Abstract
HOX genes constitute a family of evolutionarily conserved transcription factors that play pivotal roles in embryonic development, tissue patterning, and cell differentiation. These genes are essential for the precise spatial and temporal control of body axis formation in vertebrates. In addition to their developmental functions, HOX genes have garnered significant attention for their involvement in various diseases, including cancer. Deregulation of HOX gene expression has been observed in numerous malignancies, where they can influence tumorigenesis, progression, and therapeutic responses. This review provides an overview of the diverse roles of HOX genes in development, disease, and potential therapeutic targets, highlighting their significance in understanding biological processes and their potential clinical implications.

Abstract
A cross-sectional study was done to assess the degree of current awareness and behaviors about cervical cancer among females in urban and rural areas of North India. This survey was conducted on one thousand females (500 rural and 500 urban). A well-structured questionnaire was designed to collect information about participants' knowledge on cancer of cervix uteri such as age, height and weight measurements, marital status, menstrual status, personal hygiene, age at menarche, sexual history, pregnancy and abortion history, use of contraceptive pills for birth-control, smoking, alcohol consumption, and other relevant information. The data was collected by conducting face-to-face interviews after obtaining the verbal consent of the participants. The data has the potential to reduce disease burden by spreading awareness about symptoms and risk factors of cervical cancer as well as implementation of effective early screening strategies.

Abstract
Cancer remains a major global health concern with high mortality rates mainly due to late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of gene expression in human cancer, functioning through various mechanisms including as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) and indirectly regulating miRNA expression. LncRNAs have been found to have both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive roles in cancer, with the former promoting cancer cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and poor prognosis. Recent research has shown that lncRNAs are expressed in various immune cells and are involved in cancer cell immune escape and the modulation of the tumor microenvironment, thus highlighting their potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy. Targeting lncRNAs in cancer or immune cells could enhance the anti-tumor immune response and improve cancer immunotherapy outcomes. However, further research is required to fully understand the functional roles of lncRNAs in cancer and the immune system and their potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy. This review offers a comprehensive examination of the multifaceted roles of lncRNAs in human cancers, with a focus on their potential as targets for cancer immunotherapy. By exploring the intricate mechanisms underlying lncRNA-mediated regulation of cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and immune evasion, we provide insights into the diverse therapeutic applications of these molecules.

