Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies worldwide. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) offers a non-invasive treatment modality. However, the clinical efficacy of SDT is hampered by the insufficient tumor accumulation of sonosensitizers. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) stands out as a clinically approved strain with an excellent safety profile and tumor targeting ability. In this study, we developed a bioengineered probiotic platform utilizing EcN, surface-functionalized with hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and water-soluble chitosan, to enhance SDT and facilitate immune activation in ovarian cancer. The engineered probiotic HW@EcN, exhibited significant tumor-targeting ability, selectively accumulating in acidic tumor microenvironment (TME) and releasing HMME in a pH-responsive manner. Upon ultrasound (US) activation, HW@EcN generated reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to tumor cell death and enhanced immune responses. In vivo studies using a C57BL/6 murine model demonstrated selective targeting of HW@EcN by tumor, and effective tumor growth inhibition, with significant immune activation indicated by increased CD4+ and CD8+ T cell and elevated IFN-γ levels. Histopathological analysis confirmed the biocompatibility of HW@EcN with minimal off-target toxicity. This bioengineered probiotic platform HW@EcN presents a clinically translatable approach for improving SDT efficacy and immune activation, paving the way for innovative cancer therapies.
RATIONALE:Ureteral injury from sutures during total hysterectomy is a relatively uncommon but potentially severe complication that can lead to serious sequelae such as ureterovaginal fistula or renal insufficiency. The management of such injuries remains challenging, and there is a need for effective and minimally invasive approaches to mitigate complications and enhance patient recovery. This study aims to introduce a novel minimally invasive alternative - transvaginal suture removal and ureteral stenting under local anesthesia - and to evaluate its efficacy in reducing complications and improving patient outcomes. PATIENT CONCERNS:A 49-year-old female experienced mild lumbar pain on the fourth day after total laparoscopic hysterectomy for uterine fibroids and adenomyosis. She had no prior kidney issues but developed postoperative right low back pain, microscopic hematuria, and ultrasound evidence of right hydronephrosis and ureteral dilation. DIAGNOSES:The patient was diagnosed with iatrogenic ureteral injury due to sutures, confirmed by ultrasound and surgical video review showing the right ureter partially sutured to the vaginal stump. INTERVENTIONS:We performed transvaginal suture removal and ureteral stenting under local anesthesia. This minimally invasive approach avoided general anesthesia and secondary laparoscopic surgery. OUTCOMES:The procedure was successful, with smooth suture removal and stent implantation. The patient's symptoms significantly improved on the second postoperative day. Follow-up at 1 month revealed no discomfort, and the ureteral stent was removed 3 months later. LESSONS:This case highlights transvaginal suture removal as a novel, minimally invasive treatment for iatrogenic lower ureteral injuries. This approach may be performed by gynecologists under local anesthesia, potentially preventing severe complications and reducing patient discomfort and costs.
BackgroundLymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) is a crucial prognostic factor in cervical cancer (CC), and its assessment is essential for developing personalized treatment strategies.ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study was to focused on constructing LVSI predictive model based on clinical indicators and evaluating its predictive performance across different FIGO staging cohorts.Study designWe included 691 patients, with 348 patients having 2009 FIGO stage IB1-IIA2 CC assigned to Cohort 1, and 343 patients with 2018 FIGO stage IB1-IIIC1r CC assigned to Cohort 2. In Cohort 1, univariable and multivariable regression analyses, along with Mallows’ Cp, R squared-R, and LASSO, were used to select variables forming Model 1. Model 2 included the FIGO stage. We compared the contribution of different FIGO stages to the LVSI prediction model in both cohorts. The final LVSI prediction model for the entire cohort was constructed using selected variables and risk stratification was established. The models were evaluated through internal validations using ROC curves, C-index, Clinical Impact Curve (CIC), and Decision Curve.ResultsFive variables were incorporated into Model 1: age, Pathology, Depth of Stromal Invasion (DSI), SCC-Ag, and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH). Model 2 was established by incorporating the FIGO staging system. Compared with the two models, there was no significant difference in ROC, ΔC-index and ΔNRI. Adding FIGO clinical staging did not significantly improve predictive value. Model 1’s variable were included in the nomogram for the combined cohort. The AUC for the model-development cohort and validation cohort was 0.754 (95% CI: 0.711, 0.798) and 0.789 (95% CI: 0.727, 0.852), respectively. In both cohorts, risk stratification effectively distinguished the high-risk group, which had a significantly higher proportion of positive cases compared to the low and middle-risk groups (p < 0.01).ConclusionOur nomogram predictive model demonstrates robust LVSI prediction performance across different staging systems.
