    Abstract Despite receiving first-line treatment, ovarian cancer patients continue to experience a high rate of recurrence; nearly all women with ovarian cancer develop chemoresistance and succumb to the disease. In this study, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and normal fibroblasts (NFs) were isolated from tumor-containing and normal omenta, respectively, and the downregulation of osteoglycin (OGN) in CAFs was observed. OGN overexpression in CAFs significantly inhibited ovarian cancer cell viability, DNA synthesis, and cell invasion. OGN overexpression also changed epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and promoted mTOR and Akt phosphorylation in ovarian cancer cells. miR-1290 targeted OGN and inhibited OGN expression. miR-1290 overexpression in CAFs significantly promoted ovarian cancer cell viability, DNA synthesis, and cell invasion. Moreover, miR-1290 overexpression in CAFs also changed EMT markers and promoted mTOR and Akt phosphorylation within ovarian carcinoma cells. Finally, when ovarian cancer cells in a conditioned medium derived from CAFs co-transduced with miR-1290 mimics and OGN-OE were cultured, the effects of miR-1290 overexpression were partially reversed by OGN overexpression. In nude mouse xenograft tumor models, OGN overexpression in CAFs suppressed tumor growth, whereas miR-1290 overexpression in CAFs increased tumor growth. In conclusion, a miRNA/mRNA axis in ovarian cancer CAFs modulating the proliferative and invasive abilities of ovarian cancer cells, possibly via the Akt/mTOR pathway, was demonstrated.

    Abstract Background: Narrative Medicine (NM), a contemporary medical concept proposed in the 21st century, emphasizes the use of narrative as a literary form in medicine. This study aims to explore the understanding about NM and willingness to learn NM among medical students in our hospital.
    Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 130 students at Xiangya Medical College of Central South University.
    Results: The findings revealed that a small percentage of students (3.1%) were familiar with narrative medicine and its training methods. Knowledge about the treatment skills (77.7%) and core content (55.4%) of narrative medicine was limited among the students. Despite this, a majority (63.1%) expressed a lack of interest in further understanding and learning about narrative medicine. Surprisingly, the survey indicated that students possessed a high level of narrative literacy, even without formal training in narrative medicine. Additionally, over half of the surveyed students (61.5%) believed that narrative medicine could benefit their clinical practice.
    Conclusions: This study serves as a preliminary basis for the future development of narrative medicine education in China. It highlights the need to prioritize medical humanities education and provide medical students with more opportunities to access information on narrative medicine. By doing so, we can strive to enhance the visibility and promote the integration of narrative medicine into medical humanities education in China.

    Abstract Background: As the cesarean delivery rate continues to rise globally, the treatment of previous cesarean scar defects (PCSD) remains challenging. This study aimed to analyze the variables that may influence the clinical cure rate of patients with PCSD-related abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) as determined by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following hysteroscopic therapy.
    Methods: Women who underwent hysteroscopic surgery for PCSD-related AUB at the Gynecology Department of Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from 2018 to 2022 were recruited to this retrospective cohort investigation. A total of 147 patients were enrolled in this study and underwent follow-up over 6 months. The significance of clinical characteristics linked to the clinical cure rate of AUB was examined by logistic regression.
    Results: There were 64 clinically cured (43.5%) and 83 non-clinically cured (56.5%) patients in the study. There were no significant differences in the age, menstrual duration, gravidity, parity, number of cesarean sections, time since the previous cesarean section, uterus position, width, depth, and thickness of the remaining muscle layer of the defect by MRI T2-weighted images (T2WI) before hysteroscopic surgery between the 2 groups. MRI T2WI of the myometrial thickness adjacent to the defect [P=0.038, odds ratio (OR) =2.095, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.047-4.261] and the distance from the defect to the external cervical os (P=0.021, OR =2.254, 95% CI: 1.136-4.540) before hysteroscopic surgery are risk factors for the clinical cure rate.
    Conclusions: The myometrial thickness adjacent to the defect and the distance from the defect to the external cervical os in preoperative MRI are risk factors for clinical cure rate in patients with PCSD-related AUB after hysteroscopic treatment, which is helpful for evaluating the prognosis of disease.