Abstract
Ranking from seventh in incidence to sixth in mortality, esophageal carcinoma is considered a severe malignancy of food pipe. Later-stage diagnosis, drug resistance, and a high mortality rate contribute to its lethality. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma are the two main histological subtypes of esophageal carcinoma, with squamous cell carcinoma alone accounting for more than eighty percent of its cases. While genetic anomalies are well known in esophageal cancer, accountability of epigenetic deregulations is also being explored for the recent two decades. DNA methylation, histone modifications, and functional non-coding RNAs are the crucial epigenetic players involved in the modulation of different malignancies, including esophageal carcinoma. Targeting these epigenetic aberrations will provide new insights into the development of biomarker tools for risk stratification, early diagnosis, and effective therapeutic intervention. This review discusses different epigenetic alterations, emphasizing the most significant developments in esophageal cancer epigenetics and their potential implication for the detection, prognosis, and treatment of esophageal carcinoma. Further, the preclinical and clinical status of various epigenetic drugs has also been reviewed.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide after breast, colorectal and lung cancers. Owing to a lack of awareness and resources, low- and middle-income countries bear most of the burden of cervical cancer. In developed countries, the incidence rate has been halved over the past three decades due to robust screening and implementation of vaccine programs. HPV is not the sole cause of cervical cancer but acts as a principal factor in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer. By integrating into the host genome, its oncogenic proteins (E6 and E7) alter and interfere with the standard signal transduction machinery of the host. Apoptosis is a key pathway affected by aberrant genetic mutations, polymorphisms and epigenetic mechanisms during cervical carcinogenesis. Along with DNA methylation and histone modifications, non-coding RNAs have also been implicated as epigenetic modulators in various malignancies and are being explored for reversing disease severity. This review emphasizes various genetic and epigenetic approaches regulating apoptotic pathways and HPV E6 and E7 genes that can be targeted to overcome the challenges in cervical cancer treatment. In addition, it also discusses the apoptosis targeting novel drug molecules in cervical cancer which are currently undergoing clinical and pre-clinical trials.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is among the leading causes of cancer-associated mortality in women. In spite of vaccine availability, improved screening procedures, and chemoradiation therapy, cervical cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed cancer in 23 countries and the leading cause of cancer deaths in 36 countries. There is, therefore, a need to come up with novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a remarkable role in genome regulation and contribute significantly to several developmental and disease pathways. The deregulation of lncRNAs is often observed in cancer patients, where they are shown to affect multiple cellular processes, including cell cycle, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and invasion. Many lncRNAs are found to be involved in the pathogenesis as well as progression of cervical cancer and have shown potency to track metastatic events. This review provides an overview of lncRNA mediated regulation of cervical carcinogenesis and highlights their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers as well as therapeutic targets for cervical cancer. In addition, it also discusses the challenges associated with the clinical implication of lncRNAs in cervical cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is it possible to find viral Sars-Cov–2 RNA in FF of women undergoing treatment during Covid–19 pandemic that may compromise gamete and embryo safety?
Summary answer
No viral RNA was detected in tested FF of women undergoing IVF in compliance with recommendations. This was reassuring and supported good medical practice.
What is known already
Risks due to SARS-CoV–2 during IVF remain difficult to assess despite the screening recommended by French health authorities based on a symptom questionnaire of the couple (systematic testing by RT-PCR for the virus before egg retrieval (ER) is not mandatory). In this context, this is a real challenge for IVF laboratory to guarantee procedure, patients, gametes and embryos safety. Most studies have reported the absence of virus in sperm. No data are available for FF and only one study looked for the presence of the virus in oocytes of Covid-affected patients (Barragan M et al, 2020).
Study design, size, duration
Between June 17 and September 24, 2020, FF of consenting women were prospectively collected and symptom questionnaire recorded. During this period, women undergoing IVF in our center did not benefit from systematic PCR testing for the virus within 72 hours prior to ER through our health authorities’ recommendations. All collected FF were retrospectively tested to research viral RNA by RT-PCR and patients were recalled to answer an epidemiological follow-up questionnaire.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
For all couples, symptom questionnaires were prospectively recorded and verified at each step of IVF procedure. For all consenting women, a sample of 1 ml of FF was collected the day of ER and stored at –80 °C. After thawing, a Sars-Cov2 multiplex RT-PCR using CFX96 (Biorad*) was performed, after RNA extraction using Nimbus (Seegene*). A comprehensive epidemiological evaluation was made afterwards by phone interview and data were recorded and analyzed.
Main results and the role of chance
A total of 183 women was included out of the 214 treated during this period (85.5%). Retrospective epidemiological evaluation showed that 8 patients contracted Covid more than 2 months before the ER, 6 more than 2 months after and only one patient 1 month after ER (diagnosis based on pathognomonic signs as agueusia and anosmia or/and positive PCR ). We observed a prevalence of symptomatic Covid forms in our IVF population of 8.2% during a 6-month period surrounding their IVF cycle. Moreover, until the introduction of systematic testing by RT-PCR for the virus before ER since the end of September 2020, 3 patients have been cancelled out of the 403 planned for positive PCR despite a negative questionnaire, which represents a prevalence of asymptomatic forms on the day of the ER at 0.7%. All the 183 FF tested did not reveal any viral RNA detection, which was reassuring concerning our medical practice and patient compliance and transparency. The absence of detected viral RNA may be due to several reasons: 1) women were not infected the day of ER 2) women had an asymptomatic form of the disease with low viral load 3) FF is not a virus reservoir.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Not all patients were included (85.5%). Post-diagnosis stays uncertain because PCR tests at the beginning of the epidemic were not mandatory and hardly available.
Wider implications of the findings: The absence of viral RNA in FF of women only screened through a symptom questionnaire is reassuring concerning the safety of IVF during Covid pandemic.

Abstract
This prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was designed to study the effect of iron therapy on the growth of iron-replete and iron-deficient children, and to study the change in iron status in iron-deficient children with iron therapy. One hundred and fifty children (aged 6-24 months) were included in the study. After an informed written consent, 100 healthy children, who were iron replete (group I) according to preset criteria, were randomly allocated to receive iron supplements 2 ng/kg/day (group IA) or placebo (group IB). Fifty iron-deficient children (group II) were administered iron syrup 6 mg/kg/day. Growth parameters (weight, length and head-circumference) and hematological parameters were studied for 4 months. Iron therapy, as compared with placebo, produced a significant improvement of mean monthly weight gain (p < 0.001) and linear growth (p < 0.001) in the iron-deficient children. However, it significantly decreased the weight gain (p < 0.001) and linear growth (p < 0.001) of iron-replete children. Caution should therefore be exercised while supplementing iron to children with apparently normal growth and when the iron status of the child is not known.