BackgroundAdenocarcinoma is a common histological subtype of cervical cancer, accounting for 10–15% of all cases. The prognosis of cervical adenocarcinoma with distant organ metastases remains unclear. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the patterns and prognosis of distant organ metastasis in cervical adenocarcinoma.MethodsWe obtained data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database spanning from 2010 to 2019. Cox regression, Kaplan–Meier, and log-rank analyses were conducted.ResultsWe observed that adenocarcinoma (AC) of the cervix primarily metastasizes to single organs, with a rate of 73.3%. The lungs are the most common organs of metastasis, followed by the liver and bones. Patients with bone metastases have a median survival period of 12 months, which is slightly longer compared to metastasis in other organs. Distant organ metastasis, age, positive lymph nodes, higher AJCC stages, larger tumor diameter, and higher cell grades are related to poor prognosis (p < 0.001). Furthermore, we have observed that surgical intervention, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can potentially provide benefits for patients with distant organ metastases.ConclusionMetastasis is an independent prognostic factor for cervical adenocarcinoma patients. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can provide an overall survival advantage for patients with distant organ metastases.
BackgroundCervical cancer, primarily driven by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection, ranks as the second most common cancer globally. Understanding combined infections’ role, including Cervical fungi, is crucial in cervical carcinogenesis. This study aims to explore the potential correlation between HR-HPV, cervical fungi, and cervical cancer, while adjusting for various factors.MethodsThe study population comprised patients undergoing colposcopy and conization due to abnormal cervical screening results. Clinical data including age, gravidity, HPV (human papillomavirus) genotypes, cervical pathology, and p16/Ki67 expression were extracted. Cervical TCT (ThinPrep Pap Test) and HPV testing are utilized for screening cervical lesions, with fungal presence suggested by TCT results. 5,528 participants were included in this study. Statistical analyses investigated associations between HPV/fungi co-infection and cervical lesions, employing multinomial logistic regression and interaction analysis.ResultsCo-infection with fungi and HPV may decrease the risk of cervical lesions compared to HPV infection alone. In the co-infection group, compared with HPV infection alone, the risk of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) was reduced by 27% (OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.59–0.90), the risk of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) was reduced by 35% (OR = 0.65, 95% CI: 0.51–0.82), and the risk of cervical cancer was reduced by 43% (OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.35–0.92). The interaction analysis revealed a negative interaction between fungal and HPV infections in the development of cervical cancer (RERI = −6.25, AP = −0.79, SI = 0.52), HSIL (RERI = −19.15, AP = −0.37, SI = 0.72) and LSIL (RERI = −1.87, AP = −0.33, SI = 0.71), suggesting a sub-additive effect, where the combined effect of the two infections was less than the sum of their individual effects. This indicates that fungal infection may attenuate the promoting effect of HPV on cervical lesions. In exploring the potential mechanism, we found that the co-infection group had significantly lower p16 positivity (54.6%) compared to the HPV-only group (60.2%) (p = 0.004), while there was no statistically significant difference in Ki67 positivity.ConclusionThis study unveils the intricate relationship between cervical fungi and HPV in cervical lesions. Co-infection with fungi and HPV against cervical lesions compared to HPV infection alone, indicating a novel clinical interaction. Lower p16 positivity in co-infection hints at a protective mechanism, urging further exploration.
