Abstract

Hypospadias is a congenital disorder in boys due to low fetal androgen hormones. Hypospadias is one of the congenital disorders with the highest prevalence. Several studies have revealed the association of hypospadias with cardiovascular disease. There are still very few studies that summarize cardiovascular manifestations in pediatric hypospadias. Therefore, this study was designed to describe the cardiovascular risk in pediatric patients with hypospadias. Method : Journal searches were carried out through several research databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and Sciencedirect . The keywords used were "hypospadias", "cardiovascular", and "pediatric". The results of the literature search were 1,543 journals with 20 journals meeting the criteria. Results and Discussion : Hypospadias is one of the second most common congenital abnormalities in men after testicular undescensus . Children born with hypospadias are proven to experience changes in vascular structure, namely increased carotid intima media thickness (CMIT) and are associated with hypertension. Hypospadias patients have impaired endothelial function, decreased vasorelaxation, and increased vasoreactivity. The underlying mechanism is a Rho kinase and ROS dependent process. Conclusion: Children with hypospadias have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

Background : Uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) is a rare, aggressive malignancy with high recurrence and poor survival, necessitating prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), implicated in tumorigenesis and angiogenesis, remains understudied in ULMS. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed COX-2’s prognostic role in ULMS. Methods : Following PRISMA guidelines, six studies (n=185) were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus (2001–2024). Inclusion criteria required ULMS cohorts with COX-2 expression data and survival outcomes. Risk of bias was assessed using QUADAS-2, and evidence certainty via GRADE. A random-effects meta-analysis calculated pooled effect estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), while heterogeneity was evaluated using I² statistics. Result : COX-2 expression correlated moderately with epithelial components (pooled effect: 0.51, 95% CI: 0.26–0.77) and weakly with mesenchymal components (0.26, 95% CI: 0.06–0.45). High heterogeneity (I² = 89.5% and 82.2%) reflected differences in study design, tumor subtypes, and COX-2 measurement thresholds. QUADAS-2 indicated a low risk of bias, and GRADE confirmed high evidence certainty. Stronger epithelial correlations were observed in Asian cohorts, highlighting geographic variability. Conclusions: COX-2 plays a more significant role in epithelial-driven ULMS carcinogenesis. Despite heterogeneity, robust methodologies support these findings. Future studies should standardize COX-2 assessment, expand cohort sizes, and integrate multi-omics approaches to refine prognostic and therapeutic applications.
