Background Retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease characterized by chronic nonspecific inflammation, which leads to clinical compression manifestations of retroperitoneal organs especially ureter. Approximately 70 percent of retroperitoneal fibrosis cases are idiopathic which has no clear etiology. This study reported a rare case of a 48-year-old woman presented with idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis and endometrial cancer. Case presentation A 48-year-old woman presented with irregular vaginal bleeding without abdominal pain, bloating or discomfort. The patient was diagnosed iRPF after splenectomy 13 years ago. Then she took prednisone for 2 years and took tamoxifen for about 11 years. She stopped taking the medication from October 2019 to May 2020 and then started taking tamoxifen again until November 2020. Two weeks after she stopped taking tamoxifen, she presented with irregular vaginal bleeding. Gynecological ultrasound revealed a thick endometrium with uneven echo enhancement and blood flow signals. Then diagnostic curettage was performed with pathological examination showed endometroid carcinoma. Later, the patient was admitted to Peking University Third Hospital for surgery. Preoperative imaging examinations, including CT, MRI, and PET/CT, all showed pelvic enlarged lymph nodes and they were highly suspected to have lymph node metastasis. The patient underwent laparoscopic surgical staging and enlarged lymph nodes in the pelvic and aortic regions were removed. Finally, the pathology confirmed that endometrioid adenocarcinoma and fibrosis, but there was no tumor infiltration in these enlarged lymph nodes. The patient is now in good condition. Conclusion This case report stressed the difficulty to distinguish between lymph node metastasis and inflammatory hyperplasia by common imaging methods. Due to increased surgical difficulty among retroperitoneal patients, lymphadenectomy should be carefully evaluated to avoid additional surgical complications and over-treatment.

Introduction and Hypothesis To evaluate the pelvic floor muscle function (PFMF) of cervical cancer patients after type QM-C hysterectomy and to explore the relationship between decreased PFMF and related factors.. Methods This was a multi-centered retrospective cohort study. 181 cervical cancer patients underwent type QM-C hysterectomy were enrolled from 9 tertiary hospitals. Strength of PFMF were measured by using neuromuscular apparatus (Phenix U8, French). Risk factors contributed to decreased PFMF was analyzed by univariate and multivariate ordinal ploytomous logistic regression. Results Totally 181 patients were investigated in this study.0-3 level of type I muscle fibre strength(MFSI) was 52.6%(95/181),0-3 level of type ⅡA muscle fibre strength(MFSⅡA) was 50%(91/181). Subjective stress urinary incontinence was 46%(84/181),urinary retention was 27.3%(50/181),dyschezia was 41.5%(75/181),fecal incontinence was 9%(18/181).①MFSI:Multivariate ordinal ploytomous logistic regression shows that the follow-up time(p<0.05),chemotherapy and radiotherapy (p=0.038) are independent risk factors of MFSI’s reduction after type QM-C hysterectomy.② MFSⅡA:Multivariate ordinal ploytomous logistic regression shows that the follow-up time(p<0.05) are independent risk factors of MFSⅡA’s reduction after type QM-C hysterectomy. The pelvic floor muscle strength(PFMS) increased after 9 months than in 9 months after operation, which showed that the PFMS could be recovered after operation. Conclusions We advocate for more attention and emphasis on the PFMF of Chinese female patients with cervical cancer postoperation. Contribution of the Paper The key messages of the article is that PFMF after QM-C hysterectomy have not been analyzed by current study.The new knowledge added by this study is that 3 months after radical hysterectomy patients’ should do pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises.

