 patients were included. Pooled positive rate of malignant cells in endometrial cytology specimens of ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer patients was 23% (95% CI: 16% - 34%). Statistical heterogeneity between the included studies was considerable (

    Abstract Background: Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) is a lipid metabolism enzyme and rarely was researched in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
    Methods: ACAT2 expressions were confirmed in two pairs of cell lines (A2780 and A2780/DDP, OVCAR8 and OVCAR8/DDP) from Gene Expression Omnibus database by bioinformatics analysis, and in A2780 and A2780/DDP cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Tissue samples were stained by immunohistochemistry and scored for ACAT2 expression. The relationships between ACAT2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed by χ
    Results: ACAT2 was remarkably upregulated in the above drug-resistant cell lines by mRNA (all P < 0.05) and protein expression (P = 0.026) than those in sensitive ones. Patients were classified as ACAT2-high (n = 51) and ACAT2-low (n = 26) according to immunohistochemical score. ACAT2 expression had a significantly inverse correlation with FIGO stage (P = 0.030) and chemo-response (P = 0.041). A marginal statistical significance existed in ACAT2 expression and ascites volume (P = 0.092). Univariate analysis suggested that high-expressed ACAT2 was associated with decreased platinum-free interval (PFI) (8.57 vs. 14.13 months, P = 0.044), progression-free survival (PFS) (14.12 vs. 19.79 months, P = 0.039) and overall survival (OS) (36.89 vs. 52.40 months, P = 0.044). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that ACAT2 expression (hazard ratio = 2.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.15-4.11, P = 0.017) affected OS independently, rather than PFI and PFS.
    Conclusion: The expression of ACAT2 in A2780/DDP and OVCAR8/DDP was higher than the corresponding A2780 and OVCAR8. High-expressed ACAT2 was associated with advanced FIGO stage, chemo-resistance, and decreased PFI, PFS and OS. It was an independent prognostic factor of OS in EOC.

    Abstract Background: A meta-analysis followed by PRISMA 2020 statement was performed aiming to present a whole prolactin and sex hormone profile in hemodialysis women.
    Methods: Literatures were searched in PubMed, Cochrane library, Embase, and Web of science before March 11, 2023. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was performed to test the conclusiveness of this meta-analysis. Egger's test and trim-and-fill analysis was used to test publication bias. We took standardized mean difference (SMD) as pool effect of hormones values including prolactin (PRL), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E
    Results: Twenty-two articles from 13 countries were analyzed. Combining the results of TSA and meta-analysis, we found that compared with healthy control, hemodialysis women had higher PRL, follicular FSH and LH values and lower P levels (PRL: I
    Conclusions: Hemodialysis women had higher serum PRL, follicular phase FSH, LH and lower serum P values compared with healthy control. PRL values of hemodialysis women were also higher than that of women after renal transplantation.

    Abstract Objective: Traditional uterine manipulator is considered as the main reason for short survival of patients with early-stage cervical cancer during minimally invasive surgery. This study aims to assess the sealing effect of magnetic-sealing uterine manipulators (MUMs) in isolated uteruses.
    Methods: The study was performed on isolated uterus from patients with early-stage cervical cancer who underwent open abdominal radical hysterectomy between November 2019 to April 2021. Right-angle forceps closure tests (groups 1 and 3) were defined as control tests. One experimental MUM closure test (group 2) and 2 control tests were respectively carried out in each of the isolated uterus. DNA ploidy analysis system was used to observe exfoliated cells. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test to assess the sealing effect of MUM.
    Results: We identified 36 patients. No regional node metastasis was discovered and only one tumor was larger than 4.0 cm in diameter. The mean of exfoliated tumor cells in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 1, 1, and 2, respectively. There was no significant difference in the quantity of exfoliated cells between groups 1 and 3 (p=0.476), so the results of the 2 groups were merged. Subsequently, a significant difference was observed between combined right-angle forceps closure tests and MUM closure tests (p=0.022).
    Conclusion: The sealing effect of MUM was better than that of right-angle forceps. MUM can effectively seal cervical cancer cells in the cup cover, avoiding the dissemination of tumor cells.

