Exploring the Relationship Between Adipocytokines and Endometrial Cancer: Identifying Correlations With Clinico-Pathological Prognostic Factors.

Background: Endometrial cancer, a malignancy linked with obesity, may be influenced by adipocytokines signalling due to chronic inflammation. This study explores the molecular expression patterns of adiponectin, leptin, interleukin6 (IL6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, and their receptors in endometrial cancer patients and associations with lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) and other tumour characteristics.

Methods: We analysed mRNA expression levels of the above biomarkers in endometrial cancer tissue using quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), comparing them to benign endometrial tissue controls.

Circulating Adipocytokines and Insulin Like-Growth Factors and Their Modulation in Obesity-Associated Endometrial Cancer.

The rising global incidence of uterine cancer is linked to the escalating prevalence of obesity. Obesity results in alterations in adipocytokines and IGFs, driving cancer progression via inflammation, increased cell proliferation, and apoptosis inhibition, although the precise mechanisms are still unclear. This study examined a set of six markers, namely, adiponectin, leptin, IL6, TNFα, IGF1, and IGF2 and compared them between fifty age-matched endometrial cancer patients (study group) and non-cancer patients with benign gynaecological conditions (control group).

The Role of Cytokines in Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Gynaecological Cancers: A Systematic Review.

Chronic inflammation has been closely linked to the development and progression of various cancers. The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process involving the acquisition of mesenchymal features by carcinoma cells and is an important link between inflammation and cancer development. Inflammatory mediators in the tumour micro-environment, such as cytokines and chemokines, can promote EMT changes in cancer cells.

Adipocytokines and disease progression in endometrial cancer: a systematic review.

The objective of the study was to document the effect of adipocytokines on endometrial cancer progression. A search of the databases CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Embase and Google Scholar was performed for English language articles from January 2000 to December 2020 using the keywords: (Endometrial cancer) AND (progression OR metastasis) AND (adipocytokine OR adiponectin OR leptin OR visfatin OR IL-6 OR TNF-α OR adipokine OR cytokine). Forty-nine studies on adipocytokines have been included in this review.

Role of Intravenous Tranexamic Acid on Caesarean Blood Loss: A Prospective Randomised Study.

Background: Post-partum haemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal mortality globally. Tranexamic acid, an anti-fibrinolytic agent, is a novel approach in an attempt to prevent this dreadful complication. This study aims to document the efficacy of intravenous (IV) tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during and after caesarean section (CS).

Quality of life assessment of patients with chronic liver disease in eastern India using a Bengali translation chronic liver disease questionnaire.

Aims: The aim of this study was to translate and validate chronic liver disease questionnaire (CLDQ) into Bengali using a standard protocol and use it to assess the impact of socioeconomic factors, etiology, disease severity and complications on the quality of life of patients.

Methods: Formal translation of CLDQ to Bengali was done. Cronbach's alpha and test-retest was performed for reliability analysis.