    Abstract Objective: To present a rare case of retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy with lymphatic migration after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) and propose the possible explanation for embryonic migration.
    Design: Illustrative video presentation. Images, videos (educational videos), and title slides were used to introduce the case of a patient with retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy with lymphatic migration after IVF-ET and provide a potential explanation for embryo distant migration in the patient. This work was approved by the institutional review board.
    Setting: University hospital.
    Patient(s): A 32-year-old woman (gravida 2, para 0) with a history of right salpingectomy was admitted to the hospital 40 days after IVF-ET because of ectopic pregnancy for 1 day; the patient had secondary infertility for 6 years. Gynecologic examination indicated anterior 40-day uterus with no tenderness. A preoperative B-mode ultrasound scan showed that the endometrium was 23 mm, and there was no acoustic image of the pregnant sac in the uterine cavity. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that 1 oval signal measuring approximately 30 × 28 × 35 mm was detected at the gap between the aorta anterior to the third lumbar vertebra and inferior vena cava. The inferior vena cava could be seen on the rear right of the gestational sac, and the abdominal aorta could be seen on the rear left.
    Intervention(s): Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy with lymphatic migration after IVF-ET was diagnosed using B-mode ultrasound, MRI, and pathology analysis and was removed laparoscopically.
    Main outcome measure(s): Mechanism analysis of distant ectopic migration in a patient receiving IVF-ET with a history of tubal surgery.
    Result(s): The patient was diagnosed using B-mode ultrasound and MRI and underwent laparoscopic surgery to diagnose and remove the retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy tissue. Further, the pregnancy lesion was completely removed using an ultrasonic knife. The pathological examination showed that the pregnancy tissue was located inside an enlarged lymph node surrounded by lymphoid tissue, and lymphocyte infiltration was also seen in the endometrial tissue, suggesting that the implanted embryo migrated to the retroperitoneum through the lymphatic channels. The patient successfully conceived through IVF-ET 1 year after the operation, and a full-term neonate was delivered by cesarean section.
    Conclusion(s): This case reinforces that in patients with a history of tubal surgery, whether unilateral or bilateral, clinicians should pay more attention to the possibility of retroperitoneal pregnancy after IVF-ET and to the follow-up of such patients. The pathological examination report provided evidence that lymphatic migration may be the possible mechanism of retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy or embryonic migration after intrauterine placement.

    Abstract Objectives Post-cesarean section scar diverticulum (PCSD) is a long-term sequela of cesarean section (CS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical utility of PCSD scoring criteria, and also retrospectively investigate the efficacy and fertility of two different surgical methods in 304 patients with PCSD. Methods A total of 304 PCSD patients who underwent hysteroscopy or combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy (referred to as laparoscopy) in our hospital from 2016 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Preoperative condition was analyzed by the PCSD scoring criteria and its influencing factors were explored. The efficacy, its influencing factors and pregnancy success rate of the two different surgical methods on PCSD was also analyzed after 6- and 12-months follow-up. Results PCSD was more severe (high score) in patients who experienced caesarean section with one of the following conditions: age >30 years old, without medical indications or retroflexed uterus. The postoperative efficacy of patients subjected to hysteroscopy or laparoscopy was 81.25 and 89.47% (after 6 months), and 79.53 and 87.50% (after 12 months), respectively. Hysteroscopic surgery was better for PCSD patients who had fewer CS and thicker residual muscle layer and worse for PCSD patients with a longer distance of incision defect to the end of the cervix. Postoperative fertilization showed that pregnancy success rate of patients subjected to hysteroscopy or laparoscopy was 56.2 and 50%, respectively. Conclusions The PCSD scoring is an effective method for assessing the severity of PCSD, and hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are effective modalities for PCSD. Hysteroscopy is also an option for patients with fertility needs.

    Abstract Background: Alpha protein kinase 2 (ALPK2) was known to play a vital role in cancer by regulating cell cycle and DNA repair. Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most lethal malignancies in the female reproductive system. The emphasis of this study is to explore the role of ALPK2 in OC.
    Methods: Firstly, tumor and normal tissues were collected for detecting expression of ALPK2 in OC. Lentivirus-mediated shRNA knockdown of ALPK2 was used to construct OC cell model, which was verified by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT, cell cycle and apoptosis were measured through flow cytometry. Wound-healing assay was conducted to detect the migration of OC cells.
    Results: It was proved that the expression of ALPK2 in OC tissues was significantly higher than that in normal ovarian tissues. Moreover, knockdown of ALPK2 could inhibit proliferation, migration and promote apoptosis, arrested cell cycle of OC cells. It was also found that ALPK2 knockdown inhibited tumor growth in xenograft mice in vivo. Furthermore, ALPK2 was involved in OC cells via regulating EMT-related proteins (N-cadherin, Vimentin and Snail), inhibiting apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bcl-w, HSP27, HSP60, IGF-I, IGF-1sR, Survivin and XIAP), as well as the regulation of downstream pathways (Akt, p-Akt, Cyclin D1, CDK6 and PIK3CA).
    Conclusions: In conclusion, ALPK2 might serve as an optional target for prognosis and therapeutic of OC patients.