    Abstract Background: Rectal adenocarcinoma is one of major public health problems, severely threatening people's health and life. Cox proportional hazard models have been applied in previous studies widely to analyze survival data. However, such models ignore competing risks and treat them as censored, resulting in excessive statistical errors. Therefore, a competing-risk model was applied with the aim of decreasing risk of bias and thereby obtaining more-accurate results and establishing a competing-risk nomogram for better guiding clinical practice.
    Methods: A total of 22,879 rectal adenocarcinoma cases who underwent primary-site surgical resection were collected from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database. Death due to rectal adenocarcinoma (DRA) and death due to other causes (DOC) were two competing endpoint events in the competing-risk regression analysis. The cumulative incidence function for DRA and DOC at each time point was calculated. Gray's test was applied in the univariate analysis and Gray's proportional subdistribution hazard model was adopted in the multivariable analysis to recognize significant differences among groups and obtain significant factors that could affect patients' prognosis. Next, A competing-risk nomogram was established predicting the cause-specific outcome of rectal adenocarcinoma cases. Finally, we plotted calibration curve and calculated concordance indexes (c-index) to evaluate the model performance.
    Results: 22,879 patients were included finally. The results showed that age, race, marital status, chemotherapy, AJCC stage, tumor size, and number of metastasis lymph nodes were significant prognostic factors for postoperative rectal adenocarcinoma patients. We further successfully constructed a competing-risk nomogram to predict the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year cause-specific mortality of rectal adenocarcinoma patients. The calibration curve and C-index indicated that the competing-risk nomogram model had satisfactory prognostic ability.
    Conclusion: Competing-risk analysis could help us obtain more-accurate results for rectal adenocarcinoma patients who had undergone surgery, which could definitely help clinicians obtain accurate prediction of the prognosis of patients and make better clinical decisions.

    Abstract Background: Evidence proved the association between gut microbiome dysbiosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in metabolic disorder, decreased fertility, and hyperandrogenism. However, alterations in blood microbiome of PCOS remained unknown.
    Objective: This study aims to measure the blood microbiome profile of PCOS patients compared with healthy controls by 16S rRNA sequencing and to investigate its association with PCOS.
    Methods: In this case-control study, bacterial DNA in blood of 24 PCOS patients and 24 healthy controls was investigated by 16S rRNA gene sequencing using the MiSeq technology. Alpha and beta diversity were used to analyze within-sample biodiversity and similarity of one group to another, respectively. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) was calculated to determine biomarkers between groups. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) functional prediction was performed at genera level.
    Result: Alpha diversity of blood microbiome decreased significantly in women with PCOS, and beta diversity analysis demonstrated a major separation between the two groups. In the PCOS group, the relative abundance of
    Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that blood microbiome had a significantly lower alpha diversity, different beta diversity, and significant taxonomic variations in PCOS patients compared with healthy controls.

    Abstract Background: Extragonadal yolk sac tumor (YST) of peritoneum is a rare malignancy.
    Case description: A 37-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to hospital with a 3-month abdominal pain 4 years ago. Alpha-fetoprotein was 228,499.0 ng/mL. Computed tomography scan revealed a massive mass in the left lower abdomen. Exploratory laparotomy exposed a huge mesenteric mass. Then, mesenteric tumor resection, partial sigmoidectomy, and single-lumen fistula of sigmoid colon were performed. Postoperative pathologic diagnosis reported a stage IV mesenteric YST. After surgery, the patient received 6 courses of BEP (bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin) chemotherapy. Seven months later, the patient underwent stoma reversion of sigmoid colon and received another 2 courses of BEP chemotherapy. Three months after the last chemotherapy, liver metastases were diagnosed. She subsequently underwent 3 surgeries, radiotherapy for liver metastases, and multiple tiers of palliative chemotherapies, including TP (docetaxel and carboplatin), VIP (ifosfamide, cisplatin, and etoposide), TIP (paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin), and so on. After the third surgery (left hepatic lesion resection and right iliac lymph node resection), she received 4 cyclic chemotherapies of BEP´ (boanmycin, etoposide, and cisplatin) without pulmonary toxic side effects.
    Conclusion: Postoperative histopathology and immunohistochemistry are gold standards for the diagnosis of peritoneal YST. The standard first-line treatment is surgery plus BEP chemotherapy. Second-line therapy regimens and above, including VIP and TIP, improve the prognosis of recurrent germ cell tumors. This relapsed and refractory patient with peritoneal YST benefits from the secondary BEP´ chemotherapy.

