Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological features of giant ovarian masses(mean diameter≥10 cm)and analyze the clinical characteristics of patients in different age groups.Methods:The clinicopathological characteristics of 311 patients diagnosed with giant ovarian masses by surgery at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,Affiliated Hospital of Medical School,Nanjing University from January 2014 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were further stratified by age and mass size to compare the differences of clinical and patho-logical features among different age groups and different mass diameter groups.Results:①The median age of thepatients were 44(24,60)years old.The first symptoms were as follows:ovarian mass discovered during physi-cal examination,abdominal pain,bloating,conscious abdominal distension,and symptoms of compression.②The surgical methods were as follows:unilateral oophorectomy(30.5％,95/311),ovarian cystectomy(28.9％,90/311),tumor staging or cytoreductive surgery(28.0％,87/311),total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy(12.5％,39/311).③The pathological types were benign(49.5％,154/311),malignant(31.8％,99/311)and borderline(18.7％,58/311).④ Patients complained abdominal distension in＜20 years old group were signifi-cantly higher than the other two groups(P＜0.05).The ovarian resection rate in the＞50-year-old group was higher than that of the other two groups(P＜0.05),and the rate of unilateral ovarian resection in the＜20-year-old group was still as high as 30.1％(15/49).⑤ The size of the mass correlated with the duration of the disease.When the disease course was between 1 to 6 months,the mass diameter line＞30 cm was the most common(P＜0.05).The incidence of borderline tumors in the＞30 cm group was significantly higher than that in the other two groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Ovarian mucinous and mucinous borderline tumors are the most common types of giant adnexal masses.The size of the mass tends to increase with the prolongation of the disease course.The incidence of borderline tumors increases with the in-crease of mass.Health education for young people should be strengthened.When abdominal pain,abdominal bloating,especially lower abdominal distension occurs,they should seek medical treatment in time to avoid adnex-ectomy due to borderline tumors.

Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA(miR)-4645-5p on the proliferation,invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of esophageal cancer cells by targeting mucin 16(MUC16)and its mo-lecular mechanism.Methods The expression of miR-4645-5p in esophageal cancer tissues was analyzed online by TCGA database.The expression level of miR-4645-5p in esophageal cancer cell lines was analyzed by fluo-rescent real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR).KYSE-30 cells were transfected with miR-4645-5p mimic and negative control mimic by lipofection technology,and were divided into miR-4645-5p group and control mimic group.The proliferation ability,migration ability and invasion ability of transfected KYSE-30 cells were analyzed by CCK-8 method,scratch test and Transwell test respectively.The target gene of miR-4645-5p was predicted by the bioinformatics website,and the binding of miR-4645-5p to the target gene was detected by the dual-luciferase reporter gene assay.The expression level of MUC16 mR-NA was detected by qPCR,and the protein expression levels of MUC16,transcription factor-1(ZEB-1),zonal atresia protein(ZO-1),tight junction protein-1(Claudin-1)and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)were detected by Western blotting.Results The expression level of miR-4645-5p in esophageal cancer tissues was signifi-cantly lower than that in adjacent tissues(P＜0.01).Compared with HET-1 A,the expression of miR-4645-5p was lower in esophageal cancer cell lines(P＜0.05).After overexpression of miR-4645-5p,the proliferation a-bility of KYSE-30 cells was significantly reduced(P＜0.05),the migration ability was significantly reduced(P＜0.01)and the invasion ability was significantly reduced(P＜0.01).miR-4645-5p targeted and negatively regulated the expression of MUC16 mRNA(P＜0.01).After overexpression of miR-4645-5p,the protein ex-pression levels of MUC16,ZEB-1 and α-SMA were all down-regulated,and the protein expression levels of ZO-1 and Claudin-1 were up-regulated.Conclusion miR-4645-5p regulates the malignant biological behavior of esophageal cancer KYSE-30 cells by targeting MUC16.

The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies encompass a diverse array of autoimmune diseases,characterized by muscular inflammation and various extramuscular manifestations.These conditions have the poten-tial to impact multiple organs,including the lungs,skin,joints,gastrointestinal tract,and heart.The defining features of these conditions are muscle weakness and myalgia.Although cardiac involvement is infrequent,its clinical manifestations are subtle and easily overlooked.Cardiac damage represents a significant contributor to mortality and morbidity in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy.Early and accurate identification of cardiac involve-ment may facilitate improved patient outcomes.This article provides an overview of the potential etiology,clinical presentations,risk factors,biomarkers,and imaging studies for early diagnosis of cardiac involvement in idio-pathic inflammatory myopathy.This review aims to enhance clinicians'understanding and diagnostic capabilities re-garding cardiac involvement in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy while promoting early intervention strategies for lifelong management and improved prognosis.

Background::Bladder cancer, characterized by a high potential of tumor recurrence, has high lifelong monitoring and treatment costs. To date, tumor cells with intrinsic softness have been identified to function as cancer stem cells in several cancer types. Nonetheless, the existence of soft tumor cells in bladder tumors remains elusive. Thus, our study aimed to develop a microbarrier microfluidic chip to efficiently isolate deformable tumor cells from distinct types of bladder cancer cells.Methods::The stiffness of bladder cancer cells was determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM). The modified microfluidic chip was utilized to separate soft cells, and the 3D Matrigel culture system was to maintain the softness of tumor cells. Expression patterns of integrin β8 (ITGB8), protein kinase B (AKT), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were determined by Western blotting. Double immunostaining was conducted to examine the interaction between F-actin and tripartite motif containing 59 (TRIM59). The stem-cell-like characteristics of soft cells were explored by colony formation assay and in vivo studies upon xenografted tumor models. Results::Using our newly designed microfluidic approach, we identified a small fraction of soft tumor cells in bladder cancer cells. More importantly, the existence of soft tumor cells was confirmed in clinical human bladder cancer specimens, in which the number of soft tumor cells was associated with tumor relapse. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the biomechanical stimuli arising from 3D Matrigel activated the F-actin/ITGB8/TRIM59/AKT/mTOR/glycolysis pathways to enhance the softness and tumorigenic capacity of tumor cells. Simultaneously, we detected a remarkable up-regulation in ITGB8, TRIM59, and phospho-AKT in clinical bladder recurrent tumors compared with their non-recurrent counterparts.Conclusions::The ITGB8/TRIM59/AKT/mTOR/glycolysis axis plays a crucial role in modulating tumor softness and stemness. Meanwhile, the soft tumor cells become more sensitive to chemotherapy after stiffening, that offers new insights for hampering tumor progression and recurrence.