    Abstract Previous studies have found that LPS and FRA1 play opposite roles in cervical cancer. In addition, LPS functions by regulating the expression of FRA1 in many disease models, but there is currently no study of their relationship in the energy metabolism of tumor cells. This study, therefore, investigates the effects of LPS on FRA1-mediated glucose metabolism and the possible mechanisms it may have in cervical cancer cells. We constructed FRA1 stable overexpressing/ empty vector cervical cancer cell lines, where glucose consumption, the level of lactic acid production and the expression of energy metabolism related molecules were detected under the stimulation of LPS. At the same time, the changes in proliferation ability of cervical cancer cells were detected. We discovered that LPS promotes glucose consumption, lactic acid production, pentose phosphate bypass, and inhibits aerobic oxidation, by inhibiting the expression of FRA1; and that LPS promotes the growth of cervical cancer cells. Our results indicate that LPS affects the proliferation and glucose metabolism of cervical cancer cells through the FRA1/MDM2/p53 pathway.

    Abstract Objective: To compare and analyze the clinical efficacy and reproductive outcomes of the hysteroscopic tissue removal system (MyoSure) and hysteroscopic electroresection in the treatment of benign intrauterine lesions in women of reproductive age.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study of patients with benign intrauterine lesions treated with MyoSure or hysteroscopic electroresection. The primary outcomes were operative time and resection completeness, and reproductive outcomes were followed up and compared. Secondary outcomes included perioperative adverse events and postoperative adhesions seen during second-look hysteroscopy. Data analysis was performed using χ
    Results: The operative times of patients with type 0 or I myoma, endometrial polyps, or retained products of conception in the MyoSure group were shorter than those in the electroresection group but were not significantly different for patients with type II myomas. The complete resection rate was lower in the MyoSure group than in the electroresection group. The degree of decrease in the American Fertility Society score of intrauterine adhesion in the MyoSure group was significantly higher (2.90 ± 1.29 points vs 1.31 ± 0.89 points, P = 0.025). The time to pregnancy and the pregnancy rate were higher in the MyoSure group (13.14 ± 7.85 months vs 16.26 ± 8.22 months, P = 0.040; 65.12% vs 54.55%, P = 0.045), but there was no significant difference in the term live birth rate, premature birth rate, or abortion rate between the two groups.
    Conclusion: MyoSure has advantages of a shortened operative time and improvement in reproductive outcomes such as pregnancy rate. However, for type II myomas, MyoSure has limitations, and a comprehensive evaluation before the procedure is required.

    Abstract Background: Emerging proof suggests that microRNA (miRNA) malfunction is correlated to the generation and development of multiple malignancies. It has been proven that miRNA (miR)-139 represses a variety of malignancies. However, the understanding of its impact on ovarian cancer (OC) is insufficient. We aimed to investigate the expression and function of miR-139 in OC.
    Methods: The expression of mir-139 was detected and recorded, and the relationship of mir-139 remaining OC cells was explored. At the same time, we studied the correlation between ATP7A and mir-139 by the luciferase reporter test, Western blot, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR.
    Results: The expression of miR-139 was remarkably downregulated in OC specimens. Furthermore, excessive miR-139 expression noticeably inhibited the migration, colony generation, proliferation, and invasion of OC cells. In addition, excessive miR-139 expression remarkably repressed the death and the expression of proteins related to cell death in OC cells, as well as inhibited the shedding of exosomes. According to the luciferase reporter test, Western blot, and quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR, miR-139 directly targeted ATP7A. Furthermore, the expression of ATP7A was found to be negatively related to miR-139 levels in OC specimens. It was revealed via a rescue experiment that excessive ATP7A expression counteracted the repressive effect of miR-139 in OC cells.
    Conclusion: It was revealed via an in vivo study that miR-139 remarkably inhibited the growth of malignancies by downregulating ATP7A in nude mice. miR-139 represses the development of malignancies in OC by directly targeting ATP7A, offering an innovative approach for molecular therapy of OC.