Objectives: To assess the feasibility and outcome of primary laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery on advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in comparison with conventional open surgery. Materials and Methods: Patients undergoing primary laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery (LCS) from March 2007 to December 2016 were matched to controls treated with laparotomic cytoreduction during the same period. Procedural data and outcomes were analyzed. Results: The LCS group (n = 64) and laparotomic group (n = 68) had similar age, BMI, stages, histologic type and grading. The LCS group exhibited significantly less operating time (P < 0.001), less intraoperative blood loss (P < 0.001), and shorter time to recover postoperatively (P = 0.002). No statistical difference was observed for the number of pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes dissected (P = 0.326 and P = 0.151). Significant difference was observed in satisfaction of the cytoreduction (95.3% vs. 76.5%, P = 0.008). No significant difference were observed either in intra-operative or in post-operative complications between the two groups (P = 0.250). Three patients in the LCS group experienced intra-operative complications (4.7%) and were all treated laparoscopically. The conversion rate was 3.1%. No significant differences were observed in the progression-free survival and overall survival between the two groups during the medium follow-up of 18 months (P = 0.236 and P = 0.216). The 2-year and 3-year progression-free survival was 67.9%, 55.5% in LCS group and 53.8%, 33.3% respectively in the control group. The 2-year and 3-year overall survival was 95.8%, 88.7% respectively in the LCS group and 89.0%, 83.7% in the control group. Conclusions: Primary laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery in some strictly selected advanced stages of EOC patients was feasible and safe, resulting in oncologic outcomes not inferior to those in open surgery.
Class III radical hysterectomy (RH III)_plus pelvic lymphadenectomy is the standard surgery for early stage cervical cancer (CC) patients, the 5 year survival rate is about 90%, but pelvic floor disorders especially bladder dysfunction are common due to damaged vessels and nerve fibers following surgery. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) treatment has been used to treat bladder disorders for many years, but its effect on cervical cancer patients, the best treatment time point and stimulated protocol, had never been assessed. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of TENS treatment on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after RH III in CC patients.
Purpose To evaluate parameter changes of pelvic floor muscles in patients with female pelvic organ prolapse (POP) through diffusion tensor imaging (DTI).Materials and Methods Fifty female patients with POP at Ⅲ or ⅣV degree (research group) and fifty healthy women volunteers (control group) were collected to make prospective research.The axial DTI sequence was performed in subjects,with b=500 s/mm2,at 15 directions.DTI original images were imported into the post-processing software,and the corresponding DTI mappings were formed.In the original images,pelvic floor muscles were sketched out layer by layer,and various DTI parameters,including fractional anisotrophy (FA),mean diffusivity (MD),λl,λ2,λ3,linear anisotropy (CL),planar anisotropy (CP) and spherical anisotropy (CS),were calculated.Six kinds of pelvic floor muscles,including anal sphincter,superficial transverse perineal muscle,pubic visceral muscle,puborectal muscle and iliococcygeal muscle were measured,and five of them were measured on both sides.The difference of DTI parameters between right and left side of each muscle,and the difference of DTI parameters between research and control group were compared.Results Between the right and left side of five kinds of pelvic floor muscles in control group,significant difference was only found in FA,λ3,CP,CS value of internal obturator muscle (P<0.01,P<0.001).There were significant differences in FA,λ3,CL,CP and CS values of the left and right muscles in the study group (P<0.05,P<0.001).Compared with control group,FA value and CS value of superficial transverse perineal muscle,CL value of left pubic visceral muscle,FA,λ3,CL,CS and CP value of right pubic visceral muscle,λ1 and λ3 value of left iliococcygeal muscle of research group were significantly different (P<0.01,P<0.05).Conclusion DTI for observation of female pelvic floor muscle is technically feasible,and it can detect the injury of pelvic floor muscle in POP patients,and may be helpful to reveal the pathogenesis of POP.
Objective To investigate the value of laparoscopic bilateral uterine artery occlusion combined with hysteroscopic resection in the treatment of cesarean scar pregnancy ( CSP ) . Methods A total of 62 patients with CSP were admitted to this hospital from January 2013 to May 2015.Transvaginal ultrasound was performed for primary screening , and pelvic MRI for diagnosis. Uterine arteries were separated and coagulated during laparoscopic surgery , followed by hysteroscopic surgery .The postoperative serum hCG level tests and ultrasonography examinations were conducted for evaluating the surgical outcomes . Results The procedure was successfully completed under laparoscopy and hysteroscopy without surgical complications or conversions to open surgery in all the cases.The median blood loss was 30 ml (P25:20 ml, P75:100 ml).In 4 patients the intraoperative bleeding reached 600, 600, 800, and 800 ml, respectively, due to large lesions, with blood transfusions requirement in 3 patients.One patient received secondary hysteroscopy due to unsatisfied hCG decrease .The serum hCG levels dropped to normal in 4-75 d (30.9 ±16.9 d) after operation. The menstuation cycles recovered to normal in 20-75 d (34.8 ±11.4 d).During follow-ups for 4-32 months (15.8 ±8.0 months) in 62 cases, 5 patients had subsequent pregnancy , 4 of which had full-term pregnancy and 1 of which experienced CSP again and received hysteroscopic removal of pregnancy . Conclusion Laparoscopic bilateral uterine artery coagulation and hysteroscopic removal of pregnancy is an ideal choice for the treatment of CSP with good outcomes .