    Abstract Background: In the study, we aimed to evaluate the ability of micro-histology combined with cytology to improve the quality of slides and diagnose endometrial lesions.
    Methods: Endometrial specimens were collected from Li Brushes. Every specimen was prepared for micro-histological and cytological slides, using cell block (CB) and liquid-based cytology (LBC) technologies. Semi-quantitative scoring system was used to evaluate the qualities of slides. CB slides were assessed by 5-category scoring system. Diagnostic accuracy was calculated in LBC, CB, and LBC + CB groups based on the histological gold standard. Endometrial atypical hyperplasia, and endometrial cancer were considered positive, whereas others were considered negative.
    Results: A total of 167 patients were enrolled. CB slides were inferior to LBC slides only in cellularity (p < 0.001), but superior in the other six parameters (all p < 0.001). The satisfaction rate of micro-histology accounted for 92.3%. The accuracy index in the CB group was higher than in the LBC group in terms of sensitivity (85.5% vs. 82.7%) and specificity (98.9% vs. 95.7%). The sensitivity and specificity in the LBC + CB group were increased to 94.2% and 99.0%, respectively.
    Conclusions: The quality of micro-histological slides was higher than that of cytological slides. By combining micro-histology with cytology, higher accuracy was achieved for endometrial lesions diagnosis.

    Abstract Objective: To propose a computerized system utilizing multiscene analysis based on a support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN) to assess cardiotocography (CTG) intelligently.
    Methods: We retrospectively collected 2542 CTG records of singleton pregnancies delivered at the maternity ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from October 10, 2020, to August 7, 2021. CTG records were divided into five categories (baseline, variability, acceleration, deceleration, and normality). Apart from the category of normality, the other four different categories of abnormal data correspond to four scenes. Each scene was divided into training and testing sets at 9:1 or 7:3. We used three computer algorithms (dynamic threshold, SVM, and CNN) to learn and optimize the system. Accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were performed to evaluate performance.
    Results: The global accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the system were 93.88%, 93.06%, and 94.33%, respectively. In acceleration and deceleration scenes, when the convolution kernel was 3, the test data set reached the highest performance.
    Conclusion: The multiscene research model using SVM and CNN is a potential effective tool to assist obstetricians in classifying CTG intelligently.

    Abstract Introduction: This meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of placebo during the maintenance therapy of ovarian cancer (OC) patients in randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
    Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed for RCTs published up to and including August 2020 from four electronic databases. We analyzed the efficacy and safety in the control arms of the maintenance therapy in advanced OC patients. Hazard ratios (HRs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated in the placebo arms and the observation arms, respectively, using the Frequency Framework method. We also calculated the incidences of common adverse effects (AEs) in the placebo arms.
    Results: In total, 41 articles with 20,099 (4,787 in the placebo arms, 3,420 in the observation arms, and 11,892 in the experiment arms) patients were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with observation, placebo did not improve or reduce PFS (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.87-1.20;
    Conclusions: Placebo did not improve or reduce the PFS and OS benefits of OC patients in RCTs but increased the incidences of AEs.
