Abstract

Activation of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone type II Receptors (GnRHR-II) exhibits antiproliferative activity. GnRHR-II is not only expressed exclusively in the pituitary, but also in a variety of tumors. To date, the clinical relevance of GnRHR-II in ovarian tumors is unclear. In addition, there is a lack of literature addressing GnRHR-II in ovarian tumors, especially rare types. This study was conducted to investigare the correlation between GnRHR-II expression with clinicopathology and proliferative activity of rare ovarian tumors. The purpose of this study was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design that utilized 18 ovarian tumor samples on tissue microarray (TMA). The expression of GnRHR-II and Ki67 was assessed using immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and observed using the IHC profiler plugin ImageJ software to obtain their respective H-scores. The data was analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's test, and Fisher's exact test based on data types. The value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. GnRHR-II is expressed in various forms in ovarian tumors, including extrapituitary expression. GnRHR-II expression was highest in the sex cord stromal tumor (SCST) group, 110.30 ± 23.89 (p<0.0001). In addition, there was also a significant difference between GnRHR-II expression with age (p<0.001) and the primary tumor (p<0.05), but not with tumor type (p=0.101). There is a correlation between GnRHR-II expression and proliferative activity (r=-0.043, p=0.866). Elevated GnRHR-II expression is significantly correlation with SCST, individuals over 40 years of age, and tumors confined to the ovary and it is correlates with lower proliferative activity, although this correlation is very weak.

Abstract

Genotype is an important factor in warfarin dosing requirements and affects the risk of excess anticoagulant use due to its narrow treatment window, high drug interactions, and frequent bleeding. The CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes have a strong and consistent association with warfarin dose requirements, and the algorithms of dosing incorporating genetic and clinical information are stable warfarin dose predictions. The review article aimed to investigate the association between the genotype of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 and the current relevant dosing recommendations for warfarin in various patients. The secondary purpose was to correlate genotype with the international normalized ratio (INR). It was a narrative review of the most recent reference (observational, trial study, and RCT) on the clinical application of pharmacogenomic testing for warfarin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics and its impact on INR over the last 5 yr from the PubMed and SAGEPub databases. Six studies were included in this review and showed how the genetic polymorphisms and dosage responses of different groups differed. Pharmacogenetic algorithms meet non-inferior and superior criteria for reducing dose titration compared to traditional dosing approaches, and predict actual maintenance doses well. Bleeding mostly occurred in the first mo of treatment, with no significant difference in the frequency of total bleeding between groups. Genotype-based dosing of warfarin increased the proportion of time in the therapeutic INR range (% TTR) and reduced the time to reach a therapeutic INR. Administration of CYP2C9 and VKORC1 genotypes based on warfarin may be beneficial in patients with atrial fibrillation, mechanical valve replacement, and bleeding prophylaxis for hip or knee arthroplasty. Stable warfarin doses were achieved in statistically more patients in the genotype-targeted group (47%) than in the traditional group (22%).