Objective: To evaluate the quality of observational studies on pelvic organ prolapse in China. Methods: The checklist of strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE) statement was applied to evaluate the observational studies. The articles were searched in the SinoMed database using the terms: prolapse, uterine prolapse, cystocele, rectal prolapse and pelvic floor; limited to Chinese core journals in obstetrics and gynecology from January 1996 to December 2015. With two 10-year groups (1996-2005 and 2006-2015), the χ(2) test was used to evaluate inter-group differences. Results: (1) A total of 386 observational studies were selected, including 15.5%(60/386) of case-control studies, 80.6%(311/386) of cohort studies and 3.9% (15/386) of cross-sectional studies. (2) There were totally 22 items including 34 sub-items in the checklist. There were 17 sub-items (50.0%, 17/34) had a reporting ratio less than 50% in all of aticles, including: 1a (study's design) 3.9% (15/386), 6a (participants) 24.6% (95/386), 6b (matched studies) 0 (0/386), 9 (bias) 8.3% (32/386), 10 (study size) 3.9%, 11 (quantitative variables) 41.2% (159/386), 12b-12e (statistical methods in detail) 0-2.6% (10/386), 13a (numbers of individuals at each stage of study) 18.9% (73/386), 13b (reasons for non-participation at each stage) 18.9%, 13c (flow diagram) 0, 16b and 16c (results of category boundaries and relative risk) 9.6% (37/386) and 0, 19 (limitations) 31.6% (122/386), 22 (funding) 20.5% (79/386). (3) The quality of articles published in the two decades (1996-2005 and 2006-2015) were compared, and 38.2%(13/34) of sub-items had been significantly improved in the second 10-year (all P<0.05). The improved items were as follows: 1b (integrity of abstract), 2 (background/rationale), 6a (participants), 7 (variables), 8 (data sources/measurement), 9 (bias), 11 (quantitative variables), 12a (statistical methods), 17 (other analyses), 18 (key results), 19 (limitations), 21 (generalisability), 22 (funding). Conclusions: The quality of observational studies on POP in China is suboptimal in half of evaluation items. However, the quality of articles published in the second 10-year have significantly improved.
Objective. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest type of ovarian cancer, but the mechanisms contributing to its tumorigenesis are not well understood. Herein, we will elucidate the role of Ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1) in EOC development Methods. The expression of TETI in EOC cell lines and primary samples was examined by western blot and immunohistochemistry. The biological role of ectopic TETI overexpression was revealed by a series of in vitro functional studies. Its downstream signaling pathway was predicted by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of microarray data. The methylation level and expression of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling inhibitors Dikkopf 1 (DKK1) and secreted Fzd receptor protein 2 (SFRP2) were examined by Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, Epimark (TM) 5hmC and 5mC level analysis and quantitative RT-PCR Small interference RNA (siRNA) technology was used to investigate the biological roles of DKK1 and SFRP2. Results. TETI expression was inversely correlated with clinical stage in patients with EOC by tissue microarray (TMA).TET1 expression was undetected in 6 types of EOC cell lines. Ectopic expression of TETI inhibited colony formation, cell migration and invasion in SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells. Furthermore, TM overexpression reversed the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of SKOV3 cells. Mechanistically, TETI potently inhibited canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling by demethylating and upregulating two upstream antagonists of this pathway, SFRP2 and DKK1, which was associated with inhibition of EMT and cancer cell metastasis. Conclusion. This study uncovers that TETI has potent tumor-suppressive effects in EOC by activating Wnt/beta-catenin signaling inhibitors Dial and SFRP2. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Inc.