Abstract
In our study we investigated 100 couples of unexplained infertility in order to detect the presence of anti-spermatozoal antibodies. Both auto-immunity and Iso-immunity have been found responsible in 12.5% of couples of primary infertility & 10% of couples of secondary infertility. As many as, 21% of cases of unexplained infertility were attributed to presence of antibodies in sera of infertile couples. Here, we highlight the importance of anti-spermatozoal antibodies testing in the first instance itself in cases of unexplained infertility.

Abstract
Cytohormonal profile of unstained vaginal smears were studied under phase contrast microscope to define various cell morphologies in detail and build up of smear pattern serially in various stages of menstrual cycle and first trimester of pregnancy. The findings were correlated clinically and found comparable to Papanicolaou stained smears. The maturation index was calculated more objectively by phase contract microscopy because of the refractile appearance of the pyknotic nuclei of superficial cells. The prognostication of abortion was done by combining abnormal maturation index and the presence of syncytiotrophoblasts in vaginal smears. Under phase contrast microscope, the sensitivity of abnormal smear was 87.5%, the specificity was 95%, the positive predictive value was 96.55% and the overall accuracy was 90% as compared to positive Papanicolaou smear whose sensitivity though 93%, had low specificity of 50% only. Phase contrast study appears to offer certain distinct advantage over the conventional light microscopy for quick, comprehensive and quantitative assessment of the study material. It allows the physician to detect changes in the material obtained from the patients without detour of laboratory fixation and staining. It is technically easy as errors in interpretation due to unsatisfactory fixation, staining and artefacts are obviated. Thus phase contrast microscopy offers an alternative and easy method of cytohormonal evaluation of wet and unstained smears.

Abstract
A total of 62 patients of gastric carcinoma were studied to find a correlation between newer prognostic indicators like cell proliferative indices including Nucleolar Organizer regions (AgNORs), Ki 67 Labelling Index and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) expression with the various, histopathological criteria and compared with 30 controls of non neoplastic gastric diseases. EGFR expression was positive in 48(77.4%) cases. The Ki 67 labelling indices ranged from 0 to 50% with a mean of 21.35 +/- 17.88% among the cases. AgNOR counts ranged from 1.64 to 4.49 with a mean of 3.41 +/- 0.81 among the cases. Positive EGFR expression correlated strongly with differentiation of the tumour, poorly differentiated tumours showing a higher positivity. EGFR positivity also showed good correlation with metastasis as well as with the invasiveness of the tumour. Ki 67 labelling indices correlated significantly with metastatic status, microscopic types and degree of differentiation of the tumour. A strong correlation was observed between AgNOR counts and metastasis as well as the microscopic type of the tumour. EGFR expression correlated strongly with Ki 67 scores and weakly with AgNOR counts among the patients of gastric carcinoma.

Abstract
A total of 148 surgically removed benign and malignant breast lesions were studied to correlate cytomorphologial features in impression smears and histopathological sections. Mammograms were taken prior to surgery. Role of mammography in detection of non-palpable breast lesions was enlightened. Impression smears helped in quick diagnosis (intraoperative) and overall accuracy obtained was 97.4%. Cluster predominant and Grade II nuclear grading on smear pattern was seen in 58.8% and 57.4% cases respectively amongst the 68 malignant cases. 45% cases revealed non-palpable breast lesions on mammography which was later confirmed on histopathology.

Abstract
RPHA and latex agglutination are two cost effective techniques available for HBsAg screening in our country. Most of the blood banks and other clinical laboratories use RPHA technique or latex agglutination test for screening of donors or patients positive for Hepatitis B surface Ag (HBsAg). All the reagent kits available in the Indian market do not give the ranges of specificity, sensitivity and predictive values for the particular test. Also no data is available if they were tested on Asian sera. Therefore it was decided to evaluated the two most often used techniques RPHA and latex agglutination for their sensitivities and efficacy as a screening test. Our results indicate that though RPHA may be used in a diagnostic set up, it is a poor screening tool as it gives a fairly large number of false negatives and has a low sensitivity. Latex agglutination on the other hand, does not give any false negative results and is recommended for preliminary screening, wherever cost is a constraint. The sera with positive results should be subsequently tested by EIA to rule out the false positive results.
