Abstract
RATIONALE Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease during gestation is sparse and even rarer when combined with bilateral large corpus luteum cysts. In this case, we report a case of anti-GBM disease in the early stage of pregnancy with ruptured newly formed bilateral large corpus luteum cysts. PATIENT CONCERNS A 24-year-old female was initially diagnosed with anti-GBM disease. During treatment, abdominal distention and vaginal bleeding successively staged. The results of the first gynecological ultrasound and abdominal CT were negative. DIAGNOSIS Based on the dynamic imaging change of the ovaries, the elevated human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and sex hormones, and the pathological findings, a diagnosis of anti-GBM disease with rupture of the newly formed bilateral corpus luteum cysts during early pregnancy was considered. INTERVENTIONS The patient was treated with corticosteroids, plasma-exchange along with intensive hemodialysis. Then, to confirm the diagnosis, laparoscopic debulking of bilateral ovarian cysts and curettage were performed. OUTCOMES After treatment, the anti-GBM antibody titer declined and the condition of the patient was still stable 2 months following discharge. LESSONS As clinicians, we should be aware that even if the first imaging tests are negative, the relevant indicators should be reviewed dynamically based on the condition of the patients. Additionally, this case raised the question of whether anti-GBM disease was associated with pregnancy and giant corpus luteum cysts, which needs further investigations.

Abstract
There are few studies that evaluated the relationship between dietary diversity score (DDS) and risk of cancer. The purpose of this study was to examine the association of DDS with the risk of prostate cancer (PC) among Iranian men. This case-control study was performed among 60 cases with prostate cancer and 60 hospital-based controls. Anthropometric measurements were done and demographic information was recorded using standard protocols. A validated 160-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to assess usual dietary intakes. Also, Binary logistic regression was performed to estimate the risk of PC in relation to DDS. After controlling for several confounders (age, body mass index, physical activity, energy intake, job, education, and antihypertensive drugs usage) higher adherence to DDS (OR = 0.33; 95% CI (0.11-0.97)), fruits group (OR = 0.19; 95% CI (0.06-0.63)), and vegetables group (OR = 0.17; 95% CI (0.05 - 0.58)) were significantly associated with lower risk of PC. In contrast, greater adherence to the meat group (OR = 3.88; 95% CI (1.32-11.42)) was significantly associated with increased PC risk. Our results showed that adherence to a diet with higher DDS, especially higher amounts of fruits and vegetables and a lower amount of meat could decrease the risk of PC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some observational studies investigated the association between dietary energy density (DED) and risk of cancers with inconstant results. In addition, there is no study on such association among patients with prostate cancer (PC). The present study was performed to evaluate the association between dietary energy density (DED) and PC risk. METHODS In this case-control study, one hundred and twenty-five participants were enrolled (62 cases and 63 controls). Dietary intakes were assessed using 160-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. In addition, demographic characteristics were collected using a general questionnaire and anthropometric indices were measured based on the available guidelines. The association between DED and PC risk was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS The results showed that higher DED score was associated with increased risk of PC (OR = 2.59; 95% CI= (1.24-5.40)). Interestingly, after adjusting for potential confounders ((smoking, physical activity, energy intake, education, ethnicity, job, anti-hyperlipidemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs, and aspirin) the results remained significant (OR = 2.87; 95% CI= (1.17-7.05)). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that DED may increase the risk of PC. However, more prospective studies are warranted to confirm these results.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent with demonstrated reproductive toxicity. This study sought to determine the DOX-induced toxicity in the ovary and uterus and the preventive effects of quercetin (QCT) and vitamin E (Vit.E). Female rats were divided into six groups as follows: control, QCT (20 mg/kg), Vit.E (200 mg/kg), DOX (accumulative 15 mg/kg), DOX/QCT, and DOX/Vit.E. After 3 weeks, the toxicity of DOX in ovarian and uterine tissues and the potential palliative effects of QCT and Vit.E were evaluated by histopathological-stereological methods. The findings indicate a dramatic decline in the number of ovarian follicles (p < 0.001), ovarian and its associated structures volume, the volume of the uterus, its layers, and related structures (p < 0.05). Coadministration of QCT and Vit.E with DOX-treated rats demonstrated an alleviative effect on most of the studied parameters. Nevertheless, few adverse effects were recognized concerning these antioxidants administration (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the findings of this study support the protective role of these dietary supplements in the prevention of DOX-induced toxicity in uterine and ovarian tissues.
